A CHANGE IN THE C. & o.
President Ingalls, to Retire From Its
Active Management.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 11--President NJ. E.
ingalls,. of the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Big Four railroads. returned from New
York to-day. and gave out the following
statement:
Ten years ago a combination composed
Of the Vanderbilts. Mr.. Morgan. and others
including myself. bought control Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. We have
held il for ten years, and I have devoted
much of my time and work to 1t. 1t has
grown from poor and worn-out corpora
ton TO strong and powerful railroad. so
good that it has attracted the notice OF
others. and We have Just sold our inter-
ests. While in the future I expect to be
largely interested in the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway, through certain interests
that I represent / do not propose to any
longer be a slave to its service, or be re-
sponsibIe for its active management.
This change may come in a month or
in six months. just when the new owners
conclude they are ready to assume the
responsibility. At the same time | had
thought when going out Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio 1 would get out of the Big Four
and join the great army Of unemployed.
but after talking with Mr.. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Morgan. who have been my friends for
many years and who advised and re-
quested me TO stay with the Big Four and
with them, | have decided to do so. and
shall remain as president of the Big Four.
which is to-day. a Vanderbilt Institution
and will remain so

FRIDAY. JANUARY 70, 1900.


The Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representatives has undertaken
an interesting Investigation through a
subcommittee consisting of Messrs. Dali
zcll, Grosvenor. and Hopkins, Republicans.
Mr.. Richardson, Democrat. and Mr.. New
lands, Populist. The question to be de-
cded is expressed in the resolution pro-
riding for the subcommittee. 1t reads:
Resolved That n committee OF five be APP
pointed TO report the authorities and the law as
TO The meaning OF the term United States in
that provision Of the Constitution which declares
that 'all duties mposts and excuses shall be uni
form throughout the United States whether IT
includes simply the actually included within
the boundaries Of States whether it covers also
the territory belonging to the United States.
it is to be regretted that a decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States could
not be had at once upon this matter. The
conclusions which the subcommittee OF the
Ways and Means Committee may reach
may be valuable, but they will be merely
opinionative and Will not carry the weight
of judicial authority. 1t is indeed highly
desirable that the country should know
without unnecessary loss of time how far.
under the Constitution, the limits of the
United States extend. Precedent and Gus
tom IL alone depended upon would make
them coierminous with the territory COW
cred by American sovereignty. But If the
views of the strict protectionists are 10 be
adopted, and the constitutional mandate is
10 be construed agreeably 10 their inter-
ests. then free trade between different parts
OF the Union is only legal within the b0un-
AZ
IONA. New Mexico. Oklahoma, and Alaska
are foreign places against which the terrors
OF the Dingley system should be enforced,
equally as much as against the newer terri
tories of Hawaii. the Philippines, Guam.
and Porto Rico.
We are not advised that the people who
came 10 us by the cession of Florida, or
under the Louisiana Purchase or by the
Treaty Of Gaudaloupe Hidalgo, were starved
by any exclusion of their productions from
American markets. On the contrary, we
are much mistaken IL trade with all these
possessions did not, ipso facto, become do
nestle and free by constitutional ratifica-
tion of the treaties Of purchase or cession,
which incorporated them with the general
territory OF the United States. At least
one proposition in connection with this i'm
portant subject appears to be sufficiently
clear. Either our newer possessions are
entitled TO all the commercial rights en-
joyed in the matter of internal trade be-
tween the States, by the original Common
wealths, or such dependencies as Arizona
and New Mexico are not; for, if the consti-
tutional declarations that ''all duties, i'm
ports, and excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States" is not broad
enough to cover Porto Rico, neither can it
be said to cover Oklahoma, which is not
yet a State any more than the other.

WHITE HOUSE TOPICS.
Mr.. Schurmnn mud. the Philippine
CommissiOn's Report.

Mr.. Schurmnn md the PhiIippine
CommisslOn's Report.
Among the callers at the White Houss
yesterday was President Schurman, OF tho
Philippine Commission. He conferred with
Mr.. Mckinley about the report Of the COM
mission which is being drafted aud will
be ready for submission about the LIST
of February.
In the preparation of the report each
member Of the commission was assigned
certain topics for treatment That of Mr..
Schurman was the government OF the ISL
ands under United States control. IL is
understood that he has practically fin
ished this topic and that he came to SUBJ
init his views to the President in outline
for his appreciation or criticism.
Representative Fitzgerald, OF Massa-
chusstts, called at the White House to
see the President regarding an appoint
ment in his district. Mr.. Mckinley sur
prised his visitor By calling attention TO
a speech OF his in Boston. and compli-
mented Mr.. Fitzgerald warmly upon the
sentiments favorable to expansion which
he voiced on that occasion.
George W. Steele, Of Indiana, was again
with the President this morning for
short time. He came to express his ap
probation OF the action of the Government
in Fastening TO open the hemp ports in
the Philippines. and in behalf OF the farm
ers OF his State to urge upon the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of War to push mat
tiers as rapidly as may be consistent with
military operations In the Islands.

are great many such cases in this city.
This matter of the water supply. Of
course, is nearly related to that of PIE
caution against fire. In nine cases out of
ten fire can be put out before It has done

drill. so that its members may have at least
some chance of remembering what they
ought TO do in such an emergency.
But after all. the great need of most
cities is that of building regulations which
will prevent the erection OF fire-traps.
Architects should turn their attention to
devising some plan for dwelling house
which will be as nearly proof against dis
astrous fire as possible: and the tenant
should inform himself on this point and re-
fuse TO rent a house which is not safe.
The building OF shodiy. uusubstantial
structures. without proper fire escapes,
should be absolutely prohibited b. law; and
the law should be enforced. This is case
where honesty is emphaticaily the best
policy The corrupt alderman who con-
hives at dishonesty in any such matter

fall victims to hotel fire or an epidemic

The church was decorated in back, shroud

PAUPER IMMIGRATION.
MIR. ROsendaIe's Testimony Before
the Industrial Commissions.

The Industrial Commission yesterday
listened to testimony upon the subject Of
foreign labor and immigration. The wit
ness OF the day was Jules Rosendale, Of
Philadelphia, who assisted the Pennsyl-
vania Legislative Committee in 1897 in an
investigation OF the anthracite coal region
of that State.
The witness testified that the great ma
iority of miners in the region was COM
posed of Hungarians and Italians. Pri-
yacy in the homes Of these miners Was
unknown grown children and parents
frequently occupying the same room in
dilapidated shanties. and the earnings be-
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 per week for boys
and girls. and from 1900 to $500 for adults.
The miners are compelled to purchase
their provisions from company stores. at
which the prices are 20 to 20 per cent
higher than at any other store.
The witness averred that il the r1ines
were worked at their full capacity they
could not give employment to the miners
for more than half the wear. thus show
ing that the labor supply is double the
demand He said that European steam
ship agencies advertised that coal miners
could earn from $3.50 to $3.50 per day in
America. and the facts make the better
element of immigrants anxious to return
to their old homes. But a very small
proportion could read and write any Eng
fish. and only 20 per cent their mother
tongue. He says that thirty years ago
the mines were worked by Welsh Irish.
and Germans, who received from SIS TO
$50 week. and that immigration of the
Italians and Huns is largely responsible
fer the present conditions
