The Electric Railway.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
On behalf of the commuters associa-
ton. permit me to call attention to the
statement in a communicated" article
in your issue of last evening, to the ef-
feet that "the association has given rise
to certain statements. The integrity OF
the railroad has been seriously compro-
missed in the statements made in the
newspapers, that they were responsible
for the impression that it was contrary
to law to run three cars tn rough Wash
ington."
If your correspondent will refer to the
issue of the Gazette of March IA, he
will find an article in which your re-
porter says that the railway company
does not run the third car farther than
Arlington Junction, because, "it il
claimed" that they are prohibited from
running trains of three cars within TIT
District of Columbia.
The Gazette, then, and not the as
ISOLATION is responsible for disseminating
the idea that such acclaim has been made
and the public naturally takes it 70
granted that so conservative a pape
would not make totally unauthorize,
statement. Our association does not see
to impose unreasonable obligations upO
the railroad and We have requested tn
president of the company to meet III
.. with view to mutual understandin
of the real conditions but have receive
no reply. =,
As your correspondent evidentl
travels less than four times annually o
these trains otherwise it would be to b

the discomforts which have caused II
commuters to organize for the purpose

Arrival of Italian Barkentine.

The Italian barkentine' Antonio " All,
laden with salt from Cadiz, Spain, for
Charles King & Son, of this city, arrived
here about half-past six clock yester-
J1v evening. She will begin the dis
charging of her cargo at once. The salt
will be used in the curing of shad and
herring on the Potomac during the fish
ing season about to commence. The
Dali sailed from Cadiz February 8, and
passed in the capes Saturday. This is
the first importation of any character
from Europe in vessel direct to Alex
andria in many years. 1t is but the be-
Ginning. as the Alexandria merchants
are arranging for other importatlons
direct TO their wharves. DR.. Arthur
Snowden, marine hospital surgeon,
boarded the vessel this morning and is
sued a clean bill of health.
There are now two foreign vessels at
the port of Alexandria, the Elise Nor
wegian), from Uruguay, having arrived
about week ago. Some newspapers
published in neighboring cities are dis
posed to be facetious over the tact that
vessels flying foreign flags are at the
mort of Alexandria, and, from some OF
their fings, they would make 1t appear
that such visitors are as scarce as mer-
maids or sea serpents. Oneof the papers
referred to says it woald tax the historian
to definitely show when foreign vessel
cast anchor in front of Alexandria.
While it is a patent fact that the foreign
commerce of this port has waned during
the past quarter of a century, Ale1an-
dria's commercial Importance has ma
terially increased in other fields, and
much of the wholesale trade OF some
neighboring cities has been diverted to
Alexandria, while articles manufactured
here are sent to all points Of the compass
Proprietary medicines formulated here
are sent from Maine to Oregon, as vel
as over the southern country, while ar.
ticles manufactured in this city are sold
in stores of the largest cities of the coun
try. The Norwegian and Italian vessels
now at this port are, it is believed, al
earnest of others that will arrive herr
before long, and the newspapers OF othel
cities may chronicle the names OF Others
in the near future. Apropos of thu
above it may be stated that the mer
chants of Boston recently held meeting
to take action concerning the waning o
the commerce of that port, and those o
other places north of the Potomac VII
probably be compelled to do the sam
thing. Some of their shipping may b
diverted to Alexandria during the mex
decade.
