CHICAGO, Jan. lathe general managers
of the lines west, northwest and southwest
of Chicago, who have been striving for two
weeks to agree on plan for the formation
of passenger traffic agreement in their
territory, completed their labors this even
ing. The result was the adoption of the
plan proposed last September, with various
amendments and notifications. The dis
cussion in regard to commissions was
settled by fixing nominal sum to be paid
Eastern agents for the sale of tickets over
the Western lines. This may be subject to
further amendment in case the presidents
should agree to abolish commissions.

Railroad Commissioners last evening. 1t is
a petition to the Interstate-commerce Com
missioners to appoint date for hearing
in the matter of complaint against the
st. Paul-Chicago roads for alleged viola
ton of the Interstate law. The complaint
made by the commissioners recites viola
lions of four articles of the law, and the
Interstate-commerce Commission is called
upon to investigate the charges because it
has full power to call for persons and pa
pers, which the State commission cannot
do. The violations of the law, the
commissioners say, are secret and cannot
be proven by the State Railroad Commits
sion. The commissioners ask that a
hearing be held at which the roads shall be
required to show thei. earnings and dis
bursements since July 1, 1888; that the
proper officers be required to show what
passes and free tickets have been issued,
and what commissions paid to scalpers since
the date named, and that the officers of the
companies be required to appear at the
hearing and show such books. President

The Legal Authorities of the Senate.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The visitor to the
galleries in the Senate can readily see who
are the lawyer-leaders on the floor of the
chamber. In front of the desks of two
Senators. on either side of the chamber, are
great stacks of the Revised Statutes and
copies of the Constitution printed in large
type and bound in calf. On the Republican
side the books are under and before the
desks of Senators Edmunds and Evarts.
On the Democratic side Morgan and Cock
rell have their desks decorated with library
attractions. Whenever Senator on the
Republican side gets into controversy
involving a statutory or constitutional
question and he requires a book for i'm
mediate reference, a page darts to the
desk OF Evarts or Edmunds and the volume
is forthcoming. The same is true on the
Democratic side, except the page goes to
the desk of Morgan or Cockrell. The four
Senators named are the recognized leaders
when questions involving written laws are
under discussion. Senator Edmunds more
frequently than Senator Evarts discusses
questions in law before the Senate, and Mr..
Morgan talks more on this subject than all
the other men on his side of the chamber
put together.
