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

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.

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."
