Treaty of Paris had been unwse The result had
been that the United States had lost thousands
OF lives and thousands OF treasure in the Philip-
pines The Democratic party was in favor of car
fying out every obligation of the government in
the islands, but declaration of purpose on the
part of the United States would have prevented
the struggle that has been going for three
years.

pending bill was temporary i'm Character n would
remain IN force, If enacted, for perhaps hundred
years Ii would remain In full force until repealed

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Commissioners Report to Congress on
Senate Bill $3.50,

The District Commissioners today sub
mitted to Chairman Babcock of the
House District committee report on
House bill 1414S, for the appointment Of
railroad commission in Washington and the
establishment of railroad terminals and a
union station under the control of the COM
mission. The bill is in nearly every way
similar to Senate bill $3.50, upon which the
Commissioners reported a few days ago.
The report Of today is more explicit in
some Of it's details and says:
THE bill specifies the route which the
proposed railroad terminals shall follow
and fixes the location Of a proposed union
railroad depot. AS the selection of routes
within the city is matter which demands
great study and careful consideration, the
Commissioners do not consider 1t desirable
that the routes be specified until time is
had to make study Of the situation and
estimates of cost. If it is intended to pass
a bill creating a railroad commission. the
Commissioners believe that the location of
the station and terminals should be left to
it to determine, or that it should be re-
quired to report to Congress what location
and terminals and a station should be Sc
lectcd.
The Commissioners. in a report to the
Senate on Senate bill 1886 of this Congress,
which bill is similar to the one under con-
sideration, recommended, instead of such
legislation, tildt dn amendment De maze 10
Senate bill 1925 providing for a union sta
ton to be constructed by the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad companies) which would permit
other railroad companies which may be au-
thorized by Congress to enter the District
to enter such union station, and they be-
lieve that If such an amendment Is adopted
all present needs of the District in regard
to railroad facilities will have been filled
THE Commissioners haye not had suffi-
Gent time to go fully into the details of the
bill under consideration in this report, but
they believe that the legislation 1t pro-
poses is not desirable. and would therefore
recommend that it receive an unfayora Bile
report at the hands of your committee,

FIRE NEAR SCHOOL BUILDING.
Admirable Discipline Manifested by
the Pupils-But Slight DAMAGE.

Fire was discovered at 2:25 o'clock this
afternoon in a shed at the rear of No. %
Grant place. northwest. and only the
prompt response of the fire department
prevented a serious conflagration. The
shed was on the alley next to the Webster
School. and the efficiency of the fire drill
of the school children was thoroughly dem
onstrated in the midst of the excitement,

ing quietly and without any trace Of the
fear attending such occasions.
Policeman Oriani was the first to notice
the blaze and turned in the alarm An i'm
mense crowd gathered n remarkably
short time and the scene presented the APP
pearance of a destructive confagration
The occupants of the dwellings in the
neighborhood of the fire were excitedly
preparing to abandon their places of resi-
dence, for the flames spread to other sheds
along the alley. and. being all constructed
of wood, the smoke was so dense as to give
the appearance of q greater blaze
The cause of the fire is not known No
one was injured and the damage done was
slight.

ENGLAND's APPLICATION.
Wants Equal Privileges Granted to
Her Artists in the Way of Tariffs.

The United States government has had
under consideration for some time an APP
plication from the British government for
the allowance to British artists of the priv
ileges in the matter of reduced import du
ties and exemptions accorded to the art
lists of France. italy, Portugal and Ger
many. The latter countries obtained these
privileges through reciprocity arrangements
not treaties-effected under the terms of
the Dingley act. The British claim is based
upon the fact that whereas the other coun-
tries named abated import duties on cr-
tain United States products in part consid-
Grafton of receiving the reductions and ex-
emptions ON paintings and statuary, Great
Britain already had admitted such United
States products entirely free of duty. There
fore it is claimed that to deny the British
articles the privileges accorded to
the others would constitute a severe dis
elimination. Lord Pauncefote's Illness has
prevented the presentation Of this matter
before, but 1t Is expected that it will soon
be brought to an issue.

DOES NOT FEEL CONCERN.
Sentiment Of the Administration Re.

Sentiment Of the Administration Re-
garding Denmark's Delay on Treaty.
While the administration Is naturally de-
sirous that the Danish West Indian treaty
should be disposed of at the present session
of the rigsdag, 1t does not feel that the
fate Of the treaty would be put in jeopardy
by delay until next fall in its ratification,
as indicated III the Copenhagen dispatches.
Such noh1Aaction Would, however, oblige the
President Is subMit to the Senate for rati-
hcation q suppiehentai article to the treaty
changing the dates fixed for the final ex-
change Of ratiasatons. It is not expected
that any teriopy difficulty will be encoun-
tered in Rfocuyi1g favorable action upon
such a merely nBssnal proposition.
The opp6sitson4to the treaty in the lands
thing at Copenhagen is understood here to
be based upon desire that there shall be
a piebiscite in ting islands,, which shall not
be confined to the extremely limited prop
erty-holding classes, but shall be general
and include all the Inhabitants. The oppo-
sition Isl satisfied that If the question of
transfer Of allegiance Is left to The land
owners they would surely elect to be coded

enter into the negotiations between the
United States and Denmark. being regard
ed as purely domestic, and all that the

EXEMPTION D1sAPPRovEp.
Report Made on Bill to Relieve Linthi.
cum Institute.

The District Commissioners this after
noon submitted TO the House District COM
mittee report on House bill 1882, exempt
ing the property Of the Linthicum Insti-
tute from taxation. They say.
Property belonging to the Linthicum In
stitute, assessed at 1880. being buildings
and grounds actually used for educational
purposes, Is now carried on the District
records exempt from taxation. The pro-
posed legislation would relieve from all
taxes accrued since 1894, and hereafter to
accrue, upon property the assessed value OF
which is si6.50o This property consists OF
buildings which are rented to tenants and
constitute a source of income to the insti-
tute.
while the Commissioners would be very
glad to do anything which would aid this
institution in proper way, yet they doubt
the wisdom of the policy which would re-
lleve from taxes income producing prop
erty held for the purpose of aiding insGtu-
lions of religion or learning. They believe
that the enactment of the proposed legisla-
ton would make a precedent which would
lead to infinite trouble in the future.
The Commissioners, therefore. deem 1t
their duty to recommend that this legisla-
ton be not favorably considered"
