UNFouNDED REPORTS.


Comnlission Will Seek No Enlarge.
Ment of Its Powers.
Austin, Texas, December 26.--Much rot
ps being written and published about what
will be asked for 10 behalf of the railroad
commission from the Twenty-sixth logisla-
ture. Increased power and large appro-
priations will 1t is intimated, be sought by
that body. Drastic bills, aimed at rail-
road and other corporations, will, IT is pre-
dicted, be introduced at its suggestion. and
advantage will be taken of the feeling OF
seneral dissatisfaction created by the alb
normal advance in freight rates which has
followed the entering Of the Mccormick
decree, to badger ana prague all concerns
engaged in the business Of affording fa-
ciiities by rail for travel and the inter-
change OF traffic. There is no foundation,
In fact, for anuicipations of this nature.
however. The commission has all the pow
er 1t needs to accomplish the purposes of
it's creation and Is not seeking the least
enlargement thereof. Such suggestions as
it makes In dta report to the incoming leg
islature in the direction OF needed legisia-
ton embrace nothing that can be construed
into q plea for an increase of an already
extensive jurisdiction. No trace OF de-
sire 10 HuIuoS lUt ohu diiiVh IVAN
panies can be discovered therein and there
can be no object in interpreting them
otherwise except to revive the worn out
cry of enmity to capital with which every
proposition for the necessary regulation OF
corporations has been met in THIS statc
since 1880.
AS to the appropriation for its mainte-
names, the commission asks $65,920 for the
ensuing two years. For the two years end
ing February 20, 1899, the Twenty-fifth
legislature gave 1t but SET, $50, which has
not quite covered the necessary expenses
From this II will be seen that there is DC
truth whatever in the story Of big ap-
preparations sought. and when 1t Is re-
membered that s67,50O has been recovered
in penalties from the railroads during the
past twelve months the conclusion Is
forced that the commission has after all
paid Its own way and is in reality asking
for less than II has been instrumental III

Austin. Texas, December c6.--Judging
from language attributed to several rail-

road commissions order Calling for the
Ming OF time tables and other data rel
Alive to the running OF passenger trains 1t
seems that the purpose OF said order has
been mistaken by some OF those to whom
It IL addressed. President Montseratte of
the Arkansas Pass. for instance, II correct-
~ reported, has failed to catch on to what
the commission 10 after. He is OF the opin
ion, II seems. that the commissioners pro-
poee to undertake to 50 regulate the ar
rival and departure OF passenger trains at
ail points as to satisfy everybody.
But such is mot the case. The commission
Is not going into the business OF trying 10
accomplish an impossbility. What ii ex-
poets to be able to do Is to prevent the
arbitrary breaking OF connections at cross
Ing points as well as to compel the givinf
OF such service as Is warranted by the
patronage youchsafed. Every person who
has travelled at AN in Texas has at one
Vlne or another run UP against the condl-
lions obtaining at Elgin, Hearne, Tempt,
and other junction points when there is an
absence OF friendly relations between the
roads which cross there. Often has It been
that persons who wished to change trains
at these places have seen the cars they
intended to board to continue their journey
pull out, In conformity with deliberately
adopted plan. Just one minute before they
could make the connection, AID been forced
to walt from six to ten hours for an OPP
portun!ty to proceed ON their travels Re-
fusal to sell coupon tickets via certa. n
junction points which are as common as
the Intentional missing OF connections
thereat have also baen frequently met with
at an expense Of much valuable time az
the route by which travel is forced In
suth instances is aKMslly the longest.
With regard TO service, there are some
pieces of road in the State where mixed
trains are the best one gets. although this
volume OF traffic Is such AZ to call for
something more expeditions.
These are the conditions which the com
mission seeks hight on with view to bet
terhrg them and 1t was for this purpose
solely that the order calltrg for lnforna-
tion with regard to tho running of pas
sengcr trains was made.
