Stand Pat on the Reduction

The House voted yesterday, by a decisive
majority. TO stand by its amendment to the
union station bill and to insist upon a re-
duction of the bonus to the railroad com
panies by halt million dollars each The
bill now goes back to conference with a
plain notice to the Senate that the House
considers this reduction just. and the ar
guments adduced In behalf of the amend
ment are so strong that X Is fair to expect
that the Senate will accept them and the
amendment and thus permit the early pas
sage of the bill.
As was stated in the House yesterday, the
proposed reduction is not mere matter of
hitting a corporation There is substan-
tial ground for the lowering of the bonus
In the first place that granted by the leg
tslation Of 1901 to the B. & o. was too high.
The District protested earnestly against it,
The Star showing in great detail wherein it
departed from the practice in other cities
and wherein it lacked local excuse. This
paper pointed to the example of Chicago

The Wreck of the Madiana.

The news that the steamer Madiana,
carrying several Westinghouse on an ex-
cursion tour through the West Indies, had
been wrecked this morning on the shores
Of the Island Of Hamilton, Bermuda, came
as a great shock today. especially to The
Star for intimate personal reasons. The
early bulletins Of the wreck were alarming
in the extreme. for 1t seemed that the pas
sengers were in grave peril. the ship lying
on her side in a heavy sea, while the res
cuing vessel was unable to reach her. The
suspense was broken later in the day, how
ever, by the receipt Of q bulletin which
announced that the wreck had apparently
been reached by the rescuers and that the
passengers had been safely transferred.
When full confirmation Of this assumption
was received there was great rejoicing.
The Island of Hamilton Is one of the
most beautiful spots in the world It's har-
Dor is a delight to the eye. But surrounding
are coral reefs rated by navigators as
among the most dangerous in the course Of
vessels. The difficulties Of rescuing
stranded ship are exceptionally great I'M
der such circumstances, and the bare an
nouncement Of a wreck on these reefs is al
ways sufficient to cause the gravest fears
for the safety of those involved.
Sharing as 1t has during these few hours
of suspense the anxiety of the community
The Star is in position now to express its
heartfelt gratitude for the happy issue out
of the affliction which so sorely beset the
five Washingtonians thus suddenly con-
fronted with direst peril in the midst of
their pleasurng.

the viaduct. and the sharing Of the station
cost. Furthermore, 1t was pointed out that
the Massachusetts, avenue site. originally
proposed and finally adopted as-against the
c street site for time favored by the
House committee, would render the lands
Of the Baltimore and Ohio now used for
railroad purposes south of the site Of the
union station Of greatly increased market
value. All Of these factors were cited as
set-offs against the original bonus. and
therefore 1t was held to be move toward
just apportionment when the House
knocked off half a million dollars from each
roads allotment Of public funds.
With regard to the Pennsylvania the gov
ernments claim for a reduction Is quite
as strong. The corporation secures bridge
free of cost, for out of the change of plans
comes the necessity for the District and
the government to build a new bridge for
itself to replace the old Long bridge. The
railroad gets a large slice of Garfield Park
In addition and the right to tunnel under
important public buildings in order to Sc
cure an ideal connection between trunk
lines. AS regards the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the mall space, that is long chapter, IN
volving many considerations, the net OF
which is that there Is no equitable ground
for an approximation of 81 800 900 OF value
for the surrendered property.
The case Is far too strong for the WITH
drawal Of the House amendment. 1t Is,
indeed too strong for a compromise.

The Trusts Are Squirming.

The trusts for the moment are staggered
Their effort, made through the STANDARD
OIL Company, to shape legislation In tnelr
own interests has subjected them to such
severe and deserved censure they are driven
in sheer desperation to the feeble use OF
humbug disclaimer.
It is charged in the first place that the
story of the interference by Mr.. Rockefeller
Is fiction. The public Is assured that the
kilograms to senators and representatives
ascribed to him were not sent by him. His
son and namesake, we are told, may have
sent something to somebody over the wires
on the subject Of trust legislation. Or minor
officials Of the company may nave ex-
pressed opinions adverse to pending propo-
sitions in Congress. But Mr.. Rockefeller
himself-the one man whose views are OF
weight in matters in which the Standard
Oil Company Is interested-has done moth
ing whatever This statement, however,
does not come from Mr.. Rockefeller. who,
like most men of large affairs, has the gift
of silence at ticklish times.
1t is charged in the second place that this
fiction had its origin at the White House.
That is to say, the President and his advis-
ers, finding themselves baffled in their anti
trust program, resorted to trick In an
effort TO make nedCWay. IQey lHFSuleu
the story Of Mr.. Rockefeller's interference
and put it out for the purpose of influencing
Congress. They decided to play upon the
prejudices of the masses and by that means
bring pressure to bear upon Congress.
They selected the Standard Oil Company
because Of it's great prosperity and wide
renown, and the feeling that has been
created against 1t since the present anti
trust crusade began.
What has taken place here in behalf Of
the trusts, with Standard Oh influences to
the fore and Mr.. Rockefeller's name in
free use. is vouched for by news service
whose integrity is far above just aspersion
and whose reputation for enterprise is we'll
established The story in circulate is no
fiction, but fact which 1t behooves both
Congress and the country well to consider.
The Standard Oh Company was not espe-
cially in mind when Congress took up the
antitrust measures 1t is now considering;
and what is demanded Is something that
will have general application. But Con-
gress would do well to give special atten-
ton to what that arrogant corporation OBJ
1ects to and enact 1t into law, on the we'll
accepted theory that it is always safest and
best to go counter to the enemy 8 we'll
ascertained wishes and do what the enemy
does not want done.
