TALKED To HIS CHIEFS.
Secretary Stratus VIII Hold Semi
Monthly Conferences.

A new departure has been made In ad-
ministrative affairs Of the Department OF
Commerce and Labor by Secretary Stratus.
who assembled yesterday all the chiefs OF
bureaus Of that department for what IL
termed the first cabinet meeting" It 10
believed BY the Secretary that the efhciency
of the department will be Increased and
the public service largely promoted by hold
ing regular conferences of chiefs Of bu-
reaus. The business assigned to the sew
eral bureaus and the relations OF one to the
others being discussed In this manner. he
thinks, 10 likely to result In preventing du-
plication Of work. In keeping the Secretary
fully informed OF the progress of the public
business and bringing to him the ready ad-
vice and prompt cooperation of his prin-
cipal assistants whenever needed.
1t was explained by the Secretary today
that there was no purpose to aggrandlze
any one bureau: on the contrary, 1t was de-
sired to increase the Importance and add to
the strength OF ali by coordinate and har-
monious operations, thus securing COM
bined momentum that would be creditable
to the entire department and advantageous
to the general public. 1t Is proposed for
the present 10 hold these cabinet meet
ings'' twice q month.

LOCAL PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Mr.. Madden Wants to, Know Abou
Their Cost and Profits.

Representative Madden of Illinois, author
Of the 75-cent gas bill and the universal
transfer measure, upon which a number of
hearings have been held by the House Dis
trict committee, today introduced a joint
resolution requesting and directing the bu-
reau of corporations of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor to collate Information
and report concerning the public utilities
in the District of Columbia.
By the terms Of the resolution the bureau
is directed to investigate and ascertain
1.-THE cost of the manufacture and distribu-
ton of gas and electric light by the COM
panies engaged in these enterprises in the
District of Columbia; the price at which
these commodities are sold; the amount of
money invested in each; the gross and net
earnings in detail; the amount of bonded
debt and the capitalization; the amount of
interest charges and dividends paid; the
various charges made for telephone service;
the number OF telephones in use; the char
acter of the service; the capital employed
In the service; the bonded debt and capital
ization. etc.
1.-The number of miles of street railways
ground and overhead trolleys, the cost of
construction and equipment per mile, the
conditions under which they are operated.
the character Of the service rendered, the
amount Of fare charged. the capital en-
ployed. the cost OF duplicating the physical
properties OF the companies" etc.
Section of the resolution authorizes and
directs the bureau. in order to make a
comprehensive investigation. to engage ex-
pert accountants to examine the books of
the public service corporations referred to,
and further directs the bureau to give rea-
sonable times for hearings IL they are
deemed necessary and to incur any neces-
sary expenses.
The resolution demands that the in
formation secured as the result Of the in
vestigation shall be transmitted to the
Sixtieth Congress within thirty days after
that body convenes.
Representative Morrell Of Pennsylvania
introduced a resolution on this order some
weeks ago, but Mr.. Madden thinks 1t Is not
comprehensive enough and SO introduced
one of his own.

CONDITIONS AT FORT BROWN
THE NIGHT OF THE RIOT.

The Senate committee on military af-
fairs was In session considering bills be-
fore it this morning until 1880 o'clock.
SO that there was but q short time re-
naming in its morning session for taking
testimony In the Brownsville anair.
Company was again the special subject
for the inquiry and witnesses were ex-
amined to develop the movements OF that
company, the condition of guns and other
matters Of interest relating to the night
Of August Is and to the following morn
ing.
It was in Company c barracks that the
gun racks were broken open. and other
gun racks were injured by pounding on
the night Of the 18th, when the first SER
geant. who held the keys to the gun
racks did not show UP promptly to open
them. The testimony OF Quartermaster
Sergeant Murray was to the effect that
all the pistols were in his charge that
night. there being only eleven Of them
belonging to the company. They were In
the storehouse locked up.
Sergt. Carlisle went on the stand ana
gave some additional testimony to the
effect that he had been unable to call the
roll on the night OF tho 18th because Of
the darkness, and for that reason the
men were counted only.
Acting First Sergt. Samuel W. Harley Of
Company c stated that he had been in the
service sixteen years, lacking fourteen
days, had been wounded at Ell Caney and
had served in the Philippines. He was
asleep when the firing began at Browns
Vile. and told of his efforts to get into
communication with his company COM
mander IN order that he might get instruc-
tions on that night. He heard Major Pen
rose say that II they could not find the non
commissioned officer in charge Of the gun
racks to break them open and get the guns.
One gun rack was broken open and the
others were hammered on in such way
that all had to be taken to the shop to be
Strengthened and fixed up. He said that
when the company formed in front of the
barracks forty-four men were in line and
thirteen men were absent, but accounted
for. Later when "cossack posts were
established to guard the fort he was sta
toned at the gate The next morning Capt.
Mechlin started out a few minutes before
O'Clock to inspect arms, and the guns that
Harley saw him inspect were all found to
be in a satisfactory condition.
He stated that a soldier expert in clean
ing guns could not clean a gun after being
fired several times ready for inspection in
side of twenty or twenty-five minutes, and
the slower men would be thirty or thirty
five minutes.
The committee then took a recess until
this afternoon.

looking to public morals, license the saloon
business.
A wealth of opinions from the higher
courts bearing on these contentious was
quoted In the decision. Some OF the decis.
Ions quoted showed that both federal and
state courts had ruled that no form OF
gambling. such as lotteries. etc, could be
legalized. since they are q peril to the well
fare OF society. In this connection Judge
Artman pointed out many OF the same
courts had held that the sale Of intoxicants
was q menace to the welfare Of the COM
munity and held, therefore. that II 1t was
right to declare gambling unlawful II also
was right to declare liquor dealing unlaw-
