Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, March IS 1t is nov evi-
dent that the question of interstate com
merce will figure largely in the proceedings
OF Congress next VIII ter, and ii Is equally ap-
parent that bill OF some kind looking to
tue regulation of railroad traffic will becoms
law by the act of that session. The
selection OF a special committee in the SEN
ate, or the determination to select only to
investigate the question, looks very business
like. Senator Cullom, OF Illinois, who
originated the resolution creating the SPECIAL
committee, says there is little doubt that the
Forty ninth Congress will pass an inter
State commerce law, and as he is not quite
clear whether it should be executed through
a commission or the provisions already made,
be wants some information on the subject.
Nearly all the railroads in the country
have attorneys or other representatives here
working against anything OF the kind.
Heretofore they have managed to defeat ell
measures looking toward the control of rail-
road traffic by means OF law, but it is i'm
probable they can do 1t longer. Whether
right or wrong the people are goiding their
representatives in Congress on to the passage
of such bill.
