SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENTS.


Further diplomacy with Spain
has been abandoned.
The president is preparing a
message for congress which
may be one Of peace.
This may not be presented
until Wednesday.
Woodford has received final
instructions and is prepared to
leave Spain any hour.
The Flying Squadron is now
ready for business. 1t is said
to be the finest and most for
midable feet gathered in the
world.
Its organization means war
and its officers and men are not
only ready but eager for the
fray.
Final preparations are now
being made by both nations.
War hangs on the firing of
the first shot.
That is just how near the
United States and Spain are to
the brink of hostilitles.
With one exception (Secre-
tary Gage) all the cabinet off,
clals have accepted the inevita-
BILE.
A great calm has fallen on

WATCHING THE TRICKY SPANIARDS.
Washington, April 3.-The
department officials are watch
ing with the keenest interest
the movement of the torpedo
flotilla and other vessels of the
Spanish navy. Yesterday the
state department sent a cipher
cablegram to J. B. Grimaraes,
United States consular agent at
St. Vincent, Cape Verde islands,
directing him to keep a sharp
lookout on the torpedo fiotilla
and to promptly advise the de-
partment of their movements.
Indicative of the departments
intense interest in this matter a
second cipher dispatch to the
same effect was sent to the
same consular agent again
today. 1t is believed should
the boats proceed westward
from Cape Verde islands active
steps will be taken by the ad-
ministration to prevent their
entrance into American waters.

THE COMMISSION AND THE COM
PRESSES.

The owners of the cotton congresses
throughout tho State are naturally aroused
uni dissatisfied at the recent rulings OF
ths railway commission. The compress
men not only claim that the reduction IN
r-tes Is injurious to them but they feel
THAI the commission Is exceeding Its au-
thority in undertaking TO regulate their
charges
1t must be admitted that 1t is an ex
tremely doubtful question whether the
commission has the right to fix compress
charges simply because these Charges are
Indirectly related to transportation rates.
There arc a variety of things that directly
and Indirectly enter into tho transportation
problem that the commits ion has no au
thority over, and 1t Is just possible that In
reaching out TO control the compress busl-
ness the commission has trespaSsed upon
prlNato rgata THAT were not contemplated
tions when the law under which 1t Is oper-
citing was passed.
There is tenlency In the decisions OF
all bodies like the railway commission to
construe its powers too broadly and to
gradually encroach upon territory not prop
erly belonging 10 It, This H. indeed the
chief, and In fact. tho only danger arising
under the exercise of such plenary AUTHOR
ity as has been given by our railway regu-
lative statute. Not to go far enough would
be q waste of time and energy and money .
to 60 TOO far Is to become oppressive and
invite the interior enee and possibly the
hostile action OF the courts.
u may be that the conviction that the
commission was transcendinG It's leglt-
mate authority. which has resulted In the
institution OF the big suit in the Federal
courts attacking the commission and qucs-
tboning the very constitutionality of the
commission law, was to some extent in
fluencei by this attempt to regulate the
compress business. The Post fawors rail
way commission heartily, but II certainly
does not want to see II reach beyond its
Legitimate sphere OF action and Thereby
endanger its popularity and value TO the
public.
