LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The statement attributed to Mr.. Gould
that 1t is his purpose after the terminal
arrangements for the Wabash system in
Baltimore are completed, to probably turn
his attention to securing an entrance into
this city has naturally aroused local inter
est. According to the utterances attrib
uted to Mr.. Could access to the capital is
to be had through some connection at Cum
berland, Nd. The particulars to what
such connection is to be are. of course,
matters of considerable Importance. 1t.
Of course, goes without saying that MIR.
Gould does not contemplate reaching this
city through any traffic arrangement with
the rival system Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company new line Is
then the only alternative. and such a road
may be built either on the north or south
side of the Potomac, through Maryland or
Virginia.
The difficult part of the problem no doubt
is to secure legislative permission from
either of the states named. especially in
view Of the powerful railroad interests that
would naturally be arrayed against grant
ing such privilege to competing system
in a territory already occupied by its rivals
in the railroad business. 1t is the thought.
however. that owing to the advantages
which the people of Baltimore. and also OF
the entire state, recognize in another ex-
tensive railroad system, is planned.
making Baltimore the eastern seaboard
terminus, the dlIluUe Oh the maryland
legislature would likely to be one of friend
ly cooperation in furthering any reason
able project which the Wabash people
might favor.
AS far as legislation is concerned, 1t Is
believed that the chances of the Wabash
for favorable action would be quite as good
in Maryland as in Virginia. There may be
other considerations. and no doubt there
are. which would influence the selection
of the one or the other side of the Potomac.
but these are believed to be what may be
termed mainly technical. 1t seems. how
ever, to the lay mind that route which
would bring the proposed line to this dis
trict on the north side of the Potomac
would render a direct connection with the
new union depot more feasible. In COM
parison with bringing Its cars directly
into the station here. a terminal on the
south side of the Potomac. either at the
Aqueduct bridge or below. would seem to
be Of small value.
It would, of course. be possible, as has
been suggested. that the franchise secured
by the Old Dominion Company to build
railroad from the Great Falls along The

SECRETARY SHAW RETURNS.
Disinclined to Discuss Prospective
Financial Legislation.

Secretary Shaw was at his desk at the
treasury today. having returned from a
visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
and to New York, where he conferred with
government officials. Secretary Shaw was
not inclined to discuss prospective financial
legislation at the extra regular session
of Congress. Senator Lodges statement at
Oyster Bay yesterday that President Roose-
velt favored the enactment of proper flnan-
cial legislation this fall and winter is re-
garded as directly from the President, but
Secretary Shaw saw no reason to make a
statement himself along the same lines It
is regarded as probable that there will be no
opposition to financial legislation on the
part OF Speaker-to-be Cannon or any other
prominent republican II the President really
desires to see suitable legislation placed
upon the statute books.

THE MILITARY WITHDRAWN.
Deputy Marshal Has Been Placed in
Charge of RoSslyn.

The military guard at Rosslyn, Va. has
been withdrawn. and now a deputy United
States marshal maintains order on the
government reservation. The people living
in the vicinity of Rosslyn and those whose
business requires them to pass through the
place regretted exceedingly the departure
of the military. Better order was main
tained by the soldiers than by any civil
authority that has heretofore held juris-
diction OF this place. and the portion con-
troled for the time being by the SOL
diers was one of the most peaceful com

probably have no difficulty in maintaining
the place IN the orderly manner that re-
suited from its occupancy by the military.
