DECIDED for the Railroads.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-The SUI
preme court to-day handed down two
decisions affecting the rights of railway
commissions to tax tariff rates for rail-
road companies. They are the celebra-
ted switching" and milk rate" cases
from Minnesota. The opinions are
alike, and reverse the state supreme
court decisions, which sustained tho
action of the railroad commission in
fixing perenptory rates. The court
lays down the point that the railroad
company IS entitled judicial determi-
nation of what is a reasonable and
equal" charge for transportation. The
opinions were rendered by Justice
Blatc hford. In the switching case the
Eastern Minnesota railroad refused to
reduce its charge for switching cars in
Minneapolis from sl.5O to 81 per car as
ordered by the Minnesota commits
sion.
In the second case ...e commission

sation for the transportation of milk

Paul or Minneapolis, the former being
eventy-one and the latter fifty-six
miles away from Minneapolis. The
railroad refused TO comply with the
commissioners orders and contended
/ that the same rate for both distances
was unreasonable and contrary TO the
statute of Minnesota. Justice Batch

and Justice Bradley delivered a dissent
