Senator Longs proposed amend
ment to the railroad rate bill would
make it possible for the order oil the
commission to be suspended by the
circuit court aud to be so held in aoey-
ance until the final determination OF
the case. This is directly at variance
with the position Mr.. Roosevelt has all
along taken. All supporters of railway
rate legislation have emphasized the
importance of putting the rate liked
by the commission in effect and keep
ing it in effect until the final decision.
If the ate may be suspended then the
railroad company will not be concern
ed for speedy determination of the case.
On the contrary, delay will be to It's
interests, and the shipper in that case
will be worn out by the litigation with
the powerful corporation.
1t is charged that the Long amen
mentwas agreed upon at White
House conference, aud because of that
ii is known in some quarters as the
Roosevelt amendment 1t Is admitted
that Mr.. Roosevelt approves the
amendment, and it is indeed regretts-
BILE. Mr.. Roosevelt has had the support
of men AZ all parties in his campaign
or railway rate lie gislation. According
to his testimony, the very point which
he seems now to have yielded 10 an
allimportant point, and If the bill as
passed. shall contain the Long
amendment, or the Roosevelt amend
ment, then the campaign for railroad
legislation commenced under auspi-
cious conditions will terminate in one
of the most disgraceful fascos in
American history.
Senator Bailey has, we think, made
it clear that congress has the power to
forbid the suspension Of this rate by
the lower courts, and because 1t is Of
the highest importance that the rate
go Immediately INTO effect and remain
in effect until final decision, the Bail
ey amendment or someth ng like it
SHOULD be adopted. Mr.. Roosevelt and
nil other men who would have the
people believe them to be serious in
the matter Of railroad reform ought to
strive for the enactment of law that
will give adequate protection to the
shipper and material relief to the pub
lic-Com mon r.

ence Thursday night, with gang of
young roughs on Winchester avenue
while escortins two young ladies TO

jected to Franks gallantry in that sec

him and the girls with stones, mud
and tin cans. The girls managed to
get away from the mob without dam
age while Frank stood the crowd off,

handled roughly. They knocked him
down and kicked him in the face, hit
him with stones and clubs and used
him up thoroughly. Warrants were

Death Of Mr.. McCill

The many friends of Mr.. Dan Nc
Gill were greatly shocked, on Sunday
morning, to learn that he had met his
death, ia a wreck at Cherry Run. He
was at the head of the RIggers crew, at
this q. ton land had been in the en-
ploy Of the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany for 80 years, and prior to that
time had led the life of sailorfo
II years At the time of his sad death
he was about So years old.
About $50 a. m. Sunday the wreck
ing crew was called out to go to Cherry
Run where several freight cars had
been derailed. At North Mountain
the train was ordered to take sid
track, and the conductor supposed he
had clear run to Cherry Run. When
approaching the scene Of the wreck, at
that point. running at pretty fast
rate, the engineer, after rounding a
sharp curve, discovered an engine and
train on his track, very short dis
lance ahead. He blew for brakes and
reversed his engine. McGill and his
gang of workmen realizing their danger
jumped from the car in which they
were. Dan who was the last to jump
struck his head against the end of a
crosstie and his skull was fractured.
He was brought at once, to the Kings
Daughters hospital where death en-
sued at about o'clock. Dan. McGill
was sterling character, honest, faith
full and competent. Few men We're
held higher in esteem than he, and it
will be very hard to fill his place, on
the road.
He is survived by wife and large
family of children. His funeral was
held in St. Joseph's Catholic Church
on Wednesday, at 9 a. m. where
Requiem Mass was pronounced by
Rev. Father G, S. Donahoe, and the In
terment was in st Joseph's Gene
tery.

WANT THE TROLLEY LINE.

Residents of the Gerardstown neigh
boraood are decidedly in favor of the
building of a trolley line through
tn .ir section of the county, and inter
est in the project in that district Is
growing steadily. \ day or two ago
Mr., David Holt, an aged and promi-
nent resident Of the Gerardstown dis
tr,ct, voiced the sentiment of the resi-
dents of that section to Col. Jas. f..
Thompson while discussing the project
saying that there were five landown-
er5 and fruit growers, including him
self, who were willing to lend the pro-
iect very substantial aid in the way OF
subscriptions aud rights-of-way
through their land free of charge.
Several members of the syndicate,
that is back of the project were in Mar
tinsburg Wednesday, looking over the
situation and in conversation with To-
cal people they gave every assurance
of speedy contamination in the event
they were able to secure the necessary
franchises. The whole matter is being
held in allegiance, and nothing farther
will be done until the city council acts
upon the proposition submitted by
Colonel Walker and Colonel Thomp-
son.
The matter will be formally present
ed to the council at the next regular
meeting, when it is probable that it will
90 to the street committee for inyesti .
CATION, to be reported back to the
city council at special meeting to be
called early in May. The franchise pre-
scented to the council sets forth in spe-
cIfic terms just what is wanted by the
trolley line promoters, and it is stated
that the council will either accept the
proposition as whole or reject it. 1t is
believed, however, that the majority
of the councilmen are in favor Of the
proposition, and that franchise will
be granted after the proper inyestiga-
ton is made.

A marked contrast always existed
between King Charles and his sub
jects. The latter, who are proud of
the descent from those offenders
against the laws OF the old Roman
Empire, which established one Of Its
principal penal colonies upon the
borders Of the Danube. have re-
tanned many of their Latin charac-
teristics. and are possessed Of all the
exuberance, the excitability and the
demonstrativsness which We are &C
customed to find in middle and
Southern Italy. They lack, however,
Italian thrift, and are distinguished
by all that improvidence and extrav-
agance that mark the Slav, and
thanks to this the national affairs OF
Roumania were in 1855 in the most
chaotic condition that 1t Is possible
to conceive. There was neither law
nor order, the army was non-exist-
ent and revolutions and coup
q ctats'' succeeded one another.

1t would take too long to describe
here the gradual process by means
OF which Charles OF Hohenzollern
has transformed Roumania into the
most important and respected of the

her import trade are advancing by

1t was In Difference to the de-
mands Of his subjects who desired
to emphasize their emancipation
from every suspicion of their former
vassalase to Turkey. that Charles,
Just 20 years ago, assumed the title
OF King In lieu of Prince. with which
