phone service in the District of Columbia.

EXCURSIONS.
To Mount Vernon and Arlington on
the Electric Trains

The electric trains of the Washington, Alexan-
dria, and Mount Vernon Railway Company form
the quick, convenient, comfortable, interesting
route to Mount Vernon, the home and tomb of
Washington. These trains run through parts OF
the prettiest country about the city, the line
lying close to the river giving beautiful views of
the water and the Maryland shore. Many points
OF interest may be viewed along this route which
would be otherwise missed. Trains run through
Alexandria, and also pass through the entire es-
tate formerly owned by Cen Washington a dis
tance of about four miles. Round-trip tickets 10
Mount Vernon are sold for GO cents. which gives
the privilege of stopping off at Alexandria and
Arlington. Tourists and sightseers should spend
a few hours in Alexandra TO see Christ Church.
where Washington worshiped the Marshall House.
where Col. Ellsworth killed, and many other
interesting spots and places to be found in this
quaint old Virginia city Trains leave the station
at Thirteen-and-a-haif Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue every hour rom 10 a. TO p. m for

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN REVIEW.
Local Communicates Have an In
spection and Parade.

Yesterday was gala day In the history
of the Knights Templar Of the District
of Columbia, when the members of the
Grand Communicates of the city partici-
pated in the grand parade preparatory to
their departure for Pittsburg, where the
triennial conclave of the order is TO be
held next week.
There was considerable deviation from
the original plan as laid down in the pro-
gram. 1t was intended that the comman-
deries should assemble at O'Clock at the
hall at Ninth and f Streets northwest
and from that point proceed to the ellipse
at the south OF the White House where
they were to be reviewed by the Presi-
knight E. G. Davis, R. E. grand COM
mander, assisted by the past grand COM
mander OF the District.
1t was found on arrival at the ellipse
however, that the grass was too wet for
the evolutions of the Knights; in conse-
ouence, after long delay, the order was
given TO proceed to the square in front of
the Arlington Hotel, where the inspection
was held, in the presence of a vast
crowd.
After the inspection the line OF march
was taken up through the gates of the
Executive Mansion to be reviewed by the
President and Mrs. Mckinley.
The President stood uncovered and as
each commandery passed he acknowl-
edged the salute given by bowling, while
Mrs Mckinley also bowed and smiled re-
peatedly. In a very few minutes the pa
rade had passed and the knights were on
the way back to their various aSylums.
The parade passed off without any ac-
cidents and barring the disappointment in
not being able 10 drill and hold their pa
rade inspection and review on the ellipse,
everything passed off in the most salts
factory manner and all praise is due TO
the officers of the Communicates for the
manner in which they met and overcame
an unexpected difficulty.
The five communicates of this city will
leave for Pittsburg the last of the week.
with the exception of the Washington
Commandery, No. l, which will not start
until Monday.
The grand encampment will remain in
session five days. The great spectacular
feature of the conclave viii be the pa
rade. in which about $4,000 nen are ex-
pected to take part. This IS about the
same number that was in line in Wash
ington in 1882 while during the conciave
at Boston three years ago over 25,9CG men
marched in procession.

BELT LINE BONDS.
RumOred Heavy Purchase by the In
terest Controlling Syndicate.


A rumor is prevalent in financial cir
cles to the effect that large block of
the bonds of the Belt Railroad has been
sold to the syndicate controlling the in
terest in the stock. The purchase is said
to have included about S350000 of the
bonds, which is much more than the con-
troll, as the total issue is but $500, 600.
This was not, however, the actual
amount of money given, as the bonds,
while having a par value of sl09, are
quoted at is bid and So asked. 1t is said
that the price paid was So The object of
the syndicate in acquiring this additional
interest is supposed to be with view
to becoming a purchaser at the sale of
the road, which is to be held by order
of the court next month.
The road has been in the hands of
receiver for some time and no interest
has been paid on the bonds for eighteen
months. Legislation has been secured to
allow of the sale of the road and bill
to that end was passed at the last session
of Congress, and the new law permits
the purchase of the road by any street
railroad corporation in the District or by
an individual or set of individuals. The
bill requires the payment of the money
due the employees, and receivers certifi-
Gates have already been issued in hqui-
dation of this debt. 1t also requires the
payment of all other debts due and owing
by the company.
In the event that those now owning
the bulk of the securities of the road be-
come the purchaser, then under the law
the road can be operated as part of
the system of the City and Suburban
Railroad or by an independent company,
composed, of course, of the same per-
sons now in control of the City and Su-
burban. 1t is estimated that the equip
ment of the road with new motive power
will involve the expenditure of about

COOLER WEATHER PROMISED.
1t Is Not. However. Due Until To-
morrow.

The faithful official who keeps tab on
the weather at Twenty-fourth and NJ
Streets promises cooling breezes within
the next twenty-four hours. He said,
however, that the excessive heat and
heavy atmospheric conditions that have
prevailed for several days will continue
a while longer and it will not be until to-
morrow probably that sweltering humani-
ty will get relief.
The temperature was high yesterday
and the humidity very great. 1t is this
combination of forces that has caused SO
much discomfort to citizens of Washing
ton for the last few days.
This is caused by continuous winds that
carry from the ocean inland the moisture
which. with the unusually high tempera-
ture. makes the atmosphere heavy in the
extreme.

Wrecked.
VICTORIA, Il. c., Feb 10 The Clara
Nevada, . fine steel steamer, OF reattIs,
has been lost about fifty miles north Of
Juneau, Alaska, with her crew and
forty passengers. The Nevada left
Dyea and Skaguay February 5th for
Juneau, homeward bound. When OF
Seward City she encountered . heavy
gale, and was in great distress when
she entered Berner Bay, evidently for
the purpose Of seeking shelter. Citi-
Zens Of Seward, from the dock, saw the
distressed vessel battling with the
wind and waves. but could lend no as
sistance. In the words OF George
Beck and wife, two of the spectators
on the dock, the scene is described as
follows:
"The vessel was bucking q strong
head Of wind and made little, if any,
progress, something apparently being
wrong with her engines. The waves
at times were running mountains
high, aud in occasional glances OF the
vessel to be had by US, We saw that she
was on fire. A high wind famed the
flames until they completely enveloped
the steamer, lighting up the night, but
shutting out from view any signs of
human life on board, Then there was
q tremendous report, as Of boilers ex-
pl0ding, was heard, accompanied by
brilliant flash, and when next we
looked for her the hull of the steamer
was sinking slowly out Of sight"
