IN case war is declared between this
country and Spain, the frst thing the
United States will do will bs TO land
50, 1000 troops in the island of Cuba and
invest Havana from the land side,
while the United States navy will take
care of the port side. This will force
the capitulation Of the Havana fort
resses inside Of ten days after the in
vestment. II is utterly improbable
that Spain Will undertake to land
troops on American soil, and outside
OF the naval battles that are probable,
the two armies must fight their great
battles, IL fought at all, on Cuban soil.
Spain may, and II is quite likely SIZE
will, bombard some Of cur seaports,

CONGRESS IND R1ILW4r RITES

CONGRESS IND R1ILWAT RATES.
One Of the most important legisla-
tive questions which confronts con.
gress is the proper attitude TO be as
sumed by the United States towards
railroads engsgsd in interstate com.
mtree The transportation Of com
modities and OF persons is the chief
industry in tho nation, employing the
most men, demanding the largest cur
rent expenditure, and involving the
greatest amount OF capital Tue rail-
road interests OF the country have suf-
fered greatly duriug the past Ave
years, No such wholesale bank
ruptcies have occurred in any other
industry. In no other kind OF bust.
ness enterprise has so much capital
been swallowed up aud disappeared
In no other vocation are the returns
30 trivial. Spite OF this, while all
other legitimate vocations are recog-
niEsd as entitled TO proper legislative
protection. the legislative attitude to-
wards railroads has assumed the direc-
tion Of repression aud restraint. The
result, as has bsen terse!y stated. is
that In many localities and with refer
ence to many commodities, man who
obeys the statute law can neither
operate a railroad nor ship over rail
road" This is the pass to which this
industry has been brought by incon.
siderate legislation.
IL seems that the railroads are now
to expect new attack. Clamor has
been rsise6 that the supreme court
by construction, has emasculated the
statute, and that congress must forth
with confer all the powers which the
court has said are not at present given.
To speak more concretely, the inter
state commerce commission ia it's an.
nuAl report submitted 10 congress for
adoption and approval demands that
the power 10 make rates be now con.
ferred upon the commission.
Ia a recently Issued pamphlet Col.
Aldaee 4. Walker, OF the Atkinson,
Topeka & Santa Fe rsilway, calls at.
tention to the fact that, II congress
can confer such a power upon com,
