INTERSTATE COMMERCE LEGISLATION

- = - - ASAN
The prospect for legislation to
strengthen the interstate commerce act
is not favorable, although the advocates
of such legislation are pressing the mat
ter. The bill introduced by Senator
Elkins has been referred to the Inter
state Commerce commiss!ol for a report
on it's provisions and considerable inter-
est is felt in regard to the reply the
commission will make. 1t is expected
that the measure will be approved In
part, but an objection to it is looked
for because not enough power is pro-
vided for the commission.
The Elkins bill provides for giving the
Interstate Commerce commission au-
thority under certain conditions to fix
railroad rates, legalizing pooling and
abolishing Imprisonment as a method of
furnishing offenses against the law. The
provision with reference to the fixing Of
complaints of discrimination made
against common carriers and directs
that any definite order made by the
commission after such hearing, declar-
ing a rate regulation or practice to be
just and reasonable, shall become oper-
alive and be observed by the party or
parties against whom 1t is made within
thirty days after notice. The section
in regard to pooling provides that it
shall be lawful for any two or more
common carriers TO arrange between
and among themselves for the establish
ment of or maintenance Of rates and 1t
also shall be lawful for such carriers
to agree by contract In writing filed
with the commission upon the division
Of their traffic or earnings, or both.
Authority is given the commission to
near complaints against the fairness of
such pooling arrangements and to make
an order annulling the contract in the
respects found to be unjust and I'M
lawful.
The measure has encountered a num-
Der Of objections, the chief of which is
to the pooling provision, the unpopular
ity of the legalized pooling proposition
being apparently as general and strong
now as 1t has yer been. The hearings
before the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce have de-
veloped the usual diversity OF opinions,
the tendency OF which is to confuse and
thus necessarily TO impair the chances
of legislation. 1t Is stated that Chair
man Knapp Of the Interstate Commerce
commission is rather pessimistic about
the prospect of securing radical amend
ments to the interstate act and thinks
hat it is wiser to ask for such changes
as will make the provisions Of the act
operative. This feeling on the part of
the chairman Of the commission was
disclosed in the views he gave TO the
house committee, which it has been
said did not produce an altogether ia
vorable impression. OF course If all
that may be necessary TO make the law
more effective cannot be obtained at
once 1t would not be wise TO refuse
such changes as "a be secured, but the
advocates Of strengthening the law
should not weaken or abate their efforts
so long as there appears to be q chance

ANT HYPNoTIsTS.
A seance in Medical Science Among solae of the Insects Witnessed
 by a student.


 That ants doctor their sick by hypno- tism and magnetism is proved by ob- seryation. An ardent student tells how he witnessed what may be termed a aseance in medical science among ants. He saw several of these little creatures emerge from the hills and noticed that there were some among them which were weak and emaciated-invalids, in fact. They were accompanied by healthy members of the community, and ali made their way toward dis tant mound.
 On following their movements through glass the observer saw on this mound big and sturdy ant which made some motions in the direction of the advancing invalids. The latter went up the mound one by one, and submitted themselves to treatment. This consisted in the physician ant passing his feeIers over the head and body of the patient in a manner dis tinctly suggestive of the hypnotizing of nerves and muscles practieed by human doctors Every one went through the treatment, then the pa. fiAnfs went back, and the docfoz marched off in the opposite direction.

exceptions. Among the excepted states are Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, in which quail are scarce; moreover, in Montana the sale and in North Dakota the killing of these birds is at present unlaw- ful. Thus practically all the states in which quail occur, except three (which are in the south), prohibit export of these birds at all seasons. Nearly every state in which prairie chickens occur now has 9 nonexport law, the effect of which, combined with sale restrictions, is to make the sale of prairie chickens illegal out side of their normal range.
 In some sections of the United States, notably in Louisiana and Mis- souri, the privilege of hunting is not extended to nonresidents, and in Vir- gihia it is unlawful for nonresidents to kill game in certain parts of the state. In 25 states and everywhere in Canada licenses must be secured before nonresidents may hunt cer- tain game or hunt at all. In nine states and two Canadian provinces a like restriction is imposed on resi- dents, but the fees are usually very much smaller and often merely nom-

CHINA MAKING PROGRESS. Industrial and Commercial Growth of Asia's Greatest Country Is
 an Assured Tlling.

