yielded $3.50, 900, 900 worth of
gold, furs and fish, and the terri.
tory has purchased from the
United States in the meantime
merchandise valued at 500, OOO,.

country, was $500, 600, 900, or
more than the purchase money

PRAISE FOR TAYLOR.
Late Rear Admiral Commended by
Secretary Morton.

Secretary Morton has issued a special or
der to the navy, commendatory. Of the serv-
Ices to the country of the late Rear Ad-
miral Henry c. Taylor After stating the
conditions of his early life in the navy
and the official commentator, bestowed
upon him for his part In the battle Of San
tiago and his assumption of the post of
the chief of the bureau Of navigation, the
order has this to say of Admiral Taylor:
His administration of the personnel OF
the navy was marked by many reforms,
which grew out of his conception OF the
military efficiency of the feet He labored
to encourage mobility in the squadrons, en-
ergy and initiative on the part of officers,
and healthy enthusiasm among the enlisted
men.
ut was the navy's misfortune that his
service as chief of the bueau of navigat ton
came so soon to an end, and that SO dis tin
guished career was not crowned by flying
his flag in chief command af1oat the prize
Of every sea officers ambition. In peace
and war his service was distinguished by
high and various abilities. He was noble
type of the accomplished officer and gallant
gentleman. The navy mourns his loss.
LAS a mark of respect to his memory the
flags of the navy yards and stations and
vessels in commission will be displayed at
half-mast from sunrise to sunset, and thir-
teen guns will be fired at noon from the
navy yards and stations on the day after
the receipt of this order"

PERSONAL TAX CONFERENCE.
Law to Be Enforced Against All De
linquents.

Commissioner West held conference this
morning with Collector Davis and Assessor
Darneille looking toward proceedings
against persons who are delinquent in the
payment of personal taxes In view of the
fact that the law Is comparatively new and
has been very generally complied with, no
steps have yet been taken toward distrain-
ing the property Of delinquents as author
lied by law; but, in the opinion of the off,
Gals named, the time has now come when
the law should be enforced.
The statute as originally enacted was diff
ficult of enforcement, inasmuch as it di-
rected the collector of taxes to bring to his
Office for sale all property seized for nom
payment of taxes. Many cases arose where
it was impossible to follow out these direc-
tons, one instance in particular being the
seizure of some tugboats on the river.
The necessity for change in the law was
made apparent to Congress, and now the
law reads that the collector shall secure
the goods and, when possible, store them in
some safe and convenient place until they
are sold at public auction. Consequently
Collector Davis has been authorized to
confer with the District auctioneers with
the view of undertaking the sale of all
property seized for payment of per-
sonal taxes. Collector Davis and Assessor
Darneille will act in harmony under direc-
ton Of Commissioner West in carrying the
law into effect.
1T is necessary to enforce the law" said
Commissioner West this morning, lin order
to be able to answer any questions which
may arise when the Commissioners go be-
fore Congress during the next session. At
the same time the record made by the tax
payers of the District is one which is worthy
of high praise. OF the $4,000 assessed as
personal taxes for the year 1903 only about
$4,000 Is now outstanding, while the re-
ceipts for the fiscal year 1904 have already
about $4,000 or $4,000 to be collected. 1t
Is doubtful whether any personal tax was
ever levied which met with such general
obedience and was collected with so little
friction The proposed enforcement of the
law is matter of justice to those who
have already paid, and must also be taken
In order to allow the Commissioners to
present clean record to Congress-

FOR BRIDGE APPROACHES.
Meeting Held to Discuss the Condem-
nation Proceedings.

