THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Its Recent Action in the Reduction o
Glass Freight Rates Considered,


The Railroad Commission Of tn
State, in it's action on the 10Th ult
reducing class freight rates on mer
chandise not included in the con
modify tariffs, was not unanimous.
The dissenting opinion WAS renderec
by Judge Reagan, chairman of thu
Commission, in which he expresses
the opinion that the reduction is il
advised and a reversal of the policy
of the Commission from its organi-
cation to the present. His opinion
as given out by himselfis embraced
under six heads as follows:
/. Because | think the reduc-
tions for distances of twenty-five
miles aud less make the rates uni
reasonably low.
2. Because [ think the rates fof
distances between twenty-five ana
fifty miles are much too
3. Because the increase Of the
distance ut which the maximum
rates are reached from 1856 miles t.
245 miles, makes an Unnecessary
reduction i'll the rates; and is d
reversal of tho policy and action Of
this Commission from the time OF
its organization to the presenE, OF
~, nrrn,,,yi ar nnr ,utas a Pa, fNra
competition between dealers and
manufacturers in this State and
those Of other statee. And because
this extension of the maximum
distance will have the effect of con-
centrating the jobbing and whole
sale business of the State iii few
of the larger cities of the State, and
in drawing these branches of bust
ness away from the secondary and
minor cities and towns of the State.
and thus tend to promote monopoly
and TO limit necessary competition.
A. fear the adoption OF this
classification and scale of rates may
operate uutavorably on the con-
struction of new railroads in the
State, now progressing so satistactor-
lily, and may delay the improve
ment of the roadbeds and the in
crease Of their rolling stock, now
much needed.
5. While | am as anxious as
others TO protect the people against
UNNECESSARY burdens, ] do not forget
that the material prosperity and,
welfare Of our people greatly depend
On t4,v iuciiiises Of etsNs ,,pt ,alloylI
| furnished them By the railroadA,
and that in all the past it has been
the policy ofthe State to encourage
their construction and proper equip.
ment. | think this policy was wise
in the past, and out to be adhered
to in the future.
6. am less inclined to make
any large reduction Of the rates on
general merchandise, because of
my belief that some reduction
should be made in the rates on
cotton, on which a higher rate IL
made now than on general merch-
andise, and [ fear this reduction of
the merchandise rates may make it
impractible to reduce the rates on
cotton. ]. H. REAGAN.

Is t1e story That Robson Wants
the Milwaukee Park.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 18-TfSt the Ma
tional league is contemplating the inva-
sion of Milwaukee in the event thG@
Pittsburg and New York are included in
the American league became apparent
when information from Kansas City in
dicated that John T. Brush, of Cincin-
natl, was endeaVoring to secure the lease
of Milwaukee park, now held by Presi-
dent Whitfield, of the Western league.
From an authoritative source the in
formation was elected that it was for
the Robisons, of ST. Louis, that Brush
was conducting the negotiations for the
Milwaukee baseball k vu4...~
occupied by the American league team,
and the belief is we'll grounded that the
Robisons will transfer their National
league team to Milwaukee.
In baseball circles it is asserted that
the Pittsburg club will find a place in
the American league circuit by buying
the Cleveland franchise, and the New
Yirk club will absorb the Baltimore ag-
gregation, including Mugs" McGraw,
who will be the manager of the New
Yorks. Negotiations to accomplish this
end have been in progress for some time
between President Johnson, of the Amer
lean league, Freedman, of the New York
club, and Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburgs,
and when the National league men OPP
posed to the election of A. G. SpaIding
as president discovered this plot they
were thrown into a panic
Frank DeHaas Robson, of st. Louis
appreciates that with his team denuded
of its stars by the Killileas and Jimmy
McAleer he has only slender chance to
compete successfully against the strong
American league club which has invaded
his territory. Robson has a fairly good
team, but on paper it is weak in COM
-parison with McAIeer's outfit, and he be-
lieves he would be more successful in the
town deserted by the American league
than in the Missouri metropolis. Conse-
quently he IS laying his plans to secure
plant in Milwaukee in the event of
warfare in the National league and COM
pete for patronage with the American as
ISOLATION club in tEe Cream City
1t is a certainty that the Western league
shot it's bolt when it failed to secure a
foothold in Milwaukee after securing q
lease of Tie American league grounds in
that city, and that it has given up all
hope of securing a foothold there is a
foregone conclusion. Now, President
Whitfield has a lease Of the grounds in
Milwaukee, for which he paid 81 600. and
he is only too willing to dispose of his

