PROSPECTS FOR UNION STATION

II Is Learned From Authentic Source
That Matter Is Under Discussion.
1t is known from an authentic source
that the proposition of a union depot
for Norfolk is now being seriously dis
aussed in railroad circles and it is
thought, on the strength of informa-
ton gathered from reliable parties,
that Norfolk will, in the spring, get a
union station up town. 1t is said that
the matter of securing a station into
which the through main line North
western trains will run, is doubtful.
The reason given for this is said to be
the extra cost of running the trains
from the Junction to the city.

aged 60 years, sitting beside her. While
crossing a bridge in the suburbs seeing
a cart approaching, the marchioness es-
saved to turn to give the cart safe
roadway, but ran the automobile into the
parapet of the bridge With such violence
that the parapet gave way, and the au-
tomobile was thrown from the bridge into
the ditch fifteen feet below turning COM
pletely over as it fell. The marquises
chauffeur escaped without scratch, but
the marchoness was crushed to death.
The news of the accident was tele-
phoned to Rome, where 1t came to the
ears of Queen Helena. Her majesty I'M
mediately ordered her own automobile
and hastened to the scene of the tragedy,
where she found the marquis almost craz-
ed with grief beside the corpse of his
wife The Queen took the marquis and
the dead body of the marchioness into
her own automobile and carried them to
the auirinal where they still remain. 1t

Washington. March S.-H. IL Rogers
and John d. Archbod of New York, vice
presidents of the Standard oil company
were In conference with the president at
the White House tonight. Neither of
them would discuss the nature Of their
call.
They arrived in Washington early In the
evening and expect to leave tomorrow
1t was impossible to learn anything
regarding the conference which the Stand
ard Oil officials had with the President
Nothing is known of their visit, and the
fact of their engagement to call on the
President was not known. While 1t Is
possible that the call had some connec-
ton with the subject of the message
which President Roosevelt sent to Con-
gress yesterday, calling attention TO tho
fact that without an extra appropria ton
and the power to compel the attendance
of witnesses the Tillman-Gillespie reso-
luton, which he signed. to investigate
alleged railroad monopolies of coal and
oil, will amount to very little and might
achieve nothing, there was nothing on
which any definite statement of the pur-
pose OF the conference could be based.
Both officers repaired to their hotel after
leaving the White House.

Cut Down Salary List.

The House committee on appropriations
agreed today to report legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill,
carrying appropriations aggregatng S29,-
t341sl, as against 500 ,s22, $50 for 1906. The
amount agreed on Is a reduction of SlS5.-
573 from the estimates submitted to the
committee by the various departments.
Salaries are carried in the bill for sixty
five fewer persons than We're provided
for In the last bill. and the number OF
salaries contemplated in the estimates
was reduced 236 by the committee. Many
limitations on the appropriations are
stipulated.
The most radical Of these is designed
to relieve the department pay rolls OF
high salaried aged clerks. II provides
that no clerk over 50 years is to receive
more than $1400 year: no clerk over
6s years more than Si200 and no clerk
over 70 years more than sS40. After Juno

tanned in any department.

Subsidy is AHOhed for
Fast Mails to the South

and consequently the weights upon which
the remuneration of railroads Is estimated
to be lessened.
Las years appropriation for the postof-
fee department was S1S1 022 ,023. 1t is es-
tlmated that the amount of mail increases
l per cent annually and the increase in
the appropriation agreed on is regarded
by the committee as being as small as
can, satisfactorily meet the growth of
the mails. The only item in the bill upon
which the committe was not unit, was
the subsidy of S167, 600 for the continuance
Of the fast mail train on the Southern
railway from Washington to New Or
leans, leaving Washington at a. m,
daily. This is the only direct subsidy
paid to any railroad company for fast
mail service, but its supporters, includ-
ing Chairman Overstreet urged that by
a concentration of mails in other sec
tions railways are really subsidized and
eontended that lack of competing lines in
the case of the Southern railway made
such a concentration impossible. and
renders direct subsidy necessary.
