ment problems monopolized the attention

project. The decision was reached after

During the early part of last nights ses-
sion DIR. c. G.. Stone moved reconsider--
ton of the action taken at the former
meeting. stating that he thought another
vote would place the association on record
as being in favor of the Thirteenth Street
extension.
1t was hinted that the meeting had been
packed in favor OF the Thirteenth Street
proposition. and Mr.. Lancaster opposed re-
consideration, saying it would be tunpar-
liamentary and revolutionary He main
tanned that the subject could not be con-
sidered again until notice to that effect

PREPARING THEIR ESTIMATES.
Commissioners at work ON the
budget for 1901.

Several people. including the District
Superintendent of Charities, appeared be-
fore the District Commissioners yesterday
in connection with the preparation of the
annual budget of estimates for the fiscal
year 1901. The Commissioners have been
engaged upon this work about two weeks
and expect to conclude their labOrs a week
from today. The first going over of the
schedule was finished yesterday The
greater part of next week will be given
over to final reconsideration of the bud
get as already prepared and in some places
cutting may be necessary to bring the total
estimate within the amount contemplated
by the board A number of representa-
tives of charity institutions are yet 10 be
heard.
Present indications point 10 budget OF
about SO. GOO zoo. The estimate for the cur
rent fiscal year was sS.5ss. .092.77. and the
Commissioners do not expect to increase
this amount more than 100000, although
they will include about $i00,e00 in the
schedule for street extensions authorized
by the last Congress, which comes out of
the Golfers of the District entirely, and
is not paid half by the District and half
by the Federal Government, as are other
municipal appropriations. Commissioner
Ross stated yesterday that the extensions
made as soon as possible. and that con-
demnation proceedings are going forward
as fast as juries of irquisition can be
gotten together for the purpose The
whole schedule of proposed extensions has
proceeded far enough. he thought to war
rant the Commissioners to ask for at least
$500, ,000
The estimates Will have to be completed
In time to be submitted to Congress with
the annual message of the President Last
year the work was not concluded until thu
latter part of October. 1t will certainly
be ended by next Saturday night this year.
and the greater part of October will be
devoted to the preparation of the annual
report of the Commissioners, which will
include some elaborate statements Of rea-

DEDICATED FOR STREETS.
Land mt the Head of Fourteenth
street Donated.

A question which has been puzzling the
Commissioners for solution for many
years was settled yesterday wnen certain
parts OF what is known as the Mattingly
tract at the intersection OF Fourteenth
Street and Whitney Avenue were dedicated
for street purposes. Commissioner Ross
stated before leaving the District Building
yesterday evening that, speaking for the
entire Board of Commissioners, they were
gratifed at the donation and felt that a
very difficult problem had been overcome
Traffic conditions at the head of Fourteenth
Street have been congested ever since the
city began 10 expand toward the neighbor-
hood of the Rock CrecR National Park
Business traffic increased and the thor
oughfares entering Fourteenth Street at
the point where it joins Whitney Avenue
became favorite drives. In addition to this
a blind terminal was established by the
Capital Traction Company and the man
ner in which street cars were packed in
the centre of Fourteenth Street was a con
tinual source of complaint from residents
of Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights.
With the dedication Of land from GER
tain portions of the Mattingly tract Four
teenth Street will be widened north of
Whitney Avenue. and the danger OF acci-
dents in a measure obliterated. Some por-
tions OF the tract will also be used for an
extension of Lydecker Avenue through Mr.
Mattingly's land TO Fourteenth Street, thus
giving a new through east and west street.
A third Improvement will be the widening
OF Whitney Avenue.

CHINESE MUST STAY OUT.
no More VIII BE Permitted in the
Philippines.

