LEED IPT O PEDO DPSS OT REAL ESTATE GOSSIP An Interesting Phase of the Street Railroad Situation. CITY AND SUBURBAN LINES What is Thought of the Future of Realty Investments. SOME IMPROVEMENTS From the standpoint of the general public there seems to be ng question of the im- portance of some sort of an arrangement being made between city and suburban railroads by which people can go from the urban center to all points within the Dis- trict b> the payment of one fare, and, if possible, with no change of cars. Such a system, with the exception that passengers re tr sferred at intersecting points to the suburban line, is now in operation on the Chevy Ch line of the Capital Traction road, the only surburban line owned and operated by city company, except the Eckington. In the petition recen filed in the Dis- trict Court by the Brightwood Railroad Company, asking the assistance of the court to fix trackage arrangements between that company and the Metropolitan com- pany, it is stated to be the purpose of the Brightwood company to secure a through service for its own patrons. } A Continuous Service. As is well known, the termini of these two companies are practically at Florida avenue and 7th street, and if the trackage arrangements are carried out as authorized by law the service will be precisely similar to that which is now enjoyed by those who use the Chevy Chase line, with the impor- tant ption it 1s proposed that the cars of either or beth companies are to run on the tracks of the other, so that there will be a continuous service from the heart of the city out 9th street and thence out the 7th street road to Takoma. It is not known, of course, what action the court will take on this petition, or whether the legal processes will be suf- ficiently rapid to give to the public this improved service at an early date, but there seems to be no question in the minds of the residents in that locality of the desirability of ‘having the proposed co-operation be- tween these two companies. Intent of the Legislation. Whatever may be the outcome of the present action, it seems to be the opinion of those familiar with the street railroad situation in the District that ifthe near future there must be some rather radical ebenges in isting between urban and un re It is thought that Congress by the passage of the law which the Brightwood railroad now seeks to have ex nd by still later le; iction, which allows all intersecting or con- necting roads to run trailers over the tracks of the re etive lines, reccgnizes the fact which has for some tme been apparent that suourben roads with no connectious with the center of the city are not apt to a financial success. s been no instance of the kind, ust in this vicinity, and the suburban . pure and simple, are barely able to t the operating expenses if they suc- It { ause this case of the Brightwood road has an important bearing on the entire street railroad prob- lem in this District that gives it its main importance. The Use of Trailers. If the cor.tention of the Brightwood com- pany is sustained by the court, there are other reads which, if not connecting, are at least inte ting, and existing law gives such roads authority to run the trailers, but not motor cars, over the roads inter- sected by them. In the event the latter law is executed then it will be possible for the residents in the Tenleytown region, for example, to reach the center of the city by the payment of one fare and possibly without changing cars. In case the Anacostia road changes its motive power to the prevailing system, then, according to existing laws, residents beyond the Eastern branch can reach the center of the city by the cutlay of one car ticket. Provision for all that region about Ben- ning and on through to the District line is made by the authority granted at the last session of Congress to the Columbia Railway Company to build an extension from the present eastern terminus of the road along the Benning read to the bounds of the District. By the law which was also enacted at the last session of Congress glv- ing permission to the Eckington and its allied roads to consolidate, the patrons of that line will enjoy a continuous service from the Treasury Department eastward through Eckington, and thence out along Rhode Is id avenue extended to the Dis- trict bounds. It is thought there ts now on the statute books ample authority to bring about those relations between city and subur- ban lines which will result in affording to the public the facilities of communication which the extent of the population of the District now demands. As to Tall Buildings. The recent decision of the court sus- taining the building regulation of the Dis- trict limiting, among other requirements, the height of buildings on residence streets to ninety feet seems to be in line with the policy pursued in many of the leading cities of the country in regard to such structures. Even in Chicago, where the tall building, so to speak, had its birth and where perhaps the most towering ex- amples of this sort of construction are to be seen, a building regulation is in force which prevents any addition to the num- of such buildings and limits the am- bition of uwners of real estate who wish to Improve their property to a sky line of reasonable height. While it is admitted that bulldings of this class possess certain advantages, both to the owner and to the tenants, yet it ts also claimed that, as a rule, they are not desirable neighbors. Those who occupy the adjacent property find a lack of light and air, the usual result of proximity to one of these buildings. Then, «gain, the charge is brought against such structures that, as usually built, they are not ornamental. Not Very Attractiy. Many of them are planned as if only one of the four towering wallg are to be visible to the public eye, and the three sides ere treated like the rear walls of an ordinary structure. Of course if everybody looked at such a building from thé side the architest intended, then thet es would rest on the finished front. = as the pubile ts obliged to see the raw of unfinished brick walls if they look out of their windows at all, the ornamented front sie little practical value, In addition, such a y of common ores par ria to uty of elty, . fact, by a great many people it is thought to be a decided blot on the landscape. There are, of course, other and perhaps more substantial reasons underly- ing the policy which has been adopted by so many authorities of the cities of this coun- try, such, for example, as the difficulty in me ceed in doing that. fighting fires in these buildings and the pos- sible dangers from constfuction defects, ° The Business Outlook. The series of interviews published in The Star during the past week with many of the well-known business men of the city in regard to the present condition of trade was read with interest even by those who confine their attention mainly to real es- tate. The general tenor of the statements made was that business had improved ma- terially during the past year, and the pros- pects for the fugure were encouraging. It seems to be the opinion of the leading -usiness men of the city that the financial depression is a thing of the past, and that the much-talked-of revival is not only here, but has come to stay. It is said that after such a period as the country has just passed through real estate is about the last of the many interests which invite the investment of money-to feel the effects of returning activity As dealers have said in this column, there are indications of an awakening in the real estate market, and it is believed by com- petent judges that the turning point has been reached and that hereafter the mar- ket will not only be more active, but will be on the upward grade. In view of this probable condition in the near future, real estate men, as well as others who are looked upon as competent to give advice in regard to investments, recommend that ad- vantage be taken of the present prices. It is claimed that purchases made now will show a good profit in the future. Another Landmark Gone.

