the Circuit Court based upon numerous
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, is that while the commits
sion has the constitutional and statutory
authority to regulate and to fix freights
and fares. yet the same must be just
and reasonable, and if not so, the ques-
ton as to whether or not they are just
and reasonable may be investigated and
determined by a court of competent juris-
diction; it having been determined, so
the court holds and decides, that if the
Legislature or a commission created by
the Legislature shall have justly and
reasonably regulated and fixed freights
and fares of common carriers, the same
must be sustained by the courts: but if
on the contrary, they are as fixed by the
Legislature or a commission unreasona-
BILE and unjust and confiscatory in their
character, then the court will declare
them to be void and of no effect
The respondent, the Railroad Commits
sioners, in it's answer to complainants
bill, in addition to denying all the alIega-
tions thereof raised a number of impor-
tant affirmative defenses, among which
was the alleged unlawful combination of
the so-called Pacific system and the ille-
gality of the leases made by the constit
uent railroads composing said system
made to the Southern Pacific. The court,
III passing upon IneSe important PROPOSE
tions held that the commission was
estopped from raising them, because in
its resolution it had recognized the sys-

while it was the duty of the commission
to regulate and fix freights and fares, yet
it had no jurisdiction to investigate ques-

railroads and transportation companies
or contracts made or entered into by
them for purposes of combination or 9TH

Thus it will be seen that the sole and

STANDARD
OIL DEPOT
DESTROYED
Terrific Explosions Accom-
pany a COnflagration
at Fresno.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO. May 13.-The depot of the
Standard Oil Company, near the north
ern limits Of the city, was destroyed by
fire tonight The confagration was
preceded by a terrific explosion. which
shook the earth for distance of a half
mile in every direction. The explosion
scattered sheets Of fame over all the
surrounding tanks and buildings and
almost instantly the whole depot, COW
ering an acre of ground, was in flames
Sheets of fire shot high into the air,
Illuminating the entire city. Every few
minutes explosions occurred which
could be heard miles away. Huge pieces
of the iron tanks were hurled a dis
tance of two blocks
The storage depot consisted of four
kerosene tanks, each containing 10000
gallons Of refined oil. In addition to
these there was Il 10000 gallon tank of
gasoline, beside several smaller tanks
containing all kinds Of oil.
The fire started in the corner of the
depot where the oil was taken from
the large tanks and placed in cases for
retail use.
The company used a furnace in the
depot, but Frank Hoppeck, the local
manager. declares there had been no
fire in the furnace for the last two
days. The employees Of the company
are not permitted to carry matches
when on the grounds, and the origin OF
the fire is therefore a mystery. The
vicinity of the tanks had always been
a nesting place for tramps. and it is
supposed that they are responsible for
the conhagration.
The loss, including buildings and oil,
probably will be ST 900. Two fine
horses were destroyed, and a small
tenement house, occupied by a colored
fau1ilv was burned

Measures Promulgated to
Keep Them Out of St.
Petersburg.
ATTACKED BYRIOTERS
Serious Outbreaks at NioOlai9ff, in
Which LabOrers Commit Many
OutrageS.

| ONDON, May I3.-The
- Russian Government has de
cided upon exceptional measures
against the Jews, doubtless ow-
ing to the intense feeling against
them prevailing in many parts OF
Russia at the present time. The
first anti-Jewish measure was
promulgated yesterday, when the
stay of all-even foreign-Jews
was prohibited in St. Petersburg.
No exemption will be made
even in the case OF French Jews.
There have been serious out
breaks against the Jews at Nico-
laieff, in connection with the
Easter festivities OF the Greek
church. The Jews there number
10000, out OF a total population
of 100, 900.
The ri, ters. who were mostly
laborers, numbered 5000. They
wrecked hundreds OF Jewish
houses and shops, desecrated
Jewish graves and killed and cap
tured large number. About 500
of the rioters were arrested after
several furious conflicts with
COssacks, several OF whom, it is
reported, were stoned or beaten
to death with heavily weighted
sings. with which the rioters at
tackled the police.

Inc secret report written by Commits
sioner Blackstock and the other report
revised, enlarged, changed and prac-
tically rewritten by William F. Herrin
are almost Identical in the opening
pages. Blackstock's report never saw
the light of public investigation. Her
rms report was published and filed
over the signature of Blackstock. A
comparison between the two demon
strates beyond the slightest douht how
thoroughly the recreant Commission
ers submitted themselves to the will
of the Southern Pacific COMPANY
When Blackstock wrote his original re-
port 1t was evident that he still ra-
tained a sense of truth and was abIa
to present facts as they exist.
The Commissioner reviewed tho
grain case in the Circuit Court ana
honestly presented it's status. with bora.
and there an allusion to what tbo
Southern Pacific Company thinks on
the subject. If that part of the renor+
instead of Herrin's revision and ax
pansion, had been published .Tudga
Morrow would not have received the
insult offered to him.
In this part Of the report Blackstock
says:
The court, after elaborate arguments

sci on behalf of the commission. and bv
counsel for the complaint. took the mat
ter of the temporary injunction under
advisement and on November 80. 1896. the

Brainard SCHOOL commencement.


The closing exercises of this school
the last of our local institutions to close
occurred at the opera house on Thursday
evening. The weather was delightful,
much cooler than is usual on such occas
ions, and an audience of friends, which
unfortunately was little larger than the
seating capacity of the house. afforded
encouragement and inspiration to the per
formers
The exercises gave evidence of the
thoroughness which is characteristic of
the school, while the variety of the pro-
gramme indicated the recognition of in
dividual talents and the opportunity given
for individual development
This was noticeably true of the fecita-
tions These were all quite ambitious
and were given with a naturalness and va
riety of style which made it difficult to
realize that all had been trained by one
teacher.
The instrumental music, which has been
school, was again of particularly high
order and the vocal selections were all
well rendered.
A drill and two illustrated readings all
gracefully accomplished, gave proof of
careful physical training. This has now
become part of the curriculum in most
schools
The pupils received many remembrances
in the shape of flowers and more substan-
tial gifts from friends, and may be con
graduated upon tasks well done and va
cation we'll earned

PALMYRA 10. DE1ANoo z.

Palmyra defeated Delanco on the latter's
ground by good stick work early in the
game. Torrie was hit hard during the
first three innings, the visitors scoring 10
runs. Queen, new pitcher, was sub

during the remaining six innings.
The features were the batting of Den
