Congress produces under the Supreme
Court, 1t says, mot uniformity and
equality, but the drest confusion and
grossest discrimination" The right OF
the commi sion TO prescribe rates in the
future is urged. If the commission ia
given power to fix a rate, how are it's or
ders to be made effective, and what Is tn
be the attitude of the courts toward srcb
orders? The commission considers the
law as laid down by the Supreme Court in
the cases OF the Minnesota and Texas
Railroad Commissions and points out that
opportunity for judicial inquiry as to
whether rates fixed by State Legislatures
or com missions are reasonable must be af-
forded and is provided. Tor in the State
statues, especially in California, where
the Federal court has held the statute
unconstitutional. The report discusses
the point at length.
The Long and short hauP' act and the
Supreme Court decision thereon are dis
cussed. and the statement is made that
unless the country is satisfied 10 undergo
a recurrence OF the evils existing apropOs
10 the passing OF that act IL must in some
form or other be re-enacted. The report
doubts the wisdom OF legislation tou ching
pooling and says: If pooling produces
any beneficial results 1t necessarily does so
at the expense of competition.
By legaLzlng pooling the public loses
the only protection it now has against the
unreasonable exactiOns OF TRANSFORMATION
agencies. Still, in view OF the whole situ-
ajion, a ma ajority Of the commission would
be inclined to recommend that the expe-
dient be tried if suitable safeguards are
provided in advance, but this recommend
alton must be taken only with the Ilmita'
ZION stated
TIE great necessity for uniformity in
freight classification is urged, and several
amendments and additional legislation
are pointed out as a necessity.

comely young Chinese woman, the wife
OF a fisherman residing at WalIuku. Al
tackled while alone in the house, her head

head that she had been dead for several
hours.
The murder is supposed to be a native

served two terms for larceny. Robbery
is supposed to have been his motive. Ac-
cordIng to the evidence at hand, he was
engaged in ransackIng the Chinese home

SUICIDE or THIERBAC
TOOK Potion When He Heard His Stcect-
heart Hds Dyin1.

HONOLULU, Dec. 80 harles ThieI-
bach OF San Francisco committe suicide
on the ID inst. by taking large dose, of
cyanide of potassium. HIS body, stiff in
death, was found about O'Clock the same
day. He left nothing to explain his rash
action, but on card wa. written, "Notify
c. Thierbach. San Francisco"
BY the last mail from the coast Thier-
bach received word that his sweetheart,
who resides there, was at the point OF
death, and could not possibly live. The
news depressed him very much. The
young man had been seriously i'll with
ear trouble, and had not sufficiently
recovered to resume his business duties.
1t is supposed that his illness and the bad
news he had received led him 10 believe
that life was not worth living.
The body was discovered by a fellow
lodger, Patrick Ryan. Calling at the place
on some minor business AT noon, he
found a note for himself on small card
and unsiGned-"NOlii c. Tnler bac ch,
300 30S Battery street." The handwriting
was mat of the young man, ana Ryan
came at once to the conclusion that some.
thing was amiss. An entrance TO Thier-
bach's room was effected, and he was
10 und to be quite deau. He had poison Ell
water with cyaniie of potassium, and had
swallowed a dose that did the work QUICK
Iy. He had been deau for some time. His
letters and pictures were tied in pack
age, with a line on the outside requestin 2
that they be sent to san Francisco.
Little is known of the deceased here.
He came 10 Honolulu about five N on hs
ago with a veriscope show, which DID not
pay, and he severed his connection with
IL TO axe position in a local photograph
gallery. As nearly as can be Learned
ThIerbach was about % years of age and
a native of San Francisco. His mother
died when he was a child, and he was
brought up by his sister, who resides IN
San Francisco at the present time. He
had never spoken OF his sweetheart until
he received word by the last steamer from
the coast informing him OF her illness.
Thierbach was apparently we'll educated.
He was plentliuIly supplied with money,
for there Is still IN his employers hands a
considera BILE sum for which he haG never
asked. The body has been buried here.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16
The eleventh annual report of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, issued to-
day, is a lengthy document, which touches
upon the work of the commission during
the past year, and includes several sug-
gestions. Speaking of the powers of the
commission the report says that a suit to
recover excess over reasonable rates is not
an adequate or equitable remedy, and
continues:
prevention by fixing and esta ab.ishing
rates in advance is the only practical legal
remedy for extortionate and unjust
charges, and the law should be made so
plain that neither the commission nor
the courts can misconstrue or misinterpret
its meaning"
The report discusses the Supreme Court
decision denying power in the commits
sion TO prescr i0e maximum rates ana
goes on to show why the commission has
no real power as to fixing rates.

The mysterious pistol SHOT reported to have
been heard at the corner of Sutter and TaylGkA

probably the report of a cartridge exploded by
a mail wagon driven by Carrier John ]. Fitz-

ton and ran over something lying near the
car track and an explosion followed. A pore
ton of he missile struck mis- shoe but the foot

pieces of bottle. He thinks that he ran over
