The Railroad Commission met this morn
ing. Commissioners Gone, Beerstecher
and Stoneman were present. Upon call
ing the meeting to order, COMMISSIONS
Stoneman rose to a question OF privilege,
and referring to the reported interview with
COMMISSIONS Beerstecher, as published
after the last meeting, denied the reports
as therein set forth as far as they related
to him. Commissioner Stoneman's ad-
dress was long, and dealt severely with the
article complained of. 1t was moved to
record the address on the question Of priv
ilege upon the minutes, but the motion
was lost, Beerstecher and Cone voting
against it. Commissioner Beerstecher then
presented a voluminous report, signed by
himself and COMMISSIONS Cone, and adj
dressed to Governor Perkins. Following
is the summary The reduction made by
the Board in the rate Of freights affects
grain, wool, wood, hay, cattle, hogs, sheep,
and other low priced but abundant pro-
ducts depending upon cheap Transports
ton for successful production. For the pres
emit the Commissioners ABORT existing rates
on general merchandise as the maximum
rate, and lave not thought it advisable at
present to make any changes in the pas
senger tariff, although there was desired
on the part of the pubic sweeping re-
auctions. The Board, after an investiga-
ton, came to the conclusion that arbitrary
and blind action would not be taken with
out putting at risk the interests Of the
public equally with those of the railroads.
In this opinion the Board found itself sup
ported by similar Boards of other States,
and was fortified in the conclusion by
every step in its own researches. The re-
port then enters upon a long statement Of
reasons for arriving at the above conclu-
slUuS. IolcIfluk W d ldCh VI COupcublOu
for the Pacific Coast, the report concludes;
1t is beneficial, 80 far as it prevents fuc-
t~uations in rates, which in Eastern States
reduce mercantile operations to a gamble.
The report was adopted and the Board ad'
journed till tomorrow.
