1t may be said right here that Thomas
b. Reed. who is sole proprietor Of the
house of representatives, is getting more
and more determined every day that the
j.ngoes shall not have their way in con.
gress, and that nothing shall lie done TO
provoke hostilities. He will not allow
resolutions Of sympathy with the Insur-
gents or any war measure to be consio-
ere1. A mutiny is organizing. Some
of the members who think something
should be done in the way of interven-
ton 10 Cuba, and that congress ought to
take extraordinary measures to meet
possible emergencies, are preparing for
an assault upon the speaker with the
Intention Of compelling him to permit

Nebraska Maximum Freight Law
Knocked Out by the Federal
Courts.
Declared to Be in CONFIRMATION
of the Fourteenth COnstitu-
tiOnal Amendment.
Opinion of the Court Handed
Down by Mr.. Justice
Harlan.

WASHINGTON, March .S.-The SD.
preme court rendered an opinion in the
Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Harlan, who held the Nebraska law
20 be contrary to the Fourteenth amend.
ment in that it authorized the taking
of property without due process Of law.
and was theref ore invalid. Hence the
railroads won.
This case was instituted to test the
validity of a law passed by the Nebraska
legislature in 1898, prescribing the
maximum rates for the transportation
of freight by railroads within the state.
The act applies specifically to freight
whose transit begins and ends in the
state and there was no effort in its en-.
actment to control interstate freight.
1t affected all the railroads in the state
and the railroad companies instituted
the proceedings which were terminated
by this opinion by fling a bill i'll the
Nebraska circuit court soon after the
law was enacted. The object Of the
bill was to secure an order restraining
| the state officials from putting the law
in force.
Applied Only to State Freights.
The law was attacked on the ground
Of its constitutionality. 1t was charged
that inasmuch as the act applied only
to state freights, it was chargeable with
. discrimination against them, and
therefore against the spirit of the Four.
teenth amendment to the constitution
They contended that the maximum
rate fixed was unreasonable and ruin
Gus to the roads. 1t was also asserted
that the act interfered with interstate
commerce. The state met these allega.
tons with argument in support Of the
validity Of the law, and also with the
counter charge that the case was one
of which the federal court could no,
properly take jurisdiction.
The decision in the circuit court wa:
delivered by Justice Brewer of the su.
preme court, who sustained the conten'
ton Of the railroad companies. anG
held against the validity Of the law
His opinion was based largely upon thu
charge Of unreasonableuess. He mad,
a computation showing that the re
duction effected in freight rate
amounted on an average to 29l,1 pc
cent, which he held was too great
change.
The case has been twice argued i,
the supreme court, Hon. w. J. Bryan
, appearing as one of the counsel for tn
, state at the last hearing. Much inter
est has been manifested in the decision
ever since the case was docketed be
cause Of the probable inluene a resul
favorable to the law would have upo,
legislation in other states.

TO me in my efforts to meet the demands Of
the service; but, as rule, our medical Of
flcers have performed the duties imposed
upon them in most loyal intelligent and
Jealous manner. They have shared With
line officers the dangers of battle and they
have encountered with unfiinching courage
the more difficult and protracted combat
with the Infectious diseases which have in
vaded our camps and filled our hospitals
Many of them have suffered attacks of
typhoid and malarial fevers and at one
time no less than II per cent of the corps
was disabled by sickness. OF those who ar-
companied General Skaters army to San
tlago, few escaped serious sickness, and two
of those who distinguished themselves fer
their devotion to duty lost their lives as
result of exposure to the malign influences
which in so short time sapped the vitality
OF the flower of the American army. But
credit is due not alone to those in the field.
The labors of those on duty as chief sur
geonS of military departments, in charge of
medical supply depots and in other lInpor-
tant positions have been enormously r-
creased, and it has required unremitting
effort to meet the eXisencias of the war.
Ihe increase of the enlisted strength of
the army to total of 10000 and the large
number OF new stations to be garrisoned n
the islands acquired and occupied by the
tinted States, makes an increase in the
n'edlcal corps absolutely essen tial. l there
fore recommend an addition to the number
OF medical officers now allowed by law, of
two assistant surgeons general with the
rank of colonel; six deputy surgeons gen
efdl, with the rank of lieutenant colonel:
thirty surgeons, with the rank of major,
and nifty assistant surgeons, with the rank
Of first lieutenant
This recommendation is based upon the
present organization of the army Anv in

ing session will necessitate Il further in
