Mr. Tyrrer, of the North Washington Cable company,which he represented, was not willing, he said, to unite with the Washington cable Toad or any other. His company had laid out an extensive route, far beyond anything con- templated by any’ other company. tarough sparsely settled sections of the District, and it Preferred to construct its own line, independent ofany other. The route of his company is from Louisiana avenue through Indiana and New Jersey avenues to Band North Gos streets: to the Soldiers’ home. He added thatif the charter is ana Mr, Wharton, of Philadel- pls, wno built the Washington and George- WH road, would construct it. AGAINST ANY MORE HORSE CARS. Messrs. Geo, G. Gorham and 8, P. Brown spoke in behalf of the Washington Centralcom Pany. They proposed to propel their cars by cable or electricity, and opposed any further ex- tension of horse cars, ‘Mr. Brown stated that the bill of his company was before the last Congress, and reported upon adversely by the District Commissioners. He read a reply to the objections of the Commis- sioners, (formulated by Mr. Edmonds), in which ‘it was charged that Mr. Edmonds had persistently opposed an extension of street car Jacilities, He maintained that the granting of a charter to his company would break up railroad monopoly and rapidly develop the city. Mr. Brown sald he obtalned the oharter of and built the Metropolitan road, and was actively in- terested in building the Washington and George, town. He contended for the superiority of the electric systems of propelling ‘and referred to lines now in successful operation in differ- entcities. Mr. Brown said there was a good deal of opposition from the existing companies to new lines, COST OF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM. Mr. Ingalls wanted some information as to the cost of the electric system per mile, and other details, Mr. Brown could not ‘reply, but Mr. Gorham said & written statement giving all theinforma- tion wanted would be filed, ‘The proposed route, Mr. Brown said, would be twelve miles long, double track. As to cable companies, he said, there are seven in operation in San Frahelseo ahd they give entire satisfac. lon. Mr. Ingalls said the practicability of the cable system Was not an open question. PROTEST AGAINST LAYING A TRACK ON TWELFTH STREET, Mr. M. M, Parker presented a written protest against laying any track on 12th street, on the ground that there is no public necessity for such road; that it would injure the street and property, ‘and all forthe benefit of a corpora- lon. The protest was signed by about 100 Property owners on 12th street, above Pennsyl- vania avenue, smong whom were Judges Cart- terand McArthur. Mr. Parker spoke of 13th Street as a better route, saying, however, he did not like to advise the use of that street. Mr. Ingalis, (sarcastically)—“But you have no objection to the use of 13th street?” [Laughter.] Mr. Parker said that 12th street is only thirty feet wide between curbs, Col. Boyer said he bad measured the street and found it to be forty-six feet wide. A dispute arose which Mr. Ingails cut short, Mr, Parker commended the route out North Capitol street for a railway, A REMONSTRANCE FROM NORTH § STREET. Mr. R. Ross Perry presented a remonstrance against permitting a railroad track on North S street, signed by property owners along that street, on the ground that it would injure the property. Mr. Perry said that most of the charters asked for were by non-residents and for speculative purposes. ‘There are, he added, plenty of men in Washington to build all the railroads needed, Mr. Paul said {t was only proposed to occupy five blocks on 5 street,and Lhat 1t was necessary, to provide the people with facilities, Mr. Perry gave a list of the existing roads, and said they supplied all the facilities needed. Mr. Boyer said these existing roads do not one the northern part of the city with facili- ies. r. Perry asked Mr, Boyer, “Are you a resi- dent of Washington?” ‘No, sir,” Was the reply [Laughter}—But’ma citizen of the United States,” udded Mr. Boyer, ‘and this is the national capital.” Yes, and you help pay the taxes for Wash- ington,” put in a by-stander, Mr, Perry inquired if Mr. Boyer owned any Properiy in Washington, to which a negative Teply was given, A WEST WASHINGTON PROTEST. Mr. John T, Mitchell, in behalf of the resi- dents of N or Gay street, West Washington, protested against @ track on that street, saying it was only thirty feet wide, Mr. Blackford said a route could be laid out that would avold N street, and he was satisfied that 90 out of every 100citizens of West Wash- ington want a cable road, Ifthe route would take in his property he would give a subscrip- ton in its behall, “He added that very many residents of West Washington, as a rule, have to hang to straps when they take the cars. _ Mr.Gorhain said that that excellent man, Jake Sharp.had laid tracks on Broudway that do not, in the least, interfere with vehicies; that the tracks are as smooth as the pavement itself. Another objection urged to the occupancy of N street was that it is the regular route for country people hauling produce to town, and at wagons loadeG with hay could not’ pass street cars, Mr, Mitchell was satisfied a railroad would be of great benefit to West Washington and was ‘only opposed to the occupancy of 'N street, SIXTH STREET OBJECTS, A protest against the occupancy of 6th street Rorthwest was presented by Mr. Dubant, lt was stated that a petition in favor of a road on that street had been presented, but it emanated from tenants not property owners and perma- nent residents.

