THE INTERSTATE LAW.
Its Merits and Dement'S
Fully Discussed.
CHAUNCEY DEPEW'S OPlNloNc'
He Regards "Pooling" as an mas
pensable Element in Railroad
Management.
CRAUNCEY DEPEW'S OPlNlONS

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
New YORK, May THE Senate Com
mittee, investigating the working OF the
Interstate Commerc, Law, resumed lie
lsbors ,h's morning. Chaunoey M. De-
pew. of the New York Central, was the
first witness. He gave his opinion ofthe
working of the Interstate Law, and in
answer to questions as to what amend
ment he could suggest to protect the
American roads, said: The roads doing
business in this country, whether Next
can or Canadian, should be made to COM
DIV with the conditions of the law as the
American roads do. At present it is very
easv for Canadian roads to get large
quantities of freight by means of
rebates. "Pooling" he considered
good thing and should have
been permitted. The tendency Of
all roads is to lower freight rates, and no
amount of "pooling" could affect this
tendency. The Interstate Commerce
Bill. by making roads publish their rates,
had given the stronger roads more bust
ness and taken it away from weaker
roads proportionately. "The Interstate
law" he added, "will never be effective
or operative until in come form or other
you have legalized pooling"
Senator Platt-''Don't you think it
would have been better if goods destined
to points within the United States bor-
der had never been allowed to go through
Canada"
Derew-'If you 60 back to that, yes;
but the thing is now an existing fact"
During the discussion on the merits of
"pooling." Senator Harris ask ed whether
the 100000, testified to by President
King as the animal share of the Erie
road, was not wiring from the pockets Of
the shippers.
81 do not understand it that way" re-
piled Depew. 1.-THE Erie could not get
the rates. Our road could, for instance
and therefore it was a question whether
we should pay it satisfactory amount to
maintain the rates or be plunged in a
ruinoua war;"
Depew was followed by General
Manager Joseph Hixon, of the Grand
Trunk. Hixon described the road and
its terminals, and, after some question
ing, finally acknowledged that the Grand
Trunk practically controlled the rates be-
tween Chicago and Portland. Their
business in the United States, witness
said, was carried on in accordance with
the spirit of the Interstate law, and
they made no increase in local rates to
recoup them on possible losses on longer
hauls.
Chairman Cullom asked: "Suppose
we made it obligatory for the Canadian
roads to obey the Interstate Law"
81 think that would be an international
question:" replied Hixson.
The last witness of the day was First
Vice President FELTON,, of the Erie road.
His discourse was largely explanatory OF
the Erie's methods, and its losses since
the adjustment of "pools." In his opin-
ion legalzed "pool," under control of
the Interstate Commission, would be an
excellent thing for both shippers and
railroads,

The New Fast Overian d.

SAN Francisco, May The new over
land time table, from here to the East,
will go into effect, as announced, on Sun
day next. As now arranged the fast $50
P. NJ. express train will reach Council
Bluffs at 8 P. NJ. on the third day, permit
ting close connections to be made only
with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railroad, whose train for Chicago
will leave at $50. The Chicago trains OF
the other Iowa lines all leave earlier at
present, but it is thought very probably
that they will make change in order to
connect with the trains of the new Union
Pacific card. Chicago will be reached by
the st. Paul train at 215 P. M. the day
following.

Their Cases Come Up BEFORE the
supreme Court of the State.
SACRAMENTO, May IA writ of habeas
corpus in the cases Of the twenty China
men, arrested at the Omega Hydraulic
mine, near Emigrant Gap, last April,
we're made returnable this afternoon be-
fore the Supreme Court in this city.
District Attorney Forbes appeared for
Yuba county, and Attorney Stone, of
Stockton, for the petitioners. TIE origi-
nal complaintrea I'm the Supreme
Court of the county of Yuba,"
and the main reliance OF
the defense was upon the use of the word
"supreme" where superior" should
have been used, and Stone argued that
the proceedings were illegal, as the stat
utes insist upon correct statement OF
the title of the court and of the action.
Chief Justice Beatty referred to the claim
of Stone as mere quibbling, since the
proper name of the Yuba court appeared
upon the cover of the complaint. Justices
Work and Patterson differed from this
view. Forbes asked for five days to file
a brief, and the request was granted.

ANOTHER CHICAGO OUTRAGE.

fully Mismanaged.

CHICAGO, May IA bill was fed in
the Circuit Court by number OF promi-
nent citizens to-day asking for the ap-
pointment of receiver for the Home for
incurables, and an injunction against the
present managers. The bill also asks for
the removal Of President Higenbotham,
of the institution, and Mrs. Barlow, the
matron, for gross violation OF the trust
reposed in them. 1t is claimed that
helpless inmates have been frightiully
abused and tortured. Thirty cases are
cited, some of them too horrible 1or pe-
lief. The matron and attendants are
charged with causing the death OF some
of the patients. President Higen botham
alleges that the charges are malicious,
and will be refuted. The case promises
to be q sensational one.
