EXPERIMENTING WITH LIGHTS


Those who noted the proceedings of the
Board of Public Works Monday were sur
prised to find that permission had been
granted the Home Heating and Lighting
Company to erect three lights-one at Me-
ridian and Sixteenth, one at Meridian and
Fifteenth and another on Pennsylvania
street. between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets These lights are to be 2,000-can-
dle-power arc lights. Samuel e. Rauh
president of the Home Company, said last
night that his company is trying out"
lamps for street lighting before submitting
a bid for the city lighting.
II expect" said Mr.. Rauh, that the city
will soon ask for bids, and the Home Com
pany wants to be prepared with the best
in the market We have put these lights
up largely to satisfy ourselves as to their
value. but they are there, also. for public
inspection"
The Board of Public Works is now con-
sidering specifications with reference to a
new public lighting contract The present
contract expires in July. 1903.

Washington. Jan. 5-There appears to be
a growing distrust of the Nicaraguan Canal
project in the Senate. There is a fear that
estimates of cost which have varied from

the total necessary and with the crying
demand for tariff reduction many Senators
think this greater project might well wait

about S50O,o11.aIG. The estimate made by
The Walker Commission for the Nicaragua
route is about s1@o,Go.C00 Many Senators
are apDrehensive that the cost in reality
will he double or 1reble that amount. This
has led some OF them also to favor the
Panama route. where work has progressed
far enough to j tstify reasonably close
estimate of cost
Owing to these two considerations it Is
no, at all improbable that canal legislation
will go over 10 the next session. if not to

will pass the House. but its fate in the
Senate is doubtful.
Mason No Longer Alone.
Senator Billy Mason of Illinois is no

Clapp, of Minnesota. who succeeded the late
Senator Davis. is on record to the effect
that the executive session is a joke. and
need not be taken seriously by the Ameri-
can people. Mr.. Clapp has told the Senate
that he knows the people of the country
regard the executive sessions largely as "a
farce. and there is reason for this. and Mr.
Clapp predicts that the time Will come
when tradition. which perpetuates the Sc
cret Senate session. will become part and
parcel of the rubbish that marks the prog

in his characteristic way calls the execu-
