possibility Of running excursions into the
city from radius of fifty miles or more.

ASKS FOR EMBARRASSMENT.
Auditor Petty Recommends That Claim
Re nsalloWed.


Auditor Petty has submitted a report to
the Commissioners regarding the claim or
Charles H. Pemberton of the smallpox hos
pital, who asks that he be reimbursed in
the sum OF SIS for repairs to a wagon
owned by him and used In the smallpox
service.
Il have no recollection" stated Health
Officer Woodward. in forwarding the claim,
''of the use of Mr.. Pemberton's wagon for
official purposes ever having been sanction
ed by the health officer. and have no knowl-
edge of such use ever having been sane
toned by the acting health officer. 1 shall
be glad however. in justice to Mr.. Pember-
ton. to recommend payment for such re-
pairs IL the recommendation can be favor
ably acted upon"
IF this bill were otherwise allowable"
says Auditor Petty in his report. lit would
be open to question for its lack of DETAIL
and the fact that the work was done with
out the knowledge or consent of the Dis
trict. In addition to these objections. how
ever, it falls within the inhibition OF the
act of July z. 1898, respecting the accept
ance of volunteer service no authority for
the use of the wagon having been obtained
from any responsible official Of the gov
eminent. AS a private vehicle. therefore,
which had not been hired by the District,
no appropriation Is legally chargeable With
the expense of it's repair, and l recon-
mend that the claim be not allowed.
This action has been approved by the
Commissioners.

PROPOSED DEMONSTRATION.
Nothing Known Here of the Report
That Foreign Vessels Will Come.

Nothing Is known here of the report that
a great naval International demonstration is
to be held in Hampton Roads next year in
connection with the Louisiana purchase ex-
position. Something of that kind took
place in connection with the opening of the
Chicago exposition when the Columbian
caravals arrived In this country. But st.
St. Louis Is so remote from the sea coast
that there is a disposition to question the
wisdom of creating a distant counter at
traction to the fair. and consequently the
proposition to issue invitations through the
United States government to foreign mari
time powers has not taken shape.
1t is. however, the belief that the govern
ment will extend invitations of that kind
upon the occasion of the three hundredth
anniversary of the settlement Of James
town which is expected to enlist the sup
port of the entire Atlantic coast states in
1907 The vessels in that case will be
gathered in Hampton Roads, which mag
nificent harbor will shelter the combined
navies of the world, and. being almost
landlocked. will afford spectators the best
opportunity of looking at the naval dis
Dlay.
