Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, May 11.-Bishop John c.
Keene's retirement from the active duties
of the episcopacy Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South caused feeling of re-
gret among the delegates TO general con-
ference, to whom he has been known dur
ing his almost lifelong connection with the
church. He joined the itinerancy fifty
years ago and was made a bishop in 1870.
At present he lives in New Orleans, and he
will there make his permanent home. His
salary as bishop will be continued for life
The delegates, as a special mark of re-
spect, gave rising vote in acceding to his
request to be relieved from active work
A general discussion was caused by Rev
]. B. McGehee when he introduced Il reso-
luton regarding S2SS 900 recently received
by the Conference Publishing House at
Nashville from the United States govern
ment for a war claim There has been
some speculation as to how much it cost
the publishing house to get the claim
through Congress. Usually claims law
yet gets 40 per cent for his services. In
this case the direct question was asked
one OF the members of the publishing firm
that 40 per cent was the amount. Another
member admitted however, that it was
over 80 per cent, so the lawyer secured a
fat fee for his services.
Conference decided to leave the money
In the hands of the committee on publish
ing interests, probably to be invested as

An OPINION.
Proposals for Insuring Property BE

longing to the District.
The Commissioners of the District have
determined to request proposals for insur-
ing District property for period of five
years from July l, 1898, and through ad-
yertise ements in The Star have invited pro-
poSals for the same.
Before taking this step, the Commission
ers, having an arrangement with the firm
of Wolf & Cohen for the insurance against
loss by fire of District property, asked the
opinion of the attorney of the District 10
whether, as Messrs. Wolf & Cohen con-
tended, the existing arrangement with that
firm was five-year contract 1t appears
from the opinion of their attorney that the
Commissioners, August 8, 1SSS. accepted
the proposal of Simon Wolf & Co. to insure
the District buildings and their contents
for period of five years At certain speci-
fled rates; that March 81, 1893. the Com
missioners notified Messrs. Wolf & Co.
that they desired to continue the present
arrangement" for another period OF five
years, ending July /, 1888. and that May z,
1897 the then board Of Commissioners en-
tered an order continuing. the present ar
rang sment" with Messrs. Wolf & Cohen
for an additional five years. beginning July

Being desirous of resembling that order,
the Commissioners having concluded that
proposals should be invited through
general invitation to all insurance agents
and companies, submitted to their attorney
the question of whether the order of May
Z, 1897, could be iescinded. The attorney
for the District holds that 1t can be, on
the ground, as stated by him, that the ar
Iangement with Messrs. Wolf & Cohen
was not contract within the meaning of
the act of Congress OF June IL, 1873. and
that the Commissioners were. therefore.

Capital fractions Monopoly.

Mr.. German said he agreed with Mr..
Pettigrew that Congress had been too lib
eral with railroad companies in the Dis
trict of Columbia. but bill was before the
Senate to increase taxation on street rail-
roads. He asked Mr.. Pettigrew to secure
the changes he wanted in that bill and to
let the lexington bill be passed. Mr. Cor
man said the Capital Traction Company
was the only company in the District OF
Columbia which had a charter granting 1t
power to purchase a road with ntersecting
fines The lexington and Belt Line rail-
reads, he said, were to be sold at auction
by order of the court, and if this bill should
not be passed the Capital Traction Com
pany would have monopoly of the right
10 purchase it
Evening star., 1898-05-11

Mr.. Pettigrew said he was not talking
about tie question of taxing railroads. He
wanted to provide for allowing the gov
ernment to purchase and run these roads.
Mr.. Pcttigrew gave a lengthy review of
public ownership in many cities of the
world, and said all such examples showed
that public ownership gave a cheaper and
better service than private ownership.
Speaking of the cost of roads in Phila-
deiphia Mr. Mcmillan reminded Mr.. Petit
grew that in that city the roads used the
overhead system, while here the under
ground trolley is used.
MIR. Pettigrcw said the Chevy Chase road
had not cost over $25,Uoo mile, and that
it constituted about on2-third of the Capt.
tai Traction system.
MIR. Stewart remarked that the builders
OF the Rock Creek road had donated to
the District S1oOG,D of land for Connecti-
cut avenue extended; had spent $lJO,0U0 fo~
bridges and S25o,G10 for grading.
Public Ownership Advocated.
Mr.. Butler, upon securing the floor, asked
whether the lexington company had paid
anything for its charter.
Mr. Mcmillan said it did not; but the
street railroads We're required to pay taxes
on gross earnings besides a tax on real
estate.
Mr.. Butler said he heartily indorsed Mr..
Pettisrew's amendment, and made speech
in favor of it. He said that railroads were
natural monopoles and different from other
enterprises which allowed competition. He
advocated public ownership of roads, and
as a move in that direction he favored the
Pettigrew amendment.
Mr.. GaIIinEer in Opposition.
Mr. Gallinger said he opposed the amend
ment, as it would only embarrass those
who wish TO properly construct the Eek
ington road. Mr.. Gallinger reviewed roil-
road enterprises IN the District, and
thought nothing should be done now to en-
barrass the work of continuing to build up
these roads.
"The people of the beautiful suburb of
Eckington,'' Mr.. Gallinger said, have peti-
toned Congress and held Indignation meet
iEgs in their efforts to get proper street
railroad facilities. l hope nothing will be
done to hinder the building up of this
road.
The hour of o'clock having arrived, the
consideration Of the lexington bill was
discontinued, Mr.. Mcmillan giving notice
that he would again call it up tomorrow
morning after the conclusion of the routine
business of the Senate.

Provision for the Purchase of All

AN INTERESTING DEBATE

The long-looked-for opportunity to Sc
cure consideration in the Senate for street
railroad bills in the District of Columbia
was found today Immediately after the
consideration Of morning business, when
Mr. Mcmillan, chairman Of the Senate
committee the District of Columbia,
called up House bill GAS, to amend the
charter of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company.
Mr.. Pettigrew's Amendment.
Mr.. Pettigrew proposed the amendment
of which he had formerly given notice,
providing follows:
THAT at any time after five years from
the date of the passage of this act the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
or the government of the United States
may acquire all the property of said COM
pany, by purchase or otherwise, for it's
actual value at the time the same is so ac-
qulred, without taking into account the
value of any franchise now or heretofore
granted, and may operate the same in the
lnttreS st or the public, and the rights and
privileges hereby granted shall be for a
period OF not to exceed twenty years.
His Criticism of the Bill.
Mr.. Pettigrew criticised the lexington
DILL as 1t gave that company a right to is
sue stock without limit. All previous chart
ers granted to street railroads in this city,
re said, have carefully guarded the issu-
ance oil stock so that stock could not be is
sued in excess of the amount of money ex-
pended. These provisions, he said, he sup
posed were to prevent watering Of stock,
with the idea that at some time the govern
Tlent might want to buy these roads. The
Kill, he said, allowed the lexington COM
pany to purchase the Belt line. The Rock
Greek road, he SAID, had baen given similar
authority, and had bought In the Washing
ton and Georgetown road and capitalized
1t as the Capital Traction Company with
$l2,UU0UJ0 of stock
