Mr. Rober &—In regard to the first question, as to the establisument of a union station, speaking for the Baltimore and Potomac allroad, I think I can safely say that they do not belleve that It ‘Would be either to the benefit of the public or to their owa Interest to have a union station with an~ other competing line. Tueir present station is hardly adequate for the transaction of thelr own Dusiness, and any unton station that could be sug. gested (or bringing together tbe lines that reac! this polat from the North and West would require more track TOOm and greater facilities of approach Yo the depot than we now ‘or thay the pres- ent streets would admit of. Our tracks leading to the present station, outside of 6th street, are gen- erally tour In number. ‘These are absolutely nec- essary w do the bu.inéss, and the business in fact is not properly transacted even on the four. In all of ou great clues we have four tracks to reach the st_tions, and in New York we are now providing for Ix; so that to endeaveor to accommodate any additional business on the preseat four tracks | would seem to be out of the question, It would | Only result in contusion and a want of proper ac- | commodation to the public. The tracks that ar | now laid are sometimes occupled in a manner not | Strictly ta accordance with the law; but this con- dition of things has been forced upon us by the Culler position in which we tnd ourvelves in t elty. rhe Chairman.—Wi you depertbe that def. nitely? Mr. Roberts.—We have purchased at large ex- | pense private property, for the purpove of hand. Jag tue Dusiness of the company and that of the Pubite, and getting off the public highways, and Uben have been uttetly prevented from using tae same. pole, Chairman.—Where ts that private property Aved? | Mir. Koberts.—At the end of the Long Bridge, | square 233. Tt was purchased several years slice | for tue purpose of relieving tue streets near that | point of cars standing to be loaded or unloaded. We have up to (lus Ume been protubited trom Lay | ing any tracks lato the lot. Mr. Spooner.—That | Supreme Court of the United States in thelr d ‘sion Said that you bad no power to lay tracks to Teach? Mr. Roberta—¥es, sir; they say we have no power to lay a truck’ across the street to reach It, and the Same jaw we presumed would govern in other cases. There 1s no Way, theretore, In which We can do business in the city of Washfagton ex- cept upon the public street, a8 of course there 13 bo use In acquirt.ig private’ property if we cannot extend our tracks ucross tue streets to reach tt. ‘The Chairman.—Wouid that be suficient for the accommodation of all of your freight business as 1b 43 now carried on? Mr. Roverts.—No, str, not the fourth of it, ‘There 45 no'single biock that'we know of, except such a8 are owned by the Goverument, that 4s Suffictently to transact our business. Chairinan.—You now have a freight station on square 386, I observe by tuls map? Mr. Roverts.—Yes, sir; this block G86) we inh r- wed iangely trom thie Alexandria and Washington | Raitroud, f tulak. That i we found them tu docu. | pation of a portion of it, and finally secured the | ownersiup of the wnoie. On it we have to do a large portion of the business that comes from the South, Again, a large amount of coal was brought here fromthe: North for use in the cley- We had 09 place in wuich to handle that business unless 10 Was on the street, and we therefore purchased the South part of square 267. We then purchased 231 With tue expectation of getting across tue street | and occupying that also.” But the courts decided | We bad no anthonty to lay any track across tue Street to reach 1, and that the Commissioners couid give us no such permission. ‘There 13 now a | privaté truck running down 13¢a street whicu, L understand, has bee ordered to be taken up. ‘Tals Tuas 16 a coal-yard, and ts used Lo supply the | ety with coal. | Toe Castrman.—That track there, as I under. | Stand It, Is ald down Wituout authority of law? | Mr. Roberts. —Iumagine that i is ‘As the com- pang Is vow situaied in this city there does not | seein to be anything for them todo but either to Eransact a portion of their bustness on the public hichWay or ese go Outside of the lumItS 0. the city. Jt would be much more conouileal and more con | venteut for the company to do go, but would that auswer te purposes o¢ the city or tue public at jarget If We undertook to make a delivery ot ire gut on the otuer std of the Eastera Branch I do Bot think that proposition wou d_ be listen} to | for a moment, Nobody would Want to go out taere | With Unelr earts ino.der toget coal. The company id be very giad to do Its freight ousiness out the ground is cheaper | and there are no streets to cross. Everyuning could be had at avery much less expense, But nsWer the pubic. ‘The reason we present ovations is for the purpose of ng the traffic as near to its point oc con- | sumption as possible. If we are restricted stmp,y | vo the running of our tratns through the cliy, we ean probabiy do Uhat on four tracks, Duc it we are prolibited, as we understand we are to-day, trom | uirsng ‘any pivate property outside of these four tracks except by purchase, then we are at the mercy of (ue holders of the'property. And, if after having purchased it at exorbitant prices, we ate uot peruiftted Wo lay any Uracks to reach that private property, 11s hardly necessary for me to Say that there lS no practical way of doing the business, We purchased a piece of groundat the corner of Gta sireet and Virginia avenue, where We put up a roundhot-e and eudeavored todo some | Nctle business there. We acquired that property for the purpose of getting as close to our passenger station as pussible with ollr motive power, sous to vod runulng it Ubrough the streets any more | than absolutely necessary. We were very soon | driven out by the public, on the ground that ti | Was a pubic nuisance. We had to go elsewhere for our roundhouse, Mr. Roberts added that they were driven out by ‘suits at iaw. ——>___ ‘Transfers of Bent Estate.

The mass-meetings held last night in the twenty-two legislative districts to choose dele- gates to the District republican convention to-day, Af possible, exceeded in point of disorder and con- fusion any previous gatherings of the kind. This unusual disorder was due to the fact, it is stated, that in many of the districts there was unex- Pectedly developed a very strong opposition to the Carson faction. It was expected that Carson and his distr'-t leaders would carry the elections easily, and that there wou.d be little disorder, as there would be no opposition. AS it was Carson ‘was beaten In his own district and suffered losses in other districts, He was himself elected a dele- gate to to.day’s convention, but the four men chosen to accompany him were Carson men, ‘The two opposing parties last night, regarded frota & national point of view, were Sher man and Blaine partes. Carson represented the Biaine interest. Many of the meetings were very inter sting as fllustrating the beauties of the elective systeta in the District of Columbia.
