"Yours Tor service in Armenia. Answer
by wire and by letter."
The above telesram. received this mom
inc by Miss ClarxBarton.-preidcnt or the
Kill Cross, la n MibsUiiillal cony of scores
of other telegrams which are beini: received
today at the headquarters o the orcantza
tionr corner of Sevenieenlh and F Mrects
Ml8.s Iiarton said this moraine, that the
"fcociely's officers' have ample" encourace
men so far asyjljnieers for service In far
nway Armenia are concerned.
The aucstlo!iiDt..runds was a more erl
ous one. but they wcre-recelvinc consld
erablcreiicouractrment that the American
people would provide the money for Ibcnc
complishmcnt of-ttxc proposed work.
"We have as a society occupied sixteen
separate fields Jif-xtntreis in tarrymi; 011
our work," Miss barton said.
No DOUBT ABOUT THE CALL.
"When this call came to us, we con
sidered two ttilnss:" First, is-this a call,
from J lie whole American people? Sec
ond, will the American people sutnwrl in
iiithetiuilcruikiiii:?
"We found that there was no doubt
about tlie (.all. It came to us .from the
American Iward which superintends two
.thirds of all 5tu.li work that Is Ik'Idk done
by American. Added to that have tonic
appeals from all sorts or organizations aud
from hundreds of Individuals.
"livery mail brines us. a very laree
number of letters ursine us forward In tlie
project of caving bturvine people In Ar
menia." "What Is the plan forncconiplishlnc such
a work?"
"To take these volunteers such ones as
.re adapted tothe work and the money
whicli tlie American people Trill furnish us
and fro to Armenia, organize and work."
Miss Barton said that she had noticed
that people expected the work to bceiu at
once that Is, with In a few days.
TRANSFER OF HEADQUARTERS.
She explained that It woukl be impossi
ble for such u laree uudertnkiue to be put
into execution In so short a time.
"The underta knur means theactual trans
fer of our whole society headquarters from
this continent to another, and any amount
of details of business Is Involved in the
transfer. No, the people cannot expect that
the work can ho accomplished In any such
short time, as has been Implied, by certain
newspaper statements.
"The project of carrvine on relief work
anioncthehtarvine Armenians iHthelareest
undertnkine that the society has ever
encountered."
Miss Barton says that thevaredeternilned
to entertain no question or thesucceHS of the
underta kinc. and the preliminary pljns will
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
WORKERS WILL RESPOND.
The tieruianent staff at the headquarters
today -was busily encaged In inakiiic ar
raneenients for mobilizing the skilled staff
that -will Initiate the relief work.
These workers are now scattered t hroueh
out the country encaged in the various oc
cupations which sustain them when no
great calamity requires their presence.
Mostor llieiu are already aware that their
serwrcs will le required In desolated Ar
menia during the next six or eight montlLS.
and without exception they have notiried
ilisa Barton that they are arraneinc their
private affairs for a possible year's air
sence. anil wui ne reauy 10 nru iu nei

111 the greatest of relief movements.
The preparations for tlie present under
tjikiieareneceasa rily attended withereater
deliberation and caution than those hitherto
carried out undsr Miss liarion's guidance,
as 111 no former experience of the organiza
tion has it been nccessarv to leave this coun
trv and operate far from its principal
sources of encouraeeiuent.
Tlih, however, does not deter the execu

port of all the National Red Cross Asocia
tiousacting under the convention of Geneva,
in fact, a cablegram of approval from the

