The Street Railways.

The Metropolitan Railway Company.
which was required to change its motive
power by July p. 1893. has not compiled
with this requirement, nor has it sub
stituted for the old rail the standard grooy-
ed girder rail required by act of Congress-
throughout its lines.
The Columbia Railway Company has not
yet complied with the requirements of Con-
gress to change its rail-
Practically nothing has been done by the
following roads under the charters Of modi-
fcation of same granted by Congress: CO.
lumoia Suburban, lexington and Soldiers
Home. Great Falls and Maryland and
Washington.
During the year the Brightwood Railroad
Company has completed an excellent dou-
BILE track road from Florida avenue on 7th
street northwest to Takoma Park with
spurs to 18th street on Kenyon and Marshall
streets, to Soldiers Home on Richmond
street and to the District line on Bright
wood avenue.
The most interesting event, however, in
connection with street railways has been
the successful completion and operation of
a double track road on street northwest
from 7th to 18th streets. with underground
wires. Though somewhat more expensive
to construct 1t has all the advantages of
the ordinary overhead trolley, with the ad-
ditional ones of having no Objectionable and
dangerous overhead wire, and q protection
OF the gas and water ptpe by the use CT
a return wire.
Having many advantages over the cable
and other electric systems, 1t is to be hoped
that the future wiz see considerable ex-
tension of this or some similar system.
Steam Railways.
Upon this subject can only repeat my
report of last year. The annoyance and
dangers resulting from the numerous grade
crossings of the two great railroad sys-
TENS are subjects Of daily complaint There
is, at present, no Improvement Of such vital
Importance to the interests Of the city as
the removal of these tracks from the sur
face of the streets.
in making the necessary changes the
best interests of the city demand that the
grade of the railway tracks shall be made
dependent upon the established grades OF

The report gives a summary Of the laws
governing overhead wires and conduts in
the District, including the act Of August G.
1880. providing for the appointment of a
board Of experts to investigate the subject
The conclusions reached in the reports of
the Engineer Commissioner of the District
December g. 1883, and by the board of cleo

4 Compromise Measure.

Washington, Sept. Il. - Senator
Faulkner today will offer in the Senate
an amendment to the pending finan-
cial bill. 1t withdraws from circulation
all notes save tender greenbacks of
denominations less than $40, and sub
stituteS in their stead silver coin. He
believes that by the withdrawal of
these notes silver dollars and s. and
s.. 80 gold pieces will circulate along
side each other in the ordinary course
Of trade. He will provide for the
coinage of silver up TO an aggregate
$500, 900, 900, and when that amount is
reached. the coinage of silver will
cease absolutely. The present aggre-
gate of silver coin, including subsid-
iary coin amounts to 615,000, 900,
so that the increase under the amend
ment will be lS5,OO0,00O. 1t will be
provided, first, that no more pur-
chases Of silver bullion shall be made
until the seignorage and bullion now
in the Treasury, amounting to S,00O,-
600, have been coined. It is estimated
that it will take three years to do this.
After that time the secretary is direct
ed TO buy silver and coin it until the
amount designated has been reached.
1t is understood the President will be
asked to favor the measure as 4 COM
promise.
