It is Said That He Will Be the New Secre- tary of State. Cure yao, Feb, 9% —The Herald this morning prints the following New Yorn, Feb. § —Judge Walter Q. Gresham of Chicago is to be Secretary of State in the Cleveland administration. This fact be- came known bere today to a few persons. The offer of the post has been made to Judge resham and he bas accepted it. Mr. Cleve- 4 himself will make the fact known in a day or two, The Heraid this. morning has the following: Judge Gresham refused last night to discuss the Gispatch from New York relative to his accept- ance of a cabinet portfolio. ‘This action on the part of the eminent jurist, when taken in conjunction with the quest the Herald reporter, is equivalent to an ac- knowledgment that he had accepted the pre- miership. It will be readily understood that Judge Gresham could not talk on the subject until Mr. Cleveland had announced the selec- tions. It is positively stated in this city and ap- parently beyond question that Judge Gresham has been settled upon as Secretary of State | under Mr. Cleveland. > — DIED A HERO'S DEATH. Albert Grau Tried to Save Others From Fire and Verished ta the Attempt. Crxerxsart, Ouro, Feb. 9.—Smoke was seen issuing from a third-tloor window above John Heider’s restaurant, at 265 and 267 West Sth street, at 3:55 o'clock this morning. ‘The blaze raged furiously, having gained a firm and at the same time a mysterious hold in the rear of the buildings, which are frame kitchen sheds, From the third floor it soon leapet to the top floor, the fourth. and « general alarm was sent in, summon- ing a dozen engines. The fire spread to the upper floors of the vacant building adjoining at the east and then to the topof the structure adjoining at the west, occupied by GA. Heider as a restaurant. Heider and his daughter Annie, occupants of the living rooms above, escaped without much difficulty The ghastly discovery that four human beings had perished in the fiames was not made until about 6 o'clock. Albert Grau, a fireman in the restaurant. died the death of a hero. Being a strong and vigorous man he might have saved himself. The «mell of smoke aroused him and he rushed to the doors of the apartments occu- pied by the Heidersand kicked violently at each shouting. “The building is afire,” arousing the entire family. He made sure of their safety and then rushed back to the floor above to save Fred. Detzler, a waiter, Gottleib Munzinger, a nd Joe Munsur, a helper. While he was g to arouse them heavy gusts of smoke ponred through the stairway, by means of which the Heiders just made their escape, He continued to r the doors, although neciousness was fleeting. The position of the body when discovered showed that he had clutched madly at his throat. He doubtless at the moment recoguized that escape was then impossible should he attempt it. — WRECK OF THE TRINACRIA. Loss of an Anchor Line Steamer With = Number of Lives.

It is declared by some of the silver men who are in a position to know the temper of the House that had a compromise been offered pro- viding for the coinage of 2,000,000 a month in the place of the present purchase of sil- ver, two-thirds of the democrats would have voted for it. Mr. Cleveland was at one time disposed to accept such a compromise, but was argued out of it. ——___-e-__—__ For the Construction of » Will. Jeseph A.

Mr. Thurston, the head of the Hawaiian commission, sought an interview with the Secretary of State as soon as he heard of the report and immediately on his departure Secretary Foster proceeded to the White House and acquainted the Presi- dent with the latest phase of the gituation ‘Mneh surprise is expressed at Minister Stevens action in establishing a protectorate in advance | of specific instructions to that effect, but offi- cinl utterances on that point are withheld un- til the receipt of official dispatches, expected this afternoon, which will undoubtedly give full explanation of the causes for such action. SECRETARY FOSTER DECLINES TO TALK. Secretary Foster, in pursnance to the policy that he chas adopted in dealing with this whole matter, declined to discuss Minister Stevens’ action, but stated that there |had been no communication sent from the department to Mr. Stevens for his guidance since the note of January 18, in which | bis action in connection with the ‘establish- | ment of the provisional government was 9 proved. Mr. Thurston, the head of the annexation commission, was in consultation with the Secretary at =the ‘time the news was received with reference to the | next conference between the commissioners and the Secretary, which was fixed for this after- noon at 3 o'clock. When the Hawaiian visitors were informed of | the existence of the protectorate, which was be- jfore the, arrival of the dispateh giving the details of its establishment, they jall agreed in the opmion that” there ‘ad been no outbreak requiring the | action of the United States minister, but | that it was due to threats of trouble. Mr. Carter sud that among some members {of the provisional government the sen- | timent had prevailed before the depart- jtare of the commissioners for — the | United States that a protectorate should be sought. But this feeling bad been | discouraged by himself and Mr. Thurston, they | believing that the government could stand |upon its own bottom pending the nego- | tiations with this country. When the details | arrived and were communicated to them, Mr. | ‘Thurston and his associates said that the whites who had made the tronble to which the Hono- tutu Advertiser referred comprised what was known asthe “opium gang,” politicians and their assoctates who wonld be known m this country as ward strikers or “‘heelers.” THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ITEM OF NEWS. Mr. Kinney of Salt Lake, who accompanies the commission in the capacity of counsel, said that the most significant item of news in the dispatches from Honoluln was: ‘There have been indications of dissensions existing among the members of the executive council.” | “This,” he said, “betrays the grentest danger which now threatens the government. The | members of the council are men who| have been clothed with authority without any previous experience in the exer- cise of it, and without the restraining force of a protectorate they would inevitably have divided into factions and_ worked at cross purposes. A protectorate confirming the gov- ernment in its control of affairs was absolutely The Hawaiians are the most per- eir Mr. Kinney said that the drowning of Miss Stevens, daughter of the American minister, had probably occurred at Hawali while she was inbathing. “Hawaii is the largest island of the group and some distance from Honolulu. Of the two gentiemen who were named a having arrived at San Francisco on the Au tralia Mr. Kinney said that Paul Neuman was, as has been stated, the former attor- ney general in the cabinet of the deposed queen and comes to this country as her personal representative, his errand _ be- ing to prevent to the government of the United States her side of the controversy. | Prince David isa nephew of the queen, and | was an inferior chief prior to the bestowment upon him by King Kalakaua of the compli- mentary title of prince. ‘The Hawaiians and the officials of the State | and Navy Departments expect ndvices from their representatives Inter in the day. LACK OF OFFICIAL INFORMATION. While there is no doubt in official circles of the authenticity of the report that Minister | Stevens has established a protectorate over the | Hawaiian Islands in the name of the} United States there is a painful lack | of official information on the subject | at the Stato and Navy Departments, in the absence of which the heads of those ‘depart- ments are naturally averse to discussing the matter in any form, Official advices from Minister Stevens and —_ Captain Wiltse of the Loston have been looked for ever since the arrival of the Hawaiian steamer et San Francisco, but nothing has been heard from either of them up to 3 o'clock this afternoon. This caused some surprise, as it was expected that the dispatch agent at San Francisco wonld make it his business to tel- egraph at once any important intelligence con- tained in the mail from Hawaii. THE MOHICAN NEAR HONOLULU. ‘The U.S.S. Mohican, with Admiral Skerrett on board, left San Francisco on the 29th ultimo, and is now undoubtedly near the port of Honolulu. . Admiral Skerrett has special instructions for his guid- ance in Hawaiian matters and will assume com- mand of United States military forces as soon as he arrives, ‘The Hawaiian commissioners are having a conference with Secretary Foster at the State Department this afternoon. THE INJUNCTION OF SECRECY REMOVED. When the Senate at 12 o'clock went into | | | executive session it released the injunc- tion of secrecy upon the correspondence between the United States and the British and French governments from 1842 to 1844 respecting the seizure of the Hawaiian Islands by Lord Paulet for the British govern- ment. The correspondence. ends with the declaration by the British and French repre- sentatives of the independence of Hawaii jand their guarantee never to seek possession of the islands. The news of the estab- | lishment of the protectorate on the part of the | American minister was read and met with al- | most genera! approval. ‘THE COMMISSIONERS PLEASED. ‘The members of the Hawaiian commission now in this city to secure the annexation of the islands heard-this morning of the establish- ment of a protectorate over the islands by the American minister, but they seemed | rather pleased than otherwise at the news, | The first news they received was from the newspaper men, but later in the day they had {telegrams from’ San Francisco that brought | them the information in an official form. Still the word they had was by no means as fullas the telegrams received from the news ‘agency and today they were really learning = ‘as much about the Hawaiian situation as were telling. _Mr. Thurston, the chairman of the annexa- tion commission, sad to a Stax reporter that, in their estimation, the establishment of a pro- tectorate did vot change the situation nt all-so far as they were concerned. The action of the minister was a result of the request of the pro- Visional government, and was in direct line STAR-. WASHINGTON, D. C., ‘who used to sit upon the throne of Hawail, and the commission ook as 8 mant- factured scion of nobility. Mr. Thurston further said that they had no took landings on the islands.

