Claim OF Capital Traction Comnau,
Under Consideration.

When the Tiber creek intersectinp sorar
was constructed across the Capitol grounds
and across street south, the tracks Of
the Capital Traction Company were dam
aged, depressed and disarranged for ouita
distance as result of the extensive ex-
caVations made. The company notified the
sewer contractor of the damage and he
was requested to make the necessary re
pairs, but delayed doing so. The com
pany was then authorized by the District
commissioners to make the repairs. The
work was done by Contractor Saxton and
bill amounting to s1.774.S7 was presented
TO the Commissioners as a charge against
the sewer contractor. A question arose he
tween all the parties concerned as TO cer-
tain items in the bill, notably a percentae e
of profit charged.
Much correspondence in regard to the
matter has been INDUCED in, and today the
District Commissioners granted a hearing
In order that the facts might be presented
in their proper light. At the hearing the
Capital Traction Company was represented
by Mr. r. Ross Perry, and Sewer Contrac-
tor Murphy by Mr.. NJ. ]. Colbert Both at
torneys discussed the matter at some
length Expressions were also heard from
Mr. b. E. McComb. the District superin-
tendent of sewers, and Mr.. J. T. Petty the
District auditor.
At the conclusion of the hearing Mr.,
mcfarland, president of the board an
ncunced that the Commissioners would take
the matter under advisement.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
LAUREL. Nd. May o. 1901.
While engaged in repairing the cage Of a
young gray wolf. at the kennels Of Weeks
& Turner, near this place, Frank Merson,
lad about twelve years of age. was
severely bitten on the right hand and fore
arm by the animal, Monday evening last
The boy got his arm in the cage in some
manner, and in struggling to free himself
attracted the attention of the wolf, which
sprang toward him and tore the flesh from
the palm and back Of the hand, and also
badly lacerated the muscles of the arm.
The animal is a late acquisition on the
place, and is to be used, it is stated. for
the purpose of training the wolf hounds on
the farm. Young Merson was brought here
and received medical attention, snd his
condition last night was very satisfactory
to the physician having the case in charge.
Ill health caused the resignation from the
waterNboard of Mr.. John w. Whiteside. and
a special meeting of the town council was
called for the purpose of acting on the
same and for appointing his successor. Mr..
George Earle was chosen to fill the place
caused by the withdrawal of Mr.. Whiteside.
At the meeting Of the board held last night,
at the residence of Mr.. Charles II. Stan
ley. Mr.. Earle participated.
1t was decided at the meeting TO procure
the water for the town from the lake en-
the Van Tyne property. The question of
definitely fixing the situation of the supply
dam has been before the board for a long
time, and was finally decided last night.
The engineer submitted plans for the dis
charge OF all surface water, and the means
to be adopted are to build a trench about
water, conveying them through q pipe to q
point several hundred yards from dams

''One would naturally Nave expected a

Railways Favorably Regarded.
AT Niuchwang such astonishing pro-
gress was shown previous to the disturb
ances that a rapid recovery may be looked
for. Tien Tsin may possibly be adversely
affected for some little time, but it is Just
as likely that the profits Of the military oc-
cupation and the wide distribution of
boarded wealth which has taken place will
lead to an early increase Of trade there
Personal experience is more persuasive than
advice, and the Chinese government will
probably be more disposed to regard with
favor the extension of railways since the
aruuOuS journey of the court to ISj-an to
which place supplies came very slowly and
suffered considerably in bulk on the road
FAMINE, too, has come under their imme-
date notice and the people were perishing
around them without hope of the relief
which railways could have brought What
ever changes may result from the events of
1900, whatever readjuStments may take
place in the share of the trade taken by
each country. it may be confidently EXPECT
ed that the foreign commerce Of China as
a whole. will continue the expansion which
was so marked in 1899.
In the United States it was believed that
the Boxer troubles would interfere with
the tea export, and the closing of the Tieu
Tsin route to Russian buyers threw guam
tity of common teas the market at low
prices. Spectators therefore bought large

been oVerStocked.
Disastrous to Silk.
The year was disastrous for the silk
trade. Anticipations of the consumption
which would result from the Paris exposi-
ton were not fully realized. and overpro-
duction in Europe and America caused a
weak demand and low prices. This was
the more disappointing because the crop
was good one. The competition of Japan
was severely felt. 1t is estimated that one
third of the production of the Chinese
steam filatures remains unsold. and there
seems no prospect of an immediate i'm
proYement in the market

IRRIGATION IN ARID REGIONS.

Western people believe that the trip of
the President and his cabinet across the
continent Will be Of great benefit to them
IN their future efforts to secure substantial
aid from Congress for the utilization of the
scanty waters of that section for irrigation
purposes The President was not unfamil-
lar with the gigantic arid region of the
western country before this trip, as he
had been to California on a brief trip years
ago. but he has seen more of the country
this time, more Of its needs and more of
the pluck of the people who here and there
make beautiful green spots out of the des-
ert. Cabinet members have likewise
learned much of value to them and of pos
sible value to the country they have Wis
tied.

Review Of Progress During the Past
Decade.
GROWTH At EXPENSE OF The BRITISH
Government Likely to Regard Rail
ways More avorabIy.
IMPERIAL OFFICERS VIEWS

The State Department has received,
through Mr.. Squiers, secretary Of legation
at Pekin, copy of the official report of
the commerce of China for the year 1900
prepared by imperial customs officers. Mr..
Squiers notes the progress of United States
commerce in China during the last ten
years, and says that the gain Is really
much larger than is indicated in the re-
port, inasmuch a large part of Arler-
can trade passes through Hong Kong and
is separately credited to that port.
The report contains the following gen
eral statement of Chinese commerce:
THE great expansion of China's foreign
trade. shown by the statistics for 1899, was
continued during the first half Of 1900, but
the disturbances in the north, which be-
came serious in June. not only stopped for
a time all trade at Niucawang and Tien
Tsin, which had shown such improvement
during the previous year. but naturally
had a depressing effect throughout the
ports. The idea that the Boxer movement
against the Christian converts could be
successfully employed in the deliyeraHce
of the country from foreign dictation ard
interference was accepted by only linn
tied party in Pekin and by certain official 5
in the northern provinces.
Saved From n General War.
Elsewhere, it was fortunately received
with skepticism which proved sufficient to
save China from a general war, and trade
went on as usual hampered only by n
want Of confidence engendered by the I'M
certainty of the political outlook. In the
south, rebellion which at one time looked
serious, was promptly suppressed by the
authorities. but caused some disturbance
to trade in the districts affected The
YangtZe valley was kept wonderfully tran
quill, and one or two abortive attempts
at instruction were Immediately uuelled
The power of the officials to preserve or
der has never been more strikingly mani
tested That trade was not more ruin
ously impeded, always excepting the actual
area of hostilities during year which
was SO exceptionally trying to merchants
and 50 full of unrest for the -populace
shows its vitality and how quickly it will
revive when peace is restored, We may
hope that the Chinese government under
the pressure of circumstances will now
awake to the necessity of developing the
resources of the country, and we shall
then see China becoming more wealthy I'M
der the stimulus of apparent miSfortunes.
The strength of the Chinese lies in their
industry and commercial aptitude and not
in their capacity for war. and the culti-
walton of friendly relations with foreign
powers Will serve them better than the
vain policy of exclusion and resistance to
progress