In a letter written to his daughter ‘Thursday Mr. Schley told her that her plan was not only impracticable, but so absurd as to be farcical. “I wrote her,” continued Mr. Schley, “that her act would embarrass the commo- acre, bring about no good results, and give her a notoriety which would not only be Unpleasant to her, but to us all. I am very sorry that her unwarranted action has created 80 much publicity for her, and no good can come from it. “Of course, I would weleome every over- ture made by anybody that would help in ending the war, but order must be regu- lated by the constituted authorities, and cannot be effected by any outside organ- ization.

HOW THE CHANGE HAS COME ABOUT Today They Would Be Glad to See Us Win. Sees ATTITUDE OF THE EMPEROR a Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BERLIN, July 13, 1898. Had any well-informed American resi- dent of Germany been asked six weeks ago how the Germans felt toward the United States as regards the war with Spain, he would have unhesitatingly said they were against us from A to Z That statement would have been based not upon the hun- dred little daily insults and petty affronts to which Americans were subjected, but upon certain pronounced and positive fact In the first place, the most intense jealousy against us because of the rapid de- velopment of our trade, which is crowding the German manufacturers even in their markets. American steel rails, m: chinery, agricultural implements, tools of all kinds, bic; typewriting machin and novelties sell cheaper in Berlin today than similar articles of German mak. Another very sore and tender subject 1s the sugar question, the mention of which to most Germ like waving the pro- verbial red f n excited bul.

Change in Sentiment. Although nothing has occurred to change any of these facts, the question of German sympathy in the present war, if propound- 1 today, would require a diff t answer. he Germans now want America to win not out of sympathy, but out of self-inter- est. Pe: r wants to see us win. an sentiment is veering to the side of the United S for another rea- pn—because the United States is winning; in a big m y as in a big crowd or a big school, tuere is very little sympa- thy with the under dog. All considerations of interest and of admiration for sturdy fighting (which are of the greatest weight In Germany) lead the kaiser’s subjects to take a more favorable view of American Suceess than they were disposed to hold ion in writing ‘Will you tell me about the Germ: jan attitude toward the United States in this w , and whether tt is true that the kaiser is hostile to Ameri- can interests in the far east,” a leading scuth German editor sends the following reply our American pr infers from articles ¢: ered from lish and French sources, so far as I can see, that the Ger- man papers are one and all on the side of Spain. This is not correct. Certainly one meets a pronounced sympathy for Spain, but only in ve narrow-mind2d, conserv: tive circles, composed of those who see in the attack of your great republic upon the panish monarchy a direct offense against royalty by the grace of God.’ But this is a minority sentiment. Generally speaking, we think much more practically here. Our emperor said cnce in another connection, ‘Blood is thicker than water,’ and this sen~ timent applies here, too, for how many and how clos? are the ties of race and family and community; how many the connections of a personal nature that lead from us across the water to your country. Hspe- cially is this the case of west and south Germany, for after the revolution of ‘48 a vast percentage of the residents crossed the Atlantic to the United States. It is a notable fact that in these sections the sen- timent of sympathy for the United States is strongest. No Decided Feeling. “In regard to the disposition of the Phil- ippines, there is no very decided feeling for or against the United States. But we have lately acquired a peculiar trait of becoming bidders when any part of th> world is to be @ivided. In the past we have lost many opportunities. It is not likely that we will do so in the future. “Allow me in closing to call attention to a recent article in the officially-inspired Rhenischor Kurier on this subject of Amer- ica and the Philippin : “By permanent settlement in the Phil- ippines the United States would come into the closest vicinity not only of Japan, but also of the interest2d great powers of Eu- rope, namely, England, Russia and Ger- many. The United States would thereby forfeit their boasted tradition of solitari- ness. Whoever has neighbors must show some consid2ration, make some concessions, and cannot always maintain the juvenile and bold language with which even today the American republic astonishes Enropean diplomacy and through which hesitating Spain was driven into the war. “Phere 1s one very important question to be asked—whether the members of the Buropean-Hast Asiatic concert will allow admission into their own gocd society to the American republic. For us Germans, if England and the United States really bar- gain about the Philippines, the time will be most convenient for correcting our co- lonial map. Whether it will be by the di missal of th American-English co-govern ment in Samoa; whether by the giving back of Zanzibar, which was onc> exchanged for Heligoland, like a suit of clothes for @ trousers button, we will soon have in- terests to bring forward which will be in- portant in consideration of the Philippines. tt is doubtful if th2 United States will readily permit a European judgment to be passed upon the settlement of the Philip- Pine question, and although the young re- public forced Spain into the war without Tight, she has the absolute right to be the sole judge in the settlement of her case against Spain.’ ” Not a War for Humanity. When the same question of German sen- timent was submitted to a prominent Ber- lin manufacturer, who employs many hun- @red workmen in his factories, he answered: “Over nine-tenths of our people share the kaiser’s opinion in his policy of the strict- est neutrality. There is no sympathy in Germany for poor priest-ridden and degen- erate Spain, and our interests as well as ir 8} thy naturally tend toward the United States. We cannot, on the other hand, shut our eyes to the fact that our war. We laugh at the pretext of a war for the sake of humanity. We know that there would have been no rebellion in Cuba that it would have been suppressed by Spain except for American sympathy and It may go hard with Spain in the no business of ours, and understands German interests single pfennig for the the other.
