Con. uaissieners,
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18.--The
report of the recent executive
meeting of the Railroad Commis-
sion, At which the question Of maxi
ing v reduction of fares and freights
was under consideration, indicates
that there is a radical disagreement
between General Stoneman and
the other two members OF tho
Board. The Chronicle yesterday
reported that against the resolution
introduced by Beerstecher, to adopt
u tariff reducing the tariff on grain,
alfalfa, cattle. and which are gen.
orally termed "staple" articles, 10
to 20 per cent. and retain the re-
mainder Of the tariff at the present
rates, StOnemau introduced a pro-
test denouncipg the resolution as
m outrage and violation of the
letter and spirit of the Constitution
which ought to damn the Board.
To-day the Call and Alta publi-h
interviews with Beerstecher, in
which he denies that anything Of
the kind occurred. He further
states that while he and O)ne were
making out table of reduc-
tions for the Northern aud
Central parts Of the State,
that Stoneman neglected to do the
same for the district south of Te-
hschipi, but that Stoneman sever
al times offered to reduce freight
rates from 33t to so per cent, and
that In Beerslecher's reply he held
that such reduction would precipi-
tate numberless law suits and in
functions which would destroy the
utility Of the Com mission. Stone
man replied Ia effect that that was
