SEWAGE PUMPING PLANTS.
Report Regarding Cost Of Two Project
ed in the Suburbs.

81 The Commissioners have received a re-
port from Mr.. D. E. McComb the superin-
tendent Of sewers, On the application Of
the Brookland Citizens Association for in
formation as to the cost and maintenance
of sewage pumping plant at the intersec-
ton Of Queens Chapel road and Provi-
dence street and another at the intersection
Of 18th street and the Bunker Hill road.
An application for Information as to the
cost of proper sewerage for houses in Uni
Versity Heights made by r. W. Walker and
others is also dealt with.
Mr.. McComb says the cost of the pro-
posed plant at Queens Chapel road and
providence street Is estimated at $4,000.
and the cost Of maintenance at g. 55 per
annum. The cost Of the station at 18th
street and Bunker Hill road would be, &C
cording to estimate, $4,000. and the cost
OF maintenance 1875 a year.
With reference to the sewerage Of Uni
versity Heights, Mr.. McComb says that 1t
would involve the lowering Of the sewer In
10th street from Rhode Island avenue to
the Bunker Hill road. and the cost is esti
mated at $4,000. The construction of a
sewer in 18th street, according to the plan
of the applicants. would be expensive on
account of the great depth required across
the divide. The sewer would be 5000 feet
long and the average depth OF excavation
forty-four feet. The cost of the work is
placed at $4,000.

The War Rsepartpei1t has, made public
the completesrewised, report Of the uniform
board, giving full and detailed description
{ of the newly &dopfsd uniform of the army.
1t includes full npartfthlars regarding the
new service olive draH Uniform, which is
to supersede .the present" khaki uniform in
tropical service. = The only changes relate
to the dress uniform and. decorations and
insignia. --a..i s-.tz~'. 49, = . 5i-'1
The first recommendation was that off,
GERS onf duty1fn Washington should be re-
;e,dred to wear their uniforms during Office
hours Other recomne pda lions, all Of which
have been approved and Are CONSEQUENTLY
now army regulations, provide for the sub.
stieutiohh OF bronze sleeve ornaments for
those. of embroidery and metal for fun
dress. Chaplains are to wear black over
: coats. The embroidered gold oak leaves on
officers visors must come off, except on
ranks above that of major.
The United States coat of arms In gold Is
to be added to all shoulder knots of officers
above captains. .ss- ....,=5 ~
Blue facings are to be used instead Of
white. An important change Is the abon.
and service cap for officers and the service
trousers for enlisted men, '.a Provision is
made for combination sash and belt for
brigadier generals. s.--->
A significant recommendation calls for a
more detailed description Of the shoes to
be worn by officers, for it Is rumored that
the boards labors were begun as a result
of the detection of an officer otherwise
properly uniformed In full dress, wearing a
pair of russell shoes. Hereafter chevrons
are to be worn midway on the sleeve be-
tween the elbow and the shoulder. Other
recommendations are that belts and car
fridge cases are to be worn outside the
provided for the men, and that the bureau
Of insular affairs shall have a device.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-In the London
stock market American railway shares
we're fractionaliy higher than our closing
prices of yesterday.
The local stock market however opened
rather nstIessly. and the general talk was
for a reaction. This checked commission
house buying and led to some good selling
by one or two strong houses and by some
Of the room traders.
Manhattan acted heavy at the start, and
the stock quickly lost over II point SELL
ing induced by certain improvements I'm
the way of better service demanded of the
company by the railroad commission yes
terday. The friends of the company, how
ever. came to the support of the stock. and
1t recovered its loss in the first half
hours trading. The average changes in
the active list in the first half hour OF
trading were about " per cent below yes
terday's final prices. There was good firm
ness noted. however. in the Steel issues.
Sugar and Reading the two latter advanc-
ing quickly over u per cent both being In
demand. The buying In Reading was
said to be principally for the western con-
tingent. and for that reason IL did not find
much following.
After the first hour the reactionary tend
ency became more OF a feature. and on good
profit taking and some short selling the
cent. the latter in St. Paul.
The publication Of the bank statement
acted as a stimulant for the weakening
bulls and a buying movement set I'm that
caused sharp rally throughout the list. in
which nearly all of the earlier losses were
regained, but in the late dealings consider
able irregularity developed and there were
renewed proft-taking sales. causing a
rather irregular closing to the market.
In majority of cases there were slight
declines on the days trading. while ST.
Paul and Missouri Pacific lost 1 per cent
from the opening prices.
In the industrials the steel issues showed
good strength during the entire session,
while Tennessee Coal and Iron enjoyed
rally of per cent from its lowest price.
but the other industrials were somewhat ir-
regular and neglected.
The bank statement was Unexpectedly
good, both in cash and in the loan items.
that good judges of the market expect to
fairly good commission demand for
stocks the first of the week. but they do
not expect the Improvement from these out
