THE ROCK CREEK PROJECT. Commissioner Koseell's Report on the Sub- Sect. THE COST OF THE WORK AND) TRE RESULTS— THE PROFOSAL TO TURN THE CREEK INTO A GENERAL SEWER NOT FAVORED—THE LAND ALONG TRE CREEK—THE OBSTRUCTING DAM. Capt. Wm. T. Rossell, the Engineer Com- missioner, today formally replied to the Senate resolution directing him to prepare plaus, speci- fications and estimates for converting Rock cteek into a closed sewer and filling in between the banks of the creek below the north line of Maesachusetts avenue; also to prepare an esti- mate of the value to the government of the land reclaimed by such work in excess of the probable judgment of condemnation. It will be recalled that Capt. Rossel detailed Capts. Lusk and Fiebeger tq examine into and report upon the matter. Their reports have already appeared in Tae Stan. pt. Rosseil'g report, which, as stated above, was transmitted today, together with the reports of Capte. Lusk and Ficbeger, is as follows: “No appropriation was made to gather date for this report, aud I was dependent on the regular force of the engineer department at such times as they could be spared from their regular and routine duties. “As the first part of this resolntion refers to the use of Rock creek asa sewer, I referred the matter to Capt. J. L. Lusk, corps of engineers, U.S.A. my assistant, who immediate charge of the sewer department. Capt. Lusk’s report, which is appended tomine, is a valuable one, and U ask attention toit. ‘Although not required by the resolution to express an opinion as to the advisability of using Rock creek asa sewer, I feel it my duty to call attention to the report of a board of experts on the subject of sewage disposal, which is now before Congress, and is printed as Ex. Doc. No. 445, H. R., Fifty first Congress, first session. “This board proposed to keep se: that part of the river in front of Washington and Georgetown and empty all sewage into the Potomac some distance below these cities. This plan is now being carried out (very slowly) in all new sewers constructed. It would seem to me very unwise to take any backward step in this matter or to delay it by some very large expenditures for work not in line with a proper sewage disposal. Rock creek, however, must always remain a drainage line for the large aren from which it now carries the water, and no pines of sewage disposal would be prepared looking to its abandonment. The creek is not in any sense a menace to health if {t merely carries storm water, uncontaminated with sew- age, whether it remains an open conduit or is arched over. For the above reasons I have construed the inquiry as applying to Rock creck a8 a covered sewer for uncontaminated storm water. ‘THE CROSS SECTION REQUIRED. “The next question which arose was the cross nection necesrary to carry off, without injury, the largest volume of water that may be expected from the area drained. ‘This area, for much the greater part, is at present of a rural character, composed of cultivated and unculti- vated fields, forest and meadow land. Lying near the boundary of Washington this charac- ter will change, sooner. or later, to a suburban character, and a portion of it to'an urban char- acter. These changes increase the rapidity with which the storm water will enter the creek, and also the percentage that it bears to the total rainfall. A careful study of the prob- Jem has been made, and it ia believed that a solution has been found sufficiently accurate for a preliminary cstimate. It will require an arch with a span of fifty feet and a height from the bottom to crown of the arch of 3 giving an area of cross section equal to 1, square feet. ‘Thix cross section with a sl 1 to 1,000 may be expected to carry off 18,000 cubic feet per second, aud unde .5 feet, 24,000 cubic feet.’ Under conditions of surface somewhat less favorable toa rapid discharge than those now existing the highest freshet discharge measured at the mouth of the sewer was at the rate of about 10,000 cubic fest per necond. ‘a careful study of this m should be made for about double that rate. It ia proper to say however, that further examination should be made before the work is done. *-Inaddition,most careful examinations should be made as to the foundations. TUE RECLAIMED LAND. “After the construction of this sewer there re- mains the fill-in between the banks, makirig ful land now so situated as to be compara- tively useless and obliterating the creck ax a| barrier between Washington and Georgetown. This land is now owned by individuals and, to Vecome the property of the pnblic, musi be condemned. In extent it comprises 4,433,342 square feet. “Again, the rights of tho Chesapcake and Ohic Canal Company in the lower part of the creek must be bought. The canal company now use the lower part of the creek to transfer boats to the river, and it would probably be satisfactory to this ‘company if they were pro- vided with some other outlet without expense to them. It is submitted that this would cost, roughly speaking, from $100,000 to $150,000. After this there would be required to fill be- tween banks 5,208,310 cubic yards of material. The measurements of the land to be'acquired by condemnation, together with cost of same and of grading, with the price that might be expected for the land after completion, has been reported on by my assistant, Capt. G. J. Fiebeger, corps of engineera, U.S. A., whgre report is appended. ‘This report has been care- fally prepared and is approved by me. ‘THE COST AND THE RESULTS, “What will be the condemned value of any piece of land it is impossible to say, and I only attempt tomake avery roughapproximation. To say what will be the selling value of the land after the improvementisalso a matter of specu- lation, but I believe that double the condemna- tion value is conservative. I therefore submit the following estimates, for the details of which I refer to my assistants’ reports: CONVERTING ROCK CREEK INTO A COVERED SEWER, AND FILLING BETWEEN BANK From the north line of Massachusetts avenue to the Potorane river: vost of covered waterway.

