AFTER THE TROLLEY TRUST.

The Times VIII to-day, through It's repre-
sentative, file information against the
Trolley Trust for obstructing the streets for
private purposes, contrary to law. This
informat on has already been filed once be
fore by Prosecutor Pugh and the defendant,
NanagerSchoepf,o oflhe trust, wascunyicted
and fined $50, and sentenced to the work
house. But the sentence was appealed from
and further prosecution stopped by order
Of The Commissioners. The Times does
not expect TO secure a removal Of the trolley
poles within the District as provided by
law Under the circumstances such a re
suit is impossible, but the effort to bring
about an enforcement Of the law VIII
make still more plain the deception prac-
ticed in the former alleged prosecution of the
Trolley Trust, and give the public oppor-
tunity to place the responsibility where it
belongs.
The trolley trust has come here to stay,
and it has friends in authority who VIII
prevent the removal OF the overhead troll
ley until such time as it can be legalizcd.
Before Congress meets trolley trains from
Baltimore viii be running into this city
by way OF New York avenue, aud as
soon as possible the road VIII be extended

In Turkestan, on the right bank Of the
Amou Diara, in chain of rocky hills, near
the Rockharan town sf Karki, are "a number
Of large caves which, upon examina tion,
were found to lead to an underground city,
built apparently long before the Christian
era. According to effigies, inscriptions and
designs upon the gold ana silver money un-

OF The town dates back to some two centu-
ries before the birth OF Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is about
two verstS long and is composed of an enor-
nous labyrinth OF corridors, streets and
squares, surrounded by houses and other
buildings two or three stories high. The ed
ificeS contain all kinds of domestic utensils,
pots, urns, vases and so forth. In some of
the streets falls of earth and rock have OBJ
structed the passages, but generally the Wis
itor can walk about freely without lowering
his head. The high degree of civilization
attained by the Inhabitants OF the city is
shown by the fact that they built in several
stories, by the symmetry Of the streets and
square, and by the beauty of the clay and
metal utensils and of the ornaments and

WASHINGTON vICToRIoUs S

Again Washington is at the front The
victory won at Sea Girt yesterday by the
District of Columbia National Guard fur
nishes the greater cause for rejoicing in
that our marksmen not only carried off the
great Hilton trophy, but excelled all pre-
vious records. Gen. Wingate paid the
District soldiers high compliment when
he said their shooting was simply marvellous.
Washington has every reason to be
proud OF its citizen-soldiers. They do
themselves and the District honor wher-
ever they go. This year they have carried
off prizes in all competitions. This last
achievement is so extraordinary that no
encomium bestowed upon it can be regarded
as too extravagant

result, for it is lis purpose 10 offer, or

RAPID TRANSIT.

1t is coming to pass, so II would seem,
that tie underground electric trolley VIII
supersede all known methods Of street
car propulsion. Horses, Of course, are
out Of date; the overhead trolley Is gen
orally conceded TO --be a nuisance, and
the cable is said TO be much more cx-
pensiye and cumbersome in point ct opera
ton, If not III the plant, than the under
ground trolley. OF all modern methods
Of street car power the last named, espc-
ciauy for cities, is said to be the cheap
est in the eud.
In New York city the underground cleo
tric system has been substituted on one
road Tor the cable, and the managers de-
clare themselves as more than pleased
with the change. In this city there are
two specimens, the L street section of
the Rock Creek Railway and the Ninth
street line OF the Metropolitan Company,
which Is said to he the finest electric street
railway in the world. 1t is probable that
the next viii be the street line OF The
same corporation.
OF all surface roads the underground
trolley system appears TO come the near
est TO furnishing rapid transit, and for
this reason is apt TO be most literally
patronized. one danger however, it VIII
be necessary 10 guard against-too rapid
transit. At times the trains on the Ninth
street line run with express speed, at
least 20 per cent more rapidly than is
consistent with the safety Of life and
limb on crowded streets. This, however,
is a fault very easily remedicd, and If
the underground viii only crowd out the
unsighty aud dangerous overhead trolley
everybody VIII be glad.

WHY NOT "A GREATER WASH
INGTON?"

ION
The Washington correspondent OF Ike
Baltimore sun calls attention TO the ne
ceSsily for a Greater Washington. and ad-
vises the acquisition OF the south bank
OF the Potomac River, opposite the Dis
trict HIS argument is that under the Dis
trict government the abuses that now
affIict that locality would be entirely
eradicated. and that the beautiful build
ing sites along the bank OF the river
would soon become valuable for residence
purposes. .
From any standpoint the change would
benefit Alexandra county. IL would
obYiate the possibility of so much lawless
ness, and place the government OF that
county IN the hands of law abiding people
The same conditions would govern that
now prevail in that part OF Maryland that
borders on the District, and the river would
no longer be made a boundary line for
toughs TO escape over when fleeing from
The officers Of the law.
AS suggested by the correspondent, Vir-
ginia might object To making a cessinn
OF the territory to the District, but the
amount desired would not be- large and Con-
gress could afford To literally compen-
safe her for the land to be decided. The
/ constitutional amount OF land TO be owned
by The District is limited to ten miles
square, and as the proposed purchase
would only restore a part OF the land crigi-
nnally ceded by Virginia, but afterward

result not pleasant to contemplate.
The Times owns no trolley trust stock
and is not fighting the overhead trolley
through its columns while secretly OBJ
structing legislation in order to insure
its retention. The suit begun against the
trolley trust to day is an evidence OF
sincerity, and Were it not impossible to
bring the case to a successful termination,
owing to the peculiar status OF this troll
ley trust among those in authority, the
prosecution would be continued until every
trolley pole in the District was pulled
down.

Hot Water Filters and Helpers was held
last evening at No. 13l4 street north

chair.
Special committees We're appointed to
wait on the authorities in charge of the work
on the new art gallery, st. Matthews Church
and the Cosmos Club to try and prevent
the further employment of non union men
on the improvements now going on in these
buildings.
A resolution was passed declaring it to
be contrary to the accepted rules all over
the country for any man to furnish tools
for any work for his employer.
Secretary White was instructed to write
Mr.. Albert Carey, president National Brew

Association was severely criticised.
After a lengthy discussion it was finally

at the steamfitters' trade, and that any or
