The House committee on railways and canals has ordered a favorable report on Representa tive Payne’s bill providing for the construction by the United States of a ship canal around Niagara Falls. The route is to be along one of the lines already sur- veyed, and a definite — location is to be made by a board of five men, to be ap- pointed by the President, composed of two army engineers, two civil engineers and one distinguished citizen. Ten thousand dollars is appropriated for the expenses of the board and $1,000,000 is appropriated to begin the construction of the canal, under the direction of the Secretary of War. The com- mittee has listened to arguments upon the sub- ject by representatives of lake shipping imterests and others, and the report will make a strong point upon the military neces- sity for the canal. It will be urged that the Welland, which now affords the only route around the falls, is an English property and would be closed against us in the event of a war. The depth of that canal, which is thirteen feet, would also be insufficient to permit of the passage of our war vessels, Asa further reason in support of the p: fe of the bill it will be recited that the Welland canal has been used as a means of discrimination against the ports of the United States and in favor of the Canadian export trade, According to the plans sub- mitted the canal is to cost $23,600,000, which will be really less than the cost of the Welland canal, with its 13-foot depth; while the new canal is to have a depth of 20g feet. The route is about 23 miles in length and the locks are to be 400 feet long by 80 feet im breadth. Otherwise the canal is to be sufficiently large to permit of the passage of vessels which pass through the St. Mary's canal when the new locks are completed, THE LONG BRIDGE TRACKS, Col. Hains Says They Should be Raised— The Bridge Should be Rebuiit, On March 7 last the Secretary of War, by Senate resolution, was requested to investigate in connection with the Potomac flats improve- ment, the desirability of separating the wagon road from the railroad on the Long Bridge north of the main channel of the Potomac and to furnish an estimate of the cost of the same. In response to this Col P. ©. Hains has submitted a lengthy report. After reciting the history of the Long bridge the report goes on to say: “Atone place on the bridge there is barely width enough for a single wagon a single train of cars to pass. In its present condition it is far from being a convenient structure, and the separation of the wagou road from the railroad, #o that one would be entirely inde- pendent of the other, would be an improvement over the existing arrangement. Indeed, a wagon road and a railroad on one aud the sanie bridge is always objectionable and is only tolerated from necessity. The portion of the bridge that spans the Washington channel is now in sucha condition that the question of rebuilding it entirely, rather than repairing it, is one for serious consideration from motives of economy,” WHY THE TRACKS SHOULD BE RAISED, On the questi n of the project aimed at Col. Hains says: ‘‘fhe government has already ex- pended over a million of dollars in improving the river front, by filling up the marhses or fiata and ‘digging ont channels for the accommodation of commerce. It hascreated an area of 650 acres of land above overtiow by ordinary tides where for- merly there existed aeres of pestilential marshes. The land thus made, though not yet raised to the full height intended, already as- sumes a value estimated as in excess of its cost, and is susceptible of being made into one of the finest parks in the District. This land is cut in two by the causeway portion of the bridge and, should the government decide to utilize it as ‘a park, it isof supreme importance that the railroad tracks be carried over it ona grade that will ailow free communication beneath them. To keep the railroad on the grade of the park would be decidedly objec- tionable. THE BRIDGE SHOULD BE REBUILT. “Again, that part of Long Bridge that spans the main channel of the river is, as now built, a serious obstruction to the free flow of the river in times of freshets. The board of engineers that recommended the plan of improving the river front, now being carried out, called attention to the necessity of rebuilding that structure with wider spans at an early stage of the work. The freshet ef June last empha- sized it. Reports have frequently been made to Congress calling attentidn to the mat- Had the fresnet of last June occurred when the river was full of ice a gorge would most probably have formed at the bridge and destroyed it. At the same time a very much larger area of the city would have been dated. COL, HAINS SUBMITS A PROJECT which raises the grade of the railroad tracks and carries them over a viaduct of brick 3 A PARTY WALL PROBLEM. The Right of an Owner to Build Ea- tirely Within His Own Lot Questidned. Recently the Commissioners had submitted to them for decision s question of considerable interest concerning the subject of party walls. A man was about to erect a dwelling and wanted information concerning the use of a party wall which was wholly within its own lot, Inspector Entwisie, in passing upon the case, said, after quoting the law, that the whole wall at the survey line entirely gn bis ow He suggested the reference of the subject to the attorney for the District for his views, Assistant Attorney Thomas 3 FE H fe sf i} Pe i fs silt a44 i E 3 rt i iF i i tH i Fy i ee eis be shall be for, the time being for and manner of the buildings and im on the lots generally in the said city, or in par- ticular streets or for common convenience, safety and order, provided such terms and conditions be deciared before the ~ ied of the said lots." (Webb's Digest, ) “Under the above provision President Wash- ington before the sale of any of the lots, on the 17th of October, 1791, promulgated various building regulations, among which was ‘Regu- lation No. 1,’ im regard to party walls. See p. 17 of the present building regulations. “While the wall in question is not strictly a party wall, Mr. —— might yet be entitled to treat it as such and insert his beams into it, It bas been held in Pennsylvania, in a case which arose in Philadelphia ( "s appeal, 81 Penn. St., 54), where they have a regulation like salient cay samen ana whence, as you may know, our old regulations came, that SS builde the foundation mes wall ly on own land 4 ee neighbor’s he cannot prevent the from being # party wall by building it wholly upon his own land, To the same effect 1s the later case of the appeal of the Western Bank (102 Penn.

Mr. —-— may either treat the wall as a party wall on the principle of the Pennsylvania cases, or he may ask a court of equity to compel the re- mova! of the obstruction. “I bave, therefore, to advise you that the question presented is one for the courts, where Mr. —— should seek his remedy, unless he can come to agreement with his neighbor. It would be weil in the gee I think, for inspector of uildings before granting a Decmit to build to satisfy himself that the building owner intends to erect a party wall when one does not exist. and thus avoid the loss of ground and the unnecessary expense of building an additional wallin such cases as this.” The report of the attorney has been ap- proved by the Commissioners. —_——s——— THE MILITARY TURN-OUT. Col. Gibson Will be in Command—High School Cadets to Have a Place in Line. Secretary Proctor is informed that Col. H. G. Gibson, third artillery, who has been ill for some time, has sufficiently recovered to be able to take command of the military review of the regular and volunteer troops next Friday in honor of the Pan-American delegates, He is, by virtue of his superior rank in the Army Register, en- titled to this position, but it was doubted whether his health would permit his presence Friday. The Secretary has decided to give the High School Cadets a place in the line and has notified them to report to Gen. Ordway for duty on Frida: nee een Branch Postal Station K Ahead.

The law is “Paster than a trot or moderate gallop.’ If the word moderate qualified the trot as it does the gallop the law would cover it, but the court cannot alter the law.” In dis the case the julge remarked that he hoped Congress would remedy the mat- ter before another case is brought. a “The Salary ts Too Small.” “It (9 ks as though we were going to have conside, «vie trouble in finding a man who will accept the position of state treasurer,” said Senator Gorman to 4 Sta reporter on Setar- day evening. “The-oftice only pays $2,500 @ Year—a miserable pittance—while the bond re- quired amounts to €200,000.
