RAILWAY INTERESTS.
BEAGAN DEFENDING HIS BILL.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Judge Reagan adj
dressed the House Committee Commerce to-day in
advocacy Of the bill introduced by him TO regulate inter
state commerce. He criticised what he described tho
endacy OF the representatives OF the railroads, who
have come here and declared before the committee that
inc best thing Congress do ia to do nothing, and
ASKED either imbecility. corruption fear shall
prevail In treating this question, how long viii 1t be be-
Tore all onr material interests win be controlled by few
railroad monopoes :" lie argued the first problem to
solve Is whether shall curb the monopoly

tonal provisions with the intention Of showing the
power OF Congress in the matter, and maintained that it
was within the power OF Congress, first TO regulate
merce, not the railroads aud, second 10 regulate CON-
merce between and not In the Statcs He then dwelt

Continuing, he said "This bill, IL passed, would

TITO VEXED QUESTIONS.
THURLow WEED ON CHINESE IMMIGRATION AND
SERGEANT MAsON's SENTENCE.

THURLow WEED ON CHINESE IMMIGRATION AND
SERGEANT MAsoN's SENTENCE.
To the Edftor Of the Tribune.
SIR: There are two sides to the Chinese question.
Calm thinkers are greatly perplexed. In our
national infancy we commenced housekeeping by
opening doors guests from all portions of the
Old World. 1t has been our boast for a hundred
years that America would welcome strangers from
every cllme But China is taxing our hospitality
too severely In the Pacific States the Cinnamon de-
priye our industrious classes of employment: they
work cheaper do their work better, and are far
less troublesome than the laborers and donestlcs
with whom they come in contact, and 1t is alleged
and feared that Chinese immigration Will crowd
those States with an incongruous element-an ele-
ment which does not and will not assimilato to or
fraternze with our institutions or people. In the
Atlantic States, the Chinese, comparatively few In
numbers are industrious, frugal quiet, sober and
inohensive. The question is further embarrassed
BY diplomatic and treaty relations. Will not the
passage of law closing our ports against the nbab-
itants of friendly Power not only disrupt the rela
lions but provoke retaliationf Without entering
upon this other features Of the question: must be
permitted TO express my regret that Congress did
not limit the operation of this law TO five years.
That would have given time Cor negotiations which
might have resulted in an anicable adjustment Of
the question. In view of its Importance and the
difficulties by which IT Is surrounded would 1t not
be wise for the President to return the hill with
suggestion of notifications which would make il not
only acceptable to him but to fair-mindod men of
all partesf
There is a grateful sense of relief in the tardily
reached but sensible conclusion of Judge-AdvOcate-
General Swain. Sergeant Mason, as almost every
body believed, was illegally tried, illegally SEN
fenced and hurried off in hot haste to the Albany
Penitentiary. II has been apparent from the be-
ginning that good citizen and patriotic soldier
could not he doomed to eight years imprisonment
and perpetual dishonor whose offence consisted in
allowing his heart to get the better of his head.
II Sergeant Mason instead of presenting good civil
and military record, had been of bad charac-
ter there would have been excnse if not a justG-
cation for the action of the tribunal which would
have acquired and deserved distinction in the days
of the Spanish Inquisition. 7. W.
