THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY....:.........August 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no compe: G7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any Indiv: al connected with the Office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busiucss Depart- Fis according to tenor or purpose. ee At every opportunity the management of the Washington and Anacostia Street Rail- road Company insists that business will not permit the running of two-horse cars and the additional expense of conductors. This contention was strongly in evidence yesterday at the District building, where representatives of the company appeared for the purpose of informing the Commis- sioners that demands for improved service were entirély unreasonable. In support of the company’s argument, books of the road were produced to show that unutterable ruin would be the result of any material improvement in the equipment of the road. The petitioners who asked the Commis- stoners to encourage a better state of af- fairs take the ground held by The Star, that what has been is of no value at all when figuring is being done on what may be. It would be very surprising, in- @eed, if the Anacostia company secured any considerable amount of profit from the Operating methods now in vogue in that corporation, for the cars are patronized only by persons who are practically com- Pelled to use them. The company’s argu- ment resolves itself into a declaration that because “‘bob-tail” cara have not been Profitable there would be a lamentable de- ficit should the company destroy the an- cient vehicles and put on in their place modern cars, sufficiently manned. If that is not the acme of argumentative absurd- ity, some wide-awake and successful bus- iness men must be very much mistaken. It is rather astonishing that the Anacostia company should find a defender in a man who has so much of commercial energy as Commissioner Truesdell is blessed with. Surely the Commissioner knows that ft is not possible for the people who netition for better service to produce figures in support of their claim that modern equipment end up-to-date methods would materially let- ter the financial condition of the company that is now privileged to parade over some of the principal streets of the national cap- ital the dinglest and dirtiest parodies on street-cars that could be found in the most insignificant of one-horse communities. —_+++_____ Reliable information from New York is to the effect that a delegation of citizens from Atlanta, Ga., called on President Spencer, of the Scuthern Rallway Com- pany, yesterday at kis office, No. 30 Broad- way. to urge him to change the railway’s headquarters from Washington to Atlanta. ‘The New York Tribure says: “Mr. Spencer received the delogates cordially, took them out to luncheon and told them that while he had not any intention of changing the headquarters of the Southern Railroad, he would consiier the proposittun.” President Spencer evidently knows how to be pleas- ant even to those who are anxtous to make proffer of gratuitous advice as to how the ~ Southern Railroad Company should con- duct its business. Ii seems to be generally understood in railroad circles that the change for which Atlanta pleads will not be made, but fallure will not leave Atlanta much that is material to grieve over. The effort to move the headquarters of one of the most ignportant raflroad systems in the country almost a thousand miles away from the comparatively small area in which commerce and national government have their centers has cost only a small emvount of cash. With transportation donated by the railroads, and that free luncheon, at which: President Spencer was the host, the delegation will not necessarily have to expend very much of Atlanta's money on this particular errand.- Should the office-moving agitators see fit to stop ever in Washington for a little while when on their way homeward they would speed- ily be compelled to note how very much superior to Atlanta this city is as a home for railroad headquarters, and especially the headquarters of the Southern Railway Company. —_—___+ 0+ _____— It makes no difference whether the United States asks for information from the for- cign nations politely or otherwise; the re- plies seem to come just as deliberately in the one case as in the other. When a Span- ish gunboat fired upon a steamer flying the American flag and on the high seas, Sec- retary Gresham was very peremptory in his demené for all manner of explanations and spologies, but Spain did not manifest any particular eagerness to respond. In the case of, ex-Consul Waller, - who was convicted of treason by a French military court in Madagascar, the United States proceeded in a fashion much more subdued than that exhibited in the Spanish controversy; Ambassador Eustis mildly and courteously requested the French government to furnish the United States a copy of the evidence upon which Waller was convicted and sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment. The re- quest has been repeated, but no reply has as yet been vouchsafed. Making liberal al- lowance for those delays which are com- mon in diplomacy, even in these days of electricity, France has heen much too slow. To the ambassadors and envoys extraordi- nary and ministers plenipotentiary this de- lay and evasion on France's part and this hesitancy on our part may be all right, but to the common people of the United States they do not seem to accord with the na- tional dignity. ——_+ «> ___ The announcement that President Cleve- land does not desire