REPAIRS PROGRESSING.
Coast Steamer Bache Nearly Ready
to Resume Service,

The repair work on the United States
coast and geodetic survey service steamer
Bache at a Norfolk shipyard is nearing
completion. and the ship will within the
next ten days or two weeks be able to
resume her interrupted trip to Porto
Rico The Bache sailed from Baltimore
over six weeks ago for Porto Rico, where
she was to have engaged in survey work
about the islands. Arriving in Hampton
roads she dropped anchor for a short
stay. She had been there but short
time when heavy gale arose which
caused the coast survey ship to drag
her anchors. and Notwithstanding that
the engines were started full speed ahead
collision with the public health and
marine hospital ship jamestown, lying at
anchor nearby, could not be avoided.
The bulwarks, railing. fore rigging and
bridge on the Starboard side of the Bache
and sounding machine on the stern were
demolished and the whaleboat, launch
and deep sea sounding machine were
badly damaged. The hull escaped injury.
Both anchors were left on the bottom
with chains buoyed.
They will be recovered and restored to
the Bache before she sails for San Juan,
to be gone until about June next.
The jamestown was but little damaged
in the collision.

side the big steel bridge used by the rail-
way lines from the south. for the use Of
the dinky trains employed in hauling the
material excavated from the railway cut
to the Potomac Park. This material is
used I'm raising the grade of the low-lying
parts of the park. and many thousand
loads Of earth were taken across the
bridge and dumped into the hollows along
the south side of the reclaimed area. The
rails and many of the stringers have
already been removed. leaving only the
larger timbers and the pile work to be
removed. To remove the piles a wharf
building machine will be necessary and
this work it is stated will be started
early in the coming week. When the
bridge is removed little will be left of
the network of narrow-gauge tracks
that have covered the new railway work
between 18th and 14th streets for the
past two years or longer.

NOT ACCORDING TO Law
IRREGULAR TRACKS AT HIGH
WAY BRIDGE APPROACH.
Railway Company Notified to Make
Required Changes-Penalty for
Failure to Comply.

The Secretary of War has Notified the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Yer
non Railway Company that it has not
laid its tracks on the Washington APP
proach to the Highway bridge across the
Potomac in compliance with law, and that
unless the company complies with the law
legal steps will be taken for the removal
of its tracks on Potomac Park. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
War Department by Maj. Cosby, the en-
gineer officer in charge of the Potomac
river improvement. which includes the
new Highway bridge
The Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railway Company" said he in his
report. has completed all the work in
connection with the installation of its UNI
foreground conduit tracks as required by
law between the foot of 14th street and
the p!ow pits just north of the Highway
bridge with the exception of little patch
ing of the cement sidewalk. which will be
done soon the weather permits.
There still remains to be done some
satisfactory system of operating cars over
the stretch of about 30 feet between the
ploW pits at the southern terminus of
the underground system and the north end
of the bridge. The act of Congress of
February II. 1901. authorizing the Wash

Railway Company to change the location
Of it's tracks so as to enable them to
cross the new Highway bridge provides
that no dynamo furnishing power to this
portion of the road shall be in any man.
ner connected with the ground" So far
no effort has apparently been made by
the railway company to comply with that
requirement on the short section between
the plow pits and the bridge. although
this office has made repeated efforts to
hasten the work
Maj. Cosby's Recommendation.
Maj. Cosby therefore recommended that
the railway company be notified that I'M
less it compiled with the requirements of
the law in the respect noted the tracks
of the company will be removed from the
bridge and its approaches. At the sug-
gestion of Gen. Mackenzie, chief of en-
gineerS, the matter was referred to the
judge advocate general of the army for
an opinion as to the legal powers of
the government in the premises That
official reported that the government had
mended that the railway company be
given thirty days time to comply with
the law. and in case of failure to do SO
within the period stated that the Attorney
General be asked to take the necessary
legal steps to secure the removal of the
tracks and operating apparatus from the
bridge and it's approaches. The Secre-
tary of War has approved the opinion of
the Attorney General and acted accord
ingly.
Meanwhile. through the efforts of the
railway company. a bill has been intro
giving the company authority to continue
the operation of its cars across the bridge
and its approaches in accordance with the
present system.