In the absence from the city of Seere-
tary Hay. Acting Secretary of State Hill
attended the Cabinet meeting yesterday to
discuss request made by the Chinese
Minister. Wu Tipg-fang The Minister
mas asked, in behalf of his Government.
that a ship-load of 700 Chinese be landed
In the Philippines. The ship has already
reached port but the Chinese are ire
vented by United States military officers
from landing on account OF the Chinese
exclusion regulations. The iesire OF the
Chlnese to land seems to have awakened
some unpleasant suspicious among officials
OF the Administration. After the Cabinet
meeting one of the members said that it
had been decided TO maintain the exclu-
sion law in the Philippines, for military
reasons. When asked to explain what
these military reasons were the Cabinet
officer said that 1t was hardly proper to
make any statement about 1t now. He was
asked II the Administration suspected that
the Chinese were TO be enlisted in the IN
surgent army, and he replied, after some
hesitation. mot exactly"
No doubt was left that the President
and members of the Cabinet believe that
the admission of Chinese would tend to
have direct and unfavorable effect on
the military situation, although it could
not be learned in specific terms what was
expected to result from granting admis-
sion. Secretary Root was directed to send
cablegram to General Otis asking for
further information regarding the Chinese
and their object in seeking admission to

f. Roe, chairman Of the committee on
parade for the Dewey reception. refused
today to allow the G. A. r. posts of New
York City to take the place they asked for
at the head of the line Notwithstanding
the fact that Governor Roosevelt sent him
telegram directing him to give the G.. A.
X men the place they wanted General
Rce's action in refusing the right OF the
line TO the G. A. r. men was approved by
unanimous vote Of the committee on
plan and scope.
General Roe read a statement at the
meeting of the committee on plan and scope
in which he stated that at the first confer
ence he held with the G. A. r. officials he
informed them that the G. A. r. would be
assigned a position in the lead of the
unarmed organizations, and that the prop
osltion was accepted.
At later interview between the com
mander-in-c -chief of the c. A R.; the State
Commander, Colonel Couldon, and himself
practically a demand was made that the
Grand Army men should have the right
OF the column. He had explained that this
could not be done and the declinaticn to
parade followed Gen Albert D. Shaw
Commander in Chief of the G. A. R., also
gave out statement saying he had made
the request that the veterans have the right
of the line following the precedents of two
States, First, in Chicago at the jubilee
parade, the veterans were accorded the
right of line, and. second, on the return
oil the Tenth Regiment Pennsylvania Vol

THE DEWEY HOME.

Fund Wakes a Final AnneaI

- IN 0HaF-e Oh the
Fund Makes "A Final Appeal.
The committee In charge of the fund for
the purchase Of home for Admiral
Dewey. in this city. met yesterday in the
Office OF the Secretary OF the Treasury.
Arrangements were perfected for closing
subscriptions next week, and the commit
tee requested the publication OF the follow
ing appeal:
The Dewey national home fund COM
mittee have received contributions from
about 10000 citizens. representing every
State and Territory In the Union These
aggregate $27, ,065, exclusive OF the eontri-
buttons received this morning The fund
should be increased to at least S50 800. to
enable the committee TO purchase a home
at the capital OF the nation which will be
credit to the givers and a pride to the
hero Of Manila Bay. Admiral Dewey has
indicated to the committee a desire to
make Washington his permanent home.
Here he will, as the ranking officer OF the
United States Navy, spend the remainder
of his life. The Admiral has indicated his
grateful appreciation of the intention Of the
American people to present him a home,
and he will accept it with the spirit in
which it will be given. The COMMITTEES
must close she subscriptions before the
end of next week, before the arrival OF
Admiral Dewey and will be pleased to
receive and acknowledge By the issuance
Of a souvenir receipt any contributions.
A home will be purchased with whatever
funds the committee may have at the end
of next week. The time Is now so short
that the committee suggests those who
desire to make an immediate success Of
this work by making liberal contributions
to indicate their wishes by telegraph to
Mr. Ellis H Roberts United States Treas
urer. Washington, D. C., who is treasurer
of the fund, and to remit by first mail"
A comparison OF the amounts subscribed
by the large cities throughout the country
will show, 1t is said, a surprisingly small
percentage OF the fund given from this
city. This fact is considered remarkable,
inasmueh as the proposed home is TO be
located here, where the Admiral has many
personal friends.
