FRANCIS CONFIRMED.
No Opposition Made and No Vote Taken
Vest Explains.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Senate
in executive session yesterday con-
firmed the nomination of David r..
Francis of Missouri for secretary of the
interior. No opposition to confrr.a-
tion was made and no vote was taken.
Senator Vest stated that he could add
nothing to what he had already said,
and that ha had no object in further
delaying action upon the nomination.
He added tat he had not made obiec-
ton to confirmation in the beginning
on any personal ground. or because he
entertained any but the lhindest per-
sonai feeling toward Mr.. Francis, but
that he had taken his position in op-
position to confirmation simply as a
matter of duty to the Democratic
party, which Mr.. Francis, while pro-
iessing to be mem Der of that party,
had opposed in the late election.

REGARDING PASSENGER RATES
Decision OF the Illinois Railroad and
warehouse Commissioners.

Warehouse Commissioners.
In the matter OF the communication
Of the secretary of the state grange or
Illinois dated Jan. l. 1897. embodying
resolution of that body adopted at It's
December meeting. 1896, asking the
board of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners to reduce the passenger
rate from three (3) cents to two t2l
cents per mile, the commission is Oh
the opinion that to do so at TINS time
would be unwise and unwarranted anu
would be unjust to the railroad inter
est of the state. While some or the
great trunk lines in Illinois might De
able to stand such reduction, yet tne
smaller roads, and those when 90
almost wholly a local business, anu
which are now and have been Tor the
last two years struggling for exlst-
ence, would be most seriously aiiecteu
by it,
Such action on our part would SIM
ply increase the heavy burdens under
which they are staggering now III 10
well-known fact to those VINO nave
taken the trouble to investigate tne
amount of passenger business done py
the railroads in Illinois during the past
two years that there has been large
decrease in the number OF passengers
carried This is due in our Judgment
not to the amount charged for such
service but to the general depression
in all lines OF business, the low prices
Of farm products and the unsettled
financial conditions which have had
their effect on the passenger as wen
as the freight business.
And it is also q fact. as shown by the
sworn reports of the railroads OF llll-
nois that the capital invested in such
property has not paid even a fair IN
terest to the stakeholder. This ques-
tion WAS before us when we revised
the freight schedule in 1895, and the
whole question was thoroughly con-
sidercd We did not think then ana
neither do we feel now that in justice
to both the public and the railroads,
because each should stand on the same
equality before the law, this reduction
should be made at this time. IL the
country was prosperous our conclu-
sions might be different
The statistics in our office show that
for the past three years, 1894, 1895 and
1896, the average amount charged by
the railroads per passenger mile Is q
fraction above two cents, although the
maximum allowed them was three
cents.
For the reasons above stated We do
not feel that this reduction should be
made at this time. We are also asked
to recommend this reduction to the
legislature. In view of our conclusion
we do not feel that it would be con-
sistent for us to do so; however, the
legislature has the power to regulate
the maximum rate which can be
charged for passenger service and we
leave the matter to their wisdom.

Nominated for Senator in Illinois After
Bitter Struggle.

Bitter Struggle.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Jan. 2:.-EX-Con-
gressman William E. Mason was nom
mated for United States Senator at
the Republican joint caucus last night,
after one of the most bitterly Tough
battles in the history of the Repu bic
an party in Illinois. Although he had
been canvassing the state as sena-
torial candidate for two years,
Mr.. Mason's selection was regard
ed by machine" politicians as an
impossibility up to within two
hours of the time of his triumphant
and unanimous nomination, the choice
being the result of the sudden with
drawal from the race of Congressman
William Lorimer, who had held the
almost solid vote of Chicago and Cook
county. The contest has been so long
drawn out and the battle so fierce that
the legislators were in mood to be
Stampeded at any moment as the hour
for the caucus drew near and the sud-
den shifting of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the delegates off their
feet. Mr.. Mason's selection was a dis
tinct defeat for the combination of pol
lticians known as the machine" and
a clear victory for the Mckinley forces
of the state
