With the dual purpose of affording
transportation facilities to Potomac

ton at 18th street and New York ave-
nue.. the Capital Traction Company to-
day applied to the public utilities COM
mission for permission to extend its
lines south on 18th street to c street.

Connecting Track Proposed.
The company also applies for per-
mission to build a connecting track be-
tween the proposed southbound track

Conditions Under Ex-Khedive

ton which may help to explain this
difficult and delicate point Under the

to a house with three doors These
doors were represented by the Egyptian
government. by the khedive and by the
British agency. Each of these three
forces was working more or less tndi-
vidually. Their interests were differ
ent and there was not the cooperation
there should have been. As a result the

these doors they were being led. Now
the three forces have amalgamated, and
their interests are one: one. namely, to

Hussein Kamil is great believer in
education as means Of establishing
good government and prosperity. One
az his most striking declarations was
that he was an earnest advocate of
education for Egyptian women. He
professed deep admiration for Amer

that in the past few years there had
been decided advances made by them
in securing an education which en-

The Governor Establishes
Another Precedent.

ignores customs as old as the State

dents. He has already forcibly dem
onstarted that he cares little for Gus

Executive are concerned, and he set
another precedent yesterday during
DR.. Goodnow's address before the
members of the Senate.
As soon as he learned that DR.. Good
now would address the Senators he
announced his intention of being pres
ent. He scorned the idea of an escort.
however. and just as the commission
chairman took the floor the Executive
slipped into the chamber and took a
seat at one of the Senator's desks.
Several Senators urged the Governor
TO sit on the rostrum with the pre-
siding Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, but he declined to leave
the floor.
At the conclusion of DR.. Goodnow' s
explanation. Mr.. Harrington hurried to
the head of the chamber and warmly
congratulated the chairman on his ad-
dress. Then the Governor wandered
about the chamber greeting legislators,
apparently enjoying himself and UNI
conscious that he was establishing an
other precedent.
