Because. while they afford equal, if not better accommodation for their business, the cost of obtaining them would be but a small per centage of the estimated cost of those recommended in the report. The object of the change in the location of the two roads now entering the city is to get rid of the nuisance created by the occupation of the streets and public grounds by the B. & P., and to pre- vent a like nuisance by the B. & O., as that por- tion of the city occupied by its tracks become thickly settle And also to allow of the re- = by purchase of the supposed titles of two Frenchmen—Cochet and Landrean—to one third of the famous nitre beds of Pera and Bolivia, which, it will be remembered, were the occasion of the war with Chili, have become the promoters of a vast scheme w “millions in it.” in case they can get the United States com- mitted to interference against Chili, which, victorious over both Peru and Bolivia, proposes by way of indemnity to appropriate to its own use the nitre beds to which the Peruvian com- pany lays daim. The plan is to compel Chili to accept from the company a cash indemnity in lieu of territory, and leave the rich mineral de i ‘niators.

Among the contractors against whom suits will be instituted are Gilmer & Saulisbury, a very rich firm, whose members are J. J. Gilmer, Monroe Sanlisbury and 0. J. Saulisbury.

Certain it is, that the power will not be used to Impose unnecessary urdens upon these corporat It follows, therefore, that, while the public interest should primarily be consulted in making the contem- plated change and improvements, the interests of the railroads should not be disregarded, lest in doing so a powerful opposition should be aroused which would certainly defeat the whole scheme.

The line here would natur- ally pass below the grade of the street on the vanks of Rock ereek, and would never be an obstruction to travel. This point would have the advantage of being reached by both the ennsylvania avenue and Mth street lines of horse cars. A short extension of the Belt line (three squares) would reach the proposed Union depot at New York avenne. The 7th street line could also be extended to it from the intersee- | short line. A suburban station at the crossing of 7th street pike. just beyond Soldiers’ Home, would be a convenience, and would be reached by the 9th street line, which extends beyond the boundary by that pike.
