THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Mr.. Chandler Testifles ON the Condition Of
the Telegraph In this Country and Gov
eminent Ownership Of It.

Washington, March 6.-The indus
trial commission resumed its hearings
in this city yesterday for the first
time since the return of the sub-com-
mittee from New York. Mr.. A. Is.
Chandler, of New York, president OF
the Postal Telegraph company, testi-
fed upon the condition Of the tele-
graph in this country. He said that
since 1883 there has been an agree
ment between the Postal and Western
Union Telegraph companies under
which both companies have practi-
cally the same scale of rates. The
witness said that the telegraph COM
panies are now endeavoring to ex-
tend the same rate over as much ter
ritory as the efficiency of the service
will permit, in order to bring the sys-
TEN of rates more toward uniform
ity. He thought that the rates in the
United States were lower than those
fixed in foreign countries. In his
opinion the United States government
could conduct the telegraph accept
ably to the public and because OF the
absence Of necessity to make divi-
dends the government probably could
operate the telegraph little cheaper.
Mr.. Chandler thought that the best
way to secure the valuation of the
telegraph property was to adopt uni
formity throughout the union, the
method employed in Connecticut,
where a single assessment is made,
which is paid to the state authorities,
who divide 1t among the several mu-
nicipalities.

found guilty.
Jones was brought into the court
room this morning and conversed with
Mungerman, the next man to be tried,
and did not seem to be perturbed over
the fact that he will, in all likelihood,
see the inside of the states prison at
Ft. Madison. His attorneys have out
lined the grounds upon which they will
ask for new trial but there is nothing
out of the ordinary in their allegations.
