PROBABLE CONSOLIDATION.
metropolitan ROnd Mny Absorb the
Capital Railway Company.

Several of the larger stockholders of the
Metropolitan Railway are considering the
advisability of acquiring the Capital Rail
way. There has been much speculation
recently as to the probability of the Cap
ital Traction Company or the Suburban
Railway acquiring this road and its con-
nection with Anacostia and the wide ter
Iitory east OF the Eastern Branch. 1t
may be announced on the best authority
that a much more probable deal will be
between the Metropolitan ana Capital
Railways The plan has been under con-
slderation for some time and it is an
nounced that 1t may culminate at any
time in some arrangement either for ac-
tual consolidation OF for a working agree
ment for the mutual benefit of the two
roads.
1t is learned that when the bill first
passed giving the Capital Railway its
franchise DIR. Cooling. the superintendent
of St Elizabeth's. wrote an urgent lei
ter to Mr.. Samuel L. Phillips. who was
asking him to extend the Metropolitan 10
Congress Heights over this line. which
then had the right to build on Eleventh
Street to Lincoln Park. The matter was
ta'sen under serious advisement, but ow-
ing to the business depression at the time
vas not taken up. Later the Capital Rail-
way lost its charter right to build the ex-
tension.

Mr.. Longstreet's Report of the Land
Grant Railroads.

The figures and deductions of Gen.
James Longstreet, commissioner of rail-
roads, in his annual report have attract
ed some comment among railroad meh
and Wall Street people.
Gen. Longstreet is OF the opinion that
the physical condition of the railroad is
better than ever before. In this opinion
ne is upheld by statistics on the subject.
The roads have been spending large sums
of money in improvements and charging
them to operating expenses. most con-
servative method of bookkeeping that can
not but commend itself 10 outsiders even
if stockholders at times inclined to
grumble.
The report gives the well-known figures
regarding the number Of roads formerly
in the hands of receivers now paying divi-
dends on their preferred stocks and pIling
up surplus to be divided ultimately among
the common stockholders Gen Long
street is OF the opinion that the number
of roads in the hands of receivers will
soon be no greater than prior To 1895.

1t would cover as much, IL not more, ter
ritory of the Anacostia as the Anacostia
now runs over the Metropolitan. The An
acostia would in such an event have free
to Itself only the section around Garfield
Park. between the Metropolitan and the
Capital Railway franchises. IL is urged
that If this step is taken by the Metro
politan Mr.. Crosby's syndicate would
never find it profitable to install an un-
derground system in this section.
President RandIe, of the Capital Rail-
way. was seen by a reporter for The
Times today with reference to the many
plans advanced by different newspapers
relative to the purchase of, his road by
the three railways Interested He refus-
ed to say exactly what, if any, negotia-
tions are in progress.
The Capital Railway is not for SALE"
he said. but | am satisfied that a con-
solidation will be made with another road
which will give the people of Anacostia,
and Congress Heights through transpor-
tation with one fare without change of
cars. This is the object which l had in
view when took up the Capital Railway
enterprise. When this is done | shall
have accomplished my purpose.

the Capital Railway, to give up the man
asement of the road. He Immediately
went to Congress to have the Eleventh
Street right re-established.. He succeeded
III securing the right to install the Met
ropolitan underground system on E,lev-
enth Street to Lincoln Park over the
same route which he had formerly ac-
quired and lost This right is now in
force.
1t is pointed out by the stockholde ers
of the Metropolitan who favor the ac-
QUESTION of the additional line that all
the arguments made in Mr. o. G.. Staples
recent letter to the stockholders of the
Capital Traction apply with equal if not
greater force to the Metropolitan With
a through line down Eleventh Street to
Anacostia and Congress Heights the
Metropolitan would not only secure all of
the Anacostia business, which it is be-
lieved will grow immensely in the next
few years, but it would also be in u DO
sition TO bid against the Capital Trac-
ton for a large share of the business Of
Inc southeastern part of the city. 1t is
believed that the income from the extern
sion would pay for the expenses incurred
in a very few years. and that no eXpense
10 the stockholders would BE- nee ssary.
According to the charter of the Metro
politan. it would not be possible to bug
out the Capital Railway outright with
out special legislation, but it is suggest
ed that there might be an actual working
consolidation on similar lines TO the ar
rangement now III force with the Column
bia Railway. II is thought that this will
be-the outcome before many months are
past.
Another phase of such A consolidation
is the effect that 1t would have on the
business of the Anacostia Railway. The
Eleventh Street line extended would run
over a long stretch of the Anacostia road
