W. H. Remington OF Omaha called at THE
BEE bureau this afternoon.
w. Il. PEBBLES left for his home at Pender
today.
Democrats in the house and senate are
going back to their old doctrine that all lands
west of the Tooth meridian should be with
drawn from public entry till all lines east Of
the line, both public and private, have been
properly inhabitated for agricultural and
other purposes. There is no doubt that If
they had majority of congress and the
presidency they would accomplish this Oh
iect, placing the far western lands into re-
tirement under the arid land act. This
would enhance the value of lands in the cen
trail states and south.
1t is understood that the senate will this
week take up the conference report on the
dependent pension bill and agree to it. The
house adopted the report last week, but the
senate has delayed final action until the sill
yer bill was gotten out OF the way.
There seems to be very wide divergence
of opinion held by members of the house com
mittee on judiciary respecting the propriety
of adopting the Wilson original package
amendment to the interstate commerce law.
Some of the stauuchest prOhiOtionists in the
house are not so eager for the amendment as
they were some time since, believing that it's
adoption will result in the final overthrow of
the prohibition law. And then the high
license principle appears TO be gaining ground
so rapidly that the amendment may fail in
the house, even though il should be reported.
The most weighty objection laid against
the Wilson amendment is that
it carries the statoa back to the
days of confederation and gives them so much
states right power that if it should be
adopted there would bea constant CentraiZa-
tion of power in the states, eventually result
ing dsastrously to the federal interests OF
the country.
There was great deal of talk around the
capitol today about the prospects of the fed
I,I,, Il,
house republican caucus, but there are few
who believe it can go through the senate.
The democrats intend to talk it to death if
possible, while il is an open secret that sew
eral republican senators oppose ii upon gen
eral principles, and especially because they
believe it sectional. PERRY S. HEATH.

WAsHINGToN, June !1.-Opinions as to the
possible action of the mouse on the senate
silver bill differ very widely. There is a
belief on the part of some that before any
action is taken, a caucus will be held to de
eide upon the course to be pursued. There is
n sentiment even among the friends of the
bill rs it passed the senate, that it will get
into conference and that out of that confer
ence will be involved Il bill providing for the
purchase of !, 100000 ounces of silver monthly,
the certificates issued in payment thereof to
be legal tender and not redeemable in bullion.
Such IL measure it is generally believed
would receive the presidents approval. The
free coinage advocates express the opinion
that the house will pass the senate bill.

CINCINNATI, o., June 17.-At the annual

Chairman Walker Gives His Views

CmcAGO, June Especial Telegram to
The BEE Chairman Walker of the inter-
state commerce commission is thorough con-
vert to the legaizing of division of traffic.
Said he today: 'Division of traffic is the
direct opposite of pooling. Pooling combiucs
traffic and division of traffic is of course tho
contrary. Should division of traffic be legal
lied, and be under the supervision of the
interstate commerce commission, / cannot
conceive of any possible objection to tho
plan.
"The history of rate-making can be taken
to show that no unreasonable rates will be
made, nor would the commission allow of any
unreasonable rates. Beginning in 1875, tho
rate per ton per mile was 80 cents on eastern
lines and 36 on western lines There has been
a constant and gradual reduction year by
year until III 1883 rates reached the average
of 900 in the east and 1884 in the west.
"The commission could start on this basis
and rates could never be raised, while conn
petition will surely tend to reduce them, as
they have been every year except 1872 since
1865: There is popular objection against
pooling but under the proposed plans the in-
tercstS of all parties are cOnscrved.n

assured a reporter that neither he nor tho

CHICAGO, June l7.-[Special Telegram to
The BEE "A local paper says: --latest re-
ports concerning the proposed Toledo Il West
ern railroad are to the effect that the Cana
dian Pacific is behind the scheme 1t is said
they arc not content with having to rely for
their Chicago business on mere traffic ar
rangcmcnt with the Wabash railroad. They
want Chicago road that win be entirely
under their own control and consequently
they have adopted the Toledo & Western and
will furnish the capital required to build it,"
However this may be, President Hadlcy
that, too, in short order. He says he has
S3,OOO,OOO cash already on hand and can get
whatever additional sum is required to build
the road as fast as it is needed. This is said
to be the real secret of the aggressive policy
that the Lake Shore road has recently as
sumcd in regard to east bound rates. While
it is nominally fighting the Grand Trunks
differential, its war is really being made on
the Canadian Pacific.
That road is securing traffic
which the Lake Shore considers should go
over its lines, and it wants to show its YOUTH
full rival that it will have to fight for every
pound it gets and carry all given it at a loss
or leave the field clear to its old competitor.
The Toledo ~ Western railroad parallels the
Lake Shore for u considerable distance and
runs through a territory which the older
road considers belong TO itself. The same
policy is to be pursued toward IL as the New
York Central followed i'll regard to the West
Shore.