There is often a sweep of forty feet or more and it is not altogether a plcssaat thing to be drawn up through the air yy rope, and accidents are not ungpmmon. THE HAWAIIANS AND THEIR GOVERNMENT. Sax Franctsco, Feb. 9.—Capt. W. G. Good- win of the schooner Robert Lewis, which ar- rived from Honolulu late last night, in an in- terview says: “TI left Honoluln on January 81, two days after the sailing of the Claudine. At the timo of our departure and during our stay there things were quiet. The provisional govern- ment is in full control of affairs and the marines from the steamer Boston are still on duty. “The new administration seems to be popular with the natives, who seem to care very little what sort of a government they have. As far as I could gather from the talk on the islands the queen nor any one of her official household has not communi- cated with the United States or England for the purpose of securing sympathy. The natives of the islands are not inclined to mis- chief making and are taking the changed con- dition of affairs very quietly. “The queen, from what i could learn, yery angry at her overthrow, but I belie impossible for her tu gather a force sufficiently large to recover by warfare the kingdom she has lost. The provisional government seems firmly established and the new officials are working together in harmony. “Perfect unanimity of sentiment exists and the people are strictly observing every law. Complete organization has been effected not only in the carrying on of the business of the, government, but in the military departmeng. “The Intler has been largely recruited by volunteers, aud is now in a condition to carry on a vigorous campaign if such should be necessary. When I left no trouble was antici- pated from any quarter.” UTAH PASSES ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS, The following despatch was received today by Delegate Caine of Utah. Sanur Laxe Ciry, Utah, Feb. 8, 1893. Hon. John TT. Caine, Washington, D. C.: At a mass meeting of the business men of Salt Lake City, held at the theater, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas the government of the Hawaiian Islands, by its duly authorized representatives, petitions to have the said islands annexed to the United States, and Whereus the business men of Salt Lake City fully recognize the many and great advantages that would inure to our nation both commer- inlly and geographically if said islands should become part of our country; therefore be it Resolved, That our honorable delegate in | Congress. John T. Caine, is hereby eurnestly requested to use his influence to hasten the an- nexation of the said Hawaiian Islands to the United States, Tur. Bustxrss Mrx’s Assoctatioy, Secretary. " ACTION. 8. T. PEeansox Opinions of Several Members of Congress in Regard to It. Representative Blount, chairman of the House committee on foreign affairs, said: ‘He isa pretty lively minister to proclaim a protec- torate on his own motion.” REPRESENTATIVE M'CREARY. Representative MoCreary was non-committal. He had always regarded Minister Stevens asa capable officer and hesitated to criticise his ac- tions without knowing more of the details. Mk. OUTHWAITE. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio, chairman of the committeo on military affairs, said: “I don't know that any danger to American lives or property was imminent, and without that or without instruction or authority from this gov- ernment, no difference what requests were made by the provisional government, the pro ceeding w: ch-handed outrage. “It looks very much like the. government of the United States, with its Constitution and principles, is to be subject to the judgment of | a subordinate officer of the navy and a sub- ordiate officer of the State Department, “To establish protectorates is not the busi- ness of either of these departments. To let it pass without censure is to establish a precedent which may some day lead to war. No REASON FOR SUCH HASTE. “I can see no reason (gr such haste. There are delicate questions involved, not only with | regard to our foreign relations, but also in re- social and financial | gard to the internal, relations of those islands, to be considered by this government. It is not tobe supposed thet "we are = going = to. aan nex those islands without _ considering the condition of the people found there and the slavery of a large portion of them, nor that we will overlook the fact ’ that there aremany millions of dollarsof the mterests of the sugar plantations as against the people of this country invoived. “We can lose nothing by moving in such im- portant matters with decency, dignity and decorum.”” MR. GROUT. Mr. Grout said that it was the logical re- sult of what had already been done. The revo- tution, he said, seemed to have been under the protection of the United States, and now we must maintain or- der, as the provisional government is unable to do so. It commits us toa protecto- rate unless we repudiate our minister, which weare not apt to do. He did not think, he said, that we should go any further than to es- tablish a protectorate. If anything else is to be done, it should be left to the incoming. admin. istration. REPRESENTATIVE RAYNER, Representative Rayner of Maryland said that he was opposed to the annexation of Hawaii and did not approve of the action of our min- ister in thus establishing a temporary pro- tectorate. He said that he would juce another resolution in the House inquiring into Mr. Ste action. Mr. Livingston said that he thought the action of Mr. Stevenson was just right. That was the way, he said, to get possession of the islands, and, having possession, he did net think it likely that we would let go again while there was a big dog hanging around ready to pick up the bone as soon as we dropped it. Mr. Cockran said that if the provisional gov- ernment requested our minigter to protect lives and property he did not see how he could re- fuse to do so. Mr. Catchings said that he did not think the actic f Mr. Stevens changed the status of the case at all, and that he thought in the end an independent government would be restored in ‘Mr. Crain of Texas said he did not think the American minister and the captain of a war vessel had any right to deciare # protectorate over Hawaii; that that was a thing which Congress alone could do. Mr. Crain said he was opposed to the annexa- tion of Hawaii on account of the class of inhabitants,and he did not seo what use there was in passing Chinese exclusion acts and then taking in a whole population of a mongrel sort to be found in Hawaii. WAS A GOOD THING. Mr. O'Neil of Pennsylvania. said that he thought the declaration of a protectorate was a very good thing. He was delighted to hear it had been done. Mr. Burrays said that he thought the action of our minister was allright as reported. He did not vee how he could possibly afford to let another nation take possession of Hawaii, nor could we permit them to remain without gov- ernment.

