The supply of fish and oysters during
the past week was satisfactory up to

Of harmony in the committees deliber-
ations, the report says
Instead of being amended in COM
mittees as is usual so as to command
as a whole the Endorsement and sup
port Of majority of its members, the
bill was brought into the senate in a
form not entirely satisfactory to more
than two members. Party lines in the
committee were broken down and the
bill is in the senate by reason of the
union Of five members of the minority
party and three members of the major
ity party in congress. who concurred in
reporting 1t favoTably; and while these
eight senators are agreed as to the
general purpose and scope of the BILL
there are radical differences among them

Vested with the rights of eminent
domain to construct their lines and
granted liberal franchises and charters,
tn railroads designed to be public
carriers for the benefit Of the whole
people, in the last few years have be-
come rapidly transformed into the
veriest band Of robbers-highway
who do not thrust their pistols In the
faces of their victims and demand

tribute in freight rates which are as
high as the traffic will bear, deny ac-
cess to market, monopolize with brazen
effrontery one CT the prime necessa ries
of lfe-coal-and in every way show
their absolute contempt for the people
and the peoples rights"
Mr.. TiIlman concluded with a word
Of caution to the friends Of the pro-
posed legislation. He said:
's'The demand of the people for relief
from the expressions and wrongs they
now endure may be thwarted by the
great influence Of the railroad corpora
tiCns. This influence has hitherto been
paramount and its representatives in
the two houses may feel that It is safe
to refuse to redress the grievances and
to continue the policy OF noninterfer-
ence.