It was stated in the ree that the residents own carriages and do not need rafiroads, Mr. Brown sald it was not contemplated to occupy 16th street, and he would oppose su¢h ‘occupancy. Mr. A. J. Falls presented a protest against the occupancy of 18th street for the same reasons substantially; the other protests, North given in Woshington, he said, wants uo further railroad faciitties, He said a foreign corporation wanted to tear up the beautiful streets of Washington simply w make money. ‘Mr. Blackford said he had watched the grant- ing of railroad charters here for nineteen yea and In every case protests had been filed agains the oecupane; every street named in the charters, and in every case the building of the Toads had been followed by a rapid increase in the value of the property along the lines of Air. Brown safd that every incorporator of the gompany he represented 18. resident of Wash- ington. Mr. George C. Hazleton objected to a road running up New Jersey avenue and B street north. “He said that i! any additional facilities ure needed they can be provided by existing Toads; that the proposed company can run its cars Over the tracks of the Metropolitan road, Dr. Henderson presented a written protest against the occupancy of 7 street north, His paper set forth that the “hired agent” ot the broposed company procured somo signers to a Petition for the road, but they were renters, hot property owners. ~ Mr. A.

Clapp replied that he represented vested rights; he represented the Belt line, and Ye was roposed to permit # cable road to run over the At tracks on 11th, E, Water and 7th streets, He maintained thai the two systems could not Uso the same tracks; that the different speed of euch would prevent. COULDN’? RUN SLOWEE THAN HORSE CARS, Mr, Ingalls remarked that the cable cars cer- tainly could not run slower than the horse cars, Mr, Clupp replied that they ran faster, and that would render collisions alimost movitable, ‘Mr. Harris wanted to know, that in the event, Congress determined to improve the existing Taliroad system by requiring the cable to be adopted in place of horse cars, if the companies Would consent to make the change, Mr. thought they would, but they could not make the change at once. A gentleman from Philadelphia sald that the same tracks there, in several streets are occupied by both horse and cable cars and operated successfully, ‘and very few accidents have occurred. ‘Mr. Cinpp sald Congress might Just as well re- the Belt Line charter as to permit cable cars run coineldentiy with its tracks. He said the cilizens of Washington who pay taxes hore do DOL propose to have outaiders come here and despoil Of thelr rights, PRESIDENT HUBT PROTESTS, President Hurt, of the Washington and Georgetown company, protested against the occupancy of their tracks on Water street by any other company.

He believed that the removal of the street car on Connecticut avenue would increase the val ue of property there 20 percent. THE GROOVED RAIL. Mr. Hurt read a letter trom Oden Bowle, say- ing that he permitted a charter in Baltimore to lapse because it required him to use a grooved rail, and in winter the tracks got lost in mud andsnow. Mr. Hurt said that was the rail it been proposed to use here. Mr, Wharton, of Philadelphia, a practical street railroad builder, explained the different rails. In New York, he said, the grooved rail ‘was in use only at crossings of importantstreets and it was kept olean, The rail is not in use 1n allot rae track, He said the center-bearing rail is better for the railroads and the n= Gers, but not good for carriages and vehicles, oy kind of rail will intertere with vehicles more or less. ‘The Broadway even with the pavement, an not to obstruct travel.

