AGAINST STRAIGHT COURSE
Commissioners Report on the Open
Ing of Connecticut Avenue.
Figures Submitted Showing That the
Recorded Plan Can BE Adopted
at Less Cost.

In their report to Congress upon the eX-
tension Of Connecticut avenue, as referred
To in yesterdays Evening Times, the Com
missioners show, by comparison. the re-
lative cost Of opening that thoroughfare
from the city boundary To the District line
by straight course, and also by the re-
corded plan, Which varies from a straight
line in order, for one thing, to traverse
ground already dedicated, and for other
reasons. The figures submitted by the
Commissioners are as follows: Straight eN,
tension, cost of land, 1887, 506; OF inn
provements, S73, 800; of grading and pave
ments, 465,50S; OF bridge construction over
Rock Greek, $4,000. Total cost, SOL
3l4.
Commissioners recorded extension, cost
Of land, $3.50, $40; grading and pavements,
Sl75, 600; OF bridge over Rock Creek, 81 70,
600. Total cost, S4T0,64o.
Difference in cost, in favor of the Com
misSioners' plan Of extending, $3.50, ,67i
This is not the total amount OF the diff
Ference, however, according TO the report
The Commissioners estimate that when
all inCiGentals and damages now indeter-
inmate, are included, the aggregate excess
Of cost in running IA straight course Will
reach u quarter OF a million of dollars.
They call attention TO the fact that by
the recorded plan 10 improvements are dis
turbed.
They say further that the straight ex-
tension of the avenue will leave in an
awkward situation the existing Connect
cut avenue, between Kalorama and Cali
fornia avenues, on which lots the i'm.
provements fall, there being only limited
area between. If the present avenue were
closed, the cost OF opening would be mater
tally increased.
Attention is also called to the fact that
between common points, the direct To-
cation OF the recorded plan measures / 900
feet, while the other measures 1880, 4
difference OF only fifty feet, and this is
cited as an additional argument against
tie change.
The straight course advocated Will cause
the avenue to extend through some high.
| priced territory, some OF it being owned
respectively, by Mr.. Charles Handy, Miss
L. l. Dorsey, the w. b. Moses estate, and
ST Margaret's Episcopal Church.
Upon the point raised against DETECTION
! from the symmetrical point Of view, the
| Commissioners note that the course OF
! other avenues in the city is similarly
| changed at points, particularly deSignat
! ing Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, New
| York, and Virginia avenues.
The Comluis SiOnerS say further that the
| junction Of the direct avenue with Columbia
road would Not be slightly. This road, it is
| urged affords one of the finest drives If
| the northwest, and joins in a natural and
easy manner with the recorded Connect,
| cut avenue.
Tie whole subject seems to be condensed
/ into a few sentences. from their stand
| point, when the Commissioners say:
In brief, the advantage in cost, useful
! ness and public convenience obtains witt
/ the adopted and recorded extension OF the
! avenue"

PRESIDENT MAY RUN.
Mr.. CLEVELAND WILLING TO
ACCEPT DENOMINATION.
Control of the Convention by "Sound
Money" Men Is an Essential Feature
of HE Candidacy-Carlisie Declines
to Contest for the Nomination.
Presidential Gossip.

The Washington correspondent OF the
| Chicago Times Herald asserts that Presi-
| dent Cleveland will not decline renom-
| ination if ii be rendered to him by the
Democratic national convention Sec
retary Carlisle is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President. 1
am, ne says, able to state authoritatiyely
| what the attitude of the President is con-
cerning the nomination, and also to ex-
plain the meaning of the candidacy of Sec
retary Carlisle. Secretary Olney is not
and will not be a candidate for President,
and ex-Secretary Whitney is not and will
not be a candidate. The administration
program is as follows:
| /. To secure control of the convention
and adopt an anti-silver platform.
| =. TO nominate Secretary Carlisle il
| possible.
3. That failing, to nominate Mr.. Cleve-
land for fourth time.
The friends of Secretary Olney, of ex-
| Secretary Whitney, and of ex-Gov. Rus
| sell, of Massachusetts, who, under favor
able circumstances, might wish to work
for the selection of their favorits, all u8-
derstand that the President has arranged
his plans on the lines which I'have just
described, and this state Of affairs neces-
sarly precludes the pressing of any other
candidate from the wing of the party to
which the President belongs.
Within the last few weeks there has
been a good deal of newspaper talk about
Mr.. Carlsles candidacy. 1t has been said
that the President would write a letter
emphaticai;y declining again to permit his
| name to be used in connection with the
nomination, and in this letter he would
make Secretary Carlisle his political heir
and ask the Democratic party to give him
| Its support. 1t has also been said that
| there was some friction in the Cabinet
| between Secretary of State Olney and
| Secretary of theTreasury Carlisle as ito
| the political succession, and that the Pres
| ident had put Mr.. Olney to one side in
favor of Mr. Carlisle. These stories are
| devoid of truth.
| The President will not decline a renom-
ination if it is offered to him with substan-
tial unanimity. He does not propose to
enter into any scramble for the honor, or
to use any of the enormous Federal pat
ronage at his disposal to bring it about.
If, however, when the delegates meet al
Chicago it shall be the opinion Of a
majority of them that he is the strongest
candidate, and the platform is deciara-
tion in favor of sound money and the
principles of tariff reform to which the
Democratic party stands pledged, Mr..
Cleveland will not decline the honor.
! In the meantime the President will not
publicly proclaim his position, nor will
he write any letter either announcing him
self as a candidate or declining to allow
his name to go before the convention,
There will he no change in his position.
! He win simply permit matters to drift and
assume shape without active interference
| from him.
