Another Branch Railroad.

Senator William rinkney Whyte on Sat-
urday last called up and had passed in the
Senate the House act to amend the act
of 1889 incorporating the Washington and
Western Maryland Railroad, which is Bal
timore and Ohio corporation. There was
no opposition manifested and the measure
went through on viva voce vote. 1t will
now go to the President for his signature.
The object of the act is to revive the old
charter Of the Washington and Western
Maryland Railroad In order to permit II to
connect Georgetown, In the District OF Co.
lumbia, with the Metropolitan Southern
Railroad, branch line running through
Montgomery county and connecting with
the Metropolitan Branch Railroad near Lin
den. The bill will grant the Washington
and Western Maryland Railroad eighteen
months in which to construct the road, and
authorizes the company to construct bridge
across the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal about
400 feet east of the Chain Bridge. Under the
original Congressional charter this company
had the right to build line along the north
bank Of the Potomac, but south Of the canal
1t Is claimed that it was impossible to build
the road entirely on the south side OF the
canal and that 1t would be useless to build
the line part Of the way along the south
side of the canal If crossing could not be
secured 30 as to enable the road to connect
with the Metropolitan Southern line north
Of the canal.
The late Senator German was for years
strongly opposed to the passage of the bill
which went through the Senate. 1t is stated
that his opposition was based upon the fact
that the State Of Maryland had large in
terest in the canal. Immediately after the
death of Senator German the bill was
brought up in the House by Gen. Morrell
of Pennsylvania, who had introduced 1t by
request, and it was passed without opposi-
ton. General Morrell stated that the basis
of Senator Germans opposition disappeared
with the sale Of Maryland's interest In the
canal.
When the matter went over to the Senate
In the form of House act Senator Rayner
interested himself In the measure, because
he knew that 1t had in previous years been
opposed. He wished to feel certain that no
interest of Maryland would be jeopardized
by the passage OF the bill At his request
the House act was referred TO the District of
Columbia Committee, and Senator Gallinger
selected Senator Whyte, member of that
committee, as committee of one to report
on the advisability Of adopting report in
favor of the measure. Senators Rayner and
Whyte, after looking into the subject, came
to the conclusion that no Maryland interest
would be affected, so the measure was favor
ably reported to the Senate by Mr.. Whyte,
this being his first important task since he
re-entered the Senate.

Barnes Confirmed as Postmaster.

Benjamin F. Barnee, assistant secretary to
President Roosevelt, was on Saturday last
confirmed by the Senate as Postmaster at
Washington city. The vote was SO to 10,
and by the same vote resolution was de-
feated providing for an investigation of the
Incident In March. when by order of Barnes,
Mrs. Minor Morris was elected from the
White House offices, where she had sought
an audience with the President to urge him
TO reappoint her husband TO position In
the Public Health and Marine Hospital Ser.
vice, from which he had been removed.
The nomination had been pending in the
Senate since the 2nd OF April.
The procedure In the Senate, though be-
hind closed doors, was dramatic In the ex-
IRENE. Senator Tillman went over the tes-
timony he had gathered preparatory to Of
fering it to the Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads, but which was declined by that
committee when it refused TO enter upon an
investigation OF the Mrs. Morris incident.
He took up the evidence and discussed 1t
analytically but dispassonately He had
read the statements of the eyewtnesses to
desk black silk skirt, wrapped in news
paper This was the skirt worn by Mrs.
Morris when she was carried or dragged, as
he claimed, from the White House. II was
torn and muddy, showing clearly the i'm
prints of shoes. 1t was charged by Mr..
Tillman that the lower part Of the woman's
body had been trampled on by the police
officers and the White House attendants, in
GLIDING negro, who had assisted In takimg
her to carriage.
No effort was made by any Senator to de-
fend the action Of the police. Senator Car
ter said that If there had been any assault
upon the woman the police alone we're to
blame.
Two votes were had by the Senate, the
first on resolution by Senator Culberson
providing for an investigation of the incl
dent and the second on the nomination.
After the latter vote Senator Tilman gave
notice that he would repeat In the open
Senate the remarks no had made behind
closed doors. He said he would exhibit the
torn clothing of Mrs. Morris In order that
the country should be informed of the en-
tire affair. He will find the occ aston for
this exhibition In moving for vote on his
resolution asking for an investigation OF the
Washington police force in connection with
the incident.
During his speech Senator Tillman said
that it was peculiar coincidence that the
only eyewitnesses who defended the White
House incident were Elmer Il. Paine, a
newspaper man who had received Naval
Academy appointment for his son, and the
police, whose superintendent, Richard Syl-
vester, had received like favor from the
hands of the President.

Slaughter Of Fowls.

The Baltimore Netos, gives the following
account of wholesale massacre OF ducks on
the premises of Mr.. j. w. M. Kiger, form.
er resident of Rockville, and a gentleman
wei. known in our county. His many ad-
mirers and friends here deeply sympathize
with him In his loss:
"a massacre occurred on the duck farm
of Hon. John William Montgomery Kiger,
on the Liberty road, last Thursday morn
ing. Mr.. Kiger is the Secretary Of the City
Health Department., and puts in his spare
time raising white pekin ducks. He has
about 1900 OF them now on bis farm, which
is about nine miles from the city.
Last Tuesday morning about o'clock
Mr.. Kieer was aroused from his SAUNDERS
by his overseer, who reported that dogs had
been Strengthening the ducks. Mr.. Kiger
seized a shotgun and rushed to the quarters
of the ducks. The ground was strewn with
the dead and dying, but the dogs had es
capped. Mr.. Kiger, the overseer and 10 farm
hands took long hunt, and finally came
within sight of the dogs, which were hiding
In the woods. One was a reddish. brown
and the other black cur. The reddish
brown dog furnished the better target, and
Mr.. Kiger let go. The shot caught the ami.
NAL as be ran. He doubled up, fell down
and then rolled into stream. But the water,
said Mr.. Kiger, seemed to revive him, and
he FASTENED his pace and escaped. The
other dog got away without being wounded.
"Then Mr.. Kiger returned to the scene OF
the slaughter. There he counted Al dead
ducks, worth about 800. The dogs had
killed them simply for the fun of the thing,
and made no attempt TO eat them. Mr..
KiRer has bought more firearms SO as to be
able TO repel any further attacks on bis flock
| hv the dogs."
