therefore, Withdrawing from the com
pany the right to manage its own prop
erty.
1T may be said" says the opinion,
THAT every attempt to fix rates to toll
or rates for the carriage of passengers
or transportation of property to some
extent involves an interference with the
management and control of its property
by the railroad company. Having in
mind the common method of conduct
Jog railroad business at tie present day,
the court can take judicial notice of the
fact that nearly every railroad in this
state does issue, and did prior To the en-
actment of this law, issue mileage books
of one thousand mile tickets. The con-
ditions were not precisely tie same, but
they were contracts good for one year
and issued at a reduced rate, SO that
usual conduct of business time con-
tracts for the transportation of passen-
gers are made. In tact, II would be
difficult to think of IA method of con
Quoting a railroad business which did
not involve a contract good for some
length of time.
Il confess Icannot share the appre-
hension that such a regulation as the
one here involved will deprive the com
pany of the management of its business.
Would anyone contend that tue legis-
lature has not the power II require
railroad companies to keep on sale at
its station tickets Of any kind? The
compulsory requirement of this act may
indeed be denounced as an attempt to
conduct the business of the company,
but | apprehend that extended argu-
ment is not necessary to defend the
right of the Legislature % make such
requirement.
''My conclusions are that the regula-
ton is not unconstitutional As applied
to roads within the control OF the legis-
lature, and that the respondent road by
ITS consolidation-formed as it is by a
consolidation under an act passed since
the adoption Of the constitution reserv-
ing the power to alter, amend or repeal
is subject to the general control of
the Legislature and that the judgement
of the Circuit Court should be affirmed
The effect of this decision is evidently
not only to compel the Lake Shore u
Michigan Southern Railway Company
to sell mileage tickets under tine con-
ditions imposed by the legislature OF
1891, but 1t places the road within the
power of the legislature in regard to
taxation and other regulations, from
which it has always been claimed to be
exempt by reason of its original charter

By RAIL TO.HUDSON BAY.
A Railway Which Would Bring the Bay
Within T NO Days of Quebec.

"A aJ III Ould plAlk JIG Day
Within T NO Days of Quebec.
The project of building a railroad
from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay, with a
view to connecting the road with a line
of steamers, the whole forming "A new
grain route to Europe by way of Hud-
sons Straits, has long been familiar.
But while this scheme is still under con-
sideration, a rival enterprise has lately
appeared in the proposed extension of
the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway
from its present terminus to James BAY,
which forms the southernmost part of
Hudson Bay.
The project, of course, has no new
grain route III view, but a plea of
special interest Just now is made for it
As a possible route from eastern Canada
to the Yukon gold fields. For this pur-
pose there would be water travel by
Chesterfield Inlet aud English river as
well as by Hudson bay. ln iaddition,
1t is hoped that the fisheries, the timber
and the minerals of the Hudson bay
region may furnish support for the pro-
posed new road.
The existing railway, it appears. is
1870 miles long, extending to koberyal
on Lake ST. John, while the distance
thence to James bay would ~be:,nearly
twice as great, a considerable part of
it through "a hiIly region, but the begin
ming and nearly or quite all of the
northern half lying in comparatively
level territory. 70 the cost of construc-
ton would be added that of aiding
people to settle on the line of the road,
and, also OF shipping outfits for
carrying on the fisheries in Hudson bay.
But these expenditures.would bring re-
turns in traffic and if the great inland
sea could be reached in a couple Of days
and nights from Quebec, there might
be some tourist travel, prompted by
the facilities for going without discom-
fort 50 far north.
On the other hand, a glance at the
map suggests that the route to the Yu-
kon by way of Hudson bay must be
tedious and precar1ous. When, by rail
across the continent and by steamer
thence to Dyea, people from eastern
Canada can arrive so nearthe KIondike
region, the efforts TO eros, the enormous,
uutraveled area between Hudson bay
and the KDoudike could hardly be
tempting. Yet there is no saying how
much of the continent to the north Of
o., may yet be redeemed. and this liud-
son bay project, Ike the ONT which seeks
a new highway for the wheat of the Sas-
~katchewan region, may some day be
carried out.-New York sun.

HOW convict worked HIS way Out OF tho
Kansas Penitentiary.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. co. Homer A.
Call, q convict, has been released from
the penitentiary--given an uncondi-
tional pardon by Gov. Leedy. Call was
sent up from Labette county for q
term OF IS year1 for assault upon Laura
Havely, girl under is years old. A
week ago Call wrote Gov. Leedy and
told him that lie had taken the girl to
Missouri and was properly married
there. lie stated that upon his return
the brother Of the girl prosecuted him
maliciously aud had him convicted.
Gov. Leedy wrote Call and told him
that II he would send for the girl
and marry her at the peniten-
tiary he won Id pardon him. Call
agreed to this, and a few days ago q
girl appeared at the penitentiary and
said her name was IIavely. She asked
for Call and tie two went before Chap
lain Balleau and were married. Calls
pardon arrived from the governor the
next day and he was free. Since the
marriage" IL has developed that the
woman who appeared at the peniten-
tiary was not Miss Havely at all, but
an imposter. Miss Havely's brother
has written State Auditor Morris that
his sister is in Texas, and has not been
away from her home; that she is to be
married in few days to a Texas man.
Call, however, Is free, and he cannot
again be placed in Jail, as he was un-
conditionally pardoned.

WILLIAMS DECIDES.
upholds the insurance Company In To
Contention with wsb Mcilall.
Kansas Insurance superintendent Must Not
Interfere with the Company's Business
Attorney General boyle May Bring
Quo warrento Proceedings.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept as.-Acting
United States Circuit Judge John A.
Williams, in the United States court
here, yesterday granted the prayer Of
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. OF New
York asking for an order restraining
Webb McNall, state insurance CO .lmis.
slouer, from In any manner interfering
with Its business operations in Kansas
and compelling him TO Issue to said
company license to do business in the
state. Attorney-Gcneral Boyle was,
with McNall, made defendant, but
he was practically left free to do any
thing he pleases except to help Nc
Nall to deprive the Mutual Life Of its
asserted right to do business in Kan.
sas While Judge Williams decided
that McNall shall issue license
to the Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
lie did not compel him to do so
In any specified time, and Us he
gave the insurance company the license
of the court to do business, regardless
Of McNall, 1t Is possible that the com.
pany may proceed to do business with
out asking for the license. II the COM
pany, through its agent, goes before
McNall, presents the fee required
by law and demands license
under the order OF court, Nc
Nall will positively refuse, and
then the clash between the state
and the United States court will
be complete. Judge Williams would
then imprison Mr.. McNall for con.
tempt, and the latter would go to Jail
until his attorneys can go before the
supreme court of the United States
and get out writ of habeas corpus
BY this method q final decision can
be reached in 90 days, whereas an
appeal could not be heard short
of three years, ut which time
McNall would probably be out Of
Office. In the meantime the quo war
ranto case of Attorney.Ge General Boyle
to Gust the company from doing busi-
ness in Kansas, the justice and legal
ity OF which have been recognized by
Judge Williams, could be heard in the
supreme court of Kansas and deci-
sion rendered by that body that may
justify the position taken by McNall.
