SUBMITS NEW SCHEDULE.
Brightwood Line Offers Improved Serv-
ice to Patrons.

The officials of the Brightwood railway
have submitted to the Commissioners new
schedule for the road which provides for
the running of cars every five minutes dur
ing two hours in the forenoon and two
hours in the afternoon, for cars every ten
minutes for stated period after the Ave
minute intervals are ended, and for cars
every fifteen minutes during the remainder
of the day.
! Commissioner West stated today that the
new schedule is not all that the Commits
sioners desired and expected, nor not ex-
actIy the services that Gen. Harries, vice
president of the road, indicated to the Com
missioners that the road would give to the
patrons of the line. Mr.. West said he called
up Gen. Harries on the telephone yesterday
and mentioned this circumstance to that
railroad official Gen. Harries stated with
regard to the matter that the new schedule
submitted is only tentative. and that the
road cannot run an increased number of
cars as promised on account of the lack Of
power. He stated to the Commissioner
that the company is installing new machine
cry at the Brightwood power house, and
indicated that after the new machinery Is
put into operation more cars will be pro-
vided for the patrons of the road, between
the transfer station on 7th street and
Brightwood.
The Commissioners. It Is understood viii
approve the tentative schedule but it Is
stated efforts will be made within q reason
able length Of time to secure additional
cars on the road

PERUVIAN PRESIDENT DEAD.
II
Has Been Ill sfor.ssSome Time at
Areqnipa.

LIMA. Peru. May 7>-President Candamo.
who has been i'll for some time at Arequipa,
died today. 5I.li,,a
The presidentD death Is deeply regretted.
as all political Saefnents regarded him as
an honorable man. devoted to the true In
terests of the country.
Manuel Candamb Was the man accepted
for the provisional presidency of Peru In
1886 by the reyoIutfonfsts under the leader
ship of Nicholas de Pferola and President
Caceres, when both agreed to Stop fighting.
Senior Candamo chose his cabinet from all
is ctions, and he was able to unite the coun-
try Four years later he was elected prest-
dent by great ma t0rity.
The news came as a severe shock to this
legation here, as the minister's wife is
sister of the president, and the presidents
two sons are in college here, Jose at the
Maryland College of Agriculture and Nam
uel Candamo, r.. at the Columbian Uni
versity. Both sons were In the city today,
and 1t was the ministers sad nilsson to
tell them OF their fathers death.
BY the law Of Peru an election must be
called within three months. In the mean
time Senior SerapIo Caideron. second Vice
president, will head the government the
frat vice president having died. Senior
Serapto Caideron vas In charge OF the adj
ministration while the sick president was
at Arequipa. whers he Ind gone TO take the
baths.

CONTROVERSY OVER suBwAYs.
After Delivery Of Plans May Come Liti-
cation.

In connection with the anticipated legal
proceedings which 1t Is predicted the
Washington Terminal Company win insti-
tute against the District Commissioners
to compel them to approve the railroad
company's plans for the construction of
the terminal subways, it is pointed out
that before such proceedings can properly
be commenced the plans for the work will
have to be formally submitted to the Dis
trict authorities. AS stated in The Star
have as yet been presented by the railroad
company, although the method of construc-
ton proposed by the railroad engineers has
been made known in detail to the Commits
sioners.
From indications at present. in the event
the Commissioners refuse to approve the
railroad companys plans for the subway
construction, the terminal company will
take the matter into court and ask for
mandamus to compel the Commissioners to
approve the plans. 1t is expected that
since considerable time has already been
spent in efforts to arrive at agreement
the railroad engineers will shortly submit
detailed drawings of the proposed work to
the District authorities, and further de-
velopmentS will depend upon the action oil
the Commissioners.
1t is learned that the cost of constructing
the subways according to the views OF the
District officials will be about 10000 or
10000 greater than the cost of the work
according to the plans proposed by the rail-
road company. 1t is believed the railroad
company would not object to this additional
expense for the Washington terminal pro-
teet alone. but 1t is pointed out that the
concessions in the case of the washington
project might involve the company In the
necessity of millions of dollars of additional
expense in subway construction In other
cities throughout the country

SEVERANCE WITH DAUGHTERS.
Colonial DANES Discuss ACCESSIBILITY OF
Maintaining Separate Organization.

At noon today the biennial council of the
National Society of the Colonial Danes OF
America adjourned. The next meeting Will
be held In this city two years hence. at the
call of the president.
Immediately after luncheon the delegates
to the number OF several score repaired to
Arlington national cemetery to participate
In the ceremonies IN connection with the
placing IN Arlington House there the his
torical book containing the names Of the
soldiers and sailors OF the United States
who fell during the late war with Spain.
The book, which Is engrossed on velium.
besides containing the name OF every man
who gave his life for his country during
that period of international hostility, has
devoted page to Ensign Worth Bagiey,
who was the first officer of the United
States service to lose hts life in the con-
fiict. The volume will be in the care Of the
superintendent of the cemetery and may be
seen and inspected at any time by appli-
cation to that official. 1t will repose In
indestructible material, and in such po-
sition in the house that all visitors will be
able to at any time see 1t.
1t Is rumored that there was considerable
discussion during the sessions of the coun-
ell this year as to the adyisability OF re-
questing the members who were members
also OF the Daughters of the American
Revolution to either sever their connec-
draw from the DANES. This proposition
was vigorously fought. the protestants
claiming that to disbar from membership
the members of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution would be disastrous
to the growth OF the younger association
and an injustice to the daughters. The
faction working for the adoption of the
proposition maintained that the exclusive
ness Of their society demanded that they
be not associated in any way with any
other society and that membership IN both
organizations precluded the members from
absolute fealty to either. The discussion
resulted in no action, and daughters whose
ance stors were active in colonial times
are still eligible to membership In the
more exclusive danes.
Another matter that claimed the atten-
ton of the council was the withdrawal
from exhibition at the National Museum
OF the relics of colonial times, placed there
by members of the danes and by state
organizations of that society. One of the
delegates wished to learn what was pro-
posed to do with them IL they were taken
from the National Museum, and the author
of the motion to withdraw them replied
that she didn't know what she would do
with hers unless she hid them under her
bed, for they were too valuable to leave
lying unprotected about the house. The
motion did not prevail.

TO TEST CAPACITY.
Chief Belts Experiments With Two
Cisterns on Pennsylvania Avenue


Chief Engineer William T. Belt of the fire
department has arranged to conduct at 6
o'clock tomorrow morning a test of the
capacity Of the two cisterns located at 10th
street and Pennsylvania avenue and at 9TH
street and Pennsylvania avenue, respective
ly. Chief Belt considers that the business
blocks In the vicinity of these two cisterns
are more liable to danger from great con-
Migration in the city, and it is with the
idea of affording ample protection to the
buildings in the part Of the city referred to
that he will ascertain the extent Of the
water supply.
Chief Belt Is DESTROYS of ascertaining
whether or not there 1 ssuffcient water In
the cisterns to feed two of the large metro
politan fire engines that have lately been
installed in the department, and, in addi-
ton, to supply the other fourteen engines
now in service here. The two large metro
poitan engines are each capable of dis
placing 100 gallons of water per minute
Chief Belt viii have two of these engines
pump from the csterns at 10th street and
Pennsylvania avenue and at 9TH street and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, with lead Of four
lines Of hose from each engine, which would
give the department, in case of large con-
