CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-The Tribune this
morning says that all the railroad COM
panies operating lines in Wisconsin are
now complying with the Potter law.
Nothing remains for them but the hope
of favorable decision by the United
States Supreme Court. We do not hear
that any Of the companies have executed
their threat of running inferior cars or
slower trains. The'sa paper also
says: The insurance companies which
have withdrawn their agencies from this
city are awaiting for good excuse to
order them back. The appointment of
General Shaler as Chief of the Depart
ment would be sufficient for the purpose.
The Hartford companies have gone SO
far as to annoCnce this semi-officially,
and the Secretary of the National Board
says, mysteriously, that he hopes the
troubles will soon be accommodated.
We should like the companies to have
fair provocation to return.
