NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Subscribers Must Use Prefixes When
Calling Numbers.

The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company is having troubles of its own. 1t
appears that following the method adopted
in other large cities it has divided the city
into exchange districts. 1t has opened one
new exchange on Capitol Hill, transferring
thereto the lines of all subscribers east of
7th street. and is about to open another in
Georgetown
This, 1t is said, because of the duplication
OF numbers, necessitates the prefixing of
the word Main and East to the num-
bers connected with the present exchanges,
and will require the addition of the word
West to the Georgetown exchange num-
bers.
Telephone users not accustomed to
the of prefixes in calling for numbers
and some confusion has resulted, which has
been helped along by the uufamiliarity OF
the operators with the working of the re-
Gently established trunking system between
the two exchanges.

company says. however, that these difficult
ties will disappear and that the operating

users will take the precaution. when call

Il BRAKEMAN KILLED.
James DOoley Fatally Injured in Belle
Dock Freight Yard.

James Dooley a brakeman on a
freight train on the Air Line division,
died at the New Haven hospital about
s o'clock yesterday afternoon as the re-
suit of injuries which he received a
short time before in the Belle dock
freight yard. Dooley's train had just
pulled into the yard and he was about
to board the engine of a transfer train
to ride out Of the yard when the acci-
dent occurred. He attempted to jump
on the locomotive, and to do so made a
juHlp for the step at the cab. AS he
jumped he slipped and fell. He was
struck by the step and knocked down.
1t was at once seen by the trainmen
that he was badly hurt and the police
was summoned. In it he
was taken to the New Haven hospital,
where it was found that his back was
broken, his right arm broken, his head
badly bruised and that he was suffering
from internal injuries. He died soon
after being removed to the hospital.

P4N-AMERICAN CONGRESS-.
Government OF Mexico Accepts and tho
Project seems Assured.

Washington, March 22.-The state de-
partment has been notified by the gov
ernment of Mexico that it accepts the
presidents invitation to hold a second
Pan-American congress and will in turn
invite the republics of North, South and
Central America to send their represen-
tatives in such congress to the City of
Mexico. Thus it is believed the success
of the movement is assured. The state
department had already been notified of
the willingness of Venezuela and Guate-
mala to join in the congress and now
that Mexico has entered so earnestly
into the project it is believed that all
the republics of the three Americas will
send delegates to the congress.
The president attaches great impor-
tance to the successful working out of
this project, the main object of which
is to bring into closer touch the Ameri
can republics and to cultivate an in
timacy not only in commercial ex-
changes but in political relations. The
state department has noted with much
concern the malevolent efforts of GER
tain interests to incite deep-seated jea-
ousy of the United States among the
Latin-American republics. 1t is known
that some of these efforts originated
with European residents in South and
Central America, who were desirous of
crppling the trade of the United States
with that section. They also informed
these people that the United States had
sinister designs upon their political in
dependence
The astonishing fact is that these eff
forts actually obtained a considerable
measure of success. The figures now in
the possession of the officials here show
that, contrary to the common belief, the
export trade of the United States with
our southern neighbors has decreased
enormously, the loss being stated at no
less than $100 000,0 900 within the last de-
cade. Ordinary commercial factors are
said to be insufficient to explain this
loss, which Is therefore attributed to
political elements.
1t is confidently believed by the pro-
jectors of this congress that, as one of
it's results, much of this lost trade can
be recovered by eradicating the un-
founded suspicious entertained by some
of the South American republics. 1t is
said that Mexico and Brazil have done
excellent work in behalf of the United
States in diseipating the false ideas en-
tertained by some of the other republics
on this point, and it is we'll known that
Mexico completely eXtinguished a half
developed project which contemplated a
league of South American republics in
imical to the United States. The date
to be selected for the convention of the |
Pan-American congress probably will be |
some time next winter.

PUERro Rroo DISCUSSION.
Bill la the sennte-A
Vote Next Week.

Washington, March 22,--Almost the
entire session Of the senate to-day was
spent in the discussion of the conference
report on the Puerto Rican appropria-
tion bill. The democratic senators man
ifested a disposition to criticise the re-
storation Of the house provision cover
ing future collections of revenue, pro-
Tossing to find in this action a desire to
continue the Dingley tariff. Speeches
We're made on these lines by Meesrs
Bacon, Cockrell, Jones of Arkansas,
Berry and Allen. The republicans met
the taunt with a proposition to take
vote Immediately on the Puerto Rican
tariff bill, and it looked at one time as if
the unanimous consent would be secured
for vote on the tariff measure. Sem
ator Proctor objected. however, on be-
half of the republican free traders, aud
when he indicated willingness to agree
to a vote next week Senator Pettus put
an end to the proceedings by calling for
the regular order of business.

