Craighill’s Locnt Recommenda- tions. Gen. Craighill’s annual report as chief of engineers of the army contains several items of igsportance to the District but it is an un- fortunate fact, for which, however, neither Gen. Craighill nor his predecessor in oc Js responsible, that wath few exceptions the local end of this document reads very fa- mullarly and consists of recommendations that have been repeated from year to year. The estimate for local work contains a rec- pmmendation that the Long Bridge be re- built. Gen Craighill plainly sees the dan- ger threatened by this bridge to local inter- ests, a danger that is discernible, too, by those who have no acquaintance with the fletails of engineering problems. The annual outflow of ice past the city is a regularly recurring menace to hundreds of lives and millions of dollars in property value. The railroad should long ago have removed this flangerous bridge and erected a modern Structure in its place. The delay from year to year only increases the danger as the bridge is becoming more and more out of re- pair and the obstructions in the channel that are facetiously known among the army engineers as the “Mountains of the Po- tomac" are growing in size. These obstacles to the free flow of the current are formed from the cobble stones that have been thrown into the river to protect the old piers of the bridge and the silt that has accu- mulated in the course of years. Gen. Craighill’s recommendation that the flats should be preserved for park purposes and not be given to commercial uses is im- portant in that it shows that he fully agrees with the citizens as well as with the pro- jectors of the great enterprise of reclaiming the partly submerged bottom lands. Such @ park will be a beautiful ornament to the clty and in future years will be of great value as a pleasure spot. The city cannot have too many parks if they are properly maintained and when the Eastern Branch has been dredged and its bottom lands re- claimed in the same way the river front of Washington will compare most favorably with that of any other city in the country. The chief of engineers has made another ex- cellent suggestion in the estimate for im- proving the Anacostia river which should years ago have been rescued from its pres- ent useless condition, caused by the gradual filling in of the channel. ——__ + e + _____ Tardy Election Results. ‘Tuesday of last week the people of Balti- more chose a common council and six days later the members of this local legislature assembled and perfected their organization, so that one week from their election they were ready to carry out the expressed will of the voters. This {s a vast improvement over the mechod in vogue in national affairs. More than a year ago the people of the country voiced at the polls an overwhelm- ing sentiment in favor of the republican party and elected a House of Representa- tives and virtually a Senate composed in the majority of members of that party. Not until December, thirteen months after their election, will these representatives of the people take their seats and begin to produce the actual results of that election. Mean- while the conditions that led to the general change of sentiment as thus expressed might _ have been reversed, and In such an event there would be presented the unprofitable and undesirable spectacle of a country bur- dened with an unwelcome Congress passing unpopular laws. The wave of republican- ism, it so chances this season, has not abated, so that this dilemma is happily averted, but the damger is a recurring one. ‘The system of permitting so long a period to elapse between the election and the serv- fee of the legislators is a relic of the days when the country was poorly provided with means of communication and transporta- tion, and when, therefore, the members of Congress were unable to reach Washington until long after their election. A legislative enactment to remedy this defect in the American organization would doubtless be | Welcomed by a majority of the people, while it might alarm those who fear that it would |result in radical laws by giving hasty ex- Pression to the wishes of a somewhat excit- able voting public. American legislators of today do not need an entire year in which to cool off after the heat and excitement of an election. —--+ + ____ The Value of Free Transfers. Philadelphia’s free transfer war is having @ depressing effect upon the suburban prop- erty rendered accessible by those lines of |_ Street cars that were formerly at the service | of the people without the burden of an extra charge. Rentals have fallen off, and there has begur a general movement back to town ‘on the part of those who had been attracted to the outer districts in search of cheap homes and pyre alr. This shows what an impolitic move the abolition of the transfer system has been. The traction company is , Virtually killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. It is destroying the business | that has built it up, and that forms the | bulk, doubtless, of its stea@y patronage. | The effect, too, is bad on the people. They are forced back into the unwholesome con- ; ditions of the overcrowded city, and their small holdings are depreciated in value by | the Hmitation thus placed upon the accessi- | bility of the property. The outcome of the | fight cannot well be considered doubtful if the people keep up the struggle in earnest. ——_< e+___ , Last night's demonstration at Convention Hall, on the eccasion of Dr. Whitman’s instalation as Columbian’s president, fur- mished convincing evidence, both of the enthusiasm of the students and of the Strong hold which the University has upon ‘the people of Washington.

