in that it viii throw light upon the
workings of the express system, which
everybody knows IS intricate and ca
pable of extortion when pqrposeIy ma
nipulated to that end, or when care
lessly handled by incompetent and poor
ly paid clerks. There has been lurk-
ing suspicion in the minds Of business
men for a long time that the tariff
schedules of the express companies
ought to be thoroughly exposed, so that
people who pay for the service might
know whether its cost was anywhere
near proportiorate to the charges made
for carrying parcels. This and much
more is coming out at the hearing. and
the hope is that It ali may result in
better methods and cheaper rates for
the service rendered by the express
companies of the country.

Light on Express Rates.

Much interest attaches to the hear.
ing going on before the Interstate Com.
Inerce Commission into the question oi
express rates. The case before the
commission has to do specifically with
overcharges made upon prepaid parcels
at Offices Of receipt of packages, and
in many cases no return of the balance
IS made to the sender.
From facts presented to the commits
sion 1t appears that in one month over
payments on packages received by one
express company amounted to $4,000.
Representatives of the company insisted
that some part of this amount had been
returned TO persons overcharged, but
they were unable to do more than put
forward an estimate of 20 per cent as
the sum paid back. Even on this show
ing, the fact remains that the company
under investigation is taking a large
amount of money from its patrons over
and above the correct rates, and the
commission has declared through its
chairman that it will order the man
ayers of the company prosecuted upon
the facts presented.
The testimony before the commission
shows that these overcharges are large
ly the result of mistakes made through
lack Of knowledge on the part of re-
ceiving clerks. Express tariffs, especially
when packages travel over two or more
lines, are somewhat difficult of correct
estimate. It was said at the hearing
that many clerks do not understand
them as well as they should. In the
hurry of receiving many parcels, the
clerk gets confused, and under a sort

Affairs in PORTUGAL.

Affairs in Portugal have reached q
point where the newly formed repub-
lican government finds itself in a crisis
from which it may not be possible to
escape Industrial strikes, particularly
in the Lisbon district, have made mill
tary Intervention necessary to preserve
order, and the occasion is seized by the
reactionaries to restore the monarchy,
Don Miguel of Bragsnza and King
Manuel are said to have come to an
agreement, and both are working to-
ward the restoration of the young King
to his throne. Activity in the Spanish
feet and what appear to be well-found-
ed rumors in Madrid indicate that
Spain is preparing to intervene at the
proper moment, and in that case Man
uel will most likely be returned to
power.
The government is treating strikers
with little less leniency than they might
expect under a tyTannical monarchy.
The disturbers of the peace are being
tried in blocks of twenty-five by drum
head court-martial, and the penalties
inflicted are severe, with no appeal, ex-
cept to the highest military authority.
This places Portugal under martial law
instead of civil law, and seems to have
been the signal on the part of the mon
archists to attempt a coup which would
retrieve their fallen fortunes.
That Spain synpathizcs with the
movement to restore Manuel to rule is
evident, for a well-governed republic
upon her western border, capable of
dealing effectually with such upheaxals
as the present industrial revolution,
would be an object lesson which King
Alfonso and his advisers would deplore.
1t would be equivalent to a hand,
writing on the wall that the whole
Iberian Peninsula would at no distant
day pass under republican rule.
Whatever the outcome, events are
moving fast in Portugal, and affairs
there are likely to occupy a large por-
ton of the worlds attention during the
next few weeks.

An Architectural Panorama.

In Fifteenth street, near the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, steam
shoveis are already excavating for the
new structure for the bureau. This
building, when completed FIVE years
from now, will have cost the govern
ment S2,sooooo. 1t will be a large and
ornate edihce along the general lines
of the classic architecture of the Capt.
tai City of which the Treasury is the
type.
The construction of the new Bureau
of Engraving and Printing is the be-
ginning of period of building for the
government which will include the
three buildings for the departments of
State, Justice, and Commerce and La
Dor, upon land already purchased, be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall, and Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. 1t will also include the new
city post-ofice, and possibly the main
building of the Department of Agri-
culture. The three department build
ings mentioned will cost 100000, the
price of the land having been about
100000. The city post-ofice build
ing will cost 100000, including the
value of the site.
Operations upon government build
ings must be on as large scale in the
future as they have been in the past.
Many bureaus and some of the depart
ments are in rented quarters, at addi-
tional cost, and in rooms badly suited
to the purposes of government work

Solving the Street Car Problem.

The editorial suggestion in The
Washington Herald that steps should
be taken at once TO provide some So
luton of the street car problem for the
future has met with a prompt response
by the United States Senate, a resolu-
ton directing the District Commission
ers TO submit a report upon the mat
ter having been unanimously adopted.
Il has already been emphasized that
the vital point in the problem is the
fact that, with minor exceptions, there
has been no enlargement of the main
arteries of travel in the last thirty
years. The exceptions are the route
along New Jersey avenue to the Union
Station and the Florida avenue line to
Eighth street east. The burden of
traffic on the principal thoroughfares,
like Pennsylvania avenue, Fourteenth
street, and Connecticut avenue, has
naturally greatly increased with the
growth Of population, and the limit of
track facilities is practically reached
upon these lines. 1t is evident, there
fore, that new routes must be devised
to relieve this situation. while it is quite
possible that some scheme may be de-
viscd to remedy the present unsafe and
oongested conditions at points like New
York avenue and Fourteenth street.
The widespread comment elected by
the discussion OF the question in The
Herald and the action of the Senate
demonstrates the importance of the
subject The Commissioners will be
justified in devoting much care to the
consideration OF the problem Nothing
else so vitality concerns the future of
The National Capital.