WON'T AMALCAMATE
JOHNSON AND SPALDING HAVE
CONFERENCE THAT SETTLES
A FEW POINTS
MUST BE TWO MAJOR LEAGUES
Keen Rivalry Demanded by the PeO-
pie Who Pay Their Money to
Witness Good BaII-RuIes
Must BE Uniform.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-Ban B. Johnson
and A. G. Spalding today held a confer
ence at which the baseball situation was
discussed at considerable length Mr..
Johnson ard Mr.. Spalding agreed that it
was 1nadvisable to consider an amalga-
nation of the two leagues on any sort
Of basis.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the American
league circuit was made up for the ensu-
ing year, and that there would be no
change in it in any way. Mr.. Spalding
was equally emphatic il announcing that
the present four loyal clubs of the Ma
tional leaguc-Pittsburg, Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Brooklyn-would go through
the season intact, and would play out
four-club schedule if necessary. He ex-
pressed the opinion that there would be
the usual number of eight clubs, but not
more than eight nor less than four.
Rival Major Leagues Demanded.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Spalding are a
unit in the opinion that two major league
clubs, representing the larger cities, are
necessity in order to satisfy the public
and both believe that rivalries between
these local clubs of the two leagues will
better satisfy the baseball patrons in
cities where two clubs may be located.
While both Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Spald-
ing are strongly of the opinion that 1t is
advisable to formulate some kind If a
IA0oly bCCWSSu the Two leagues Inat VIII
bring about harmony in the baseball stu
alton, yet considering the present mixed
up condition of National league affairs.
1t is believed to be inopportune to take
up this question now
Uniform Playing Rules Needed,
Among other results of the conferences
today was the suggestion that the re-
spectlve playing rules committee of The
National, American and National Assoc
citation of Professional Baseball leagues.
have joint conference and formulate a
uniform code of playing rules for the
coming year. For the purpose of carrv
ing this into effect, Messrs. Johnson end
Spalding sent a joint letter to Mr. IT
Powers, president of the National Assoc
citation of Professional Baseball leagues
suggesting a conference for the purnose
of formulating uniform code Of PLAYING
rules, to meet Monday, Feb. 10 1902 AT
Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr.. Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg. and Mr.
Hart also conferred more with Mr. Spald-
ing this afternoon. Mr.. Dreyfuss nm
| nounced to Mr.. Spalding that he thor
oughly approved of the course he had
taken to date in conducting this baseball
controversy and expressed the utmost
confidence in the ultimate satisfactory
outcome of the present league entangle-
ment.
Mr.. Spalding left tonight for New Mex
| leo and Southern California, to be gone
for short time. During his absence he
will keep in close touch with the basebaIT
| situation.

pRAcTICING POINTS GAME.
Some CreditabIe scores Made by St

Practice in going through the points has

points out of possible seventy-two, has
made the highest scores. In a dozen or
more trials made by him, 40 has been his
highest mark. He has made 49, A. As, 43
and Al, and in no trial dld he come
under 40. The ice was sticky through
out the week, and this accounts for his
not getting past the so notch
Lem Defiel has also shown considerable
proficiency in the points game, and one
afternoon he rolled up points on wick
and curl in, the most difficult shot In
the points game.

has displayed anything like last season. :
