TO REMEDY DEFECTS.
Senator Cullom's Bill to Amend the
Interstate Commerce Law.

Senator Cullom's Bill to Amend the
Interstate Commerce Law.
Senator Cullom today introduced a new
bill for the amendment of the interstate
commerce law. The bill is intended to
cover the defects of the present law as
indicated by the courts. 1t gives the in
terstate commerce commission authority
to prohibit any railroad company or other
common carrier from charging more for a
long than a short haul over the same line.
Orders of the commission are to be con-
strued administrative orders and Ure
subject to the right of review.
The bill requires common carriers to file
schedules of their rates with the commits
sion and requires a specification of such
carriers as are parties to any joint tariff
and also evidence of the commissioners ac-
ceptance of the same. The bill also con-
fers upon the commission the right to de-
termine and fix rates where these are un-
reasonable and also to decide in cases OF
dispute on joint reductions the proportion
of each road affected. 1t prescribes penal
ties and methods of prosecution for vio-
lations of the law, and is intended general
ly to make the law for the regulation of
interstate commerce effective. 1t deals es-
pecially with the administrative features
of the law and does not take up the ques-
tion Of pooling in any of its aspects.

Departure for Chicago of the Gov.
ernment's Representatives.
The assistant secretary of state, Mr. Grid
Ter, Lieutenant Commander Phelps and Ma
jor Heist. representing President Mckinley
and the government, left for Chicago last
night to meet President Dole of Hawaii.
Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister, accom-
panied them.
1t was stated this morning in New York
paper that ex-Queen Liliuokalani has just
received message that her old friend
Major Carter will arrive with President
Dole. 1t was stated that her agents are
scheming to bring President Dole face to
face with her at some public function. 1t
was also declared Major Carter would
bring money to refurniSh the exhausted ex-
chequer of the ex-queen and the Hawaiian
delegation. The eX-Queen was quoted as
saying that she thought President Dole
would call to see her. as he was an old
friend. and she had gone to school with
him. The interview declared further that
Mr. Dole contemplated a young Hawaiian
heiress. but the match was broken
off The ex-aueen is further quoted as say
ing that she would be much surprised if
Mr.. Dole failed to call upon her
Mr.. Joseph Heleluhe, thesprivate secretary
to Liliuokalani, was seen by Star reporter
in regard to the published interview. The
clipping was shown to the ex-queen and
she denied positively that she had made
such a statement attributed to her She
stated further that she had seen no one
connected with the paper in which tie in
terview was published and that it was
manufactured out of the whole cloth
Mr. Heeuhe said he could not speak re-
garding the mission here of Major Carter.
1t is believed. however. that he may try to
bring about an interview between Liliuoka-
lani and President Dole. SO that matters
can be set on foot for the granting of the
pension to her.

SMALL CHANCE TO SAVE.
About Forty Replies Received From
POstmastcrs.

About Forty Replies Received From
POstmastcrs.
ABOUT forty postmasters have replied to
the circular sent cut by Postmaster Cen
eral Gary asking what savings could be
made in the administration of their offices
during the remainder of the fiscal wear in
order to avert a deficiency in the postal an
preparation. Nearly all of them set ont
that their offices are now being run on an
economical basis and that further reduc-
ton of working force is out of the question.
The few exceptions to this rule admit that
some saving might be made but say ii will
cripple the existing service to cut down
the force of employees. Meanwhile, personal
remonstrances against any reduction in
force that will impair the carrier delivery
are being made to the officials here.
Among those who called at the DEPART
ment for this purpose yesterday were SEN
ators Hoar- aid Aldrich, Postmasters
Thomas of Boston and Warfield of Balti-
r. I.
Now that Congress has been made OFF,
cially acquainted with the amount of prob
able deficiency, and the determination to
cut the number of deliveries IL no approc
priation is made to meet 1t, the opinion is
expressed that some aid will be given the
department. Even if it is not forthcoming,
the officials say, a good purpose will be,
accomplished by the information received
from postmasters in reply to the circular
OF inquiry. in that it will serve as a basis
for future calculations of the requirements
OF the service in the localities affected.
Postmaster O'Donnell of Pittsburg was
at the Post Office Department today and
protested against any cut in his carrier
force. He showed that the increase in re-
ceipts at his Office for a certain period
were the largest in his experience as post
master, and said he needed more carriers
than he now had.
Representative Hull of Iowa called in be-
half of the office at Des Moines More
carriers were needed there, he said as it
was proposed to extend the present car.
rier limits. Any reduction would be an
impairment of the service
Representatives Pearce and Joy of Mis-
souri, were also on hand to protest against
any reduction in the service at St. Louis.
Here, too, more carriers were needed. as
those already at work were putting tn
more time than the law permits

is not in sympathy with either his civil or
his military policy. He is simply the rep
resentative of the Sagasta ministry. which
Is seeking to sustain the monarchy. With
the majority of the officers in Cuba the SEN
timent of loyalty to the present dynasty is
not strong. A few. like Gen. Arolas, are of
republican leanings.
1t is doubtful If the members of this
class care enough for Don Carlos to en-
courage a revolution which would place
Carlist on the throne. Their preference,
appare ntly, Is for a Spanish republic. How
-ser. the majority of the officers are con-
ScTvatives. Their family connections are
mostly with the conservatives in the
cortes. They are therefore predisposed to
sympathize with the intransigente Span
iards in Cuba. who in the beginning made
such determined stand against autonomy.
The sentiment of devotion to the throne

HSiy. In the event of war with some other
power tfeir patriotism would come out

mind that the government of Spain is ne
culiarly sensitive to this military infiu-
ence Tacit admission has been made that
