lam a stranger in Washington and that's
just why 1 offer you this lamentab BILE tale.
In my walks about the city 1 have come
across beautiful statues situated In lings
of architectural beauty, men in bronze, on
horseback and on foot. men who deserved
well Of their country and are now justly
and loftily aired for public observation
but it strikes me. while their glories are
extolled in enduring metal, the statues are
somewhat deficient. l find the Logan statue
has metal plates containing individual fig
ures. Now. who are those Individuals? If
small raised letters of the same constructive
form as Logan on the base Of the statue
were placed under the figures older people
than school boys would know who the
glorious generals of civil strife were, who
were the members OF Congress at an i'm
portant function. The same fault Is found
with Daniel Webster, only that the fault
not place the metal iiustrat ton of his
greatness below his feet and crowd 1t with
individuals whom the present living do not
recognize offhand by facial characteristics;
nor did he create the metal representation
Of some scene which he really did create,
where a man on horseback Is wildly throw
Ing his arms about and women in odd bon
nets and of the long ago gaze at the spec
tator with feelings akin to awe. l know
that history Is open to me. but II !, In COM
mon with the generality OF people, were to
wade through all the historical association
OF public lives I would have to be born
over and In a library as brimful OF intelIi-
gence as our Congressional and grow I'D
In the library until old age had come upon

1t would reduce all speculation to a narrow
basis. and the same observation may be
made Of all such statues. wherever they
exist. and this is why / offer you, unso-

CAUSED MUCH AMUSEMENT.
The Effective Way in Which Mr.. Can
non Won Out Yesterday.

The effective manner in which Represen-
tative Cannon met the opposition to MS
plan for a new office building for members
of the House and for the extension OF the
Capitol caused much amusement among his
colleagues on both sides of the House yes
terday afternoon. Just before the section
Of the sundry civil bill to which the amend
ments were to be made was reached Mr..
Stephens Of Texas offered an amendment
to pay Greer county, Tex, the sum OF $780,
600. The claim had not been passed upon
by the claims committee, and was clearly
'.out of order on the bill. Mr.. Cannon
promptly made the point of order necessary
to kill the amendment. He then oHered
the amendment for the office building.
Nj. Stephens, with sardonic smile, arose
and made the point Of order that the
amendment was new legislation and not
in order on the bill.
Mr. Cannon did not dispute this, and. in
accordance with the rules, as The Star re-
ported yesterday, the chair ruled the
amendment out. This same process was
gone through regarding the amendment for
the extension Of the Capitol.
Thereupon Mr.. Grosvenor, from the COM
mittee on rules, brought in two rules from
that committee, making each one of the
amendments in order on the bill. Mr..
Stephens led the opposition to the adoption
Of these rules, but only nine of his demo-
cratic colleagues and none of the republf-
cans were with him, while 116 votes were
cast in favor Of the proposition.

The announcement OF ex-Gov. Stanley's
acceptance Of the Craftsmanship Of the

pointment was rendered to Mr.. Stanley at
the instance of Senator-elect Long, and
when the latter received telegram from
Mr.. Stanley saying that he did not want
the office 1t was thought that ended the
case. Hence the surprise when 1t was
found that the offer had been remembered
and accepted. The appointment wiz re-

STORAGE OF EXPLOSIVES.
Inquiry Made at War Department in
Behalf Of Committee.

c. w. Somerville Of the building depart
ment. secretary Of the committee appoint
ed by the Commissioners to draft regula-
lions on the subject Of the use and storage
of explosives. has notified the authorities
the committee is DESTROYS of obtaining for
basis for the use and storage Of explosives
in the District such data as can be obtained
as to the limit Of quantity Of gunpowder or
other high explosive stored or kept in any
one magazine for use by the army or navy
within the confines of the District The
Commissioners have sent letter to the
Secretary of War telling him that the Dis
trict authorities are preparing regulations
governing the storage of explosives in the
city and asks whether any explosives are
stored here for the use of the War De-
partment, and IL so, whether there are any
special regulations with regard to such
storage. similar letter was sent to the
Secretary Of the Navy.

REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Request for Reconsideration of Appli-
cation for Refund.