A number of Senators were seen by a Srar ceporter this afternoon, but each of them re- fused to express any opinion whatsoever ro- ‘garding the action of Minister Stevens. This was especially true of the members of the committee on foreign relations. The Senators said that this was a question which was now under consideration in the Senate, and oe ae aa diplomatic courtesy for them to discuss question or ‘express an opinion at this time.

He had suggested to Dr. MeWill- iams that Schneider be given milk punches three times a day. | Mr. Wilson—Why did you advise them? | aluxry? The witness—No: merely as a compromise | between my position and that of Dr. MeWil- liams. My experience is that prisoners in such institutions are not overfed as a rule. Dr. Bovee stated that he based his opinion that the man was sane on his examination of | him in May and from what he (the witness) jad heard during this inquiry. Had the | witness known that Schneider only ate [food prepared by reons be- |eause he sup other food to be | poisoned it would have led him to conclude that the man was either insane or feigning insanity, but the witness would have to have before him more evidence before he would care to finaliy pass upon the man’s mental condition. A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION. Mr. Wilson then put to the witness | hypothetical question covering the tes- timony us to Schneider's parentage, birth, life and condition during his stay in the jail, and asked witness to state whether he believed, from that hypothetical As certain sane. District Attorney Cole objected on theground that the hypothetical question did not fully state the case, ‘ Mr. Wilson said that he only desired the witness to assume that the question |covered the case. He was aware that there would be difference of opinion as to the,correetness of the question, but the other side had the opportunity to cross-exam- ine and to puta question covering the case as ther naw it. he district attorney then withdrew his ob- jection, but before the question was answered | the court took a recess until 1 o'clock. AFTER RECESS. After recess Mr. Wilson's hypothetteal ques« tion was read to De. Bovee and the doctor an- swered it by saying that he would be led to believe that the man was insane, al- though if he had to decide the question on that Statement alone he would not declare him to be insane. When he examined Schneider in May there was no evidence of innutrition, and the ‘man was apparently in good physical con- ition. ‘The doctor said he did not profess to be an expert, neither did he examine him as an ex- He had not examined the prisoner since Bist of May | He observed the man while in the court room. | Witness notived that Schneider refused to look | at w witness who had known him intimately un- | tila moment before the witness left the room. In insane persons there was often twitching of the finger. It indicated either a diseased mind or an atttempt to convince people that te person was insane. In the case of the pris- oner the twitching was not always kept up. THE PRISON? R'S ACTIONS. Dr. Bovee, Schneider had eat for some time with motionless hands, but as it was mentioned with his right. To the district attorney Dr. Bovee said he | would not expect a child born as had been the | prisoner to be insane, although he would expect | the child to be of a nervous temperament. If the delusions were assumed he would consider the man to be feigning. So, too, if the man told only certain persons of the seeming do- lusions. ‘ He believed that Schneider evaded a number of the questions put to him by witness, To Mr. Mr. Wilson Dr. Bovee said patients often feigned loss of sleep. Irregular, broken sleep was one of the symptoms of insanity. MaRRY T. KNIGUT. Harry T. Knight eaid he lived at 12070 street southwest. He