Street Car Company Moves
Tracks Near MeIan Bridge.

The Topeka street railway this
morning began to relocate about 200
feet Of their tracks out of the way nf
the excavations for the Melan bridge
extension. The street railway people
expect that the work will take about
two days Meanwhile the extension
work will be practically shut down. A.
D. johnson, in charge of the bridge
work, last night dimissed all of his
men except those who are permanent
ly employed by him. Some them are
constructing the wooden towers for the
"schoop shower tramway but the
structures can not be put up until the
tracks and the trolley are out of the
way.
A movement has been started to buy
off the negroes of the 81 Street Bap-
fist church who have bought the M. NJ.
Hale property at the northeast corner
of Park and Harrison streets with
view of erecting a church thereon. A
neighborhood committee and a COM
mittee from the Civic club will meet
committee from the negro congregation
Charles Mendenhall, tonight to see if
they can not arrange the matter with
out friction. The white people in the
neighborhood of the proposed negro
church are objecting firmly and united
ly to its location. 1t is hoped that the
Civic club committee may find another
place for the church suitable to all con-
cerned, and that the negroes may ac-
cept the proposition of the neishbor
hood committee.
At the Civic club which will meet
again at Luken's opera house tonight
several important matters will be taken
up The Fred Voiland proposition 20
make the club fees upon a sliding scale
will be discussed among other things
Mr.. Voiland's plan is to allow whoever
can afford it to pay SIS a year dues and
so on down to the regulation 81 per
year or 81 for initiation and 81 yearly
dues but that every one should have
equal privileges in the club regardless
of the dues he pays. In this way, Mr..
Voiland thinks that enough money may
be kept in the treasury for all of the
expenses of the club

Secretary Meyer Succeeds.

Secretary MEYKR, opposed a. he was
at hrst by the civilian bureaus Of the
service and by their powerful hackers
in Congress, has at last effected a re-
organization which has tie efficiency Of
the feet ahoat for its object.
Although the general details II his
scheme have been public property for
less than six months, il has come 10 pass
that the House committee h now in full
accord with him and the Senate commit
tee practically 40. The committee Of the
latter body has yielded ungraciOusly and
with reluctance. There are gentlemen
there who for years have held the desti-
niss Of the navy in their hands and to the
extent Of their power have operated Il
a. an adjunct Of the navy yards. There
are statesmen there to-day who II they
hsd their way would have Just ships
enough to keep the navy yards busy
tinkering at inferior hulks and inciden-
tally employing large numbers Of politi-
cal strikers in the interests Of favored
Congressman.
All this has changed. Secretary
MEYER has launched the propaganda OF
a fighting feet, Of navy yards for the
ships, and Of military control Of a mill
tary branch. he has surrounded him
self with line officers, navigaton, engi-
neers, ordnance experts, stratagists and