Thejury in the condemnation proceedlncs
having been excused Jesterday until Mon
day, Justice Cox filled In the interim by
listening today to the attorneys, who di
lcussed instructions.
Mr. A. K. 'Worthliiirlon f irt.addreKttl the
court. He said the government will be sat
isfied ir tlie jury in instructed to be gov
erned in making its n'ssewments by the
rule laid down in the Kocfc Creek Part
case, with special instruction as to rule
11. He argued that except in WashbiKton
and In Ihe State of Pennsylvania anr
Mrcet In any city that may h.ive been u.cd
for a hundred ears may be Improved and
the entire to-a charged to the abutlinc
property, rated as to the numtt-r or front
leel. lu I'enn)lvaiiLa onlv the original
paving may lis m charged. Even there the
presentence would be Indorsed.
DIVIDIXO Tilt EXPENSE.
It ivas belleTCd. he said, to be 11 fair war
to divide the expenM.' The improvement N
largely for the IvneNt of the property, and
Congress provided that where a p,irt of
the lot of an owner Is divided all points are
coniidered aud a credit Is entered up ac
cording to the relative d.im.ige and benefit.
Here the di-usslon branched off into
IMrsonal expLiualtons and in hirce degree
became colloquial. Tlie attornevs for re
spondem, through Messrs. Sath.1nienvih.0n
aud W. L.. Cole. huited that the govern
ment should prepare the Instructions asked
for " In blai-k aud white." and arter a brier
epitome of prior proccedliiir. and also of
the proposed Inttrttuions. Mr. 'Worthing
ton arose nnd objected to the tone of his
brother Wilson.
lie thought he had nssumed an attitude
that was in a slight degree offensive,
and after a disclaimer from Mr. Wilson
the request for written Instructions was
renewed: whereupon Mr. Worthington
renewed his exceptions to the dictatorial
tone employed by counsel.
lie said this spirit had been manifested
from the Inception of the proceedings
before the ciiief Justice, wherein it hnd
t.ccn insinuated that thc-District Commis
sioners and.tbelr counsel had been conduct
ing the case with the view or delay. The
Commissioners, he said, had striven to
obviate the very difficulties that now con
fronted the attornevs bv i.avinc an amend
ment offered to the original act
PKOCEED WITH THE CASE.
Bo far as lie was concerned, personally,
he would now proceed with the case and
Insist upon the consideration of the issues'
us presented, the government having been '
compelled by the motion f propertv-own-ers
In enter upon the hearing, cveu though
the dirilcultles seemed to be great, and
would pursue the matter until a court or
last resort decides. If It shall, that the ben
efits may not be considered according to
the present construction or the act.
Mr. Wilson retorted brsayincthnt if any
one could br more dictatorial tli.iu his
brother Worthington, he had not yet met him
In this cace. He attributed no improper
motives to either the Commissioners or
counsel, but he did believe and would now
say that the government hail assumed to
conduct the proceedings in their own war.
seemingly regardless of Ihe Interests of
tne property-owners.
The nucstion of benefits and the applica
tion of the law thereto came up In tho
course of the discussion, and Mr. Worthing
ton held that tnc taw makes it otiiigaiory
UDon Ihe Jury to nut onlv consider abutting
property, but all property anywhere that
may derive benefit from the extension of
the streets,
THE RESPONDENTS' REASON.
This. Mr. Wilson said, presented a diffi
culty, bringing in a line or benefits running
away out nobody knovvs where, and consti
tuted a main reason why the respondents
wanted the government to ivrite out the
instructions prayed for.
Justice Cox here made a suggestion, to
tlie effect that the task imposed upon the
Jury is a gigantic one. and he could scarce
ly see how It Is to be discharged suc
cessfully, and by way of comment upon
this phase of the nucstion It was remarked
by counel that It will be necessary to
"visit each piece of property and assess
benefits according to the circumstances
involved.
The outcome of the hearing was the sub
mission of instructions In writing by re
spondents for the consideration or the court.
The only Instructions asked for by the
government were those outliued by Mr.
Worthington. The court adjourned until
Mouday.

It is said that the President may return

To do this It will lie necessary for him.
In all likebood, to leave the light-house

It was understood about the executive
departments today that the President will
lie at nis desk Jlomiay morning.
No uneasiness Is felt by the officials
of the Light-House Board or others as to
the President's' safety, though no defi

Tlie Violet, it is said, is undoubtedly In
some safe anchorage, though as Ihe storm
has prostrated tlie wires in man) directions
no precise news as to her whereabouts Is
obtainable.
There Is reason to believe that in case the
President should not beableto reach Wash

