Boston, May 26.-The special COM
mi ttee Of the United States senate in
vestigating the subject of interstate
commerce continued their hearing to-
day at the railroad commissioners Of
flee. William A. Lincoln, by Invitation,
addressed tho committee. IIs did NOT
think shippers could complain OF the
present rates, which are ridiculOusly
low. They arc too low for the interests
Of railroad stockholders. The railroad
business, he said, is the worst and most
absurdly managed of any in the couu-
try. One would expect the roads to
lower their rates when the water route
competition is lelt, but he had known
roads to raise their rates frequently at
such seasons, and to lower rates when
the business is more than can
be handled. He thought mini
mum If rates should be fixed
by law. The fluctuating rates
unsettled business greatly. The stabil-
ity Of rates il more Important than the
rate itself. Mr.. Lincoln believed that
taYOritism was shown by tho railroads
in giving changes in rates to certain
shippers. he thought a general law, re-
curing at least 10 days. notice of change
OF rates would be equitable. He be.
lieved in national board of rail
road commissioners. Mr.. Lincoln
protested against the double
trnttic systems of railroads.
He believed in basing the tariff upon tho
mileage The pool system of the coun-
try Mr.. Lincoln regarded as farce. In
any legislation upon the subject ofrates
he believed carload should be a unit,
and that no reduction should DO made
IN rates for large quantities.

a HIGHER compliment has never been
paid an American lawyer than that paid
SENATOR EDMUNDs, if the telegraphic
report this morning be true. He has
been summoned to appear before the
British house Of lords to testify on

AID, though Democratic, can say cheer
fully that in ali America no better selec.
ton in the premises could have been
made than that of SENATOR EDMUNDs,

they choose TO do 80. The question then
arises: What constitutes intimidation
OF course where strikers openly threaten
workmen with death or violence If they
continue to work, there is no doubt on
the point. But how ir they make no
threats and offer no violence, how thon?

manner which will commend itself TO
