Plans on Which MIR. MeMillan's
Bill is Based.
TILE DEPRESSION OF THE TRACKS
How the Commissioners Modified
the Company's Plans.
TIL E Nc BR D q Z

The bill introduced in the Senate last
week by Senator Mcmillan to abolish grade
crossings on the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks in this city, was a modification Of
proposition submitted by the railroad COM
pany in 1892. Senator McMillan's bill was
based on the recommendations of the Com
missioners made at that time a partial
substitute for the railroad company's plans.
The main differences between the railroad
plans and these approved finally by the
District Commissioners were that the Com
misSioners proposed TO carry the plan of
depressing the tracks into Southeast Wash
irgton. and proposed the construction of
rev bridge in the place of the Long bridge.
The original plan of the railroad people
provided for a depression of the tracks
from the New Jersey avenue yard west
ward along Virginia and Maryland avenues
to the Long bridge. The District engineers.
however, on revising the plan proposed
that the same general principle of depress-
ing the tracks be applied east of South
Capitol street and New Jersey avenue, so
as to 10 away with grade crossings In
Southeast Washington as we'll as in South
west Washington
The streets. according to the railroad
0ompany's plans, were to be carried across
The tracks on steel bridges, and on account
OF the partial depression of the tracks the
grade of each street would have been
changed. This would have been accom-

age to property Inasmuch as the District
would have been called upon to bear the
expense incurred by the damages effort was
made TO find plan obviating the change
of grade of the streets.
Conditions Limiting the Projected
Work.
In seeking this end the District engineers
found themselves limited by the following
conditions: 1t would not be advisable to
decrease the elevation at either of the
terminal points of the section to be i'm
proved, viz, the bridge over the outlet at
the foot of f4th street southwest or the
tunnel entrance on X street. 1t would be
impossible to lower the tracks at South
Capitol street, where the arch of the Tiber
sewer IS only two and one-half feet below
The present level of the rails AS all the
sewers are tidal sewers. subject to the
alterations of the water level in the river

OF the tracks so low that they would h,

the public and the railroad, and that they
shall keep the same in perfect repair. With
reference to the use of the mall, PR posed
py thls Diil, the Commissioners would refer
to the report made by the officer in charge
or public buildings and grounds. They
think that hsf1s more capable of reporting
on this matter than they are, as he is in
,all nr.nealdte charse OF reservations. But the
proposed using of the Mall resulting in the
opening of 9th street, would furnish aroth-
er thoroughfare to South Washington,

and small freshets. The maximum rise of
the river due to these causes is four feet
on the city gauge, determined by a
series of observations since 1874. This level
was only passed by the freshets of 1877,
1881 and 1883, all of short duration. With
the proposed clearance Of 1I1s feet and al
lowing three feet for depth of roadway,
the difference of elevation between the
surface OF the bridges and rails must be

Changes Made by the Commissioners.

termined upon as most suitable therefor
by the Commissioners
The C0mmissioners' Views.
The Commissioners, however, objected to
that plan, and wrote to the Senate District
committee as follows:
With respect to the Long bridge, the
Commissioners are of the opinion that the
railroad company should be required to re-
build the bridge in accordance with such
plans as shall be approved by the chief of
engineers, U. s. A.. to accommodate both

ject three feet above the level of the ground
All tracks are to be removed from 9th
street, and the railroad company granted

The Cost.
1t Is provided in the present bill that the
cost of the entire work, so far as the depres-
sion of its road, construction of abutments

from the change of the grades of the streets

of Columbia.
The Long Bridge.
Another important modification of the
railroad company's plans is in regard to the
Long bridge. The original plan for this
improvement, as proposed by the railroad
officials. was as follows:

students TurbuIent All Day.

LONDON, March "A Madrid dispatch TO
the Standard says: THE students OF the uni
versity showed a turbulent disposition all
day. notably when they learned that police
precautions had been taken. The energetic
Intervention of the rector and of the profess
sors paciied them. The students OF Va
lencia, Barcelona and Granada displayed
similar agitation, which was everywhere
suppressed. Many arrests were also made OF
street disturbers. Unfortunately, the Repub-
licans everywhere are trying to make capital
out Of the popular agitation, which has in
creased on the news of the release of the
Bermuda filibusters. The press is changing
its attitude Of Cancellation, and the Liberal
papers advocate an understanding with the
European powers to protect their common
colonial interests against the United States.
The authorities continue TO take extraordi-
nary precautions around the American lesa-
ton. The Governors of several Of the prov
inces, replying to orders TO suppress demon
strations, have telegrsphed to the govern
ment that in face OF the excitement among
all classes, il is inadvisable TO stop them.
The fall OF the bourSe was especially heavy
in Bank OF Spain shares and Cuban bonds.''
The standard also has a dispatch from
Paris which says: 1T is the general belief
here that the resolutions of the Senate will
lead to no practical result, save that OF in
vision of the United States Constitution
which makes the President, and not Con-
gress, the arbiter of peace or war. Diplo-
mats remark that hot wave has been
passing over Washington, to the disturbance
OF the belief in peace and with marked
derogation from the reputation of United
States craftsmanship for calm dignity and
shrewdneSS. The view of the European
chancelories is that the United States gov
ernment has no more right to interfere be-
tween the Spanish authorities and the in
surgents than they would have to interfere
in an insurrection in Jamaica by England
or of an uprising on Cayenne and Mar
Unique by France"
The Pail Mall Gazette has a dispatch
from Madrid which says: Although Spain
recognizes the absolute independence of the
American Senators without admitting the
possibility of intervention, the Premier i'm
tends to point out to the American govern
ment the injustice of some of the language
| of the Senators. He also proposes to point
| out the ridiculous Misrepresentation OF the
Cuban rebels. whose savage acts, ii is
| Claimed, merit the condemnation of civil
| lied nations. For them to be considered on
| an equal footing with the Spanish troops
| and TO grant such men belligerent rights
| is considered in some quarters TO be simply
| a pretext for quarrel with Spain. The
government in any case is preparing for all
| eventualities. The patriotism OF the nation
| has been completely aroused and the au-
thorities and press counsel prudence. At
| the same time there Is determination to
| vindicate the nations honor"
