PLACE FOR MR.. CoRTELYoU.
Said to Have Accepted Presidency OF
Consolidated Gas Company.

While it is pretty generally settled that
George B. Cortelyou will go to New York
to become president of the Consolidated
Gas Company of that city, the former
Secretary of the Treasury maintained his
custom of reticence today and declined
to make statement al to his plans. That
he has accepted The offer, however. leaked
out in New York yesterday from officials
Of the gas company
During the past few years Consolidated
Gas has been without a president. its af-
fairs having been conducted by board
of trustees. of which Harrison f. Gawtrey
IS chairman. The attention OF the big
financers of New York was attracted to
Mr.. Cortelyou when he was there during
the fall Of 1907 working to avert the
panic.
The manner in which he conducted
himself at that time earned for him the
respect and confidence of the New York
financial interests, with the result that
he has had several flattering offers.
With Mr.. Cortelyou will go his secre-
tary. H. o. Weaver. who has been Mr..
Corteiyou's close and confidential assist
ant for seven years. Mr.. Weaver went
to the White House about a year and a
half before Mr.. Cortelyou left II to be-
come Secretary OF Commerce and Labor.
and has been with him ever since.

WIRE SERVICE SOON RESTORED
THROUGH COMMUNICATION Is
PROMISED BEFORE NIdHTFALL.
Telegraph Lines Have Worked Hard
on Reconstruction - Conditions
to Baltimore.

The RAPID melting of snow throughout
Maryland yesterday and today has great
~ aided reconstruction of telegraph lines
between here and Baltimore, the direct
outlet to the north and east. The West
ern Union and the Postal telegraph COM
panies expect to be doing fair business
in a direct way tonight.
The Postal already has a line through
to Pittsburs through Sandy Spring, ELL
colt City and Cumberland. by which New
York and Chicago may be reached more
directly than at any time since the big
card of March Sd.
Reports from the Western Unions line
from Baltimore and from Washington,
working toward each other, were only
half mile apart at noon. By this even
ing the cables will be joined near Laurel
and through service established.
The southern wires of both companies
are working we'll. They had little or no
trouble In getting messages through last
night and this morning. subject TO the
delay caused by the necessity TO send all
business that way.
Reports from linemen working up
through Prince George county, Nd, are
that snow drifts are ten feet deep in
some places. At many points they have
been unable to proceed with wagons.
The first scout sent out by the Postal
March a, to go over the route and report
upon conditions, has not been heard from.
1t is thought that when he found he
could not go through with g. team he
started out on foot. Owing to the lack
Of telephone communication he has been
unable to report.
Two other scouts sent out have got
word back through trainmen and by mail
that conditions are almost impossible to
describe.
Word has come In that the snow melted
rapidly yesterday and this morning, and
that roads, impossible on Saturday, are
now in comparatively good condition.

TO MAKE INTERESTING TEST
LIGHTS TO BE PLACED IN MID.
DIE OF THE AVENUE.
Wires Recently Used for ulumina-
ton Will Be Utilized-Satifactor
Trial on Massachusetts, Avenue.

Before the wires used for the illumina-
ton Of Pennsylvania avenue during the
inaugural period are taken down trial
will be made of electric arc lights In the
middle of the avenue.
Electrical Engineer Walter G. Allen has
been DESTROYS Of testing the efficiency of
lights placed in the middle Of the broad
thoroughfares of the city, and the wires
strung for the recent illumination Of the
avenue will give him the opportunity,
without much added expense. If the plan
proves successful a row of arc lights
will probably be placed down Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The experiment of placing electric lights
in the middle of the street, recently tried
on Massachusetts, avenue between 9th and
fifth streets, has been satisfactory, accord
ing to a report made this morning by
Electrical Engineer Allen to Commissioner
Mcfarland.
Temporary installation will now be taxi
en- down and If the plan is permanently
adopted handsome iron posts will be
placed In the middle of Massachusetts
avenue.
Mr.. Mcfarland announced that it was
part of the experiment work in connec-
ton with the general scheme Of improve
ment of all the street lighting which he
has been maturing with the electrical
engineer, ana tnat similar Iurthor expert
ments would be made on Pennsylvania
avenue and elsewhere.
The object is to ascertain which is the
best method Of improving the lighting of
streets and avenues of the city, now that
the suburban streets and roads have been
generally lighted.
Mr.. Mcfarland said that the electrical
engineer had given great deal of time
and thought to the problem and was
working out a general plan, a part OF
which has been already submitted 10 the
Commissioners. After seeing what car
be done with different types of lights
and arranging them in different posi-
tons. the electrical engineer will be
ready to complete his recommendations
to the Commissioners.

POST OFFICE RUSH IS over
INAUGURAL BUSINESS BREAKS
ALL RECORDS.
Blizzard Helped in Piling Up the
Troubles Of Clerks and Carriers.
Flood Of Picture Cards.

The clerks in the delivery and mailing
divisions Of the Washington city post
Office are just beginning to draw breath.
Postmaster Barnes. Superintendent Hay
cock Of the delivery division. and Super
intendent Springer Of the mailing division
are also in need of rest. They thought
they knew something about rush condi-
tons, having seen several Christmases,
but the Inauguration game proved to be
the limit. And the blizzard helped.
The trouble began March 4 and kept
up until last night. Today the bushes.
of the Office has returned to it's normal
condition, except for the increase In spe'
cial delivery business. which will remain
far above normal until the telegraph
wires get in shape again.
For instance. the average number OF
special delivery letters delivered in
Washington during a week is about 5000
Last week more than 10000 were deliv-
cred. And the flood of specials is still
nigh.
On March 1900 pieces of mail were
delivered in Washington on one eight
the biggest days in February showed a
delivery OF $4,000. Beginning March 4
and continuing through the 18th. the de-
lay in the trains caused hundreds OF
sacks OF mail to pile up. Nearly all the
clerks worked overtime. Some Of the
trains from the east. bringing heavy
mails, were eight and ten hours late.
One OF the greatest setbacks encoun-
tered by the delivery department occurred
on the morning Of the 4th. when three
trains due about midnight were not in at
7:30 o'clock, when the carriers started
out on their early delivery. AS Thurs
day was q half holiday. this made extra
work for the carriers on the 5th.
In the mailing division conditions were
worse. So great was the congestion that
1000 bags OF unsent mall were lying in
the Office Saturday morning. The 6. eat
est flood was in picture postal cards. The
affairs of the mailing division went along
smoothly until the 9th. when nearly every
visitor In Washington seemed to take a
notion to mail picture cards.
Additional writing tables had been set
up in the corridors on the ground floor of
the post office. and they were crowded all
day long. 1t Is estimated that between
$4,000 and 10000 picture post cards were
sent out during the inauguration rush.
On the night Of the 4th about 1900
pieces were sent out on the midnight
mail On the night Of the 9Th the out
put at midnight was 1900. The aver
age midnight output during the winter
is between L., OOO and 5000 pieces.
Over at the Union station. where a tenn
porary post Office station was established
with four clerks working sixteen hours
each, a land Office business was done.
$4O4.65 worth Of one-cent stamps being
sold. while quite a number of money or
