were completed late Saturday. for the
underwriting of the bonds that will be
issued by corporation formed for the
purpose of consolidating at least five

ship yards of Elizabethport n. j.: the

manager will be Lewis Nixon of the
Crescent ship yards, who is also close
ly allied with the Cramps of Philadel-
phla, and who never has ceased to labor
to bring about the consolidation since
the project was first preached
From a source that must be regarded
as authoritative, it was learned that
bonds will be issued to the amount of
S25, 600 900.
The underwriting, it is understood,
has been arranged through the office of

| Washington, June S.--The greater
part of the time of the Senate the pres

will be made by the supporters of the
Nicaragua route to secure an agree
ment to vote on the bill next Saturday.
| but the proba bilities are all against
| success. Senator Harris of Kansas,
Will open the debate, tomorrow, in sup
port of the Nicaragua route and he will

speech on Wednesday. He will sup
port the SpoOner bill.
Tomorrow, in the morning hour.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina.
will speak on the bill creating a nation

agreement reached, yesterday, the
morning hour of other days will be de-
voted to consideration of Senator Nell
sons bill for the abolition of the Lon
don dock charges until a vote shall be
taken upon it.
Saturday, the Senate will listen to
eulogies of the character of the late
Representative Stokes of South Caro-
lima. On Friday, the nomination of
Gen. Crozier to be chief of the ordi-
nance bureau will be considered in exc
cutive session. 1t is probable that

preparation bill during the week but he
has given no notice of such intention.

The House program for this week
contemplates consideration of the Pa
cific cable and the Senate irrigation
bills which the rules committee is anX-
ious to have disposed of before the
time set for taking up the Philippine
government bill. Special rules have
been prepared for consideration of
both measures. The cable bill will be
given two and the irrigation bill three
days.
The cable bill provides for an Ameri-
can built and an American laid cable
to connect our inSular possessions in
the Pacific with the Pacific coast. 1t
carries a direct appropriation out of
the treasury for this purpose. The
prospects for its passage are not con-
sidered bright.
The opposition to the bill believe the
cable to the Philippines should be laid
by private enterprises. Some of the
House leaders including Mr.. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriation commit
tee, it is understood, will oppose the ir-
rigation bill, but the friends of the
measure are very hopeful of it's pas
sage.
Tomorrow will be District of Column
hia day. All the appropriation bills ex-
cept the general deficiency which will
not be ready until next week have pass
ed the House.

Talk OF the Proposed Recep-

The monthly meeting OF the North
cast Citizens Association was held iu
the hall OF the Northeast Temple last
night The report OF the executive
committee was submitted by President
W. Il. Tucker. The leading feature OF
the report was the reference to the
proposed reception to District Com
missioner Henry Litchfeld West by the
various citizens associations and or
ganizations in ,he city.
This movement started at the Bright
wood Citizens meeting about a month
ago, and the other organizations were
asked to cooperate with that body and
tender a reception to the newly-appoint-
ed Commissioner. The event has been
Gxcd for December 20. but the hall in
which it is 10 be held has not been
! selected
/ ". J. FrizzeIl, a member of the eN-
Icoutive committee, submitted a set OF
/ resolutions comme9dng the annual re-
port Of the District Commissioners and
concurring in it's recommendations
The matter Of making current i'm
prOvements from current revenues only
was favored by the association, as was
the recommendations providing hat the
half and half principle OF the organic
act OF 1873 prevail in all appropriations
made for the District Of Columbia; that
il would be better to wait for any inn
provements than to have the cost o
it paid exclusively from the District
revenues: that the increase Of taxation
by the triennial assessment Of rea
estate and by the personal tax anc
license law will provide a revenue ample
TO meet all current expenditures anc
to provide for a sinking fund. that the
cost OF extraordinary Improvement.
should not be paid out OF current reve-
nues Of the years when they are made
that future years should share the bur-
dens as well as the benefits OF such
improvements. and that unless such
course is pursued taxation will grow
akin to confscation or the present and
future ordinary needs Of the people mus
20 unsatished.
The Northeast Citizens Association is
In favor OF the erection OF the new

Of the organization is supplemented by
