NEBRASKA COMPLAINTS.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Holds n Session at Lincoln, Neb.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
Holds II Session at Lincoln, Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb, March 22-The Inter-
State Commerce Commls sion held a session
here yesterday. Commissioners Cooley,
Bragg, Morrison and Walker are in attend
ance, and the sessions are held in the
United States Court rooms. There are five
or six cases brought by Lincoln firms
and the Board of Trade against the Pacific
roads and their connections. The gist Of
the charge was that these roads charged
greater rate on sugar and canned goods
from west coast points to Lincoln than TO
Omaha, while there is very little difference
in the distance, and over some lines it is
less to Lincoln. The testimony showed
that all goods since the National law went
into effect, were billed TO Omaha, aud re-
billed from there to Lincoln at the local
rate. Also that before the taking effect OF
the law the rate was the same to both
places, and there was fat rate of so cents
per cwt. on sugar
Several large Lincoln jobbers were ex-
amined and testified as to the value of
their business, the rate paid and the effect
OF the alleged discrimination against them.
1t was disclosed that the Chicago, Bur-
Pacific business during last year, alleging
that the new law made it undesirable. Tho
Union Pacific endeavored to show that by
its line it was several miles farther to Lin
coin, that Lincoln was on branch line and
that the cost Of laying car down in Lin
coin was in consequence increased.
