After further debate the motion of
Mr.. White to lay the motion on the
table was adopted-yeas II, nays 4.
Mr., Birrell introduced a resolution
for the trimming of all trees on side
walks which interfere with vehicles
aud, also, an order appropriating $1,000
for improving the cobble stone pave
ment on Cameron from Washington to
Fairfax streets, both of which were re-
ferred, as was petition of the Alexan-
dria Light Infantry for an appropria-
ton in aid of repairs to the armory.
A. ]. Bryne's application to be ap-
pointed Superintendent of Gas was re-
ferred to the committee on light.
The Aldermen had failed to concur
in Councils reference of expert Bayne's
report to the committee on light.
Messrs Greene and Uhler were sent
as committee of conference and after
other business had been completed the
board recessed and waited long and pa
tiently. At last the committee wss
sent for and on its return,
Mr.. Greene announced that lowing to
the monumental obtuseness of one Of
the aldermen members of the commit
tee" it had been impossible to come to
any conclusion.
The Aldermen and Council, however,
afterwards agreed on the reference to
the committee on light.
An ordinance, reported from the COM
mittee on streets, was adopted provic-
ing that when any property owner Le-
titions the city to repave cutters or set
curbs, and sgrees to pay two-thirds Of
the cost. the city shall proceed to do
the work.
The proposal Of the Potomac Power
and Light Company of Georgetown to
take charge of the lighting of Alexan.
dria streets was then taken up and
read.

planned the proposal. The proposition

nish arc lights to the city at $50 per
year, and iDGandescent current at 8 IS
cents per 1000 watts,t provided that the
company shall have the exclusive right
to supply current for power purposes
for period OF five years.
Mr.. Snowden asked the difference in
cost between the present plan and the
one proposed.
Mr.. Uhler-"I think it costs in the
neighborhood of $40 or SIS for lights
now"
MIR. Snowden-"Andt this is propo-
sition to furnish the lights at $50 per
annum ?"
Mr.. Uhier-"Yes, SIR"
MIR. Brill moved that the subject be
laid over, which was agreed TO, and the
board adjourned.

A BREEZE IN THE HOUSE.

General Grosvenor, Of Ohio, now gen.
orally regarded as the spokesman of the
President on the floor of the House, yes
terday afternoon in reply to an attack
upon the policy of the administration
Interpreted the recommendation of the
Presidents message 10 mean request
for authority to use the army and navy
of the United States to establish on the
island of Cuba q government indepen=
dent of Spain.
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio democrat, attack.
ed what he termed the "vacillating"
policy of the President, the midnight
conferences" at the White House with
Senator Elkins and John J. McCook,
and asserting that the Presidents rec
omendations really meant that the
United States should force the Cuban
insurgents into an acceptance of Spain's
scheme of autonomy Congress, he de-
clared, should act and could better act
than the executive formulating his
policy at midnight behind closed doors
with the aid Of plutocracy." He was
very severe in his structures against
the idea of sending Z. S. ships
and soldiers to Cuba to stop people
from fighting who had been struggling
for years tor independence.
MIR. Hepburn made spirited and in
dignant reply, derouncing the intima.
ton of such policy as little short of
scoundrelism.
General Grosvenor followed. He
said in part: 81 wish simply to say
that the President of the United States
has asked of Congress the power to use
the army and the navy for the purpose
of establishing in the island of Cuba q
government Independent of Spain.
Cries of Where 2" on the democratic
side followed.
Mr.. Bailey said it was somewhat re-
markable that the President in sending
to Co; gress one of the most important
messages upon one of the most exciting
questions which had been before the
country in years had concluded with q
recommendation so ambiguous that it
could be the occasion of controversy.
II the President meant the freedom and
independence OF Cuba why had he net
said so? By the strict letter of the
Presidents recommendation should the
United States send troops to Cuba and
find the Spaniards with their arms
stacked they would be compelled to DIS
arm the revo!utionists. Mark my
words" said Mr.. Bailey in conclusion,
with uplfted arm aud ominous gesture,
"no President that senda the army and
navy OF the United States to force tie
patriot soldiers of Cuba to lay down
their arms will live to survive the
odium which the American people viii
fire upon him."
