Camden made his promised speech on tho
Cullom Interstate Commerce bill to-day,
In support Of an amendment offered by
himself, restricting the railroad companies
from charging more for a abort than a

The speech will undoubtedly fall like a

Camden has been on the assumption that
he occupied the opposite position, and
will leAys them practically without an

Mr.. Camden endorsed the provisions OF
the Reagan bill which provides for the
control by Congress OF the railroads in the
interest OF the people, In this particular
he referred to his speech OF two years ago
IN the same subject when he took the
Identical grounds taken to-day. He as.

TOLEDO, o., April 12, 1886.
DEAR sIR:-Yours Of the Sth received,
and in hRsty reply l have TO say that my
''candid opinion Of the plan OF reorganiza-
ton OF the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad,
as promulgated by Melvin q. Day." and
the executors Of Commodore Garfison's
estate, is that 1t leaves the property In the
hands Of the estate, precisely where 1t is
now, with no substantial, but very de-
luslye inducement for any stockholder to
participate therein. ltglyes the gracious
privilege To present stOCkholder to buy
new stock at $35 for the hundred, and
leaves the property to be covered over
and swallowed up by subsequent mort
cages, so that theso new holders will be a
minority, without potent voice, aud not
the shadow Of q hope that they will ever
realize dollar Of dividends. The same Is
true OF an unsecured claimant, except that
he gets the new stock at S. par share less.
In my judgment 1t will be piece Of great
folly for any such creditor or any stock.

new stock. lfthey construct the road 10

any chance at all compared with the sew
enty.fve cents put into the bonds by the
Eastern parties. II the sale on the 9th
