FAvoRABLY RECOMMENDED.
Permit for Projection to Grace Re-
formed Church.

The District Commissioners have received
letter from the Rev. John NJ. Schick OF
140S 18th street. requesting permission to
use dve-foot projection for the proposed
new Grace Reformed Church building on
10Th street between Rhode Island avenue
and p street. Mr.. Snowden Ashford, the
Inspector Of buildings. has submitted a re-
port upon the application in which he
states that the plans do not comply with
the schedule of projections, but that this
case seems to be one where a departure
might be made from the strict letter Of the
building regulations.
Mr. Ashford says IL the full frontage of
the property belonging to the church is
taken into consideration 1t will. according
to the plan submitted, amount to seventy
one feet. On the basis of this frontage,
MIR. Ashford says, q projection Of twenty
four feet, four inches might be allowed
according to the schedule. AS the pro1ec-
ton asked for Is only slightly in excess Of
the amount allowable. and will be more
than forty feet or more from adjoining
property, and on a building Of semi public
character. Mr.. Ashford is of the opinion
that the exception might be made without
embarrassment. as exceptions have already
been made for church edifices. Mr.. Ash
ford recommends that the application b.
granted.

speed attained was about sixty miles an
hour. and the ride which the prince got
down through the foothills in the huge,
swaying engine was an exciting one.
At speed Of forty miles an hour the
train cleared Johnstown, and the crowd
that waited at the depot in two long lines
on either side Of the track got but short
view Of It. At Bradensville the train was
stopped and the prince. with cinder-marked
face and begrimed hands. returned to his
car To dress for the reception at Pittsburg.
AS he returned to the car he laughed at
the sport Of his ride through the mountains
and said that he had had a splendid time.
He donned his uniform as admiral and the
members of his suite and the military and
naval members Of the American escort also
put on their uniforms. No other stops were
made on the way to Pittsburg.
At Pittsburg the prince was greeted by
a brass band and the German singing so
cieties Of Allegheny county. Fully 10000
people lined the boulevard and streets
about the station. Prince Henry was pre-
sented with a floral token and an address
was handed to him.
The prince appeared on the rear plat
form and thanked the committees in an
address OF q few words.

army In the Philippines to about 81, 600 men
designates the regiments which are to be
sent home and the order of their departure
from Manila, as follows:
Third Infantry. 18th Infantry, 9th Infan-.
try. 21st Infantry. 18th Infantry, 9th In
fantry, 10th Infantry, 10th Infantry, oath
Infantry. 25th Infantry and the Sd Cavalry.
All these organizations went to the Philip
pines in 1899, and in the order named, ex-
cept In the case of the 10th Infantry,
which went out after the oath and 25th
Regiments.
The 17th and Goth Regiments Of Infantry
now in the Philippines are also coming to
the United States under orders previously
issued.
The recall Of these troops and their par
tial replacement by other troops from the
United States now under orders for
foreign service will reduce the standing
army in the Philippines from 10000 to
about $1,000 men. including native scouts.

cept in the matter of the order Of their de-
parture. all the details of the movement are
left to the discretion of Gen. Chaffee, who
will time the departure of each organiza-
tion SO as not to interfere with the proper

important factor In the time Of the de-
parture of the homecoming regiments, but
the understanding Is that there shall be no
delay in that matter beyond the require
ments Of the military situation in the Phil
ippines. An effort was made to induce the
War Department to bring the fighting 9th
Infantry home through the Suez canal SO
that 1t could be given an ovation at New
York and other eastern cities, but the de-
partment has decided to make no exception
in the case Of that regiment. and, like the
others. it will come home by the Pacific

morning. killing two men and severely in
turing two others. The dead:

Injured:
Charles Anderson, rigger.

bers erected over the pavement for the pro-
lection Of pedestrians was borne to the
ground and the mass Of debris was thrown
half way across the street. =
The cause Of the accident Is not definitely
known. but 1t Is supposed to have been oc-'
casioned by the fall Of derrick. The new
addition was four stories In height, and was
completed with the exception of q cornice,
consisting Of slabs OF granite. On scat
folding in front Of the building stood an
engine and derrick used to hoist the heavy
stones into position. It Is believed por-

