Possible New Market for Coal.

The press and public of Sweden are
gradually turning their faces to the United
States and their backs to England for their
coal supply, according to a report received
at the State Department from United
States Consul Bergh at Gothenburg. The
Swedes, ne says, are not at all pleased
with the English export duty on coal, which
amounts to an extra expenditure of over
$4,000 annually upon the 3,250,0O0 tons of
coal which Sweden imports each year. If
the United States will but take advantage
of the present favorable sentiment, says
the consul. a permanent coal market in
Sweden may be established. The only diff
Guilty in the way would be the high cost of
transportation, and it would be most nee
essary to reduce the freight rates. A di-
rect steamship line between Gothenburg
and the United States says Consul Bergh
would be beneficial for American exports
nerally.

CENSUS OFFICE CLERKS COMPLAIN
Much 1ncOnvenfenced, They Say, by
the New Method of Payment.

Much IncOnvenfenced, They Say, by
the New Method of Payment.
An order has been promulgated by Ed
ward McCauley, chief clerk of the census
office, that hereafter payment of salaries
to employees Of the census shall be made
by the disbursing clerk a the close of office
hours. The order which was prepared by
Mr.. McCauley after conference with Di-
rector Merriam, provides that the office Of
the disbursing clerk shall be open for the
payment Of the salaries of census employees
from o'clock till I pm. on the 18th and
last days of each month. This order, which
is an innovation, and, it is said, without a
precedent in the government service in
Washington, has created intense though
suppressed, indignation among employees of
the census office.
Mr.. McCauley. in explaining the reason
for the action, said great inconvenience Is
caused by making payments during office
hours. Little clerical work, he said, is done
on pay days. He said the only person to
whom observance of the order would be a
hardship is Mr.. H. A. Barrows, disbursing
clerk.
The clerks make serious complaint against
the order. 1t is a hardship, they say. to
those who live in the country and have
to catch suburban trains. 1t also interferes
with their meal hours. One of the clerks,
In speaking with a reporter for The Star
today, said:
You will note that Mr.. McCauley says
that the only one Inconvenience will be
the disbursing clerk. We have in the office
widow who prepares her own and her
childrens dinner after a walk of two miles
from the office. There is also a young wo-
man who hastens home to help an invalid
mother. The clerks who take suburban
trains to reach their homes and the many
whose landladies have fixed dinner hour
of o'clock will suffer inconvenience. a
thousand clerks have nothing to do after
o'clock but to stand in line from 4 till Z to
receive their pay? If they cannot wait their
turn on Saturday next they may go on
Monday after o'clock, not sooner, and be
paid
Mr.. McCauley says that each pay day is
practically a day lost. / have worked in
the office for ten months and l do not hesi-
tate to say that my time cards for every
pay day since last October will show prac-
tically the same record of work those of
all the other days, and many others win
doubtless show the same record.
IF this rule is adhered to our pay days
will be from am. to g. E or Z pm. 1t is
unjust"

Point Not Yet Settled.
Whether or not the names of the streets
north of the boundary, as they now exist,
will be changed to conform to the names
given the new thoroughfares under the
system outlined is one Of the points which
has not been settled, although such
change has been suggested as much
needed reform. There is at present much
CONFUSION In the names, for instance. of
streets on Columbia Heights and vicinity
and In other northern sections What Is
to all 1ntents and purposes one continuous
street, In one instance, has six names, it
Is stated, within a distance of about twelve
blocks. The thoroughfare in question is
known as Cincinnati and Erie streets. Eu-
Cid place, Roanoke street, Irving street
and Detroit street. 1t is further cited that
Lowell street, Park street and Whitney
avenue are names given to the same thor
oughfare at different sections The same
Is true of kenesaw avenue, Wallach place
and Mcclellan street These conditions of
nomenclature are very confusing and 1t is
argued that the new system of names
should apply through this established sec
tion as well as in the designation of en-
tirely new thoroughfares, which latter are
In fact but extensions of existing highways
The matter is one of exceptional interest,
and the Commissioners will probably give
much time to it.

Thousands of situations have been OBJ

Evening star., 1901-06-13

In the nomenclature plan under consider
alton it is proposed that the small streets
or places which intervene between the reg
ularly scheduled through streets shall be
named with regard to the letter of the al
phahet which begins the name of the pre-
ceding street. Such a plan has already been
applied in certain sections Of the District
notably in lexington where, following @
street, comes Quincy street; following r
street is Randolph street, and following
street is Seaton street.
In regard to the avenues, which will be
included in the highway extensions, it may
be stated that great many of those to be
opened up will be extensions of avenues al
ready named, and these names will be ad-
hered to. 1t is Captain Beachs idea, in
naming the avenues in the several sections
to follow plan which will give names of
northwestern states to northwestern ave-
nues and southeastern states names to
avenues in the southeast. In the northeast
there will have to be a slight deviation
from this rule, because OF the fact that the
names of practically all of the northeast
ern states have been already employed In
that section, however, many of the names
will be appropriate. for such avenues as
New York, Rhode island and Maryland will
be extended there Montana avenue will
be found in the northeast, and is one OF the
exceptions to the rule. Michigan avenue
will be found both In the northeast and the
northwest, while the same may be said Of
Dakota avenue. t.lt
In the northwest section, including some
OF the avenues already to be found there
will be Wyoming avenue, Oregon avenue
Alaska avenue, Wisconsin avenue, Idaho
avenue, Nebraska avenue, Nevada avenue
Utah avenue, Kansas avenue Arkansas
avenue and Colorado avenue. In the south
eastern section there will be Alabama ave
nue., Florida avenue extended, Mississippi
avenue and Texas avenue. Minnesota ave-
nue. already extends into the southeast and
no change will be made in it's designation.
In the highway extension plans are to be
found many winding thoroughfares, there
course being deviated from place to place
on account of Typographical conditions
These thoroughfares will be designated as
roads and their names will be taken
from some geographical or historic fea-
ture along their route. No plans have
been made for the streets in the extreme
southeast. The lettered streets will extend
to just north of the St. Elizabeth grounds.
1t is in contemplation that the streets in
this section. south of the lettered thorough
fares, shall be given some local names.
