Tt Made Things Very Lively in Several Localities in the District. The “wind rush” which visited this city yes- terday afternoon. ind rush” is the new name of the weather bureau for vigorous at- mospheric disturbances—slipped up on Wash- ington unawares and gave the weather bureau asurprise. There were indications of disturb- ances north and east of this section, and an off- shoot of the storm probably decided to blow over and rufile up staid old Washington asa side issue. Barometric indications did not por- tend a storm, but when that black cloud began to darken the western horizon the barograph— which registers the pressure of air—rose stead- ily. The “wind rush” struck Washington in streaks, the weather bureau says. There were three or four streaks, probably 100 feet wide and 400 feet long. The first one swept down upon the city in the neighborhood of 15th be- tween P and Q streets and all of them were in the northwest section, There was large amount of electricity in the air during the storm aud it is thought not unlikely that electrical con- ditions were allied to the origin of the storm. THE RUSH TO GET UNDER COVER. Happening as the storm did shortly after 4 o'clock, the streets ;down town were filled with department clerks on their way home and hun- dreds of them sought shelter in street cars and herdics, while others rushed into stores and houses to escape the fury of the storm. Al- thongh the storm lasted but a few minutes con- iderable damage was done. Houses in various parts of the city were unroofed, trees were up- rooted or partly destroyed, signs were blown away and two churches were sli damaged. The wires of the District fire alarm and t phone service came in for their share of the injary as usual, which is another plea for the underground ‘system. Fortunately the fire alarm Wires were not badly damaged, the tele- hone wires receiving the worst ot the trouble. whree patrol systems were put out of order. Luckily for the District the storm did not touch the Georgetown line, where the poles have been in service so many years as to render them unsafe. On the river the ste: boat captains aud persons in small boats were on the alert, and while a number of fishermen were caught out in small crafts, none of them were upset. ‘TWO CHURCHES INJURED. Hamline M. E. Church, corner of 9th and P streets, and St Luke's Parish Hall, corner of 15th and Madison streets, came in for their share of the damage. The frame cap on the tower of Hamline Church was blown off and sent across the street with such force that it made a bole in the house of Mr, Eugene Mc- Carthy, on the opposite corner, entering t! third-story window. ‘The front room was filled with debris and windows on other floors were shattered. On the ground floor tie iarge show window of Neison’s drug store aud the stock in the window were destroyed. Although Mr. McCarthy was on the third floor of the hou: he was not injured, as the noise of the breal ing tower warned bim aud caused him to run to another room. The damage to the house amounted to sev- eral hundred dollars, while Mr. Melson’s loss is not more than $100, At St. Luke’s Parish Hall the top of the tower was blown off, leaving the remainder of it in am apparently dangerous condition, re- quiring the street to be roped off, which was done by the police. in the viewity of Hamline Church several trees were either uprooted or damaged and the house of Mr. Lewis, corner of Yh and O streets. was damaged by the falling of a heavy br.ck ehimney. Tho bricks fell on the tin roof and made a large hole in it. ‘Three houses on 11th between P and Q strects and one on 3d street, in the line of the storm, were unroofed, ax was Sweeney # coffee mill on New Jersey avenue, IN THR NORTHEAST SECTION, In the northeast section of the city the storm seemed more severe than in other sections and veral houses suffered damage, although no one was injured. Along tho line of H street, just this side of the old toli gate, several trees were blown down. Many persons fearing their houses would be blown down left them and went ito the streets, Two boys w blown from their bicycles, but neither of then received any injury. A carriage. containing Miss Kersha: in the Treavury Department, und hi was blown over on the Anucostia br both ladies were imjured. Miss Kerabaw o caped with a sprained ankie, while her mother's injuries were wore serious. in Rosedale weveral housos were unroofed and several trees were blown down. ‘The henve of Mr. J. 1. MeCarthy, 1612 15th street, was almost completely unrooted. A tree, nearly 100 feet tall and more than three fees through at the base, was blown across the roof of No. 1131 Sth xtreet northeast. John N. Wright, jr.. and bis family were in the honse &t the time. Lat uo one was injured.

It has had in Europe the beuefit of wide and extended ex- perience and meets with little, it any, opposi- tion im practice. But there is one proposi- tion in Mr. Hemming elaboration of the idea which I think should be amended, and that is the salary of the assessors; to induce men of ntly interpret and ter a law whieh proposes such a radical ry ease: tial for a fair test and to give the new methods ‘an honest trial that men be selected of caliber iu harmony with the magnitude of the under- taking.