The contention ef (the company fs that this crossing does not jfall within the range of their lability as (tt {s not really a street at the point of in- \ tersection, but a bit of land belonging to the {sorporation which It permits the community ,to use. Judge Kimball holds that this con- |€nued use of the passage way across the , tracks constitutes a thoroughfare to the ex- jtent that protection ts necessary, and he {belleves that the railroad company fs the jegitimate agent to provide such protection. |The inference from this ruling 1s that the railroad company, by its failure to confine Ats property within fences and to prevent the earite of a public custom, has involved If in quite as much responsibility for the safety of the users of the crossing as though it were in the eyes of the law an urban street. It is no argument to contend that it would require, in the words of the railroad, “an army of men” to prevent the use of the crossing by the citizens. If the railroad company has the title to this land in per- fect form it could lawfully have enclosed it by a fence and protected it by legal process yom trespass until the courts had ordered it condemned as a public street. But a single watchman will suffice to relieve the company from the responsibility which now rests upon it for all accidents at this and similar crossings. The citizen who disregards the warning of a flagman takes the risk of disas- ter in his own hands, so that the crossings may be legally protected by the employment of a very small “army” indeed. Even if the railroad officials were con- vinced that the law and the facts would not sustain a prosecution based upon the unprotected condition of these grade cross- ings, it was unwise for the railroad to per- mit the question to get into the criminal courts by evading a reasonable responsibil- ity upon quibbles and technicalities. These are in fact grade-crossings, at which the lives of men and women are in fact endan- gered, and the railroad ought promptly to supply them with the customary safeguards. The Commissioners should press upon the District committees of Congress the neces- sity of speedily passing some such measure as that which was known last session as Senate bill 1903, requiring all the steam railroad companies entering the city to equip all grade crossings with safety gates and guards, and this should be made to in- clude the populous suburbs. They should also urge the immediate consideration and enactment of legislation fixing an early date for the absolute termination of the entire grade-crossing system. It appears that in no other way will the desired result ever be obtained. ——_~+ + —____ Is Russia Plotting? Although the Armenian disturbances have grown extremely serlous the sultan has taken no practical steps to quell the outbreaks, but seems to be holding his chief military strength in reserve. He con- tinues to fling insults at the British govern- ment in the form of preferences and honors granted to officials whose actions in the Armenian riots have made them especially offensive to the English minister, and the latter's return from London to Constanti- nople is awaited with concern, for it is ex- pected that this event will precipitate the crisis. The entire chain of circumstances has been such as to give rise to a suspicion that Russia has secretly prompted the sul- tan to assume this offensive course, and the suggestion is made that the czar’s ministers are not really desirous of a solu- tion of the problem by the appointment of an international commission through the combined and Irresistible pressure of the powers to govern at first the disturbed dis- tricts and eventually, it is thought, to con- trol the Bosphorus. Russia’s access to the Mediterranean by the Black Sea 1s easier under Turkish control 6f the all-important straits than it would be under the interna- tional government of the Bosphorus. If the sultan’s conduct should result in war Russia would be much in evidence in the fighting, and would hope at the end of the struggle to seize upon the tempting prize of Constantinople, and thus gratify an arcient ambition, and gain the vantage point which is essential to future suprem- acy as a naval power. Russia wants no one to displace Turkey at the Bosphorus but herself. —. .--+ «+ ____ Mr. Simon Wolf has, in his recently pub- Hshed volume, “The American Jew as Pa- triot, Soldier and Citizen,” effectually dis- proved the charge made against the people of his religion and race that they were not to be found among the country’s defenders during the civil war. This charge was un- Jest and, in the light of Mr. Wolt'’s thorough researches, appears to have been founded only upon an unthinking prejudice. Fortun- ately Mr. Wolf was in a position to demons- trate beyond cavil the fact that the Hebrews have always been prominent in patriotically upkolding the best interests of the nation, and the volume that he presents is a notable addition to the historical literature of the day. It is especially interesting to Wash- ingtonlans not only because Mr. Wolf is an honored resident of the capital but from cer- tain pleasing references to some of the lead- ing citizens of the capital, who are men- tioned for their participation in the great struggle. oo -—___ The Sultan of Turkey is unfortunate in his surroundings of antiquated tradition.

