CONCERNING VACANT SEES.
Advices Expected Her,
Soon From Rome.


important advices from Rome are ex-
pected here soon concerning the vacant
sees of Columbus, Dubuque and Fort
Wayne, over the appointment of whose
bishops there is considerable friction. When
Bishop Watterson of Columbus died thir-
teen months ago it was generally supposed
by the priests of that jurisdiction that the
vacancy would be filled in a short time. but
on account of differences that have arisen
over the claims of Mgr. Thomas Thorpe of
Cleveland and DIR. Henry Moeller, secre-
tary of the Cincinnati archdiocese. to the
succession no appointment has yet been
made 1t is learned. however, that the au-
thorities in Rome favor the latter priest,
who received his theological training there
and Is still comparatively q young man.
Rev. DR.. Rocker of the papal legation in
reason of the antaeonism against his ap-
pointment from certain quarters he Is not
oyersanguine as to that candidates election.
Roth Archbishop Martinelli and Dr. Rocker
would not he surprised If compromise
candidate acceptable alike to the prelates
of the Cincinnati province and to the priests
of Columbus, was chosen at the forthcom-
ing consistory.
As regards the vacant archdiocese of Du-
hnn,,e whose last incumbent died three
months ago, similar disaffection exists,
which serves to retard his successors APP
pointment. The leading candidates embrace
Archbishop Keane of the Catholic Univer-
sity here, Bishop Cosgroye of Davenport.
Iowa a suffraRan prelate of Dubuque, and
Father Carroll of the same city.
II has long been tacitly understood among
the American hierarchy that the first va
cancy of this kind would be given to Arch
hisbon Keane. whose present title, arch
bishop of Damascus is only an honorary
distinction hut the German priests of Du-
buoue are opposed to his selection.

BRussELs-ANTwERP LINE.
Preparing to Establish n Wonderful
Electric Service,


According to a report made to the State
Department by Consul Roosevelt, at Brus

for the construction of an electric tram
service between Brussels and Antwerp,
distance of twenty-seven miles This line is
expected to be forerunner of others which
will supersede steam locomotion except for
line is to be established to allow the
trains to pass over an uninterrupted line
of rails, without risk of possible encounter
either from teams crossing the rails or from
trains The trains are to be supplied with
powerful brakes and, having no obstacles
to fear are expected to acquire a very
high rate of speed. The rate allowed by
law 100 kilometers (62 1856 miles, per hour,
Will permit trains to make the run between
Brussels and Antwerp, twenty-seven miles,
in twenty-five minutes. 1t is predicted that
the business of the proposed road will be
SO heavy 4aS to neceSsitate running the
trains every five minutes during the greater
part of the day. The tariff. which is govern
ed by law Is expected to be - per cent
less than existing railroad rates. The cost
of construction and equipment is estimated
at about S.2.pn1o.

Metal Staples in Meat.

Reporting to the Commissioners upon ehe
,,,h1aot DIR. VIM. c. Woodward, the Dis
.r,ct health officer, states that the use of
meta, STAPLES in meat to carry labels or
t.gs designating the weight of quarters of
beef. calves, sheep. hogs. etc. is unquestion-
ahly dangerous Their use, he thinks is not
necessary, and he believes that, while the
dealers promise to remove them, the only
way to protect the community Is TO forbid
their use by law. He, therefore, recon-
mesnds that the question as to whether the
commissioners are authorized to make such
a legal prohibition be referred to the attor-
new for the District.

William Pinkerton, colored, with whom
Budd had trouble, told the court that tho
latter threw the bottle at him.
Budd claimed that the bottle fell from
his pocket while he was engaged in the
trouble with the other colored man. Ho
claimed that his finger was bitten by Pine
kerton.
Judge Scott fined the prisoner $40 for
throwing the bottle on the street and IS for
disorderly conduct
Mr.. w. Calvin Chase, who represented tho
defendant stated to the court that the
two charges against the defendant grew out
of one transaction. One charge. he thought,
was all that was necessary to file against
the defendant. 1t is by just such cases
as this, he said. that the criminal record
of the city is made to appear unnecessarily
large. He regarded such a method of maxi

