WANT THEIR SHARE.
East End snbarbanites Appeal for
Impreyemept.

Il
When President VIM Fl. Ernest Of the
East End Suburban Citizens Association
called the meeting to order last night
shortly after o'clock, at Hollands Hall,
it was evident to the casual observer that
every member present meant business, and
also meant to stick together until their
section was recognized in a substantial way
by the Commissioners
The principal interest centered around the
report of the executive committee. a synop-
sis of which appeared in last nights Star.
The chairman of the committee. Mr.. Ernest,
addressed the meeting and urged the MEM
bership to stand as unit in favor of Sc
curing substantial recognition. The report
of the committee was accepted
Mr.. Chas. r. Talbert. chairman Of the
committee on police. fire and lights, spoke
of the dangerous condition of Mount Olivet
road from Bladensburg road to 18th street
northeast owing to the absence Of lights
and the immense travel over 1t, now that
Biadensburg road Is closed for repairs. He
thought at least twenty naphtha lamps
should be erected along the road in aues-
tfon. and on motion OF DIR. Walter mis- COM
mfttee was instructed to make demand
FOR the same. He also urged that officers
from the ninth precinct use their utmost
endeavor to maintain order among the
crowds coming in nightly from the juno
ton.
The committee on lights was instructed to
ptcpdfe d SCneQule OF streets IN the SecllOn
that should be provided with electric lights
and file the same with the Commissioners.
The secretary read from the last annual
report of President c. c. Lancaster a state
ment showing an appropriation of s.. 400 for
electric lights in the northwest section, and
1t was decided to have the northeast SUBJ
urbs lighted in the same manner
The question of indorsing the application
or the butterine factory at Langdon for a
permit to extend a water main along Bla-
densburg road from Mt. Olivet cemetery to
that point was brought up by Mr.. Chas. r.
Ialbert, but it was stated by Mr.. Samuel r.
Coombs that the company had abundant
water from two artesian wells, and he
thought they had abandoned the project of
getting Potomac water; hence the matter
was dropped.
In Its report the executive committee rec
commended the establishment Of a park at
the intersection of the Benning and Rla-
densburg roads, and this brought on a heat
ed discussion. participated in by Messrs
wilt. Raymond, Clark, Talbert, Holland
Coombs and others. the result being that IL
was decided to abandon the idea of asking
Tor a small park, and in lieu thereof to ask
that the entire property of the Graceland
cemetery Association-thirty acres-be pur-
chased by the government for park pur-
poses. and that Maryland avenue be ex-
tended through it's entire length so as to
provide for an uninterrupted highway to
all the property beyond the cemetery tract
Ihe executive committee was instructed to
go over the subject thoroughly and amend
Its demands accordingly.
On motion of Mr.. A. NJ. Raymond con-
Slderatlon of the constitution was post
poned Tor two weeks. at which time the
association will hold it's next meeting

DOOM OF THE TROLL EY.
An Opening for Damage Suits on
Account of Electrolysis.

CHICAGO May 90.-The doom of the
single overhead trolley system in the
United States was apparently foreshad-
owed by Special Master in Chancery
Frank L. Wean, when he filed his report
in the noted Peoria Electrolysis" case,
with the clerk of the United States Cir
cult Court
Should Judge Grosscup approve the
findings of the master iii final hearing,
the street railway companies of Peoria
directly and all traction lines operating
the single trolley system indirectly, will
be compelled to substitute a double wire,
giving a return circuit without using the
earth as a medium.
Master Wean, after an exhaustive in
vestigation and hearing of about three
years, during which testimony was TAX
en- in many of the larger cities of the
United States, rules that the current
from the single trolley wire escaping into
the ground, causes the decomposition of
water pipes and that the Peoria Water
Water Works Company therefore has
good grounds for damages. He recon-
mends that the injunction prayed for be
issued.

HILL-MoRGAN COMBINE.
Peace Patched Up Between the Con
tending Parties

NEW YORK, May 30.-Peace has been
patched up between the EIilI-Morgan
combination, according to the World,
and the Hartman Kuhn-Loeb syndicate
in the struggle for the control of the
Northern Pacific road. The friendliest
feeling now exists and an agreement has
practically been reached which will pre-
vent any renewal of the strife
The amicable understanding was
brought about through the friendly of
fees of George Gould and William K.
Vanderbilt.
Each side has ceased talking about it's
respective holdings in Northern Pacific
stock. Tt is said that the Union Pacific
Railroad owns over $59,00oOOo in securities
of the Northern Pacific
James ]. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, is in the city. He has been in
conference with representatives of the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific ever
since his arrival. He refuses to say any
thing for publication, either in regard to
Northern Pacific affairs or the conflict
with the Union Pacific interests.

NEW YORK, May sO.-According to
the Press, one of the heirs of the James
Wood estate-$sO, 900, o00-in England, is
Mrs. NJ. E. Patterson of Newark, N. j.
She is looking up papers which she
thinks will supply a missing link and
provide for a distribution of the money
There are about 200 heirs, each to re-
ceive, according to the lawyers in the
case, about 100000. Wood died in Eng
land in 1886, leaving vast estates. There
was a will but there Were SO many heirs,
many under age, that in settlement of
the estate there was great delay. The
English Probate Registry Court took
charge ami the money has been accumu-
lating interest for fifty-five years.

THE CAR AND
CONTINUED PEACE
His Majesty Talks in the Spirit
Of the Hague Pro.
posals.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 30.-Frederick
w. Hollis of the International Court of
Arbitration, left for Warsaw after hav-
ing been received IN special audience by
Emperor Niehclas The conference was
extended and most cordial. It is under
Hollis for his history of the peace con-
ference. dedicated to His Majesty, and
expressed the deepest qualification over
the cordial support from the American
ment, declaring that he wished to thank
the various American organizations, such
as churches and chambers OF commerce
for their enthusiastic effort in behalf of
peace.
1t is also understood that the Emperor
spoke warmly of the excellent relations
historical, traditional and actual, be-
tween the United States and Russia, and
expressed hope that both powers, with
their great resources, would continue to
stand for peace and the Strengthening OF
The Hague tribunal and the bloodless
adjustment of international difficulties.
His Majesty expressed a conviction
that the peace conference marked an i'm
portant step in advance, but that the
| tribunal must seek support first and fore
most in the intelligent opinion of the
world, adding that in this matter Ameri-
can opinion was universally recognized
as leading. Without the backing of the
American Government and people, the
Emperor observed, the conference could
not have been such a success.
His Majesty charged Mr.. Hollis with a
personal message of goodwill to Presi-
dent Mckinley, and with congratulations
upon the recovery of Mrs Mckinley.
The reception was absolutely informal
The young Prince of Oldenburg ushered
Mr.. Hollis into the Cabinet, where the
Emperor was.
Mr.. Hollis is said to have been greatly
impressed by the Emperor's grasp of the
subject and by his reserve mental force.
During his ten days stay he was warm
ly received by Count Lamsdorff, III. De
White and NJ. Pobiedonostzeff procurator
of the Holy Synod, and by other promi-
nent men. One of the most influential
statesmen he met while here told him
that Russia would not only not wage an
aggressive war. but would do all that
was possible TO prevent war between
other powers.
