The Secretary of War today sent to the Dis- trict Commissioners reports by Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, and Maj. C. E. L. B. Davis upon House bill 10210 to authorize the Wash- ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric | Railway Company to construct a bridge across | the Potomac river and to construct # railroad over the same and through certain streets and reservations of Washington. | The reports of Brig. Gen. Casey, chief of | engineers, and Maj. Davis follow: | Gen. Casey, in his report, briefly reeapitu- | lates the views expressed by Sia). Davis and in- ‘Major Davis’ report says: dorses them he provisions of the bill relating to the loca- tion of the proposed bridge are found in sec- tion 1, lines 11 to 18 inclusive, and are as fol lows: “‘*Aeross that portion of the Arlington reser- | vation, in the state of Virginia, which adjoins | the Potomac river, to a point on said river | between Analostan Island and Long bridge, | where the said company is hereby authorized to construct and maintain a bridge across suid | river on such plans as the Secretary of War | may approve and from thence across the re- | claimed flats north of the tidal reservoirs to the ion of Band 17th streets northwest.” hese provisions fix the location of the pro- | | posed bridge and crossing of the fiats just north | MeDon: | of und approximately parallel to the line of the | hi sewer canal, or about one mile above the Long bridge. The Long bridge is now the only ; The United States, however, proposes to build | a bridge on or near the line of New York ave- nue extended to afford direct and con- venient communication with the National cemetery at Arlington. A resolution of the Senate of May 24, 1886, called for areport upon a government bridge, with a ble draw, at this locality, and a report was submitted by Lieut. Col. P. C.

February 20, 1899, the Senate called for a report upon | of New York avenue, ‘soas to connect the public grounds on both sides of the Potomac nver, * * * and not interfere with the navigation of said river,’ and in compliance therewith the same officer submitted a report with plans of a suspension bridge with a clear height above the river at midchannel of 105 “In compliance with a resolution of the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds of April 18, 1892, I submitted a report upon the subject of constructing a bridge at this same point with an estimate of the cost of the same. It may be, therefore, fairly assumed that Congress intends, at no distant day, to build a suitable bridge to Arlington on ‘the line of New York avenue, which will make ample provision for communication between the two shores, und as the expense of a high bridge would be very great the presumption is the bridge will be provided with a draw. he navigation of the Potomac river is assuming great proportions and the unneces- sary multiplication of bridges is an obstruction to commerce and not advisable, and it would be a short-sighted policy to permit every rail- road which wishes to exter the city to build a bridge across the Potomac. Several roads may and should be required to unite in the use of one bridge. THE OCCUPATION OF THE RECLAIMED FLATS. “The bill also provides for crossing the re- claimed area of the Potomac river. No limit is assigned to the width of the right of way, nor is any provision made for compensation to the United States for tke ground proposed to | be occupied. Indeed, there seems to be a very general desire on the ‘part cf corporations and | individuals to occupy the Potomac flate, which have been reclaimed at great cost, without even the suggestion of compensation. In my opinion the surrender of this public ground for any use by railroads, corporations or individuals is in- advisable and will interfere with the plans for its future improvement. “Congress by act approved February 28, 1891, incorporated the Washington and Ariing- ton Railway Company of the District of Co- lumbia, with permission to build a bridge across the Potomac at the Three Sisters, and section 10 of the act provides, that the tracks and ap- proaches to the bridge may be freely used for the passage of cars with motive power of the | kind described in the act, belonging to any in- dividual or corporation legally authorized, upon just compensation for such use. The bridge when built will accommodate all the travel of both the Washington and Arlington RailwayCom- ny and the Washington and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company, and do so without unnecessarily interfering with navigation. “In view of the above considerations I ‘am of the opinion that the bridge proposed in the pending bill would be preju to the pubhe | interests, is unnecessary for the accommoda- tion of traffic, which can be better accommo- dated farther up the river, and I therefore recommend that the bill, so far as it relates to the crossing of the Potomac river at the lo- cality named, do not pase.” A Silver Conference, Senator Allison, delegate; Mr. Faulkner, secretary, and Mint Director Leach, advisory expert of the American commission at the in- ternational monetary conference, had an in- formal talk with Secretary Foster at the Treas- ury Department today in regard to the silver situation and the preparation of material for use at.the adjourned meeting of the confer- ence at Brussels in May next. ~ Mr. Bi Biography. ‘Mrs. Blaine has given to the press the fol- lowing statement: The public advertisements of many “Biographies of James G.

MAKING ROUNDS OF CALLS. Beautifal Houses Thrown Open to Visitors— Numerous Pretty Receptions and Lunch- eons—Ladies Who Are at Home—Personal Notes of Interest. The milder temperature might have bad something to do with the causes which filled each of the cabinet houses to the very doors with visitors yesterday afternoon, but the fact that only one more Wednesday remains on which the ladies of the present cabinet will re- ceive formally had probably a great deal more to do with it. consensus of opinion at the recent m of the cabinet ladies was that it behooved them all to make the conclud- ing days of their semi-official hospitalities just gs bright and gey as possible, so as to endeavor to somewhat the depressing remem- brances which have made the present adminis- tration such a sad one in its home relations. ‘Mrs. and Miss Foster, wife and daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury, had a brilliant reception.