Stock Market Was Given
Over to Dullness.
FAIR BANK STATEMENT
THIS HELPED TO IMPROVEMENT
AT THE CLOSE.
The Big Financiers Are All Preparing
to Take Their Lenten
Vacations.

special Dispatch to Tho Evening Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The trading in
today's stock market was limited in volume
ana confined largely to the professional
room element. Outside interests are doing
almost nothing. and there are evidences
that the market is to be allowed to settle
back into dullness pending more definite
crop news. The scare over crop prospects
which was attempted In yesterdays market
was not warranted by the facts.
1t Is too early to make accurate estimates
OF the spring crops, but there Is no reason
to fear that any disaster threatens. There
Is dull market and rumor has again been
forced to serve the temporary purpose OF
warding off stagnation. Sellers of stocks
are not found among the larger interests
and the occasional liquidation come from
speculative accounts and suggests no radi-
cal change in conditions.
Trades reports are favorable, and indica-
t'ons point clearly to good seasons busi-
ness Earnings hold well. except in Sec
tlons where unusual weather conditions pre-
vail The big men In the street are arrang-
Ing to leave town. and Mr.. Morgan Is said
to be arranging to sail for Europe next
week. This all indicates satisfaction with
market conditions, but points equally clear
ly to the belief that no material changes are
likely during the Lenten vacation period.
Pool enthusiasm has decreased and prices
are allowed to shift for themselves. South
ern Pacific is barely steady. shade under
"a, and Union Pacific is supplied at every
advance ST. Paul sells OFF and its best
friends make little effort to stay the re-
cession, knowing that in one vigorous day
the declines OF week can be regained.
The low-priced shares serve their turn,
being easily advanced, and contribute to the
possibilities Of quick turns at small risks.
The industrial group holds well and there
has been splendid buying Of Sugar and Steel
all the week. The latter shares are going
into strong hands
The coal shares reflect a waiting market
and prices are q shade under the best.
Reading finds a broad market on all set
backs. and seems to be the most promising
member of its group.
Prices rallied fractionally on the bank
statement owing to the fact that the loss
OF nearly $3.OOOOO0 In money was less than
expected, In view Of the gold shipments
The loans Increased only 81 .433 600, and
the deposits show a shrinkage Of 81, ,9S5, 300
The net result reduces the reserve 81 49,
725. or to total Of $4,000. 900 in round
numbers. Money rates are not threatened
and talk Of large shipments Of gold to
Japan is premature.

TO REDISTRICT OHIO.
The Patterson Bill is Passed by the
Senate

senate.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March LIN spite
of the strenuous objections Of Representa-
tives r. M. Nevine of the third district,
and Emmitt Tompkns of the twelfth. the
senate has passed the Patterson redistrict-
ing bill, and since 1t has the sanction OF
Senator Hanna 1t is quite certain to pass
the house and become law. While the
bill bases the districts upon the new fed
eral census. it leaves them just as they
are now and have been through the whole
of the last decade.
Both the third and the twelfth districts
were intended to be democratic when that
system of districts was adopted, but the
injection OF the money question demoral-
lied the democratic party organizations in
them and the result is that today both are
represented at Washington by republicans.
However. it 1s recognized that the tide is
swinging back the other way now and II
the districts are left as they are it is very
likely that they will be retaken by the
democrats in the congressional elections
this year. Mr.. Tompkins wanted Fairfield
county taken from this district and Della
ware put in its place. Fairfield is strongly
democratic, and II taken from this district
would have to be placed in General Gros-
Venor's district. OF course the general did
not like that In the third district Mr..
Nevins wanted Preble county, very close
one politically, taken from the district and
Greene county-good any year for 1900 re-
publican plurality-put in its place.
These amendments to the Patterson bill
were voted on together, and but eight votes
could be secured to their support out OF
the total Of thirty-three in the senate.
The democrats seemed to think the pres
ent system Of districts as good as they
would probably get out of revision OF
them, and so with two exceptions they all
voted for the Patterson bill When the
system was adopted ten years ago the
democrats fought it hard.