A meeting was held this morning at the
office of Col. Miller of the Engineer Corps,
Pennsylvania avenue and 2sth street, for
the purpose of discussing the matter of
condemning property on the Virginia side
of the river to be used as the approach to
the new highway bridge. Under the new
code of Virginia the condemnation pro-
ceedings will have to be conducted by the
board of supervisors of Alexandria county,
of which DR.. Rust is chairman. He was
unable to be present this morning as he
was attacked by boar yesterday and his
leg was badly wounded. The other men,
bers of the board, w. w. Douglass and
William Febrey, were present.
Commonwealth Attorney Crandall Mack
ey, George II. Rucker, clerk of the county
court; George E. Garrett, county surveyor,
and ]. E. Sickles, former surveyor of the
county, were in attendance at the meeting
in the interest of the county. Mr.. Frank
Hume, Mr.. Andrew D. Graham, MIR. Frank
Lyon and Mr. Colvn, manager of the wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon cleo
trio railroad. attended the meeting in the
interest of the property owners along the
proposed line of the approach from the
Alexandria pike to the bridge. Mr.. T. l..
HOlbroOk appeared as the representative OF
the brick yard interests across the river.
Three routes were discussed and the MD
die, or most direct one. was the one favored
by those who were in attendance. The Sc
lection Of this route, 1t was expiaineu,
would mean the saving of at least 3'Uo
linear feet Of travel a day to each team
from the brick yards. The agreemen.
reached by the engineer and the Virginia
interests is tentative. The route selected
is through the old race track property
known as Alexander Island, and It's con-
struction will mean the filling OF con-
siderable portion of the marsh In that
vicinity. On account of the topography OF
the country the earth to be used In ming
the marsh will have to be hauled long
distance and this will materially increase
the cost of construction. 1t is estimated
that the cost of this work will reach wow
The first thing to be done Will De the ap-
Monument of five viewers, who Will look
over the proposed route and report the ap-
proximate cost of the land. This Will pc
done Immediately, as it is the desire OF the
engineers to have the land condemned anu
work started as soon as possible. No.
,nonwealth's Attorney Mackey, who WILL
conduct the proceedings, will do what ne
oap tn expedite matters.

Is. 1S47, and was one of twelve sons of the
late P. w. Browning, of the earliest
residents of the national capital He at
tended the public schools and later was
graduated from Columbian University.
Through the influence of an elder brother
Col. William A Browning, who was secre-
tary to President Johnson, Mr. Browning
was appointed by the latter cadet-at-large
to the West Point Military Academy
Changing his mind about desiring a career
in the army, he resigned after remaining a
year at the academy and entered the law
department of Columbian University, from
which he was graduated at the head of his
class. He was admitted to the bar in 1867
but before he had established himself in
practice he was appointed private secretary
to Andrew Johnson, who had served out his
term as President and was again senator
from Tennessee. He remained in this
capacity until the death of Mr. Johnson
and then entered upon the practice of law
in partnership with Mr.. T. A. Lambert.
prominent attorney of this city. The
partnership was dissolved after a short
time, and Mr.. Browning continued in prac-
tice alone, achieving high standing at the
bar. He retired from practice in 1883 and
went to live on the old Browning homestead
in Prince Georges county.

PLAN ADOPTED.
Arrangements for the Care OF persons
Suspected of Insanity.


Suspected Of Insanity.
Arrangements have been made by the
authorities for providing additional &C
Communications at the Washington Asy-
INN Hospital for the insane suspects
sick prisoners and other special patients
sent to the institution. Instead of erect
ing a separate building additional and
more suitable quarters for these patients
will be made by dividing two large
rooms in the hospital by means OF par
titiOns.
Building Inspector Ashford and Super
intendent Zinkhan inspected the build
ings at the asylum the other day, and
the Commissioners have approved their
suggestions for additional accommoda-
lions.
There are at present two large receiv-
ing wards suitable for OBTAINING insane
suspects. These two rooms will be df-
vided into four rooms. A hall bath room
will be taken out, permitting connection
between the two large wards. Then

used as a store room, adjoining one OF the
strong wards, will be fitted up as cell

ers, etc. BY this plan there will be pro-
vided five cells in the hospital instead of
only two as at present.

will remedy the conditions to a consid
cradle extent for the present until Con-
gress can be induced to provide a suit
