MAY CLOSE FREIGHT YARDS.
Elaborate system of Transfer south
of Potomac in Jeopardy.

Traffic managers and other officials Of
the railroads centeTing IN Washington
and others Of the Southern Classification
Territory have been in secret session in
Washington for the past two days. This
is the time for taking up the big prob
lens connected with the question Of
freight rates and other matters pertain
ing to transportation over the great trunk
line railroads.
What goes on at these meetings is not
revealed except TO trusted employees of
the different railroad systems. but rumors
were current yesterday TO the effect that
the Southern railroads. in conjunction
with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
presented strong arguments at the meet
ing for the temporary abandonment Of
the transfer OF freight by the elaborate
system inaugurated al the Potomac yards
in Alexandria County. south OF the Po-
tomac River, about a year ago. 1t is
said the abandonment of the transfer sys-

yards in Alexandria, and other systems
to various eXpedients that will for the
time being do away with the cost Of
transferring freight through the Potomac
yards.
II was stated yesterday by persons who
professed 10 have information on the
subject that the elaborate system Of audit
and transfer at the Potomac yards had
proved more expensive than expected,
and that its abandonment. until better
financial times. would effect a much need
ed saving in the expense OF operating
the Southern lines.
The effect Of the abandonment Of these
yards would be a serious setback to
freight shipments out Of Washington.
Wholesale merchants and shippers Of
Washington for a year have had the
benefit of almost a perfect system of
shipment and to go back 10 the crude
and provoking methods Of the past would
be d serious interference with the whole
sale trade of this city.
il was principally upon this issue that
the Jobbers and Shippers Association Of
Washington made its record before con-

citation and the forming of the Cham
Der of Commerce. To go back now TO The
old order Of things would render obsolete

Mr. Magoon said lie came on Cuban bust

that he might become governor of the

The reports had reached him only
through the press, he said. He had re-

amendment to the address in reply to the
Kings speech, regretting that in view of
the lack of employment in the country.
the government had not recommended
legislation on the subject.
The Irish members, most of the Union
lists, and few Radicals joined the So
cialists and Laborites, with the result
that the amendment was defeated by
vote of 195 to 1f6. The Socialists and
Laborites Justify cheered this encouraging
result Of their first tussle with the gov
eminent.
By far the best speech on the minis
terial side was made by John Burns,
president of the local government board.
who in defending the administration OF
the powers the government possess under
existing acts, roundly condemned indis-
criminate charity as advocated and
adopted by some well-meaning persons.
