bill. said:
The most important measure icforc
the f'ifty-cishth Congress was the ono
giving to the existing. or a reorganizrl

power to regulate RAILROAD freight

men who are in control Of the great
transportation lincs-ald there is
some difference OF opinion among them
the conviction is almost universal
that Legislation on this subject is ur-
gently necessary in order TO protect

against unfair determinations between
localities ard Individuals

Should Congress fail to meet tho
just and reasonable expectations in re.

COST OF LIGHTING.
Interesting Figures Given. to New York 4. Commission. .

New York, April 7.-Interesting fig- ures giving the actual cost of produc- ing Illuminating gas and electric light ing current were brought. out to-day during the examination of officers of gas and electric companies by the com mittee of the legislature, which is in vestigating lighting conditions in this city. It was testified by President George W. Doane, of the New Amster- dam company, that his concern pro- duced gas at an actual cost of 325 cents per thousand cubic feet, selling one half of the plants production to the Consolidated company at 32.S8 cents and distributing the rest to consumers at $1 per thousand. According to vice President John W. ,Lieb, jr., of the Edi- son company, the average cost of illum- mating current.sof the past five years was 450 cents per kilowatt hour, the net return from consumers being 9,017 cents, the net profit for last year being S2,29S, ,S3S. A surplus of more than $6,- 0O0,O00 and a fund of more than $40O0,- 000 set aside for depreciation, had, Mr. Lieb said. been put into the plant.

PLAIN TALK BY DELCASSE
POLICY OF FRANCE IN MOROCCO
 OUTLINED.
French Foreign Minister Makes State ment Before Chamber of Deputies No Cause for Resentment nt Any ouarter--France Wronging No One and Contemplating No Wrong.

Paris, April 7.-Foreign Minister Del casse, answering questions in the Chamber of Deputies to-day relative to the status of Morocco, said the policy which the national interests of France required her to pursue had long been fully known. When that policy was consecrated by certain international agreements, public opinion here and abroad approved of the accords as fur ther guarantees of bringing order and security to Morocco, while at the same time favoring the interests of the en- tire world and giving no cause for re- sentiment from any quarter Continu- ing, the foreign minister said:
 Tn dealing with Morocco France in- voked her lengthy frontier along Mo rocco, and also sacrifices and damages resulting from the incessant troubles Ill the region of Morocco, together with the avowed weakness of the Moroccan government, and it's appeal to our con- suls for support. We seek to make the Moroccan authorities understand the practical advantages of having the nominal, precarious authority of the Sultan fortified and extended so that the condition of the population may be ameliorated by security and respect given to their customs and beliefs. We put this before them mildly as friends, patiently also as becomes neighbors not having need of a precipitate solution, and we will continue our task with the tranquility of people who are Wronging no one and contemplate nothing wrong to the interests of any one. Having re peatedly. taken this view, I feel no em- barrassment in repeating what may dissipate all misunderstanding, if de- spite former declarations any such mis- understanding still exists"
 M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, con- graduated M. Delcasse on his state ment, and said he hoped that the re- cent misunderstanding would be sneed- lily dissipated. .x <
 Buyot de VilIeneuve (Nationalist Re. publiean) created excitement by de- claring that it was essential to remove g misunderstanding which could mean peace or war.

.AWARDED THE CONTRACT.
Police Commissioners Authorize New
 station to Cost s8,4ss.

A special joint meeting of the police commissioners and the board of finance was held in the city hall last evening, for the purpose of arranging for the new DixWell avenue police station house. The finance board decided that the city could not afford this year to permit the building If the addition which s.to be used as a lookup, so it was decided to wait until the appropri- ations for next year are made.
 The original appropriation for the new building was $S,0O0,. with $2,OO0 ad- ditional for a site. As the house is to be built on city property the a2,000 was not needed for the site. The lowest bidder, MT. Fogarty, wants $9,4S3 for the building which is to be erected, therefore the finance board allowed the police commissioners an additional s1,- GOO from the site fund and also trans ferred $4S3 from pay roll account to new building. These two sums togeth- CT with the original $s,O00 makes the necessary s9.4ss. The contract was then awarded by the police con1mis sioners to MT. Fogarty and work will be commenced Immediately.

ANOTHER CHICAGO STRIKE.
Union Teamsters Again Resorted To
 for Victory. Z,

Chicago, April TIC Chicago is again in the throes of a contest between capital and labor unions. As on former occa- sions the unions have resorted to the use of the union teamsters to bring them victory in the struggle, which to- night threatens to spread to many branches of the teaming industries of the city.
 The present struggle had it's begin- ming in strike several months ago Of a few hundred garment workers em- p1oyed by Montgomery, Ward & Co. The closed shop is the issue, and in order to bring the firm to the terms of the union, a strike of the 200 drivers and teamsters employed by the concern was called to-day
 As has usually been the case in the past when the teamsters are called on to assist in sympathetic strike, the downtown streets of Chicago to-day were the scenes of disorder which fol- lowed fast on each other, when an att tempt was made to deliver goods with non-union drivers. Many teamsters. garnet workers and their friends filled the streets and many clashes with the police occurred. In several instances it was necessity for the police to place number of the belligerents un- der arrest before the blockades could be liftetd.
