NEW YORK, Dec. Sat the meeting of

of Elder One. were dismissed. The board
issued the following statement:
"The evidence of Thomas Z. Stewart and
Samuel Maugher. self-confessed perpetra-
tors of the most obnoxious frauds against
w. A. Simms and w. II. Simms is not
sufficiently corroborated and the cases
against w. A. and W.. II. Simms are dis
missed without prejudice. The secretary
is ordered to further investigate the adj
missions made by the witnesses and bring
them before the board, when corroborating
evidence can be secured. The temporary
reinstatement of the horse Elder One, by
the Columbus judges, is made permanent"
The application of G.. d.. Rinker, of In

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Appropriation to Defrny Expenses Of
the Strike Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The House to-
day passed the bill to appropriate $4,000
TO defray the expenses of the anthracite
coal strike commission and then adjourned
until Friday, when the London dock charge
bill will be considered. There were two
hours OF discussion on the commission bill,
during which the Presidents course in
creating the commission was highly COM
mended, except by Mr.. Burton. a Missouri
Democrat, who commended that the commits
Eicn was created without authority Of law
or Constitution. There was some criticism
OF the feature of the bill allowing double
salaries 20 members of the commission now
IN government employ, and also because
the bill left the amount of the compensa-
tlOn OF the members TO the President. But
all amendments were voted down. The bill
was passed without division.
James a Hemenway. Of Indiana, led the
discussion on the Republican side In de-
Tense of the President and in favor OF the
bill In reply to Mr.. Benton. who held that
the commission was appointed without au-
thority, Mr.. Hemenway warmly defended
the course of the President. He declared
that the "'cobwebs ought to be brushed
aside from this controversy" He pointed
out that the greatest strike In the history
or the country existed. People were in
distress. the miners over the country were
contributing q fund to carry on the strike,
the coal supply was exhausted and the
great industries OF the country were about
to be closed. Mitchell and his men were
standing for one proposition and the Oper-
ators for Another. Something had to be
done" asserted Mr.. Hcmenway. 1.-THE
democratic party always talks and the
Republican party acts The Republican
President undertook To settle this strike.
True, he had no authority at law, but pub
he had a right to act and nc did act. The
result was q settlement of the strike. Men

A Short Route for Shipments to the
Far East.
Modern Mexico.

Modern Mexico.
The completion OF the extensive port
works at COatzacoalcos, on the gulf, and
Salina Cruz, on the Pacific side. connected
by a well-equipped railroad across the
narrow isthmus of Tehuantepec, promises
to provide a short route for shipments TO
Pacific coast ports and the far East that
will be an important factor long before
the question of an isthmus canal is settled.
The cooperation of the Mexican govern
ment in the building of this transconti-
mental line is a satisfactory guarantee
that the extensive undertaking Will be
carried to a successful end. The location
of a connection between the great oceans
Is a question that does not AFFECT TO any
great degree shipping between North At
lantic and Southern Pacific ports, but
when the saving in time between Atlantic
and gulf points and Central and North
Asia are considered the advantages of the
northern route are striking.
From Panama to Salina Cruz the dis
lance is 1903 miles, which is a clear saving
for freight to northern ports shipped via
Tehuantepec. The saving will be made
upon all to Central American
ports, varying In Importance from 45i miles
to Junta Arenas, Costa Rica, TO 1.02 miles
to San Jose de Guatemala. From Salina
Cruz to San Francisco the distance is only
2,17O miles, and shipments TO the Orient will
save over 1000 miles by the use of the
Mexican rail transfer to the Pacific in pref
erence to going through a Panama canal.
1t Is a fact not generally known that from
New Orleans to San Francisco by the
Mexican isthmus Ii Is 100 miles shorter than
by the line of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way. With such shipping facilities as II
is intended to establish the Mexican short
cut ACROSS the backbone of the continent
will doubtless divert much commerce from
all rail lines. 1t will from the start furnish
an attractive route for the growing ex-
port cotton trade of the Southern American
States to the Orient. and ii Will at nee
become a powerful factor in the develop
ment OF Mexico's rich west coast

therefore. that the Augustana Swedish Luz

TO GET RIVER POWER.
Assured Expenditure of 100000 900
Upon S~usquehanna Plants.
PHILADELPHIA Press.

Philadelphia Press.
An expenditure of from SIC, 100000 to $12,-
O0O,O 300 upon the water power plants on the
SusQuehanna river and transmission sys-
TENS to Baltimore and Philadelphia seems
now TO be assured.
During the past fortnight the Continent
tai Trust Company, of Baltimore, which Is
financing the enterprise, has exercised its
option upon the United Railways and Elec-
trio Company, of that city. Along with IT
goes the lease for the power necessary to
generate all the electricity used in lighting
the city and operating the railway cars.
The plans for constructing the great
power plant on the river have been COM
pleted. The canals and dams will be built
near the border line between Maryland and
Pennsylvania. There will be three separate
plants, each having a capacity of $1,000
horsepower. One of these, and the first
to be built, will go to Baltimore. The Sec
Ond will go 70 Philadelphia. The third will
be divided between Philadelphia and VIII
mington.
The cost of this will be at the rate of
SIS a horsepower a year. When fully de-
a gross revenue og $4,000. 1t is probable
that two companies will be formed to oper-
ate the power system. One company will
ting the power to the various cities. The
other company will have control OF It's dis
tribution.

dent of the SusQuehanna Power Company.
1t is believed in some financial quarters
that the Philadelphia Electric Company,
which controls the greater part of the
lighting business in this city, and the
Rapid Transit Company, which operates
AS miles Of trolley lines. will ultimately
become interested in this scheme for get
ting power from the river. The Rapid
Transi Company is one of the two or three
largest consumers of electric power in
America. Hence the development OF the
subway and elevated systems here makes
the question of power one of vital impor-
lance to the Rapid Transit Company.

RESTS With CONGRESS
POSTMASTER GENERAL CANNOT DE-
FINE CLASSES OF All NATTER.
Two Decisions Against the Postoffce
Department and One In Its Favor
-Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Practically the
whole policy of the Postofice Department
in its recent classification reforms is in
volved in three decisions rendered to-day
by the District Court of Appeals. In two
of the cases the decisions are against the
Postoffice Department and in the other the
government is sustained. All three cases
will be appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court, pending whose final action
the classification reform policy under which
many publications nave been excluded from
the second-class privileges probably will re-
main In suspension.
The two cases decided adversely to the
government are those of the National Rail-
way Publication Company, and the Rail-
way List Company. The department Is up
held in the case of the Chicago Business
College. The lower court Is sustained IN
each of the three. cases. The courts de-
holds that the Congress has not committed
to the postmaster general or any one else
the determination of what should be car
class matter, that power being reserved
exclusively to Congress-. which makes the
classification. The court says that it may
be the classification is not as definite as
Ii might be and that the privilege is gross
ly abused, but Congress itself, the court
says, made the classification and it is not
competent for the postmaster general to
add anything to the statute or to take any,
thing from it. A number of similar cases
are pending in the lower court, and prob
ably now Will be pressed In view of the de-
cision I'm the railway publication case.
In the Chicago Business College case the
court holds that the publication involved Is
an advertising medium for the business of
its publishers. setting forth the advantages
OF certain methods of instruction. 1t Is
held that this college Is not an institution
of learning," such as Congress contem-
plated admitting to the second-class rate.
