painful injuries Monday from tho esplo-

AGAINST BELGIAN BLOCK.
Merchants and Property Owners q
9TH Street File Petitions.

Merchants and Property Owners ON
eth Street File Petitions.
A committee, consisting of Messrs Isa-
dore Saks. James Lansburgh, John r..
Major, House &Herrman, r. Harris Chas.
kraemer, Fred Eberly, Peter Nee, IBen
Solomon, c. Kattlemann and others, repre-
senting every property owner and mer-
chant on 7th street between Pennsylvania
avenue and K street. called upon the Dis
trict Commissioners today for the purpose
OF presenting petitions for the removal
from It'll street between the streets desg-
mated of the present Belgian block pave
m.ent and for replacing it with asphalt or
some other smooth-surface pavement.
Attorney Jesse H. Wilson acted as
spokesman of the committee, and in pre-
senting the petitions earnestly urged the
action asked. The Commissioners took the
matter under consideration. suggesting,
however, that it would be well for the COM
mittee to present the matter to the Senate
and House district committees as the Com
missioners can do nothing without direct
authority from Congress.
Commissioner Black stated that the Com
nlissioners have already recommended that
Belgian block should not be replaced on
such thoroUghfares as It'll street, and while
they would be glad to afford the desired re-
lief, it cannot be done in the absence Of ex-
press authority therefor from Congress-
Commissioner Black also called attention
to complaints which the Commissioners
nave received from property owners on
other streets so paved, remarking that
similar petitions could easily be obtained
from them.
Comm issioner Ross expressed his sympa-
thy With the prayer of the petitioners, and
suggested that they seek the assistance OF
the two District committees in Congress,
which Mr.. Wilson, on their behalf, prom
ised to do. Mr.. Ross also remarked that
1t was unfortunate that the matter had
not been brought to the attention of the
Commissioners last summer, SO that they
could have provided for it in their annual
estimates. He said the Commissioners
would take the matter into consideration,
promising an early reply to the petitions.

PROPOSED NAVAL STATION
Purchase Of Danish West India Islands Fa.
v0red.
Report Submitted to the Senate From
the Foreign Relations Committee
Appropriation of $4,000, 600.

H.-a
Senator Lodge reported to the Senate To-
Gay from the committee on foreign rela-
lions bill directing the President of the
United States to purchass the Danish West
India Islands Of st. Croix, St. Thomas and
st. John, or any of them. for a naval and
coaling' station. The purchase Is to he
made upon such terms as he may in his dis
erection deem advisable. The sum of S.
OO0OOO or so much thereof as may be neces-
sary is appropriated for the purchase.
Senator Lodge submitted lengthy re-
port upon the proposed purchase The To-
cation OF toe islands is described and
their history given. A review is given OF
the former attempts at purchase, beginning
In 1855, when the negotiation was begun
by Mr.. Seward. After twenty-four years
negotiations were reopened by Secretary
Foster and continued under his SUCCESSORS J.
In the argument in favor of the purchase,
the report says. that as long as the islands
are in the market there is danger that they
will be acquired by some foreign govern
ment. This would be an infraction of the
Monroe doctrine and involve the United
States in serious difficulty with the Eu-
rerean power which sought possession Of
the island The United States has always
teen anxious to acquire a naval station in
the West Indies.
Such a ccaling station is important in
time of peace and essential to our safety
in time of war. The islands could be easily
governed as a territory. They occupy q
strategic position and are of incalculable
value to the United States, not only of
the fart Of the national defense, but as re-
moving by their possession a very probable
cause of foreign complications.
