( The inclusion of Gen Hall. who is n
son-in-law of Senator Blackburn. the
ranking minority member of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs. and the
newest appointee on the Isthmian Canal
/ Commission, met some opposition in the
House yesterday. 1t was voiced BY Mr..
Prince. Of Illinois. member Of the House
! Committee on Military Affairs. The pro-
vision was inserted by the Senate and
when the conference report came I'D in the
House Mr.. Prince moved to concur in the
Senate amendments with an amendment
| which would exclude from the operation
of the bill any officer of the class de-
scribed whose civil war service was
rendered as a cadet al the Military Acad-
cmy.
He pointed out that Gen. Hall was not
appointed a cadet until September, 1861.
and he protested against giving him the
benefit of the policy OF retiring officers
who served in the civil war at one grade
higher rank because OF eight months at
tendance upon the Academy in the period
covered by that conflict. Mr.. Prince pro-
tested against putting Gen. Hall on the
list with such veterans as Daniel z.
Sickles and Oliver O. Howard
Gen. Halls Valor and his record were
defended by Messrs. Hay, Of Virginia:
James. of Kentucky. and GrosvenOr, OF
Ohio. Attention was called 20 the fact
that he was "a fighting soldier. one of
forty-three holding medals of honor for
distinguished gallantry on the field and
for thirty years had never had station
east of the Mississippi River.
The House cOncurred in the Senate
amendment by an overwhelming major
ity. only nine members joining Mr.
Prince in a demand for the yeas and
nays.
This left but one item In disagreement,
and a further conference was agreed to-
That item authorizes the President to
appoint as first lieutenant, mounted. re-

DISTRICT BILL TO PRESIDENT
Two Reports This Year by Gas and
Electric Light Companies.
This is Done in order To Give the
teIliEent Basis on Legislation.

The Senate and House have adopted the
conference report on the District Of Co
Iumbia appropriation bill. The measure
viii now go to the President for his ap-
proval. The conference report being
unanislous. no change in the bill was
made by either House. It is expected
that the bill VIII be signed and become
law before the end OF the week.
Some question was made yesterday as
to the effect Of the amendment placed in
the bill in regard 10 the reports Of the
gas and electric light companies. It is
not generally understood that the amend
ments provide a general law requiring the
reports regularly every year hereafter.
In addition to this a clause was put on
making it necessary for the companies to
make their first reports for the current
year by December +. 1867, for the year
ending December 81. 1896
This WAS done In order that when the
subcommittee Of the Committee on APP
propratiOns takes up. next December. the
task Of framing the District appropriation
bin. they may have before them this re-
port Of the gas companies and electric
light companies. and deal with the price
Of gas and electric lighting of the streets
Of Washington inteIligentlg. There has
been heretofore a want of Information in
this matter and il is believed that now the
way has been found TO get at an the
facts connected with such contracts. At
this time the District is paying XL2S a
year for the gas consumed in each street
lamp provided with a mantle burner. and
the American Lighting Company. Of Bal
timOre 500 for the items OF lighting and
cxtinguishing. breakage. painting posts
and rent Of the mantle lamps There is
a desire TO know whether there is re-
bate to the gas company in this latter
amount, and IL is believed progress has
been made toward getting at the facts.
Another reason for the supplementary
amendment as to reports for the current
year is TO get before the public a list Of
the stockholders of the gas and electric
light companies during and prior 20 the
time that efforts have been under head
way before Congress TO secure legislation
In the interests OF the public It has
been repeatedly charged that a consider
able amount of stock has been held by
members Of Congress. With sworn re-
ports giving the names of stockholders
Senators and Representatives who have
been slandered by this accusation will
now have an opportunity TO show their
entire innocence.
