APPROVES AMENDMENT.
Attorneys Opinion of Penalty Clause
in Regulations Governing Mires.

in Regulations Governing Wires.
The attorney for the District has re-
ported to the Commissioners that the pro
posed amendment to the police regulations
providing a penalty for strnging overhead
wires without permit Is proper and with
in their authority. This amendment, as
stated in The Star at the time, was pro-
posed by the District electrical engineer.
and is follows:
Amy person stringing additional tele-
graph, telephone, messenger, signal OF cleo
trio lighting wires, or changing the loca-
ton of any pole or overhead electric wire,
without a permit aforesaid, shall, on
conviction thereof in the Police Court of the
District of Columbia, be punished by fine
of not less than $40 nor moro than $50 for
each and every offense."
In his report the attorney for the District
says:
prohibiting the further extension of over
head wires provides no penalty for its in
fraction. But Congress, by joint resolution
approved February 26, 1892, to regulate Ii
censeS to proprietorS of theaters in the CITY
of Washington and for other purposes, has
conferred upon the Commissioners very large
power to make police regulations. Section
of that resolution provides that the Com
missioners of the District are authorized
and empowered to make and enforce all
such reasonable and usual regulations as
they may deem necessary Tor the protection
of lives. limbs, health, comfort and quiet
of all persons, and the protection If all
property within the District.
Overhead wires a serious obstruction

EXCUR SIONS.

Washington Is at all times Mecca for
tourists and sightseers, but the fall season
seems to be the most popular time, If one
may Judge by the number of strangers who
are now in the city. After all the sights of
the national capital have been viewed trav-
elers should return home-or, at least, con-
tinue on their way-by way of Fortress
Monroe, probably the most popular resort
on the Atlantic seaboard. The steamers of
the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company make the sail down the Potomac
and Chesapeake bay to Old Point Comfort
a very enjoyable trip. One of these steam
ers leaves 7th street wharf every evening
at $50 O'Clock. arriving at Fortress Mon
roe and Norfolk early the following morn
ing. Any information as to tickets, rates,
etc. may be obtained at the company's Of
fees at 1th street wharf
The electric trains of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway
Company carried many a person to Airing
ton and Mount Vernon while the Episcopal
convention was in session here and the
visiting knights and their friends were in
the city. The electric trains leave the sta
ton at 13la street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. about every forty-five minutes for Ar
lington and Alexandria, and every hour
from 10 am. to 3 pm. for Mount Vernon.
The regular fare for the round trip to Ar
lington will again be reduced the coming
Sunday on the electric trains of the road.
The trains leave the station every forty
five minutes during the day for Arlington
on Sundays.
Arlington and Fort Myer are two very
popular places on Sunday, and if the day is
any ways fine on the coming Sunday the
electric cars which run from the Aqueduct
bridge to both these places are certain to
be well filed, as usual. Those who enjoy
spending part of Sunday in the country
should not fail to take in Arlington. The
electric cars leave the Aqueduct bridge
about every half hour for Arlington, Fort
Myer and Falls Church.

SOLDIERS DEATHS.
A Companion With Those Occurring
During the War of the Rebellion.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Looking over your issue Of September 9,
find in the elaborate history of the 1st Dis
trict Regiment that, on their return to this
city from the Cuban campaign four months
after leaving here to enter upon active
service in the spanish-American war. their
losses by death from sickness amounted to
fourteen members, whose names are given.
And since then, up to date, over five
months in ALL it has increased to nine more,
or total of twenty-three, which, count
ing their original strength (9S3) In round
numbers at 900 officers and men, is an
average of about 2.33 per cent Sorrowfu
and severe this loss is to the many
freinds of this popular and most excellent
regiment, yet, considering the hardsh1ps
incurred in the mu1 and water trencnes De
fore Santiago, exposure to the maiarlous
air, being, as l understand they We're un-
avoidaby, without proper tentage In that
fever-breeding climate, In my opinion II Is
more surprising that their death loss was
not very much heavier. And yet 1t was
really not so great as was that OF many,
If not nearly ALL the regiments encamped
around Washington in the fall and winter
of lS61-62, in the great camp OF 1nstrac-
ton In the organization l haG the honor
to belong to. the Berdan Sharpshooters
who were encamped at the head of what Is
now 1st street northwest. where 1t runs
up to the Soldiers Home grounds, from the
third week OF November, 1861, 10 tne tiliu
week of March, 1862. at which latter time
we broke camp for active service. our loss
by death from sickness was at the rate or
2S6 per cent. and which I have every rea-
son to believe was fair average Of deaths
by fevers, lung disease, etc, in the great
army surrounding the national capital at
that time, making of Washington vast
hospital city. During the time mentioned,
four months only, our loss out of 400 men
(SiXteen companies) was thirty-nine deaths.
and | never heard 1t said or charged that
either President Lincoln or his Secretary
of War were in any way to blame there
for. Nor can l understand how President
Mckinley or his Secretary Of War. General
Ager, can be charged with the deaths oc.
curing during the four or five months
war with Spain. These deaths were simply
one of the natural results of service IN the
field. particularly among new troops.
According to The Star of the 18th instant,
DR. Maus testified before the war inVestl-
eating committee that "in the history OF
the camp at Jacksonville there had been
2Si deaths out of 81 600 men," which is less
than one per hundred. The sharpshooters'
loss as here shown was treble the Jackson
VILE percentage and the same number of
soldiers from our army in camp of inStruc-
ton in 1S61-62 as that given by Dr. Maus
will he found to outnumber in deaths this
surgeons report In probably the same pro
portion.
The sick list among the sharpshooters
alarming, often more than 200 day being
under the doctors care. In fact, so great
was our loss by discharge from sickness
that recruiting parties We're sent out be-
fore we broke camp for active service.
