THE ConlMITTER ON COMMERCE.
Interstate Commerce Provision Oc-
casiOned Debate.

Washington, May l9.=The house comls'
mittee on commerce considered
again today the Sherman bill to repeal
the Imprisonment clause of the interstate
commerce act
Recently the bill which nau been placed

drawn by the committee because Of a
belief held by soE.c members that the re-
cent decision by Justice Brown that rail-
road men can testify regarding intrac-
tons of the law by their corporations
without discriminating themselves. made
the bill unnecessary and inadvsable.
Last week there was somewhat s-ormy
meeting over the bill, in which charges
Of railroad influence were made, and today
1t was decided by vote of 10 to to re-
store it 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 reach
ed, however, to report a bill introduced
by Mr.. wellington of Maryland, which
provides that the shore end of any sub
marine cable to be established after the
passage of the act which may be pro-
tected in any foreign country by oxclu-
sive landing rights or special privileges
