A convenient freight station could be lo- cated on squares 300 and 290, owned, except one lot, by the Southern Railway Com- pany; in such case, as probable in each of the other plans, there would be a call to close E street between 12th and 13th. The properties on the east side of Wat2r street would be valuable for business uses requiring railroad switches, being located favorably for such establishments, most of the squares sloping conveniently for elevated tracks on cne front and wagon inclines en the other. Comparison of Grade. ‘As to grades of main tracks of the dif- ferent plans the grades of plan 5, as shown by the follewing table, are the easiest: DISEASE OF THE NERVES.

The distance from the tunnel to the Washington channel bridge via the passenger station, plan 5, is 12,700 feet; the same along the present surface tracks and by plan i, is 14,310 fect, 520 feet in favor of the route of plan 5. ‘The dis- tances, leaving out the depot branch, as for through freights, are, respectively, 10,- 655 and 11,160 feet, or about 500 feet in fa- vor of plan 5, as compared with either of the other pians. J As to the disturbance of street improve- ments under plan it may be noted that K street is not paved, and the properties along it are but little improved. The im- provements on Water street are not valu- able; and it would seem that steam railroad facilities there would benefit the river ship- ping interests. Two tracings herewith, marked plates 6 and 7, show what properties abutting on these streets are improved, and what are vacant. As K street is not wide, the via- duct along it should be of metai and not of masonry. It would be prefefable that the viaduct in 8th street and Water street should also be of metal. There is always a call for railroad spurs, and it is better to have such spurs on streets like K and Water than on Virginia avenue. It may be noted that under plan 1 (the railroad company’s plan), spurs from the main tracks on Virginia avenue to pri- vate properties, and the same on the north + side of the avenue, under plans 2, 3 and 4, would further damage the avenue as a thcroughfare, since the tracks of those plans are neither fully depressed nor fully elevated. = in short, plan 5 seems to fit the ground and to be adapted to the situation.

The im- Frovements at the passenger station are ELEVATED RY. Lo ml A with a mask of earth, as properly intended, by the Senate bill if the depor site ts to be’ enlarged, would destroy a large part of the existing improvements of the park from the wall to 7th street. Tne expeuse of pro- viding a new fish commission building is not included in the cost to the District of plan 1. The area of the depot site with! the park proposed by that plan is 558,¢ square feet, or nearly three times the area of the tract whose occupation is now au- thorized. It is believed that the use of the in- creased area at the mall should rot be granted, and that no part of the reserva- tion should be surrendered to the per- tranent use of ruthless commerce. A Barrier Across the Park. The depot, train shed, rapidly moving trains and turmoil make a barrier across the park, destroy its peace and quiet, and have aided a departure from the beautiful design shown upon the L’Enfant map and copied upon the adopted plan of the city, of “‘a grand avenue, 400 feet in breadth and about a mile long,” connecting “the Congress garden with the President's park.” The dome of the Capitol would be on the center of the avenue and the Wash- ington monument within its space at the western end. There should be at least a partial return to this design, which would be more easily practicable if the railroad depot with its immense shed and numerous long trains were removed from the mall. The Senate bill would recognize a sixty- six-feet right of way of the railroad com- pany along Virginia and Maryland ave- nues. It is believed that the right of way of sixty-six feet, named in the act au- thorizing the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road Company to enter the District of Columbia, applies outside of the city and over private property. The Maryland charter, which by said act is made appti- cable to the District, permits the com- pany to condemn a right of way sixty-six feet wide; but according to an opinion of the attorney for the District this applies to such right of way as the company may be required to condemn for its use out- side of public tighways, and not to the — Atong K.8™ ESS 3a an> WATER STS, IL Day i Sls iia, zi 7 Ze assessed at $100,000; the District now pays $12,500 annual rent for quarters for the National Guard. = The area of public space within the limits of the station of plan 5 is 151,525 square feet, or 22,525 square feet more than the ares of the public space now occupied at the mall for depot purposes, or more than the excess of area to be purchased for the station grounds over the area of railroad properties on Virginia avenue released from railroad use. The. area of public space whose use would be granted to the railroad company by plan 5 is 129,026 square feet more than the area of such space which it now uses. ‘ Plan 5 Most Satisfactory. The Commissioners find that plan 5 would do away with the grade crossings of South Washington in the most satisfactory man- ner of all the