TWO RECUsANT WITNESSES.
Railroad Men II efusius TO Tell what Discrim-

WASHINGTON, June ls.-The House Com
mittee on Commerce has begun the examina-
tion of witnesses to ascertain whether any rail-
roads make unjust discrimination In their ra. es
for carrying freight. MIR. Cassett, the third
vice-President OF the Pennsylvania Railroad.
and Mr.. Blair, Superintendent OF the Chenango
Railroad. connecting the Pennsylvania with the
Atlantic and Great Western road, have been
examined. Both gentlemen declined to answer
questions which would give the committee the
essential facts sought after. The question put
TO Mr.. Cassett was this:

Mr.. Blair, having been ked the same question,

action Is necessary to compel the witnesses to
make answer. While telegraph companies allow
the officers OF the House to ransack their
