Report of the Washington Sub
way Commission.

Municipal Governments Should Own and
Control Street Railroads, Electric Light,
Gas and Water Works Plants, and
Everything That Occupies the Streets
for Any Purpose.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-President
Harrison has received report which
will attract more attention than that
submitted by any commission within a
great many years. 1t is from the com
mission appointed by the president more
than a year ago, composed of we'll
known civil engineers aud electricians,
to investigate the subject of subways in
Washington, and municipal ownership
of certain enterprises. The report was
largely prepared by Andrew Rosewater,
well-known engineer of Omaha, and
presents probably the first able and earn
est argument ever made in this country
in favor of municipal ownership of street
railways.
1t cites Paris and many foreign cities
to show that street railroads may be
owned and operated through leases by
cities so as to make large revenues and
at the same time prove greatly to the
advantage # the people. 1t anticipates
that ere many years street railroad sys-
TENS will be established or purchased
by municipal governments the same as
electric Ii ut. gas and waterworks,
which the commission declare should in
every instance be owned by the
cities. The commission take the
unqualified ground that municipali-
ties should own and control everything
that occul IS the streets. 1t gives a
stab to th) argument of the tele-
graph companies that it impairs
the operation of telegraph wires to
place them underground by bringing
the statements of electricians from Lon
don and elsewhere, showing that tele-
graph wires many times of greater
length underground than would be
necessary in New York, Chicago or Gin
cinnati, are not the least impaired by the
fact of being in the form of under
ground cable. 1t recommends the inn
mediate forcible operation of the under
ground cable system for telegraph and
telephone wires here, and says it is a
spectacle to see a telegraph
United sta IS government in the matter
of refusing to put its wires under
ground. The commission believes that
thesexample set by Chicago in cutting
down telegraph poles should be followed
by the officers here. The report is very
able and exhaustive and will be sent 70
congress by the president and printed
for public use

United States seems little premature,
because the facts of the case have moi
been indisputably ascertained.
Captain Schley has done his best to
present a plain, unvarnished tale to his
government, but he is mainly dependent
for his information on the statements OF
sailors not favorably placed for attain
ing strict accuracy. There is nothing
at present to suggest that the affray
was more than an ordinary street row.
Chill is naturally an unusual murder
Gus country. where the carrying and
using of knives and weapons is general.
Until the riot is actually shown to have
a different character, the United States
government has right to demand ex-
plantations, and possibly reparation for
the families of the dead, but not right
to prefer demands in g clustering and
threatening manner for q civil, not
criminal wrong.
Riots are not unknown under the
benignant sway of the United States
government, and have sometimes been
more destructive OF life than the affray
at Valparaiso.