plays.discussed, above; that it would be the most economical to the Dis- trict; Is believed to be not unduly expensive to the railroad companies, and would fur- nish the most convenient and amplest rail- Toad facilities for the roads now entering South Washington, with capacity to accom- inodate additional roads. Two other plans were considered—one a modification of plan 5, by which the desot branch was laid up 2 street, or near it, to a station on south B street, and the other a union station for the Baltimore and Ohio and the raflroads now in South Washington. The depot location on south B sireet was not considered acceptable, and the ground not as convenient in elevation as at C and Sth streets; it was concluded that the prac- ticability of a union station was now doubt- ful, and, in fact, that one station north and another south of the mall were prefer- able, under existing circumstances, to a single station; also, that a third passen- ger station might be established at about 27th and K streets, if needed in the future, for railroads entering Georgetown from the west. Avenues and Mall Relieved. Two things about plan 5, not plainly men- tioned heretofore, appear to commend themselves for this plan; one is the entire removal of stzam railroad tracks from Vir- ginia and Maryland avenues, permitting them, as the plan of the city contemplated, to be for South Washington what Massa- chusetts and New York avenues are to North Washington; and the other is the removal of the tracks and depot from the mall. Such occupation of the mall was 9u- thorized before this grandly conceived park was Improved, before streets were paved and while the few street car lines in oper- ation were the slow-going one-horse cars, making it desirable, as well as unobjeciion- able, at that time that the depot should be or B street. The authority (act May 21, 1872,) for the occupation describes the site as “the open grounds between th Street and B street north, and the canal,”’. requires that the rails of the two tracks from Virginia avenue to the Genot site “shall be constructed as flat rails, like those used by street railways, so as 10 fa- cilitate wagon and carriage. travel over the same, and the tracks and the space Le- tween the same shall be kept paved with some suitable material by said company, and it shall also pave, with proper ma- terial, at least two feet outside of said tracks,” and ‘provides “that the United States, by act of Congress, shall nave the right lo repeal or modify the provisions of this act.” Congressional Orders Ignored. The paving was not done or {s not main- tained; nelther are flat street car rails of the time of 1872 used. It would be burden- some upon the railroad company to com- ply with the laws quoted. Sixth street from Virginia avenue to the depot cannot now be kept-fully open for wagon traffic on account increased rail- road business, without interfering with the use of the steam tracks. {| Congress specifically limited the rallroad use of the park to a space fronting 150 feet on B street north and ruhning south 802 feet, and provided in the-'uct of January 19, 1891, granting authorfty for certain turnouts and sidings along-the main line of the Baltimore and .¢ Railroad Company, “that nothing in'this act and no expenditure that may be mgde by said rail- }- road company hereunder spall be held or construed .to give said company any right, legal or equitable, not now’ possessed to re- tain the passenger station of said company on 6th street.” The iaw limited, it is believed, notwith- standing the present practice, the use of steam locomotives on that! part of the de- pot branch in Maryland avenue to a period of twenty years from 1866, ‘Temporary Occupation Intended. It seems that Congress intended, or ex- pected, that the railroad occupation of the mall would be temporary, Anyway, the railroad business has out- grown its facilities at the B street sta- tion, so that the ratiroad’ company must soon move elsewhere or have granted to it the use of a aréa of public apace. ‘The Senate bill and the railroad company’ plan name an enlargement of the depot site use of the streets of a city, as an incident of {ts right to run to or from such city. The Maryland charter does not give this company the right to use the streets of the city of Baltimore, except upon such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the city. Original Limitations. In a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the District of Columbia Commissioners ys. the Balt!