Report on the Commerce Bill.

WAsHIGToN, March S.-The report of the
committee on commerce upon the interstate
commerce bill was presented to the house
to-day. After explaining the details of the
measure. the report says:
1t is believed that the enactment and en-
forcement of such law will provide for the
just and Necessary abridgment of the monop-
oily powers of these corporations. and protect
the people against unreasonable charges and
extortionate actions, and will, at the same
time, not interfere with or embarrass the
management of railroad corporations in any
thing which is reasonable and Just. The com
mittee believe it wiser and better to provide
for the enforcement of such a law through the
instrumentality of the ordinary course of
justice and by the judges and juries of the
country than by the orders of a commission.
The machinery of the courts is already in ex-
istence and will require no additional ex-
pense. and is within convenient reach Of the
people everywhere and as fully able TO adju-
ciate all cases arising under this bill and by
methods with which the people are familiar.
while no plan of a commission which has
been proposed could be conveniently acces-
slble to all the people. and if plan should be
presented which would provide jurisdiction
convenient TO all the people, it would neces-
sarily be cumbrous and very expensive. In
this view, a commission is unnecessary unless
il is the purpose of congress to enter upon
the detailed regulation of freight rates.

FAVORING PROTECTION.
Protests Before the Committee
Against ReductIOn on Rice.

WASHINGTON. March S.-Civil Service
Commissioner Trenholm appeared before
the ways and means committee to-day to
express his views upon the section of the
Morrison tariff bill touching rice. He said
that the duty on rice imported into the Pa
ciic states was paid by the Chinese labor
erS, who were the consumers, and was al
most the only tax paid by the Chinese. Mr..
Trenholm told of the i'll effects on the rice
plantations in this country, resulting from
disuse during the war and said that if the
productions should be checked at
this time it would be difficult or
almost impossible to re-establiSh the source
of supply within a long period of years.
Representative Dibble of South Carolina
said the labor employed in rice culture
formed an appreciable part of the country's
laboring population and was entitled 10
consideration at the hands of the commit
tee. Representative Gay of Louisiana
spoke of the excessive cost of harvest labor
Oh rice plantations in his state. as compared
with cheap East Indian labor. Louis
Schade of this city said that one brewing
firm in the West used an amount of broken
rice equal to the entire production of this
country. S. S. Wilkinson, a Louisiana
planter and dealer. denied that Louisiana
dealers mixed foreign broken rice with
home products. He declared that there
was an opportunity tor fraud; the i'm
ported broken rice was unfit for food. and
two-thirds of the Louisiana crop this year
was very little better
Archibald Mean of Louisville, Ky., rep

tive system as evidenced by the upward
course of wages in Germany since the re-
turn of the empire to the protective policy.
CLEVELAND, o., March S.-A mass
meeting of the iron workers was held at
Youngstown, o., tonight to protest against

It's not worth while TO discuss the matter
with such a man. He is either liar or an
empty-headed fool"
In conclusion Mr.. Powderly said that the
Knights of Labor as an organization had
nothing to do with the strike in the btu
minous coal regions. as the miners were
under charter organization, but he was sat
isfied that the day was very near when all
the labor organizations of the country
would be united under one general super
vision and control. he will remain in
Philadelphia with the general committee

thinks possible, to the West to arrange the
difficulties there.

The Canadian Government Warned of
Threatened Uprising of savages.
MONTREAL Cam, Jan. 8.---The Govern.
ment has received urgent and earnest warn
ings from army officers and the best-in-
formed priests in the Northwest that an
other Indian outbreak is imminent; that
the Blackfeet, Bloods and Crees are de-
faint; that they go about levying
blachmail in the shape of provisions and
supplies; that they believe RE IS re-
bellion only failed through lack of ammuni-
ton, with which they are now plentifully
supplied; that the Indians are chatting at
being cooped up on their reserves, and that
unless the force there is largely augmented
another and bloody outbreak is only
question of short time. The special adds
that the Government now realizes the gray
ity of the situation, and is taking meas
ures looking to an increase of the force in
the Northwest.
j. Chnskill a,merchant OF Battieford, N.
w. t., has left for Ottawa to impress upon
the authorities there the necessity of TAX
ing proper precautions to prevent an Indian
uprising. He says that the Indians are en-
ragged because of the execution of the eight
Indians in November, and are making all
sorts of threats.

STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. S.-David S. Terry,
ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF
California, and Miss Sarah Althea Hill,
claiming to be the widow of ex-senator
Sharon, of Nevada, were married in the
parsonage OF the Catholic Church shortly
before ten o'clock yesterday morning.
Father O'Connor, OF st. Mary's Church,
performed the ceremony. The only other
person present. was the groomsman, State
Treasurer Oulahan, Miss Hill having de-
cided to dispense with trademarks.
The marriage following the decision
of the United States Court that Miss
Hill never was the wife OF Senator
Sharon, has given rise to the opin-
ion that It was planned some time ago.
And so it has come about that her suit re-
suited in the securing of legal husband
and comfortable home. And thus ends
the story of the most romantic lawsuit in
the records of California

Exports and Imports.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE year just
ended has not been as satisfactory in the
way of exports as was that which immedi-
ately preceded it. The expectations OF do
nestle merchandise during the year
amounted to little over S650000,000
in value, falling off of nearly $780,
100000, as compared with last year.
The country seems to have under
stood the situation, however, for
it Immediately reduced in about the same
proportion it's purchases abroad, for the
importations fell off nearly SIS 700 900,
being in the year only $3.50, 100000. The
importations happily continue little less
than the expectations, balance of about
SIC, 200, 600 being in our favor.
