The BrightwOOd Railway Again.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There have appeared from time to time in
your columns complaints of the car service
to Takoma on the Brightwood road, and ]
hope that you will give me space as a pa
tron of that road to express gratitude to
the company fer the one-fare rate that has
lust been inaugurated, and which is of very
great advantage to us. But there is one
thing yet lacking that the company could
very easily rectify If 1t would. That Is the
regularity and number of Its trains.
These two items are Of very great i'm
portance, not only to those who patronize
the road but to the company, as 1t loses
fully two-thirds of its income by contin-
uing the present service.
It would pay the company we'll to put on
extra cars morning and evening for a few
hours to accommodate the clerks and bus-
ness men.
1t is known fact that fully two-thirds of
the people who come in town do so over the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio the year round, rather than to be SUBJ
ject to the constant and altogether unnec-
essary Inconvenience of depending On a
street car line that runs as 1t pleases, with
out regard to its patrons wishes or COM
fort.
There is absolutely no excuse for the con-
duet of the company in giving us but four o..
five cars on this line-two to Takoma and
two to the District Hne-never putting on ex-
ira cars or even traiers. morning or even

small and with fiat wheels are packed with

And these few cars, running at intervals of

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE,
The Treaty Signed by Ambassador
Cambon and Commissioner kasson.

cannon ana com missioner kaSSOn.
The long-pending, reciprocity treaty ne
gotations between the United States and
France were brought to a successful close
late yesterday afternoon, when Ambassa-
dor Cambon. in behalf of France, and Com
missioner kasson, on behalf of the Unit ed
States, affixed their signatures to the reci-
procty treatv.
The concessions granted by France en-
braced most of the articles in what is
known the French minimum tariff. This
comprises GA heads. the rates being on an
average about 20 per cent below those
in the general tariff of France. 1t was
found necessary, however, owing to pro-
tests from French agrarian interests to ex-
cept from this minimum list about a ar
ticles, chiefly agricultural products
The French ministry was obliged to pay
heed to this sentiment, and in turn M Cam
bon made the exceptions condition of
closing the treaty. 1t was on this point
that the negotiations were in doubt for
several days, and it was only by compro-
missing on the extent Of the exceptions that
an agreement was made possible. AS first
presented the exceptions numbered twelve
but some of these were classes including
number of distinct items, SO that in all
there were a large number of exceptions
AS finally determined upon these excep-
tions were narrowed down to twenty four,
anu OUTSIDE OF tneIn tHe united States gets
the benefit of all the reductions on the
French minimum list.
Besides the reductions given to this conn
try the treaty is important in continuing a
number of minimum rates which would
have been abolished If the treaty had not
been concluded. The most important of
these articles are petroleum and mineral
oils.
France secures important concessions on
over 100 of the chief products sent by
France 10 this country. The Dingley law
allows not to exceed 20 per cent reduction
as basis of reciprocity, but the full 20
per cent is not allowed all the articles
covered by the treaty. On some of them
the reduction is per cent. on others 10,
others Is, and up to 30 per cent.
While quite desirous of securing a re-
duction of duty on champagne, the French
large number of reductions asked as an
offset for the proposed reduction on this
particular article AS a result the regu-
lar rates will be maintained on sparkling
wines coming to this country.
The treaty will result in placing the
products of the United States on the same
basis in France as products of Great Brit
ain and Germany. At present these coun-
tries have the minimum French rate while
the American goods, with few exceptions
nave had to pay the maximum rate.
Ambassador Cambon will leave for Paris
in about a week, carrying with him the
French draft of the treaty
The French treaty is the last of the in
struments of this kind and the treaty
work under the Dingley act is now brought
to a close. Six treaties have been made,
ALL save that with France relating to
British West India Islands.

A P LICA.T,ION DENIED
Justice Bradley Upholds Chesapeake Bay
Construction Company.
No Grounds, He Says, for Mr. Dunn's
Suit for Re-
ceiver.

