Cruelty to Animals.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
At this, 10 Am, am the witness of the most
brutal case of prolonged cruelty and torture
to dumb animal that has ever occurred within
my knowledge. Since O'Clock tins morning a
herdic horse has stood in front of the Interior
Department with its ankle broksn-unable to
move one step. The snow and rain beat down
on Its head and the poor beast lifts in agony
every few minutes its aching hoof and
splintered bones from out the piles of snow.
hoping perhaps to relieve the pain which the
cold snow increases. For three hours that
horse has stood there in the sight Of
hundreds of passersby mutely appealing
for help-in vain. Can it be thai
in great city such disgusting brutality can be
permitted for such u length Of time and those
responsible remain unpunished2 The horse
was even driven after the ankle was broken Ia
the place where it now stands, distance of
nearly a square. The case was reported to DO
lice headquarters at $50. Agent Key was on
the spot q few moments later, but said he could
not shoot the horse without the owners per-
mission. and that owner had already refused by
his persistent neglect Of the animal 10 relieve
the animal Of it misery. 4 O. 9. j.

RAILROAD AND CANAL.
A Resolution in the Maryland Senate to Pro-
tect the Waterway

A Resolution in the Maryland Senate to Pro-
tect the Waterway.
In the Maryland legislature Senator Robinson
has introduced two joint resolutions concern
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
connections to be pade by it west of George
town and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
The first OF these resolutions recItes that
las the Washington and Western RaiIro Dad Com
pany. authorized by act of Congress to con-
struct a railroad from Georgetown to the Dis
trict line. has passed under the control of par
ties representing the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. and whereas the said charter
expired March 2. 1892. and whereas the said
corporation is seeking to renew its charter and
obtain from Congress the right to condemn
the property OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal and place bridge over the canal in
such form as would prevent the Use of the
canal railroad well a waterway and
greatly depreciate the value of the prop
erty and be a SrIevOUs wrong to the people of
Maryland, and declares that the Senators of
Maryland be instructed and the Representa-
tlves In Congress be requested to prevent the
extension of the charter of the Washington
and Western company unless it shall be so
amended as to prevent the said railroad COM
pany from occupying. using or acquiring any
property OF sand Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company.
The other resolution requires the Attorney
General TO enjoin all persons from occupying
the property of the canal, and also to bring
the attention of the circuit court for Washing
tor county to the action OF the trustees now in
charge Of said property and to pray the court to
pass an order on the trustees directing them to
prevent the misuse OF the canal property.
Yesterday afternoon the opening of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal for the season was
inaugurated at Cumberland by the departure
of boat loaded with coal for Williamsport. Five
boats are now on their way from Wiiliamsport
to Cumberland. There are one hundred boats
at different points along the canal awaiting
orders to 60 to Cumberland and load.

some experiments Of considerable importance
10 the lumber interests are under way bv the
forestry division Of the Agricultural Depart
men'' the object of which is to determine the
enect ~nich the practice of gathering resinous
matter Tor the manufacture of turpentine and
havai stores from the long-leaf pine OF the
soo'h may have upon the strength Of the tim
uer OF trees subjected to this practice. pre-
hmlnary report on the subject has been issued
oy Mr.. Is. E. Fernow, chief of the division.
Inc current public belief has been that the
timber of these 'boxed' trees. sometimes
called 'turpentine timber" is deteriorated bv
the process. Not only is its durability. in
which this species excels, believed to be less
ehed, but also its strength, and hence its value
IA sne market has been considerably reduced.
since annually from 100000 to $50, 900 acres of
inns pine are boxed, involving in this assumed
ueterloration, at the lowest estimate, 600 OOO-
0oO feet. b. NJ. of lumber, a considerable loss
IN values. counting by millions of dollars, is
thereby incurred.
The circular just issued BY Mr.. Fernow SAYS:
AS Tar as durability is concerned, there seems
little doubt that the withdrawal of the resinous
matter, which furnishes protection against the
penetration OF water and seems also to have
antseptlc properties reduces the capacity to
Withstand rot at least in some parts of the tree;
the portion near the scar. where the resin ac-
cumulates, OF course becomes more durable.
But 1t dbl not seem reasonable that the strength
IN general should suffer. The tests conducted
IN the test laboratory at st. Louis, in charge of
froi. >. Ii. Johnson, give countenance to the i'm
portant conclusion that 'turpentine' timber
seems 10 possess greater strength than timber
from unlocked trees Although the tests and
examinations of this series are not vet com.
pieted, ana further study will perhaps necessi-
tate notifications Of this general statement,
the economic importance of the discovery
seemed to call for immediate preliminary pub
iication especially since the investigation mad to
De Interrupted for lack OF funds and may there
fore, not be continued for some time, delaying
Verifcatlon and fuller conclusions''
MI. Fernow adds after discussing tho matter:
I'VE feel, however, justified to maintain that
the Claimed inferiorlty OF turpentine timber in
strength does not exist

East Washington. Street Car Ne.ds

To the kaiitor of The Evening Star
What the people living in the northeastern
section Of Washington want is some new street
ear line which will be constructed within a
year and will furnish more rapid transit They
are indifferent as to the route so that it will
only reach that large territory between the
present East Capitol and II street lines The
danger il that with the multiplicity of bills in
troduced none will become a law In view OF
the request of the Metropolitan Railway Com
pany for one years delay in introducing cleo
tric motors on their line the most feasible re-
lief would be Tor Congress at once TO pass the
pending bill to extend the lexington line east
ward from New Jersey avenue and street, for
that line seems to have no difficulty in running
Its cars with electric motors But the bill
ought to be modified by limiting the time for
the completion Of this extension 70 one year.
