John Philip Sousa's new military com

the notable success predicted for il be-
fore its New York premiere at the New
Amsterdam Theatre last week. 1t is the
only genuine comic opera production pre-
sented in New York in many years. It's

to Sousa's beautiful airs and spirited

verses this librettist has written in

given the piece magnificent mounting

SATURDAY, MAY G, 1905.


Senator Elkins is between the devil
and the deep blue sea- After spending
a large part of last Summer trying to
help the railroads. at the hearing on the
railroad rate question by the Interstate
Commerce Committee, of which he is
chairman, he now declares he is for the
people. His term expires on March
and the Legislature elected this Fall viii
choose his successor and in West vir-
ginia, as in other states. there is a de-
mand for reform, and Eikins's record is
short on reform and long on corporations
--ralroads. coal combines and other trust
propositions. The devil. on one side Is
urging him to stand by his friends, the
corpora tions. and rely upon the usual
plan of fixing" those who are open to
the liking process. On the other side is
the tax-ridden and corporation plundered
people of his State quite ready to engulf
him in tie see os political oblivion.
There are coed aany ether Republican
Senator's in the same boat. that their
constituents are watching with the same
interest that the people Of West Virginia

and official.

The warning Senators are reported by
the sun to have reached compromise
on the rate bill, says the Brooklyn
Eagle The compromise is said to be
based npon the Hepburn bill as it stands
with thi samendment: I'm suits brought
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to set aside its roders. the Cor
cult Courts of the United States shall
have jurisdiction.
Both sides are said to be satisfied with
this amendment and nearly unanimous
Republican vote is predicted for it, while
the conservatives are said to be seeking
Democratic votes also. that the bill may
not be given a partisan character before
the country. Apparently, the provision
quoted above would recognize the un-
doubted constitutional right Of any rail-
road injured by ruling of the Interstate
Commission to bring suit and test its
rights as fully in the courts as though the
Commission had not passed upon the
So olS ro.
ported TO be satisfied with the provision,
although his inquiry into the effect of it
snot yet ended. So apparently the end
of a heated controversy is in sight.
The agreement just at this time is for
tunate as it may stave off an intermin-
able discussion of the railroads. To
morrow the President is to send to Con-
gress a report of Commissioner Garfield
o nthe operations of the Standard Oil
Company. This report is said to show
that the company has received large re-
bates from railroads since the passage of
the Elkins law.
The fact that rebates We're formerly
paid to tohe Standard Oil Company. as
TO other large shippers Of freight. is not
denied The enemies the Standard Oil
Company have charged that it received
rebates on the freight shipped by indie
pendent companies. If Mr.. Garfield e
report covers the practice. down to date
It is bound to create much discussion, be-
cause the management of this particular
tack of many critics of "the trusts" If
the report shows that rebates are still
paid by that company it would tend to
reinfame the animosity toward railroads
and large business operations which has
been shown by many advocates of the
Hepburn bill The report will go to Con-
gress on the day that the Senate has
agreed to take up amendments to the
Hepburn bill. The FIRST amendment is
that proposed by seuatoro Lodge, making
pipe lines common carriers. subject to all
the provisions of that law. The pipe
lines are STANDARD Oil lines. The coin
cidence is likely to stir up lively de-
bate, but apparently a rate bill not re-
pugnant to business interests or to COM
