The “Siek Man's” New Ally. The peace of Europe is again disturbed by the possibility of an alllance between Russia and Turkey, the hereditary enemies, and the natural resentment of Great Britain over such en arrangement. The statement that a treaty has been signed by the Czar and the Sultan has not been confirmed, and it may prove to be inaccurate, but the thrill of excitement fol- lowing its announcement indicates that the government at London is apprehensive that such a development may be expected at any time as a result of the recent efforts to check the Armenian massacres. It has long been suspected that the Sultan's con- linued refusals to take any practical and effective steps looking to an abatement of the Armenian horrors were inspired by Russia. To be sure Russia has hitherto been repeatedly checked in her efforts to erush the Sultan, to divide his dominions among the adjacent powers, to keep the lion's share herself and to obtain control of the easte-n water gate of Europe. In the pest these endeavors have aroused the act Jealousy of the rest of Europe, and and and France joined the in a war in which Russia was back. Again in 1878 the powe intervened to prevent Russia from di: membering conquered Turkey. But since then a change has come over the political aspect of Europe. The Czar's dominions and power grown. Hie has formed alliances that are antagonistic to British ve 1854 Sultan forced have influence. ce is now his partner in all continental matters, and Germany, while not enthusiastic in his behalf, is ugly to- ward England. A coalition such as that which terminated the Crimean war in favor of the Turk 1s now impossible. It is conceded, in short, that Russia's star is in the ascendant, and the Czar is today more dreaded by the Sultan than any other European monarch, or any possible combi nation of powers. It is easy to under- staml why Abdul Hamid should be dis- posed to turn in this hour of his emergency to the nation that has e' sought to wipe ‘Turkey from the map of Europe. On the he sees constant strife, secret ndings, unavowed and unendorsed angemen‘s, leading to the almost cer- tain death of Turkey's autonomy. On the other hand is comparative peace, bought by the promise to open the Dardanelles to h Russia and to close the straits to other powers in ease of war, a surrender of the chief jewel in his diadem, but the pur- chase of the strongest ally Eurone can afford. and sees in the compact a threat against her occupation of Egypt. France is jealous and sulky over her cx- pulsion from the Nile and her loss of the Suez canal. She awaits the day of reckon- ing when Russia shall invite her into an anti-British eampe ick man.” When en “for the sake of ihe will it come? soo ith Russia, the Sultan to well to apply to the relations of the bear and the turkey the old fables of the fox and the goose. —___—_see- The Eng! ning to think that associating sh sporting people are begin- Lord Dunraven ought —___ + «+ -- Lord Salisbury is quoted as saying that he only resaz nrgk line as a rough-and-re other wor The Grade Crossings Bill. Senator McMillan’s bill mtroduced yester- p for consideration the cond!- the tracks of the Balti- 2 and Potomac railroad and the sug- ed remedies for the evils of its surface upation of the strets. The ideal solu- tion of the problem frem Washington's point of view would be to bring this rail- and all others which cross the Poto- mac over that river on the upper story of a new double-deckes lich bridge, ertin viaduct of masonry the r flats up aryland rip of the Mall west of thin, like those of Lon- i ornamenting Penn- h a solution would © of every evil of which e of cf but fo is approx y perf nent the neare: pproa be attained. day pens oc upon a Be ure ‘The grade-c1 Long bridge must go. And de- short of perfection which accom- will be acceptable to The Star will hereafter discuss in detail nd depressed track propositions dirg bill, when a more thorough fon of the plars has been made. rious obstacle to an agreement corporation and municipality con- the proposed improvements is the “2 of opinion as to how the cost of work is to be borne. Washington 1s xious for the removal of the grade- and its opposition to the payment large sum of money in connection therewith is due not alone to the belief that just business principles exempt it, but to the conviction that there could be no more serious impediment to the uecess of the proposed bill in the present Congress, than the fact that it involved a large appropriation from the District revenues, vpon which the demands already so largely exceed the supply. Washington is, of course, ready to con- cede that a large part of the expense of ap- proaches to bridges across sunken tracks would properly fall upon her; also some share of the expense of