BUSINESS MEN TALK.
They Give Their Views in Regard to
the Carrying Trade.

NEW YORK, May 10-After listening 10 the
views of railroad presidents for the past four
days the Senate committee, which is investiRat-
ing the workings Of the interstate commerce
law, at the Fifth Avenue hotel this morning
settled itself to hear the opinions of some rep
resentative business men of this city.
The first witness called was President Charles
8. Smith, Of the chamber Of commerce Mr..
Smith referred to the fact that railroad building
In India and about the Black Sea ports was
being pushed rapidly, and greatly feared that
under present conditions 1t would not be long
before America lost what little export trade Il
had. He even advocated the carrying of occa-
sional shipments Of grain by the railroads at
less than cost OF carrying when this might be
necessary.
In regard to competition with the English
steamship lines Mr.. Smith thought there was
small hope Of successful competition unless. as
in the case with the English, French and Ger
man lines, the American lines receive sub
sidy from the government. "We have done it
for the railroads; why should not we do it for
the steamship lines? We must look beyond
the railroads and toward the steamship. unless
we want to see our flag disappear altogether. {"
J. ID. Herrick, chairman of the Interstate
commerce committee of the Produce Exchange,
succeeded Mr.. Smith. He prefaced his testi-
mony by saying that he differed materially from
the opinions held by the previous witness. The
interstate law, he said was good one in many
respects, and the position of the merchants
under it was better than while pooling" was
In vogue. One bad thing about the law, how
ever, was that the penaltiesfor violation were not
severe enough. There was tendency, too, to dis
criminate against seaboard points in favor of
foreign ports, as, for instance, recently, where
the rate from Milwaukee to Liverpool was 10
cents, while to New York it was 33 cents.
Without the Erie canal rates would not be as
regular as they are; the canal acts as q regu-
lator, and, in my opinion, we should not re-
strict the Canadian roads for that same reason;
we need them as regulator, but they should
be under the same government control as our
own roads.

THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR.
Judge Bradley Sentences the Convicted
Housebreakers and their ssFence.o

At noon in the Criminal Court to-day, Judge
Bradley imposed sentences in the cases Of Geo.
Parker, convicted of HOUSEKEEPING at the resi-
dences Mr.. A. T. Britton, Lieut.. A. c. Tyler
and Senator Dawes; Lewis wayman, alias Pat
Wayman, for HOUSEKEEPING at Mr.. Britton's,
and Columbus sewall for the same offense at
the residence of Senator Dawes, and James
Waters for receiving stolen goods, proceeds of
the Dawes and Tyler robberies.
Waters was first called, and the court, re-
marking that he believed in the doctrine that
the receiver Of stolen goods, with the knowl-
edge that they were stolen, was worse than the
thief. sentenced HIM to the extent Of the law,
on one count-three years at hard labor in the
Albany penitentiary.
Columbus Sewall was next called. The court
said that he was satisfied with the verdict and
it was source of regret knowing his respecta-
bic connections 1t was his duty to impose the
sentence, which was eight years in the Albany
penitentlary.
TEN YEARS FOR wAYMAN
Lewis Wayman, alias Pat Wayman, was the
next. He said that as he was convicted of
house-breakin2 it was no use to make any plea.
but he was not guilty of HOUSEKEEPING, al
though he had some of the articles He said
that he was not the desperate he had been re-
presented. The court said he had been prop
erly convicted. and it seemed since the arrest
of the parties house-bresking had to some de-
gree ceased. Society must be protected, and
the sentence in one count in the Indictment
was ten years in the Albany penitentiary. In
the other count sentence was suspended, and
for this Wayman said, Thank you
PARKER GETS rwENTY-oNE YEARS.
Next, George Parker, the principal, was
called, and he protested his innocence of en-
tering any one of the three houses, nor did he
know of any Of them except that of Lieut..
Tyler's. and he did what he could to tell where
the property was.
The court remarked that he was a dangerous
character; that he had had fair trial. and had
been convicted on six counts in all, but that he
would suspend the sentence on the larceny
counts He imposed sentence in the Tyler
case of ten years. in the Dawes six and in the
Britton case five years, making twenty-one
years in all.
The prisoners were each brought singly and
closely guarded for, with the experience Of the
recent attempt Of Parker to escape and from
some Information obtained it was believed that
some if not all had made plot to make break
for liberty,