had known Schneider |intimately in 1888, and they were _ to- | gether for about seven months. Schneider | bad often drank whisky and beer. Every Sun- day during that pgiod they went toCabin John bridge, and on those occasions Schneider drank to exeess. Had seen him under the influence of hquorat night. When under tne influence of liquor Schneider was boisterous, At other times he was quiet. To Mr. Mattingly the witness said his inti- -¥ with Schneider terminated in December, | 1888. His hubits were about the same as those of Schneider during their intimacy. Witness drank beer and Sebneider drank — whisky mostly. He never had any difficulty with him. Wa. F. SLAVEX. Wm, F, Slaven of 921 C street southwest, said he was a compositor on the Washington Post. | He knew Schneider, first meeting him in 1888, Went to Cabin John’s bridge on Sundavs | with Schneider and Knight. Never saw the | prisoner drink more than four drinks of | whisky in an hour's time on any one occasion. Never saw him drink to excess. District Attorney—Didn’t the four drinks make him drunk? The witness—No, sir. To Mr. Mattingly the witness said that be Sometimes went out with Schneider and Knight during the mght. He never saw Schneider drank. Deputy Warden Russ was recalled for the purpose of explaining and identifying the ground plan of the jail submitted to the court this morning by the district attorner. Hesaid thata person looking outof Schneider's cell could command a view of @ portion of the rotunda of the jail. ROSS. A. FISH. . Rosswell A. Fish, the foreman of the jury which convicted Schneider, said he never observed him closely during the trial and never entertained the slightest thought of his insan- ity. He was keonly sensible of what he was about and of everything that was going on. ‘To Mr. Wilson the witness said the question of insanity was not raised on the trial, ROBERT W. DUTTON. Mr. Robert W. Dutton, a reporter of Tur Stan, said that he sat directly in front of Schneider during the trial. The defendant held frequent consultations with his counsel when- ever it seemed to be necessary. Some- times the conversation was begun by Schneider, sometimes by his counsel, ‘The man seemed to be intelligent and to comprehend everything that was going on. The wit- ness interviewed him at the jail fol- lowing the conviction, He seemed to be badly broken up. “He asked me what I thought of the verdict,” said witness. “I tried fo avoid answering’ for (a time, but he fretted me and I replied that it was justified by the evidence. Then “he urst into tearsand said that he did not have » fair show; that hix witnesses were not be- lieved. He seemed to be surprised at the result of the trinl; said that God knew that he did not intend“to kill his wife.” ‘The witness saw Schneider in court when he was sentenced. His beard was grown, his hair was rough, his coat collar turned up and he had the appearance of a man who had lost interest and hope. The witness described the scene in court when Schneider attempted to attack the district attorney. ‘On cross-examination the witness said that Schneider collapsed completely after his strug- | gle, but not so completely as when the verdict was rendered. ‘The officers held him up when he was sentenced. DEPUTY MARSHAL JoxcE. Deputy Marshal Maurice Joyce was next called to the stand and testified as to the conduct of Schneider during the trial, on the day of his sentenceand at hissubsequent appearance in court. At the time the man was sentenced witness and Bailiff Springman held him, and witness was surprised at the man's strength. Schneider did not have to be held up. Witness believed him to be a sane person. ‘To Mr. Wilson Mr. Joyce said that the day Schneider was brought up for resentence last month he refused or failed to recognize wit- ness, HORACE H. wESTcoTT.