A Good Time to Tackle the Grade Crossings Problem. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. Thomas B, Reed cannot refuse the speakership of the House of Representa- tives, but the question has been, “What will he do with it when he gets it?” There are so many new and ambitious republi- can members that there will be great dan- ger of tearing up national questions, such as tariff, finance and foreign relations, which would be disastrous to the presiden- mbition which Mr. Reed so warmly ains. How to have a session of Con- without legislation, is the problem which confronts this distinguished tyrant. Mr. Reed ought to be thankful to the Washingion Star for its intelligent war on railroad crossings at grade in the capital city. It announces that the attention of both houses of Congress will be called to the matter early, and argues with empha- sis for vigorous legislation. There is noth- ing else that creates so much and stuwi protracted excitement among the lawmak- ers as a bill pertaining to the rights or privileges of railroad companies, and there is no other city so affluent in trouble of this sort as Washington. If The Star can keep the Congress of the United States acting ell winter as a town council, it will have done Mr. Reed a service that will en- title every member of its staff to a diplo- matio or consular post when the man from Maine shall have become President, THE WEEK. Gen. Miles, commanding the army, in his annual report pointed out the need of im- proved coast defenses. The United States Supreme Court denied the motion to ad- vance the case of Broker Elverton R.

Mi:s Pauline Payne Whitney, daughter of ex-Secretary Whit- ney, and Mr. Almeric Paget were married in New York; the President and Secre- taries Limont and Herbert attended. Judge Lacombe, ia New York, ccnfirmed the sale of the Erie railway, which is in line with the Morgan syndicate’s plan of reorganiza- ticn. A severe northeasterly stcrm did con- siderable damage along the coast. In a col- lision between the American bark William Hales and the steamer Niagara during a fog, the bark was sunk and five of her crew perished. The senate investigating committee of Pennsylvania, appointed to in- quire into alleged crookedness in the mu- ricipal government of Philadelphia, began taking testimony. The international con- ference of the Young Women’s Christian Association was held in Brooklyn. The death of State Senator Pinkney J. Ben- rett of Carroll county, Md., makes pos- sible a tie in the state senate. Foreign. The foreign ministers in Constantinople are of the opinion that nothing short of a naval demonstration will bring the sultan to a realization of the actual condition of affairs. A mob attacked the English mis- sion, near Jerusalem, and killed several servants of the missionarles. Forty-eight British marines were drowned by the sink- ing of a launch belonging to the British cruiser Edgar off Nagasakl. The Czarina of Russia gave birth to a daughter. In Paris a wine merchant, while insane, killed his wife and mother and three other peo- ple. The Spanish minister of war denied that General Campos was to be retired from the command of the Spanish forces in Cuba. At Breslau Liebknecht, the socialist leader, was sentenced to four months’ im- prisonment for lese majeste. Nubar Pasha, the Egyptian prime minister, has resigned on account of il} health. Storms and floods have done great damage in England, Scotland and Ireland. In the District. Several representative bodies were in ses- sion during the past week, the number in- cluding the general assembly Knights of Labor, which has not yet adjourned; the National Brotherhood of Electrical Work- ers, the Southern Surgical and Gynecologi- cal Association; the Sunday School Union of the District; the District Epworth League, and delegates from Lutheran churches in this city and Baltimore. S.W.Woodward was elected president of the board of trade. It was announced by the offi and Sckington street railroads that a test would be'made of compressed air as a mo- tive power, an¢@ also that a change would be made to the former system of transfers in place of operating the Belt line as a com- plete road. Cars operated by underground electric current will be run on the section of the F street line of the Metropolitan road from 9th and F streets eastward as soon as the new system is put in. The courts have been called on to decide the dispute between the Capital Traction and Metropol- itan companies in regard to the use of tracks on U street between 7th and 9th streets. George Birgfield was killed by a steam train near Linden station, Md. Ac- cording to an opinion of the attorney for the Commissioners the rights of the tele- graph company to the occupancy of streets is subject to the approval of the Commis- sioners. A sentence of imprisonment in the penitentiary has been imposed on Captain Howgate, the Court of Appeals having con- firmed the decision of the court below. As the result of an investigation made by in- ternal revenue officials suits have been in- stituted for the le of oleomargarine in violation of the laws regulating such sales. An order has been Issued by the market com- pany stating that no fees of any kind would be insisted upon from the farmers occupy- ing places on that portion of B street be- tween 7th and 9th streets; this action follows the decision of the Commissioners to deter- mine the legal right of the company to charge a fee for the use of what the Com- missioners believe is a public street. A great audience witnessed the installation exercises of Rev. Dr. Whitman as president of Colum- bian University at Convention Hall. —_>2-2__ SHOOTING STARS.

Reed has been in Wall street un and off the last two weeks, seeking the views of leading bankers and ancial men upon the currency question, especially upon the advisability of retiring the greenbacks. One of the bank presidents with whom Mr. Reed has been in consultation said yester- day: “Mr. Reed has been surprised at the general opposition of banking interests in the street to wiping out the greenbacks. His views, I understand, have been shaped accordingly, and since,’as Speaker of the next House, ho will have a commanding influence with the committees, there is little doubt that that Influence will be exerted to prevent legislation hostile to greenbacks.” W.
