was in accordance with the recommenda-

lowing bill, which was presented by Mr..
Noar, chairman Of the select committee,
was passed unanimously:
Section I. The President Of the United
States is authorized to appoint commit
tee from the country at large, of such
number as he may think proper to act
with any committee that may be appointed
by the two houses of Congress, or either
Of them, and with any committee that may

URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL.
Provides Necessary Funds for Re-
moving snow From the streets.

moving Snow From the streets.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon President Mckinley affixed his sig
nature to the urgent deficiency act of jan
uary 20, which includes an appropriation
of 81 900 for cleaning snow and ice from
the crosswalks and cutters of the gity.
This was an important act in view of the
fact that had it not been performed the
District officials would have been power
less to remove the snow of the storm OF
yesterday and last night from the streets.
When the snowstorm began yesterday
afternoon Warner Stutler, who has this
matter OF street cleaning in charge, called
the White House by telephone and asked
II anything had been done toward making
the money appropriated by Congress avail
able.
The bill was hunted up at the White
House and the President Immediately
signed it
The problem of how much money to ap-
propriate for the removal of snow has al
ways been an indefinite one for both Con-
gress and the street cleaning officials.
Some winters hardly 81 900 is needed.
At other times small approbrla
| tion of 81 900 will barely suffice TO remove
one fall of snow from the crossings. Dur
| ing the month of February. 1895, $4,000
was expended for this purpose.
Among other items in the bill signed
| yesterday are appropriations OF 81 900 for
! salaries OF special agents and the actual
| expenses OF those detailed to examine the
accounts at the several Subtreasuries and
| national banks acting as repositories un-
! der the requirements of section 36i9 of the
| Revised Statutes: for stationery for Rep
laneOus materials for the House folding
| room.

LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Commissioners Advised by Their At
torney to Oppose the Measure

tOrncy to Oppose the Measure.
8. T. Thomas attorney for the District
Commissioners. is opposed to the passage
duced by Representative jenkins, for the
purpose OF limiting the liability of stock
holders in the District of Columbia.
He submitted an opinion TO the Com
missiOners yesterday, advising them 20
make an adverse report on the measure.
Attorney Thomas expresses himself as be-
lieving that, while the general incorpora-
tion law contained in chapter twenty
eight of the Revised Statutes of the
United States pertaining to the Dis
trict might be amended with propriety.
he does not think the changes proposed
by the pending bill are desirable, or that
corporations for manufacturing purposes
should be incorporated i'll the District
without provisions to better protect the
public and creditors than those which are
embraced by the jenkins measure.
The object of the bill is to permit cor
porations to be formed for manufacturing
purposes, and TO exempt them from Ger
tain provisions of the Revised Statutes,
which relate 10 the liability Of stockhoid-
ers; the payment of capital stock; the time
within which capital stock shall be paid
in; the provision that the companies shall
make annual reports; the liability Of
trustees for failure TO make annual
reports; the personal liability of
stockholders for debts of the company TO
labOrers servants. and apprentices; the
Limitation of the time within which the
stockholders may be sued for debt. and
the requirement that transfers of real
estate be recorded.
