WHO WILL CONTROL?
Democrats May Combine to Rule in
the Senate Committees.

WASHINGTON, March S.-All par
ties in the Senate devoted consider
able of their time to-day to the solv-
ing of the problem involved in the fill
ing in of the Senate committees. The
Republican committee appointed is the
result Of Saturdays meetings.
The Democratic and Republican
steering committees both held meet
iugs during the day. The Democrats
decided on nothing except to call
caucus for tomorrow. The silver
Republicans and Populists We're also
in conference. No definite conclusion
was reached by either organization,
and one is not probable on the part of
either of the parties until the Demo-
Gratis decide upon line Of action.
It still looks as if the memb bers would
have no difficulty in making a coali
ticn with the silver Republicans and
the Populsts for the control of the
committees, but they are in doubt
whether such a combination would be
wise. They have been thinking over
the proposition, and many of them feel
that while the combination can be
brought to work harmonously on sill
yer, it is doubtful whether they can
agree upon a tariff policy.
There are several intricate points
which cannot be satisfactorily adjusted
quickly. There is q disposition mani
tested on the part of the more con-
servative members, both in the Repub-
lican and Democratic ranks, to allow
the political organization to stand,
giving the Democrats a slight increase
over the Republicans in the new COM
9littee appointments. There has been
more or less discussion as to the ad-
mission of men from Kentucky, Flor
ida and Oregon. Four years ago Sem
ator Pascoe was admitted on the ap
pointment of the Governor of Florida,
in an exactly similar case, and it is be-
lieved Mr. Henderson will be admitted
without opposition on the same prece
dent In the case of the other States
it will be claimed they are in all re-
srects similar to the case of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming cases three
years ago, when the Senators We're re-
fused admission on the appointment of
the Governors. 1t is stated. however.
that from the case of Oregon the fail

LONG AND SHORT HAULS.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Renders an important Decision.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission to-day,
IN an opinion by Commissioner Prouty,
announced its decision in the matter of
alleged violation of the fourth, or long
and short haul clause of the Act to reg
ulate commerce by the Atchison To-
peka and Santa Fe Company and the
receivers thereof and others
This investigation was caused by a
rate made of short duration between
various competing carriers from Chi
cago to Colorado common points, dur
ing which the tariffs in a few instances
were reduced on fifth class merchan-
disc from 92 cents to 80 cents without
any corresponding reduction to inter
mediate points.
The hearing attracted some attention
at the time for the reason that Aldace
r. Walker, a former member of the
commission and then Receiver of the
Atchison road, undertook to justify his
action, on the ground that the law was
being secretly violated by the compet-
ing lines and for that reason he was
at liberty to meet the rate at compet-
ing points, without regard to the rule
Of the long and short haul clause. Mr..
Walker testified upon the trial that the
law was not and could not be enforced
and that for that reason he was at lib
erty to disregard it, He also testified
that one of the principal reasons why it
could not be enforced was the unwill-
ingness of the railway companies to
cooperate in its enforcement.
The Commission says in its opinion
MIR. Walkers opinion ultimately comes
to this, that he refuses to obey the law
because he does not like it. 1t is held
that no disturbances of rates, secret
or open. creates such dissimilarity of
circumstances or conditions under Sec
ton 4 as will justify the violation of
the long and short haul clause without
an order of the commission.

A Constitutional Commission.

The Norfolk Pilot reproduces a re-
cent article from The Times, with
reference to the best method of
changing the constitution.
The Pilot repeats by way of con-
cert, what it has time and again said
and said with force that the proposed
convention is unnecessary, costly and
dangerous, and that the model way
of making such changes as are nee
essary is through legislative enact
ment, ratified by the people But
the Pilot agrees with The Times that
commissioner should first investi
gate and report all desirable amend
ments, and cannot see any objection
to such commission unless it be
partisan.
We believe that it should be non
partisan in the sense that all parties
should have representation. Such a
commission could, by sitting from
time to time in various parts of the
State, and hearing individual opin
ions, learn the will of the people
much better than could a constitu
tional convention, which would be al
best large and unwieldy. But more
than this, two legislatures would pass
upon the action of the commission
and, last of all, the people would say
by their votes whether or not they
would ratify the action of the COM
mission and the legislature.-Rich-
mond Times.