Clark is ex- tremely critical, the accident, which occurred over a week ago, proving more serious than at first supposed. ‘The ‘affair was witnessed by Surgeon General Wyman, who states he saw a young man in attempting to board a moving cable car knock against Mr. Clark, throwing him across the track on which a car was rush- ing from the opposite direction. Both cars stopped very promptly, but, as was stated in ‘Tue Stax, Mr. Clark sustained serious injuries. Mr. Clark is a well known and respected citizen of Washington, His family consists of a wife, married daughter and a young son, who bears his father’s nam ——— Filthy Car Tickets. To the Editor of The Evening Star: If the handling of foul and filthy government currency is likely to develop and spread disease, as suggested recently in Congress, what must be the effect on the people of Washington by the continuons use of the nasty, soiled and gummy old car tickgta issued by the Washing- ton and Georgetown Cable Railroad Company: ‘This company, however, incloses its six pes tiferous old tickets for ‘a quarter in a sinall quack medicine advertising envelope, which prescribes a certain remedy for “all ‘wasting diseases.” Is this medicine, thus advertised by the cable railroad company, for the relief of those who become infe by handling the diseased old tickets, or is the board of managera of the corporation interested in the quack medicine trust? ‘The stock of this railroad company is priced at over seven times iza par value, which indicates | thorough | versation. | and related them with that dryness and gravity | | to bring herself more in contact with the world, adegree of prosperity which ' will justify the issue of none but new, clean tickets, and avoid the peculiar style of advertising of specific cures for infection caused by handling disease- breeding, filthy old coupons. i.

She is Relaxing the Privacy in Which She Has So Long Lived. London Cable to the New York Herald. There can be no doubt that the queen is making a change in her habits, which many of her loyal subjects look upon with great interest, | mingled, perhaps, with surprise. She is relax- ing in no slight degree the privacy in which he has lived, and is entering into certain social festivities which for many years have been banished from court. It is very like she is doing this more for the sake of others than to please herself. She may feel that the younger members of her family onght to have a little amusement occasionally, and that wile they live with her they cannot get it without her | permission. | There is Princess Beatrice, who is always with the queen and whose children are there | quite ax much as the Duke of Connaught’s chil- dren, who are also a great deal with their grand- | mother. Altogether there are a great many | young folks about, eo that the queen may nat- urnlly have felt it was in some sense her duty to | modify the austere seclusion in which she has | lived since the denth of the prince consort. The queen herself, moreover, is not at all of that brooding and ‘morose disposition which | many people attribute to her. She is natarally | of acheerfal temperament —no one has a taore enjoyment in lively or amusing con- | That was always raid to be one of the reasons why the first took #0 strong @ per- sonal liking to Benjamin Disraeli, who told her lively stories of what was going on in society which everybody found irresiatibie. She can be serious enough upon proper oeca- sion, as most people who have to transact | business with her find out, but she can also | unbend. Then she is known to be one of the | most charming women in the world, as well she | may be. considering the enormous range of her | knowledge, her experience and the vigor of her | intellectual faculties. The operatic and dramatic performances given before her last year indicated her desire but the most striking occurrence hus been her sanction of the tableaux vivanta which Princess Beatrice Las been the prime means of getting | up at Osborne daring the last ten days. | ‘This is the time of year at which the queen | has hitherto avoided anything approaching so- | cial entertainments, It is associated with her | heaviest bereavements. Seldom, indeed, have ere entered her household until the Christmas and New Year celebrations have been all over. This is the first year in which she kas made any signal departure from her custom. | ‘The performances which have taken place at Osborne Honse were not given merely for the | benefit of her own family, but strangers were invited, some of them entirely uuknown, ex- cept by their positions or names, to ber majesty. On Wednesday last, for instance, @ great number of residents of the Isle of Wight were honored with invitations, and, I dare say, some of them will never cease to talk of the wonderful tableanx virants in which the chief parts were played by the Duke of Connanght, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice and theit children, What sight for there beavy provincials to see Arthur, Duke of Connaught, | laying King Alfred in the neatherd’s but and | being roundly scolded for allowing the cakes to get burned. ‘The descriptions of these won- drous things will keep many en Isle of Wight home quite fashionable for at least a twelve- month to come. Then all the naval officers who happened to be near at hand were bidden to the show. It cannot, thorefore, be said that the queen is sel- fish in her enjoyiments. She treated her neighbors with true old English hospitalit; just us the Prince of Wales treate his at | Sandringham. There a very bounteous supper spread in the dining roum, and, need-| less to say, all the arrangements were of the | mort perfect kind. | Astor the actual performances, » lady who was present informs me they could not have been more beautifully rendered even if the actors and actresses had been taken from the real stage. ‘The Duke of Connaught and Prin- cess Beatrice won especially loud praises, the queen applauding most heartily. Now that the ice is fairly broken it is hoped the queen may do a little more to encourage the regular drama, whica stands sorely in need of a little fillip from some quarter or other. —a Fires. A chimney on fire at 429 8th street southwest caused an alarm of fire yesterday. About 11:20 o'clock last nighta fire took place at 1417 P street, occupied as a furniture store by Brown & Co. and owned by Mrs. O'Leary. ‘The stock was damaged several hundred dol- lars and Freeman's barber shop, adjoining, $25. ‘The origin of the fire ia unknown. The firemen had great difficulty in keeping the flames from spreading to adjoining property. | oe i! respectable | A Catt Box registered the fire signal in the Mutual District Messenger Company at 1310 Connecticut avenue last evening and the fire- | men went ont, but were informed that a cab was | wanted and a mistake had been made some- where.
