The Proposed Change On the Routes
and the Business 1ateresss Of she
Ctty-WhAs Dr. Culver Has Go Say o.
the Sub1ccs.
"whoever wrote that article lodges the issue
entirely said Mr. c. p. Culver 70 q STAR reporter
to-day. referring TO q communication published 10
the city papers, signed IAN Old Merchant setting
forth in effect that the opposition to the railroads
In south Washington was opposition 20 the ousi-
ness interests OF the city. II call that cowardy
way OF nghtng-this hiding In the ambuscade OF
nom de ps.tms: We are lighting openly, publicly
and honestly"
"Would your plan. II adopted, in any way de-
crease the railroad facilities OF the city,"
that our plan, which is set forth in the citizens
bill were adopted, IL would greatly benent every
business interest We do not ask that the railroads
south Washington without proposing remedy.
Here, 1 will explain TO you,' continued Mr..
wa OF 5ns once aee h ae ssce on en
tine route proposed In the citizens bill This
provides for junction OF the two branches OF the
entrance then into the city by way OF 18th street
east, and union with the Baltimore and Potomac
route Is through the tunnel, and rising on a via
duct over the squares living between and l.
streets SOUTH until IL strikes Water street at the
foot or 9TH street west. Here Il Is suggested that
union depot be erected Hence the roads are 70 be
carried by the viaduct along Water street 10 the
Long Bridge.
ave propose continued Mr. Culver ito permit
the railroad 10 build stations and depots at any
point between the Long bridge In the west and the
tunnel in the east You can see that the railroad
and business men would get every advantage, and
more advantages than this proposed establishment
OF freight depot west OF i4th street would give
them"
"How about the alleged injustice to the railroad
company In making them lose the benent OF their
ground west OF l4Lh street," asked the reporter.
"That ground was purchased" said Mr.. Culver.
"long after this agitation was begun and when the
| railroad company had received ample notice that
N a n "a
streets and would certainly resist any further ag
gressions in that direction. The question might
be asked why did the railroad company consult
the District commissioners as 10 their powers TO
grant the privileges they ask before making this
purchase The commissioners are undoubtedly
endeavoring to discharge their duty as faithfully
they know how, under the law, but the law Itself
Is not very clear, and In order that they might not
transcend their power. they have withheld the
privileges asked for by the railroads TO encroach
upon the rights OF the citizens. This man." con-
tnued Mr. Culver. referring TO the published COM
munication, "SayS the railroad company has pur-
chased this property west or l4th street. and must
get TO IL. suppose the railroad had purchased
property north OF Pennsylvania avenue. The con-
ciuson would be just strC ng and logical that the
railroad must cross Pennsylvania arenue."

ALBANY, n. T., December 22-The EVENING Jour-

Evarts to Senator James ArKell: "In response to
many inquiries. and requests made me from all
parts OF the state take the liberty In this form.
making public my readiness and desire to be con-
sidered among the candidates for election by the
legislature as Senator from this state. In asking
the favor ana support OF the republican senator's
and aSsemblymen for this distinguished and re-
sponstble representation OF this great state in the
Senate OF the United States have no occasion to
qualify or restate the principles OF the
republican party or my own hearty accept
ance and undoubt1ng maintenance OF those princi-
pies" After reference to republican principles, as
set forth In the PLATFORM the letter says In this
last, as In every earlier struggle to
maintain the supremacy OF the republican
policy In the government OF the country,
have given every aid in my power to the support
OF the policy, the doctrines and the candidates OF
the republican party" After speaking OF the i'm
p0rtance OF maintaining the republican aScendancy
In the United States Senate he adds: I'm this crit
zeal 1uncture in the affairs OF the country and in
the interests Of the republican party l am
desirous to fail In no duty on my part
towards the welfare of the country and the
prevalent authority Of the republican party in the
national government, which deem, inseparable
from that welfare. have no doubt the legislature
will treat the duty before them with entire de-
Voton to the highest and best interests involved
the election OF the Senator, and submit to their
Judgment the question whether these interests can
be better served by myself or by another"