FIGHTING NEAR WIRRENTON.


Kimberley, Thursday, March o.
There was smart artillery duel near
Warrenton yesterday morning. A bat
terry under Major Blowitt, supported by
the Kimberley Light Horse, located the
Beers, who employed four guns, two of
which used cordite, but ineffectively.
The British battery replied with effect
and silenced the Boer fire. The Beers
sent two shells near the railway station
which was not damaged. A scouting
party got too close to the bank of the
river and encountered hot fire. The
men were unable to get away and it
was impossible to relieve them without
loss, the party being obliged to wait for
darkness in order to escape. The recon-
naiesance succeeded and Major Blowitt
retired with only one wounded.
This morning brisk firing was resum-
ed at Warrenton about half-past six;
but it has now Stacked up, A detach-
ment Of Fusiliers has arrived. Two
Vryburg inhabitants, who had been inn
prisoned by the Beers, were sent in to
Warrenton under white flag after be-
ing taken from laager to laager around
the district. They say that the big gun
from Kimberley has been taken through
Chrstiania to Pretoria. There are wo-
men and children in nearly every laager.
Trains now run within eight miles of
Warrenton.

THE FINdNCE BOARD Acts.


The payroll of the fire department,
with increases according to the COM
| mon councils schedule, which the fire
! commissioners have just seen fit to
adopt, was before the board of finance
last night and received just the consid-
Grafton that it was expected to receive.
The finance people tabled the payroll
pending the receipt of legal opinion
as to the legality of paying the bills
But in order that the firemen might
suffer no inconvenience from having
their salaries held up, Controller Rowe
yesterday afternoon requested the clerk
of the fire department to send in for
approval by the finance board pay
roll made up on the basis of salaries
which have been paid. The request
was not complied with, however, and as
a consequence the firemen will be oblig-
ed to go without their pay until the
legal question is settled unless some
action is taken in the meantime which
will permit them to receive some pay.
The board of finance passed the fol-
lowing resolution in regard to the sala-
ry matter: In view of the fact that the
corporation counsel, before his appoint
ment to the office served as counsel for
certain members of the fire department
in their attempt TO secure increases of
salaries. and in view of his wish that
he be therefore not called upon to rem
der decision in regard to the bills
for increase of pay now before this
board for action, it is hereby voted that
the bills for increase of pay of mem
bers of the fire department be referred
to the assistant corporation counsel for
an opinion as to the validity of the
same. and as to the legality of the in
crease of pay as voted by the court of
common council.
City Clerk Henry G. Norris stated last
night that Immediately after the adop-
tion of the schedule for firemen's sala-
nv by the common council he transmit
ted to the clerk Of the board of fire
commissioners a copy of the order. The
clerk of the fire board has since stated
that he referred the notification to the
commissioners 1t is therefore evident
that the matter did come officially to
the notice of the fire board before the
passage recently by the common coun-
ell of the resolution calling for an eX-
planation from the fire commissioners
as to why the order had not been acted
upon. Mr. Norris will call for an in
yestigation of the matter by the COM
mon council in order to place the
blame, if there is any, where it proper
ly belongs.

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
Evidence of improvement bUt the In
surgemts Are Very Active.

San Francisco, March 22.-The steam
er Hong Kong Maru brings from Hong
Kong news of surprising state of at
fairs existing in the Philippines. The
correspondent of a Hong Kong paper
sends the following uncensored letter to
his journal:
Manila, Feb. 13.-It is a strange state
of affairs that exists in the Philippines
to-day. Improvement is visible in near
ly every quarter. Civil governments are
rapidly being established in every town
of Importance, and garrisons and pa
trols are in process of extension wher-
ever Americans hold territory, and yet
it is an undeniable fact that since Jan
uary l the insurgent forces have cap
tured a number of rifles and quantities
of ammunition from the Americans al
most equaliing the sum total of those
captured from the insurgents Besides
this, the casualty rate for the last two
weeks will como very close to being
heavier than at any other period of the.
insurrection, with the exception of the
time of the outbreak and the fortnight
beginning with March 25, 1899.
THE threatened guerilla warfare
seems to be a reality, and par
ties of fifty or smaller numbers are am
bushed and jumped day after day.
Supply trains small escorts and scout
ing parties are the special objects of
attack and the country is said to be full
of small rowing bands waiting at every
convenient cover until the prey is
caught. In one or two instances heavy
patrols or strong scouting parties have
quickly avenged these raids by setting
out Immediately and hunting down and
killing as many of the marauders as
possible. These lessons have not been
forgotten and in the immediate districts
there have been no repetiti0ns of the
trouble. The authorities are giving the
question considerable attention and
every effort will be made to insure the
public safety, for on this depends the
future Of the country"
