It the Philadelphia syndicate becomes the purchaser of the Metropolitan and the Colam- bia street railroads, as some seem to think is | likely, their total investments in this class of property within a comparatively short time represents a pretty large sum of money. As is known they already own and are operating the Belt and the Eckington roads. For a conirol- they paid nearly | $500,000. If they pay the asking price for the ther two roads their total investments reach the large sum of near! | @2,000,000. As the stock was mainly held ii this city the sales sets loose = large p- | amount of capital which will no doubt agai | seek local investment. It is stated that who are at the head of this syndicate have by no means exhausted their capital and that they will at once begin the construction of an electric road to Baltimore. The surveys of the entire route have not yet been completed, but next week it is expected that the surveyiny partios will be sent out over the entire propose line and that the work will be pushed and the | construction of the road begun at as early a/ dato as possible, The building of this road, if the plans now discussed are carried out, will have = most impor- tant and widespread influence on all the material interests of the city.

ENLARGING A BANK BUILDING. The building 1417 G street, adjoining the West End Bank, is to be utilized so as to add to the facilities of the banking room. Doorways will be out through the party wall and the addi- tional space will be used for the office of the president of the bank, Mr. Stevens, and for other purposes in connection with the business of the bank. ‘MR, WANAMAKER’S GOOD FORTUNE. In the sale of his house Mr. Wanamaker made what may be regarded as a good turn, not because he got an extravagant price, but for the reason that he was able to dispose of had no further use, and at’a figure which was more property for which, presumably, than he paid for the house four years ago. this respect he fell heir to the good fortune en- Joyed by Mr. Whitney, from whom he bought the house.

Bub the | | publicity given to property that is offered at Public sale is condidered so desirable that it is now the case that a good proportion of the aue- tion sales is of property which the owners choose to dispose of in this way. It is not necessary to sell property that is offered from the auction , a6 the right of withdrawal is always re- served. Quite a good deal of property has been offered recently at auction, ad the prices ob- tained have been satisfactory to the owners.

After that date men who are now members of the guard and physically able to practice will not be permitted to fire another shot at the indoor range during the season of 1593, A great deal of the voluntary work which has been mapped out for the forthcoming week or two is the result of a desire on the part of nearly all the captains to have more than a | sufficient number of men qualified to enter the team competitions that are to mark the close of the season's gallery work. THE “CRACKS” WILL SHOOT FOR RECORD ONLY. Reference to the rifle competitions for May brings up the fact that Maj.

The request has been granted. Some of the engineers are inclined | to the belief that company A should not be debarred, and cite as a reason the results of « gallery match between fifteen men of that company and fifteen members of company B, sixth battalion, in which the latter team came out ahead. After fully considering the matter— and this was done before the orders for the competitions were issued—it was decided tokeep that no one could become of them they should be encouraged.

The naval review will be followed by a series of movements in the United States anval forces of Unusual interest to the friends of the navy. ‘These movements include officers as well as ships and the subject is engrossing considerable attention in naval circles just at present. There | will be fourteen United States vorsels in the review and Secretary Herbert is sathority for the statement that soon after its concinsion all | butseven of them will be immodiately dis- Patched to foreign stations. Some will go to Europe, some to China, some to the South Atlantic and some to the Pacific station. There are now no United States verssls on the + European station and the antique Yantio is the sole representative of this country on the South Atlantic station.

The Pacific station, outside of San Prancisco and Hewaii, is deserted #0 far os the navy te concerned. The extent and present import- ance of this station has resulted in a practical determination to divide itinto two divisions, one including the waters above and the other the waters below the Isthmus of Panama, The demand for vessels in Bering ses and Hawaii has exbausted the available supply on that sta- tion, and there is pressing for vessels in the South Pacific countrice. The presence of | Warships in the vicinity of Peru and Chile is considered advisable, and the only vessels rw in demonstration. The majority of the vessels now in the re- view fleet are therefore destined for immediate service in foreign waters, and the problem now confronting Secretary Herbert and his assist- ante at the department is as to the manner of distributing them in the best intercets of the service, I: is expected that the result of their deliberations will be ‘made known soon after the review. The naval gossips are all at ea on the subject at prosent and oan do no more thay conjecture as to which of the fleet will even be Fetained on the North Aantic or bome station. The ouly thing sure on this point is that the Dolphin, Bancroft, Vesuvius, Miantonomah The Dolphin | and Cusbing will not go abroad. is the Prouifent is inferred that they are not both to be in- cluded in Secretary Herbert's list of seven vee sels selected for service in the North Atlantic |etation, Purthermore, as they will bardiy be | (oid up at the samme time, it is more than Mikey that tl 'y will alternate as Sagship of the home . Dol Cushing, which will necessarily be retained ou the home station, together with the K now in Haytion waters, and the Chicago and Atianta, makes a fleet of seven vessels, so that if Secretary Herbert adheres to his policy of bis keeping no more than that number of vessels in bome waters all the otber veswola of the fleet now at Hampton Roads will soon be started on # long cruise. Jt is considered Probable that oue other vowel will be kept at ome, most probably either the Yorktown, chances in Concord or Beuningion, with the | the order named.

According to this reasoning the Philedel- phia, Newark, San Francisco, Baltimore and | Charleston are destined for foreign service | beyond all doubt, with every indication that | the Concord and Benuington will be selected for similar service, but to which stations each | will be assigned is one of those things “that no earned by the one who, unfortunately, will be | fellow can find out.” The best judgnent of those competent to guess on this sutjoct 1s has Admiral Gherardi will have command of the North Atlantic station with the Chicago as lue lagship; that Admiral Bevlam wil! command jon with the Newark as bis flagsbip; that Admiral Walker will be given command of the European station with the Philsdelpbia as his flagship. The neisco and Charleston will be attached to tho South Pacifie station, the Bonnington pr v to the South Atlantic and the Concord to the European station, although it ie possible that cither of these two gun buate or the Yorktown will be ordered to China. The Baltimore ix also booked for that ‘station as the flagship of Admiral Irwin. The command of the South Pacific station t& in doubt. Commodore Ramsay, who is said to be booked for that caty, will probably be allowed ‘to serve out his term as chief of the bureau of pavigation, ending in December next.
