QUESTION OF STREET NAME.
Commissioners Reply to Request Of
Congress.

In response to request from Chairman
Babcock Of the House District committee
that the Commissioners express their views
upon the bill for the purpose of changing
the names of Pierce. Blake, Swami and
Cedar streets and Oregon avenue to Sam
son street, the District authorities today
forwarded communication to Mr.. Bah
cock in which they say they are in favor
of giving a single name.
The Commissioners say that the east end
of Oregon avenue, one block long, Is
brought perpendicular to New Hampshire
avenue, so that 1t is not absolutely opposite
Swami street on the other side of New
Hampshire avenue. Cedar street to the
west of Oregon avenue, also one block long
is designated by its residents very fire.
quently as Oregon avenue, but is officially
known as Cedar street. As these streets
lie between s and streets the Commits
sioners say 1t would be convenient to give
them name beginning with s. but this
rule is not universally followed out in the
city.
Continuing. the Commissioners say:
Samson street, from this point Of view.
would be a satisfactory name, but 1t Is un-
derstood that the residents Of these blocks
desire some other name than Samson. It
has been suggested that the name Oregon
be given the whole Of it. but this is not con-
sidered advisable by the Commissioners, for
the reason that the name of Oregon has
been reserved on the street extension plan
for real avenue and n to be used for q
narrow street fifty or sixty feet wide and
but five blocks long.
These short blocks sht not be called
avenue, but either street or place. pref
erably the latter, as it has been the policy
to call short streets by that name, such as
John Marshall place, Jackson place. Grant
place, Riggs place and others. Any single
isfactory to the Commissioners. but pref
erence would be given to one beginning

WORKING FOR ADJOURNMENT.
Congress Hopes to Get Away on the
28th Instant.

The House and Senate leaders are work
ing for adjournment OF Congress April g.
There is nothing in sight at the moment
which would seem to stand in the way Of
such action.
The House is working under special rules
for consideration Of important bills. The
bill authorizing the appointment Of a COM
mission to study the ship subsidy question
and rehabilitation OF the merchant marine
will pass Immediately under special rule.
It Is understood that 1t viii also pass the
Senate.
There may be some controversy between
the two houses over the form of the legis-
lation for the Panama canal strip. The
Senate passed very elaborate and careful
ly prepared bill, going to length into details
OF administration. The House committee
struck out all Of the Senate details and
reported short resolution vesting all mat
ters of administration In the hands OF the
President of the United States. This was
following the precedent in the government
Of the Louisiana purchase and in the tenn
porary government of the Philippine Is
lands. Inquiry on the Senate side today
indicated that there was some dissatisfac-
tion with the action OF the House, but the
leaders may be able to satisfy the objec-
lions of the Senate and agree upon the bill.

HOME RULE A FACTOR.
gohn Redmond Speaks at Annual Ma
tionalist Convention.

DUBLIN. April 21.-The annual national
ist convention at the Mansion House here
today was well attended and excited much
enthusiasm. John Redmond, who presided
at the opening proceedings, said the union
Est government and party were In a con-
nemned cell, waiting for the execution Of
the sentence which had been pronounced
On them and in all human probability 1t
was reserved for the representatives of
ireland to give the final blow which would
end their existence. They had denied
Ireland home rule, had broken their pledges
and had introduced a budget which would
impose an additional burden of $2,500.OOO
yearly on Ireland.
The question of home rule was again be-
coming q decided factor in English cleo
tons, and when the dissolution of parlla-
ment came 1t would be found to be a de-
gliding factor as to what government should
rule the empire.
The convention passed a resolution in
favor of home rule and expressing con-
fidence In the Irish members Of parliament.

THE SENATE.

When the Senate convened today the fol-
lowing bills were passed:
Authorizing the use of government land
in connection with the water works at Erie
Pa.
Authorizing the construction Of bridge
over the Missouri river at Lexington, Mo-
Amending the act granting a charter to
the General Federation of Women's Clubs
so as to give the organization the privilege
of holding biennial meetings outside of
Washington.
During, the morning hour Mr.. Warren
sought to secure consideration of a bill
providing for the payment of the claim Of
the heirs of Warren Mitchell Of Louisville,
KY, for s12s,692 on account of cotton
seized during the civil war, but the effort
was antagonized by Messrs. Aldrich,
Spooner and other senators. He then moved
to proceed to the consideration of the BILL
and on a roll call the motion prevailed
40 to 10. Mr.. Spooner said the bill was a
very old one, and Mr.. Warren contended
that, nevertheless. it was meritorious.
Mr.. Warren red from a report Of the
Court Of Claims giving the opinion OF JUS
tice Swayne to the effect that the Supreme
Court of the United States regretted that
more evidence in regard to the claim had
not been offered, and indicating that the
adverse ruling on the claim might have
been different IL such additional testimony
had been submitted.
Mr.. Plat of Connecticut said that the
Wallace report. which was the official re-
port Of the Supreme Court, did not include
the observation by Justice Swayne which
had been quoted by Mr.. Warren
"1f 1t comes to a question of my veracity
I will send the report to the senator" said
Mr.. Warren. He read from the report of
the Court Of Claims, quoting a portion OF
the opinion Of the Supreme Court
Messrs. Lodge, Plat, Spooner and AL
drich declared that the Wallace report was
the correct review of the Supreme Court.
while Messrs. Warren, Blackburn and Full
ton insisted 1t was often a syllabus giving
only that part Of the opinion having direct
bearing on the case.
'1t is serious thing" said Mr.. Lodge
when n charge is made that the official re-
ports of the Supreme Court are incorrect
1t affects all of the court records and per-
haps invalidates Them"
"Well," said Mr.. Warren 'sthe dispute of
the senator from Massachusetts is with the
Supreme Court or the report of the Court of
Claims. think have given satisfaction as
to my veracity on the subject"
The debate on the claim bill continued
until o'clock, when under the rules 1t
was necessarily laid aside. and the pension
appropriation bill taken up. That meas
ure, however. was temporarily laid aside
long enough to permit the passage OF tbs
following bills:
Amending the mineral laws relative to
the location Of lode claims.
Establishing supreme court for the In
dian territory.
