Members Of the House District commit
tee are reported to be dissatisfied Win the
estimates of the cost of the proposed b.
and o. improvement on the basis OF winch
the assessment of S15OO, 900 against the
public is levied by the pending bill. They
may we'll be astounded by the vagueness
and roundness of the figures and the loose
way in which items have been charged to
the account attributable to the cost of elm
mating the grade crossings. The Star mas
previously shown in its news columns how
unsatisfactory and misleading these esu-
mates are.
One member called attention. 1t seems
to a discrepancy In the acreage features or
the account, showing that the company re-
linquishes only nineteen acres In changing
its line. but charges in the estimates for
nnety-four acres for its new line. to re-
place the old one, toward which the gov
eminent and the District are asked to con-
tribute. The Star has shown how the esti-
mated cost of these acres of land claimed
to be necessary for the improvement Is
placed extravagantly high in the table Of
charges, probably at least $254 720 higher
than the actual transaction would involve.
Thus it is charged that the railroad COM
pany in its bill has put In a claim not only
the immediate purpose of elevatIng it's
tracks and che ngtng its route, but has ad-
vanced an exo:bitant claim for reimburse
ment on this account.
In the other details the railroads esti-
mates of the cost attributable to the eleva-
tor Of the tracks is not acceptable to
fair minded observer. Half the cost of the
lexington establishment, round-houses,
oto 10 cha 10
justly Half the cost of right of way on
the new cutoff from Montello to Ecking-
ton is thus imposed, without show OF
reason The whole bill Is filled with i'm
Pre- prieties and effronteries.
One defense offered in behalf of the
iniuuity of this 81 600 bonus is the state
Elent by one of the roads attorneys before
the committee the other day that the Il.
and O. expected this money indemnity be-
cause if had secured no large grants OF
public lands as had the Pennsylvania. 1t
is true that the 3. and o. does not receive
laree slices of parks. but doubtless mercy
becs use there chance to be no large parks
living within it's range. 1t does cover more
than one small public reservation, however,
and several acres of street space. Inc
difference between the value of these pub
liz lands to be occupied by the b. and o.
and of the lands to be relinquished. as esti-
mated on the basis of the assessments
shows an increase in the value of the rail-
roads's land grant Of $'17,S 800. Neither the
Pennsylvania nor the Baltimore and Ohio
pays for what it gets In public lands, and
there is no equity in capitalizng at 81
900 at Districr expense the B. and O's

The announcement that the President mas
no thought of Withdrawing the Hay
PaunCefote treaty. but will submit II 10
Great Britain in the form in which the
Senate may finally dispose of 1T, accords
with his reputation for sagacity. He KNOWS
full well-no one 5etter-the limitations OF
the executive In the matter OF the treaty
making power. We may all be sure that ne
has at no time thought of trying to jam
the treaty through the Senate as negotiat-
ed, and equally sure that neither ne nor
Secretary Hay ever pledged the Senate TO
the English government in the premises.
The Senate could only be taken into the
calculation as the Constitution provides. 1t
is charged under that instrument with pass
ing upon treaties submitted to it by the
Executive. Its powers are as great as his,
and independent of his. 1t may amend, or
reject outright, the negotiations of the
Executive. SO that what has taken place
in the present case is that the Executive,
in lawful manner. has negotiated treaty
with the British government, and the Sen
ate in lawful manner has dsserted from
certain provisions of that instrument.
That Lord Salisbury is disappointed in the
attitude of the Senate may be accepted as
fact without impeaching the conduct of
either the President or MIR. Hay If he as
sumed that the Senate would ratify una
mended the work of the Executive he as
sumed too much. He might have known
that in the matter of treaties in particular
the Senate has always exercised it's powers
with a somewhat aggressive courage. 1t is
a picked body of very able men. and may
a all times be expected to hold and to as
sert it's own views on questions of public

