COMMISSIONER FINK.
His Views Expressed to the Interstate
Commerce Committee.

New YORK, May 2l.--At the meet
ing OF the interstate commerce COM
mittee to-day, railroad pool COM
mander, Alfred Fink, made long
statement, in which he said: "There
is now very little complaint of
excessive railroad charges. Indeed
many railroad corporations have been
driven into bankruptcy because their
charges were too low to pay expenses.
The roads east OF the Mississippi
river have in many instances
been doing business at loss for two
years. l do not believe in establish.
ing by law maximum rate, for the
reason that one road can upset the
whole system of tariff. The West
Shore road has been the disturbing
element OF late. One question lie, shall
one road, by adopting ruinously low
rates, be allowed to bankrupt others?
A reduction OF rates benefits the farmer
after time but not Immediately.
The rates at competitive points are
liked by pool commission. At points
where there ia no competition the road
touching there names the rate. This
Is done to equalize the traffic. The
pooling association was able TO enforce
the rules governing the distribution
OF business until recently, when
everything went to pieces. Railroad
ing mas become as much of a profess
sion as law or medicine. The roads
are better able to fix their own
rates than any state or
national commission. Railroad men
make rates the study OF their lives.
There are hundreds of things To
be taken into consideration
which outsiders know nothing about
The conditions of trade must be recog.
nlzed, Many interests can be con.
trolled and subserved only through
SUCH commercial organizations as i
represent. Railroad companies
should be compelled to organize
themselves in associations. For this
purpose 1t would be good plan for the
roads to publish their tariff so thai
everybody could see just what they
Mr.. Fink was not prepared
TO recommend a law h

had entered into an agreement In re-
gard TO rates, TO keen il, ont he wa,
certain that, should such law b,
drafted and passed by legislature o,
congress, the railroad property
or the whole country should
be managed as one prom
erty. Either the railroads shonit

Mr. Fink promised to prepare some
suggestions which might aid the com
mittee in formu lating bills.

LATIN AM ERICA.
THE MEXICAN NATIONAL HALLWAY
SURE OF ITS CONCESSION,

CITY OF MEXIco, May 2l.-Diario
Official, the government jourAal, this
evening contains letter OF James
Sullivan, special agent here of the
Mexican National Railroad company,
addressed to the minister Of public
works in which II is stated that several
newspapers Of the city on erronerous
information have stated that the Mex
lean Railroad company is in danger
of FORGETTING its concession, not having
constructed the requisite number OF
kilometers from January, 1888, TO jan
uary, 1885. Mr.. Sullivan asserts that
the company has built eighty-six kilo-
meters more than required by law,
consequently the company is in no
danger OF losing the concession.
This statement Is confirmed by the
department OF public works. The mis-
apprehensions largely grew out of
u construction Of the terms OF the con-
ceseions, which are construed by the
government in liberal spirit. The
building of the Matamoras 81 Monte
rey branch was in the concession and
stipulated that 1t should be con-
etructed without suspension, but the
government holds that this will not
be required. The government Ia dis-
posed TO be very liberal In its inter-
probation Of the terms Of the charter,
although the language of the conces-
sion Ia apparently very strict.
The government denies that meas
uree have been taken looking to the
reissue Of nickel currency, which
caused the riot last year.
Public attention Is now occupied
with the controversy between the
national and the English banks. The
latter continues To issue and circulate
its notes under the decision OF the dis
trict court, but the case has gone to the
supreme court. The national bank
wishes to restrict the English bank to
private banking functions. Many
bulky pamphlets are being printed on
the subject,

was not occupied as factory above

notified of the change in

OF the building, hence there

Great Britain have devoted all

explosions can easily be stopped by
the English Government treating
the Irish like human beings, in

shortest possible route.

The time is at hand when the acme

Please allow me through your paper
to reply to some of the charges made
against me as Bots Blanc Island home
steader and certain matters in c0Rnec-
ton with the Bots Blanc lands. and pub.
lished in the Evening News Of the 18th
and 21st inst. In these articles l am
accused Of being land grabbsr, and
land monopOlist; q wealthy man, whose
only aim in getting possession of these
lands 10 speculation; also that l with
with others mentioned in the same arti-
cles. are negotiating for gigantic grab
Of all or nearly all the homssteads on
the Island.
These charges are altogether unwar-
ranted, made without any investigation
whatever, and undoubtedly for the pur-
pose of prejudiciRg members Of the
House against homssteaders whose
claims are held for cancellation. 1

cember 1881, and brought with me the
savings Of 10 years hard labor in the

These gentlemen are fully aware that 1
