RATE MAKING AGAIN
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
Look Into Matter.
SHOULD HAVE MORE POWER.
The Question Again Considered by
the Senate Committee, But in an
Informal Way, and no Definite
Measure Has Yet Been Decided

Washington, Nov. 25.-Railroad rate
making was again considered by the
senate committee on interstate COM
MERGE, but in an informal way, as no
measure has yet been presented to
the committee upon which it can base
its action. Views were expressed by
several members which indicated a
sharp division as far as the situation
has developed. There is the further
indication that majority of the COM
mittee is for measure giving the in
terstate commerce commission more
power, which means in some form
control of rates. 1t seems to be quite
well understood that three Republi-
cans and enough Democrats favor
such legislation to insure rate max
Ing bill being reported
Senator Newlands after the com
mittee adjourned said:
Il have no doubt that measure
for railroad regulation, providing fol-
the prompt determination of freight
rates where disputes arise between
shippers and communities on the one
hand and the carriers on the other,
will be passed the coming session.
But look for prolonged consideration
both in committee and the senate and
the public will probably grow impa-
tient over the delay
Individually, l believe in compre.
hensive action on the whole question
of transportation by means of a ma
tional incorporation act, covering the
incorporation of new companies, as
well as the conclusion of old, guard
ing strictly, against over capitaliza-
ton, preferences, rebates and dis
ordinations, and compelling an auto
matte but gradual reduction in rates
with the increase of the total business
of the country, by limitation of divi-
dends
Such legislation would put the rail-
roads out of politics, state and ma
tional, would protect the interests of
investor and shipper alike, and would
not interfere with the initiative and
enterprise which have given us the
best railroad system in the world.
1--WE should do away with the alb
surdity of permitting the states to
charter carriers for interstate COM
merce. Three-fourths of the trans
portation of the country is interstate
and as interstate commerce is clear
ly entrusted by our constitution to
the national government it is illogi-
cal that fOrty-fiVe lesser sovereign
ties should create the machines that
are to do the business of the greater
sovereignty"

"Life Was in Him."

Daniel O.Connell once unraveled a
queer plot in a will case. Witness af-
ter witness swore that they saw the
document duly executed. At last a
constantly reiterated expression
caught the lawyers attention - ''the
life was in him." over and over re-
peated.
by the virtue of your oath, was he
alive?" he asked one witness.
by the virtue of my oath, the life
was in him." he was answered.
Then O'Connell turned to the man
and very slowly and very solemnly
said:
Nov I call upon you, in the pres
ence of your Maker, who will some
day pass sentence upon you for this
evidence solemnly ask you-and
you answer at your peril-was not
there a live fly in the dead mans
mouth when his hand was placed upon
the will?"
Cornered, and pale with fear, the
witness confessed that this had actu.
ally happened.

CASTRO IS PAYING FRANCE.
Second InsfaIImeni Goes Through the
American Agents.

Caracas, Nov. 27.-In view of the
fact that no representative of the
French government called on the
Venezuelan government Nov. IA, for
the second installment of the Plum
ley arbitration award, that being the
date the money was due, the Vene-
zuelan government asked the Ameri-
can minister, Mr.. Russell, to receive
the installment and the money was
delivered to the American minister.
1t was announced from Paris, Nov.
16, that the foreign Office had been
advised that President Castro had
refused to pay the second installment
of the Plumley arbitration award.
The arbitration covered damages
sustained by French citizens in Vene-
zuela during previous periods prior
to 1908. The judgment was in favor
of France, which was awarded about
$650,000, and President Castro paid
the first installment three months
ago.

When a fellow is cornered 1t doesn't
necessarily indicate that he is square.
(From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 8,
1869

(From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 8,
1905)
When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked
permission to inspect their books, the
condition was made that no informa-
ton he might obtain therefrom would
be used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, it is
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de-
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results of
his study have been turned over to
the government department of justice
to be employed in legal prosecution Of
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. It is not his good faith,
but the governments, that Is in Ques-
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens
of Chicago. If it can be proved that
they are guilty Of engaging in con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt, if they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given a square deal.
Since the government has elevated
its vision to such height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
in New Jersey, almost within the
shadow Of the capitol dome, in order
to fasten itself a thousand miles away
upon Chicago, the government and
the President cannot be too careful
to avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offend
ers than offenders in the east.
Some Of the methods already en-
p1oyed in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into a
mans house and steals his private pa
pers, when it drags the wives of pack
ing-house employees into court and
puts them under heavy bonds, 1t Is
hardly dignif1ed, not to say honorable,
nor even respectable.

RaItour Cabinet Will Dissolve The
Parliament.
ALL MEMBERS PRESENT BUT ONE.
ut Has Been Officially Intimated That
no Statement Regarding the De-
eisIon Of the Cabinet Will be Is
sued by the Ministers.

London, Nov. PA recent cabinet
council, which. although not origin
ally summoned for that purpose, had
to decide the question of resignation
or temporary prolongation of the re-
tention of Office by the Balfour min
istry, was attended by all the mem
bers with the exception of the Mar
quis Of Salisbury, president of the
board of trade. 1t was regarded as
q foregone conclusion that the cab
met was going out and the only pub
lie interest was in the manner of its
going out; whether the premier and
colleagues would take precipitate ac-
tion or decide to remain in Office for
a little while longer to wind up the
business actually in hand. Mr.. Bal
four's hand, it is understood, was
somewhat forced by the resignation
OF the Marquis Of Londonderry, the
president of the council and president
of the board of education, which was
rendered few days ago. The ques-
ton Immediately arose whether the
collective resignation of the ministry
would not be preferable to its gener-
al disintegration.
1t is understood that the proposal
for the collective resignation of the
cabinet was rejected and that the
ministers arrived at the decision that
1t would be better to dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the electors.
Should this course be followed it
would be due largely to the well
grounded belief that the Liberals
would decline to form a cabinet be-
fore a general election places them
in possession of an adequate parlia-
mentary majority to carry out the
Liberal program.
1t is officially intimated that no
statement regarding the decision of
the cabinet will be issued by the min
listers, but the fact that Mr.. Balfour
will leave London Monday and the
additional fact that he is not going
to Sandringham to see the king is
taken as confirmation of the under
standing that the premier and his
colleagues have decided against a pre-
cipitate resignation.

FEW BRITISH WHALERS.
Only One Port in British Isles Owns
Its Whaleships


Dundee is the only port in the Brit
ish isles that owns whaleships. To-
ward the end of the century before
last nearly all the east coast ports
had whalers of their own. London
had thirty-four ships. The falling off
of the industry is due chiefly to the
scarcity of right" whales; but the
turning point of the decay was taken
when coal gas was discovered, and
there was fall in the importance of
oils as illuminants. But each season
Dundee sends her whaling fleet to the
Arctic. So few are right" whales
within the circle now that the Dundee
experts know them all, it is said.
Ways aver that the Dundee harpoon-
ers have names for each one of them.
