 Senate. MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT Recommends the Passage of
 Such a Measure. The xyss of the Gallant Naval Con struetor Have Been Injured by His Work for the 0ovsrnmsnt

Washington, Feb. 1.-The President to' day sent to the Senate message rec om~ mendine the retirement of Naval Con- structor Richmond P. Hobson and in ae' cordance with this recommendation Senator oallinger immediately introduced . bill providing for MT. Hobson's transfer to the retired list.
 In his message the President give1 as his reason the trouble that MT. ltcsson has had since 1900 with his eyes and re- cites the history of that trouble
 It appears that In June. 1900 he was ads mitted to the naval hospital at rokeho- ma, Japan. when. according to the records, he suffered from weakness cf the eyes and retintis. which innrmities it was stated had been contracted while on duty In repairing ships at Hong Kong. In January. 19o2, he was examined by 2 re- tiring board which decided that his in- capacity was not such as to jugtif, re- tirement.
 The Presidents message concludes as follows: ''without suggesting that any injustice has been done by this finding. and while in effect pronouncing 1t cor ,ec4. MT. Hobson states that in a letter ad- dressed to the Secretary of the Navy Feb. 5. 1902 that "The duty required in the construction corps in connection with plans and blue prints and in connection with inspection and supervision in the glare at, ship yards, requires just the kind of use the eyes that is painful and injurious and would tend to thwart tbeir recovery that the condition of his eyes has improved since his return to the United States while on special duty not | in the usual line of work of the esnstruc- I ton corps but that Under thess fGvora- ble conditions the irritation and sensi- tiveness continue and show that he should not undertake work that taxes the eyes In the future he accordingly asks such legislation authorizing his re- tirement as for disabilities incurred in the line of duty.
 This request is approved by the Chief Constructor and by the Secretary of the Navy.
 "In consideration of the foregoing. bus especially of the gallant service rendered by Mir. Hobson in the sinking of the Marrimac in the harbor of Santiago dur ing the recent war with Spain recom- mend the enactment of favorable meas ure for his relief"
 The bill introduced by Senator Gal finger authorizes the President ito trans- fer to the retired list of the navy. as for disabilities incurred in the line of duty. Navy Constructor Richmond P. Hobson. U. s. N.. at the rate of pay provided by Section 1888 of the revised statutes in the case of officers retired on account of incapacity resulting from long and faithful service"

In the United States Supreme
Court the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, plaintiff,
against T. r. Eubank, gained a
decision reversing that of the
Supreme Court of Kentucky. The
case involved the validity of the
Kentucky constitutional provision
affecting the long and short haul
clause of the Interstate Commerce
Commission laws, regarding arbi-
trary charges for freightage over
various interstate distances. The
Supreme Court held that a state
had the right to regulate rates
within its borders, but that its
province could not extend into an
other state, thus coming into con-
hictwith the law enacted by Con-
press.
