A CONF ROMISE
House Committee Votes to Strike
Out the Fertilization
Clause
In the Hepburn Canal Bill, and
It Is Expected It Will
Pass. IS, #
Measure to Be Taken Up by
House for Consideration
May | and 2.

!. WASHINGTON, April 21.-The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce has made an important
change in the Hepburn Nicaragua canal
bill, striking out the provision for the
fertilization and thus providing what
is expected to be a compromise which
will aid in bringing the measure to
early consideration.
The amendment was presented by Mr..
Barham (Cal) The chairman of the
committee was ordered to offer the same
as a committee amendment thereto.
The amendment was agreed to, not
without some expression of reluctance,
but with view to overcoming opposi-
ton and securing action. In its new
form the section reads: j j..
+ "Be it enacted, etc. That the presi.
dent of the United States be and is
hereby authorized to acquire from the
states Of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, for
and in behalf Of the United States,
control and possession Of such portion
Of the territory now belonging to Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, as may be desir-
able and necessary to excayate, con-
struct and protect q canal Of such depth
and capacity as will be sufficient for the
movement Of ships Of the greatest ton
mage and draft now in use, from point
near Greytown, on the Caribbean sea,
via Lake Nicaragua, to Breto, on the
Pacific ocean and that such sum as may
be necessary to secure such control is
hereby appropriated out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated. ~ .-..... - S.
Section Q, that when the president has
secured full control over the territory in
section / referred to, he shall direct the
secretary of war to excavate and con-
struct canal and waterway from a
point on the shore of the Caribbean sea,
near Greytown, by way of Lake Mica .
ragua to a point near Breto, on the Pa
cific ocean. Such canal shall be Of suf-
fcient capacity and depth as that it
may be used by vessels of the largest
tonnage and greatest depth now in use
and shall be supplied with all necessary
locks and other appliances to meet the
necessities of vessels passing from Grey
town to Breto; and the secretary of war
shall also construct such safe and COM
modious harbors at the ternini of said
canal and such provision for defense as
may be necessary for the safety and
protection of said canal and harbors
Following the announcement of
changes in the bill, Mr.. Hepburn stated
that it had been definitely arranged
that the house would take up the canal
bill on May and 2. Although the COM
mittee on rules has taken no formal
action yet, this appears to be the def
mite understanding. Mr., Hepburn says
the passage Of the bill is unquestion-
able. The main dissent to the change
in the bill came from Mr.. Adamson of
Georgia, who desired to have the words
'fortify" and defend" retained, as
against any doubtful or compromising
phraseology.

will largely remove objection caused by
inequality.
II this is correct. ID would seem only fair
that any company doing business here
should have the right to make such con-
tracts. II would doubtless be most unfOr-
tunate for this city. the Capital of the Ma
tion. TO be obliged to have unsightly poles
or housetop fixtures. or seeond-class in
struments or poor construction or unsat-
isfactory service, if something better could
be obtained at rates that were satisfactory
and Just.
Il would be also a misfortune to have
two or more companies doing a general
telephone business here. u would not only
require two, or more telephones in each
subscribers Office, where IL was necessary
for him to talk with the city generally.
but the construction of cOnduits and lines
would keep the streets torn up. and in
convenience the public much more than 70
have the lines all in the control OF Cne
company.
The Court cannot. however. consider the
probable happening of either OF these un-
fortunate conditions. in deciding this case.
Congress and the Commissioners must de
termine the policy to be pursued as to the
care OF the city and the number and char
acter OF the corporations who may be al
lowed TO carry on the telephone business
IN this District. or whether the same shall
be carried on by the Government itself
Without stating further reasons. or max
ing deductions from the vOluminous testi-
mony on other points, / am clearly of the
opinion that this provision OF the said act
IS unconstitutional. by reason of the fact
that the rates fixed thereby are unreasOn-
ably low for the service and supplies TO
which it must be considered they refer.
and. on the whole case. l must. therefore.
decide that the Injunction pendente lite
should be dissolved and the bill dismissed
The same decree should be made in all
the other cases which are consolidated with
this.

In the latest reported case in which this
subject has been considered by the Su-
preme Court (San Diega Land Company VS..
National City, ia Z. S, 757), the follow
ing contention of appellant is approved
THE court should take into considera-
ton the cost of its plant the cost per
annum of operating the plant, including
interest paia on money borrowed and Iel-
sonably necessary TO be used in construct
ing the same. the annual depreciation. of
the plant from natural causes resulting
from its use, and fair profit to the com-
pany over and above such charges for its
services in supplying the water TO con-
sumerS either by way of interest on the
money it has expended for the public use
or upon some other fair and equitable
basis"
The court then adds that 1.-The real value
of the property and the fair value I'm
themselves of the services rendered"
should also be taken into consideration.
1t appears by this case that the statute
of California required the rates in lues-
tion to be fixed annually, thus recognizing
that what might be reasonable prices for
one year might be unreasonable for the
next. The wisdom of such a Limitation is
evident, and 1t would have been well in
the law now under consideration to have
had some time and machinery for changing
the rates, for it is contended that since
June 80, 1885, there has been decided in
crease in the cost of copper wire and other
materials used, by bthe defendant in main
tanning its plant and business.
Authorities have been cited which state
in substance that such a question as this
is always an embarrassing one to judi
cial tribunal. because ii Is primarily for
the determination of the Legislature or of
some public agency designated by it. When
il is alleged, however, that a statute in
vades or destroys rights secured by the
Constitution, a judicial question arises.
and the courts mut answer it as they
would any other such question, taking
care, however,, not to entreneh upon the
