upon the Awnrds.
Warner Stutler the Superintendent of
Street Cleaning has transmitted to the
Commissioners schedule OF the bids for
cleaning the streets and alleys, and for
the removal of ashes opened at the Dis
trict Building on May 10.
After calculating and comparing the
cost under the different plans submitted
in the proposals, Mr.. Stutler recommends
the awarding of contracts as follows:
That the contract for machine cleaning
be awarded to Lilly e Robinson, of In
dianapols, Ind. for three years at the rate
of IS cents for LOGO square yards the
approximate area being 1870 900, 900 square
yards per annum.

amendment to the District Appropriation
bill for the collection and disposal of gar
bage ashes etc, is settled
Mr.. Stutler explains to the Commission

recommendations OF Mr.. Stutler and the
contracts will be awarded accordingly.

SCHOOLS AND BOULEVARD.
Subjects Discussed by the Northeast
Citizens' Association.

Subjects Discussed by the Northeast
Citizens Association.
The Northeast Washington Citizens As
sociation met last night at Northeast
Temple, with Evan H. Tucker the Presi-
dent. In the chair. A wide range of topics
were discussed, chief among which were
the public schools and the proposed ave-
nue. through the Mall.
President Tucker. reporting for the COM
mittee on proposed legislation, spoke of
the report OF the Baltimore and Ohio via
duct bill to the Senate. stating that the
committee Of the Senate had adopted the
amendments which the association had
suggested and that there was reason for
qualification at the manner in which the
representatives of the association had
been received at the Capitol. 1t was ex-
planned that the association committee
had worked with the committee from the
lexington association to induce Congress
to run the tracks farther east and move
the ''Y'' farther north. But Mr.. Tucker
stated that they had been convinced that
the route and plans proposed in the bill
were the most practicable and had given
up in favor of the present plan.
In discussing the school question. the
fact developed that the Northeast section
had fiftytwo halliday schools, more than
had been neglected, was the plea OF more
than one speaker, and the reason of it
was attributed to not having a representa-
tive on the school board. Accordingly on
motion of B. l.. Edwards. 1t was decided
that the committee on education should
be instructed to call on the Commissioners
and urge the appointment Of member of
the new school board from Northeast
Washington.
The subject of the proposed avenue
through the Mall to connect the Capitol
with Memorial Bridge ELECTED long ais
cussion. 1t was called forth by the fol-
lowing resolution presented by W. G.
Long:
Resolved, That this association is un-
alterably opposed to the desecraton of
the Mall by converting large portion of
its area into an avenue and that the Com
mittee on Proposed Legislation is hereby
directed to oppose any legislation pro-
vidng for the construction OF an avenue
running east and west through the Mall"
In the discussion Of the question it was
shown that there were plenty of ap-
proaches to Memorial Bridge without the
desecration of the Mall, and that II would
be wrong to occupy so large a portion of
the only large reservation downtown for
the purpose indicated. The avenue, how
ever. had its champions. and these nobly
defended the proposition that the pro-
posed improvement would be of great
benefit to the Capital City. But after
long argument the resolution was put to
vote and carried by a majority OF one
The meeting then adjourned to the
second Monday evening in December.

LICENSES OF PHARMACISTS.
Bill Authorizing the Examination OF
Homeopathic Applicants.

The fact was discovered some months
ago that there was no legal way TO license
homeopathic pharmacists in the District
of Columbia under existing laws. though
they had made the required deposit and
were willing to submit to examination
therefor.
To obviate the omission in the license
laws of the District Commissioner Wight
suggested the introduction of bill in Con-
gress the passage Of which should give the
Commissioners the authority to license
homeopathic pharmacists as well as tho e
of the allopathic school. Following up the
suggestion of Mr.. Wight a bill was pre-
pared. introduced in the Senate. and re-
ferred to the Commissioners for considera-
ton and report. The Attorney for the Dis
trict in submitting an opinion on the bill
declared it to be in proper form and ad-
vised its passage.
DR.. William C. Woodward. the Health
Officer. in reporting his views on the sub
tect, said that SO far as he knew the C3m-
missioners of Pharmacy of the District, as
at present organized. are not prepared to
examine applicants for registration as
homeopathic pharmacists in accordance
with the tenets of homeopathy, nor does
the training of homeopathic pharmacists
qualify them to pass examinations such as
are given to druggists generally.
In accordance with these facts DIR. Wo- d.
ward recommended to the Commissioners
that the ILL be sent to the Senate Commit
tee on tne District of Columbia with a
favorable report. DR.. Woodward, how
ever. further suggested that the bill be re-
ferred to the Com nissioners of Pharmacy
of the District for an expression IL opinion
before final action should be taken.
The Commissioners Of Pharmacy. after
offering a few verbal amendments. calcu-
lated to improve the wording Of the meas
ure. recommended that its massage be
sought by the Commissioners Of the Dis
trict.
Commissioner Macfarland has advised
his associates that favorable report on
the bill be sent to the Senate Committee
on the District Of Columbia and its passag >
requested. view of the measure in which
1t is expected his associates will concur.

