1t was also ordered that $50 feet of
twelve-inch sewer and four manholes be
constructed in Bates street between North
Capitol ami First streets northwest under
the permit system, the estimate cost of
which is 81 ,175.
A short sewer was provided for between
S street and Oregon avenue, to cost ST2.SO.
1t was ordered that cement sidewalk be
laid in front of No. 525 Thirteenth street
northwest, under the provisions of the
permit system.
The point has been made by Mr.. George
c. Shaw of the Geological Survey, that the
Capital Traction Company violated the law
/ in requiring of passenger an extra fare
, upon changing from one car to another on
the Chevy Chase branch of its line, and the
| Commissioners indorse the view.
Mr.. Shaw was informed today that the
payment of one fare entities a passenger
to a continuous ride over the cOmpany's
lines within the District. but that the case
is one which should be settled between the
complainant and the company. the Commits
sioncrs having no Jurisdiction.
The citizens who not long since protested
against the open sewer in Flagler place and
its noisome breath, have been Informed
through Mr.. 7. R. Senior of No. 2O3 Elm
streetnorth west. .thatth Commissioners are
powerless at present to abate the nuisance.
The board is fully aware, the secretary
says, of the bad effects of the open
drain, and have for several years sGe-
cessive!y made application to Congress
for funds to build sewer in that locality
but no sufficient appropriation has been
secured, and it has, therefore, been i'm
possible TO do the work.
What the citizens want now to know is
who will be responsible in case their sec
ton is devastated by fever. 1t would
! cost less, they say, to build the sewer
than 1t may to stop an epidemic, should
one result from 1.-The bad effects OF the
open draip."

FREIGHT CARS OF STEEL.
Now Being Made and Possess Many
Advantages.

Advantages.
Although the Carnegie Steel Company
is not in the railroad building business,
it has constructed two steel cars for the
purpose of demonstrating their advaDt,
ages. These have been on exhibition
at the railroad mems Convention at Sara
toga. The hopper cars have been recently
designed, while the gopdola cars have been
i'll service for year.
The gondolas are of the double hopper
type, and have Fox pressed steel trucks.
They have the Westinghouse friction
buffer, JanDey couplers, and Westinghouse
air brakes. The axles are made of nickel
steel, which is so tough that car will run
with safety, even after the appearance
of a we'll developed crack in the Journal.
The hoppers have the Potter apparatus for
opening and closing.
The weight of each car is 80 $50
pounds, with capacity Of 100000
pounds. The sides are 3-16 inch thick.
These cars have been loaded with 1885,
600 pounds each, which they carried in
a satisfactory manner. No special effort
was made to reduce the size of parts to
the lowest limit, and the designers say
that they can easily reduce the weight
to about SO 900 pounds, while still re-
tanning capacity of 100 COO pounds, with
suitable factor of safety.
This would make the dead weight only
one-third that of the paying load, and
the company states in its circular that
on this basis steel cars can be constructed
at a cost per ton of carrying capacity
not exceeding that OF wooden cars.
The platform cars, two of which have
been constructed. have plank floors 1'1-2
inches thick, and their capacity is $4,000
pounds each. No. 1902 weighs 6,22C
pounds and No, 1907 weighs 25,150
pounds.
The manufacturers present the usual
arg ments of lightness, durability, and

Urged TO Make "A Deal.

Ashland. Wis. June 2S.-W. IT. (Coin)
Harvey, in an interview here. said; MY
plan is TO combine the silver forces OF
the United States. am trying 10 COM
bine the democrats. silver republicans and
populists, and have suggested the follow
ing plan to the leaders Of the party;
For President on the democratic tick
ct. Silver Dick Bland Of Missouri II
elected give him the appointment Of one
cabinet officer only, Secretary Of State.
Let the democrats endorse the populst
nominee for Vice President on the populist
ticket, Senator Marion Butler of North
Carolina. Let the populists endorse the
democratic nominee for President. Let
Mr.. Butler, IL elected, dictate the appoint
ment Of the Secretary of the Interior,
Secretary of Agriculture. Secretary of
War and Secretary Of the Navy. Concede
to the silver republicans three cabinet po-
sitions-Senator Teller OF Colorado, Secre-
tary OF the Treasury; Judge Caldwell of
the United States circuit court. Attor-
ney General, and Mayor Pengree of De-
troit, Postmaster General
The silver cause Is desperate and we
cannot beat Mckinley without We combine
as have indicated. / have suggested the
plan to Gov. Altgeld, Representative
Bland and other leaders, but it has not
been made public yet. And tell the dem
ocrats not TO make their platform too
democratic. They cannot win as demo-
Gratis, but rs combined democracy, pop
ulists and silver republicans / am in
favor Of Bland for president because his
name is a platform in itself, just as Nc
kinley's name is whole platform.
The intention of our forefathers in es-
tablishing our electoral system was that
the electors should be elected as they are
now and that they should then meet, and
after discussion vote for who they wished.
There is no law compelling an elector to
vote for any man. 1t is simply custom
for republican electors to vote for the man
at the head Of the ticket
and the democrats do the
same. Now I want to tell you that
If the democrats, populists and free sill
yer republicans do not get together as /
have indicated they will ultimately COM
bine in the electoral college. For instance,
If straight democratic electors are elected
in the south, silver republican electors in
Colorado and Nevada and populist cleo
tors in North Carolina and Kansas, these
electors win unite when they meet next
winter and vote solidly for such men as
Bland and Butler.
'The plan / suggest dividing the cabinet
Offices among the parties and the distri-
button of cabinet officers will take care
of those states. Pingree can carry Mich
igan, Teller half a dozen western states
and Caldwell can carry Iowa and the
southwest. There are ten thousand repub-
licans in Iowa who want to vote for Cald-
well. There are eight cabinet positions
and their distribution in this way before
hand would carry eight doubtful states
