The Republican Senate Caucus Committee
necides Against Completing Commit ees.
Washington. April 6.-The Senate
Republican caucus committee appoint
cl to consider the question Of llling the
Senate Committees vacancies held its
first meeting to-day in the committee
room Of lis chairman, Senator NcMil-
Ian. The committee practically reach
ed the conclusion that there should he
no immediate effort to fill the commit
tees. ami that the matter should be
postponed until after the passage OF
the tariff bin. The reason for this con-
clusion was found in the fact that many
Of the olGec and more conservative Re
publican Senator's are Of the opinion
that an Gf0rt 10 rearrange the COM
mittees a. this time would have a di-
rect and adverse influence upon the
fortunes OF the revenue bill. They,
therefore. consider it wiser to postpone
this agitation until this bill shall be
disposed Cf There may be other
meetings of the committee, but the
prediction is freely made that no
change will now be initiated by the
Republican Senators. TIE committee
ordered a complete list of committee
vacancies prepared.

TO HEAR BRYAN.

to Stand on the Outside.

Washington. April 6.-The Supreme
Court room and the corridors without
were crowded to-day with spectators
attracted by the appearance of Hon.
VIM. j. Bryan. as counsel in a case.
Two lines of people. many of them
ladies. waited outside of the door after
the court room had been filled, and
when Nr. Bryan appeared at noon they
auplauGaG him. The case on hearing
involved the cons,itutionality Of a law
Of -he State Of Nebraska, enacted April
IT, 1898. entitled AN act to regulate
railroads. % classify treights, TO fix
reasonable maximum rates to be charg-
ei for the transportation of freights,
etc. Several railroad companies were
arraycd against the State Board or
TRANSPORTATION. the Union Pacific at
their head. with James c. Carter as
chief counsel The case was appealed
bv the State Board of transportation
from the United States Circuit Court
for the district of Nebraska. and Mr..
Bryan was associated with the attorney
general of the State aS counsel Mr..
BRYAN I'm beginning his argument said
that it was unfortunate that there was
NO established rule by which the court
was go determine what were reasonable
rates. ir must be presumed however,
that a legislature i'm fixing what it held
tr no reasonable rates acted in gOod
faith.
"A railroad is" he said. "to a certain
extent a monopoly and people cannot
depend upon the laws of competition to
protect them from the eXactions Of
monopoly.
When ne came to discuss the rights of
corporations. Mr.. Bryan became some
what OratOrical He said: IF few
corporations can secure a monopoly
and not be governed by the same rules
as others. the people are the victims Of
those mOuop0lies.
"The rights of citizens TO reasonable
rates is as sacred as those of railroads
Go reasonable profits.
Tn conclusion he declared that the
people who gave value to a road by
using it were rs much entitled to con-
siderati0n MS those who contributed to
build it. else there was no equality for
citizens before the courts.
Mr. Bryan spoke until two o'clock.
and when he finished the crowd swept
from the court room with a rush.

Williamson. W. Va, April 6.-The
mill of justice has geen grinding stead
lily in this county the past two days,
and the juries, which are usually very
lenient, have been ringing in some sur
prises on offenders generally.
Thus far three murder cases have
been tried and in each instance the
prisoner has been convicted of great
en- or less degree of that crime About
a dozen murder cases yet remain on the
trial docket and the wnoie four week.
session bids fair to be consumed in dis
posing of this class Of cases alone.
The trial of Cap" Hatfield, which
comes up tomorrow, has brought a
score or more of his kinsmen to town,
and while all appear peacefully inclin-
ed. the people appreciate the fact that
trouble is liable to arise upon the
slightest provocation. John Hatfield,
Caps" brother, and one who has al
ways been nearest him in all trouble,
was heard to say to-day that a report
was out to the effect that in the event
the State failed to establish a case
agai 81 Cap" he would be handed over
to the Kentucky authorities. where he
is wanted badly for the part played by
him during the old feud. John de-
nounces such a plan bitterly and VOWS
hat In case it is attempted, those who
attempt it will be given a tough tussle.
This conveys an idea of the feeling
which prevails. and trouble is feared.
The trial is attracting great interest and
rumerous and various are the prophe-
sizes Of the result.
