metropolitan Company.

The Metropolitan Railroad COMPANY,
through it's attorney, Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson,
appeared before the House committee on
the District of Columbia today and made
definite proposition for the extension of
the company's tracks in the northern end
of the city. Mr.. Wilson stated that the
bill which he proposed to submit to the
committee represented. he thought, what
the people wished, what the company was
willing TO do and what ii is practicable to
accomplish Immediately.
Mr. NJ. A. Balinger representing the
Columbia Heights Citizens ASSOCIATE IN,
said he thought the bill prepared by Mr..
Wilson would be acceptable to the people
of Columbia Heights.
The new bill is as follows: THAT the
METROPOLITAN Railroad Company is hereby
authorized and required to extend, by
double track its underground electric rail-
read from its present terminus, at the IN
tersection of 18TH street and Columbia
road east along Columbia road to Cor to
Erie street and along Erie street to) 18th
street, thence north along 18th street to
Howard avenue, thence cast along Howard

thence south 18th street to Kenes;.w
avenue, thence east along keneSaw avenue
to New Jersey avenue, thence along New
Jersey avenue to 11th street, thence south
on 18th street to Florida avenue, thence
east along flOfIua avenue TO lutn street,
there to connect with the 9th street line of
the Metropolitan railroad.

prevail of this act, and the extension from

Mr.. Wilson stated to the committee that
| the company did not desire to use the over
| head trolley any portion of the extern
| sion. nor did it want to put in the under

AT THE NAVY YARD.
Visitors Will Positively BE Excluded
From the ShOus,

There were but few visitors at the yard
this morning, the unpromising weather
having the effect of keeping strangers
away. The town is full of them now.
The closing of the gun shops has also had
the effect of deterring persons from visit
ing the yard, as a trip through these is one
of the chief features OF interest down
there. The departure of the Nesuvius also
took away a great attraction from the
yard. More than 20G0o persons were at the
yard the first Sunday after her arrival and
hundreds focked there each day after
ward
1t is probable that the order preventing
the general public from entering the place
on Sunday will be revoked. This will De
the case unless a torpedo boat or other
sort of craft is there. 1t is not thought
best for such large crowds to assemble
there. under the present condition of af-
fairs, as has been the case in the past two
weeks. The rule restricting people from
visiting the shops will be strictly enforced.
1t is possible that the Holland the much
advertised submarine boat may shortly
come to Washington to give exhibition
o. what she can do in the diving line be-
fore Congress and naval officials here The
hope was expressed by a naval officer con-
Eected with the yard this morning that if
the plunger" does make a voyage to the
capital she will go to the 9TH street wharf
instead of the navy yard, as il would keep
the crowds away from the latter place. IL
was explained that the water off the yard
is hardly deep enough for the Holland to
give successful tests.
No official information has been received
in regard TO the prospective visit. but il is
thought she will come in a week or ten
days. IL is the general opinion that she
Will be a great acquisition for the govern
nIent If she can do all that she has re-
ported TO have done and all that is claimed
for her
A naval officer of high rank, in speaking
to Star reporter today concerning The re
ported movement of SPANS torpedo fiotilie
In going to the Cape de Verde Islands. in
stead of Porto Rico. said that Ii was the
proper course to take under the circurl-
stances. There is a coaling station at lae
Cape de Verde.
The same officer, in commenting on tho
situation. declared that he did not see how
war could be avoided. and that the only
way out of it was backdown or the part
of Spain.
The navy is not anxious for war he said
but If 1t comes things will be prepar ed The
Spanish are good sailors and fighters, he
acknowledged, but declared that IL the war
should be naval one the Dons could be
vanquished in a short while.

AGAINST INDEPENDENC
Why the President Arrived at That
COnclusicn in His Mcssnge.

II is said that the determination of the
President not to advise the recognition of
Cuban independence has been reached with
in few days. changing his views entirely
on the subject. Ii is further said that an
immense lobby of the holders of Cuban
bonds has been IN the city working to
secure independence because that action
would result in big appreciation of their
holdings.
All this has been put before the Pres
iGent. as wei! as the many other features.
L is said that h gave serious study to the
subject when the question was first broach-
cd of the enhance ment of the Cuban bonds.
lie came to the conclusion that such
thing might creote uEpiea saIt talk
Then the argument was made as to the
international feature OF recognition of in
dependence. This it is declared To-Day by
a cabinet official, was ably and brilliantly
made by Attorney General Griggs. who
takes the position that there is nothing in
international law warranting recognition
Of independence at this time. 1t is also
held that there is no record of any Presi-
dent having favored independence under
circumstances OF this kind.
There is no intention OF defrauding the
Insurgents of their Independence when il
IS found that they are entitled to il. The
President fully believes IN the cause of the
patriots Of the island but he is not in
favor OF acting for independence until he
knows more OF the facts.
II is also claimed that the business In
teTests in Cuba demand a government that
Is perfectly stable. The owners of suga;
plantations in Cuba have placed before ths
President the possibility thai after inter
yenti3n l. may be found that some other
form OF government than one by the insur.
gents may be deemed best

and Fell Slightly.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. April 5-Opening prices
this morning were irregular, but in the
main substantially under the closing parity
of yesterday. London cables reflected a
return to the uncertain stage and brought
some selling orders to this side. Washing
ton &dvices were less sanguine of peace.
and this infil ence was dominant during the
greater part of the day.
There Is a strong feeling under the sur
face that Castilian pride will succumb to
the inevitable prior to an actual declara-
ton of war by this government. For this
reason many long stocks were carried over
night in anticipation Of good news tomor-
low.
There have been 50 many theories evolved
for speculative purposes that the average
operator has no knowledge of what position
he should assume over the crisis.
The tendency of the best-informed in
terests still Is toward absolute inaction.
The uncertainties of an always uncertain
market have reached a point at which
guessing must be substituted for logical
reasoning. The extra hazard to investment
capital is easily computed il this fact is
reckoned at its full worth.
In several instances, notably in Sugar,
large supporting orders were in the market
in order to provide against the evils of a
too sudden break. Not withstanding this
pecaution the stock named declined 3 per
cent. Every point down found orders for
three or four thousand shares of stock,
not one share of which was desired eX-
cept as preventative of evil Had selling
been conducted on large scale a serious
break in Sugar would have resulted, and
the whole market have been forced into q
sympathetic decline.
The danger points were all carefully
guarded against such calamity and
when concessions did occur, they were the
result of orderly and pacific transactions
The market was in waiting mood through
out the day, waiting with a consciousness
OF grave events but one short step ahead
preparation has been made for the worst
and whatever may come will find the mar
ket in the hands of friends.
This guarantee does not preclude a bad
break due to sudden scare. but a demand
at the decline should be assured.
The last hour was given Urer to the even-
opments. The immediate future of the
market hinges on the Presidents message
and its treatment by Congress. There is
Still the facing hope that Spain may dis
pense with the necessity of the message by
yielding all.
The hope is all that stands between the
present level of prices and a sharp decline
While recognizing these facts the relief
from the tension of the last few DAYS will
be worth whatever fluctuations it may tenn
porarily cause.
