PRESSING PROBLEMS.

The senate subcommittee investiga t.
ing the relations OF Canadian railroads
to American lines, as affected by the
Interstate commerce law, has resumed
its inquiries. When the committee
adjourned the investigation, some two
weeks ago, the weight of opinion it had
heard was uufavorable to any legisla-
tion which would discriminate against
Canadian railroads to the extent of cut
ting off their competition. The views
of a few American railroad managers
were strongly in favor OF such legis-
lation, but large number OF others
we're not, while the sentiment
OF shippers was uniformly opposed
to restricting competition, eX-
cept so far as this might necessarily re-
suit from requiring Canadian roads
doing business in tho United States to
comply equally with American roads
with the regulations OF the Interstate
commerce law. The information OBJ
tanned by anotb or senate subcommittee.
investigating our commercial relations
with Canada, was to IA like effect.
The question now being investigated
is whether the transcontincntal lines
are suffering loss Of business, through
the operation OF the Interstate co m
merce law, which is being di-
verted to Canadian railroads,
and IL so, whether any leg
islation can be enacted to prevent it.
The committee has received communi-
cations from one or more OF the officials
OF the transcontinental lines urging
that the remedy is to be found in tho
repeal OF the long and short haul clause
| of the Interstate act, but there must be
stronger reasons than have yet been
; presented to bring public sentiment to
accede to this Wow. This clause is the
very backbone Of the law, without
which 1t would amount to very little as
| n protection 10 the people against I'M
| fair discrimination in rates. Senator
| Cullom is quoted as saying that
the evidence presented thus far has
| not indicated that we have suffered
much from Canadian Pacific competi-
ton, yet it is unquestionably true that
great deal of traffic which naturally
/ belonged to the American roads has
beon diverted to the alien corporation.
| Tho statistics Of the business of the
roads, if correctly reported, clearly
show this. II is very questionable,
however, whether the remedy proposed
by the transcontinental managers would
be effective, and it certainly could not
be without a loss to the people.
There are other features OF the prob
| 81 al
relations with Canada which are
important. Both the question of allow

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

Notwithstanding the expressed belief OF
Count Kalnoky, that the peace of Europe is
not Mt present endangered, there can oe no
question that the country south of the Dan
ube is Just now IN an unusually int1ammable
condition, and that the czar is not unlikely
to apply the torch as soon as he can do 1t
with a reasonable chance of safety. That
chance will have arrived when France Is
willing to attack Germany aiong the Rhine.
Then the alternative to war would be that
partition of the Balkan region between
Russia and Austria 10 which the Magyars
have thus far shown themselves opposed,
and against which Montenegro would GER
tainly protest. The dream IN which the
prince of Montenegro is at present encour-
aged by his Russian patron is the revival of
the old Servan empire, embracing not only
the present kingdom and Bosnia and Herze-
govina but also the Serb-speaking provinces
of Austria. Sucn hopes would doubtless be
rudely expelled If Austria would accept
Servia and section of Macedonia, including
Salonica, and permit the ear in turn TO oc-
cupy Bulgaria, the district OF Adrianople
and Constantinople. Most of the London
newspapers, III their recent discussion Of this
matter, opine that the Vienna government
will in the end agree to partition of the
kind. There is no sign, however, of any
change of feeling on the part of the Hun
garians. On the contrary, during the recent
session of their diet at Buda-Pesth their
objections to any further absorption of Slav
clements We're repeatedly declared. The
Magyars find it difficult enough as 1t Is, to
control the Serbs comprised within the
Translelthan kingdom and they would never
make such concessions TO them as Count
Won Taafe has made to the Czechs in the
Cisethen moiety of the empire. Their
opposition TO the occupation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina was only allayed oy placing
| those provinces under an independent ad
ministration. That expedient could not be
applied, should Austria acquire a large
section of the Balkan peninsula, stretching
from the Danube to the Egean. Then the
Transleithan kingdom would have TO under
take its share of the work of assimilation,
but the task would be mpracticable for the
Magyars, who are already in majority.
| Instead of maintaining preponderance over
| their Slavic fellow subjects, they would see
| their nationality subordinated and effaced.

COMMISSIONER ROOSEVELT has
deemed 1t necessary to set himself
Alright on the question OF civil service
examinations by writing a letter to the
Milwaukee Sentinel. To the thousands
of applicants for federal offices, it will
be interesting to learn that Nh. Roose-
welt never asserted that he could not
himself pass the civil service eXamina-
tions. On the contrary, Mr. Roosevelt
says that people who speak about their
severity and their scholastic character,
either err from pure ignorance or else
make malicious misstatements, The
character OF the examinations, accord
ing to the commissioner, is to test either
the candidates special fitness for his
work or else of his general good sense
and intelligence. 1t is found that the
average age OF applicants is about
thirty-one, and the examinations are
drawn so as to suit the average man Of
full growth, and not boys just out of
schools and colleges. And now the
applicant who wants a federal position
under the control of the civil service
commission should pluck up heart and
stand in no fear of the civil service
examinations.

II is rumored that the city hall plans,

plate the tearing out OF the entire foun-

less vandalism. Some Of tho very best
architects and builders have pro-
nounced the greater part OF the city
hall foundation rs safe and ample for
any five or six-story structure. To tear
them out would be u waste OF fully
twenty thousand dollars. One OF the
most potential arguments in favor Of
retaining the city hall whore it was
originally located was the fact that
tho city had already expended
over thirty thousand dollars on the
basement. All architects who entered

given TO understand that these base

possible. If tho successful architects
