Oh, much have I read in prose and verse,

His masters pride and his parents Joy,
A big Drained, muscular, model boy,
A wonderful boy of gold.
He could jump as far as a kangaroo,
And run like hunted hare;
Whatever he said was brave and true,
Whatever he did was fair.

And your hair stand up and your eyes

MAY COMPROMISE ON
RAILROAD RATE BILL
SENATOR ALpRlcH PROPOSES AN
AMENDMENT
On It's Face the Proposition Appears
Harmless" and the Opposing
Factions May Come to an Agree
ment at Once

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON May "A compro-
mise is within the grasp of the Re-
publicans on the railroad rate bill.
Senator Aldrich leading the conserva-
tive, or railroad senator's, has proposed
an amendment to Senator Dolliver, the
leader of the radical or administration
Republicans, which, if accepted. will
result in all the Republicans of the
senate voting for the bill.
The amendment seems harmless. 1t
provides that "in suits brought against
the interstate commerce commission to
set aside its orders the circuit courts
of the United States shall have juris-
diction."
Senator Doliver is inclined to accept
it. He would do so unhesitatingly did
it come from any other source. He be-
lieves it is a declaration of what is now
in the bill, but his suspicious are
aroused by the fact that Mr.. Aldrich
proposes it.
The amendment tonight has been
submitted to the president, and At
torney General Moody tomorrow will
be asked for an opinion.

WASHINGTON May "A poll of
the senate and house committees on

a majority will vote to sustain the
charges against Senator Reed Smoot,

believed the charges against the Utah
senator were proved, are seeking an

the constitutional questions involved.
If this was done it would leave to the

NEW YORK, May 2.-Not since the
Northern Pacific panic of May 8, 1901,
has there been such a spectacular de-
cline in prices on the stock exchange
as there was today. Heavy selling, al
most regardless of the prices offered,
began with the opening of the market
and from that time till near the close
the tone generally was weak.
There were rallies from time to time
when the bears bought stocks to cover
the sales they had made at higher
prices, when some strong financial in
terest sent in buying orders to protect
shares in which they were interested,
but each rally except the last one just
before 8 o'clock was followed by a re-
sumption of the selling movement.
The days trading was extremely
heavy. rising to the total of 2,445, ,00O
shares. Nearly 100000 shares of stocks
changed hands in the first hour of
trading.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Standard
Oil is about to go against something
stronger than the state of Missouri.
The United States government has
got around to a point at last where it
has a case against the parent of all
trusts, and unless all the advance re-
ports are greatly exaggerated, mag
mates who heretofore have defied the
authorities and the people will soon
be in the hardest corner that ever has
fallen to their lot.
Congress and the country will know
all about 1t when Commissioner of
Corporation Garfield's much heralded
report on his investigation of the old
combination is sent to the senate and
house on Friday. 1t will be submitted
by the president, who received the re-
port from the commissioner, and it will
be accompanied by an executive mes
sage.
Important Legislation
The measure in all probability will
the effective railroad rate regulation
which the administration is determined
to secure, as the report itself will show
how favoritism in rates and rebates
has built up most stupendous politico-
financial industrial institution in the
world-a power that not only controls
the output and the price of the commo-
dity that gives it its name, but which.
through handful of men. dominates
practically every branch of trade and
commerce in the country and holds the
transportation systems themselves
within its grasp.
officials of the Standard Oil company,
moreover, have something more in store
to worry about than expose of the re-
bates on which their corporation has
fattened at the expense of the vast
multitude of shippers, who have had to
pay the freight on which the railroads
in turn pay dividends.
Criminal prosecution for conspiracy
under the provisions of the Sherman

NO HARD TIMES
/. IN SAN FRANCISCO
OVER $2o0,o00,o0O IN SIGHT
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Capitalists From Here, There and
Everywhere Open Wide Their
Purses to Build the City
Beautiful
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO May 2.-An in
vestigation made today has demon
strated that the fear that San Fran
cisco will suffer period of hard times
as an aftermath Of the disastrous fire
is unfounded. Careful estimates made
by authorities competent to speak show
that within the next year there will be
over $2OO,000,0O0 available for the re-
Mobilization of San Francisco.
The following figures make clear
where this sum is to originate:
Investment of new Geary street
municipal road, $34O,O0O; Home Tele-
phone company, expenditures. $1,000,
600; insurance losses now due and pay
able Approximately, $175,000,000; city
bonds of 1904, sum still available, ST.
100000; United Railroads, new construc-
tions 80. 900, 900; Ocean Shore railway,
approximate expenditure here. $1,000,
900; restoration of Pacific States Tele-
phone company, $1,OOO,0OO; restoration
of government buildings. $4,000;
building of seawall, 100000 total
S207, 110, 900.
Expect Money From the East
1t is expected that a large part of
this money will come from eastern and
foreign capitalists. In figuring the
two hundred and odd million which
will be available the Investigators did
not take into consideration the sums
that may be raised for the beautifica-
tion and Improvement of the city.
The vexatious problem of locating the
new Chinatown will probably be settled
to the satisfaction of the Chinese col
ony 1t is the desire of the munici-
pality not to harass this portion of its
foreign population and the desires Of
the diplomatic representatives will be
considered. At a meeting today of
Chinese diplomats and a representative
standing was reached.
Resumes Old Time Appearance
The two weeks that have elapsed
since the day of the earthquake have
witnessed a transformation from chaos
to regular order. The unburned Sec
tion has been nearly restored to Its
normal condition and when housewives
are permitted to return to their kitch-
ems to cook. after the required inspec-
ton of chimneys, the streets will have
their old time appearance.
In the burned districts each day
brings it's added share of Improvement
and the great task of cleaning up has
been fairly started.
