looking over the field came to the conclusion con-clusion that an opportunity for a new < line of Industry exists right here iii the 5 national capital This gentleman has S formed company for the purpose of < giving visitors to Washington every I t possible chance of seeing the city to of 5 the best advantage at the least popsl I k 4 be expense Mr Fred C Slovens president pres-ident of the West End National bank I some months ago organized nil syndicate l J syndi-cate for the purchase of nearly till of the electric railways in the District of Columbia Last year ° Congress formally r formal-ly I authorized the consolidation of these railroads Into one corporation known as the Washington Traction ElectricS Electric-S company Millions of dollars were I paid for the betterment of the roadbed I 1 S road-bed I and In ne v equipments and today 1 Mr Stevenss syndicate as It fS known j it is perhaps the bestequipped underground J f under-ground electric railway system In the world S r 5 Tills young fellow from the West thought It would be a good Idea to runS run-S L cars periodically over nearly thfc entire en-tire line of this system and he pro deeded to make arrangements with the otllcers of the company Last Thursday Thurs-day the flrst cars or the new route were started They proved a success from I the jump andnow It Is possible for a I visitor to the national capital to get I right on orTe of these cars In the heart 9f the city and ride for two hour S around all of the principal buildings and to have explained to him by a guide Who I accompanies each train the history his-tory and uses of every building of Im pojtance passed on the route The s scheme Is an Ingenious one and it Is t fz probable that the man who conceived I 1 It will make money out of It He certainly cer-tainly ought to for in the language I j of the country newspaper he seems to I have supplied a longfelt want I S ° INDIAN AGENCIES I I When the Indian appropriation bill I S passed the House It was seen that elghtfor ten Indian agencies which had existed for the past decade or morel I more-l dbecn Abolished The reason for this action on the part of the House cornS corn-S mittee was the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior who declared I 5 Ills belief that the necessity for the maintenance oC these agencies had ° passed away But all those abolished or proposed to be abolished by the House with one exception are represented repre-sented In the Senate by men who have J L constituents quite willing to be Indian agents and the consequence Is that all J of the agencies have been restored Into the bill which Is now pending before 1 the upper branch of Congress It Is f > unlikely that there will be any reduc I rjHtlon In the force of Indian agents notwithstanding FJ not-withstanding the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior RURAL FREE DELIVERY 5 The postonice appropriation bill one I of the moat Important measures to I I t come before Congress will In all probability I S prob-ability carry an item for tho increase und maintenance of the ruraL ficede livery servicetwice M large as that S carried In thtblll for the current fiscal year Notwithstanding the opposition of President Cleveland and his 1ostmas S tcr General to the establishment of this J service there has been no Innovation In the Federal Government which has 1 proved so unqualifiedly popular asthls scheme for the delivery of letters In f the rural districts Upon the face of I things It would appear that the service S 1 IB expensive but when the facts are I known absolutely and when thla < = er 1 j Vice I Iu shaken down Into shape It will be shown that the savings in one direction di-rection more than compensate for the S increase Iu expenses In the