A PuG1L1sT1c REVIVAL.
The JcGries-Corbett Fight Causes n
Renewed interest

Renewed Interest
NEW YORK. May 14.-There is chance
for several important heavy weight fights
to be arranged in the near future. Cham
pion Jeffries has announced through his
manager, William A. Brady. that he will
take on Corbett. Sharkey, Fitzsimmons.
Mccoy, Rubin. and Maher. first come first
served. Jeffries says he will fight Corbett
again a week from next Monday before
any club and bet him $4,000 to s., 900 that
he can duplicate the trick of last Friday
night.
The champion also declares that IL Fitz-
simmons defeats Rubin he will make a
match with the Cornishman on the same
terms exacted by Fitzsimmons when he
met the champion-65 per cent of the
purse to Jeffries, win or lose. Fitzsim-
mons. on the other hand. says he will fight
Jeffries, winner take all.
The rejuvenation of Corbett has caused
all sorts of propositions. Not fifteen min
utes after Jeffries had been declared win
ner last Friday night, the suggestion was
made that twenty-f1ve-round fight be-
tween Corbett and Kid Mccoy would
prove an attraction. Mccoy has a match
on hand with Tom Sharkey, which will
prevent a battle with Corbett for some
time 20 come.
Jeffries has agreed to take Corbett on
again in the near future, but II such a
meeting should be an impossbiiity, then
the sports would like TO see Corbett tackle
his old and bitter rival, Bob Fitzsimmons.
provided. OF course. the latter disposss of
Gus Rubin next month. A meeting be-
tween Corbett and FitZsimmoDs this sum-
mer would be of particular interest under
existing conditions. In his present form
Corbett. the experts say. would not be any
easy mark for Fitzsimmons. who is not con-
sidered to be the pugilist he was when he
won out at Carson.
There is still another fight mapped out
for Corbett-a mix-up with Tom Sharkey.
When they met at the Lenox Athletic Club
more than year ago Corbett was away out
of form, and was whipped when his second
Jumped into the ring in the ninth round.
But as he is today, Corbett might be better
able to take care OF himself In front of the
aggressive sailor. 1t Is argued th;st IL 1t

Corbett it might take Sharkey longer, and
possibly Jim might be able to stay the lim-
it, in which event he would run an excel
lent chance of securing a victory on points.

Special to the Register
CUMBERLAND, Nd, April o.
There will be a meeting of the miners
here tomorrow in reference to the
five cents differential. They issued a
letter to the operators asking them to
meet in Joint conference, but so far
the latter have failed to reply and
there is no hope that conference be-
tween the two will take place. The
United Mine Workers declare that I'M
less they are recognized by the ope-
rators, a general strike will be order
ed at midnight tomorrow.
A committee of citizens and miners
have been trying since yesterday to
arrange a meeting with President
Lord, of the Consolidation Company,
whose men, 1000, struck midnight Sat-
urday, because Superintendent Ran
dolph discharged 100 men for attend
ing a miners mass meeting. Lord
wired the committees tonight from
Baltimore that they could see him in
that city. There is little hope that
he will reinstate the men, as Randolph
says that in discharging the men ne
acted under Lords orders. Randolph,
however, gets all the blame and the
feelin against him is so great that his
home has been guarded since Satur-
day night by about fifteen.
There are 5000 miners in this re-
gion, and while every effort is being
made to avert general strike there
is little hope that it can be brought
about. The surrounding territory of
Maryland, West Virginia and Penn
sylvania is depending on the mining
regions and the excitement over the
matter Is great.
