NO JURISDICTION
State Courts Cannot Regulate Rates On
l&is rstate Commerce Roads.

I@iEr state mme Roads.
CH' }, Nov. 30.-In the case of
Swii : Co. against the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad company, Judge
Grosscup has sustained the demurrer.
This decision is regarded as important
from the bearing it will have ON inter-
state III litigation. Action was
commenced separately in the state court
more than a year ago by several firms
for the recovery of excessive charges.
These rates have meanwhile been paid
under protest. The suit of Swift vs.. the
Reading company was then removed to
the United States courts. The fed
eral court sustains the demurrer
on the ground that the state court
has no jurisdiction to determine
the reasonableness of rates on interstate
commerce. There is no common law of
the United States which controls rates
and which the common law of the states
does not apply outside those states. Ac-
ton must hereafter go to the federal
courts where the road have their man
ag0ment located. 1t is believed the
packers will make a test case of this is
sue III an appeal Of SWife I Coz case in
the appellate and if Necessary the su-
premc curt.

who bravely strove to uphold the ban
ner of the exchange. Not an offer or
a bid was made. The brokers sat
around and discussed the matter in
most depressed manner. But there was
unanimity of feeling with regard TO the
result. This feeling is that the great
reduction in the price of silver means
the closing down of the low-grade and
many of the high-grade silver properties
of the state. In an interview OH the
financial situation Senator Wolcott
said:
) ..If an extra session Of congress should
be called today. the Sherman law would
not be repealed. Times are dark
enough to indicate that stroke of light
must break in from some direction soon.
