THE BROOKLYN'S ORDERS.
She Is to start for Southern Waters
Today.

The powerful armOred cruiser Brook
lyn, now at New York. received orders
vest terday TO sail to the south, ana it
is expected that she will leave New
York today. Her sailing orders are for
a cruise in the West Indies.
She Will proceed first TO the North
Atlantic squadron now at Dry T0rtugas.
Her special orGsrs are after rendezvous
ing there to show the American flag in
the West indies. In obedience to these
orders the Brooklyn VIII go to st. Thorn
as, Santa Cruz, AspinwalI and ports in
the West Indies generally.
a peculiar instruction TO the Brooklyn
is rhat she shall not enter Cuban waters.
Her going has been reported to the state
Department, which, with the Navy De-
psrtment, insists that there is nothing
in the departure of this spIendid YES
orders.
n peculiar feature of the orders 10 this
ship is apparently incidental, but all tue
more significant. This feature j. the. pro-
hi0ition 20 enter Cuban waters. This shows
that It was feared that the presence OF tiI,.
Maine ana the Brooklyn or or The BROOKLYN

Another significant feature in reference
To the dcpar' Hre Of TINS 5attleship is that
her captain was summoned % Washington

ing in Congress, it is not by any means
foregone conclusion, even III the
minds of the most earnest inveighers
against the railroad interests of. the
country, that the Sherman and For
aker bills, in the principle that un-
derlies them if not in all their detalls,
are unwise measures, but it must be
the conclusion of every fair mind in
formed on the subject that there is
reason to suspect danger to the pub
lie veal in the proposition that under
it's present organization the Inter
state Commerce Commission ought to
be clothed with authority to fix the in.
terstate rates of the railroad corpora
tons which do the interstate commerce
business of the country.
This conclusion was enforced with
much vigor in one of the early opin-
ions of the Commission itself. The
questions of rates." declared the Com
mission, in the person of Judge Coo
ley, its first chairman, assume new
forms and may require to be met dif-
ferently from day to day; and in those
sections of the country in which the
reasons, or supposed reasons, for eX-
ceptional rates are most prevalent the
Commission would, in effect, be re-
quired to act as rate-makers for all
the roads, and compelled to adjust the
tariffs so as to meet the eXigencies of
business. while at the same time en-
deavoring to protect relative rights
and equities of rival carriers and rival
localities. This in any considerable
State would be an enormous task. IN
a country so large as ours, and with
so vast a mileage of roads, 1t would
be superhuman. a construction OF the
statute that would require its per-
formance would render the due ad-
ministration of the law altogether i'm
practicable, and that fact tends
strongly to show that such constrnc-
ton could not have been intended.
The position that the Commission has
not the right to establish rates has
been taken by the courts also; and
now comes the Commission, with GER
tain railroad hackers, asking Congress
to give to it this authority-authority
TO do something the Commission itsef
has declared the doing of which to be
superhuman and unwise.3 This TACT
alone should demand of Congress
careful consideration of the Cuiioih
measure: should require Congress TO
carefully deliberate before reaching the
conclusion that it is a wise measure
before concluding. indeed, that it Is not
a measure full of peril to the interests
OF the public.
The times., 1898-02-02

If the corrts should finally decide
and they seem inclined to-that the
Chicago concern calling itself the AS
sociated Press does not ENJOY moncp
oily of news, the public will be gratified
to learn that the judiciary has partially
learned what everybody else knew before.
The concern in question not only Goes
not enjoy a monopoly of the commodity
in question. but for some time has neen
notorious for furnishing staple OF
most unreliable. not to say stale and de
composed Character. Compare its Span
ish fake news from Cuba with the
truthful Havana service of The Times.

ana bailed BIZ a friend, Jumped his bail and

cities for larceny and embezzlement. In
Kentucky he is charged with emoezziing
funds from the National Insurance Com
pany, of Hartford. The crime was COM

secured sums OF money in payment for
policies issned, which should have been

Proposed Railroad Legislation.

We have been requested by cor
respondent TO inform him concerning
the pronosed railroad legislation now
pending in Congress. aud to state, if
We can, the various interests that are
urging or resisting its enactment.
In reply to this correspondent we
may state that there are three pieces
of proposed legislation that are now
demanding the attention of the country.
and i'm which railroad and commercial
classes are much interested, namely
d) The Foraker or pooling, Dill,
which proposes to permit competing
lines to divide the competitive terri
tory among themselves
t2) The Sherman, or anu-scaiping,
bill.
go The Cullom bill, under which, if
enacted. the Interstate Com
merce Commission would be required
IA make maximum rates for all of the
roads doing interstate commerce busi-
ness.
If we may believe an eminent rail-
road authority, Mr.. Milton II. Smith,
of the Louisville and Nashville road,
no railroad manager is opposed to the
enactment of a law authorizing the di-
vision of traffic, or pooling, in accord
ance with the terms of what is known
as the Foraker bill, nor is there any op-
position upon the part of managers to
the passage of the bill known as the
sherman, or anti-scalping, bill, which
prohibits the sale of railroad tickets by
l,nriva6 oCantS af
the carriers: but adds Mr.. Smith,
notice has been given that no such
legislation can be enacted. unless the
act to regulate commerce is amended
so as to enbody the recommendations
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which, among other things, de-
wolves upon it power to fix the rates OF
the carriers of the United States"
Ii may be true that, as Mr.. Smith
intimates, the Interstate Commerce
Commission has tacitly agreed to per-
NIT the passage of the Sherman and
Foraker bills. upon the understanding
that the legislation controlling rail-
road corporations will permit the pas
sage of the Cullom bill; and some col
or is given to this suspicion by the
fact that Mr.. Depew, the president of
the New York Central road, has declar-
ed his approval of the proposition to
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
