MIR. LAsslTER's STATEMENT.

Fort Worth. Texas. December IN. II,
Lassitcr, attorney for the Rock Island. in
referring to the Injunction decision OF Judge
Mccormick, said that some inaccurate
statements had recently been printed in
the newspapers about II. Attorney Las
sitter said that the effect of the decree
was not to abolish the railway commits
slon as some seemed to think. bat to pre-
vent II from making lower rates than thosa
in effect in 1884. 1t had never been sought
TO have the commission abolished. Another
mistake was tine idea that the supreme
court had reversed the former decision OF
Judge Mccormick. In the matter of rates.
pending a final decision, only those roads
parties TO the suits are directly affected,
The other roads would still be subject to
the action OF the commission had not thai
body itself absolved them.

no power To tax the agcnclas OF the state
