Poor Car Arrangements.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
When the consolidation of the various
electric railroads took place under a gen.
eral and systematic management It was
promised and expected that no trouble
would In future be experienced in handling
a crowd on any special occasion and at any
one locality; that cars could be massed
from the various tracks to the congested
locality, as arranged by the switching
tracks from one line to the other, and
which had been hitherto impossible under
dls1olnted management and ownership
All this has been a fond hope and delusion.
That 1t should take two hours to clear nm
the crowd attending the unwilling at Fort
Stevens. from the junction of the lines at
Florida avenue, July II, between 2 and 4
o clock p. M, is a sumner. The last of the
crowd got away one-half hour after the
ceremonies had already commenced. and
the band had to go up the track and cap
ture return car.
Fifty,two cars came in from the 9th
street line, and at most twenty cars left
the junction. The majority of these out
ward cars were jamiIed TO the tenders and
footboards. Many gave up the trip ra ther
than endure such ride and, what struck
looker-on as remarkable, the "crowdn
began TO return on the twentieth car as
the prospect of such jam and two hours,
possible waiting for return made q de-
cislve suggestion to their common sense
and good judgment.

the use of the public hay scales for the en-
suing fiscal year. states that the price OBJ
tained at the auction is very unsatisfactory,

showing decrease of s735 this year."
Mr.. Haskell makes the request that the
law controlling the sale of the hay scales
privileges be so amended that the Commits
sioners of the District manage the scales
thus securing a fair rental for them. He
points out that now the government Is
obliged to let the privileges to the highest
bidder. even If his bid be ridiculously low
He says every legitimate means was re-
sorted to this year to bring the bids up to a
reasonable figure, without success.
The scales are located at Anacostia,
Brightwood Tenleytown. Georgetown mar
ket, 18th street and Virginia avenue south
east. 18th and streets northwest and 7th
street and Florida avenue northwest. Those
at 18th and B streets northwest brought

the conduct of the crowds which frequent
the wharf mentioned, either by the ap-
pointment of special officers to preserve
order or by the restriction OF the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, the wharf privileges
Will be revoked.
Reports from the police department state
that there has been a great deal of disorder
at this wharf upon the return of the ex-
cursionists from the river resorts. There

Survivors Of Quartermaster's Guard!
Who Served at Fort Stevens.

A movement has been started to organize
in this city the survivors of the LIST and I'd
regiments Of employees of the quarter
master generals department., who were
armed and uniformed and performed mill
tary service in the defense of Washington
during the civil war. There were five regi-
ments Of these men, the list and I'd COM
posed Of white employees and the other
three Of colored men.
At the time of Earlys raid and the fight
at Fort Stevens these regiments manned
Fort Slocum, near Fort Stevens, and some
OF them constructed the rife pits in front
of the latter defense
The survivors claim they were regularly
sworn into the service of the United States,
took the oath of allegiance and performed
active military duty, but never received
discharges such as soldiers were entitled
to. 1t is principally to secure such bona
fide discharges that they propose to form
the survivors association.
