Washington. Oct 2j.--Ths United
states supreme court yesterday decided
the Joint Trafls association rnilwGy
case in favor Of the United States and
against the railways.
The case Is considered one Of the
most important tl,et has ever come be-
fore the supreme court, not only TO the
railways, but TO the general public, and
because Of the vast railway properties
represented by the Trafiio association.
The association Vas formed on Nov.
rs, 1895, by thlrty-one railways, repre-
scnting the great trunk lines and their
net work Of branches The purpose OF
the association as stated In the ar
tieles Of agreement was TO establish
and maintain reasonable and just rates,
fa-ss. rules and regulations on state
and interstate trafic"
Justice Peckham annoua rcd the de-
clslOn. lie said that The court could
distinguish no difference between this
case and that OF the Trans-Mlssouri
case, decided against the railroads. lie
said the only point involved was a. 10

act. Tho court had reached the con-
ciusion that II railroad corporations
performed duties of seml-public char
actesFit was within the constitutional

as provided by the antitrust act. The
only question, then was as to the policy
OF congress in adopting such measure
and as 90 the questions OF policy, the
court he said, had nothing TO do.
The opinion, which was very brief
was concurred Ia by Chief Justice Full

American Peace Commissioners VIII Con-
slider Cuban Debt No Longer,

Washington. Oct. 25.--Presldent Nc.
Klnley. convinced that the Spanish
peace commissioners are only seeking
for delay In constantly recurring toI
the question OF the Cuban debt and
their efforts 10 induce the United
states TO assume Il. has Instructed The
American commissioners in Paris "a
refuse to discuss the subject further
This determination on the part Of
the Washington administration will
have the AFFECT Rt leas, Of an ultlmatum
from tbs United States 10 the govern.
mont of Spain that further efforts 10
prolong negotiations by long alscua.
slons on this subject will be at spain'a
own risk.
n, after the receipt OF this notice,
the Spanish commissioners choose 10
recur 10 this matter. they will bo In.
fo.med that tho United states has al.
ready given its answer, and that tbs
question as to whether this country
will or will not assume the Cuban debt
Is no longer a subject for debate.
Preccdents may DO swept aside by
this action, but President Mckinley
and his advisers think that there has
already been too much time wasted In
useless discussion OF a subject upon
which the American commissioners
have received the most implicit in'
structons.
Thoro Is little doubt in the minds Of
the administration omclals here that
Spain has regarded Is attempt to force
the Cuban debt upon Cuba, or to In
duco tho United States 20 assume re-
sponslblllty for Il. as the most lmpor'
iant question that will come before the
peace tribunal at Paris.
The Spanish peace commissioners, Il
Is believed here, have made theiI
greatest fight on this question. and this
future subjects to bo discussed by the
commission will have comp, atiyely
little interest for them.
The disposition OF tho Cuban deb
being matter OF paramount lmpor
tanee to Spain. and having been de-
oided against her by the United states
II Is considered here that the critical
moment OF the peace negotiations has
now come II Spain has any idea ol
making an appeal TO the powers in hei
behalf against the fractions OF Amer
lea, II II thought that she will show
her hand now. She may choose q
Withdraw from the Paris negotiations
and, In order to create tho sympathy
that she has been unable 10 arous,
