SHOULD BE AMENDED,
Opinion of Commissioner Concern.

Opinion of Com toners Concern
ing Senate Bill 5I34.
Senate bill 5134, relating to prvte con-
duits in the District, has been returned to
the Senate District committee by the Dis
trict Commissioners, with a recommends
ton that it be amended
Some time ago. state the Commissioners
a representative of the Chr. Heurich Brew
ing Company had some conversation with
one of the Commissioners with reference to
obtaining permit to make electric connec-
ton between their plant in square ~ and
other premises owned by them in squares
IL and 20. one square north of square D.
such connection TO c made through an I'M
foreground electric conduit constructed by
them in the public street. The company
was informed that the Commissioners could
not grant such permission unless they We're
authorized by Congress to do So which
suggestion resulted in the introduction of
the bill.
The premises which the brewery COMPANY
desires to connect with each other are sitli-
ated near the Potomac river west of the
old observatory grounds. This is by no
means, the Commissioners explain, a resi-
dence section, but is sparsely built IN. and
the streets in II are unmproved In view
of these conditions, the Commissioners see
no objection to permitting the construction
of the conduit and maning the desired con-
nections. under proper regulations They
suggested, however. that the bill be so
amended as to grant the desired permit To
the brewing company only in this particular
case.

THE MAINE VICTIMS
To be Disinterred and Reburied IL
the Arlington Cemetery.

the Arlington Cemetery.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Oct. 22.-The
bodies Of the sailors and marines who
persisted In the blowing up Of the
Maine. and which were afterward bur-
led in Havana, will be brought to this
country and reinforced in the National
cemetery at Arlington. This state
ment is made on the authority of As
slstant Secretary Of the Navy Allen. No
definite date has been set for the
bringing Of the bodies to this country,
but Mr.. Allen said that It Will occur
during January or February.
After the catastrophe a few OF the
bodies recovered were brought to the
United States and buried at Key West,
but many Of the unidentified, as well as
some OF the known martyrs, were In
TERED in the Christobal Colon cemetery,
situated in the suburbs Of Havana.
Shortly after the blowing up of the
vessel, Representative Boutelle, OF
Maine, introduced a bill In Congress-.
appropriating $4,000 for the removal
and burial In this country OF those who
were sleeping on Cuban soil. The time
Of the transfer OF the remains was left
to the discretion OF the secretary OF the
navy. No action was ever taken In the
matter, however, and since then the
relatives Of the dead have importuned
in vain for him to carry out the wishes
Of Congress.
In addition to the pleadlngs Of the
relatives, several patriotic societies
have interested themselves In the pro-
ject and at last have succeeded In Sc
curing definite promise from the Of
ficiaf. This assurance was given yes
terday to Major Howard Mills, prom
inent member OF the Society of the
Army Of the Potomac, and also Of the
Loyal Legion, who from the very first
has taken an active part In the move
ment.
No preparations have as yet been
made for the lnterment at Arlington,
but, according to the statement Of Ma
jor Mills. the Refinement Will be SOL
emnized in q manner BETTING the mem
ory of the nations heroes. 1t is expect
ed that, in addition to the presence OF
the patriotic societies and the United
States troops. the President and his
cabinet will attend, 1t Is thought.
though not definitely decided upon, that
the bodies of the sailors and marinc5
will be buried in close proximity to the
soldiers who lost their lives in the
Santiago campaign.