The Commissioners have referred to the
corporation counsel the papers in the case
of the application of D. orc. Callaghan for
a reconsideration of the request of Samuel
Bensnger for refund of 500 paid by him
for the special privileges of licensed
vendor" several years ago. According to
a memorandum made for Commissioner
West in considering the matter it appears
that December so, 1895, the then Commits
sioners issued an order that dealers along
Louisiana avenue between 9th ard 10th
streets northwest be assigned what was
deemed a very liberal space upon the side
walk in front of their places Of business for
the display of their goods. There was not
at that time any specific legislation to au-
t1lorize the Commissioners to grant the use
Of public parking for purposes Of this kind,
but 1t was thought that this possible objec-
ton might be obvfated and the vendors al
lowed this eQuitab BILE privilege by treating
them as licensed vendors, paying an annual
tax Of $25 and this plan, as it appears OF
record, was eagerly accepted by the mer-
chants as a happy solution of their long
standing troubles, and the tax was paid by
each of them Under the present law.
which the Commissioners were instrumental
In securing. it Is not necessary to make any
charge for the privilege. The money re-
ceived from this source has been deposited
in the United States treasury and cannot
be refunded without special act of Con-
gress. similar request for refund by Mr..
o. O. Spicer was made In 1898. but was de-
MED by the then Commissioners.
Mr.. Callaghan contends that his client.
Mr. Bensinger, paid the licensed vendors
tax under protest, On the ground that he
had already secured a license as auctioneer,
for which he paid 800 annually, and that
the latter entitled him to the privilege of
the parking without an additional license
as vendor" Mr.. Callaghan submits that
the Commissioners were without authority
to make an order Of the kind referred to;
that there was a common law right to the
use Of the parking for the display OF goods;

REPORT ADVERSELY.
Commissioners Disapprove an Amend
ment to District Bill.

The Commissioners have made an I'M
favorable report to the Senate District COM
mittee on the amendment to the District
bill proposed by Senator Foster of Wash
ington, appropriating 100000 for the OPEN
ing of School street and the establishment
of a park at the corner of 14th street and
Columbia road, Columbia Heights. The
citizens Of that section Of the city have
long been interested In preserving as park
the grove of fine oak trees in this locality
and hope Congress will take a favorable
view of the matter before the square Is
subdivided into building lots. In their re-
port the Commissioners say:
1.-The Commissioners have already recon-
mended the opening of School street as far
as Kenesaw avenue, but not as far as CO.
iumbia road. The establishment Of park
in that locality is. of course, desirable as
there are no parks there at present. The
great cost would, however, preclude the
execution Of the project in the present con-
dition of District finances; and. moreover.
1t would seem that the establishment OF
fined system, and that special investiga-
ton of the most desirable and economical
locations should be made before any pur-
chase for the purpose is made.
"A plat is inciosed showing the grounds
proposed to be taken; also plat showing
what land 1t would be necessary to include
in order to take in all Of the existing oak
trees which 1t is desired to preserve, and
the estimated cost Of which would be
$3.50 Geo.
The Commissioners have also made an
adverse report to the Senate on the pro-
posed amendment to the appropriation bill
setting aside $25 600 for the Improvement
Of Afbemarle street from Connecticut ave-
nue. to Broad Branch road. upon condition
that the street shall be dedicated to the
public. In view of the present condition of
the District finances and the more pressing
needs of streets already In existence, the
Commissioners cannot recommend the ex-
penditure at this time.

DECLARED TO BE SAFE.
Condition Of Busch Building Not Re-
garded as Dangerous.

The Postmaster General recently for
warded to the Commissioners copy Of a
communication received by him from the
topographer of the department. who oc-
cupies rooms in the Busch building, locar-
ed on E street between It'll and Sth streets
northwest. in which he expressed the opin-
ion that the building was in a possibly
dangerous conditions An investigation was
requested. The inspector Of buildings has
forwarded detailediTeport to the Com
missioners on the shAyect. Three inspect
ors Of the departms nt. examined the build
ing. Their report Ashows that the wall
complained Of is one2aaId one-quarter inches
out Of plumb and thaslslight cracks, prob
ably due to settlements exist but 1t Is their
opinion the character OF these defects Is
not such as to render the building danger
GUS in any sense. New guide rails have
been put In for the3 elevator, which is re-
garded as safe. rcasI as
