The Commer.e Committee.

Washington, May 19.-The house
committee on commerce to-day consid-
cred again the Sherman bill to repeal
the imprisonment clause of the inter-
state commerce act. Recently the bill,
which had been placed on the calendar
of the house, was withdrawn by the
committee because of a belief held by
some members that the recent decision
by Justice Brown, that railroad men
can testify regarding infractions of the
law by their corporations without in
eliminating themselves, made the bill
unnecessary and inadvisable. Last
week there was somewhat stormy
meeting over the bill in which charges
of railroad influence were made. and
to-day II was decided by vote OF 10
to to restore 1t to it's former place on
the house calendar.
The prospects for government aid to
a Pacific cable was also discussed
without definite result. An agreement
was reached, however, to report a bill
introduced by wellington of Mary

end of any submarine cable to be es-

which may be protected in any foreign
country by exclusive landing rights or
special privileges of franchise, will not
be permitted to land or be operated on
the territory of the United States un-
til permission has been obtained from