a third term may be regarded as a final blow to any hopes that the ex-Queen of Hawail may have enter- tained. —__ +++. Steadily the number increases. Yester- day there were but ninety-two artisans em- ployed upon the city post-office building; today the total force is ninety-four. —_+++_____ The electric wire undoubtedly has place in the modern system of things. that place is underground. — > ___ Chief Mcore of the Weather Bureau is inaugurating scme important and valuable methods in his work that will go far toward making that excellent branch of the government service more popular than ever with the people. His latest effort is to furnish close forecasts of coming storms to maegers of street railway lines, team railroads, steamboat companies, tele- raph lines, and indeed all other classes of business men whose interests might pos- sibly be affected by sudden changes in the barometrio conditions, If the standard of @ccyuracy can be continually raised, so as to increase confidence in the forecasts, these special warnings to those whose property is exposed to the elements may result in saving a great amount of money bs 4 feason, Until the day shall come Ul ele¢tric wires are placed under- aya guch Warnings may perhaps save & its And aby te expenditure of large sums an- pairs to the lines but also aah absence of full and reliable telegraphié and telephonic com- tect etetaenrio e munication usually felt by all commercial interests after every widespread and power- ful storm. The storm signals displayed at all the important ports of the country in ad- vance of every storm of magnitude might as well be duplicated on a small scale on the rivers where lives end property are constantly exposed to the dangers that ac- company water transportation. The Chief has also ordered that special efforts be made by the observers and forecasters throughout the cuuntry to ascertain where the service can be made practically val- uable in other directions, and if he suc- ceeds in half of his enterprises it is safe to assume that he will eventually accom- plish the desired result of making his bureau the best friend the people have in the administration of the government. An economy of appropriation that serves to cut off these possibilities will be short- sighted and wasteful in the end. —_-e + ___—. It is among the possibilities that at the- last moment serious differences of opinion will prevent the contests which have been arranged to teke place in this country be- tween the London and New York Athletic Clubs. Prominent members of the London Athletic Club have objected to some of the New York men, alleging that their status is not that of the class known in England as “gentlemen arrateurs.” This comes of going all over the country with a drag-net for the purpose of finding athletes most likely to assist the New York club in de- feating its British adversaries. The situ- ation has within the past few days been complicat2d considerably, however, by the fact that the London Athletic Club man- agement has been doing the very thing for which the New York club has been scored. A dispatch from the British metropolis says that several well-known athletes have been induced to join the London club with a view to their being included in the team. “As some of these men,” says fhe dis- patch, “ara in the same category with the objectionable New Yorkers as regards their classification as gentlemen amateurs, objections are being made to them similar to those raised against some of the team of the New York club. It is said that some of the London team consider many of the recent acquisitions to the London club as being even lower in social status than the New York men objected to, and regard them as extremely undcsirable companions on a long sea voyage.” At this end it seems to be understood that the contests will take place anyhow. The chairman of the athletic committee of the New York club says that it is all nonsense to suppose that the Englishmen will back out now; if they did the organization which they represent would become che Jaughing-stock of the entire sporting world. Whatever may heppen it is to be hoped that there will be no taint of professionalism on the proceedings. Honest amateur endeavor— even if the contestants do not all happen to be what in England are termed gentleg men—will receive the enthusiastic support of the American public; anything less will be deservedly condemned. —___ + e+ ___ It ia too bad that the officials of both railways should insist upon contradicting the esteemed Post's statement that the Washington and Georgetown road had ab- sorbed the Chevy Chase road, and should declare that not only has the W. and G. not absorbed the C. C., but that it cannot do so under the law. The Post has a right to feel annoyed at these abrupt denials by those who ought to know the truth. But this excusable annoyance: at the doubts thus cast upon the accuracy of its guess at the facts in the case does not justify the Post in claiming credit for The Star’s uncontradicted statement that the C. C. can under the law absorb the W. and G., that it may do so at some time in the fu- ture, and that negotiations to that end are in progress. The ablest language manipu- lator and contorticrist, spurred to supreme effort by anxiety to relieve his employer or himself from a disagreeable predicament, could not perform the Post's task of prov- ing that when one states that “the W. and G. has absorbed the C. C.” he really de- clares that “the W. and G. has not ab- sorbed the C. €., but the C. C. may at some future time absorb the W. and G.” —_+ +2____.
