INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
The Provisions of Mr.. CuiIom's Sub.
stftute Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Mr. Cullom to-
day reported a substitute for the bill to
regulate commerce recently submitted by
the committee on interstate commerce, and
gave notice that he would soon ask the SEN
ate to set a day for its consideration. The
important sections of the DILL have been re-
vised and somewhat modified by the COM
mittee.
AS the bill now stands its provisions apply
to the transportation of passengers and
freight by railroad, or partly by railroad and
partly by water, when both are used for con-
tinuous carriage between the states and be-
tween the United States and foreign coun-
tries. The sections prohibiting unjust dis
elimination and the giving of undue prefer
ences are not materially changed. The
charging of more for shorter than for
longer distance is prohibited. with toe pro-
viso that the commission may make excep-
tions TO this requirement when found neces-
sary in special cases where there is water
competition. All rates must be published so
far as the commission may find it
practicable to do. and in such manner as
may be prescribed. Advances In published
rates are prohibited except after ten days
public notice, but reductions may be made
without public notice. The courts are given
authority to compel compliance with the re-
quirements in regard TO publicity of rates,
may mandamus and may, If necessary, re-
strain railroads from carrying on business
until they comply. For violations of the act
the officers and agents of corporations are
made subject to a thousand-dollar fine for
each offense and the corporations are made
liable to all persons injured for all damages
occasioned by such violation. Complaints
may be made TO the commissioners by any
person, firm, corporation or association, any
mercantile, agricultural or manufacturing
society, any body, polite or municipal organ
ization, or by any state railroad commission,
and shall be Investigated unless the matters
complained of are promptly adjusted at the
request of The commission. The facts as as
certained by the commission in such investi-
cations are made prima facie evidence in all
judicial proceedings and ample provision is
made for enforcing the recommendations of
the commission through courts when neces-