by it has been directly inimical to our in
terests and in favor Of outsiders. The
board, or those now in control Of 1t, may
have begun this fight honestly on principle,
but / have no hesitation IN saying that
the later moves have looked very much
like cold-blooded conspiracy to ruin us. /"
This statement embodies the views Of
the local companies generally. They say
that the cut in rates proposed by the as
ISOLATION is not demanded by the owners
OF property; that it will put no more mon
ey into the pockets of the outside COM
panies, and that 1t will ruin the local
companies if it is adhered to. No one
could gain by the cut, and the local COM
panies would lose the one class of bust
ness on which they Row make a little
profit. This. they say. shows simply mall
ice on the part Of the outsiders and a de-
sire to get entire control Of the local in
surance business into their hands.
1t is suggested that compromise might
be effected at this stage Of the fight, on
account Of the general realization OF what
it will cost, II the right man with plan
fairly satisfactory to all parties should
come forward. 1t is evident that such a
plan must include as its first step the
adjustment Of all forms OF relief. The
abuses Of the relief heretofore allowed
In the association are generally acknowl-
edged to have been the cause Of more trou-
bic and more breaking Of rules than any
other one matter.
The Northwestern Company has been an
outlaw company from the beginning. never
having belonged to the board. The RE-
lief'' rule has been that any member Of
the association might cut rates to secure
business from the Northwestern 81 apply
ing formally to the board for Permission.
This rule, it is said, has been violated con-
stantly. Agencies, and companies also,
have cut rates when the Northwestern was
not in the field. This has resulted In a
condition Of things little better than the
entire absence Of a board.
The relief system being out Of the way,
It is suggested that board might be re-
organized, and the other differences set
tied inside the organizations instead Of
by fighting. One proposition is that the
question of multiple agencies" might be
compromised by all the companies agree
ing not to employ any new agents, and
gradually reducing the present NUMBER to
three as they saw ft. As to the cut IN
rates or preferred risks, It is believed by
many that many OF the outside companies
would be willing to give this up. as they
cannot possibly gain anything by 1t.

TIE OFFICER WANTED.
Services of Private Wilson Required
ut House OF Detention.

Services of Private Wilson Required
ut House of Detention.
J. B. T. Upper, Chairman of the Com
mittee of Admission of the Industrial
Home, has written to the Commissioners
in complimentary terms Of Policeman Will
son, and asked tia. he might be allowed
to continue to work in connection with the
home.
Mr.. Upper explains to the Commission
ers that the officer in question has been
assisting the committee in making inves-
LEGATIONS in cases Of application for aduis-
sion to the home. Mr.. Upper says his
mittee, and his recommendations as to
proper subjects for admission to the in
stitution have great weight with the COM
mittee, owing to his being familiar with
the work Of the home. Mr.. Upper thinks
the detail to the home should occupy but
small part Of his time. as only three or
four cases would be referred to him In Q
month.
In reporting upon the request to the
Commissioners, Richard Sylvester. the SUI
perintendent Of Police, says: "At my sus-
gestion the Commissioners have informed
the Humane Society, with which Private
Wilson has been doing some work, that
his services are necessary to the Police
Department, in connection with the House
of Detention, soon to be opened in accord
ance with the act Of Congress. Therefore,
1t would be impossible to comply with this
request"
The Commissioners have approved the
Recommendation Of the Superintendent. and
an order will be issued that Mr.. Upper
be informed in accordance with the same.

WANT CARS TO STOP.
A Petrtio. From Resident. of Capt.
toll Hill.

A Petition FROM HeS1dentH OF Cap1s
toll Hill.
A petition signed by H. C. Sholes and
seventy other residents of Capitol Hill was
recently handed to the Commissioners re-
questing them to cause the cars Of the
Metropolitan Street Railroad Company to
stop at First Street northeast between
Maryland Avenue and A Street.
The petition states that the northeast
corner Of Maryland Avenue and the south
east corner OF Al Street are several hum
dred feet apart, and often the cars are
run some distance beyond these corners
going east and west causing great incon-
venience, longs walk and especially in
stormy weather working a double hard
ship.
G. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer. in
reporting upon the matter to the Com
missioners, says, that he cannot recon-
mend that the request be granted, as the
roadway Of Maryland Avenue and the
driveway entrance TO- the Capitol grounds
constitute line Of vehicle travel which
should be regarded sas a street, and 1t is
not shown thatn the circumstances are
sufficient to constitute an exception to the
usual.rule fer stopping on the far side.
It Is understood that the Commissioners
will inform the petitioners in accordance
with the RECOMMENDATION Of the COMPUTE
Ing Engineer.
