The New Propositioa by the Raalrosd Com
pany Approved by Secretary Lameut
The Washington and Arlington Railroad
Company is having great dificulty in crossing
the Potomac river. The company wss au-
thorized by Congress 10 construct . bridge
over the Potomac ''st or near the three
sisters." Subsequent legislation in The case
Of the Great Falls Electric Railroad Con-
gress, however. specifically prohibited The use
Of Canal road above Georgetown by any surface
railroad. The Arlington company wgs accord
ingiy prevented from building its road on II
street beyond S7th street where the canal
road begins unless 10 selects some other
route than the canal road or unless
way. In order to meet these objections the
railroad company decided to aban-
don . the site at Three Sisters and
to build the bridge lower down the river
from n point opposite S7th street This plan
was subject, Of coursc to the approval Of the
War Department. The new site il 2.200 feet
east Of the Three Sisters and 400 feet west OF
the Aqueduct bridge.
The matter was presented to the War De-
partment and the question at once arose ~ 10
whether the proposed structure could be au-
thorized under the provision for a bridge
sat or near the Three Sisters" The plans
and specifications for the bridge were salts
there was n decided difference OF opinion a. to
whether the site selected was smear" the Three
Sisters within the meaning OF the law. 1t is, in
fact, more than half a mile distant
SECRETARY LAMONT APPROVES.
Gen. Casey and other officers Of the enginee,
corps opposed the construction Of anothe,
bridge in such close proximity to the
existing structure, and also expressed
doubts as to it's authorization under
the law. Assistant Secretary Grant and
Acting Judge Advocate General Leibel
each gave an opinion that the site selected
could legally be regarded as near the Thces
Sisters" provided in the act, and that there
was no legal objection to the construction OF thu
bridge at the point indicated.
In order, however. ;ha: there could be nc
possible doubt on the subject the question wal
submitted TO the attorre: general. His opinion
reached the War Department yesterday. i
throws absolutely no lignt on tho point in con
troversy. however.
In effect the Attorney General hold,
that the Secretary Of War is fully au
thorized to determine whether the erec
ton Of the bridge at the point in
dicated is a compliance within the terms Of tn,
act authorizing the RAILROAD company to con
struct a bridge ''at or near the Three Sisters,
and that his decision in the matter is final.
Secretary Lamont today decided that th,
bridge as proposed could be built

"GREA1ER NEW YORK."
An Unfouneed Report That the Consolida.
dation Bill Had Been Beaten.


ALBANY, N. Y, March 22-The report that
the greater New York bill was defeated at a
secret meeting Of the senate committee Last
night is untrue.
The committee went into secret session, and
what TRANSFERRED in connection with the greater
New York bill is thus told by Senator Brown
chairman of the committee:
Senator Endres was absent and I moved
that the greater New York bill be
reported. Senator Coggshall Republican OF
Utica) asked on behalf Of Senator McCarty
that the consideration Of the bill be
deferred until he (McCarty) was present
as he had some amendments to offer. Where
upon the bill was laid over till today, when /
understand that Corporation Counsel jerks is
to be here with some changes which the Brook
lyu authorities desire to make. There was no
action and no vote taken on the bill.
Senator Commegeshall says: There was no
vote on the bill and no attempt to either
defeat or rush it through the committee
For nv part, / am in favor Of knock
ing out that provision which requires
thai whether the popular vote ia
for or against the project, that the greater
New York commission shall 60 ahead
and draw up o bill for the consolida-
ton. 1 think if the popular vote Of
Brooklyn or any other locality is
against the bill that the functions
Of the bill in reference to that locality at least
should cease. l am therefore in favor of the
amendment to compass this, which the Brook
Ign senator's will press both in the committee
and on the floor OF the senate"

Members Of Congress Not 10 He Ignored, but
the People Are 10 be Heard From.
Five members Of the Missouri delegation in
Congress, headed by Representative Bland.
called ct the Post Office Department
today and had . conference with POST
master General Bissell The delegation
desired some expression from Gen
Bissell - to what weight would be given
to the recommendations Of members Of Con-
gress in the appointment. Of postmasters 1t
had been repeatedly stated in the news
papers, it was said, that congressional in
fuence was TO go for nothing. and this
statement had been so often repeated that 1t
bad come to be the general belief throughout
the country that the Recommendation and in
fiuence OF a member Of Congress was
OF no particular value to an appli-
cant can't It was an embarrassing situa-
hoped that the Postmaster General would give
them q definite answer on these points
Mr.. Bland stated a hypothetical case
There were In q certain town half
dozen applicants for the postmastership
They were all good men-equally good-and
each had fled in the department a petition
signed by a respectable number of reputable
citizens. The question which Mr.. Bland de-
sired answered was whether the recommends
ton Of the member of Congress for that dis
%
favor.
THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Bissell listened attentively to all that
was said. but declined to decide ques-
tons Of this characte- until an actual
sion was presented Ee did not think
that he could justly be held respon-
sible for what had been published in the
newspapers, and he called attention to the
fact that thus far net a single post
master had been appointed who had not the
Endorsement of the member Of Congress.
That ought to be taken as conclusive ev-
idence that newspapers sometimes made mis-
takes. and that 1t WAS by no means his in.en-
tlon to ignore members Of Congress. He
thought however. tina: the question Of
candidates should, in q measure at leas.,
be decided by the people Of the
locality. They we're more interested than any
one else and undoubtedly their wishes should
be consulted and given very great weight. What
he most desired VAS that he should have the ben
eft OF the advice of the people as well that of
their representatives in Congress No enc
would in any sense be ignored, and it was folly
to suppose TINT the assistance, advice and
recommendations OF men OF such high charac-
ter as were the representatives of the people in
congress were not earnestly desired. His great
aim was to give the people o: this country the
best possible postal service in every branch.
EDITORS AND WOMEN HAVE A SHOW.
Mr.. Bissell said he had understood that the
statement had been published that no women
were to be appointed to postmssterships
and that newspaper men were also to
be Disseminated against. Neither Of
these stories was true and he
regretted their publication. He babe the dele
CATION good-day and hoped they would come
and see him whenever they had anything to say
in regard to the appointments in his depart
ment.

New YORK, March 22.-Speyer h Co. will
say nothing about the report that they have
served notice on the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad of their intention to Immediately call
the large loan recently made to the company.
The loan was made on time and has several
months yet to run. The alleged ground for de-
manding the return Of the money is that there
was Misrepresentation as to the value of the
collateral provided by the Reading. 1t is said
to have been this matter which brought A. A.
Mcleod, the president and one OF the receivers
of the Reading, to New York yesterday.
