United States Supreme Court In
terprets a Decision.
NEBRASKA RATE CASE
BIG JUDGMENT AGAINST PULL
MAN COMPANY REDUCED.
Milwaukee Loses Its Four Cent Fare
Case-President Carr Inspects Gar
field Beach - New Travelling
Freight Agent For the Midland
Other Railway News.

The United States supreme court has
modified the decree in the maximum
rate cases brought from Nebraska, and
gives the syllabus of the opinion by
Justice Harlan in the matter. The
modification was asked for by the at
torney general of the state of Nebraska.
His motion was to strike from the de-
cree, printed at the time in the daily
papers, the words: And below those
now charged by said companies" also
the sentence, And particularly from
reducing its present rate of charges for
transportation of freight to those pre-
sented in said act" in the case of Smith
VS.. Smith.
The court said: "The general question
argued before us on the original hear
ing was whether the rates established
by the Nebraska statute, looking at
them as an entirety, were so unreason-
ably low as to prevent the railroad COM
panies from earning such compensation
as would be just, having due regard to
the rights of both the public and the
companies.
I'm our examination of the question,
it was appropriate and necessary to
inquire as to the earnings of the re-
spective companies under the rates eS-
tablished by them, looking at such rates
as an entirely. We do not intend by an
affirmance of the several DEGREES to
adjudge whether companies should not
at any time il the future, if they saw
proper, reduce the rates under which
they were conducting business at the
time the final DEGREES were rendered
nor that the state board of tranSporta-
ton should not reduce rates on specific
or particular articles below the rates
which the companies were charging on
such articles when the decree was en-
tered.
I'VE did not pass judgment upon the
reasonableness or unreasonableness of
the rates on any parti3ula. -ticle de-
scribed by the statute, or Wy the rail-
read companies. If the ste should,
by statute, or through its board IF
transportation, prescribe a new sched-
ule Of rates. the question viii arise
whether such rates, taking into con-
sheraton the rights of the public as
well as the rights of carriers, are con-
sistent with the principles announced
by this court
"Of course the reasonableness of a
schedule of rates must be determined
by the facts as they exist When such
schedule is put in force"
JUDGMENT CUT DOWN.
Inc supreme court reversed the lOWer
court in the case of the Pullman Pal
ace Car company VS.. the Central Trans
portation company. The action in
Volved property amounting in value
to nearly $4,000 900, transferred to the
Pullman company by the other under
a lease made in 1870. The lease was to
run for 80 years, and the rental was
to be $240, 900 per year. The circuit

corning the corporation tax, he held
that the tax on gross receipts was man.

subject of taxation.
FOR TERRITORIAL EXPANSION.
Mr.. Elkins discussed territorial ex-
pansion. The present war, only a
month old, had sent the country further
on in the progress of the world than in
hundred years before. Ii had brought
changes in the public mind, brought on
new conditions and problems, and we
must look more and more to extending
our markets for our own products, and
to that end must acquire more terri
tory than may come through fortunes
of war.
I'VE must have merchant marine
ships on the seas. control the shipping
and commerce on the great oceans that
wash our shores, and a navy greater
and more powerful than-any now afioat.
This is manifest destiny"

traditional policy of isolation and op-
position to acquiring territory in the
past, we must not put aside what

Turning to the victory of Admiral
Dewey, Mr.. Lodge said that we were
compelled to go back as far as Trafal-

more sweeping in it's results than that
of Admiral Dewey. Now that Dewey
has Manila under his guns, and entirely
at his mercy, it is all important, said
Mr.. Lodge, that we should support him.
The American people would never for
give the administration ii it should fail
to give him that support which is only
his just due. They would feel as did
the people of England when Gordon
was left to his fate at Khartoum-

DENIAL FROM SPEAKER REED.
He Does Not Favor Hawaiian Annexation
and VIII Not Aid 1t.

Washington, February S.-Speaker Reed
was very angry when he read in Wash
ington newspaper that he had changed
his mind about Hawaiian annexation
legislation, and, believing the Hawaiian
treaty could not be ratified, was urging
that bill providing for annexation
should be hurried by the Senate over to
the House, promising to put 1t through
the House in week.
He would make no statement for publi-
cation about it, but he described 1T in
very picturesque language to his friends
as false and malicious.
The Speaker stands just where he has
stood ali along, although he has not been
willing to talk for publication in opposi-
tion to annexation. He has been strong
ly advising the Republican members OF
the House to oppose the project, and 1t
will get no assistance from him. He
characterized its promoters today in
language more forcible than polite. He
believes that the treaty will fail but he
has no intention of assisting the annexa-
tionists to get through legislation.