A Control of the Eckington Road Sold To- day. MR F. KURTZ JONSON APPEARS AS THE PUR- CHASER—HE IS NOT COMMUNICATIVE ADovT IT—THE IMPRESSION GENERAL THAT 1 DEALS HERE ARE srNpIcaTE. ‘There was another move in the street railroad was rumored on the street that another road had fallen in line with the fashion set in the case of the Belt road and had changed bands. It was soou known that the road in question was the Eckington. While not formally nounced, it was stated that « controlling interest in the road bad been secured and that the purchaser was Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, the treasurer of the | road. All this was interesting information, but it only whet the appetite for more. Of course every one wanted to know bow much had been paid for the property and who Mr. Johnson represented in this Tt seemed to be taken for granted that Mr. Johuson had not secured the control of this rty #0 that he could run it bimeelf. No one questioned his ability to manage this railroad or anything else that he chose to give his attention to, but at the same time it is well known that he is a pretty busy man, taking care of the interests which he already has on his shoulders, and that | he is not exactly looking around for something to do, MR. JOHNSON NOT COMMUNICATIVE. Mr. Johnson smiled today when it was sug- gested to him by a Sram reporter that he would make an excellent railroad manager, but be did not seem to take very kindly to the idea. In fact, he did not «ay very either one way or the other except to admit that he had secured the control of the road. He also failed to say how much he had paid for it, although he was told that the public were “very much interested to now. However, it was learned from an- other source that there was paid for the controlling interest in this road the sum of £200,000, and if the information is correct then the price paid per share for the more than 3,500 shares needed to give the control was over $50, # stock hax been on the local stock exchange up t at $30 per share r. but today, in lace, the price jumped ten points and the asking the close of the board was $44 4 vance marked the sale of the Belt road, and to- day the stock of that road, for which on Saturday lnst only $33 was bid is now sold for $50 per share and the asking price is $54. So the change has had a stimulating effect on the | market price of the stock of both of these roads. WHAT IS BEMIND IT ALL? The great aud absorbing question in the case of this transaction, as it was with the Belt road sale, is who is back of the purchase and what does it mean? No one seems to take ‘any stock in the idea that either Mr. MeLean or Mr. Johnson have bought these roads as a personal investment. There are two views en- tertained by those who are in a position to know the facts as well as outsiders can know the inside of such a deal. One view is that the two properties were secured ia the interest of the large syndicate which has receutly been. buying up street railroads in Various parts of the country. It is the syndi- are said to be interested in, and which has ob- | tained control of roads in Philadelphia, Balti- | more and in other places, and which is | now «aid to be engaged in working up a scheme for the building of an electric road between | this city and Baltimore. It ie claimed that it | is the desire of this combination to secure rail- | road connections in this city which will be ab- solately under its control. THE WASHINGTON AND GEORGETOWN. On the other hand it is asserted that both | the Belt and tne Eckington roads have peen | bought in the interest of the Washington and | Georgetown railroad company and that as soon as it can be arranged the control of | the Metropolitan and of the Columbia will be secured and the entire system of roads | placed under one management. This atate- ment is denied by those interested in the | Washington and Georgetown; but nevertheless itremains a fact that the opinion is generally held in the and today is the talk in the brokers’ offices that the Washington and Georgetown is the power behind the two recent demonstrate the truth of the stazement. In support of this opinion it isstated that Mr. Hurt, the president of the cable rcad, was called in and was present when the trans: fer of the stock of the Belt rond was made the other day to Mr. MeLean. The advantages of running all the roads of the city under one management are also pointed out as additional reasous why the Washington and Georgetown It is also suggested that in view of the fact that there is a strong probability of a new and powerful railroad interest getting a foothold here that it is just as well for the cable road to adopt such measures as will prevent them from be- coming too powerful. This 1# the talk of tne streot today, aud while there is a good deal of uncertainty as to the full meaning of the re- cent purchases still it is certain thet some radical chynges will be near future in the method of street railroa: public will be the gainers AN EXPLANATION FROM PHILADELPHIA. The Philadelphia Inguirer today states: “A ride from Philadelphia to Washington by way of Baltimore in a trolley car, is one of the possibilities of the future, and if legislation is favorable and the investing public continues to have faith in the Philadelphia traction mag- nates, that future may not be far distant. “The principals of the traction syn cate, Messrs. Widener and Elkins, already have a firm footing in two of the cities mentioned; they are acquiring a foothold in the third; have projected a por- tion of the connecting line and are shaping les. islation which will enable them to consummate the plan as above outlined, PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH. “Through the Baltimore Traction Compiny, with its many lines of road in the monu- mental cit Messrs, Widener and Elkins are well intrenched in Baltimore. In ~ Washington they have just pur- chased a controlling interest for $275,000 in the Belt.Line railway, which encompasses the more important parts of the city, and it is said they are negotiating more linen. one, of, these, the tropolitan, runs east and west through the ey the other, the Columbia, runs from the Treasury Departinent, in the business cen- ter, to the northeastern part of the capital, “For some time these gentiemen ‘have been planning to build a trolley road from Baltimore to Washington, but they have carefully kept secret the exact route. Real estate on the outskirts of Baitimore has materially advanced on account of the probability of the Baltimore and | Washington trolley railway being built. Now fhat it will have a feeder at each end of the line and access to the busines centers of the two cities, it is expected that the connecting road will be built.” ee JURORS APPROACHED, Statements That Caused a Sensation in the Police Court Today.
