organized attempts of government en-
ployes TO influence legislation or to

REMAINING DISTRICT STREETS.
A Substitute for the Commissioners
Plan Proposed.

Mr.. F. W. Franklin has written to Chair
man Babcock of the House District commit
tee suggesting new plan of street nomen-
clature as a substitute for the scheme rec
commended by the Commissioners. The plan
of the latter is to name the east and west
streets of the northern sections of the city
after eminent Americans, beginning with
names of one syllable and running through
the alphabet of first initials. The plan sug-
gested by Mr.. Franklin comprises six sets
of alphabetically arranged names designed
for the streets running east and west-three
sets for streets north of the Capitol and
three for those south of the Capitol.
The first group consists Of the names OF
American cities, the second of distinguished
Americans, and the third American trees,
flowers and shrubs. These are for the
streets lying north of the Capitol. Thus B
street would become Baltimore street, F
street would be Frankfort street, and 8
street Sacramento street, etc. The names Of
distinguished Americans would be applied
north of the Boundary, and trees farther
north still to the District lines.
For the southern streets the first group
consists of geographical names such as AL
legheny, Chesapeake, etc.; the second the
names of American Indian tribes, and the
third American battleflelds. Mr., Franklin
says his system is far more dignified than
that of the Commissioners, and would give
the capital city a truly national plan OF
street nomenclature.

PREPARATION OF TRANSPORTS.
It is Thought That They May Be In
tended for the Orient,

A special dispatch from San Francisco
says that orders have been received from
Washington to have the transports Warren
and Meade. which have been lying idle for
some weeks, at once prepared for sea. This
makes five large army transports now being
made ready for immediate service.
The Sherman. Crook and Buford are
practically ready. having been overhaulsd
docked and coaled in the last few days.
They now have half crews on board and
could be sent to sea at two days notice
Work was begun yesterday on the Warren
and the Meade which must be docked,
cleaned and painted and receive stores.
The Sheridan Is now at Honolulu bound
this way and should arrive early next week,
making q sixth vessel available for trans
porting an army. In round numbers 1000
mon with their equipment could be carried
by tho Sherman, Crook. Buford, Meade and
Warren.
Mystery surrounds the plans of the War
Department. That the transports are not
destined for Panama is evident from the
fact that the local depot Is being loaded
with supplies for cold climate. The size
OF the contemplated expedition Is far in
excess of what Colombian war would
require. and San Francisco is much further
from the isthmus than New York or New
Orleans. It is believed by army and navy
men that the transports are soon to sail
for the orient and that some Of the troops
will be used to strengthen the legation
guards at Pekin and Seoul.

EIGHT SECTIONS DISCUSSED.
Consideration Of Panama Treaty Re-
sumed by Senate Committee.

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons today continued consideration Of the
Panama canal treaty. Senator Morgan did
not proceed with his general review of the
treaty, but the document was taken up for
consideration section by section, and when
the committee adjourned at noon eight sec
tions had been read and discussed.
The democratic members suggested a
number Of amendments intended for the
purpose of strengthening and making more
certain and absolute the control of the
United States over the canal. None Of
these changes was definitely acted upon,
but they were all noted, and the republican
members indicated a willingness to give
them careful consideration.
There was some discussion of the general
policy of amending the treaty. and the re-
publican members assured their democratic
colleagues that the majority had no inten-
ton of standing out against alterations
where they might seem desirable. On the
contrary, they declared their willingness to
make changes which would improve the
treaty, and it was generally agreed that
under the present circumstances this gov
ernment would be able to secure any terms
which might be considered requisite to se-
cure ratification Of the treaty. 1t Is now
believed that the committee will be able to
conclude consideration of the convention
and to report 1t early next week.
