TROUBLE OYER CABLE RAILWAYS.

Homer A. Nelson, counsel for the Nassau
Cable Railway Company, corporation for building
system of cable railroads in Brooklyn, has obtained an
order to show why the adverse report OF the com
mssioners should not be set aside and new commission
appointed The order is returnable on Monday OF next
week Charles p Shaw. counsel for the NewYork Cable
Railway Company, said to TRIBUNE reporter yesterday
Among the grounds upon which the report Will be at
tackled are the following: The report states tnat tho
speed of the cable will be little than that OF horse
cars While the proofs that the average speed OF inc
horse car miles hour while that OF the cable
will be eight ahd onehalf miles for safety In crowded
thoroughfares, and when the thoroughiares are not
crowded can be increased fifty miles an hour or even
more The report also states that there was OPPOSITION %
on all OF while the fact is that on many thefo
was no opposition at ALL but the people
have been camoring for the cable roads Ihe
report ignores the vital question OF the
transfer system for q single 5-cent fare and
also the proposition the cable company to pay the FER
rago OF all passengers by way Of the Wall street Ferry
Aud finally another ground for the application Is that
money was collected from the cable company Tor the al
legged purpose Of paying the expenses OF the COMMISSION
on the pretence that the report Of the Commission was 10
be In favor of the cable company The main opposition
before the Commissioners from the existing horse
railroad companies, the companies the Union Ferry
COMPANY the cabmen, the managers or the Academy oi
Music, and the Greenwood Cemetery Company
