MR.. WEEDS PLAN.
fFRom THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT oP THE TRiBuNk'J
ALBANY, March 14.-Among the most important
r,e.sures pcndinq before the Legislature is bill
introduced IN the Senate by Mr.. Lowery, and in the
Assembly by Mr.. Miller for the creation of Board
of Railroad Commissioners, to be invested with
general supervision over all the railroads of the
State The bill was drawn by the Committee
On Iepislatlon of the "New-York Cheap
TRANSPORTATION Association" and is nearly identi-
cal with the laws now in operation in Massachusetts,
II does not propose like the Illinois law, to give the
Commissioners power to fix the rates OF fare or
freight on railroads, but it requires them to keep
themselves informed concerning the condition aud
MANAGEMENT of al railways, and it gives bower to
snbpena witnesses and compel their attendance, and
to compel the production of copies of books and
papers, with view to furnishing complete in
formation concerning each company.
Whenever any railroad company is found to be
violating the law, or failing to comply with the
terms of the act under which II was created, the
Commissioners shall call the attention of the Attor-
ney-General to such delinquency and he shall take
such proceedings as be shall deem expedient. They
shall also examine into the of accidents, shall
investigate complaints against any road in respect
to its MANAGEMENT OF its rates of freight !;
aud shall prescribe the form in which
annual reports of the companies shall be
made, concerning all of which the Com
issioners shall report annually to the Legislature,
with such suggestions and recommendations for
legislative action they shall deem for the inter
eets of the people. The powers given to the Com
mission arc mainly to procure and furnish to the
Legislature accurate information relative to the
management of the railroads of the State. and the
grievances to which the people are subjected
which existing laws fail to supply. The Commits
sioners are to be three in number, appointed by
| the Governor with the advice and consent OF
the Senate and are to hold office for two three, and
four years EACH as may be determined by lot. Their
salaries $4,000 EACH and all other expenses OF the
Commission are 10 be paid by the railroad corpora
tions ratio proportionate to their income There
have been two hearings the bill before the JOINT
Committee on Railroads, in which Simon sterne

bill does not take front rank among the important
measures of the session, as many Western members
imagined would be the case. The House rs disposed
TO take it up at odd moments, when there is nothing
urgent ON hand, instead of earnestly pushing 1T
along. With two or three exceptions no prominent
member has yet spoken upon it, and the names upon
the Speakers list for future speeches are all those OF
new members from the West IL looks now AZ if IN
the end, the House would excuse itself for declining
to pass the bill by pleading want OF sufficient m
formation to leglslate integently and safely, ana
will pass some measure instead creating a compiiS-
sion to collect statistics on the subject.
PROBABILITY THAT MR. DAWES WILL SUCCEED
SENATOR SUMNER.
The chances of Mr. Dawes for the Sumner success
sorshp are regarded here much better than those
of any other candidate. 1t is asserted by men who
profess to have accurate information the subject
that an offensive and defensive alliance between
MeSsrs Dawes and Butler, was concluded before Mr..
Summers death, thepurpose of which was ultimately
to send the former to the Senate and to place the
latter in the Gubernatorial chair next Fall. The
conduct of Mr.. Dawes in the Simmons contest is the
only public evidence that exists in proof of tho
formation of such an apparently unnatural league
1t is currently reported, however, that Mr. Butler
declared to certain friends of his that he should
support Mr.. Dawes, the night before the Massa-
chusetts delegation left here with tho funeral
party The programme which the gosslps at the
Capitol have arranged for Mr.. Dawes Is that Mr.
Butler and his Lieutenant, Simmons, are TO instruct
their forces to keep SILENT and not show themselves
in the fight until Mr.. Dawes organizes hl8 followers
from the western part of the State, whom he can
control by using the argument of locality. Then, at
the last moment, the Butterflies are 10 rush III and
decide the contest in Mr. Dawess favor IL IS credit
able TO the party which supports Mr.. Dawes that no
one believes such programme would be carried out
if announced in advance. 1hat the independent
Republicans of Western Massachusetts,, who have
twice defeated Mr. Buffers efforts to make himself
Governor can be thus sold out TO him appears too
Incredible for belief.

allude TO any passing event Of the day, however
great IL may be. There were few prominent clergy
men, however, who did not take the opportunity to
hold up tho lesson of great and noble life
ample TO be followed by all.
In the speeches OF tho past few days numerous m
stances Of Mr.. Summers life have been brought to
light Many Of them are Of much interest, AMI
will prove valuable contributions 30 his biora-
ply. The sermons were of special importance in
this regard, @ largo number OF Boston
ministers were personally acquainted with Mr..
Sumner, and naturally. the course Of their
sermons, related such incidents had come under
their observation TO illustrate prominent traits OF
tho great statemans character. The popular clergy
men preached TO immense congregations, and at all
the churches were larger audiences than usual.
Many were draped and festoonod with mourning.
James Freeman Clarke's church was very largely
attended. The pulpit was draped with purple cloth.
and In front was bust OF Mr.. Sumner. surrounded
by wreath Mr.. Clarke being unable 10 speak. his
sermon was read. He said Mr. Sumner o states
man, not q politician, and he did not look no
the great questions which he had 10 solve
from merely party point Of view He tried 10 get
all the light which history political economy
could give, and now that he Is gone and people
speak OF his successor, why do they wish b send
mere politician when a man Of practical good sense.
great powers of business and sterling integrity Is
so much needed.
At one time when Mr.. Sumner was suffering from
tho blows Of Brooks, he felt that bis career was
ended and all was over. Taking volume from tho
table he opened TO Millions sonnet on his blind
ness. Reading this, the words seemed TO leap two
centuries and bring consolation to another man
stricken in the fight for liberty.
The Rev. J. +. w. Ware said:
In these days, had he nothing but that character
he had, we could i'll spare him. So rare in high and
responsible places is that, terribly has the
hood of our leading men fallen, so terribly fallen
are we, that we fawn fear before harlequin
tures OF the great men Of the Republic whom re-
call as followed TO the grave by nations honors
think of his equal in the lofest elements OF
character.
At tho funeral tomorrow the regular Kings
Chapel burial service will DO used. and there wili
be neither sermon nor addresses The regular choir
OF the church will furnish the music.
