Reply to the Senate Resolution Ask
ing Information.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
vice-president laid before the senate
today a reply of the interstate COM
merce commission to a resolution ask
ing for information concerning the Gus
toms. rules, regulations and agree
mentS and charges of certain railroad
companies. First, the commission re-
ports there is no agreement or regula-
ton in writing other than the regu-
la'rly established tariffs and rate sheets
between the railway companies whose
lines extend to or through Missouri
river points as to what rates shall be
maintained to and from such points.
Companies carrying from points east
thereof use the Missouri river as a
basing line and maintain the same
rate to all Missouri river points.
The rates from Chicago and points
east of the Missouri river TO points
west in Nebraska. Kansas and Colo
RADIO are made as a rule by a com
bination of the rates east and west
of the river.
The commission is of the opinion
that there is additional legislation re-
quire0 to better protect the public in
tereSt. Any evils resulting from the
use of the Missouri river as a basing
line will be remedied by amending the
law so as to provide for a through
routing and through billing from the
point of shipment to the point of des-
r-nation as through rates The com
mission says it has asked heretofore
for additional legislation or amend
ment which will compel carriers to
disclose their defense to the commits
sion and confine the courts in pro
ceedings to enforce the commissions
orders, to consideration of the record
made and case tried before the COM
mission. Such an amendment is nee
essary to the enforcement of any or
ders of the commission.

executive he would give ample protec-
ton, and characterized the governors
action as highly partisan and unbe-
coming. EX-Attorney General Hendrick
nominated Judge Lysander Hoard as
chairman of the meeting in a speech
scoring the governor. Judge Hoard
took the chair amid burst of enthu-
siasm. Speeches were made by Col
onel e. H. Taylor and others denounc-
ing the action of Governor Bradley in
severe terms.
The investigation by the senate COM
mittee ended late tonight. 1t will re-
port tomorrow. Some predict that the
committee will report to the senate
recommending that the governor be
both fined and imprisoned. 1t is not
generally believed, however, that the
committee will do more than censure
the governor.
Governor Bradley conducted his own
examination of witnesses at the meet
ing of the committee.
Judge w. H. Holt and many promi-
nent Republicans were at his side.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Handed Down By Chief Justice Full
Ter Yesterday

Ter Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Chief
Justice Fuller, in the United States
supreme court today, handed down a
decision in the case of the People of
California against the Central Pacific
and Southern Pacific Railway COM
panies, involving the right of the state
to tax the franchises of those roads
The railroad companies resisted taxa
tion on the ground that their fran
chises were derived from the national
government as well as from the state
authorities and were inseparable. The
court decided against this view, holding
that the railroad companies owe their
existence as corporations to the state
and are subject to the state laws in
respect to taxation. The chief justice
said the state franchises never had
been merged in the federal franchises
and they were as legitimaltely subject
TO taxation as the roadbeds of the COM
panies. Justice Field read a dissent
ing opinion. He said the position taken
in the majority opinion is absurd and
untenable.
Justice Harlan also dissented from
the opinion of the court. The dissent
ers held the franchises to be derived
from the United States and that the
mortgages upon the roads held by the
government were the property of the
national government, and therefore not
subject to taxation by the state.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-Walter Ora

shot and fatally wounded early yes
terday morning while on his way
home. The only clue as to the iden-
tity Of the murderer is a hat left be-

Four men have been arrested and

THE SIOUX CITY.
Views Presented to the House Com
mittee Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-sev-
eral members of congress interested in
the Sioux City and Pacific railroad ap-
peared before the house committee on
Pacific roads today to give their views
upon the proposition recently made by
Coombs, the Sioux City banker, regard
ing that branch. Representatives Meikle-
john, Nebraska; Perkins, Iowa; Fletcher
and Tcwne, Minnesota, presentetl--peti
tions from many towns asking for the
construction of the road southwest from
Sioux City to North Platte. contemplated
in the original Pacific railroad acts. The
advantages of such Il line, as presented
by Meiklejohn are that 1t would dag
onal three SystemS-the Northwestern. B.
and NJ. and Union Pacific main line,
giving an outlet to farm praducts and
benefits to lake rates. These members re-
quested that the committee include pro-
visions for the building of this branch.
in any general bill it may report, and for
the purpose ask that $4,OOO,ON be used
from the sinking fund, established by
Thurman and invested in bonds in the
Sioux City.
Several questions were asked upon the
right of congress to divert the sinking
fund to such a purpose, and Meikiejohn
contended that the sinking fund was al
ready invested in railroad bonds Which
would bring fifteen millions Il sold IN the
New York market, and the proposition
was merely to invest $49O0,9oU III Sioux
City bonds.
Mr.. Perkins made an argument to
the effect that there was no founda-
ton for the old theory put forth by
the projectors of the Pacific roads that
il was impossible to build a line west
from Sioux City on account of the geo
graphical conditions. If congress was
to give additional privileges to the
Union Pacific by extending its debts,
it should embrace the opportunity to
right the great wrong for which con-
gress was responsible, by which great
section was shut off from a. great many
of the advantages of the lake COM
merce. Mr. Fletcher spoke on the
same line.
In the discussion incidental to the
hearings, Chairman Powers held that
the sinking fund was a trust fund
which could not be applied to such pur-
poses, but Mr.. Johnson, of California,
made an argument that the provision
asked for could be included in any
general bill involving the reorganiza-
ton of the Union Pacific. The point
was raised that in case the govern
ment concluded to foreclose, instead of
extending the debts, fulfillment of the
proposition would be impossible.
Mr.. Fletcher said that no one in his
section desired the government to go
in the railroad business.
Mr.. Miklejohn. in reply to ques-
ton by Mr.. Arnold, of Pennsylvania
said that the sentiment in his state
was divided, part of the people de-
string foreclosure, others reorganiza-
ton.

NEW YORK, March IA dispatch to

cred company had been receiving arms
secretly from agents of the company. In
view of the secret raid on the Transvaai,
the Portuguese government feared that
some aggressive action was in contem-
plation against their territory from Rhod-
esia and when Cecil Rhodes left Eng
land by wav of Beira for Buluwayo,
their alarm was doubled. Portugal ac-
cordingly intimated TO the British gov
