Difference in Estimates of Damage
From Accident-Other Items.

D1Herence estimates or damage
From Accident-Other Items.
The Georgetown and Tenleytown Electric
Railroad Company, it is said, has made no
settlement with the Columbia Athletic Club
for the damage sustained by the boathouse
of the latter at the foot of 32d street, from
the collision with a runaway car, which oc-
CURED last September. After the accident
the railroad company requested the club to
submit a statement of the total damage
done, and this was attended to. Experts
employed by the railroad company after
ward viewed the damage, and there is a
big discrepancy between the totals, the ex-
perts only allowing about one-quarter Of
the damage which the club names. So far
only one claim has been paid, and that to
Mr.. Ballinger, son of Mr.. NJ. A. Ballinger
the real estate broker, who was given S25
for a destroyed boat. The negotiations for
a settlement are still pending, and the in
dications point to satisfactory adjust
ment.
The regular md-week services will be
held tomorrow evening at the West Street
Presbyterian Church. Rev. w. C. Alexan-
der. DID, the pastor, will deliver a lacture
appropriate to the Lenten season.
Rev. William j. Ennis, 81, formerly vice
rector of Georgetown University, will de-
liver the sermon this evening at Trinity
Church, the occasion being the regular
Wednesday Lenten service.
The regular meeting of Independent
Lodge, Independent Order of Good Tenn
plars, was held last evening. There was

AS A PRECAUTION.
Commissioners Direct Suspension of
Work of Removing Snow.

By direction Of the District Commission
ers Superintendent Stutler of the street
cleaning department suspended last Sat
urday the work of removing the snow and
ice from the streets. 1t is stated that the
order was issued in order that a reasonable
amount of the emergency appropriations
made by Congress for the purpose might
be retained to meet any future snow storm
this season. The amount remaining is said
to be about $1,000.
Since the work was suspended Saturday
the labor of removing the snow and ice
has devolved upon the sun and warm tenn
perature The efforts of these agencies
have not however been entirely satisfac
tory to the people of the District, judging
from the complaints which have been made,
and the question has been asked why, If the
snow and ice cannot be removed under the
emergency appropriations, the work cannot
be performed by the contractor having
charge of cleaning the streets? 1t appears,
however, that under the provisions of the
contract existing between the District and
the contractor he cannot be required to do
anything else than sweep the streets and
remove the sweepings, his work in remov-
ing snow being paid out of a special appro-
priation.
1t has been suggested that if the snow
and ice remaining the streets should be
opened up and thrown out upon the road
ways it would soon, under the influence
of the sun and warm temperature, wholly
disappear in few hours. But In answer
to this suggestion 1t is stated that the con-
tractor cannot even be required to do this,
and the street cleaning department is said
to be without funds to do it unless the Com
missioners authorize the superintendent to
draw upon the snow and ice appropriations.
Therefore, it is understood, until old Sol
or a warm rain completes the work the
unsightly and flth-attracting heaps of
snow and ice will remain on the streets,
despite the protests of the citizens of the
District, and despite also the assertion that
they can be depended upon to breed dis
ease.

DisorderIy ON Street Cars,

A young colored man named William
Johnson was in the Police Court this morn
ing charged with disorderly conduct on
street car at 9th and F streets northwest
last night. He was arrested by the police
on complaint of Representative Charles K
Wheeler. Johnson's language was so bad
that the complainant stepped from the car
and called an officer This he did for the
protection of the many ladies who were
passengers on the car. Judge Kimball Inn
posed a penalty on Johnson of $40 or thirty
days on the farm.

MANILA, Dec. 6.-The hope Of ending
the insurrection and halting military
operations in the Philippines. which
seemed so bright a few days ago, has
again faded into an uncertain future.
Much has been accomplished. During
the last few weeks the campaigning has
been almost phenomenal
In dreadful weather, through a devas-
tated country. across swollen rivers.
along roads that were impossible for
wagons, artillery. and in some cases for
cavalry, the advance of troops has been
so rapid and in so many directions that
they have often been beyond military
telegraph lines. and operations have ne
cessarily been independently conducted by
the field commanders. The army is right
fully proud.
The insurgents have had a series of
routs and disasters. The slaughter has
been great. They have lost a large quan-
uty OF supplies and munitions Of war and
more than one thousand of their
armed men have surrendered or been cap
tured during their retreats in the last
few weeks. Their government has been
scattered or captured. What Of it is at
liberty is in flight. A portion of Aguin-
aldo's family is in our lines. Aguinaldo
himself is a fugitive
Notwithstanding all these things there
Is no reason for an extreme optimistic
view OF the situation. Nothing more is
heard or having the rebellion stamped out
In the course OF few days. That sort
or talk only lasted while the insurgent
leaders were slipping away last week
Field commanders now think that the end
is still afar.
1t is admitted that little is definitely
known or the present strength or
whereabouts of the insurgents. Aguin-
aldo's entire army is estimated at from
twenty TO thirty thousand armed men,
scattered through the islands. There are
5000 American soldiers now in the Philip
pines, $1,000 being in LuZon. These are
already SO greatly scattered by recent op-
erationS, with the exception of those in
Manila, where u, 900 are concentrated,
that they seem like a mere handful. Still
we hold less than one-third of the area of
Luzon. but what We have is not desir-
able territory.
Indications are that Agiinaldo escaped
to the north with a much larger body of
troops than was at first supposed. This
force, reported at from 1000 TO 5000 men,
was originally recruited in the northern
provinces, and the men are reputed to be
good fighters
Not one of our columns Is in direct con-
tact with the enemy. 1t is a game Of hide

HITCHCOCK MAY BE
HAYWARD'S SUCCESSOR
Governor Poynter Refuses to Discuss
the Matter Until After the
Funeral.

OMAHA. Dec. 6.-Ever since the late
Senator Hayward was taken sick and II
was known that the chances were against
his recovery there has been considerable
talk as to whom Governor Poynter would
appoint TO the vacancy. The only ones
prominently mentioned are ex-senator
Allen and G. NJ. Hitchcock. editor of the
Omaha World-Herald. The Democrats
are urging the appointment OF the latter
on the ground that they have not re-
ceived their proportion OF the offices under
the fusion deals Of the past few years
They also urge that the next Legislature
which must permanently fill the vacancy
will have two Senators TO select, the HaV-
wards successor and one TO succeed Sana-
tor Thurston, whose term expires one year
from next March. The Populists insist
upon the naming Of ex-senator Allen. II
was reported that Allen had stated that
he did not desire the appointment. but a
telegram from him denies this The
Populist members OF Congress from
Nebraska have wired Governor Poynter
urging Mr.. Aliens appointment and this
has been supplemented by kilograms from
the Populist and free silver Senators from
other States and some OF the Congress
men.
Governor Poynter refuses TO publicly
discuss the matter until after the funeral
OF Senator Hayward. The funeral OF the
late Senator will be held at Nebraska
City tomorrow afternoon.
