WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The following
is synopsis of the seventh annual re-
port of the interstate commerce COM
mission:
Attention is called to, the peculiar
office of common carriers and the de-
pendence of every occupation upon
their facilities; the right of every per-
son to receive just and equal treatment
In all that pertains to public
transportation and the paramount
purpose of regulating enactments to
secure to the people the actual
enjoyment of this right. There must
be common public rate, prima facle
just and reasonable, which measures
the lawful charges of the carrier. The
enactment of the long-and-short-hau
clause was deemed public necessity.
1t is nothing more than an extension to
places of the rule forbidding unjust dis
elimination between persons. The
operation of the long-and-short-hau
provision is stated to have been salts
| factory under the construction put upon
| it by the commission and accepted gen.
orally by the carriers. But the effect OF
a decision of the
COURT OF APPEALS
in an Iowa case, wherein the word
cline" in the statute was given a
wholly different meaning from that
which the commission had held was the
| proper construction, has been startling.
This court decision has been follow ed
and expanded by other courts. These
decisions hold in effect that one railroad
is line, and that another road is a diff
ferent line, and that these railroads
are still another line, and so on; and
that rates on one line are not to be com
pared with rates on another. The COM
mission holds that the word "line"
means a physical line, the tracks
of one or more railroads ant
that line may be extended
over other roads by simply con-
Meeting the tracks. 1t is alleged thai
tramp" vessels on the lakes, operating
under fiuctuating rates. prevent the
"reguar'lin from publishing through
rates in connection with rail carriers
But certain methods pursued by the
Irregular" lines are as obnoxious a.
those of the tramp" vessels. Further
statements are made with regard II
publication of rates for water and raj
transportation, and recommendation il
made for amendment so as to bring
these water carriers under the law.
LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED.
The commission recommends addi
tional legislation on the following sub
Jects:
1. With respect to proceedings to en-
force the lawful orders of the commits
sion.
2. To give legislative construction t.
the word cline" in the statute.
5. Toprovide for establishing through
routes and Joint through rates.
4. To give the commission power t
prescribe minimum as we'll as maximum
rates to competitive points.
5. To provide for the adoption of
uniform freight classi tication.
6. To make CORPORATIONS subject t
the act liable to Indictment for viola
tions of the law.
Z. To provide penalty for failure o
the part of carriers to file their annua
reports within specified time.
The commission also calls the after
tion of congress to the subjects gen

port, and the suggestions therein made

FEDERAL ELECTIONS.
The Hill or House Bill Will Pass
Soon.


Soon.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The bill for
the repeal of the general elections law
is expected to receive the attention of
the senate at an early day during the
session which will begin tomorrow, but
whether the subject will be taken up on
the bill. now on the calendar, which
was introduced by Senator Hill early IN
the extra session, and reported by the
judiciary committee, or whether the
senate will elect to wait until the COM
mlttee can consider and report upon the
bill which passed the house, cannot be
stated. The only material difference
between the two bills is found in the
fact that the Hill bill deals exclusively
with the portions of the election laws
relating to the franchise, all of which is
repealed, while the house bill seeks to
accomplish the same purpose, and also
repeals the portion of these laws relat-
ing to crimes in connection with the
national elections, and is, therefore,
more sweeping. 1t is not now believed
that the subject will give rise to pro-
longed debate, but that Republican SEN
ators will content themselves with put
ting on record their protests.

A Customs Loss in Five Months of
$25,OOO,OOO.


AsHINGToN, Dec. 3.-The estimate
of the secretary of the treasury of gov
ernment expenditures and receipts for
the fiscal years of 1915 has not yet
been given to the public. 1t has been
withheld later than usual, possibly be-
cause the secretary was deSirous of
having the tariff bill take definite
shape. that he might form an idea of
the revenue to be expected from the
proposed law. He has also been hope
full that times might improve and the
revenues increase, and if this change
had taken place it would also have
been guide TO him. On this
hope he has, however, been disappoint-
ed. There has been constant falling
off in the customs duties paid since last
July, and a big decrease for each month
this year as compared with correspond
ing mouths of last year. There has
been a loss in these five months over
the same months of 1892 amounting in
the aggregate to S25, 600, and during
the month of November of the present
year the collections were a little over
S10,000O00, as compared with over ST.
O00. 600 for November, 1898.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Worlds
special dispatch from San Jose says:
The arrival of the cruiser San Francisco
in Costa Rican waters has caused no
little comment, and superinduce the
belief that the United States is inter-
ested in the present political agitation
here. Since the visit of the Kearsarge
in 1875 and the Atlanta last October
(the latter stayed only about three
hours, there have been no United
States war vessels in the Atlantic ports
of Costa Rica. Hence the conclusion
that Mr.. Cleveland is more intimately
acquainted with affairs than appears on
the surface. The political situation is
critical. The dictatorship of Senor
Rodquez is likely to produce revolu-
ton. which. added to the already pau
icky condition of finances, imperils the
welfare. not only of natives, but of for
eign residents, the greater part of whom
are engaged in commercial enterprises.
