Important Matters Dealt With at
Yesterdays Convention.
WASHINGTON, March AT the morn
ing session of the convention of State
Railroad Commissioners to-day, resoiu-
tions were adopted declaring it compe-
tent for Congress and the Legislatures OF
the various States to regulate, within
their respective spheres, the rates of
freight and passenger traffic and travel,
subject only to legal and constitutional
limitations; and that uniformity is de-
sirable in congressional and State legisla-
ton on the subject of rates, to the end
that the public regulation of rates may
be practically reached by active CO.
operation between State and interstate
commissions.
On the convention reassembling in the

which was unanimously adopted, that a
committee be appointed to urge upon

Canadian Pacific

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The Pas
senger Department of the Southern Pa
cific Company was served with notice
to-day that on March Goth the Seattle,
Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad will
completeits connection with the Canadian
Pacific.

Seattle the Northern Pacific tracks must
be traversed. From Seattle the Lake
Shore runs up to the Dominion boundary,
crossing it and striking the Canadian
Pacific tracks at Mission, forty miles east
of Vancouver.
This connection renders circular all

a possibility, as the Canadian trains can
be run clear through from Quebec TO
Portland, San Francisco, New Orleans,
New York, and back to Quebec.

He Expresses Himself on the Subject
of Tariffs.
LONDON, March AT a banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce tonight, Lord
Salisbury said the hostile tariffs and ex-
cess OF protection feeling were only
clouds on bright outlook for commerce.
In America, however, ra-protection
has been changed by the people in the
last election. Reverting to the labor
question, he said that the eight-hour pro-
posal attacked vital principle of indi-
vidual liberty.
Parliament had no right to interfere
with adults; he would be no party to leg
islation to tie an industrial effort or cranp
the freedom Of trades. If the eight-hour
day was conceded to miners it would be
impossible to withhold it from other
trades, and once we pass rubicon sep
aeating us from the domain of socialism
our commercial and industrial suprem-
acy would be lost and difficult to recap
ture.

chasers is kept secret, but Lew Meyer OF