Europeans and Americans who have lived long in China are quite unani- nous in the opinion that the greatest country of Asia, taking account ot area, population and natural resources, is making steady progress industrial ly and commercially. and the general belief is that more rapid gains are as sured for the next few years. Statis- tics of exports and imports tell the same story. So does the development of railways and telegraph lines. The worldwide importance of this progress is not easily exaggerated. It promises to insure the existence of the Chinese empire as an immense Independent state, for it 1essens the force of such pretexts as might have been discovered or invented for dividing or seizing the country. It also makes the interna- tional importance of China so evident and so great that no one European power is likely to find the way open for the absorption of so rich an empire, while the more progressive the Chi nese become the less chance there will be for an agreement between the lead ing nations of the west as toa4he terms of possible partitioning of the mid. de kingdom.

derive from carefully preserving it's fish and game. To secure these bene- fits special laws are necessary, and the general appreciation of this fact is shown by the existence of game laws in practically every state and territory of the union and in all the provinces of Canada. Without such laws many valuable species would soon be exterminated.
 No question in game protection is more important than that of the sea sons during which birds and animals shall be protected, yet there is none in which state laws show greater di- yersity or are more subject to change Lack of uniformity often defeats the purpose of provisions in tended to allow game an opportunity to recuperate and introduces need- less confusion. Moreover, it makes compliance with the provisions of the federal law difficult for shippers and game dealers, who must consider the open seasons in both the state in which theira game is killed and that to which it is shipped. Further con- fusion results from diversity in de- fining the seasons. Some laws give the open seasons, others the closed.

 inal1y. Thus in Nebraska, South Da- kota, Washington and Wisconsin resi- dent licenses cost one dollar, while nonresident licenses vary from $1o to $25, according to the state; in North Dakota and Michigan the fee for res idents is 75 cents, while that for non- residents is $25. Tn Minnesota 25 cents and $25 are the respective charges for licenses to shoot big game. Tn Wyoming the same distinc- tion is observed in the issue of "gun licenses" for hunting big game, a resident being charged a fee of one dollar and required to secure li- cense only for shooting in counties other than the one in which he re- sides, while a nonresident pays $40 for the privilege of hunting any, where within the state. Some of the Canadian licenses are even more ex- pensive, British Columbia demands $50 for general license and New foundland $1O0 for caribou license. Minnesota has a special license with a fee of $25 for nonresidents from states that issue nonresident li- censes; New York makes each nonresident subject to the same restrictions as to license fees and

and in these statements may be found all possible varieties of inclu- sion and exclusion of the dates named. ;,
 Since the constitutionality of the Connecticut statute prohibiting ex- port of certain game was established by the supreme court in 1896 nonex- port laws have been generally adopt ed, and at the present time nearly every state prohibits the export of certain kinds of game. Kentucky and Mississippi seem to have no such laws. Virginia also has no general state law, though several of the counties prohibit shipment. In some states sportsmen are allowed to carry limited amount of game out of the state under special restric- fions and exceptions to the laws pro- hibiting export are also made in the case of birds and animals intended for propagation
 Restrictions for shipment have now become so general that all of the states and territories west of the Mississippi river except six prohibit &h t,tA U O- all t5rt4A&C RA CSCNOCA " 4OT cal laws. Of the six exceptions, Louisiana and Texas prohibit export of all game but few birds, while Arkansas, Missouri, Montana and Wyoming either prohibit export of certain species or practically cut off export trade in game by means of ether restrictions. East of the Mis- <ssssippi similar laws are in force in nearly all of the states north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and also in West Virginia. The export of most fl not. all protected game taken with- in the state is prohibited in all these states except Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware. and in these five export oi certain kinds of game is illegal.
 Among game birds the general pro. h1bition is that against the export o4 ouail, which Is now in force in
