Hearing Betore the House District Committee Today. VICR PRESIDEXT GREEN OF THE ROAD ADYO- CATES ITS INTERESTS AND MESSRS. M. M. PARKER AXD T. W. NOYES OF THE WASHINGTON BOARD OF TRADE SPEAK IN BEHALF OF THE INTER- ESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT. The representatives of the Pennsylvania rail- road were given another hearing on the Atkin- son bill by the House District committee to- day, The committee was to have met at 10 o'clock, At that hour the chair- man and Mr. Barclay, the attorney for the road, were the only persons Present, At ten minutes to 11 Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Hemphill were the only members of the committee besides the chairman present. Mr. Barclay of Philadelphia, the attorney; Vice President Green and U. H. Painter, represented the Pennsyivania Railroad, Mr. Church, Mr. Rose and Mr. M. M. Parker were present to represent the Washington Board of Trade. It was 11:10 o'clock before the committee was called to order. Mr. Parker was asked by the chairman if he represented the Board of Trade and if he had thing say. rae Parker replied that representatives of the Board of Trade were present, but they did not know that they had anything to say. They had opened the hearing at the last meeting and if they should have anything to say they Preferred to let the railroad open. Vice President Green said that the railroad had nothing more to say on the subject if the Board of Trade had not, Mr. ais then proposed that the hearing be declared off, if nobody wanted to give any information to the committee. After some little talk Vice President Green said he would presenta few statements with relation to the Burton bill if the committee desired. : Mr. Hemphill said that he wanted it under- Stood that the committee did not insist upon any statement being made, The railroad cam to ask for certain things. If they did not ca: to give the committee any information on the subject he thought the committee ought not to insist upon it, MR. GREEN'S OBJECTIONS TO THE BURTON BILL. Mr. Green then took the floor, He said that the two propositions in the Burton bill were for the removal of the depot to the in- tersection of Maryland and Virginia avenues, and that the tracks be sunk in a trench from 4 to 20 feet deep from between 2d and 34 streets and the Long Bridge, He said that for the past ten years there had been a dozen different points proposed and that no two sets of people agreed upon any site. He said he believed that no majority in Congress, no majority of the people of the District or of the people of the country would vote to move this depot. He said that in all his traveling in and out of Washington he had not seen, all told, 1,000 people in the Mall Park, while 1,500,000 passengers are benefited by the present location of the depot. When men sent their families off on the cars they were given every possible comfort and convenience. The proposition to mt the depot at Maryland and Virginia avenues meant that the cars at the depot should be under ground twenty feet, and that the passengers should have to sit ina foulatmosphere and submit to discomfort which they would not tolerate, Mr. Grout asked about the necessity for space for the separation of local from through freight, and Mr. Green pointed out the neces- sity for more facilities, ir. Grout said that he thought he spoke for the committee when he said that Mr. Green need not spend s moment in discussing the necessity for greater facilities for the road. He thought the committee was convinced of this, and that it needed no argu- ment. The only questions that bothered the committee were those of the DEPRESSION OF THE TRACKS AND THE PUSHING BACK OF THE DEPOT. Mr. Green then said that there was no place in the city limits that could possibly be as suitable in every respect for a depot as the site now occupied, There were fewer objectionable features and greater benefits to the traveling public. It was altogether the best site in the city limits. | He said as to the tracks, that the approaches could be materially improved, but that it was farcical to talk of sinking the tracks un- der ground, No doubt, he said, the tracks might be depressed from 43¢ street to 6th, but this meant an immense work and ex- pense, and the question would have to be very carefully investigated by the engineers of the road, the engineers of the District and the engineers of the government, and the matter would have to be settled for all time, The road could not afford to spend $1.000,000 for this work; the rict could not afford to spend $1,000,000 as a temporary expedient, The inconvenience and hardship would fall upon the passengers, who would have to travel through the guily and sometimes through three or four feet of water. He said that the tracks occup ied the streets at grade by right— by command of Congress. Congress put them there. Mr. Green, continuing, said that Mr. Noyes had gone out of his way to denounce the road as outlaws, grabbers and robbers, when in fact the road occupied the streets and the depot site by right granted by Congress. CITIZENS NOT COMPLAINING OF LEGAL BUT IL- LEGAL ACTS OF THE ROAD, Mr. Grout interrupted him here to state that Mr. Noges had not spoken of the occupa- tion of streets and the mall authorized by Con- gress, but was referring to acts of the road which were not authorized. Mr. Green said he understood this, but that the road had permission from the Commis- sioners for all the sidings laid, &c. He re- peated that Congress had commanded in the w that the road proceed along these streets at grade, Mr. Grout asked if the road had protested against this—if they wanted to come in in any way but on Mr. Green sai he supposed not; that after cutting the tunnel they were not hanker- ing to make more cuts, AGAINST SINKING THE TRACKS, Speaking further about the proposition to sink the tracks, Mr. Green said that the road could not in justice be made to damage prop- erty for 500 feet on either side by sinking their tracks and then be forced to pay damages, ‘They had, he said, paid damages once for all time in compliance with the provisions of the act of 1872. To make them incur other dam- ages and go down in their pockets to pay for them was confiscation or robbery. He called the committee's attention to the fact that the German government was spend- ing $24,000,000 to sink tracks in six cities. He said the road was willing to do what was right, but that they did uot want this proposition to relieve the streets combined with that to give them the greater facilities they asked. These facilities, he said, were needed at once, The other work would take a long time. Mr. Grout suggested that the road might be granted the facilities they asked at once, and un agreement be entered into by which they might have four years to make the improvements asked by the District, MR. GREEN OBJECTS, Mr. Green resisted this suggestion and said that the railroad could not tell what to rely on. The people of the District, he said, had got on their knees and begged'the road to come here, Now the roud had money rights here that must be considered. They had come here tt the petition of the ople an spent their money acquiring Le they should not be deprived ot 2 MR. GROUT ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN about these money rights. He asked if the road paid for the streets or paid the govern- ment for the ground occupied by the depot. Mr. Green admitted that they had not paid ground. Mr. Grout then asked if he thought that be- cause the road was permitted to occupy this ground they had a right to occupy it for all time, 3 Mr. Green replied that should, Mr. Green described turesqueness the and streets the sinking re racic oe "5 ught le wo! soon tisfied P° Fhe road, he said, Be- curity and did not want to be —— out in Heras 2 enang ng ontinens te wi ‘im.

