REMOVAL OF TRUSTS.
Difficulty Experienced by Property
Holders Under Existing Regulations.

Difficulty Experienced by Property
Holders Under Existing Regulations.
Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Sem
ate District committee, recently wrote the
Commis sioners that his attention has been
called to the trouble experienced by people
in relation to the release of deeds of trust
on lands held by them. "It happens"
wrote the senator. that persons who have
paid the notes accompanying said deeds,
have found extreme difficulty and large
expense in securing the release of the
deeds of trust. In your endeavors to SIM
plify land MATES in the District. cannot
the Commissioners take up this subject
and providesa slprt form of release that
will be sufHeienE to remove the deed of
trust from the records on the payment of
the note? meep4son who makes payment
ought to be &ble 81 once to go to the proper
person and r&moy& the cloud from his title
In reply TIE Commissioners assured Sem
ator McMillAn tAat the question will re-
ceive their bgomT attention, and that no
doubt they d&n hzfe prepared a much more
simple forn&,Of please than that now in
use. ~
1.-The while #stem of conveyancng
here" said &he, commissioners, seems to
be crude and inaz& &quate, and the matter of
simplifying The arms has been a subject
of discussio& for Npme time among the title
companies md &hers interested In real
estate transactioks. The Commissioners
would be very glad to assist in bringing
about the change referred to in your let
ter"
The matter has been submitted by the
Commissioners to their attorney with the
request that he prepare new forms of ma
pers to be employed in conveyancing that
will be more simple than those now in use

ALL FOR EXPANS SION
Sentiment of the Great Mass of People in
the Middle West.

Representative Hopkins. who has just re-
turned to Washington from Illinois for a
day, says that the great mass of people in
Illinois, and throughout the middle west for
that matter, are expansionsts. There is,
he says, a very strong popular feeling in
favor of the establishment of the authority
of this government over the Philippines,
and practically no sentiment adverse to
this can be found He says that he believes
that the situation will be so completely set
tied by the time Congress meets that the
legislation necessary for the government of
the Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii will
all be disposed of at the same time at the
first session He thinks these islands will
be given self-supportiRg governments, so
as not to add a penny to the burden of
taxation of the people of the United States,
and that they will be given practically self
government under the sovereignty of the
United States, but not a part of the ter
ritory of the United States, in the sense
that the territories on this continent are.
He says he thinks the settlement of the
matter will be of sort to give almost uni
yerSal satisfaction
Evening star., 1899-04-10
The Cuban Question.

He expresses the opinion it will take
longer to settle the question of government
for Cuba, and that the final settlement will
be the annexation of Cuba at the instance
of the Cubans themselves. as in the case OF
the annexation of Hawaii. He looks for the
complete success of the policy of expansion.
with reference to any possibility or OBJ
struction by Mr.. Reed or other republicans
who do no. believe in expansion, when 1t
comes to securing legislation, Mr.. Hopkins
says that he does not fear any SUCH OBJ
struction. The conditions that prevailed
during the last Congress will not prevail in
the next. The Presidents wishes will be
regarded, he says, in the construction of
the committees that will have to do with
carrying out the policy of the administra-
ton, and the republican party will follow
the President. He says he thinks Mr.. Reed
is too wise and too strong party man 10
interpose any obstruction to the Presidents
wishes in these matters of administration
policy.
