SCOPE or THE INTERSTATE LAW.
TT is no PROTECT THE PUBLIC ONLY.

RAILROADS MAY CUT EACH OTHERS TTfR0ATS
WITHOUT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.
Washington, Sept. 10--Thc Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day, through Chairman Cooley, filed
an elaborate opinion in tho matter OF The Chicago,
81. Paul and Kansas City Railway Company This
company I'm June last Informed the Commission that
owing 70 the action OF competing lines covering rates
between Chicago and ST. Paul and Minneapolis II hal
been obliged 10 reduce ifs own rates between those
points below the rates which IL could afford 10 accept
intermediate points so that upon rs line there
would be greater charges made upon the shorter
haul than upon the longer In the same direction, and
II stated that II complaint should be made Of this 10
would undertake to Justify its action under the inter-
state Commerce law. Tho Commission fhcrrupon
made an order for hearing TO be had at Dubuque.
On the hearing the respondent company evidence
tending to show that the acticp II had taken forced
upon II by the Burlington and Northern Railroad Com
many which had made a rate between st. Paul ard
Minneapolis below that which would be compensatory,
and II produced evidence tending strongly 10 show
that the Burlington and Northern on the rate II was
making was not paying operating expenses Tho
Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway Company
also appeared and offered similar evidence.
The Burlington and Northern, on the other hand.
was represented by It's general officers and Insisted
that its rates were remuneravc, and showed that 10
was accepting them without making at any point the
that it, receipts were sufficient 10 cover operating
expenses not strong
The respondent company insisted that the Commits
sion should either sanction tho rates IL was making
10 the intermediate stations between It's trrmni, or
that II should order tho Burlington and Northern TO
increase its rates and II insisted that the provision
of the Interstate Commerce law that all charges shall
be reasonab and Just not complied with unless
they wcrc reasonable and just considered from the
standpoint Of the railroad company as well as from
that Of the general public.
The principal question, therefore, raised Deioro
tho Commission at the hearing was whether 1t had tho
power TO compel the Burlington and Northern 10 IN
crease its rates to a rcmuneratIve point. The Com
mission dsclaIms possessing any such power. Tho
further question was discussed whether the fact mat
tho burlington and Northern made rates which were
iinre asonably low made ont the disslmilar crcun-
stances and conditions under the fourth section OF no
act which would cntltlc the respondent company 10
make q greater charge the shorter haul mo
Commission docs not assent to this view.
Incidentally. IN discussing the case, me Commls,
sion SAYS that II does not understand on what ground
the Burlington ard Northern while Insisting thaf us
rates from Chicago TO ST. Paul arc remlneraUve can
Justify charging the rates for one-tI,i OF ,No-
thirds the distance. Upon us own showing ihesc r~cs
seem 10 be excessive.

NETS DESTROYED THAT MUST BE PAID FOR

watertown, ~ " May 23.-Judge Williams
has Just rendered elaborate opinion in
the case of LawtoD against Steele, which
was an action brought by fishermen residing on
Black River Bay against william N. Steele, State fish
and game protector for the seizure and destruction Of
nets worth S2lG the property of the plaintiffs, which
had been set in Black River Bay The plaintiffs claim
that Chapter 114 laws OF 1856 which prohibited fishing
with nets between Pillar Point and the south boundary
line Of Jefferson County, did not prohibit fishing in
Black River Bay, for the reason that the Legislature
had expressly mentioned in the act Henderson Bay and
So by implication, had excluded all other bays. They
also claimed that the act forbddng fishing in part Of
tho public waters of Jefferson County unconstitu
tona for the reason that prohibited what had other
wise been lawful occupation, for the benefit Of
special Glass; the sportsmen, and not for the public
good These points both decided In favor OF the
defendants BY this decision while the president Of

Commissioners are released the game protector VIII
