INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.
How the Eastern and Western Roads
Feel About IL.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The presidents and
general managers of the various roads in
this city widely differ in their opinions re-
garding the new Interstate commerce bill
agreed upon by the Senate conference COM
mittee.
Eastern managers are outspoken in their
opposition to the new law, and declare its
adoption will bring utter ruin upon railroad
interests in this country. They allege that
existing railroad pools are the simplest and
most practical means by which unjust dis
crimination can be prevented
Ii the proposition to make the charge for
short haul the same as the long, prevails, il
VIII revolutionize the traffic of the country
as IT would stop competition between rail.
roads and water ways. Shorter lines would
obtain the business and have the effect of in.
creasing through rates. They think that the
only thing required to solve the railroad
problem Is to pass a law legalizing railway
pools and enforce the maintenance of the
tariffs established by the pools. Western
managers are more conservative in theil
views and are inclined to look more favora.
bly, upon proposed legislation, thinking tina
a fair and reasonable Interstate law will
prevent more onerous State legislation.
Ihe only exception they take to the pro.
posed law is the provision making the charge
per mile for short hauls the same as for long
They think the adoption of this provision
of the proposed bill would inflict great inju.
ry upon all lines, as it would enable water
ways to monopolize business. They think il
Congress would leave out this provision and
give the rest of the conference bill fair tri
al 1t might result in doing away with most Of
the evils now complained of, and enable
railroads to maintain fair and reasonable
rates and avoid the necessity of maintaining
pools and effecting combinations for mutua
protection.

The Tariff Question.
Some Of the House Republican leaders
have decided in conference that it is expe-
dent to oppose the consideration of the
Morrison bill. Judge Kelley says he does
not think any tariff legislation probable at
this session. Mr.. Hewitt is evidently of this
opinion, and the bill which he introduced
yesterday is based upon the assumption that
there will be no tariff legislation. One of
the leading members of the Ways and Means
Committee says that the House may take up
the Morrison bill and send some bin to the
Senate; that the Senate will strike out the
House bill and return measure which will
put sugar on the free list and abolish the to-
bacco tax, and that with that same issue be-
fore the House the Forty-ninth Congress
will probably adjourn.
The neuocrats and the Tariff.
About a dozen Democratic members of
Congress held conference tonight at the
rooms OF Representative McAdoo in the
hieBS I1Ouec 10 COuSl1cT Tue Ldrl1 question.
A number Of other members sent word they
were in full accord with the understood OBJ
lect OF the conference. but were unable to
represent. Among those present were Repre-
sentatives Randall of Pennsylvania, Green
ana Hitchcock OF New Jersey, Warren and
Faron of Ohio, Marter of Alabama, Merri-
man of New York, and Wallace Of Louisiana.
After a discussion Of about two hours the
following propositions were unanimously
adopted:
First-They stand opposed to entering on
a consideration Of the pending Morrison
bill
Second-They favor a reduction Of re-
venues at this session so as to prevent the
accumulation OF q surplus in the Treasury,
but insist it shall be effected by some meas
| ure which shall embrace repeal or reduc-
| tion Of certain Of the internal revenue taxes.
Third-They favor an immediate change
| in the administrative features of the exist
| ing tariff law, separate and apart from any
| general revision of the tariff.
| A further conference will be held before

The Maine colony Bound to TopoIo-
bampo Bay.

A stan correspondent Of the Boston Herald
writes from the City Of Mexico as follows:
notice that there Is much excitement IN
the coast towns of Maine regarding the pro-
iect for cOmmunistic colony at Topolo-
bampO bay, and that many families there
are selling all they possess TO get the funds
TO establish themselves on the shores Of the
Gulf of California. The whole scheme Is a
remarkable example Of the enthusiasm a
bold and earnest man can tnfuse into fol-
lowing of rather prOsaic people. Topolo-
bampO Is no paradise. IL Is barren country
where everything has got TO be created. Its
climate NAV be all that II Is said TO be, and
IL is possible there may be little sickness
among the cOlOnists, but II they escape the
coast feyers and the dangerous perniciOus
fevers in their first two years Of life ON the
shores Of Topolobampo, people here who
know the country will be surprised ID
strikes me, too, that the plan Of the colony
has little too much government contract
business In II. The colony Is TO make army
uniforms on contract and do other things for
the government which, fear, il will not be
able 10 make much money out OF.
The climatic change from the bleak. but
healthy coast Of old Maine to the shores OF
the Mexican State of SinalOa Is very de-
cided one, and many must fall I'm. Indeed
