ONE GENT
THE CITY ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Meeting of The City Council Tonight to
Consider The Franchise.

The City Council will meet tonight to
hear the report Of the special committee
appointed by that body to hear protests
against granting franchise to the Poto-
mac and Severn Electric Railway tor
Annapolis.
This special committee. consisting OF
three members OF the board. met Tues
day night and heard the protest of
number OF Citizens. IL is to be hoped
that the Council will go slow in this mat
ter and will give it due consideration. IL
is grave matter TO the citizens and prop
erty holders along the contemplated line.
and every restriction for the protection
of life and property should be thrown
around their grant.
Our streets are narrow, crooked and
winding, and not at all suited for a rail-
way track, and whenever they are laid
property will proportionately decrease in
value. II the question is submitted to
vote of the people, only those who are
property holders and taxpayers should
be allowed to vote on a question that in
wolves so much interest TO the property
holders along the contemplated route.
THE CAPITAL would not be instrumental
IN throwing any obstacles in the way of
public improvement. but as public Jour-
nal, it believes it voices the sentiments
OF nine e-tenths of the property holders
along this contemplated route of railway
when it says they are bitterly opposed to
the project. We therefore say. 60 slow,
gentlemen. and in the language of Davy
Crocket-"be sure you are right before
you GO ahead.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Condition Of Weather and Crops
During the Past Week.

The weekly crop bulletin as issued by
the Maryland State Weather Bureau con-
tains the following information concern
ing crops and weather in Southern Mary
land during the past week
Moderate temperatures prevailed the
past week throughout the section until
Friday when the weather became some
what warmer. and since then the heat
has steadily increased. Excessive cloud
mess has been feature OF the week. and
the atmosphere has been moist and sui
try. Drought conditions continue in the
western counties, but over all other dis
tricts the rainfall has been ample in its
amount. and in some localities heavy.
A generally favorable condition pre-
walls in many localities, except that in a
few places the excess of moisture has
caused some blight and rot in tomatoes.
and interfered with the curing of tobacco
and saving of fodder. Fall blowing was
continued during the week, and over
much OF the section but little remains 10
be done. Corn is caring nicely in all
districts. Considering the section as a
whole. the corn crop IS expected to be a
large one.
Tobacco continues excellent, and hous-
ing OF the earlier crop has begun in Anne
Arundel, Prince George and Charles
counties. The wet weather has interiered
somewhat, however. and does not favor
curing. The continued showers have
also damaged the ground leaves, that
would otherwise have been OF good mar
ketable quality. In spite of these slight
drawbacks the crop is promising and will
undoubtedly be a large one.
All vegetable products have done we'll
in the. districts reporting light rainfall,
but excessive moisture has caused rot
and blight in tomatoes in some localities,
and in the dry districts the crop will be
shortened, although the bright sunshine
has fastened ripening. In some counties
the canning factories are running full
time, preparing sweet corn and tomatoes.
In the southeastern counties they are in
partial operation. The late potato crop
is variously reported; in some districts a
good yield is promised. in others the
yield will be short; where straw was used
the tubers are large in size and many in
a hill.
Sweet potatoes are generally reported
as producing well. Cantaloupes are just
beginning to be shipped in large num-
bers from some OF the north-central coun-
ties, while in portions of the shore coun-
ties the season is about over. The yields
have been large and for the most part of
good quality, although impaired in
some districts by an excess OF moisture
during the period of ripening. Apples
continue in plentiful prospect in all por-
tons of Maryland and Delaware. Peas
are only partial crop. Plum trees are
heavily laden in northern-central coun-
ties. and grapes are expected to give large
yields, although rotting to some extent
where the rains have been frequent

THE NEW YORK THE FASTEST.

New York, May 5.-The results
Of the speed trials which all the
vessels of the white squadron had
on April "a have been the subject
of much talk among naval men
and marine engineers since the
squadron reached this port. There
is a great deal of jubilation among
the officers and men OF the Mas
sachusets and New York which
ships made a far better showing
than did the Indiana and Brook
lyn respectively.
The speed trial was essentially
a race. The squadron knew that
it was to be held for two days
before it came off, and during that
time there was plenty of money
wsgered. A sort of a handicap
had been arranged, the Indiana,
Massachusetts, Texas and Brook
Ign receiving starts of 16, IL, 8
aud 4 miles respectively, New
York being the scratch" boat.
The Massachusetts passed the
Indiana, and the New York and
Brooklyn passed all the other
ships except the Massachusetts,
the New York having also passed
the Brooklyn. The New York
made the best speed, 1872 knots
on an average, the Brooklyn max.
ing less than II. The Massachu-
sets made 1882 knots on an
average and the Indiana consid-
erably less, having been able to
use forced draught on only one
boiler. The Texas made 1872
knots.

CoRsETs FORBIDDEN by DECREE.

Minister OF Educstioo orders All Girls
Attending Schools TO Eschew stays
Berlin, May 3.-The Minister of
Education of Ssxony has stirred
up a hornets nest in the feminine
world of this German principally.
Emulating his distinguished con-
temporary of the Cars dominion,
he has issued decree today that
hereafter all girls and young
ladies who attend the public
schools and colleges shall discard
corsets and stays.
The decree is the result of Wig
orous agitstions in the press and
public lectures Of the medical fra
ternity. Physicians have been un-
animous in their denunciations of
the alarming iuci ease Of ill., ht-lac-
ing, especially in Dresden and
other large cities of Saxony. The
practise has become so prevalent
that children of ten and twelve
years have become addicted to
tight lacing and it is feared that
the continuance of the custom will
prove pernicious to posterity.
Though girls and their mothers
strongly protest against the new
measure, some going 30 far as to
threaten to boycott the schools, the
prepopderance of public opinion
approves of the Minister'S action.
