Powers United for Macedonian Reform. REBUKE TO AMBASSADOR Nations Ready to Stop Horrors "Which Drench Land With Blood, Says Leader of Balkan Com mittee Germany Obstructs. , LONDON, June 15. The article on Mac edonia contributed by Baron von Stern burg, to the New York Outlook has cre ated considerable interest in England and has been much commented upon. A re ply to tho German Ambassador has been spnt to the Outlook by W. A. Moore, sec retary of the Balkan committee. In an interview, Mr. Moore said: "The statement that Germany now agrees with the whole civilized world that the state of affairs is unbearable and ur gently calls for a remedy is most welcome. But" what remedy does Germany propose, and how does she reconcile her insistence on the maintenance of the status quo with this undoubted urgency? Germany, he says, agrees that something urgent must be done, but this something, to be successful, must have the firm support of all the powers, but Germany does not . intend to support It, therefore, it will not Qttave the support of all the powers. Other Powers-Vnited. ' ' "The really hopeful point is that Baron Speck von Sternburg does not finally com mit his country to this transparently ob structionist attitude. Germany, he assures us, has an open mind for all reform pro posals. That is a wise statement. Ger many will do well not to Identify her diplomatic position with opposition to the Kngllsh proposals for reform In Mace donia. Sir Edward Grey, with the whole of the British people behind hlm is very deeply committed on the question. The Russian people will insist that the Rus sian ' government shall not fall behind another in befriending the Southern Slavs. The liberal sympathies of France and Italy are well known, as are those of the great United States. The question is ripening rapidly. It has advanced many diplomatic stages since Sir Edward Grey forced it upon Europe's attention in De cember last, and it is likely to enter another when King Edward meets the Bar. . . "Surely Germany Is not going to commit herself to a losing cause and stand con demned at the bar of the public opinion of the world. Tet, if she is sincerely de sirous of reform, why did she not only reject the clear programme of Sir Edward Grey but also fail to respond to his in vitation to suggest anotiier programme of her own? Baron Speck von Sternburg also criticises various proposals. He says Germany does not regard the judicial scheme as the most appropriate measure. He doubts whether an increase of the police force would give the desired re sults. He regards with some scepticism the idea of allowing European officers to direct the movements of the troops. Yes, but what alternative schemes has Ger many to suggest ? "Meantime, although the diplomatic situation was never so hopeful, the sit uation in Macedonia was never so ter rible. The English blue-book, published last week, is the worst that has appeared since the massacres oi 1903. There have been over 10,000 murders in the last four years. Christian or Mohammedan, every man's hand is against every one else. Men, women and cnildren are slaughtered like vermin and their dead bodies treated with less respect. It is amazing that such a bloody chaos should be tolerated within the bounds of Europe for a day longer." CRUISERS GIVEN A TEST Maryland and West Virginia Show Up Well In Trials WASHINGTON. June 15. Rear-Ad, miral Dayton today reported that . the armored cruiser Maryland on a four-hour full speed, forced draught trial off the California Coast, averaged 133.1 revolu tions of her engines per mmute, and the armored cruiser West Virginia, under similar conditions, averaged 131.8 revolu tions. The average speed obtained with a slight adverse current was 22.25 and 22.1 knots respectively. - The revolutions may exceed those of tha records of tho contractors trials and opinions of the Naval officials speak well for the . work on the machinery of the vessels, which have been now in com mlsslson for three years. BROIiGHT-TO TERMS Corporations Lose Struggle With San Francisco. MUST PAY-FOR PRIVILEGES Business Board of Supervisors Ex acts Reduction on Gas and Tele phones and Rent for Trolley Franchises. SAN FRANCISCO. June 15. (Special Correspondence.) The annual struggle between the city and the corporations has Jusi come to an end, with an un expected victory for the municipality. The members of the Board of Super visors; who represent the city In the negotiations with the corporations, are for the most part business men and lawyers. It was thought that their sympathies would run naturally to the vested Interests and that the local service companies, which suffered heavily in the earthquake and fire, would take advantage of the situation and -make up from the public what they lost in the fire. That is exactly what the corporations tried to do. They eaid so openly and argued their right-, to do so, but a majority of