QUESTION OF TRACKS.
Two Views on Permit to AnacOstia
and Potomac River Railroad.


and Potomac River Railroad.
The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail
road Company recently requested permits
sion from the District Commissioners to lay
tracks in 4th street from the intersection of
o to Hardwood avenue, and north on Hare
wood avenue to Elm street. Upon the rec
ommendation of Capt. Beach, the Engineer
Commissioner the matter was referred to
the attorney for the District for his opin-
ion as to the authority of the Commission
ers to grant the desired permit. The Com
missioners' legal adviser subsequently in
formed them that, in his opinion, they are
authorized to grant the permit asked for by
the company. but Commissioner Ross does
not agree with the attorney, and he has
suggested to his associates that it would
be safer for the Commissioners to refrain
from permitting the desired extension until
directed SO to do by competent court, and
it is under stood that the Commissioners
will adopt his suggestion.
The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
way Company purchased the Belt railway,
Congress authorizing the purchaser to ope-
late the property and franchises a part
of its own system, subject 10 all rights and
obliga tions imposed by existing legislation
far as applicable. By the act of June 10,
1896. the Belt railway was authorized to
run double tracks from 4th and o streets
out 4th to Hardwood avenue, and thence to
within one year from that date. The act
of June "a. 1898 the attorney holds, en-
titles the Anacostia Company to construct
tracks in the streets named. A require
nent Of the act that the company should
construct and place in operation on the en-
tire line of said railway underground
system within one year contains an impli-
cation, the attorney thinks, that there was
then an existing RECONSTRUCTED portion of
said railway. The act Of 1898 he holds,
was. in legal effect. legislation of that date,
operating TO vivify previous legislation au-
thorlziig extensions which had not been
made within the period limited therefor. 1t
therefore is his opinion that the Commits
sionerS have authority to grant the COM
panys desired permit.
In disposing of the matter Commissioner
Ross said: Il have read with great interest
the carefully prepared opinion of the at
torney for the District. While the law may
possibly admit of the construction he gives
to it. ! do not see how the transferee of the
Belt Company can exercise power which
the Belt Company itself seems to have lost
by lapse of time. ! would. therefore deem
it safer for the Commissioners to refrain
from permitting this extension until di-
rected so to do by competent court"

AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY.
United States Express Company to Do
Away With HOrSes.

Inc automobile Is no longer merely a
means of pleasure for the wealthy 1t has
been introduced in this city in the form of
a delivery wagon, and today, for the first
time, packages We're sent about the city bv
the United States Express Company by
means of wagon propelled by electricity
The first use of the automobile was to de-
liver package at the White House, this
first trip being under the personal direction
of Mr.. johnson, the superintendent of the
United States Express Company
This city has been selected by the United
States company as the place best adapted
Tor the general use of the automobile al
though in Chicago they have been used to a
limited extent: The smooth streets of this
city olLer advantages for such service to
be found in no other place, and within a
comparatively short time it is expected
that there will be about twenty-five auto
mobiles in daily use here by the United
States company. This is less than the num-
Der of wagons now used by the company, it
being calculated that an automobile will do
more work than the old-time delivery
wagon drawn by horses.
This automobile has been in use in Balti-
more since the list Of May, and although
constantly run over the rough streets of
that city it shows but little evidence of
wear. 1t is a handsome vehicle and is
Crnamented in q style very similar to the
other delivery wagons of the express COM
pany. The tires are of solid rubber and
the vehicle moves noiSelessly. Its load ca
pacity is 12,O00 pounds and it cost 81 30
1t has a speed of thirteen miles an hour.

END OF WAR NOT IN SIGHT
Private Letter From War Correspondent in
Manila,
He Tells Friends I'm London That Gen.
Otis Suppresses the
News.

LONDON, July pa private letter re-
ceived here today from a war correspon-
dent at Manila. and dated June IL. says:
There seems to be no end of the war IN
sight. The censorship is constantly becom-
ing more troublesome. Gen. Otis recently
established rule that any matter relating
to the navy must be taken to the COM
mander of the fleet for his approval and
afterward submitted to the military censor.
thus adding to our difficulties. For some
reason which the censor would not explain
Gen. Otis refused to allow US to send the
death of the Monadnock's captain (Nich-
ols) for two days after Its occurrence. The
general also refused to let US send news of
the disappearance of Capt. Rockefeller
(April 2S) on the ground that il would
worry his family, or the killing of Capt
Tilly of the signal corps until the next day
The correspondents are all very tired OF
this arrangement, which simply means that
they must go out and run large chances OF
getting shot, several times a week. with no
chance of making regulations, because
their stories must always reflect Gus
views.
1T is impossible to write the truth about
the situation. The resources and fighting
qualities of the natives are quite misunder-
stood by the American papers, and we can
not write the facts without being accused
of treason; nor can We tell of the practi-
cally unanimous opposition to and dislike
of the war among the American troops.
The volunteers, or at least portion OF
them, were at one time on the verge of
mutiny, and unless Gen. Otis had begun
sending them homeward there would have
been sensational developments.
I'VE have been absolutely refused all hos
pital figures"