of Ihe stress of weather and the low stage

K.tMtcr Than "lno Miles tin Hour.
Mr. Phillips" WrVTild 'lib' '-MUlslled
With Ji'liic nnd it Half I'nder Cer
t itl ll Conditions.
President O. T. Bunion, of the Capital
i Traction Coiirpaiiy, appeared before Ihe
I Commissioners this mofiing in rtgard to
' tlie proposed lncreate or ieid for street
1 car?. He first asked whether there was
not a law passed by Ccigrefs regulating
the speed of chicles,
i He opposed tLe Increase of sjieed. The
I cable car, as was "well kiown, must run at
II ami- rate at every I nlm, so long as
. tLe grip's l.okl on the cable was main
Italned. l'urthermore, at the very points'
where the danger is great that Is, at
the curves a firm grip must be taken
'In the table and the tars must go rourd
at run speed. -
UB company was able to run the cars at
a greaierspeedlhanthenlncmllesaii hour
now kept, but he thought It was not ad
visable to do so. Home persons, he- said.
were so eager for rapid traruii that they
would want to go at forty-five mile" an
hour, but thjs would be very foolishly dan
gerous. MOMENTUM AT CROSSI.NGB.
In answer to (mentions, he said his cars
now run by momentum merely at crossings
and on meeting other cars.
MaJ. Powell asked It there wits not a
regulation in his coiiiiianr's charter on the
subject of speed. Mr. 1J union answered
there was in the Kocfc Creek (barter, lim
iting it to fifteen mih-i nn hour: nothing In
tne Georgetown charter.
PresJuVut Phillips or the Metropolitan
was present. He said the acts or January
IMS. 1KS7. and February 20. 1S!C, wou.d
permit the Commissioners to make u regu
lation ullowing greater speed- on one road
than a not her and a tone point than another.
He said urder existing conditions his road
was able to run only three and scvhi
eicbths miles In thirty-two minutes when
limited bv the law to nine tulles an hour.
The main difficulties were the delays
by the Anacostla cars running on the same
tracks, the stoppages by the Pennsylvania
railroads trains crossing Ids tracks, slstv
a day: waits ror vehicles ard for passen
ger, and the hill Irom G street t.. New
Vork avenue. He was not asking for any
thing lor the Capital Traction Company,
neither was he asking an exclusive privi
lege. The Metropolitan speed up to O
street wasonlyalioutiivemilesanhoiir.
DELATED BY WAGONS.
M.iJ. Powill njkei ir the carv were i,ol
muih delayed on B street, between Sixth
and Ninth, by market wagons, and he an
swered yes. He also said In answer lo
MaJ. Powell that he was willing to give
Anacostia cars free tranxfers in order lo
kevp Ihem orf his track. It was not. how
ever, a collecting line In the seueof the law
compelling reciprocal transTers.
M r. innilop said he thought the lines were
connecting lines, since It was possible to
run from one road to the other. Itoails that
merely cross. he thought were not connecting
lines.
M r. Phillips said he was running now on a
twentr-elght minute schedule over the
Ninth street line, and to mak- that time he
must be allowed to make at the ends or the
road, where there was little (ross travel.
Ihe time lost by the stoppages referred to.
Endir present coislltions people wcrecom
nlalmng that the elcstrsc tars were "a
slow coach." not much better than horse
cars. He would be satisfied with a
Sthcdule run of nine and a half mile an
hour, wilh the privilege of reaihlnc that
average peed bv running faster. t the ends.
Mr. Dtiiiiopsaid his road was making -7-
nilnute time on tlie Seventh street branch.
K ten mtlcsan hourwereallowed he wuld
certaiuly make It 22 minutes, ami. if 12
nnle. in 18 minutes.
lie thought tho increase Avould be danger
ous.
President K. Y. Baker of the Columbia
road said his company would be glad to
have a slight Increase In the speed allowed
In order to reallv become rapid transit.
Atlheprcsen' ratelheycould do little better
than bv the old method. If twelve mile
an hour were alio wed. thecablecould make
It. but he Ihoaght It would be nnsire. Ten
and a hair to eleven miles. hecouidered the
limit.
Tlie matter was taken under advisement.

Three Weeks More Will Be deed
ed for Tunnel Ime-tltnttloiu
When the engineer exports preivtring a
reiiort on Lydeeker's tunnel adjourn this
afternoon it will not meet again before
thegreat hole Is cleared of water.
"it may take as long as three weeks to
do that," said Gen. Craighlll to a Times
reporter. "1 have ordered Capt. Galllard
to put In another pump and push the work.
"Ton can depend upon it that we are
going to make no balNhearKd Job of this
Investigation, and when thecommisioners
report is finished it will be an ircii-clad one
that will obviate the necessity of any
more suspense about what the tunnel is
good for. There is no particular use
of hurrying the Investigation. The Con
gressional committee Is not jet formed."
In the interim the experts will return
to their respective homes.
Had the investigation not reached the
partially complctid condition It has,
an adjournment would still have been
necessary today, because Mr. Fitzgerald
is compelled to be at his desk in Boston next
Monday.
