Rapid Transit on Aque,luct Bridge.

The completion of the new union pas
senger station in Georgetown brings to the
front once more the question of how best
to secure rapid transit between the Dis
trict side Of the river and the Virginia
shore. This Is an important matter, mas
much as 1t II wolves certain considerations
affecting the repair or reconstruction OF
the Aqueduct bridge and the item OF COM
pensatien of the District the govern
ment by the traction companies that may
use that structure. The union station was
desigIed as part of the general traffic plan
for the western end of Georgetown, which
included the construction of one or more
street railways to connect the two shores
and to brig into easy reach the beautiful
home sites in Virginia and the places of
public interest on that side of the river.
Whenever the matter has come to the front.
however. 1t has been pointed out that it
would be unsafe for any heavy traffic to
be permitted the bridge before it had
been substa ntially repaired. the weak piers
almost rebuilt and additional width ad-
| ded to the roadway for the accommodation
of the car lines. The bridge in its presen,
condition srffices for all Ordinary traffic
l and 1t is plain equity that whatever ex-
! penses are incurred to permit the use OF
1 the bridge by cars should be borne by the
companies securing this valuable privilege
| The question comes. therefore. to the poin,
| of determining just what form and proper
| tions this compensation should take. Il
| has been proposed that the railroad com
| panies pay all the cost of repair and agar
that the District and the government pa,
the cost ard secure reimbursement from
| tax upon the companies. based perhaps
| upon the volume of their business. Sucl
car lines needed by the steadily de
| veloping population and would lead to
much more rapid growth. They would aid
too. in eradicating the evil nests that hav
| grown like fungi around the south end o
the bridge. In return for such a service tn
community would probably be willing L
permit the practically free Use of the bridg
provided the traction companies put 1t il
| condition for such a purpose.

a rro-spani-h stntemcnt From cu.a.

The latest letter from MIR. Pepper. The
Stars special correspondent in Cuba. gives
an unprejudiced statement of the views of
a pro-Spanish sugar planter. Naturally, his
sentiment is adverse to the insurgent cause
ard Mr.. Pepper. in giving free play to the
friend of Spain. presents the best argument
of that side. 1t Is to be noted that no at
tempt Is made in this letter to analyze the
propositions of the planter, or to indicate
the flaws in his reasoning. They stand for
themselves, and may furnish a text for
further interesting commentaries from this
same exc client source Of information. The
letter indicates clearly that Mr.. Calhoun is
striving to get full information from all
sides upon the Cuban situation.

In the second game Hawley was put
in to pitch and Jennings, the third
man up, was given first on what Sheri-
dan called an illegal delivery. This
set the crowd wild and in a few min
utes a shower of ill-smelling eggs fell

the game until Captain Donovan could

recent efforts at Fairmont and else
where have proven failures, the men
declining to strike or to remain out.
It looks now as if West Virginia

and ship her coal to all the old and
new markets that open up to her. The
suducement Of steady work night and

Wrong TO be resisted by the men.
This attitude of the West Virginia
miners will jeopardize the strike every
