EXTENSION OF SYSTEM.
Electrical Engineer Recommends Item
to Ee Included in Appropriation Bill.

Walter c. Allen, electrical engineer. has
forwarded to the District Commissioners
recommendation that the following proviSo
be inserted in the District appropriation
bill for the next fiscal year, under the head
of Lighting"
Provided. that the Commissioners are
hereby authorized. in their discretion. to
extend the street lighting system on and
along the Conduit road from its intersection
with the Canal road to the District line
and to use so much OF this appropriation
as may be necessary for maintaining the
lamps. The. location of the necessary
poles wires and fixtures and the use of the
road therefor shall be subject to such rea-
sonable regulations as may be prescribed
by the officer in charge of the Washington
aqueduct."
A copy of this proposed legislation has
been forwarded by the Commissioners to
Col A. NJ. Miller. in charge of the Aque-
duct, for any notifications changes he
may see fit to suggest. Several weeks
since the Commissioners were requested to
provide lights along the Conduit road but
found they were without authority to do So
, the roadway is under the control of the
War Department. The department ex-
pressed its inability to act in the matter
for the reason that the road was used al
most exclusively by taxpayers in the Dis
trIct. The way out of the question is the
app. al to Congress.

have the support of the delegation that is
to go to the convention. To large extent
Mr.. German is regarded as District man.
He Is so well known to the democrats here
that many of them look upon him as their
local representative. This sentiment is
working to make Mr.. German the leading
candidate for the nomination among the
democrats.
The movement against instruction of the
delegates for any candidate is being pushed
along by Mike Scanlon, who will himself
be candidate to go to the convention. He
will be a candidate for delegate to the
District primary convention. He Will from
first to last oppose the instruction of the
delegates for any candidate, believing that
the delegates should be left perfectly free
to use their best judgement as to who they
should vote for.
Mr.. Scanlon will also make a fight In tho
democratic primary convention favoring
local self-government for the District of
Columbia, and he will favor adopting reso-
buttons by the convention here instructing
the delegates to do what they can to have

the northeast boundary sewer to the inter-
section of Goth street and Bunker Hill road
is S342 900 The construction of this sewer
is required for the sewage of the subdivis-
ions of land referred to in the within COM
munication, and 1t should be secured just
as soon as 1t will be possible to provide the
funds required after giving appropriate con-
sideration to the demands for other neces-
sary objects of municipal expenditure.
1T seems probable that the large expendi-
lures necessary on account of the sewage
disposal project will cause a postponement
of action upon the extension Of the east side
intercepting sewer until after the fiscal year
1904-1905."

DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.
Division in Sentiment as to Instruct
ing Delegates.

The general understanding that one wing
of the District democracy will endeaver to
have thu District delegates to the next
democratic national convention Instructed
for German for the nomination and the
other for Hearst has brought up antago-
nfsm to giving instructions Of any kind to
the delegation, SO far as the candidates
are concerned.
The Hearst people, who in the last ma
uonal campaign were for Bryan for the
nomination are working energetically, but,
according to the general impression among
District democrats, they are not meeting
with great encouragement in their efforts
to get up sentiment for their candidate. It
is said that Mr.. Germans standing in the
District Is so strong that he is liable to

SAILING IN WITHOUT SKIPPER
New Brick Cheeses Appear on LocuI
Market to Associate with
Patriarchs.

Some old and honorable Representatives
OF the American branch of the Swiss cheese
family, cheeses which it Is an honor To
meet, are still on the market and keepinR
up characteristic air of reserve. the
wheels not bending below the 17-cent mark
and blocks warming only to a l5-cent figure
There are few Swiss parvenus In Omaha,
but the established crop holds them as rub
Der to the taste, for 1t takes time to bring
to the cheese the ancestral flavor OF good
breeding. In the full cream American fam
lily there is fine bunch of twins this sea-
son, which have been during the last two
weeks crowding in and driving their rheu-
matte forerunners from the market There
have been a few OF the creams coming in
regularly, but during this month the big
factories bring out their product, Young
Americas also came to town at the same
time with the twins, the greater part of
both hailing from Wisconsin state. The full
cream twins are now at 12h or 13 cents a
pound and the Young Americas cent
higher. these figures being 10 to 20 per cent
lower than the prices of two weeks ago.
The new arrivals are favorites with the
retailers for the reason that while few
connoisseurs among their patrons prefer
the sharp and mature old fellows the
greater number are able to eat larger guam
titles of the mild new cheese. New brick
cheeses are sailing in with never a skipper
at the helm and the new lmberger with
the chesty old bouquet has come to town.
The first of these goes to the retailers at
IA cents and the last at u cents.
