ACCESS TO LEXINGTON.
Citizens Association Wants s and T
Streets Opened and Graded.

The North Capitol and lexington Citi-
zens' Association has forwarded to Chair
man Babcock of the House committee on
the District of Columbia copy of resolu-
tons adopted by the association December
70. with regard to matters connected with
the new terminal arrangements of the rail-
roads engaged in carrying forward the
union station improvements and the elimi-
nation Of grade crossings
The resolutions reached the District COM
mite rooms Saturday. They state that in
view Of the large number of streets closed
to the east and to. the south of lexington
under the, terminal legislation now being
carried out. both and I streets from Lin
coin avenue east to I'd street northeast
should be opened and graded. so as to es-
tabaSh communication between lexington
and. that portion Of the city lying to the
west.
The association urges that Congress pro-
vide at this session for the opening Of the
streets as compensation in part for the nu-
merous streets closed and for the accommO-
dation of the large number of citizens d.
rectly and indirectly. affected.
IN letter accompanying the resolutions
Secretary Tingley asks that hearing be
granted by the committee to representa-
t1yes OF the association.
The members of the association will prob
ably be advised to draft bill for the en-
tension of the streets named and have it
introduced in the House. Then the COM
mittee will be competent to grant the re-
QueSted hearing.

MAY RESULT IN BIGGER CIGARS.
Result of the Reciprocity Treaty With
Cuba.

dispatch from New York last night
says:
The Cuban reciprocity BILL which became
operative at 1901 am. on Sunday, has APP
parently had little immediate effect on
either the sugar or tobacco commodities in
this city The bill was apparently fully an
ticipated in the case OF sugar, which was
discounted several weeks ago.
In the case of imported tobacco no imme-
date change is discernible, but it is con-
fidently predicted by those who should know
that the alteration expected within the next
few days will be not in the reduced price of
imported cgars-except perhaps in the box
trade-but in the weight and fullness of the
individual cigar.
AS to the effect on imported tobacco, H.
S. Collins of the United States Cigar Stores
Company said: 1.-THE reduction of % per
cent will make virtually no alteration in
the cost of the ordinary cigar. The benefit
to the consumer will lie in the weight body
and fullness of the cigar Suppose the re-
duction means that a certain brand of
cigars can be bought for 81 or So a thou
sand cheaper than heretofore. This would
only mean a reduction of fraction of a
cent on the individual cigar. The effect
therefore, in the price will virtually be only
on the box trade. 1t is safe to say how
ever, That certain 25-cent cigars will in the
near fut ure be fuller and heavier We also
expect ,,iat a special Cuban reciprocity per-
fecto, long and full, has been turned out by
the Cuban factories in anticipation of the
bill, to sell at two for a quarter

U. S. STEEL EARNINGS.
Wall Street Interested in Probable
Showinp-Estimate Made.

The New York Tribune of today says:
Unusual interest is being taken by Wall
street In the probable showing of earnings
OF the United States Steel Corporation to
be made in the statement which is to be is
sued by the directors this week. giving the
results of operation for the three months
ended December 81 last. For October, No
vember and December, 1901, the corpora
tons net earnings aggregated $29 759. 912,
and for the three months ending December
81, 1902, they were $31 $3.50 ,613. That the
net earnings for the quarter just ended will
fall far below these totals is unquestioned,
Tor the period has been one of great dull
ness and depression in the iron and steel
business, condition which has led to the
temporary closing, from time to time, of
many of the steel corporations plants to
the institution of sweeping economies in
salaries and wages-the beneficial effect Of
which WILL however, appear only to tri-
fling extent in the quarterly statement now
in prepal ation-and to the reaching out for
foreign markets, in which price concessions
must be made. Although, ther efore, the
figures which will be presented this week
will be small compared with the results OBJ
tanned for the corresponding periods of 1902
and 1901, the best opinion in the street is
that some of the estimates which have re-
Gently been put out will be found to be
much too low.

NEGLECTED HIS DUTY.
Result of the Court-Martial Of Lieut..
George B. Sharon.

First Lieutenant George B. Sharon, Both
Infantry, was tried at Manila by court
martial, charged with the alleged embez-
element of about $500 of post exchange
funds and also with neglect of duty. The
court found him not guilty of the charge of
embezzement, but guilty of the charge of
neglect of duty. He was sentenced to be re-
duced twenty-five files in rank ard to be
reprimanded
In reviewing the record in this case Brig
adler General Randall commanding the
Department of Luzon, said that the claim
that the accused was robbed was unsup-
ported, and that he was given the benefit,
mot of q. reasonable doubt but of vague
conjecture" He therefore disapproved tho
findings with the exception of the finding
on the third charge, which he approved
aside from the question whether the box
was intertered with. said General Randall.
at was gross recklessness to keep money
entrusted to him in such a place There
were fourteen safes in the post and no good
reason appears why the bulk of the money
except a little for change should not have
been deposited in one of them. The SEN
tence is approved as punishment for this
offense and will be duly executed"

SHERMAN ESTATE REDUCED.
Tax Report Shows Great Shrinkage-
"reminiscences of Isaac Sherman.

"Reminiscences of Isaac Sherman.
A dispatch from New York last night
says:
Much surprise has resulted from the ap-
parent shrinkage of the estate left by Mrss
Elizabeth Sherman. mother of Mrs. Brad
ley Martin. 1t had been generally supposed
by her friends that Mrs. Sherman pos
sessed a fortune of little less than $40. OOO-
OGO, which would pass on to her only
daughter. By the report of the trans
fer tax appraiser it appears that she was
worth about s3,0O0.0OO at the time of her
death, the greater part of which is in this
city.
Mrs. Sherman d'ed at her home. BaIma-
caup, near Inverness. Scotland, October IL,
1903. Her body was brought to New
York for burial last November by Mr. and
since settling the affairs of the estate and
who expect to sail for London next week.
AS Mrs. Sherman left no will Mrs. Mar
tin. her only child and sole next of kin,
will inherit the entire estate.
In his day Isaac Sherman was one of the
most remarkable of men. He made a study
of taxation during his life. and he was
considered the highest authority in the
originators of the free-soil party, which
came into brief existence in 1913.
He was also one of the founders of the
republican party, and it has often been
said that had it not been for him the move
ment which placed John c. Fremont in
the field as a presidential candidate in 1856,
and Abraham Lincoln four years later.
would nevey have been started. He acted
in the relation of personal adviser to Presi-
dent Lincoln during tthe civil war, and he
repeatedly refused to accept high position.
Neither Isaac Sherman nor his wife was
much given to society. but they gratified
every desire of their daughter, Cornela.
who was a great favorrte in her young
womanhood and has been a leader in So
ciety for many years. Miss Sherman was
the closest friend of Margaret Louise
Vanderbilt, and was chosen TO stand up
with her friend when Miss Vanderbilt was
married to the late Elliott F. Shepard,
thirtY-fiVe years ago.