Those who wanted the depot removed to be- tween ist and 2d streets south of B, Mr. Par- ker said, would agree to have it at the inter- section of Maryiand and Virginia avenues; or the Board ‘Trade would agree to have the —— Ist street south of B. said that he had talked with Frank Thom; firet vice president of the road, and that Kir. Thompson had admitted that the simking of the tracks was practicable, but objected to the expense. He said that under the plan proposed by the Board of Trade the railroad could acquire all the facilities they could need for a thousand — They could acquire all the property m the line of thei road to the river. Ample facilities would be given for freight and for ail sidings. He was asked what provisions were “Snere ! to compensate people for damages in being de- Prived of their sidings west of 4'5 street. | He replied that there was a general pro- vision for settlement of legal damages, Mr. Grout suggested that there were no legal sidings to be affected and that they could. not be considered in that light. MR. NOTES’ REMARKS. Some general discussion followed thi when Mr. Parker completed statement Mr. T. W. Noyes addressed the committee briefly. Speaking of the charge that he had abused the Pennsylvania railroad in his former address to the committee, he said he had not entered into any personal abuse of the road. What he had done was to quote from official reports of a former attorney for the District and the superintendent of public buildings, from a portion of @ speech by Senator Morrill, and be had referred to indictments and damage suits for illegal acts by the railroad and pomted out other fiegal acts, This was a matter of record, not an indulgence in abuse. Mr. Noyes said it would be proper to grant some of the things the railroad asks for, but thatin the same connection certain concessions should be made to the District, ‘MR. NOYES DISPUTED THE ASSERTION. that the road had any contract right to the site occupied by their depot on a public reserva- tion, What the road first asked for was to have a depot where the Board of Trade wanted to put it. The clamor of the people for the road to enter the city, which had been referred to, was for the road to enter the city to a depot at the intersection of Virginia and Maryland avenues. The occupancy of the site in the public reservation was not a condi- tion of the road entering the city, for | the road was nearly completed before | the change was made from the Maryland and Virginia avenue site to that now occupied. The present site was given for temporary occupancy WHAT THE BOARD OF TRADE Asks. Mr. Noyes said that what the Board of Trade asked was in line with the recommendations of President Roberts with relation to the tracksin Philadelphia, It had been said that the difference was that Mr. Roberts spoke of passenger tracks. The Board of Trade pro; to bave the tracks sunk for but a short distance, and that gave an immense space for sidings and freight facili- ties. | At the close of Mr. Noyes’ remarks Dr. Chas, Allen nage in favor of the proposition to re- move the tracks from 6th street and Virginia avenue and the erection of a depot near Ist, south of B street. and for the road to pass | nearer the river, either to Long briige or a new bridge. TALKING ABOUT SILVER. Secretary Windom Before the Senate Republican Silver Committee Today. The Senate republican silver committee held a meeting this morning, at which Secretary Windom was present and expressed his views. He said the reason for his advocating the redemption in bul- lion of the certificates issued for the pur- chase of bullion was that it would make the THE DISTRICT IN CONGESS.

To require their redemption in silver dollars would be, in his opinion, to discredit them, while to require their re- demption in gold coin might seriously em- barrass the government. He was willing, how- ever, a8 @ measure of compromise, to give the holder of the certificate an option on the cur- rency in which it should be redeemed. THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION. After the Secretary had given his views upon the bill and the basis for them a discussion rather desultory in its nature took place = ee the subject of the sufficiency ol the circulation. Secretary Windom had stated to the committee that the total cir- culation was $1,426,000,000—an average of $21.70 per capita on a basis of 65,000,000 popula- tion. Actually, however, this eum was jt sry to diminution by the several amounts that are tied up in various ways, reserves, held for re- demption of notes, &c., 80 that the per capita amount of circulation was considerably less than €21.70. ‘The Secretary agreed with the Senators as he had with Rep- resentatives that au addition to the circulation was necessary, but in the conference today no | definite sum was named by any one. NO RESULTS REACHED AS YET, Another meeting of the committee will prob- ably be held this afternoon in order to ar- rive at an agreement upon the basis for a sil- ver bill. Some of the committee were in favor this morning of conceding the point insisted on by the Secretary, that of making the purchase certificates leemable in bullion. but to this the silver men say they will not agree un- der any ‘umstances, There is also a difference of opinion among the committeemen upon the proposition to make the purchase certificates legal tender, The silver men, who advocate th that based upon actual purchases of bullion, as they will be, the certificates would have a greater value behind them than do the €346,- | 000.000 greenbacks for the redemption of which but $1 000 in gold are provided. GEOLOGISTS OF THE WORLD. Congress of 1891—The Committee of Arrangements Meet Here. In the autumn of 1891 an important meeting of geologiets from all points of the world will be held in this country. It will be known as the Internatéonal Geological Congress and will be the fifth meeting of the kind ever held.
