MAINTENANCE OF RATES
PRESIDENT THOMSON's VIEWS AS
GIVEN IN HIS ANNUAL REPORT.
He Thinks Additional Legislation by
Congress Is Accompaniment
laneous Railway News.

President Thomson, of the Pennsylvania
lines. in his annual report refers TO the rate
situation as follows: "In the annual re-
port for 1895 reference was made to the for
nation of the Joint Traffic Association. The
belief was then expressed that through
fits fundamentally not only would substan-
tial economies be enforced I'm the admins
tration of the service, but stability and uni
formity of rates secured to the public and
the violent fluctuations in rates prevented,
which tend alike to disturbance of values
and TO unjust discrimination The belief
was also expressed that the association
would be "a potent agency in enabling the
1nterstate-commerce Commission to enforce
the provisions and secure the results sought
to be accomplished by the passage of the
act to regulate that branch of commerce.
Almost Immediately after its formation the
legality of the association was attacked in
the courts. and during the last year the
Supreme Court of the United States held
it to be in violation of the antitrust act,
whereupon the agreement under which ii
was formed was Cancelled and the associa-
ton dissolved. The railways are, therefore,
not now permitted to make agreements for
the establishment and maintenance of rea-
sonable rates on traffic. As the railways
of the United States employ over eight hun
dred thousand men, and disburse annually
in payment OF wages and purchase of sup
plies nearly eight hundred millions of dol
lars (nore than one-tenth OF which employ
ment and disbursement is appurtenant to
the operation OF your system). 1t is to be
hoped that such legislation may be promptly
enacted will enable those intrusted with
the management of these properties TO
maintain them IN the highest state of effici-
the public, and 10 protect the interests of
their owners as well as of the army of en-
ployeS upon whose experience and judg-
ment the safety of travel and the prompt
movement of traffic so materially depend"

ter, says regiment day can be disn-
fected at the city quarantine station and
on the steamer Santce, chartered by the
government. and fitted up with a steam
disinfect.ng plant. While the direct ques-
ton was not asked him, it was judged from
what ne said that it is his opinion that all
che regiments yet to arrive, of which there
are six. can be disinfected within the de-
sired time. The work on the Second Louis
lana Regiment progressed rapidly and with
the experience gained it is not doubted an
entire regiment can easily be handled in
a day
The marine hospital service demands the
arrival of transports with troops before
April l. The proclamation of the city holds
up the dsinfection of the vessels until
April 10. so that if it were not for the gov
ernments restrictions, there would be no
bar offered by the city until the later date.

had been other arrangements made. He

LOUIsIANANs IN CAMP.
Have the Site Formerly Occupied by
the First Texas.

the First Texas.
The Second Louisiana Regiment is in
camp on the site occupied by the First
Texas when it was here with the Seventh
Army Corps. The location adjoins that
upon which the Second was encamped
while it was here before, and the change
is an advantage.
The entire regiment came up yesterday
from Fort Pulaski where il arrived last
Wednesday from Havana. Seven compa-
MES arrived on a lighter in tow of a'tug
at O'Clock in the afternoon, and at about
10 last night the remaining five companies,
Col Elmer E. Wood and regimental head
quarters and The band reached the wharf
by the same means. Wagons were in
waiting for the troops. and they were
taken to the camp. From the wharf to the
camp would have been long march for
the men, and they were all glad the quar-
termaster department had furnished trans
pcrtation.
The officers report that the health of
the regiment has been very good since it
left Savannah four months ago for Cuba.
Not man was left on The island There
were no sick to be taken care of by the
hospitals, and the entire regiment is back
as it left, with the exception of two who
died and those now away on furlough or
sick leave, or who have secured dis
charges. The men who died were privates,
one of whom was shot, while the other
died of a disorder, by which ne was seized
while in Cuba.
One of the officers. who came up in the
afternoon was asked If the work of the
surgeons at the quarantine station had
been found thorough. He said ID appeared
to him that every precaution was being
exercised, and that there would be slight
danger of disease germs finding entrance
into The city through the coming of the
Second Louisiana, even though they
might have been among the troops before
they were disinfected. But there was not
an officer or man who believed there were
germs Of contagion among the men or
their effects and for this reason the dis
infection was moi taken TO as kindly as
it might have been 1t involves a good
deal of work. and the officers and men are
put to inconvenience in opening up their
effects and having them go through the
intense heat to which they are subjected.

the officers believe they viii be able TO
make all the preliminary arrangements
within three weeks, and that the regiment
will be out Of The service in about tnat
time.
An officer Of the command said yesfer-
day that the report that the New YORK
officers had iuterfered with the progress
Of the work OF disinfecting at the quaran-
tine station was a mistake He said every
officer from the colonel down had, on the
contrary, afforded assistance and examples
to the men He said it was difficult TO
make the men enter into the spirit OF me
thing as they had had no sickness OF a
contagi nature among them, and
thought IL useless that time and trouole
should be lost IN the effort 10 Kill germs
that did not exist.
1t was said the officers readily submit
ted their effects for disinfection and en-
eouraged the men to produce theirs. The
officer said thorough work was being done,
but there seemed to be a sort OF refuta-
ton of this statement in the display OF
his bag, the contents Of which, ne sad
had not been subjected to the disinfectanSs
There was no clothing in the bag but il
contained handkerchief and other cloths
a comb and brush and odds and ends. 1t
would seem that the bag and its con-
tents would be as likely as anything else
to spread infection.
The regiment has had a lot of sickness
since leaving Savannah for Cuba, but
there have not been many deaths. The
men had fever but it was of the malarial
type. IL is said there were as many as
600 cases in the regiment IN one month,
though the majority were Crifiing. Among
those who died, and there were only three,
was Assistant Surgeon Wood. Another
man, a private died after he had reached
home on sick Turlough, and another died In
Cuba. On the records his death is as
cribed to yellow fever but an officer says
this was matter OF doubt.
The baggage OF officers and men was
disinfected on the Thomas before she sail
ed yesterday. Formaldehyde was used.
Two old mortars of the vintage of 1893
were among the freight. They were taken
from the Spanish fortihcations, and will
go 10 some city to be mounted as curiosi-
ties. The body of a member of the re-
serve hospital force was also brought on
the vessel and turned over to the express
company for shipment home.

FAvORs GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Understood Council Is willing for
National Quarantine.

At an early day it as expected that the
city officials VIII communicate with the
authorities at Washington with a view to
learning upon what terms the city's quar-
antine may be put under the governments
control The aldermen are said to general
ly favor the change, il it can be accom-
plished on terms which will be advantag-
eous to the city.
Alderman Graham's resolution adopted
at the last meeting of Council provides for
an investigation Of the matter This viii
probably be done by the public health COM
mittee. The conditions al quarantine now
are such that the benefits of a change
could be looked into from the government s
standpoint without a great deal of expense.
Government officers are at the station
looking after the disinfection of the troops
and the chances are a complete report of
the situation could be obtained through
them If the city succeeds in bringing the
matter TO an issue before the officers leave.