RAILROADS WITHOUT TROLLEYS. Other Systems Available—A Successful Con- duit Road in Buda-Pesth. The general objection all over the country to the introduction of trolley wires for electric street railroads in the city streets has excited interest in the question as to whether there are not other systefhis of local transportation that eee give to the public all the advantages claimed for trolley roads, and at the same time not disfi gure the streets, place citizens in dan- ger of death by electrocution or perpetuate the overhead wire evil. The trolley, where intro- duced, has been justified in suburban districts on the ground of ite cheapness of construction and operation, but all authorities seem to be agreed in condemning its use in urban streets. Naturally the pecuniary interest of those whose capital is involved in street railroad schemes influences them in bebalf of the trolley and leads them to endeavor to impress upon the public the belief that the trolley system is the only practically successful electric system, In the report made last October to the President and Congress by the electrical commission that considered “the location, arrangement and op- eration of electric wires in the District of Co- lumbia” the commissiva aid: “All that we can suggest upon the suoject of electric street railway regnlations is that, necessity being the mother of invention, the application of under- ground and other unobjectionable methods in the place of those now applied will not ma- terially progress until the municipalities exact either the underground wire or storage bat- tery propelled systems in the piace of the over- head in the central or populous sections or the eable system.” OTHER AVAILABLE svaTEMS, There have been several syatems developed not using electricity for motive power. The ‘success of the cable system, of course, isa well- demonstrated fact, Though the attempt to in- troduce compressed air a8 a motive power on the 7th street road hax not proved successful it is claimed that since this road was conatracted modifications have been made rendering neces sary the use of a cable which have overcome the difficulties met in the early experiment in this city and fairly placed compressed air in the liat of ‘available motive power for street rail- roads. It 1s said that aline is successfully operated with this motive powor at Pullman, i. So far as electric roads are concerned, how- ever. it will be difficult to make residents of Washington believe that the trolley ays- tem is the only available one, when storage battery cars “are ran most successfully every day and every hour on one of the city lines, It is quite frequently asserted that ho conduit system in which the wire, ng the electric wire is below the ur- | face of ihe street has proved successful, but - reports show that there is at least one © 1 now in most successful operation, road in Buda-Festh, Hung: ‘The report of the electrical commission .terred to above says: “There can be no doubt of the practicability of underground wiring in the matter of eicetrical propulsion, but so long ax the street railway companies can obtain the permit they will not find it expedient to add 510,000 or more per mile to their investments. ‘The continuous operation of an electric street railway system on the underground system at Buda-Pesth.

WHAT HAS BERN DONE UNDER THE REQUIRE- MENTS OF OONGRESS—MANY MILES OF NEW RAILS LAID—AMBIGUITY OF THE LAW—THE CHANGES ON THE WASHINGTON AND GEORGR- TOWN AND METROPOLITAN ROADS. ‘The Commissioners this afternoon made re- sponse to the Senate resolution of April 8, 1892, directing them “‘to inform the Senate what railroad companies operating their roads in said District have failed for the period of two years from March 2, 1889, to exercise the powers and privileges given them in regard to changing the motive power of their roads by the provision of the District appropriation act approved on the date aforesaid; and if the companies so failing have complied with the requirement of said act as to causing rails and roadbeds used by them to be level with the surface of tho streets upon each side of snid tracks or roadbeds; and if the said companies have not complied with the law, whether t Commissioners have taken the steps required of tnem by the act aforesaid to compel the observance of the provisions heretofore sct forth; and it no steps havo been taken by them toentorce the luw, as they were directed to do, what is the cause of such failur For answer to the inquiry as to change of motive power und tracks under the provision on that subject in the District appropriation act of March 2, 1889, the Commissioners state that so far as their information extends the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany and the Metropolitan Railroad Company aro the only companies at the date of said act “authorized by iaw to run cars propelled by horses within the Dutrict of Columbia” which have elected to substitute for horses “‘on any part of its tracks or ruadbeds” any of the me- chanical powers enumerated in vaid law. ‘the extent of track, changed and unchanged, on April 25 last, wlicn an examination was made, the Commissioners report as follows: Metropolitan Railroad Company—Lengthjof track, 97,039 feet—-18 1999-5280 miles; length of improved girder rail laid, 45,000 feet. Washington and Georgetown Kailroad Com- pany-—Lenuth of track, 81,200 feet—15 378-1000 miles; improved rails throughout, with excep- tion of about 3,000 feet at car house, Navy Yard, Peace monument and power house, Lith street northwest, Will be complete and in ‘operation August, 1892.