the board stood firm for the taxpayers-' and the city witnessed a most encouraging ex ample of competent government. Pressure from every possible avenue was brought to bear on the Super-' visors to force them to yield to the demands of all the service companies for higher rates. - The gas crfmpany wanted an increased rate, the water company threatened famine unless it should receive a 15 per cent advance In rates, the' telephone company resisted to the utmost, and the street railroad company ran cars without permits, seized franchises and attempted to bottle up the traffic privileges on Mar ket street, when the Supervisors stepped in and completely blocked the game. In the boodle Board of Supervisors the public service corporations got what they wanted by bribery. When the present board was elected, the service companies thought that a "business" appeal to these men of business and law would bring what they wanted. In this they were mistaken. The business board, with four or five exceptions, has stood out stoutly against corporate ag gression and in a calm, dispassionate manner has shown up In succession the injustice of the demands of the cor porations. As a result, the cty has witnessed the anomaly of commenda tory resolutions from the labor unions and denunciation from the commercial organizations of these business men and attorneys. The gas company asked for an in crease from 85-cent to Jl gas. The board conducted an-inquiry. The gas company promised to' turn its books over to the Supervisors for" inspection. This, it afterward appeared, was a bluff, for when the Supervisors asked for the records, the company refused to pro duce them until practically compelled to do so. It was then discovered that Im proper charges had been made in fig uring the cost of operation. The mask was pulled aside by the "business" board and the gas company got an 85 cent rate. An Investigation Into telephone rates resulted In a general reduction of from 15 to 25 .per cent. The water rate was placed at the same figure as last year, with a slight Increase in the allowance for hydrants. The trolley franchises which the United Railroads attempted to appropriate were withheld. The com pany was told that by paying the city a good monthly rental and entering Into an agreement to allow other lines to use the tracks, it could have the privilege sought. The trolley company contempt uously rejected the offer, planning to force the Supervisors to grant It the franchises, even going to the extent of returning to' the use of horse cars on lower Market street, hoping thereby to swing public sympathy. The Super visors refused to be moved and nave continued to hold out. Altogether it, was a rare spectacle, full of encouragement. While it raised the question, "Can a public service corpora tion be fair and honest'' it als laid down the principle .that the American capacity for solf-government is as strong as ever. The city's travail has not been in vain. Another Conscience Works Too Hard Man, "'with Desire to lie Honest, Feari He and the BnKiEcaKentau Cheated the Railroad Company. Kruse's Beach Hotel, now open. For reservations rfnd rates apply to J. D. Kruse, lessee, Gearhart Park, Or. EVERY day sees additions to the con science fund of the railroads. Only yesterday a man who feared he aided in cheating the Canadian Pacific out of something that, was due the company was heard from by the local officials of the line and expressed the desire to square the account and stop his con science from working overtime. He is supposed to be patiently awaiting the de sired solution that will put Im mind at rest once more. This man left Portland last year for Muncle, Ind. He- writes that at the Union Depot, the baggageman told him his trunks were 20 pounds overweight and that he would have to pay excess baggage charges. "He told me he would make it O. K. if I would give him J1.50." naively writes the remorseful passenger, "and I paid him the $1.50, but got no receipt. I have a suspicion that he pocketed the money. I want to be honest and don't want to be a party to any dishonest action. In a case like this what will the baggage de partment hold against me?" , "More conscience money in sight," said F. R. Johnson, head of the passenger department, upon reading the letter. "It is my duty to look into the matter and find out If he tried to cheat the company out of the excess baggage charge or was imposed upon. We may have received the money long ago and the baggageman merely forgot to give him a receipt." iti7"r 5 The Bright Spot Vr m a Dull Day BiG2E iBIPi m-CS2a nan B -fl Feed Your Nerves Upon rich, pure, nourishing blood by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and" you will be free from those spells of de spair, those sleepless nights and anxious days, those gloomy, deathlike feelings, those sudden starts at mere nothings, those dyspeptic symptoms and blinding headaches.
