President Adams Before the Senate,
rial Committee.

New YORK, May S.-The senate COM
mittee investigating the workings of the
inter state m law and tbs Cana
dian roads doing business in this country,
resumed this morning. The first witness
called was President Charles Francis
Adams, of the Union Pacific. Adams
thought the inter state law IN
many cases cruel to those who obeyed it
most; those who evaded it profited. 81
should like, however, to see it universally
obeycd and given a fair trial. he said
and since January / | really believe the
law has been better obeYed than ever be

shippers who heretofore practically dictat-
ed their own terms, can do so no longer.
The interstate commissioners, [ think,
are doing good work. The greatest serv
ice the commissioners could do the rail
roads IN general, would be to prosecute
some Of the offenders. Nothing would
have a better effect on the situation"
Adams thought that a common railroad
law between Canada and the United
States and a legalized pool would be a
good thing. and would tend to bring about
. soiution ol tne present rOLDle IN refer
ssnce to the Canadian roads.
You think the Interstate law a good
thing. Where does all the opposition
come from2" asked Senator Blair.
You must remember the country has
been built up on a system of distribution,
which the inter state law shakes to
its foundations. The long and short haul
clause gives in its effect to small cities
many of the advantages heretofore exclu
sively enjoyed by larger cities, and in con-
sequence in a city like San Francisco the
| opposition is very strong.

Chlet among Boston's capitalists ia
Montgomery Sears, whose vast hold,
fngs OF valuable real estate give him
a claim to be called the Aston of the
r ldern Athens. He inherited 80. Oo0.-
ooo'ooo a few years ago from his
father, Joshua Sears, who came to
boston without a penny and estab-
lished a small grocery business. Bv
astonishing parsimony, backed with
remarkable business instinct, old Josh
rapidly piled up thousands. The land
he bought multiplied in value, and it
was not long beore he found himself
a millionaire. Already old, he began
TO LOOK about him for a wife, and final
~ selected his ~housekeeper. When he
died he left his money SO that his SON
should never come into the bulk of the
estate providing the young man mere
ly with a pitiful $25, 600 a year. This
did not suit Monty at all, who there.
upon began proceedings to set the will
aside, and finally succeeded. with the
aid OF skillful lawyers, in getting hold
OF the entire property. He has added
to it considerably since, and his
fortune seems not unlikely to
compare favorably during his
own lifetime with the possessions of
any one of the three great Astor land
holders. MIR. Sears belongs to all the
swell clubs, keeps a steam yacht and
is an amateur in %violins, of which he
has a valuable collection.

least $40, 900, 900. He is likewise a
member of the fashionable clubs and
keeps a stable full of expensive horses.
As might be imagined, his father was

in the absorbing occupation of making
money to be much of swell. Young
