would effect a more complete lowering of
the tracks without involving the danger of
overflow at high water. Indeed. the Com
missioners' report effectually disposes Of
the claim made by the railroad company
that any more complete depression than
that proposed by the bill would involve the
danger of flooded tracks. The most i'm
portant feature of the report Is the en-
phatic statement of the Commissioners,
made on the basis of a careful and thor
ough survey of the territory in question,
that the topography of South Washington
is such as to render unwise. and certainly
unsatisfactory to the people. the adoption
of any terminal system involving the de-
preston of the tracks to any degree. Nat
urally. this leads to the conclusion that the
best available scheme of trackage is an ele-
waited system, and the Commissioners out
line three plans on that basis. That which
they recommend as best is entirely unob-
jectionable to the citizens and if the rail-
road companies involved could be brought
to see the matter in the light of their per-
manent interests it would also be regarded
by them, too as the wisest plan. 1t will
probably be stubbornly resisted, but from
a purely selfish point of view. The logic
of the situation and the argument of the
Commissioners contained in this report
should appeal powerfully to senators and
representatives when, in the fuliness of
time. they may see fit to approach this
question with the view of ending it.

n Nalua bic Report.

IL Is too late in the session to expect
that this Congress will accomplish any
thing in the way OF legislation putting an
end TO the use of the streets at grade by
the railroad con panies now entering this
city. and the report submitted today by
the District Commissioners TO the Senate
District committee on the South WASH
hgton grade crossing problem will prob
ably not be considered at this time with
the view of producing immediate results.
1t is. however. a valuable contribution to
the literature OF this everlasting subject
and gives evidence of an exhaustive sur
vey of the problem of finding the best
method OF abolishing the grade crossings in
the southern section of the CITY, Five dis
tinct plans are considered by the Commits
sioners. beginning with that proposed by the
railroad company and embodied in the bill
the consideration of which gives rise TO
this report According to the facts and
figures presented this plan of the railroad
company cannot be accepted without great
injury to public and individual interests
and without heavy cost to the District. 1t
seems on this showing to be unsatisfactory
from every point of view but that of the
railroad company involving as IL does.
only slight depression of the tracks, with
consequent abrupt changes in the grade
of city streets and the absolute closing of
'twenty-tbree thoroughfares. This Is un-
doubtediy too heavy a price to pay for the
partial solution of the grade crossing prob
lem afforded by the use by the road of a
shallow trench to enter the city The
commissioners propose as a first alterna-
tive scheme that. while costing the
district a trifie more in the way of dam

The Proposed New Department.

The report comes from several sources
that prominent business men when calling
on Mr.. Mckinley improve the occasion to
advocate tie establishment of a new de-
partment, to be called the Department If
Commerce and Industry. 1t is likewise
| stated that Mr. Mckinley lends favor to
the suggestion, and the opinion is expressed
that the matter will take practical form at
an early day.
There is a great deal to be said in support
of this proposition. Despite recent paraly-
sis and emblrrassments, the commerce of
the country has grown to enormous pro-
portions, and is safely in line for far greater
things. 1t is easily entitled to considera-
tion on its own account ard to have its
interests carefully locked after There IS a
Department of War; ard It has great uses,
despite the fact that standing army of
any size is repugnant to the wishes of the
People and to the genius of the government
and Is never maintained. But the interests
OF the army, small as they appear to be in
times of peace, are of the highest impor-
tance and could not be neglected or SUBJ
ordinated without grave consequences to
the country

The Illegal Overhead Wires,

In view of Judge Cox's decision yesterday
In the electric wire case, the Commissioners
must use more care in picking out the next
objects of their attack in their effort to
clear the atmosphere of Illegal conductors
