the intention of giving a general bat
tie or retiring. They were beaten at
Lungtushan and retreated from An

almost impossible. It is believed here
that General Kuropatkin cannot now

following Endorsement:
desire to express my regret that the

per cent, nothing would be taken out of the
current revenues on this account except tba
comparatively small amount needed for
the sinking fund payment at the end of the

ehues could be deposited in the national
panKs' which are government depositories.
uEoer such regulations as would safeguard
the deposits. ~
1T seems to me very desirable Tho. .,

taker

requesting this appropriation, the Commits

Maj. Sylvester's letter on the subject is
as follows: o. p tai-g
THE st. Louis Exposition Company,
through the efforts of your SUPERINTENDENT
of police, who has the honor of being presi-
dent OF the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, has allotted $4,000 square
feet of space in the Educational building
for general police exhibit under direction
OF the department of social economy. This
exhibit promises to be most interesting and
instructive, not only to the public but to
the police officials of the world and al
ready the space designated has been taken
up by citizens of this country and many
from abroad for the purposes recited.
1t includes display of statistics Of
crime, criminal implements, modern police
equipments, studies of criminals from
measurements and photographs, the evolu-
ton OF the police officers, methods of treat
ment of the prisoner, means for the pre-
vention Of crime, the finger print system,
demonstrations of the BertilIon method of
criminal measurement and many other fea-
lures. The head of the District of Colum-
bla police department, being the father of
the movement and possessing here the ma
tonal bureau of criminal identificaiio lion, con-
tanning many implements of crime, interest
ing criminal studies and statistics, charts
and pictures. it is desired that it may be
afforded the means to participate in the

quest that the honorable the Commission
ers recommend that appropriation of
S4OO be made for such purpose.
The municipalities of this country will
be enabled to participate, the expenses in
cident thereto being covered from the state

extend railway facilities to a large section
of our city, and that thousands of our resi-
dents have been seriously inconvenienced
because IF the settled policy of these COM
panies to refuse to construct a cross town
line SO long as the residents in the north
east section are forced to patroniZe these
roads to reach the business section of our
city.
In the report of the Commissioners re-
ferred to they state that a cross town
road would be desirable Improvement
and to obtain this desirable Improvement
they suggest the extension of the lines OF
the Capital Traction Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. This is advised. notwithstanding the
fact that the SERGE on the HI street line
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. the only route from the north
east to the business section of our city.
has provoked the continuous protest Of
those who are forced to patronize that line.
1t is also fact that the patrons of the
various extensions CT the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company have never been
afforded adequate facilities, and when the
frequent complaints made to the Of
ftcials the excuse is invariably given that
the extension does not pay. and so long 'as
the expense exceeds the receipts the COM
pany is unable or unwilling to render bet
ter service.
THE facts. therefore. disprove the asser-
, ton of the Commissioners that street rail-
way consolidation in the District has bene-
fitted the people, and that lines extended
under monopOlistic conditions afford great
er facilities to the public.
Our desire for the material advancement
of our city; the extension of necessary i'm
provements and transportation facilities to
all sections of our District regardless of
the social status OF the residents thereof Is
counter to that of the Commissioners who
in this instance have disapproved a meas
ure which provides for the construction of
much-needed railway line by a RESPONSE
bic company. under a guarantee of pro-
viding better service than is rendered by
either of the local railway companies
I'VE therefore recommend that the vari-
Gus citizens assoeia tions, the Board of
Trade and the Business Mems Association
be invited to cooperate with this body in
petition to Congress for the enactment of
Serate bill 1888 such legislation as will
authorize the construction of street rail-
way line in this District by the Great Falls
and Old Dominion Railway Company under
such conditions as will be just and equi-
table to the people
