TO BE ADDED TO THE zoo.
Animals to Be Sent From the Yellow
stone Park.

Animals to Be Sent From the Yellow
stone Park.
Arrangements have just been completed
whereby an acquisition Is to be made to
the animals in the National Geological Park
In this city Of four elk, four antelope, ten
deer and two brown bears. These animals
will be sent from Yellowstone National
Park. where they have been recently cap
tured.
Captain John Pitcher of the 1st Cavalry,
who is acting superintendent of Yellow
stone Park. made the proffer of the animals
to the Smithsonian Institution, through the
Secretary of the Interior, in a communica-
ton dated the 18th instant In his descrip-
tion of them he says the elk and deer are
all quite young. Six OF thel deer are full
grown, while four were born In captivity
last spring. The two bears are cubs. Cap
tain Pitcher says he understands 1t Is the
custom to keep all animals captured in the
park until the close Of the tourist season,
and then send them to sBome place where a
collection of animals ID being made.
In accepting the proffer of the animals,
Mr.: r. Rathburn. acting secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution, says that all of
the animals would be of value to the Zoo
here, and that the antelope and bears are
especially desired. In conclusion Mr.. Rath-
burn assures the Interior Department that
the Smithsonian Institution heartily appre-
ctates its efforts in complying with the pro-
vision OF Congress that the heads of all
departments shall render all practicable aid
in making collections for the National
Geological Park. Many aninbals Of much
interest and value have thus been added to
the collection. Z. 9r

OPPOSE GUT POLE.
Cttizens Object to Erection of One at
S1st and Streets.

w. T. Powell of 1899 31st street north
west, and George W. King, residing at
1892 31st street. have protested to the Dis
trict Commissioners against the erection
OF guy pole at the southeast corner of
S1st and U streets northwest. Mr.. King de-
clared there was not one legitimate reason
why the pole should be erected, while
there were many reasons why 1t should
not be- Continuing. Mr.. King says:
While I am perfectly aware that this
letter will be referred to a subordinate who
is not in touch with the taxpayers and
VINO does not for moment consider their
rights and his report be accepted by your
board, 1 write this protest and retain let
ter-press copy, so that when this matter
comes before the congressional committee
your board may be estopped from pleading
that no formal protests against the erec-
tion OF these poles were received"
Mr.. Powell writes:
THE right to erect any additional poles
has not been granted as l understand it;
only to replace the old poles with the
new. This is an additional pole and there
fore unlawfully installed. 1t was only a
short time ago that a great stir was made
and much promised relative to placing all
wires underground. That fact is not lost
sight of by the public, though II may he
purposely kept in the background by inter
ested parties. i believe that no company
whatsoever has any right to erect poles In
the consent of the residents thereof The
people have prior right to the sidewalks
at least. The pole in question, to say the
least, will certainly be unsightly and un-
lawful, as before stated"
The Commissioners have approved re-
port from the electrical engineer upon the
matter, which says:
The guy pole erected at the corner of
31st and U streets northwest is necessary
in order to maintain the main line of poles
on the opposite side of L street at point
where the line makes a considerable angle.
This department has seven wires now on
these poles, which would he in an unsafe
condition If the guy pole were taken down.
Upon the completion of other pole work in
Georgetown we will string two or three
other wires along this same line, which will
render the necessity for the guy pole all
the more urgent. / would recommend that
the compfafnants be informed that this pole
is absolutely necessary for the maintenance
of the pole line mentioned above and can
not be removed. 1t in no way interferes
with their premises"

would be taken for a public highway un-

The Views of a Manager of nm East
India Line.


American locomotives continue popular
on the railways Of India, where they are
in competition with English engines. Colo
mel Constable. the manager of one Of the
great railway lines of India, recently visit
ed the United States to study the railway
system, and the treasury bureau of sta
tfstics has just received a summarization of
his report submitted to the Indian govern
ment, and, through it, laid before the
British board Of trade.
Colonel Constable states in his memo
randum that no doubt "the American en-
gine burns more fuel and wears out sooner
than the English locomotive and the for
mer is unquestionably a dirty-looking ma
chine, but Americans de not expect their
engines to last more than fifteen years, by
which time they are ready to put them on
the scrap heap and adopt a different design
and a more efficient article, and 1t must be
remembered that coal is exceedingly cheap
in America"
Colonel Constable also states that their
great hauling capacity makes up for any
defects in their details, and that in his
opinion weak and out-of-date engines are
not discarded often enough in India
The memorandum continues follows:
1.-The first duty of an engine is either to
run fast or to pull big load, and l would
sooner have dirty-looking engine that
would haul 8 500 tons than beauty to look
at that could only haul 800 or 700 TONS as
in England, or 1,200 tons, as in India. The
cost of coal is only one factor in the cost
of carrying a unit. and the East India
railway would be better If with its cheap
coal it's engines hauled American loads,
even If its coal consumption per engine
mile were doubled and it's engine had to be
scrapped at the end Of fifteen years"
Colonel Constable concludes by saying
that as matter of practice, American lines
like to run an engine for all it is worth
provided traffic is offering, just allowing
sufficient time for cleaning and repairs,
and that some engines on the Pennsylvania

keeping remarkably good time.
