Perkins Defends the Memory of His
Friend, the Late Leland
Stanford.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Psrkins of
California, in the Senate to-day, briefly
defended the memory of the late Leland
Stanford from the charge made by Repre-
sentative Geary that he founded the Stan
ford University in spirit of revenge and
resentment because he was not elected
trustee of the University of California.
Perkins said that when he was Governor
of California he appointed Stanford Regent
Of the university, but at the request of the
latter the Legislature did not confirm his
nomination. Governor StOneman also
would have made Stanford a Regent, but
the honor was declined.
Some months since j. S. Leeds, the
California Traffic Associations represen-
tative, was in Washington looking after
some matters in which the association was
interested. He and Congressman Maguire
were sitting in Senator Whites Office in
the Maltby annex of the Senate one day
when a big and rather distinguished
looking ole gentleman entered and in
quired Of Mcguire, evidently taking him
for one of Whites clerks:
''Is the Senator inf"
"No, sir, he is not" said the Congress-
man.
"When do you expect him in?
Couldn't say, possibly" said the
Judge politely.
"Good-day."
"Good-day."
"The old mans looking well. ain's hep"
said Leeds.
who is he ?" inquired Mcguire.
Leeds looked at the Congressman In
astonishment. 'Who? Why, don't you
know Huntingdon"
Lord, was that Huntington ?'
This little incident is related by some OF
Maguire's friends merely to show that the
Congressman and the railway maguate
were not intimately acquainted. although
possibly they had heard of each other.
They know more about one another now.
At least, Hunting gton has reason 10 know
the Congressman.
Huntington thinks Mcguire is an au-
archist He said, speaking of Mcguire,
Sumner and others opposed to the big rail-
way steals: ''If such men were in Europe
they would be BON b. b-throwers."
Maguire's friends say that the railway
president will put up lots of money to beat
him at the coming election. But the Con-
gresham is not losing any sleep over the
matter. He is determined to fight the
railroad to a finish.
Sumner and Bassett were at the Depart
ment OF Justice to-day in consultation
with Assistant Attorney General Russell,
trying to induce him to institute suits
against the other stock olders of the Gen.
trail Pacific. Olney himself seems indiffer-
ent about the matter, but Russell may be
prevailed upon to take action, even
though it may be formality, as in the
case of Stanford.

REDUCTIONS ARE RADICAL.
Nebraska Railroads and the Low
Freight Rates.

OMAHA, June 13.-The case wherein the
Federal Court is asked to interfere with
Nebraska affairs and prevent the infringe
ment of the Nebraska maximum freight
rate bill. on the theory that the reductions
are so radical as to threaten to cause all
railroads in Nebraska to be abandoned.
came up to-day before Justice Brewer and
Judge Dundy. 1t is alleged that the local
rates now in force in Nebraska. which are
added to all shipments coming into the
State, are about 90 per cent higher than
the local rates in Kansas. Minnesota and
the Dakotas, hence. even in interstate
shipments, Nebraska pays this higher rate
than do the Others.
The defense claims that there is no
principle of law involved in this case
worthy Of serious discussion. and refers
to Justice Bradley's decision in Mime
sofa case, in which he says: ut is stated
that all charges must be reasonable and
that none but reasonable charges can be
exacted, and what is reasonable charge
is a judicial question"
The discrimination in rates exercised by
the railways IN favor of certain points and
monopolies resulted in the passage of this
bill. but il has remained inactive because
of an injunction.
The defense now alleges that by reason
of the injunction granted in this case the
railroad companies have already sus-
pended for one year the operation of the
law, to the aggrandizement of themselves
and to the detriment of the people. They
now want to call halt and let the law be
tested by actual experience.
Chancellor j. NJ. Woolworth on behalf
of the railroads opened his argument this
afternoon. His main contention was that
the rates fixed by the bill were unremuner-
ative. He went over the case carefully,
presenting the cost of operating and main
tanning the lines in Nebraska, and con-
tended that the revenue would be so re-
duced by the operation of the new rates
that the roads could no longer pay ex-
penses. The constitutionality of the low
rate was attacked on similar grounds.
Judge Woolworth had not yet closed when
court adjourned.
