Conclusions Of Railway Congress

Washington, May I5.-The conclu-
sions adopted by the international rail
way congress, which closed its seventh
session here Saturday, were officially
announced Sunday. The most inter-
esting OF the conclusions related to
railway rates on which, after pro-
longed discussion in which every couil-
try in which railways are operated was
represented. the congress unanimously
expressed its conclusions as follows:
Tariffs should be based on COM
rnercial principles, taking into account
the special conditions which bear upon
the compercial value Of the services
rendered With the reservation that
rates shall be charged without arbi-
Etrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions, the maxi
ing Of rates should as far as possible
have all the elasticity necessary to per-
init the development of the traffic and
ito produce the greatest results to the
public, and TO the railroads them
selves. II Ri
Regarding methods of treating rail-
way sleepers chemically, or otherwise,
~ protect them against deterioration
and destruction BY wear and by, the
elements, and in that way lessen pres
ent demand upon the country's forest
supply. It was determined that some
method Of preserving sleepers was de-
sirable and it was urged that careful
records Of experiments should Be kept

|it is accordingly not only the interest
but the duty Of the governments to as

not to adhere to old types, and old
methods of construction, operation and
regulation, but to introduce every fa-
cility possible, adaptable to local needs
and available resources. 1t is also
desirable that state, government and
local authorities should accord to light
railways, either under the form OF sub
sides, relation of requirements, or
other methods Of assistance, the sup
port which they need SO that all parts
of the country may be adequately sery-
ed, II
The congress expresses the wish
that the present tendency of legisla-

Itions for lines with small traffic, and
light trains, may become more general
land that the efforts of the manage
ments to equip their light traffic lines
with a more economical organization,
which promise to give remarkable re-
suits, be continued.

THE CANAL comMIssION.

The first annual report of the Isthnian Canal
Commission, the accompanying letter of the Sec
retary of War and the message of the PRESIDENT
concerning ii are all about what wen lnIormeo
men expected them to be, ana are, we may adu'
what the country will generally regard WIN
satisfaction Ii has been known, somewhat
vaguely, that actual work Is proceeding on the
isthmus. The special articles upon uae supJeet
which The Tribune has been printing nave re-
vealed more clearly than before the extent ana
value of that work. There is no occasion TO
criticisa the Canal Commission for lack of
promptness or of energy. 1t has acted, too. In
the main with discretion, and the account OF its
stewardship thus far is worthy of approval
The letter OF the Secretary of War largely con-
firms the report of the commission, WIN the
ample authority of the personal knowledge
which its writer acquired during his recent visit
TO the isthmus.
If it be asked why, then. there should be
demand for reorganization of the commission,
such as that suggested by the president In his
message the answer is to be found in the re-
port itself and in the Secretary's letter. In the
preliminary stage of the work the present sys-
tenn has worked well, though not always per-
fectly: but the work is now coming to another
and different stage, i'll which another and differ
ent system of direction is desirable. The JudS-
ment OF the President and Secretary, that the
present system, or the present provision or law,
is inelastic and clumsy, may seem harsh, but it
is just The great work in hand cannot be
adapted TO Il hard and fast system; the system
must be adapted TO the work. We must have
that system which observation and experience
indicate to be the best for the attainment of the
end in view. Moreover, since the President is
held by law and win be held by the nation, re-
sponsible for the work. he should have the au-
thority to exercise his own discretion to larger
extent In the organization of the force which
is to be responsible 10 him, and to which he is
necessarily to delegate his authority In matters
Of detail.
There IS, Of course, as we have hitherto In
sisted no thought OF reflection upon the present
commission. 1t has done its work, upon the
whole In q satisfactory manner; but it has done
its work. The new work which is now at hand.
and which will be in hand for ten years and
more TO come, needs a differently constituted
commission for its performance. This is evil
dent to those who have most carefully studied
the situation upon the spot and at first hand.
1t can be no more evident to any one than to
the present commissioners. The more faithfully
they have done their work, the more clearly
they will perceive this, and the more ready they
will be to acquiesce in the Presidents recon-
mendations.