Capitol, North O Street and South Washing- ton Railroad Commpany—The improved girder groove ruil, amounting in length to 140,86) feet, equal to 70,430 of track, has been laid throughout the entire length, with the exccp- tion ofa short space adjacent to the new power house of the Washington und Georgetown Rail- road Company on Iith street northwest, Anacostia Railroad Company—Length of traci, 100 miles; length of girder rail laid, 1 100 males. As the work has been progressing constantly since, the extont to be changed as censider- ably diminished, THE CHANGE OF MoTIV For answer to the “as to the steps taken by the Commissioners to compel the observance of the law ou the subject,” the Commissioners say “that their interpretation of this unusually ambignous law was and is that all railroad companies using horses as motive power were allowed two years in which to de- cide upon and arrange for the required changes and one year and ninety days there- after in which to complete the work. In case of their failure to begin to change their tracks after the expiration of said two years the Conmissioners were to give them notice, and in the event of their failure to complote tho work in one year and ninety days the Com- missioners were to cause the changes to be made at the companies’ expense. The Com- mixsioners did not give the notice mentioned, Their reason for such omission was their con- struction of the law as to when such notice was to be given. The most natural abd rea- sonable inference seemed to them to be that the notice was not to be given until, upon the expiraticn of the two years, it should appear that saia companies had not compijed with the act or were not in good faith and with due diligonce endeavoring to do #0, ‘This is obvious from the phraseology of the requirement which gives the Commissioners one year and ninety days to do the work alter such notice and docs not prescribe oc in any wise imply that thut time shail be included within the two years, But long before the two years expired the two compauies mentioned and all others which at the tine of the pas- sage of the aforesaid law were using horses for mutive power had well under way and were energetically prosecuting the work of chang- ing their tracks to grooved raily and laying them and the roadbeds tluah with the surface of the streets they occupied. ‘This was a mat- ter of which the Commusioners were fully POWER. aware, ‘The work could not have becn hastened by uny otice from — them. As the — requirement of the — law to give notice was obviously dependent upon the failure of the companies to “begin” the work within two years from March 2, 1889, the prompt commencement and rexsonuble prog- ress of that work obviated the necessity for the notice, THE CHANGES IN PROORESS, Congress modified its requirements with re- spect to these two roads by the provision in the act of August 6, 1890 (U. 8. Stats.-at-Large, vol. 26, page 310), prescribing thut “any street railroad company operating a une oc lines of strect railroad from Georgetown to aud beyond the Capitol grounds failing to make a change in ity mouve power to underground cable oF electricity or change its rails as aforesaid, within two years from that date should forfeit ity" corporate franchise.” ‘Thus Congress in effect gave the Wasiington and Georgetown Kuilroad Company and the Metro- politon Kuilroud Company notice that the time for making such chauges was extended two months and six days louger than the maximum limit fixed for all horse railroads by the act of March 2, 1989, Under the interpretation of the iaw the Washingioa and Georgetown Rail- roud Company and the Metropolitan Iuilrond Company have until August 6, 1892, aud the other horse railrouds in the Distriet until June 1, 1892. to complete suid work. ‘Ihe Com- missionera have not only constantly kept them seives apprised of the steps the companies have made to effect compliance with said I but have from time to time, as necessity ap- peared, conferred with the representatives of said companies concorniug the work, aud be- lieve that they have taken all the steps in the matter required of them by tuw and their sense of duty.

The report says: The squadron received every civility from the administration and authorities of the port. The Essex joined the flag at Ensenada on the 13th, “I went with wy personal staff to Buenos Ayres, placed myself in communication with the minister of the United States and on March 14 was presented by him to his excellency, Senor Pellegrini, the president of the Argen- tine Republic, Talso paid my respects to the ministers of foreign affairs and war (the latter portfolio ia- cluding the navy, which isa section of the war h 16 President Pellegrini, accom- panied by the ministers mentioned’ above, Rear Admiral Cordero, chi of staff of the Argentine navy; Rear Admiral Solier, com- manding the active squadron, and several other officers of the navy aud army, and escorted by the United States minister, visited the squad- ron, coming in aspecial traiv from Bucnos Ayres, and was received on board the Chicago with the honors duo the head of the state.

Upon the president's leaving the Chicago, in addition to manning the yards and displaying the Argentine flag at the main, sa- lutes of twenty-one guns were fired by the Chicago, Atlanta and Benniugton, special per- mission to fire in the port having been ob- tained, The Argentine squadron had anchored off the jettics and soou after the salute to the cweipred was fired, the Almirante Lrown sa- luted the United States flag with twenty-one guns, which salute was returned by the Chi- cago, the Argentine flag being displayed. in March 17 I culled upon the governor of Buenos Ayres, Senor Costa, at his oficial resi- dence at La Platta, which city became the cap- ital of the province upon the federalization of the city of Buenos Ayres, The province is by far the richest and most important one in the republic and ite governor occupies a position next in importance to that of the president. On March 19 Senor Costa returned my cali and with his minister of public works and sev- eral other vfficials breakfasted with me.
