The railroad problem Is one which citizens
have thought for a number Of years that each
new Congress would solve, but the problem
still remains. As the present Congress- or a,
least the Senate end Of it, has taken M tie sub.
ject in business-like way SO early in its exist
ence, perhaps the hope Of q speedy determine
ton Of the fate Of the steam railroads inside
the city limits and the streets now occupied or
crossed by them is stronger than it has ever
been before. The question that interests the
citizens is what is the result to be? The re-
moval of the Baltimors and Ohio tracks from
the streets they now occupy and their CONSOLE
dation upon one street, the reduction at the same
time in the number of crossings and the i'm
provement In the character of the crossings
have been the subjects sought by q number OF
bills tina. have made their appearance in Con-
gress within the past few years. The bill now
pending. which is receiving much attention
because it is announced a bill upon which
the railroad authorities and tho members of
the Senate District committee have agreed, is
that known as the Faulkner bill
CONSOLIDATING THE BRANCHES.
The Baltimore and Ohio road now occupies
a good deal of street room and spreads the
annoyances incidental to railroads on grade
over a considerable area by reason Of the fact
that the two branches of the road enter the
city ut different points and do not unite until
they have passed far into the city, almost to
the station at street and New Jersey avenue

public hearing before the District Commits
sioners Monday that the bill would be modified
in regard To the closing Of these streets 1t was
not intended, he said, to chose North Capitol
street, as the company planned to carry that
street by means Of bridge over the tracks.
This bridge would be long one. extending
clear across the loop. 1t was stated by the en-
gineer at the same time that the closing Of
street was not essential to the plans of the COM
pany. That street. he stated could be left
open as grade crossing.
The bill and plans of the company contem-
plate four tracks all the length of Delaware
avenue. At their entrance to the city at
boundary these tracks will be according to the
bill at grade or in an open cut.
THE PROPOSED BRIDGES.
The company is required to erect bridges
over the tracks to carry Massachusetts, avenue.

from F street and North Capitol street and

will be four feet in o hundred This bridge
carries Massachusetts, avenue over the Della

side Of the loop.
The bridge at H street 10 to be sixty feet

contemplate approaches of masonry and bridges

The Dtsinitz- Tschigorin Match-Problems
Games, Notes


The steinitz- Tschigorin match ended last
Sunday in Steinitz's favor by q score of 10 to 8
and draws. The contest was one of the closes,
on record and has given to the literature Of the
game some fine specimens Of mastery play.
Several very important variations have been
discovered, especially in the Evans, where Mr..
Steinitz has greatly strengthened the defense
by some new and remarkable lines of develop
ment, and as everybody knows the play of the
great master in important matches is compare
lively free from the crotchets which mar SO
much of his closet analysis
The twenty-first game was remarkably in
teresting Steinitz gambit instead of king .
gambit, as cabled. Tschigorin inaugurated q
new method of attack. which Steinitz thinks
hard to resist if correctly followed up, but the
Russian did not make the most of his position
and a draw resulted on the forty move,
after nearly six hours play.
The last game was a kings gambit, opened
by Tschigorin, but won by the American cham
pion in twenty-nine moves.

Development m ADVERTISING.

In no department of the modern
newspaper has there been greater and
more marked improvements shown
than in the field of advertising.
There is a greater display of taste
and literary style in the composition,
an evident effort is made to appeal
to the intelligence and refinement of
the reader. This is seen not only in
the advertisements of the large mer-
camille establishments, where trained
skill is employed, but as well in the
three line advertisement which is
written by the advertiser himself,
and which, in terseness and direct
ness of style, can lay claim to great
literary merit. The development of
advertising may yet lead to the es-
adjustment of special courses of
training in business colleges. AL
ready nearly s25,ooo,OOO are spent
annually in the United States in
newspaper advertising, every dollar
of which, if used judiciously, has re-
turned a large interest to the in

June 10, 1890, by which Jay Gould
expected to obtain possession of the
Kansas City, Wyandotte & North

the plaintiff. The fling of the suit
creates considerable of stir in rail-
