NAMES OF STREETS.
District Commissioners Make Som
Suggestions to Congress.

The District Commissioners today, in
submitting to Chairman Babcock of the
House District committee report on
House bill 6i54, to change the names OF
certain streets in the District, recommend
three or more citizens of the District to pre-
pare a list of names for the public ways
They call attention to the fact that should
it be deemed desirable TO pass the bill with
or without amendments, IL would be neces-
sary to provide an appropriation of 5000
for the purpose Of changing the existing
street signs.
The Commissioners state that they be-
lieve that the question is very important
one. which deserves and should receive
careful and thorough attention. They be-
heve that whatever system is adopted
should be made comprehensive enough TO
cover the entire District, and not only prin-
cipal streets. but also minor ones. Inhabited
alleys, and alleys and short curbed streets
now, in some instances, called terraces.
They think that some system should DC
adopted by means of which the location of
the street with respect to the Capitol would
be indicated by the initial letter OF the
name, and also by the character of the
name; as, for instance, first series, names
of Presidents; second series, names OF
American cities; third series. names of
rivers and lakes of America; with the ter
minal designations IN w" IN E" s.S
W. and IS. E." which long use has, they
state. shown TO be convenient.
Minor streets or alleys the Commission
ers suggest, should be named places"
courts ALLEYS" or terraces" instead 81
streets" and should bear as the initial
designation the name of the principal street
rext to II on the side toward the Capitol:
as, Tor instance. if c. street were named
Grant. the minor street of the side farth-
est from the Capitol would be named
Grant place." etc.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
One Mans Return Relieves Another
Of u Murder Charge.

GALENA. Kan. February 7.-Great ex-
citement prevails over the appearance In
this city Of Tyler Gavett who disappeared
in March last from the Windsor stock farm
owned by Solon l.. Cheney, one of the most
prominent citizens of the county. AT the
time neighbors took charge of Gavietts
crops and other property and disposed of it
and circulated the report the Cheney had
murdered him.
County Attorney Stevens, in the absence
of Cheney, searched the place for the body.
This act led to an assault upon Berry
Stevens, brother of the county attorney, by
Cheney. for which a $50. 900 damage suit is
now pending. Upon his arrival here, Gaviett
Immediately secured warrants for the ar
rest Of County Attorney Stevens, charging
MIN with stealing his property. The war
rants Will be served today. The appearance
or Gaviett removes the cloud from Cheney
and leaves his accusers in a bad predica-
ment.

LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE WAR.

The House of Representatives
passed a resolution Wednesday di-
recting the President to use the
army and navy to establish a stable
and independent government in
Cuba. A similar resolution, more
strongly worded, is pending in the
Senate, and action may be taken to-
day by that body. Either resolu-
ton is to all intents a declaration
of war. However, the President
has a veto up his sleeve, and the
situation is extremely complicated.
Meanwhile Spain has seized the
French cable line, and is hurrying
war preparations.
