THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

1hE lNlE1h-SIAlE COMMEhCE BILL.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Inter state
commerce bill again came up and opposing
the "long and short haul" clause, Mr. Ingalls,
said that if the bill ever became a law there
would never be a bushel of grain nor
pound of beef or pork brought east from
Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska. Its orignator's
design was to compel men who raised the
cereals of the west to pay local rates all
the way to the seaboard. Mr.. Camden's
amendment, Mr.. Ingalls, said, would abso-
lutely destroy the commerce of
Kansas. because that state stood midway
between the Atlantic and Pacific. "What,"
he asked, "were railroads for, if not to
cheaper rates for long distances"
Mr.. Hoar thought the clause would strike
fatal blow at our foreign commerce.
Mr.. Allison said that under the provis-
ions of the bill, as they now stand, it would
be practically impossible for the people
of Iowa to get their cereals to market.
Mr.. Cullom thought the clause would de-
strOy the commerce of meat.
Among the amendments offered, was one
by Mr.. Morgan providing that if two or
more persons, with intent to prevent move
ment OF any locomotive, car, or train used
for carrying passengers, shall conspire TO-
gether unlawfully to obstruct or prevent
the movement of such locomotive, car, or
train; or, to to put in peril the personal Sc
curity of any officer or employe of any
railroad company, shall be guilty of con-
spiracy, and, on conviction, shall be pun
ished by Imprisonment for not more than
six months, or by fine of not more than
$500, or both.
CATCH THEM FIRST.
Senator Fair, of Nevada, has written to
the secretary of the interior, proposing a
plan for the disposal of the Apaches. The
plan is that they be colonized on the island
of Santa Catalina, about twenty-five miles
southeast of Los Angeles. The climate is
delightful, he says, and the fishing excel
lent. He does not say how he would first
catch his Apaches.
HOPE FADING AWAY.
There is no longer any ground for hope
that the house will pass one Of the bills for
the admission of Dakota as state. The
committee on territories discussed the va
rious bills yesterday. First the Hill bill was
dished. then the EBaker bill, next; the
Springer bill, and likewise the Harrison
bill-all these by nearly strict party vote.
The republicans promptly moved that the
majority and the minority prepare their
reports, and that the rejected bills ne pre-
sented to the house.
M'MANIMA's OPINION.
j. McManima, of Pierre, Dak., has re-
turned. He said this morning: Il think
the house will pass the senate bill if it is
ever reached. The democratic party cannot
afford to strangle the measure entirely, in
the face of the congressional elections. If
the bill is defeated, two hundred of our
best speakers will be sent into the doubtful
congressional districts to fight for republi-
can candidates."
WILL REPORT FAvORABLY.
Delegate Toole, of Montana, appeared
before the house committee on Indian af.
fairs this morning, in support of the bill
granting the right of way to railroads
through the Blackfeet reservation. The
late committee instructed Mr.. Nelson to re-
port the bill back to the house with favora-
bic recommendations.
