To Test Its Powers.

Several of the Virginia railroads have
combined to test the constitutionality
OF the Law under which the new State
corporation commission was created
The commission yesterday handed down
its first decision on the regulation OF de-
murrage and car service charges, and
now the railroads want TO know what
the courts think OF the powers OF the
commission. The attorneys for the rail-
roads do not believe the commission haz
the right under the constitution TO regu-
late the charges 1t has passed upon. The
matter came before the commission in
the case of the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk Railroad, which lowered
rates from the Eastern Shore TO Nor
folk 20 meet Baltimore competition The
commission was asked TO pass upon the
legality OF the action, and IL sustained
the railroad, Just why the other lines
should object no one seems 20 know,
as the rates are not in competition with
them The Chesapeake and Ohio. tbs
Atlantic Coast Line. the Norfolk AMI
Western, and the Southern, however,
through their attorneys. announced they
would contest the case. and they have
appealed from the decision OF the COM
mission 10 the supreme court There are
those who say the rates have nothing 20
do with the fight. They assert that the
railroads want no Interstate Commercs

Engineers 0verjoyed.

AS a result of the action of Commits
sioner Biddle yesterday granting the
long-delayed permit TO the engineers Of
the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and
/ Washington Railroads to construct the
tunnel under Capitol Hill. the gangs Of
men who have been doing the prelimi-
nary work are to be increased immedi-
ately and the heavier excavation Is to
be commenced not later than next week.
The cause of the delay was the dispute
between the railroads and the Commits
sioner as TO the motive power to be used
in the tunnel, the railroad men contend
ing for steam, because there would then
need to be no shifting OF engines, with
the attendant trouble in busy times.
The Commissioner. however, insisted on
the use of electricity, saying steam was
certain to be an annoyance to property
holders living within a mile of the
tunnel.
The railroads were in too big hurry
TO begin work TO hold out, and the Com
missioner had his way.
The Issuance of the permit Is also
going to have the effect of causing a
mushroom growth OF small villages OF
shacks and houses along the route OF
the tracks and the tunnel Within a
week IL IS expected no less than 500 men
are to be at work. and they must have
places to sleep. The permit gives the
conn., anies the right to erect as many of
these places as 1t needs. One of the
engineers, in discussing the permit last
night. said:
The last obstacle TO beginning the
work on the tunnel has been removed.
and we are TO tackle the job at once.
There must be excavated many hun
dreds Of thousands of cubic yards OF
earth. and We would not be surprised il
there should be much more rock to go
through than is now expected. The tun-
mel is TO be 5000 feet long. and is to cost
about 100000. We expect to have trains |
running through it In less than two |
years"

healing effect, and at the same time

Alexandrians a similar letter sent from,
Barcelona several years ago to the late
Charles Neale, of this city. II repre-
sented that a great fortune awaited his
family in Spain, and asked that a sum
of money be sent to enable the claim to
be prosecuted. Several letters on the
subject passed, but Mr.. NeaIe's Spanish
informant. having received no money.
ceased to correspond.
