Restraints California COMMISSION
From Reducing Freight Rates.
San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-ln the
United States circuit court for the
northern district of California, Judge
Joseph McKenna today rendered ms
decision in the matter of the injunction
pendente lite TO restrain the California
railroad commission from enforcing an
s per cent reduction in grain rates on
the lines of. the Southern PACING COM
pany within this state of California
The principal contentious of the. COM
plainant corporation were that the COM
mission was unconstitutional by reason
of the clause in the state constitution
declaring that all rates fixed by 1t shall
be deemed conclusively just and reason
able: and that the proposed per cent
reduction was unjust and unreasonable,
and confiscatory of its property. Judge
McKenna decided in favor of the con-
stitutionality of the commission but
added that the clause complained or by
the corporation was invalid.
In conclusion he ordered that the
temporary injunction restraining the
respondents from enforcing the per
cent reduction be in force until further
order of the court, and that the bal
ance of the restraining order be dis
solved.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Ex-Secretary of
the Treasure Foster is a guest at the
Fifth avenue hotel In an interview
today with a reporter of the United
Associated Presses, he said that in a
recent conversation held with ex-Sen-
ator Plat OF New York, the latter
heartily endorsed c. n. Bliss for secre-
tary of the navy. Personally, Mr. Eos
ter said, he had always had great ad-
miration for Mr.. Bliss.
He thought the acceptance of any
place IL the cabinet on the part of
Mr. Hanna would belittle him. He de-
clared he had achieved more diStinc-
ton and reputation than is ordinarily
achieved by a public man in life
time, and his position is highly honor
able. AS fame is the only reward for
public effort he has reached the zen
it'll, and holding Office might detract
from it. but could not add to it. With
regard to the Ohio senatorshiD, Mr..
Foster said he had always had an am
bition TO be senator. Il would be a
candidate now" he continued. but for
my financial misfortunes. and l may
be a candidate anyway"
Mr.. Foster spoke enthusiastically of
Senator Shermans fitness for the treas
ury portfolio. He had not seen Major
Mckinley and had no inkling as to his
cabinet slate. He did not know of any
cabinet candidates in Ohio. He did
not think il wise to put a sound

would he somewhat irconSruous to
have gold free trade Democrat in
the cabinet"
He thought = would be unwise to
pass the DinsIey bill. which he char
acterized as a continuation of the Viii
son bill except that it is a 10 per cent
advance in the tariff. He was opposed
to the ad valOrem features of the bill
because they admitted of the perpe-
traitor of big frauds on the govern
ment.

BOTH IN FINE FERTILE
SharI<ey and Fitz. VIII Put Up "a
Good Fight.


San Francisco, Nov. S0.-Bob Fftz-
simmons and Tom Sharkey concluded
their hard training today and both will
taper off with light exercise until they
meet in the ring three days hence.
sFitzsimmons expects to take on be-
tween FIVE and ten pounds before We'd
nesday While Sharkey will about hold
his weight to $50 pounds. Fitzsimmona
turned the scales today at 172, and an
nounced himself ready for the fight of
his life. The sailor spent the day
telling his friends and admirers how hq
would humble the Cornishman with
stiff body blows and the lanky Aus
enthusiastic crowds who packed his
training quarters. Though big betting
on the contest will not begin until to-
morrow evening, number of wagers
have already been placed. One bet of
5000 to $175 was made that Sharkey
would stay the ten rounds. Some of
the mariners more sanguine admirers
offer 500 to SIS that the sailor will DE
up and fighting at the end of the bout.
The adherents of the big blacksmith
offer to l that FitZsimmons will last
six rounds and $40 TO $50 that he will
last eight rounds. Riley Grammar and
other sports profess to be looking for
Sharkey money but are seemingly not
anxious to find it. Seats for the fight
command a premium already and the
national club is certain TO net hand
some sum on the venture.
