the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

of marble IN the construction Of the
Union Station. has caused a flood Of
communicate ~ to be addressed to the
Commissioners. protesting against the
purposed change.
Some doubt seems 20 remain in the
minds of the citizens as - whether the
Commissioners have power to dictate
what material shall be used. and for this
reason Commissioner Macfarland this
morning said that the District authOri-
ties viii be given an opportunity to pass
upon the plans ana specifications for
the new building. ard that when the
plans are submitted they viii be given
careful consideration. The Commission
ers are Of the opinion that. under the
provisions OF the act Of Congress, .au-
thorizing the CONSTRUCTION of the Union
Station. they have discretionary powers
as to the kind Of material to be en-
ployed in the building. The act specifies
that the plans shall be subject to the
approval Of the District Commissioners.

confidence that they will poll a total of
$4,000. If they do-and it seems quite
likely-the Republican plurality viii be
cut from $1,000 last year to less than
1900.

likely to jump from Is. 900 last year to
1900. and in other parts Of the State

the Republican ranks has characterized
the entire campaign. while the Demo-
Gratis. perfectly united for the first time
in years. have succeeded IN interesting
every one Of their members.
The Socialist vote Is the unsOlved
problem. Last year il was 1000. but
many think this was abnormally large.

DISTRICT CUTS IN TWO

Commissioners Favor Reduction of Sc

Two Thousand.

The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation of Col w. c. Haskell.
SeaIer of Weights and Measures, that
the marketmasters of the Eastern and
Western markets. respectively, be re-
quired TO give bond for 5000, and that
the marketmaster of Georgetown mar
ket furnish bond for 81 900 for the faith
full performance of their duties. 1t Is
specifically stated this does not include
the accounting of moneys
Heretofore the bond Of the market
masters has been double the amount
now required, because OF an old law
directing them % receipt for and collect
all market rents. The law now directs
the Collector OF Taxes TO collect and
account for the rents. and the market
masters duties are simply adm.nistra-
tive.

II is recommended that Congress be
asked to grant the technical shore duty

ant naval constructors. In discussing
the inadequate ray of the civil en-
gineer corps Admiral Endicott says:
THE pay of the corps of civil en-
gineers is one of. the smallest in tho
naval service bestowed upon commits
stoned officers, and is inadequate for the
character of service rendered. and COM
pares unfavofably with that obtaining
in civil life. One pay table having been
established for the three seagOlng corps,

distinctively shore duty corps should be
equalized with respect 10 each other
where the attachments required and ser
vices performed are of a similarly high
technical order.

DREYER FAILS TO Die.
Now He May Be Tried for the
Attempt on His Own Life.


Louis Dreyer, forty-two years old, Of
No. 129 Wayne street, produce
merchant, 4ttempted to commit suicide
early this morning by inhaling illuminate
ing gas. ] He was found by his wife
lying in bed unconscious, with rubber
tube in his mouth attached to an open
gas burner. An ambulance was sum
moned from the City Hospital and
Dreyer was attended by the ambulance
doctor, who revived him. He refused
to go to the hospital and the case was
turned over to Dr. Wolfson.
Should Dreyer recover fully he will be
arrested under a recent decision of a
Supreme Court Justice in an Essex
County case to the effect that suicide or
self-destruction was a crime against the
State the same as murder-and that an
attempt to take ones own life was Of the
same degree of crime as attempt to take
another ones lef.
Since that decision there has been but
one case of attempt at suicide that did
not prove successful at the time of the
attempt, but in that case the man died
some days afterward.

Last Night.

Between eight and ten thousand people
attended last nights performance of
Pawnee Bills Wild West and other ag-
gregations at ST. Paurs avenue and the
Boulevard. Several hundred who paid
for admission We're obliged to stand up.
Every seat, including those of the grand
stand, was occupied. Exhibitions of
rough riding by Indians, United States
soldiers and others, representing detach-
ments of the armies of various nations
were among the principal features of the
show. Scenes typical of the Wild West
Of not so many decades ago, pioneers
crossing the prairies, attacks by Indians
ON the old Deadwood stage coach and
then repulse, the burning by Indians of
a trapper's hut containing his daughter,
the defense and the rescue and punish
ment of the Indians by United States
cayalrymen, wer all spectacular and
fixed more vividly in the imagination
scenes read of concerning past life in
the far West. There was quite an ex-
hibition of animals, mostly Indigenous
to the West. Filipinos took a prominent
part in the exhibition and these excited
considerable interest.
