Archbishop Bourgade and those massed
about them on the capitol steps barring
their heads as the first strains of this
sacred national hymn fell upon their

the building there was a rush for ad-

and adjacent thoroughfares, and in two
seconds there was a crush and block

Finally the side doors were opened and
the pressure relieved.

In the beautiful hall of the house of
representatives was a brilliant and
fashionable audience, composed Of fully
1900 persons, and in and about the
building, in the corridors and on the
grounds were as many more who could
not gain admission. On the rostrum
were seated Chief Justice w. j. Mills

Washington, June 5.-Senator Tur-
ner, of Washington, spoke on the bill to
establish q court of pension appeals,
which he introduced at the request of
the G. A. R. Turner attacked the ad-
ministration of the pension department
because. he said, lit is denying just and
proper pensions to old soldiers of the
republic, their widows and their
orphans" Turner urged congress
not to adjourn tomorrow while so many
important measures are lying unacted
upon. Senator Gallinger expressed
sincere regret that a member OF the
pensions committee, in the closing
hours of the session felt 1t his duty to
make an argument that is nothing, II it
is not political and partisan.

ELEVENTH STREET EXTENSION
The Views of Attorneys ON the Court
Of Appeals Decision.

A number Of attorneys, representing
property holders along the line OF the
proposed extension Of Eleventh Street
northwest. appeared before the District
Commissioners yesterday to confer with
them regarding the conditions existing as
a result Of the recent decision Of the Court
Of Appeals on the question Of the so-ca!led
street extension assessments.
Samuel Maddox acted as spokesman for
the party and introduced the subject 10 the
Commissioners. He then called on Leo
Simmons TO make statement OF the case
to the board Mr. Simmons addressed the
Comm ssioners at length, arguing against
the plan of assessing the cost OF street I'M
provement one-half upon the District and
one-half upon the owners Of the abutting
property He declared that the practice
was wrong in theory, and that nothing bet
ter could be expected Of ii than that IL
should be declared unconstitutional by the
court Mr. Simmons said that ne believed
the act unconstitutional in that Congress
had no right TO FIX arbitrarily, the amount
Of benefits TO be assessed.
As a matter Of relief to the property
holders represented by the attorneys pres
ent Mr.. simmons urged the Commission
ers 10 apply at once to the court for the
confirmation of the awards Of the jury. and
TO proceed with the work Of opening the
street. paying the cost thereof. In The
second place. he urged them to apply to
the court for the appointment Of second
Jury to assess the benefits Of the extension,
and thus to reimburse themselves FOR the
money expended in proportion 10 the value
OF the improvement to the adjoining prop
erty
Mr. Simmons read a communication TO
the Commissioners. setting forth that the
necessary legislation should be passed by
Congress 10 enable the course he had indi-
Gated to be pursued in future street ex-
! tensions He argued that the scheme Of
charging one half Of the cost on property
holders was unfair, unjust and not to be
tolerated.

NEW YORK. May To-Day 5 sto IL mar
ket was the most quiet in a very long
time. the duIlnoss being emphasized by
the Suspension Of business both at Lon
don and Chicago. Its tone, however. vas
for the most part firm. Notwithstanding
the disappointment that nothing more than
the regular 2 u per cent dividend rate
was declared on Pennsylvania stock. there
was only a slight decline in that instance,
and during the course Of the day she stock
more than recovered its loss.
The attitude Of the directors Of the
Pennsylvania Company was regarded as
more than usually conservative. and there
can be no question but that had hey
decided to make some advance in the rate.
the whole market would nave been h1ne-
flied thereby As it was. however. the stock
itself was but hiue affected and no per-
ceptble influence was evident as regarded
the remainder Of the list. Particularly
strong features Of the market were Mis-
souri, Pacific and the other so-ealled Gould
shares. The advance in Missouri Pacific
was unattended by any particular news
or gossip although a better understanding
was evident in regard 10 yesterdays an
nouncement Of the debenture bonds issue.
The dealings in the railway list devel-
Optu lev ltdlNEGS OF especial interest out
there were a number Of material recOveries
scored from yesterdays low level The
granger shares were particularly steady,
and there were substantial advances IN
the Atchison issues and the Pacific stocks.
Sugar Refining was still the conspicuous
feature Of the industrial quarter The
stock opened al a material decline from
yesterdays final figures but subsequently
Il showed a much hrmer tone Nothing
that was new or definite regarding the
supposed negotiations for a settlement OF
the trade war was learned today. but a
substantial Improvement in actual trade
conditions was reported. The industrials
otherwise showed small and irregular
changes. the Tobacco stocks being fairly
active and advances noted in Pressed
Steel, Car. and National Tube.
All Of the local traction issues were
pronouncedly weak. but aside from con-
siderations regarding the operations Of
the franchise act there was nothing 20
account for their course and these con-
siderations are certainly lacking in ele-
ments OF novelty.
An easier money market and the days
returns Of railway traffic about comprised
the situation. The sterling exchange
market was firm and some preliminary
steps were taken looking to shipments Of
gold later in the week but Trustworthy

their estimates that the total exports Of
