NOT A MONOPOLY.

The President OF the Western I'M
ion Talks On the Interstate
Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Dr. Noryin
Green, president of the Western Union
Telegraph company, addressed the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce
this morning on the Spo0ner interstate
telegraph bill He said he did not ap-
pear to oppose a fair and reasonable en-
actment for the regulation Of the tele-
graph. If the telegraph was commerce
in the constitutional sense and the su-
preme court had decided that its buSi-
ness is commerce. then there could be
no question Of the power of congress to
enact such law, such as that proposed.
Ordinarily his company would desire ito
be let alone. but under the circum-
stances it was not averse to such an
enactment as proposed, with certain OBJ
iectionabie features stricken out. He was
led to this conclusion from the fact that
his company OWNS and operates four
fifthS, perhaps Seyen-eighths, Of all the
telegraphS in the United States and is,
therefore, al apparent monopoly, while
in point of fact, it has no exclusive
franchiSe-no legal privileges that any
body else cannot get. The elementary
patents have expired, and except as to
some improved methods, anybody might
build and operate telegraph. But the
telegraph has drifted into combination
not from the grasping efforts of any one
man or set of men, but of necessitous
laws of trade. The rates had been
cheapened and the business greatly i'm
proved in its facilities and inpromptneSs

Be Completed This Summer.
CHICAGO, March ga meeting of
the directors of the Rock Island road
and its Western extensions was to have
been held to-day to approve the official
maps of the proposed line to Colorado
Springs to be constructed this summer,
but owing to a deal made with the

The Kansas Pacific branch of the Union
Pacific had surveyed line from Colby,
Kan, to River Bend, Col, which it pro-
posed to build this summer to straighten
out long curve and avoid some very
heavy grades on the main line. The
new road of the Rock Island would
have practically paralleled this for a
length of 1870 miles, and in order to pre-
vent it the Rock Island has bought the
rights of way acquired by the Union Pa
cific, and will construct the line on its
own account, although it will be Oper-
ated by both companies, the Union Pa
cific paying percentage on the cost Of
construction and valuation, for the
privilege. The Rock Island will COM
plete its line to Colorado Springs by

impossible to let the parties know the
charges. They were doing the Lest they
could. The president expressed the
hope that the association would go slow.
as he had great difficulty in bringing
some of his party up to his IDEAS of
