POWER OF CONGRESS TO
 FIX RAILROAD RATES
oPINIoNoFATToRNEY GENERAL
 MOODY.
A Governmental Power to Fix me Max
 imum Future Charges of Carriers by Railroad, is Vested in the Legislatures of the States With Regard to Trans portation Exclusively within States, and Vested in Congress in Regard to
All Other transportation.

Washington, May 5.-Attorney Gen.
 eral Moody to-day sent his opinion to
 the senate interstate commerce com
 mittee on certain questions of law, and
 also the question of governmental pow:
 CT to regulate the operations of rail
 roads, especially in the respect of fix
 ing rates for transportation. by whom that power, so far as it exists in the national government, may be exercised constitutionally, and what limits to that
 power, if any, are prescribed by the Constitution. The committee requested the opinion. The attorney general exhaustively dis cussed the questions and in conclusion briefly summarized his views as follows: 1. There is governmental power to
 fix the maximum future charges of car riers by railroad, vested in the legis- latures of the states with regard to transportation exclusively within the states, and vested in congress with re- gard to all other transportation.
 2. Although legislative power, proper | ly speaking, cannot be delegated, the
 lawmaking body having enacted into law the standard of charges which shall control, may intrust to an ad-
 ministrative body not exercising in the true sense judicial power the duty to
 fix rates in conformity with that standard. .f
 3. The rate making power is not a judicial function and cannot be confer- red constitutionally upon the courts
 of the United States, either by the or iginal or appellate Jurisdiction.
 4. The courts, however, have the pow CT to investigate any rate or rates fixed by legislative authority, and determine whether they are such as would be con
 fiscatory of the property of the carrier, and if they are judicially found to be confiseatory in their effect, to restrain their enforcement.
 5. Any regulation of land transporta- tion, however exercised, would seem to be so indirect in its effect upon the
 ports that it could not constitute a
 preference between the ports of diff ferent states within the meaning of ar ticle 1, section g, paragraph 6 of the l Constitution. ,s4 z. Reasonable, just, and impartial
 rates determined by legislative author fity are not within the prohibition of article 1, section 9, paragraph of the Constitution, even though they result in
 a varying charge per ton per mile to
 and from the ports of the different states.

PREMIER TO FIGHT DUEL.
Austrian Statesman InsuIted by Mem-
 Der of Opposition.

o~A OA OpBosAtAon-
 Budapest, Hungary. May 5.-A duel between Premier Tisza and member of the opposition, Herr Pozsgay, will be the outcome of a stormy debate in the lower house of the Hungarian diet to- day.
 Premier Tisza had bitterly assailed
 the demand of the opposition in the ad- dress to the throne, and especially that section demanding customs boundaries
 against Austria. He pointed out that Hungary, as an independent state, would only be able to conclude treaties under the most unfayorable conditions, while it was of the utmost importance
 that Austrian markets should be open to Hungarian agricultural products. The premier was interrupted by Herr Pozsgay, a member of the opposition, who said it was beyond patience that fallen premier should speak with such insolence.'' An uproar ensued and the sitting was suspended. Afterwards Count Tisza sent his seconds to Herr Pozsgay.

 Tokio, May 5.-Four Russian torpedo boat destroyers were sighted west of Hokkaido yesterday (Friday).
 Hokkaido is the northernmost of the Japanese islands, being just south of sakhalin. The torpedo boat destroyers are evidently from vladivostok.
 Saigon, Cochin China, May 5.-The Russian division near Hon-Kohe bay. a short distance north of Kamranl bay. was preparing on May 2 to leave it's moorings the following day. Admiral Rojestyensky had previously informed the French authorities of it's proposed departure.
 St. Petersburg, May 5-Admiral Ro- jestvensky. according to a high naval authority, has sailed south to meet the division of the Russian second Pacific squadron commanded by Admiral Ne- bogatoff. The admiralty has infornla- tion that a PaDanese division of fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers was sent south for the purpose, if pos- sible, of crippling or destroying Ne- bogatoff's s ships before they could ef- feet a junction with those of Rojest- vensky, and there is reason to believe that the Japanese took up a position in the Straits of Sunda, through which Nebogatoff originally intended to make the passage into the North sea. There is also reason to believe that Nebogatoff first approached the Straits of Sunda, but finding them too well guarded, put about and headed north for the Straits of Malacca, his division. lacking tho protection of fast cruisers and beiae at a great disadvantage in meeting tor-. pedo boat attacks.
 The admiralty expresses much grati- fication at the fact that Admiral Ne bogatoff has successfully reached the China Sea- but appreciates that tie tkfNs,tSAoil VI HIS, AlN1otOll particularly vulnerable to swift ad-s Sversary. especially as the crews of his ships have not had the training in manoeuvring or the target practice which Admiral Rojestvensky $ crews had while off the Island of Madagascar,E and the anxiety here will only be com pletely relieved when it is known that a junction has been effected.
 The Russian arnored cruiser Gromo- boi, it is announced, has left vladivos- tok.
 The Russ to-day announces that Cap- tain Clado, who was Admiral Rojest- vensky's chief tactician until the North Sea incident and who recently was ap- pointed to special service in connection with vessels navigating rivers in the theater of war, has been made staff captain.
