Kew York Ofice: Room 93, Tribune Bauildinc. The need of additional freight facilities was clearly demonstrated by the Pennsylvania rail- road yesterday in its argument in support of the Atkinson bill in the hearing before the House District committee. Nobody denies the existence of this need, and the plan proposed by the board of trade gives the road power to condemn property aud lay side tracks and pro- THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C..

The board of trade's proposal gives the railroad all the necessary freight tracks at grade and provides for a sinking of the main passenger line only for a portion of its course through the city, The plea that the Baltimore and Potomac road bas been unprofitable and cannot afford to make the improvements which the capital requests is langhable. ‘The road is an important link in the great Pennsylvania system, giving to the latter southern connections and access to the cepital of the republic. The money which bas been spent upon the road has not been ex- pended im this city, where it has free station site aud free right of way at grade over the public streets, butim tunneling in Baltimore and in rT wars, Washington wants the same con- sideration shown to it that has been shown to jaltmore and Philadelphia. Whatever the Yenusyivania systems of book Keeping may show as to the financial standing of its Balti- more and Potomac branch, Washington cannot be an unprofitable city, since here the roxd ex- pends almost nothing by way of improvement, <njoy® the privileges already indicated, and handles, according to its own figures, an enor- mous quantity of freight and nearly two mil- lions of passcugers to or from the city an- ually, $< ‘The greatest flood ever known in the Missis- sippi Valley proper was predicted at several al service offices three duys ago, and the ic storms of wind and rain and snow which have been distributed throngbout the entire section from ockies to the Alleghenies would appear to be the line of fuliilment of the predictions, It is calculated that while in the upper river, that is from Memphis north, tke floods will be immediate and less destruc- tive, it will take at least three wer for the fu'l tide to sweep in upon the lands in the region of the sugar belt and above, and it will | take longer for it to move off and leave the lands clear for cultivation again. This will place it far along in the spring, almost summer in thet latitude, and the prospeet for crops of any kind is to say the least not favorable. Add to this the unhealthful conditions arising from water soaked soil, the warm weather of the past winter, the yellow fever premonitions already showing in South America and West Indian ports, and the outlook for a cheerful southern summer 1s not flattering. Fore- warned is forearmed. however, aud the south has ample time to prepare for emergencies, which after all may never come to pass, and the preparations will be so much added to general improvement. the The prime cause of all this malfeasance in Office, so far as it has a public aspect, is the joose system of accounts and supervision that prevails in most of the states. One would have thought that Maryland would have bad not ouly a law to punish such crimes as Treasurer Archer's, but a system which would almost in- fallibly have prevented it. During his three terms of office, it appears, no examination was ever made of the business of his office—the most important in the whole state. Certainly now, warned by the repeated defalcations, em- bezzlements, hypothecations and other forms of swindling and abuse of trust, the laws of the various states of the Union will be made more stringent, and the public scrutiny of the char- acter of its employes closer than it has been in the past. Taz Stan would not undermine con- fidence, but it would not have snares laid to entrap the weak. Men are sometimes made actively dishonest by imposing too much con- fidence in their integrity. ee The news from the storm-centre shows a wide-spread desolation. A large number of persons altogether must have been killed, as the cyclone struck and overturned the whole or parts of many villages in the interior. As the wires have been down it will take a day or two longer to hear from some of the points on the railroads and even a week to learn the ex- tent of the disaster in the back country off from the lines of communication. A calamity like this, following so closely upon the flood at Johnstown as that did upon the earthquake at Charleston, impresses one painfully with the uncertainties of “this our mortal life.” en Something like a Louisville tornado struck the secret session of the Senate yesterday about the time the Florida appointments came up audscarcely a Senator escaped without a scratch although nobody was seriously injured. The course of the tornado was due North and South, $$$ 0 a About ten thousaud dollars’ worth of the gov- ernment’s time was wasted in the House yes- terday afternoon im the discussion of a point of order. $$$ 2 Tt cannot be long at the present rate of growth before we round off this majestic Union with an even fifty states. Looking sill further forward to number 100 seema almost like coming to the poet's “parliament of man and federation of the world.” $$ 2 There have been more storm area and low barometer in the United States for a week past than would last a year uuder ordinary meteor- ological conditions, $< 2 He was not an insatiate Archer—one-fourth of the funds in his possession sufficed.

(12th st. store.) ‘The Palais Royal Cashmeres, Henriettas and Serges need no advertising other than the late “Opening” display. Our French Plaids, the English Checks, the Molairs are also town talk. The China Silks at the special price of 89c.—O8c. the regular price—deserve more than passing notice, since many uew art shades were received tuis morning.

The Royal's Black Silks need no fulsome praise. The confidence Lewotten of the guarantee— the promise to give a new dress should they split within a year of purchase—is the assurance of the best productions of the world’s beat producers. It only re- maius to say that the prices are oniy possible because of the Palais Royal's cash business, Whether ‘tis the 5 Silks or the specialties at $1 in Surah, Faille, Grain, Royal Armure, khadzimir, Pean de Soie.

Perhaps the best and surest test of the differences between Palais Royal Prices and the prices of else- where—the prices quoted by the merchants who credit many of their putrons—are Priestley’s Black Wool Dress Goods.

The regular prices are special prices, if you make comparison with the merchants who haven't advan- tages in buying und selling—those who give and ask credit. For instance: Our regular price for 4-button French Kid Gloves is 96 cents a pair. Thirteen years ayo—when our trade was comparatively small— we bought these gloves of the same maker and wold them at $1.25. We buy now 500 dozen at a time and the seller receives a cheque a8 soon as a stearuer can carry it to him after we receive the gloves, It was not 90 im the past and that's the reason why we now charge 96 cents. But there's another reason : ford smull profit because we receive prompt p from you, For these reasons we offer you the $1.25 French Kid Gloves of the credit stores for 6 cents.und that isour regular price. Monday’s special price is 89 cents, Of course we guarantee the gloves, the same as if you paid the reguiar price. Wiil also fit them to your hand, at our risk, if you wish it. Now look at the Undressed Kid Morisquet sires for which our regu- lar price is 81.25—Mouday’s special price, $1.19, Are you not generally charged $1.48 for such quality? Remeniber, every pair guaranteed, Just as true of the high-priced selected French Kid Gloves, ‘The very best undressed Kid Mousquetaires usually retail at $2; here the regular price is @1.80. And so with the Genuine Pigskin Mou-quetaires, Isn't the usual price 81? Here the regular price is 89 cents Now take the “Palais Koyal” 4-button Dressed and Undressed Kid Gloves at $1.50.a pair.
