steamer 10y a rope. When some of

son In IL was thrown out and drowned.
When the stern of the vessel

OF the women and children

washed away; the other, John Nelder-
mann, succeeded In reaching the fore

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb 2S.-Chairma1
Reagan. of the commerce committee, recog
nizes this as his golden opportunity to get his
Interstate commerce bill before congress,
and to make it law, if such
thing be possible, and he is emitting no
effort to bring it about He is holding the
committee down to the work constantly
Nearly all Of the sessions are given to the
consideration of this bill. The work is by no
means completed as yet, and it is pretty
evident that the bill will be scarcely recog-
nizable by the time it gets through the com-
mittee and into the house. There is a strong
feeling in the committee in favor of a.com-
mission which shall have control of railway
affairs, and it is quite probable that the ma
jority viii decide against Reagan's system
and in favor of a commission. This, how
ever, will be opposed in the house by that
| class Of people who always oppose anything
which creates new government Offices,
The commission plan would create
board of railway commissioners with auto
cratic power and large force IF surbordi-
nates-a bureau which would perpetuate
| itself indefinitely, and which would after all
be inaccessible to the general public. The
bill will have pretty hard time before it
