THE SILVER QUESTION.
Action Of the Democratic Majority is to
Determined by Caucus.

Action OF the Democratic Majority is to Be
Determined by Caucus.
The decree of King Caucus is to be invoked
to settle the silver question in the democratic
party. This was decided upon today, and
s,nguiariy enough the opponents of
free coinage are the ones who have
taken the initiative in demanding
a party caucus. Representative Harter of Ohio
circulated among the democratic members of
the House today the following call for caucus:
To the Hon. VIM. s. Holman, chairman of
the caucus: The undersigned respectfully ask
You to call the democratic members of the
House together at the House on Friday next at
1880 o'clock pm. to consider what should be
the action of our side Of the House upon the
question OF whether any legislation concerning
the coinage of silver shall be brought up dur
ing the present session for discussion and final
action.
Mr.. Harter had no difficulty in getting MANY
more than the requisite number OF signatures
to the call OF the caucus. and on the presenta-
ton OF the paper to Mr.. Holman. the chairman
OF the CAUCUS that gentleman stated that he
would at once issue the formal call.
II believe, with many other members of the
House. said Representative Harter TODAY.
that such caucus was very desirable from
the standpoint of those who favor free coinage
as well as from that of those who are opposed
to it. The signatures to the call are not
limited to the members who are opposed to the
free coinage of a legal tender silver dollar
which costs the silver miner Al cents and which
everybody else, including men, women,
children and pensioners, would be
Obliged to take at its full value of hundred
cents, but include those who hold the view that
the free and unlimited coinage of silver would
be beneficial to the general interests OF the
country

CROSSING THE CANAL.
Proposed Change of Route ofthe washinetou
and Western Maryland Eoad.

Proposed Shange OF Route of the washington
and Western Maryland Eoad.
The Commissioners gave hearing this af-
ternoon in accordance with an advertisements
invitation to those persons interested in Senate
bill 1902 TO amend the act incorporating the
Washington and Western Maryland Railroad
Company.
The amendment changes that portion OF the
road authorized to run on the south bank Of
the canal by allowing il TO cross the canal and
River road at point 2400 feet east Of Chain
bride to a point immediately north of
that road by means of a bridge
SO elevated as not to interfere with the opera
ton of the canal, its travel or traffic or with
the travel on or the public use OF the River
road. The road then proceeds westwardly 70
the western line of the District of Columbia
Mr.. George L. Hamilton Of counsel for the
railroad explained the bill in detail and dwels
upon the advantages 10 be gained by the con-
struction of tine road as conte mplated.
Under the call for objectors Mr.. J. r. Clark,
representing the Palisades of the Potomac I'm
provement Company, entered protest against
the occupancy Of that subdivision by
the railroad II ran Its entire length
IN the District on that property aud
he thought that the Representatives Of the
company should have waited upon the owners
of the Palisades and made ovcrtures to them
for the Use Of the property and not have re-
sorted to Congress for legislation authorizing
condo mnation proceedings.
Mr. L. IL. Cottrell followed in the same line.
He thought it would be unjust TO allow the road
10 run over the Palisades property, us il would
virtually ruin il. The present bill allowed the
company 10 erect work shops. yards, round
houses, tracks. &c, and these would ruin all
property about them.
Mr.. Hamilton replied that il was not the in
tention OF the company to erect shops wards,
DC. on the Palisades property. The whole OBJ
ject Of the road was TO benefit the people of
Georgetown. 1t was suggested by resident
of Georgetown who present that clause
be inserted in the bill STIMULATING the time for
completing the road.
Mr.. AZ. II. Tenney Of Georgetown, also spoke
in favor OF the bill.