- more and Potomac Railroad Company, April 20, 1885, delivered by Mr. Justice Miller, it was stated that “the act of in- corporation of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company by the state of Mary- land confers no power upon it to use the streets of a city, as an incident of its righ: to run to or from such city. Plar 5 would give the company a right to lay four tracks through the city and to its depot. It may be remarked that the act of Con- gress authorizing the Baltimore and Po- tomac Railroad Company to enter the Dis- trict, “provided that the level of said road within said city shall conform to the pres- ent graduation of the streets, unless Con- gress shall authorize a different lev and that the elevation cf the railroad tracks would relieve the railroad company from the requirements of the police regulations as to limited speed of trains; full stop- page of trains before crossing rapid-transit street car tracks; operaticn of safety gates at crossings; non-oceupation of crossings by cars; non-parking of cars on streets and similar laws, necessary for safety of life and limb and property and for public convenience in cases of steam railroads at street grades. Commissioners’ Recommendations. In conclusion the Commissioners recom- mend the adoption of the method of doing away with grade crossings substantiaily as shown by plan 5, herein, and that Sen- ate bill 1702 be amended accordingly; but that if your committee does not concur, then that of plan 4, herein, be adopted, as in that case the best one believed to be obtainable, although it does not equal plan 5 in convenience to travel, street traffic and local business and suitableness to this na- tional capital. As before suggested, any bill based upon plan 5 should provide for the purchase by the District of the B street depot building and train shed, and of the ground required for driveways and hackstard at the sides of the new depot site, and for widening the alley east of its train shed; and, further, that the District should be responsible for damages to private property on accornt of changes of grades of streets; that the railread company have the right of con- demraticn of private properties for sites for passenger station, storage yard, and fre‘ght station within: the limits shown upon plate 5; that in addition to streets hereinbefore named to be closed, E street between 12th and 13th streets ‘be closed if desired for railroad use; that the via- duct along K, 8th and Water streets be of metal; that the railroad company re- move its tracks and appurterances from the mall, 6th street, Virginia and Mary- Jand avenués, and Canal street (except for the south 60 feet east of G street); that the locations and plans of constructions in the streets be subject to approval by the Commissioners; that the plan of the ap- proach to the Long bridge be subject to the epproval of the Secretary of War, and that the railroad company pay taxes upon the public space vacated or closed for its use. The District's Share of Expense. To summarize, the expense to the Dis- trict for execution of plan 5, hereinbefore suggested, would comprise $257,999 for changes of street grades and for drive- ways and hackstand at the passenger sta- tion; the purchase of the B street depot buildings, assessed at $100,000; the value represented by the grant of 129,026 square feet more of public space than now used by the railroad; the cost of restoring the surfaces of streets occupied by tracks af- ter their removal, and an indefinite amount of damages to private property on account of changes of strect grades. The Commissioners are impressed with the urgent desirability of abolishing the grade cressings and establishing perma- nent steam railroad routes .and terminals in a complete and satisfactory way, suit- able to the national capital without re- gard to the ordinary cost of such works, and of removing the railroad tracks from crates avenue and principal reserva- iors. They recognize, however, that Washing- ton is not a commercial city, and may not therefore furnish remunerative railroad busiress warranting the large expenditure for rew terminals herein contemplated. For these reasons, it may be equitable for the District to bear a larger part of the expense of executing plan 5 than previous- ly indicated, the ‘amount of the additional expense to the District to be determined after the approval of the railroad com- pany’s plan of constructions in the streets. This report is signed by all of the Com- missiorers. - is —— Nominations Confirmed. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the following nominations: S. Penry of California, to be register of the land office at Sacramento; G. B.-Cosby of California, to be ft hy la, art ipssnee public moneys THE ARBITRATION TREATY! THEY RIDICULE IT. Mr. Morgan Wants to Abrogate the Olayton- Bulwer Treaty. Criticism of the Full Reports of the Executive Session Pub- ished. The most important developments con- cerning the consideration of the arbitration treaty by the Senate in executive session yesterday were the offering of an amend- ment by Senator Morgan of Alabama pro- viding for. the abrogation ‘of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty and the speech by the same senater in favor of this proposition. Senator Morgan declared that ihe condi- tions which calied forth the Clayton Bul- wer treaty had long passed away. It was no longer binding on either nation, nor was it of any use or value to this nation, though it might be of great importance to Great Britain in case the Nicaragua canal was constructed. With the treaty now un- der consideration, he said that no doubt the question of the abrogation of the Clay- ton-Bulwer treaty in effect would have to be submitted to arbitration. While the old treaty was obsolete and disregarded, yet it was still used as a menace and bugaboo to the United States whenever the construc- tion of the Nicaragua canal was advozated. Great Britain, declared Senator Morgan, had violated the treaty and abrogated it by occupying a poriion of