ELECTRICAL WIRING.
Bill Introduced i'm the Senate nv Mr.
Mcmillan

Mr.. Mcmillan today introduced in the
Senate a bill to regulate electrical wiring
in the District of Columbia. The bill is a
modification of a bill introduced in the
House February 26, 1900 by Mr. Jenkins.
The Jenkins bill exempted employees Of
electric railway systems authorized by spe.
cial acts of Congress from the operation
of the proposed law, which exemption Is
stricken from the Senate measure No conn
pensation is allowed the secretary of the
electrical board, and a member of the
Washington Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects is placed or it
in place of one of the two electrical
contractors included in the House bill. A
new provision is inserted in the Senate bill
requiring a licensee to give a bond of $1,000
for the faithful performance Of all work in
compliance with the regulations of the Dis.
trict. The Commissioners, instead of the
electrical board, are to prescribe rules un-
der which apprentices and unskilled helpers
may be employed. The license fee is reduced
from $50 to 50 for an electrical contractor
and from 81 to 81 for an electrical wire-
man. The assistants of the inspector OF
electrical work well as the inspector
are empowered to inspect buildings in the
the Commissioners. Two instead of one adj
ditional inspectors, at $500, are to be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners. The act is
to go into effect March 1, 1901, instead Of
sixty days after its approval.

QUESTION OF TITLE.
Suit to Require Quit Claim in Real
Estate Matter.

Louis P. Shoemaker today, through At
torneys Tallmadge A. and Wilton j. Lam
bert, filed a bill in equity against Charles
A. Corey and Blanch Corey, asking the
court to declare valuable property interests
standing on record in the name of Charles
A. Corey to be held by the latter in trust
for the complainant.
The bill states that, following the custom
among brokers in real estate, he frequently
had conveyarces made to his clerk Corey,
in whom he has always had implicit con-
fidence. 1t is averred, prior to April, 1897,
title to several pieces of property mention
ed in the bill was vested in the defendant

Blanch c. Corey. 1t is charged that by
reason Of the marriage Mrs. Corey has in

valued at $4,000, and insisted she was en-.
titled to an inchoate dover interest in
same.
The court is asked to pass a decree de-
claring the defendant to hold as a trustee
and requiring both to convey or quit claim

The full effect of the German anti
meat law will not be felt very seri-
ously for about three years unless the
German government decides to arbi-
ttarily abrogate its treaties with
number of the European countries.
This can be done, of course, but the
more usual procedure is to terminate
them by agreement and this cannot
be accomplished in some cases for
unite. while. Consul Norman
writes from Munich to the State De-
partment, that Germany has a com
mercial treaty with Italy permitting
the entry of such goods, which can
not be abrogated, until the end of
1903, when the trade compact with
Austria Hungary. Belgium, Switzer-
land, Russia, Raumania, Servia and
Italy will terminate, The United
States can, of. course. send its
meats via one or another of these
countries.
