TRACK TO THE NAVY YARD.
Action of the Senate and of Chief
Justice Clabaugh

The local navy yard will be afforded
railway connection with the outside worlt
by reason of two events which transpireo
yesterday. The Senate passed a bill re.
quiring the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company to con
Struct new track connection. compro-
missing with the road by including an ap-
propriat ton of $1,000 with which to buy
the right of way over private property
and Chief Justice Clabaush in the District
Supreme Court granted a temporary in
junction restraining the road from remov-
ing the present connection, or in any way
interfering with its use. the injunction
being made returnable March 20 for argu-
ment. This gives plenty of time for the
House Ia pass the bill and for the Presi-
dent to sign it.
Had not both of these things been done
yesterday ii is likely that the tracks
would have been taken up today and the
yard shut off from the world. This would
have been necessary if the railroad wish
ed TO comply with the law giving to the
road million and half dollars to aid
in the removal of grade crossings Incl

CHORAL SOCIETY.
New Conductor Heinrich Hammer
Makes Good IMPRESSION.

Heinrich Hammer. the new conductor Of
the Washington Choral Society. made his
first public appearance in Washington
last night. when he led the organization
| through the intricacies of Gounod's Re
demption The accompanying orchestra
OF forty-eisht pieces composed large
ly Of Washington amateurs assisted by
fifteen professionals from tie Marine
Band
The chorus was unfortunate in having
many of its efforts go almost entirely to
waste. since the stage at Carroll Hall is
narrow and deep. and the singers We're
grouped at the back with the open flies
EdWninS close above them to enSulf all
the piano paSSa SeS. d mere murmur rea CHI
ing the audience The orchestra and the
SololStS We're more fortunate. for the stage
IS built on the old-fa shioned plan. with
a long apron projecting far into the
auditorium. SO that these performers We're
virtually out among the audience and all
their tones co,hd he heard distinctly, eX-
cept in the back of the hall.
But in spite of handicaps. Mr.. Hammer
demonstrated his ability d conductor,
and ii could easily be imagined that in
suit Die auditorium the results would have
been far better. Charles belmont the
basso. and Miss Florence Hinkle the So
prano. both from New York. carried off
the honOrs soloists. Nicholas Douty,
tenor. of Philadelphia, was well received,
and Miss Clara Drew of Washington
handled the cOntralto part excellently.
She and Miss Hinkle were assisted in the
trio o: the Holy Women by Miss Emily
l.. Blazer Of Washington. who displayed
remarkably fine voice. John Humbird
Duftey of New York formerly of Wash
lnSton. was the baritone Melville D.
ilensey. tenor, and 7. y. Murray. basso.
both OF Washington, sang incidental solos.
The accompanist on piano and organ was
Arthur ID. Mayo
The work of the amateur orchestra was
surprisingly good in many passages. Is
pecially in THE March to Calvary"
which was given with majestic volume
and in The Approach of Darkness, after
the crucitiXion.
Before the oratorio the semi chorus
sang Blessed Are They from Mendels-
sohn's st. Paul" as Il tribute to the
memory of Father Stafford. who was an
ardent supporter of the Choral Society.

BUOY FoULED AND DRAGGED.
Paint Also Removed From Big Spars
by Drifting Ice.

The officers of the steamer Wakefield
report that something has fouled the buoy
at Whitestone, a short distance below the
White House and has dragged it mile
or more out of position. Yesterday after
noon it was lying in deep water near
Gunston wharf. with only the tip of the
long wooden spar showing above the sur
face of the water. The attention of the
lighthouse authorities for the district will
be called to the absence of the buoy from
its proper position.
While the drifting ice about the middle
of the month did not disturb the position
of any of the buOys in the vicinity of this
city it cut and SCARED them until not a
vestige of paint was left on the big spars.
One of the lighthouse service steamers
will visit this city during the coming
month and will repaint and remark the
buoys to conform TO the published sailing
directions for the Potomac river