THE MASTER BRICKLAYERS BRING EIGHTEEN MEN FROM OTHER CITIES, WHO WILL BE EM- PLOYED UNDER THE NINE-HOUR RULE, The event fn the building lock-out to-day was the arrival of eighteen bricklayers, brought to this clty by the boss bricklayers, and the an- nouncement thatten more were on the way here. This morning at the headquarters of the boss bricklayers on E street the work of distrib- uting the new arrivals among the bosses who wanted bricklayers was going on, and it was said that ifit had not been for the rain that the men would have at once gone to work. When ‘one of the bosses was asked how they were going to prevent the men from being taken away by the unton men hesaid: “They will have to hire them to stop work if they get them atall, and we can get others to come here as fast a3 they can buy them off, so that it will be rails were laid is kept even so as rather expensive for the unions.” “What hours will the meu work?” asked the reporter. “Nine hours of course,” was the reply. “We offered all the men nine hours and we are to rest nd we will te same rate as not been acted on; Building operations augurate the nine- Of wages.

A member of the amalgamation committee sald that in addition to the bricklayers who came in last evening 3 carpenters arrived here and were at once taken into the Curpenters’ union, “The bosses seem to think,” sald a member of the committee, “that after we get 8 hours we will ask for more. Now I am sure there will be no further demand made. The men do not want or ask for the Saturday half-holiday.” THE QUESTIO: CHEAP GAS. Mr. Dodge's Statement Before the Sen- ate Sub-Committee. Mr. W.C. Dodge in his statement yesterday betore Senators Spooner and Blackburn, the sub-District commitvee of the Senute to investi- gate as tothe price of gas in Washington und the prospect of reducing it to$1 per 1,000 cubic feet briefly reviewed tho efforts to procure re- lef and added that no fair man would deny a fair yield or profiton gas. He thought the better plan would be for Congress to condemn the gas works and supply gas asit does water. Mr, Dodge sketched the procedings of committees in Congress in the past in connection with gas to show the futility of all efforts to get definite and detailed Information as to the internal workings of the company, the cost of making gas and the profit derived from its sale. He quoted from the various reports to Congress and the documents among its files in relation to this gas company, the material facts of which have been given in THe STaR since the inception of this inquiry. He suid there Was a greut distinction to be made between gas and light; that the people pay for light, but do not always get it, ‘The law requires @ standard in Washington of 16-candle power. In New York the gas furnished by the seven companies there range from 19+ to 33+ candle power. At 1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet that would be equal, iu New York, to five cents per candle, while it would be nearly nine cents per candle here. GAS STOCK AT 100 PEE CENT PREMIUM. He sald the gas stock here sells at 100 per cent premium, and that itself shows the protits, as the value of a stock is controlled by the divi- dends paid, From the date ot organization of the company in 1848 Wo 1881 the company patd an average dividend ou all its stock of 16 8-10 per cent. Just think of 1b be sald, almost 17 per cent profit for all these 31% years, in addition fo whieh the company had pald for its works including a duplicate set of works not used, au ‘iso had on hand in surplus cash nearly three- quarters of a million dollars, Mr. Dodge main- tained that nowhere in the country has there been a railroad company which pat set ali We waut ible to buy up, rs rather depre pluces here, as OF any such rofit, and yet the Senate bad recent Saiied upon Yo passe ‘bil to regulate ralirond charges. PRICES OF GAS IN OTHER CITIES, Mr. Dodge produced figures showing that the Baltimore gas is furnished at $1 per thousand cuble feet; in Chicago, at $1 and $1.25; in Wheeling and Wilkesbarre, ninety cents, “Mr. e said there was no reason why Cie should not be furnished as cheap in Washington as Baltimore, ‘Mr, McIiheny said the Baltimore company was hot paying any dividends, Z Continuing his statement,’ Mr. Dodge said that 46 companies of Great Britain supply gas Of 19 6-10 candle power at 90 cents per 1,000, and 12 companies of that country make gas of 166-10 candle power at 64 cents, and they pay 10 por cent in dividends. | Thorethe manu facture is regulated by law, and that accounts: for the cheapness of gas. He presented a mass Of statistics showing the price of gas elsewhere and to show that it can besold here for one dollar, If this company would not agree to sell it at that price, and if Congress would make it get out of the way, he would bind himself to find company tat would make gas for one dollar, ‘He condemned the system of requiring deposits from gas consumers, Ronszeres Rerortep.—J.