Justice Bradley, in Equity Court No. l..
this afternoon in the case of Ambrose c.
Dunn of New York against the Chesapeake
Beach Railroad Company and the Chesa-
peake Bay Construction Company denied
the application of the complainant for the
appointment of a receiver and an account
ing The relief sought was characterized
by Justice Bradley as extraordinary, and
ne remarked that the court had possibly
dgnifed the application to greater degree
than was warranted by the consideration
that mad been given it, but explained
that such was necessary in order that a
proper opinion might be formed.
The Chesapeake Bay Construction Com
pany was awarded the contract for building
the Chesapeake Beach railway. In his bill
OF complaint Mr.. Dunn set forth that he
was elected vice president of the construc-
ton company at the time of organization
and on the strength of such position was
entitled to equal partnership with the 9TH
ers OF the company. He asked the court
to appoint a receiver to take charge of the
affairs of both companies and to determine
his interests therein.
In the answers filed to the bill of COM
plant 1t was admitted that at the time
the company was chartered Mr.. Dunn was
made vice president. The agreement was,
however, that each member should con-
tribute $4,000. All that was paid by Mr..
Dunn, SO it was declared. was 1888, which
amount was returned to him.
Among the complaints of Mr.. Dunn was
one that faulty construction had prevailed
i'll connection with the building of the rail-
road.
In delivering his opinion Justice Bradley
among other things, said that 1T did not
appear that the complainant had any right
to interfere with either company on his
own showing that he had contributed moth
ing in the way of funds, and that natural
1N- hn G. bn.f no 1act h.
ton company by the others, after active
operations were begun by it.
In d1sposing of the question of the right
to consider a petition for the appointment
of receiver attention was called to the
answer of President Otto Mears of the
railroad company, which set forth that
while S1,0O0,0O0 had been expended in the
construction and equipment of the rail-
road the only Indebtedness now outstand-
ing consists of current accounts arising
since the last pay day, the 18th instant.
An affidavit was introduced by President
Mears during the hearing alleging that Mr..
Dunn had attempted to multiply litigation
against the railroad company by offering
claims against it If certain parties would
file suit while his petition for the appoint
ment of receiver was pending, in order
that his case might thereby be aided. The
affidavit also stated that Mr.. Dunn promis-
ed the parties alleged to have been ap-
preached to share with them when he
should be made receiver of the railroad by
the court.
Attorney F. D. McKenney represented the
railroad company, While Attorneys Poe and
Poe appeared for 'the complainant.

HENDERSON FOR SPEAKER.

1t seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that Congressman David B.
Henderson, of iowa, will be the
speaker of the next national house of
representatives The somewhat sud
den and unexpected announcement
that Mr.. Reed was TO retire to pri-
Vate life resulted in a confusion of
candidates. for the place made va
cant, for few men have had the
assurance to aspire to the position
while Mr.. Reed was in the house,
and his overtowerIng powers of lead
ership and remarkably strong person.
atty have been enough to re-elect
him presiding officer without any
serious show of opposition. als
Withdrawal from public life left q
free field with no one candidate
possessing any especial advantage
over any other, and SO early a settle
ment Of the question, with so many
aspirants in the field, was hardly
anticipated.
The question of sectional lines has
never been a matter of serious con.
troversy latterly IN connection with
the choice of speaker, the honor
having fallen in nearly every instance
to an acknowledged party leader.
Out of thirteen speakers in the last
fifty years, eight have represented
states on the Atlantic sea board.
They we're Cobb and Crisp of
Georgia, Blaine aud Reed of Maine,
Banks of Massachusetts, Orr of South
Carolina, Pennington of New Jersey
and Randall of Pennsylvania. Speak
ers from west of the Allegheny
mountains were Boyd and Carlisle of
Kentucky, Colfax and Kerr of Indi-
ana, and Keifer of Ohio.
Colonel Henderson is perhaps as
we'll qualified for the speakership as
any of the persons named in con
nection with 1t, and, in view of the
Importance of some present day
questions, the choice of the Western
man is not out of place. He has
lived fifty years In Iowa, has had
sixteen years experience, and, al
though he has to follow in the foot
steps of one of the few remarkable
men of his time, his career as speaker
is not unlikely to be acceptable to
his party, the country and himself.
Colonel Henderson is no. masterful
character like Mr.. Reed, and he has
never shown that he possesses the
intellect, force, courage and unique
qualities of leadership such as have
distinguished the man from Maine.
But for all that it is reasonably safe
to predict that he will be an eminent
" fair, impartial and honest presid-
ing officer, and that as such his best
energies will be devoted to the
prompt and intelligent dispatch of
