PETITION FOR MANDAMUS
District Messenger Company Seeks Com
pulsory Order Upon Commissioners
Denial of Application for Permission
mirni Seifridge's Residence.

The United S;Tses of America, on the re-
| lation of the Mutual District Messenger
Company, today filed n petition for man
damus to compel the Commissioners of
| thu District of Columbia TO issue permit
| TO connect the residence of Rear Admiral
| Thomas o. Seifridge, jr.. by electric wire,
with a pole in front of the house.
Ii is explained that recently Rear Admi-
Ial Selfridge made application to the Mu-
! tual District Messenger Company, request
ing that it's burglar alarm system be in
stalled in his house during his absence
from the District the house being situated
on the corner of Columbia road and Kalo-
rama avenue. A wire used by the mes
senge- company runs along Columbia road
on poles, CT which is situated directly
in front of the naval officers residence.
To connect the wire on the pole with the
house 1t would be necessary to string a
new wire from the pole to the house over
about four feet of sidewalk on Columbia
road.
The Commissioners, 1t is stated have de-
clinel to issue the permit 10 make the con-
necton. on the ground that they are with
out legal authority to permit the stringlng
of wires by the messenger company. Ihey
have further announced that the wire
strung along Columbia road, with which
it was proposed to connect the house or
Rear Admiral Selfridge. was strung with
out authority and exists in violation OF
law.
The messenger company declares that the
refusal on the part of the Commissioners
10 grant the desired permit is an arbitrary
refusal. the stand being taken that the
Commissioners have full legal authority to
permit the stringing of the wire, and that
the wire running along Columbia road does
not exist in violation OF law.
Accompanying the declaration is a copy
of a letter from Rear Admiral Selfridge to
the Commissioners. in it he stated that 1t
was his intention to close his house June
:. to be absent from the city till october
| that ne has a large amount of valuable
property in his residence exposed to the
depreda lions of trampS and thieves, and
that ii Is essential and vital to the safety
of his property that he should have addi-
tiOnal protection than that furnished by
the pGlico. He therefore desired that his
house should be wired by the messenger
company.
The matter was called To the attention
Of Justice Bradley. who directed the Com
missioncrs TO show cause at 10 a M the
9th instant why the writ of mandamus
should not issue rs asked.
MessGs. Berry and Minor are the attorneys
for the plaintiff.

sjstiug of Chairman Moses, Vice Chairman
Cox and District Commissioners Wight
Ross and Beach, will cali upon him and

eminent desires to take in an event that
will be necessarily national.
Chairman Moses and the other officers

of the necessary details. A design has been
prepared and is being Autographed for the
stationery to be utilized in the correspond
ence Of the committee, and as soon as this
is completed letter to Admiral Dewey will
be forwarded to him at some point where
II can be delivered TO the recipient In per-
son by consular representative OF the
| United States. This missive will be pre-
| coded by a cablegram acQua!fting Admiral
| Dewey OF the dispatch of the letter and ap-
| prising him Of its destination, so that he

| thusiastio welcome which the national city
| Is planning for him.

Populistic governors seem to
be all the time doing the wrong
thing. Gov. Lee, of South Da-
kota, wants the volunteers from
that state returned from Manila
and wrote President Mckinley
to that effect. In his letter to the
president he says that $50 far as
the information of the people of
my statego they do noknow that
any war exigency exists at the
present time" Lee should sub
scribe for some reliable daily pa
per and read the news. he could
probably be convinced that a war
was in progress. He and Waite,
of Colorado, together with the
governor of Nebraska should be
hitched together and exhibited
as the three biggest nonentities
than ever were elected to the
governors chair. Mr.. McKin-
ley promptly advised this would
be dictator that the volunteers
would be returned when the war
department deemed it expedient
to do so.

In response to an inquiry from

teers in the Philippines, with ref
erence to the insistence of some
of the northwestern states that
their soldiers be returned, Gov

ing statement:
'The people of North Dakota
are in fcn sympathy with the
policy of President Mckinley re-
garding the war in the Philip
pine islands. While we would
welcome the return of our brave
boys at an early day, neither the
people here nor the soldiers
there desire any action that
would embarrass the govern.
ment in the right and proper
settlement of the grave question
confronting the nation. We
not believe the conflict is being
waged in the interest of liberty
and humanity and the people of
North Dakota are willing. to bear
the full share of the burdens
and responsibilities placedat this