lions in matter so important as that of
this canal treaty, upon which men have
taken sides with much feeling, was not
for a moment to be considered. On this
side of the water it was not for a moment
considered No one could have undertaken
to speak for the Senate but itself and no
one has spoken.
IT is unfortunate that here and there a
too bumptious note has been sounded in
dealing with a subject which distinctly calls
for unimpassioned and busness-ike treat
ment. Senators have not erred in this par
ucular, If we may accept accurate the
carefully prepared reports of their deliver
ances in executive session, but some of the
discussion elsewhere has been marked by
sentiments which left one in doubt as to
what We were really seeking to accomplish.
one might suppose from such discussion
that our sole object is to pick quarrel with
Great Britain; and there is more than the
suggestion that the attainment of this end,
and not the building of the canal. would
meet with hearty applause in more than
one quarter. But this spirit will not domi-
nate the proceedings. In the end-and soon,
let US hope-we shall have an American
canal, without war or lasting i'll feeling
with any power over its construction.

Now IL the Time.

Now-at this session OF Congress-under
the inspiration Of the centennial year, Is
the time to act in the matter OF the
memorial bridge.
The grandest and most fitting memorial
with which to commemorate the centennial
OF the national capital and the greater
America of 1900 would be a bridge across
the Potomac to Arlington. to connect the
Unions capital with the state Of the late
confederacy's capital, to bridge the watery
chasm between the sections, to unite the
nations city of the living with the city Of
the nations dead. The memorial or CEN
tennial bridge would symbolic this ma
tional reunion, this national expansion and
development.
The idea of this patriotic. unifying func-
ton to be served by the memorial bridge
has taken strong hold upon the American
people and especially upon the soldier or
ganizations, nc eth and south. The fitness
Of action on TT 8 line during the centennial
year has been generally recognized. The
very first recommendation Of a permanent
memorial structure by the citizens' CEN
tennial committee suggested the erection
of memorial bridge for this purpose. The
Congress Is still in existence which in the
Senate at the last session passed the bridge
appropriation and came within a few votes
Of the same thing in the House, under CIR
cumstances which pointed to its certain
passage at this session. -~-'->'t
Now, what is the natural course to be
pursued to secure the success which was
then so narrowly missed? 1t is to push
the project as then presented, the plan ap-
proved by the War Department, ratified
by the Senate and SO nearly Endorsed by
the House. the accepted plan designed by
Mr.. Burr and described by him. clearly and
ably. before the Board of Trade last night

Elsewhere in The Star is printed a brief
but very pointed communication signed !
Z. F.. from one of the leading business men
and public spirited citizens of Washington.
He urges as suitable centennial act the
erection of a monument TO Alexander r
Shepherd and through his rendered con.
tribution gives generous recognition of the
value of Shepherds services TO the national
capital.
In the speeches and especially in the
newspaper matter concerning the centen-
NAL there have been many appreciative ref
erences to Shepherd as the second founder
OF Washington, the modern creator of the
national capital of 1900. In fact, both out
side of Washington all over the republic as
well as within the limits of the capital
there seems to have developed and to be
developing correct understanding Of the
vitality essential part played by Shepherd
in the citys history and in the work of
capital making.
But while there has been a general readi-
ness to admit that all of modern Washing
ton, in Its most conspicuous features of at
Effectiveness. is itself a monument to Shep-
herd, concrete evidences of the public ap-
probation Of this fact have been somewhat
lacking. Not only is there no monument in

sistently RETAINED from rendering him even

him; only an obscure alley bears the name
OF the regenerator of Washington. For
years the opportunity afforded by the cree

often utilized to honor some nobody. No
such building is honored by the name of
Shepherd
Washngton's appreciation of A. R. Shep-
nerd cannot be too vigorously and heartily
expressed: and above indicated some

lily glad that this shameful spectacle is end
ing. 1t is pity that it could not have been
prevented by the police, for it has been of
no benefit to any one but the hackers OF
the contestants. who have profited at the
box Office. They have kept their men in
agony on the track. exhibiting their misery
at SO much q head to those who wanted
to race in which the riders should
pedal on until they dropped on the track
half dead.
Team after team have been forced to
stop. half crazed by the physical strain to
which they were subjected. The remaining
contestants were being dosed and artificial
ly stimulated last night that they might
last until tonight's gate receipts were on
hand.
