FOR A TEMPORARY SWITCH.
Made on Behalf of B. and
o, COMPANY,

The Commissioners have received COM
munication from Joseph l. Weller asking
that permission be granted the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to construct
temporary switch part of square 6I3.
at the southwest corner of 1st and M
streets northeast. In a report on the re-
quest the engineer department has stated
that the proposed siding being temporary
and desired by the railroad company for
the accommodation of Its business, author
ity for the construction will be found in
the act approved February r. 1901. au-
thoriZing the new track construction of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This sec
ton reads:
THAT If it should at any time be deemed
necessary or advisable in the construction
of the works hereby authorized to lay
temporary tracks on any street or ave-
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
pending the completion of such works. the
said company may lay such temporary
tracks subject to the approval and I'M
der the direction of the Commissioners Of
the District of Columbia
Since the proposed construction necessi
tates the crossing of a much-traveled thor
oughfare, it is suggested that plan def
initely locating the proposed work be sub
mitted for approval.
C. B. Hunt, engineer of highways. in an
Endorsement on the papers which is ap-
proved by Commissioner Biddle. recon-
mends that Mr.. Weller be advised that the
request for the permit to lay the switch
should properly be made by the railroad
company. to whom, it is stated. the permit
would be issued. In making the applica-
ton Mr.. Hunt agrees that a definite plan
of the siding should be submitted for ap-
prevail. and that compliance with such
conditions the permit would probably be
granted

NO SIGN OF FUR SEALS.
Report of Discovery Of Another Rock.
cry Was an Error.

Capt. Mcclellan of the United States rev.
enue marine service last summer reported
the discovery of new fur seal rookery on
Bouldir Island, IN Boring sea, and asked
for an appropriation by Congress sufficient
II patrol and protect ii.
This discovery was denied at the time OF
its announcement by Prof H. W. Elliott
who write to the State and Treasury De-
p&rtmeuts, giving his reasons for the same
saying that no such departure from the
natural law of life which these animals had
inf1eXibly obeyed ever since first known to
Whlte or savage men. was at all likely.
lie said that the revenue marine officers
had undoubtedly seen few harried and
hunted fur seals hauled out for rest aad
quiet on the rocks of Bouldir inlet but that
1t was a mere accident of their living and
did not signify that these animals had any
intention of breeding or of establishing
themselves there.

WE MUST OWN PANAMA.
Gen. Sickles Says That Should Be Done
Before We Dig the Canal.

The New York Sun today says:
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who was sent to
Panama and Bogota on a diplomatic mis-
sion shortly after the civil war. gave an
address on 1.-The New Republic of Panama
before the Patria Club at the Hotel Savoy
last night General Sickles said that the
United States must have a sovereign right
over the Isthmus of Panama before it goes
ahead with the canal He predicted that
revolution would take place in Colombia
before the month is over, and added:
I'VE will soon be called upon to recognize
new government in Bogota. They will
come to US and ask for indemnity for all
they have suffered on the isthmus. 1t is
not at all unlikely that our government will
give them some of the money which they
would have had by the treaty, and they
will go home only too happy TO strike
bargain.
LAS to what will happen in Panama. it is
not easy to forecast but it is probable that
there will be revolutions there. The United
States may endure this for a while, but 1t
would be absurd to spend hundreds of mil
lions in a country subject to revolutions.
We must give up the canal or make up our
minds to be absolute masters of the terri
tory through which it is to be constructed"
Gen. Sickles declared that the United
States was only performing it's obvious and
imperative duty in recognizing the de facto
government in Panama.
''All the great powers of the world recog-
n1Ze our duty. Does any dissent eX-
cept among ourselves? Here thousand
voices declared that Roosevelt did it. Hay
did 1t. Outrageous, they said. brutal,
disgraceful.' Every adjective in the Ian
guage was exhausted to reproach the gov
eminent. 1t was at once assumed that the
government instigated the revolution. Have
we ever started a revolution anywhere? Or
are revolutions so rare in South America
that they need to be stimulated by foreign
efforts?''
General Sickles said that the government
was only following precedent in recognizing
the Panama government and that in his
memory 1t had been called upon nineteen
or twenty times to recognize de fac;o gov
ernments in Central and South America.
He said that the treaty of 1916 clearly pro-
vided that the United States should pro-
tect the government in the isthmus from
foreign aggression.
But does any one suppose for a mo
ment. he added. that the United States
will guarantee Central or South American
government from revolution?'

FEWER VOTERS THAN EVER.
Peculiar Condition Exists in the State
of Virginia.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va. November 1i.-From
present prospects the voting strength of
been in seventy-five years. Ii comes as "A
result of the suffrage provisions of the new
state constitution, designed originally for
the disfranchisement of the negro only.
The registrations following the consti
tutionaI convention have been remark
ably light, but from now on these regis
trationS will amount to nothing unless
every man registered comes up and pays
to the treasurer of his city county, as
the case may be. his poll taxes in full
Voters throughout the state have less
than fourteen weeks left in which to pay
these taxes. December 10 the doors of
the offices of city and county treasurers
close for the receipt of poll taxes and a
list is then prepared of all who have paid
up.
These lists go to the judges of election for
reference and no one applying to vote on
the following election days will be allowed
to cast his ballot unless his name appears
on said lists.
So far very few of those on the regular
registration books have paid their taxes,
according to law, and the outlook is that
thousands of voters will be DISTINGUISHED
at the next presidential election.
Out of a registered vote of over 1000 in
Norfolk city less than 800 persons have
paid their taxes SO far. In the city of
Petersburg. Va, out of registered vote
Of 5000 only Us have SO far paid their
poll taxes and been placed on the eligible
list of voters. 1t is estimated that in that
city alone not more than 800 of the 5000
registered voters will be eligible to vote
at next years elections.
