Recomno ondations In ItS Annual Report.
Tho Law Has Been Beneilclal.
New YoRK, Jan. lin their second
annual report the Interstate Commits
sioners say that outside ofroadS affected
by ocean competition between tho At
lantic and Pacific, the long and short
haul clause has been fairly well obeyed.
The commission insists that It has no
evidence, In spite OF railroad protests,
that tho law has been otherwise than
beneficial TO the roads. The abolislling
OF unjust Determinations, no matter
how II affected earnings, was for com.
mon Justice and public morality. The
losses OF 1888 were not duo TO the act,
One cause was the "Q" strike. New
and parallel lines materially injured the
net revenues aud ratio wars have been
very serious. They, however, were not
the result Of the act. The commission
was unable to get evidences Of the
alleged secret cuts In the late trunk line
fight. The losses have been mainly due
10 violations Of the act. II the roads
would provide evidence Of such viola.
tions, say the commissioners, II would
tend to tho common benefit. The re-
mort adds that tho one way TO prevent
tho payment Of unearned dividends Il
TO make such action criminal oflense
Tho power TO cut rates, It is declared
should be taken from subordlnateS, aud
responsible officers should DO charged
with all rate making. Payments oI
commissions 10 obtain business Is de-
plored, and Congress will DO asked by
Inc commission TO take CognlEanCe ol
this particular evil. II is also Contended
that notices Of cuts In rates, as well as Ia
advances OF rltes, should DO given some
days In advance OF action.

The report Of tho Interstate Com.
merce Commission shows that on 1000
miles OF road for the year ending June
80, 1888, the stock aud bonds were OF
equal par value, but on 81 per cent OF
the stock no dividend was paid, and on
20 per cent Of the bonds no interest,
while the proportion paying less than
four per cent was GS per cent oil the stock
and 81 per cent OF the bonds.
The decision Of Judge Barret, holding
that the sugar trust is illegal, is OF very
large Importance. No change occurs as
yet in prices OF sugars and It may be pre-.
mature to suppose that other forms OF
agreenlent escaping the legal objections
found In this case, may not continue to
control markets. There are signs In
Europe that the copper trust is trying to

prices for commodities as a whole is still
downward. Reports from interior towns

Interest in the book centres in dis
patch dated October "a to Mr.. Phelps, in
which, observing that in the judgment
OF tho government, Lord saCkville's
conduct had ceased to be OF importance,
President Cleveland having already sent
him his passports, Lord Salisbury con.
traverts the idea that the acceptance
or retention Of a minister Is
a question to be determined
solely with or without the reasons rs.
signed by the government to which he
isaccredlted. Inthis matter Lord Sails
bury says general principles arc OF
more importance than the particular
case under discussion.

WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. l1.-Hardly
had the Chaplain closed his petition with
the "amen" in the House when Mr..
Weaver, OF Iowa, came forward with q
motion that when the House adjourned
to-day II be to meet oil Monday next.
Mr.. Crisp and Mr.. Weaver were ap.
pointed tellers and the count proceeded
slowly. '.
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, inquired whether
the object OF this motion from the Dem
ocratiC side was to enable that party TO
hold a caucus.
The speaker-The Chair has no in
formation on the SUBJECT.
Mr.. Crisp-This motion Is not from
the Democratic side. The gentleman Is
mistaken. It's only from one man.
While tho count was being taken an
earnest consultation was held at the
speakers desk, participated in by the
Speaker, Messrs. Randall, Mills, DoCkerv,
McCrea and MCShane. AS result Of
this conference, and after the count lad
proCeGdGd- for half an hour without q
quorum making its appearance, Mr..
Randall demanded the yeas aud nays,
and they were ordered.
The motion having been defeated
yeas, 81 nays, 22S-Mr. Weaver, who
had voted In the negative, moved re-
consideration.
Mr.. Randall made tho point Of order
that II was not In order TO move to re.
consider a vote upon motion to adjourn
to u day certain, and tho point was sus'
tained by the Speaker
Mr., Weaver then moved 10 take q rc.
cess until $3.50, but hewas again blocked
by Mr.. Randall with q point Of order.
He held that the motion was In the
naturc Of business and, therefore, not In
order until the journal had been read.
The Speaker decided the point to be
well takOn.
The journal was then read, and at Ia
conclusion Mr.. Weaver began oncoinore
his round Of dilatory motions. These
were finally interrupted by Mr.. plbblp
OF South Carolina, who came forward
with conference report upon the Sen.
ate bill forthe erection OF q public build