the territory of Honduras. Great Britain would use the treaty of arbitration to her advantage, and the Clayton-Bulwer treaty would be ‘sed in the same way unless it was declared io be void. There was no better occasion fcr abrogating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty than by so providing in this arbitration treaty, said Mr. Morgan. Mr. Bacon's Amendment. Another important amendment was of- fered by Senator Bacon of Georgia. It pro- vides for a modification of article 8, so as to relieve the southern states from any obligations that might arise under the bonds issued in the reconstruction days. The amendment was the result of a con- ference among the southern senators, who concluded that the article might render it possible to make these bonds when held by subjects of Great Britain the object of ar- titration. Mr. Bacon sought an opportuni- ty during the day to address the Senate on the amendment, but was prevented by the fact that Senator Morgan held the floor ail day. When Senator Morgan renewed his re- marks he stated that the treaty before the Senate should be amended so as to except in definite terms the Nicaragua canal and everything relating to that enterprise. He dwelt at length upon this phase of the treaty, and read from a number of reports bearing on the subject, showing the inter- est of the United States in that part of the contirent, which the Senator declared was more vital than any treaty that could be made with Great Britain. Senator Morgan at 5:30 concluded his speech, but said he would discuss other phases of the treaty before a vote was reached. A number of amendments have been pre- pared, which wil be offered in the course of the debate. Among them Is one direct- ing that all subjects of arbitration must first be submitted to the President and the Serate before being sent to the tribunal provided for in the treaty. Another ex- cepts from matters subject to the treaty the Alaskan boundary dispute, also any controversy as to the boundary line in the Straits of Fuca, which separate Vancouver Island from Washington state. The friends of the treaty did not enter the debate yesterday. During the day Senator Teller. stated that he wanted it understood that the silver mcn were not opposing the treaty as silver men, and that no opposition was being made to it because it affected the silver interes‘s. here were other and sufficient grounds upon which to base their objections. The suggestion raised by Senator Daniel in the committee on forcign relations as to whether the difference between the price of silver and gold (in case this country goes to a silver basis) should be made the Subject of arbitration did not receive much consideration, nor did it attract any par- ticular nott: The proceedings connected with the con- sideration of the treaty on its mesits were far less exciting and varied than cn the day before, and it was impossible to hold the senators in their seats while it pro- ceeded. Somebody Must Have Leaked. The early part of the session, howe was by no means so devoid of interes The first two hours were given to a dis- cussion of the full reports of the secret session of the previous day that were printed in the papers. Senator Vest sprang this subject+as soon as the confirmations were disposed of. The time was devoted to a senatorial discussion of the methods of the modern news seeker, which was mcre in the nature of fault-finding than of criticism of their accuracy. The reports were generally compiimented for their ac- curacy, and the majority of the remarks were devoted to an effort to explain their appearance. Senator Vest asserted that no one but a trained newspaper man could give the pro- ceedings in such detail as sent out by the Associated Press and contended that an expert must be employed somewhere in the chamber. He complained quite bitterly of the appearance of such reports as deroga- tory to the dignity of the Senate. He was followed by Senators Hale and Hoar in the same strain. Senator Gallinger said that if such full reports were to be given out it wouid be better to open the doors and in- vite the world to be present. Senator Teller suggested the wisdom, in the absence of open sessions, of allowing a few selected reporters to be present, saying that his ex- perience with the profession was such as to convince him that they could be depend- ed upon to deal fairly and honorably with the Senate. Senator Hill did not fail to’ take advantage of the opportunity to “point the moral” as being that his motion for open doors should have been adopted. He said that it was claimed that the treaty was an unprecedented accomplishment in dipiomacy. Even if this was true, he said, it was also true that the Senate had taken an almost unprecedented step in making the treaty itself public. Why not extend the policy to the extent of having open dis- cussion of it? He, however, refrained from renewing his motion to this effect. When every one had talked on this. point who manifested a disposition to do so Sena- tor Morgan was permitted to proceed with his speech on the treaty as such. It is probable that the treaty will not be taken up again before Friday, and pos- sibly its consideration will not be resumed this week. ——___-e+______ Vocalism That Pays. From the New York Herald.