substituting a mod- erm structure for Long Bridge. But there are offsets to the railroad’s bill against the public. In balancing the accounts it is to be re- membered that the railroad secures from the former in connection with this legisla- tion: (1) Release of claim for rental for the admittedly illegal use and occupation of streets and reservations for many years. An act of a recent Congress legalized the oceupation and use of six small reserva- tions which had for years been used with- out legal authority. The road has occupied, and still occupies, the large reservation the intersection of Maryland and Virginia avenues, which Mr. A. G. Riddle, when at- torney for the District, reported to be held only by virtue of “squatter sovereignty.” It Las paid nothing for its long illegal use of the streets and reservations as storage depots and shifting yards. (2) An increase of the number of its legal tracks and the space occupied by them on public property between Virginia avenue and the 6th street station; also along the whole route on both Maryland and Virginia avenues and across the reclaimed flats. This means the dona- tion of a valuable strip of public property, including a section 225 feet wide across the Mali, a large addition to the railroad’s land grant, representing a heavy expenditure if payment were exacted at the market Price. The bill gives to the railroad a mag- nificent terminal yard, 225 feet wide, capable vf accommodating fifteen or twenty tracks, ‘The most between thence | from B street south to B street north, in exchange for its present right to maintain on 6th street only two tracks “ to be put as near together in the middle of the street as possible” and showing “flat rails like those used by street railways so as to fa- cilitate wagon and carriage travel over the same.” It substitutes modern approaches for the antiquated and inadequate provision of existing law. @) Most important of ali, the removal of the grounds of public hostil- ity founded on the present condition of Long Bridge, and the’ no-thoroughfare belt of surface tracks along Maryland and Vir- ginia avenues and 6th street, will, in ef- fect, cause the temporary grant of right of way from Virginia avenue to the free sta- tion site on the Mall to become permanent. It will then be impossible to loosen the railroad’s grip upon the park. The value of this benefit to the railroad is almost incalculable. Some time ago Senator In- galls estimated the value of the mall privi- leges, for which the railroad would have to. pay elsewhere, as at least half a million dellars. They are worth more now. This estimate indicates only the pecuniary value of the acquisition, and allows nothing for the injury and practical destruction of the continuous pirk from the Capitol to the White House, which our forefathers plan- ned and which is necessary as an in-the- city breathing place for those who have neither the means nor the time for a suburban outing. If the city’s magnifi- cent original plan is to be permanently altered and disfigured for the railroad’s benefit let the latter pay handsomely for this desecration, as well as for its land grants. If the esthetic, sentimental affd sanitary considerations which plead for the uninterrupted mall of L’Enfant’s plan are to be buried beyond hope of resurrec- tion, and the issue is reduced to the busl- ness-like question of dollars and cents, let the dollars and cents of compensation also be exacted on strictly business principles. If a part of the city’s birthright ts to be disposed of for a mess of pottage, let those who are responsible for the transfer at least see to it that the municipal stomach enjoys every particle of pottage justly due. The railroad’s direct gain, when the tem- porary loan of its mall privileges becomes a permanent gift, will be so vast that, without the aid of the other items en merated, it will be sufficient to outweigh any claim against the District on account of the abolition of grade-crossings. This is a brief statement of the District's side of the case and it should be fairly con- sidered by the railroad and Congress in reaching un agreement as to a division of expense betweer corporation and munici- pality. Washington, however, wants grade crossings and Long Bridge abolished, and it is willing to pay considerably more than it justly should in order to be rid of its death traps and its bridge menace to life and property. To get the bill through Con- &ress the proposed appropriation of public money must not be large, and on this ac- count also it is hoped that the railroad will be reasonable and liberal. ———_~+= The results of well-directed energy and enterprise are shown in a most striking manner in the growth of the Philadelphia Inquirer since it came into the hands of its present proprietorship.
