New York, May 23.-The United States Sen
ate committee on interstate commerce met
again to-day at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and
will close its labor here tonight, and will then
go to Boston. Josiah II. White, Of the chamber
of commerce, told the committee that all Con-
gress could do was to pass II law that no road
should charge more for short than for a long
haul. jackson S. Schultz said that he did not
believe that the government should have any
thing to do with the fixing OF rates. Let the
railroads do that themselves. The system of the
payment of rebates, as practiced on all roads,
was pernciOus one, and ought to
be abolished. In spite OF the pool
ing arrangement, railroads cutting
rates. No man knew what his neighbor was
paying for the carrying OF freight. Abraham Z.

commission, clothed with judicial power, as the

We're good reasons why railroads should not be

iceberg until tcame tumbling on the forward
