NIPPED A REVOLUTION.
Minister Barrett Tells How He Did 1t
in Panama.

washington, April 19.-Diplomatic cor
respondence made public at the state De
partment today contains a dispatch from
Minister Barrett at Panama giving an &C
count of the assistance rendered by MN
in averting trouble there at the time OF
the attempted revolution led by General
Huertas last November.
After it had been arranged that General
F4uertas should resign and the Panama
army disband a hitch occurred. About 90
soldiers marched unarmed to the govern
ment house, followed by a great crowd
and informed the president of the repub-
lie that they would not accept the govern
ment's terms of being paid off in two pay
ments, but demanded the whole pay at
that time. Minister Barrett, who was
present at the time, advised the president
to be absolutely firm, but the soldiers per
sisted and muttered threats against the
president. The minister informing the
state department of the incident, said:
when this word came up from the
street I saw there must be no further &c
lay in bringing matters to an end ana tax
ing General Guardia, the minister OF Tor
eign affairs and war, 1 went down stairs
and out upon the sidewalk in front OF the
soldiers, who were there assembled. IN
brief words I told General Guardla TO say
to them that the United States with It's
forces stood back of the government in
this crisis and that they must accept the
terms of the government or accept the
conSeQ uences. They were warned thaL
if thew did not accept these terms and en-
gagged in any acts of insurrectiOn, riot or
mutiny they would be dealt with in a
most summary way and that if necessary
the naval forces in the bay and the ma
rineS at AncOn and Empire would pc USED
to maintain order, with the seyerest pun
ishment for those who were responsible
for disorder. This warning had the de-
declared that they would accept the terms
of the government.

Victor Morawetz OfSanta Fe APP
pears Before Senate Committee.
Gives His Reasons Why Congress
Should Not Make Rates.
MOODY'S OPINION SOON
Holds That Congress Has Rate
Making Power.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railway Circles.
MOODY'S OPINION SOON

Washington, April 19-Victor Mora
wetz, of New York, opened the hearing
before the senate committee on inter
state commerce Tuesday. He is chair
man of the executive committee and
general counsel of the Atchison, TOpe-
ka & Santa Fe railway. There were
three evils complained of, he said, upon
which the demand was made for legis-
lation to fix rates, first, that railroad
rates were excessive; second, that there
were Determinations against shippers;
third, that there were Determinations
against localities. He insisted that rail-
road rates were not excessive. Under
the common law the carriers were pro
hibited from making unreasonable rates
and also We're prohibited from making
unjust determinations Congress had
no constitutional right to fix rate
which would not give the shippers rea-
sonable return, or would be confscatOry
of the property of the railroad.
Taking up the Esch-TOWnsend bill
Mr.. Morarwetz said that the language
relating to the fixing of rates by the
commission and for review such rates
by court was subject to questionable
construction and indefinite as to the
meaning and Should be carefully consid-
cred.
If congress- he said, could prescribe
general rules for the regulation of in
to a committee to determine prima
facie what rates are unreasOnably high
subject to review by a court. In his
opinion congress could not delegate
power on the commission to fix arbi-
trary rates without presenting regula-
lions and rules governing its acts.
Congress could not confer judicial
powers upon the interstate commerce
commission. Congress could not i'm
pose on courts legislative functions. Re
plying to questions, Mr.. Morawetz said
that congress could not authorize courts
to fix rates. It could confer upon the
courts the power to determine if a
rate was excessively high or if a rate
was conhsca torily low. He said that
the court in determining whether a rate
was too high could be required to fix a
maximum rate that could have been
lawfully appointed but could not fix the
rate in the future but in reply to a
question by Deliver he said congress
could pronounce that the rate which
the court found was reasonable for the
traffic should go into effect. Congress
could fix what should be maximum
and minimum rates and possibly could
delegate this power to a commission.
The grant of discretionary power to fix
rates and adjust the relative rates of
different localities would vest the COM
mission with aUtOcratic power and
