Tho question now H whether this road
riiull bu iiermittcil to enter Washington"
mid m what term.
A bill was before Congress nt tho lat
M'siuit permitting the Washington nud
(."umbel land road to come In upon the,
ChiMipenke and Ohio C'aniil, which that
corporation c.xKttcil to jhwcss, and the
bill was mi amended as to permit tho
Washington and Western to tuc'tho same
tracks. Hut tho Haltlmorc anil Ohio Hull
mad has now 'ioiriUiii of tho canal,
which will bo rtMored lis a waterway, nud
mi neither coinpuny can uso It. Under tho
lirovlsiona of feetmto bill till, Introduced
by Senator I).mi:i. In September, tho
Washington and Western road is permit
ltd to cross the Potomac pomawhero be
tween tho Aqueduct and Chain bridges
ubovc navigation, thenco by tho river
bank to Water street, along Wafer street
to Hock Creek, and thcuco by the moit
praUirablo route to a terminus or depot
near 11 and Seventeenth streets.
Whilst tho Congress should bo nio-t
jciilous in guarding the rights of tho
pioplo in dealing with railroads, yet tho
j coplo uhoulil not bo deprived of railroad
futllltlm essential to the transaction of
buMiuiS upon any pretenso of protecting
tin in from rorporntlons, As u general
mle, tluse outcries against theeneroiieli
nients of railroad curpurntlous are started
by rhal railroads to jirotcet tho nionopo
Hin tl.ey themselves enjoy.
Wnshlngton h:W been peculiarly un
fortunate lu this' regard, l'or years nil
I'liinmuulcatloii between the Capital and
the outsillt) world, at least north of tho
I'nloiune, was In the hands of aflnglu rail
road, and It is cllll remenibercd how
(linmefuHy the monopoly wiis abuseil.
Washington is more, in need of railroad
fntillilcs than anytity of o hundred thou
sand population In the Union. Its gate
way to the South Is in the hands of a
single company width jloi-s not possess
the fncilitiis or the. cpaco in which, to
handle the buliicstbat Is offered. Upon
Inauguration days tho railroads un
load thousands of their passengers
in remote tmhuibs. And tho busi
ness men of Georgetown find
it moro expcnMvo to moro n carload of
freight from the railroad terminus to their
warehouses than tho freight rato for a
hundred miles amounts to. '
Cities and towns all over the land arc
piling Into debt to raise money to indiico
the building of railroads. Itailrooils aro
ul as much value, to the business men of
"Washington as to those of other cities. Is
it just, then, to the people for Congress to
deny admittance to those which como
knocking at our doors, asking no favors
but simply admittance uixiu our own
tcntis?
It Is not likely that there is a business
untrolnanyStutoof tho Union as large
jig (Icnrgetown bo" remote from a railroad.
Tslt Just to the people thcro to deprive
tlicm of an artery of trado for tho eco
nomical transaction of their business?
II no way for tho railrodd to cntor tho
-ily can be discovered, except by doing
the jicople a wrong, keep It out. lint
Mirely como avenue ran bo found, by
which this branch of one of the greatest
railroad systems of tho laud can bo ad
mitted without public damage.
lit It once enter ilpon proper terms and
every Interest in the city will feel tho liu

lying almost at our door, wilt be opened

when It comes to accepting lilm as a rep

How (n Muko Kisses,
A strango error s-ecms to obtain In tho
olllco of a certain morning contemporary
that bus a department entitled, "Tho Homo
nnd Ilomu Keepers' Department." It
yesterday tried to Inercuso tho gloom of
existence by spreading the sway of that
error, as follows:
"KN"es"aro made by beating tho whiles
of thrco eggs until (hoy nro stiff mid
llaky; then sift over tho egg thieo
iiuarlcrs of a run of powdered sugar, Mix
the sugar In Hglitly with a Knife. Cover

Itby r-poonf ills, and place In n-hot closet
or oven, with tho door open, for liulf nn
hour, Then rvniovo from tlio oven nud
let dry uno hour. To make them success
fully n steady, moderate heat isrciii!rod."

at such times. Wo can give a hotter
rcclpo than that for "making them stio

inent has returned a decided tcfual to Iho
ropiest made by tho J-'rcnch Minister, to
tho effect that the Dreyfus claim agnlnit
Peru, amounting to nearly 1.000,000 silver
soles, should ho paid by Chili out of tlio
funds leccived for tho sale of I'eruviau
guano and dcmsltod In tho Hank of Dng
land. When M. Ilannand, tlio recently
appointed diplomatic representative of
thoKrench Hepulillc, presented his cre
dentials to tho President of Chill, lie caused
general stlrjiVIso and dissatisfaction by
Introducing lu his inaugural remarks an
allusion to the Dreyfus claim, expressing
thn hope that It would bo canceled by tho
('Milan Treasury, Tho President rcpllel
to this in a very guarded mnnner. The
Chilian press immediately took up tho
matter, nnd In strong terms dissuaded tho
(jovnriimcnt from ucijulcsclng In any such
concessions.
"iiioiiucstloiihas been dually settled by
a sharp dispatch from .Scnor (lodoy, the
Chilian Minister of foreign Affairs, ad
dressed to M, Hariuand, In which that
gentleman is Informed that Chili is only
responsible for tbu obscrvnuco nf thn
terms ot tho treaty of peace signed at
Anoim In 181, and that In that document
no mention or allusion is mado to the
Dreyfus claim.
"Tlio Oovernmenl hero felt no appre
hension regarding, tho affair, since as far
bnek as March Iat It was Informed by tho
Government of Chili thatsuch nu attempt
was already being mndo by Prance, but
that unapproving action of the claim
would bo mado by Chili, as lu justice
none could be.
"Franco evidently Hiimiosod that tho
former animosity of Chili toward her
whilom enemy existed, and neglected to
remenincr tiini v-iuii, in view oi mo very
large ccinimcrclal movement between the
two Itcpublics, Is imirotlinn Interested in
tho national progress of Peru. So that the
matter, as far as Chill Is concerned, has
terminated, and as all tho dictatorial acts
of I'icrola, whoso government approved
tho claim, havo been declared null and
Illegal by resolution of Congress, tlicro is
no probaltlllty of tbo claim being heard of

whoso district is bounded on the north by

for tho settlement of the Indian troubles.
He says that tlio only way In which occa

tho bad Indians and keeping them under
closo surveillance.
Ho says that theso Indians cause all tlio
trouble. Thoy Incite others to rebellion
and llnd their task easy as even in tho
civilized Indian there lurks ii savage in
stinct. Ono had Indian can demoralize
twenty clvillred redskins and vvero it not
for their intluenea tho Government would
havo little or no troublo with its wards.

Agent nt Pino ltidge. Ho allowed lted
Tall and BulI-Not-Afrald-oMlis Horso to

to prevent them. Tbo result was that be
fore long the outbreaks took place which
havo attracted so much attention. Had
the agent at that agency arrested tho rebels

the troublo at once.
Commissioner Morgan has asked Mr.