IN JAIL FOR REFUSAL TO WORK.
Sad Plight of Contract Laborers on
Hawaiian Island.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-"When 1
was at Honolulu Rabbi NJ. S. Levy of this
city said, Il had occasion to visit the isl
and prison of Oahu, and my attention was
drawn to thirty-seven Galicians, subjects of
Austria, who We're confined because they
had refused to fulfill their contracts to la
Dor on the Oahu plantation. They had
refused to fulfill a contract entered
into in Europe prior to emigration to work
for three years in the Oahu plantation. l
have the original contract made by Jacob
Teper at Bremen. You will perceive that
it calls for three years labor on the plan
tation, to work out the expenses of the
passage of each immigrant at SIS a month.
Under the contract his pay would run only
for the time he is actually employed. If
he falls sick his expenses run against him.
AS a matter of fact, Jacob Teper, after
nearly three months work, had incurred
debt of some s. to the plantation.
They told me they were treated with cru
city and oppression on the plantation and
were given such poor food that they were
Dor of a plantation in the tropics.
'+They are now in prison under an indef-
mite sentence, to continue until they pay
the debt or agree to go back to work 1T
out on the plantation. So great was their
horror of the seventies of plantation life
that they, told me that they would prefer
to stay in Jail forever rather than go back
to work for the company.

Permission for Use of Capitol Grounds
Granted by Vice President.

Granted by Vice President.
Vice President Hobart has given his con-
sent to the use of the grounds east of tine
Capitol for the Dewey sword presentation
exercises. The Vice President has also
granted permission for the construction of
8 platform or reviewing stand, to be erect
ed on the east front of the Capitol under
the supervision of the architect of the Cap
itol. This permission was the result of
conference held last week by Mr.. w. H.
Moses, chairman of the Dewey reception
committee. and Col Richard Bright, ser
geant-at-arms of the United States Senate,
with Vice President Hobart at Long
Branch.
This morning Col. Bright and Mr.. Elliott
Woods of the office of the architect of the
Capitol called on MIR. W. W. Cox, who is
acting chairman of the committee of 100
during the absence of Mr.. Moses, in re-
gard to the arrangements for the Dewey
exercises. These gentlemen have promised
to cordially cooperate with the committee
III carrying out the details incident to the
occasion. As result of today's conference
MIR. Woods, who is acting architect of the
Capitol, has undertaken the preparation
of drawings of the reviewing stand for the
committee At the request of the commit
tee and with the approval of the Vice Pres
ident the Capitol police board will super

large crowds in the Capitol and on the
grounds on Dewey day.
Much comment has within the last few days
been expressed in New York newspapers
at the success of the Washington commit
tee in securing so prompt an acceptance
of their invitation to Admiral Dewey. But
the cablegram of yesterday which the New
York committee received from the admiral
has relieved the depressed feeling which has
for few days prevailed among the MEN,

DESIRABLE TRADE ARRANGEMENT
hoth sides Pleased With the New
FrancO-Anserican Treaty.

The signing of the Franco American ROOF
procity treaty Is accepted in official quar-
tiers. government and diplomatic as not
only a desirable trade ARRANGEMENT. but
also as another evidence of the friendly no.
htical ties between the two countries. Ex-
pressfons to this effect were EXCHANGED dur
ing the later days of the negotiations be-
tween those highest in authority on both
sides, and 1t is understood that President
Mckinley in particular was desirous that
there should be no failure in a negotiation
which promised to establish another friend
ly bond between the countries In a per-
sonal way it is regarded as noteworthy
achievement of the French ambassador
who In his comparatively brief service here
has made reciprocity agreement a reci-
procity treaty and has acted as the peace-
maker between the United States and
Spain. 1t is seldom that so many imnor-
tant duties fall to the lot of one foreign
representative In the present negotiations
M. Charpentier, the French reciprocity ex-
pert is sharing with the ambassador in the
honors of bringing to close the difficult
and tedious negotiations. The officials on
pressons of triumph over the results as
they say each side has secured a fair equiv
alent for what 1t has given, and that the
trade of both countries will be much bene-
flied. The shipments of the United States
to France are considerably more than those
coming from France, and last year this
trade to France exceeded 50O,00O0O0 francs
while the trade from France amounted TO
about 250,00000O francs. More than half of
this traffic will be influenced by the rates
established in the new treaty. In the case
of the French slletments goods worth go
100000 france are on the free list, while
another 5o,ooG,p00 francs of goods are not
affected by the treaty. leaving shipments
valued at 15(sb00g6O francs to be directly
affected by tie Few rates. The value of
American goeas affected would be even
greater than that owing to the larger
amount of AIperfaan exports.
