INTO AND THROUGH THE CITY.
Cars From Suburban Line to Pass Over
Main Tracks.

1t is expected by the Washington Trac-
ton Company that cars will be run next
week on the Brightwood section all the way
into the city and through the city. 1t Is
the purpose that cars will cross Florida
avenue from the 9TH street road and will
come down 9th street, and then to the ex-
IRENE southern end Of the line at the river
front. At the same time 1t is expected the
cars on the Tenleytown section will run by
way of the Metropolitan road down into
the city and to the eastern end at East
Capitol and 18th streets. This will be an
other stage In completing the details in he
operation Of this system. which will result
in cars from the extreme points in Mary
land and the District being run directly
through the center of the city.
All the cars will be through cars when
the system is in full operation, with, Of
course. such sectional cars may be
needed to provide for heavier travel in
certain localities at certain times. The
principal ones. however, will be through
cars running from one end of the system
to the other that it will be possible to
go from one extreme point to the other
without change Of cars.

THE coLwELL COURT OF INQUIRY.
No Reason Disclosed Why He Could
Not Have Obeyed Orders.

The Secretary of the Navy has approved
the findings Of the court of inquiry in the
case Of Lieutenant Commander John c.
Colwell, and there will be no further action
in the case. The court found as follows:
THAT Lieutenant Commander ]. c. Col

lieved on April 1, 1900. early as October.

Department on or about January 20, 1900.

ION or about March %, 1900, he wrote a
letter to the Navy Department announcing
his purpose of sailing on April IA for the
United States. April g 1900. he was re-
lieved of his duties by Commander Clover
L. S. n. He made an application April =
for sick leave, based upon letters from his
attending physician. which letters advised
rest and treatment before assuming new
duties, and stated that 1t was immaterial
whether he be treated in New York or
London. They did not advise delay in his
return to the United States. He was in

He received a telegram from the Navy De-
partment on April 10, 1900 declining tc
grant his application for sick leave.
I'm view of the above facts, which the
court deems established by the evidence ad,
duced, it is of the opinion that there was
no valid reason to prevent Lieutenant Com.
mander Colwell from taking the steamer
of April Z, 1900 and returning to the United
States in obedience to his orders. The
probable effect, under the circumstances
of journey to the United States at this
time, it is believed, would have been bene.
fetal, and that he would have had oppor
tUnities for efficient treatment on his ar
rival comparable with the treatment he re-
ceived in England. We find. Furthermore
that subsequently, viz, April IL, Lieutenant
Commander Colwell was Frustrated by
some nervous debility that prevented hi:
taking the steamer Of April IA. and. while
awaiting his recovery, that he entered
hospital and was operated on for some
nasal affection. 1t does not appear thai
this operative procedure. which Is stated
to have been Of very minor character pro
longed his delay in obeying his orders, OF
that the performance of this operation a.
this time was Imperative"
