ChieaEo-The supreme Court Of the
United States ID TO be asked to pass
upon tho question whether q railroad
company can issue transportation In
exchange for advertising In newspa'
pera. A test case Is TO be made In iii,
nois. Of rather an opportunity be given
TO tho Interstate Commerce Commits,
sion TO have tho courts pass upon their
ruling that nothing but money can be
lawfully received or accepted in pay
ment for transportation.
Shortly after the new rate Law went
into eject tho question came before
the commission. and that body decided
that only money could be. accepted.
Tho Justice OF this ruling was not seen
BY the legal department OF tho Monon
railroad. and George Fitzpatrick. the
general counsel. and Z. c. Field. the
general collector. wrote to tho Inter.
state Commerce Commission and
gave their construction Of tho law.
backed BY decisions OF tho courts.
They said they had carefully eoaxid.

Of the rule. and under their construc.
ton Of tho Law had entered Into con.

tho publication Of time cards. etc. and
for the payment OF such services In
transportation at the rate nxcd by the
Aonon's duly pubiiahed tarifY. which In
every instance was tho exact cquiSu.

that payment for transportation shall
be In money. and Il must therefore fol-

DEFENDS RAILWAYS.
James }. Hill Of the Great Northern
Before the Commission.

inneapolis.-Jamcs J. Hill, prcsi
dent Of the Great Northern railway
took tho stand Wednesday when the
Interstate Commerce Commission be
snn It's inquiry into the relations be
tween the railroads and the grain com
panies In the Northwest.
Mr.. Hill proved to be willing wilt
ness. His answers to all questions
were given without hesitation and In
detail. He told OF the tremendous
grain trafic on his road. eQualling each
year twice as much as the grain
hauled into Chicago In a year by NIL
roads running into that city. He said
that the Great Northern In 1879 hauled
2,S70.000 bushels, while In 1896 this
had Increased to probably 115.000. 900
bushels. In view OF the fact that the
bulk OF the Great Northern's business
comes from the farmer, he said It has
always been Its policy to aid the
farmer whenever possible.
"Is It the policy Of your road. Mr..
Hill, to delay freight for any rcason?''
was one Of the opening questions.
mo, It certainly is not" was the re.
ply.
Mr.. Hill thought the present legal
method Of handling grain is wrong, but
the farmer is too much the victim Of
the Spectator. He said every receiv.
ing elevator should devote itself to sim.
ply that business: that the operating
In grain should be another separate
business; and that the business Of the
grain mixer should be another separate
business. .-
DO you think the farmer is getting
what he should for his crop?" %.
81 don't think he is getting what
he should for some classes Of grain.
For instance, farmers are now raising
lot Of durum wheat. There is good
deal Of risk in what the foreign demand
will be, and market at home for only
limited amount"
Mr.. Hill said that elevators are
continually treating the farmers un.
fairly.
1--WE have to watch the elevators all
the time," he said. This work is
done by the traffic department, but as
matter Of fact the department Is
pretty powerless."

washington.-It In said here that
tho United States Is In Cuba to stay
for some years 10 come. and. perhaps.
for all time. How long tho soldiers
stay. and how long the AFFAIRS OF tho
Cuban government are administered
by Americans. depends wholly on the
Cubans. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon arc
declared to have come away from Ha.

people OF the island. In their presen,

incapable Of governing themselves.
Before leaving Havana. Mr.. Taft told
tho Cuban political leaders that our
troops would not be Withdrawn. and
We would not leave tho island to itself
again until confidence had been re-
stored and the affairs Of government
put on stable. sound and permanent
basis.
Since II has been determined to re-
tain control Of tho island. every con
sideration demands that tho work OF

who has recently visited tho Island re.

would follow. Tho feeling between tho
defeated Modcratcs and tho Liberals is
bitter to n degree. Recent cable dis.
patches report harsh disscnsions In tho
Liberal party. The Cuban political
leaders that tho Taft commission came
in contact with proved themselves
nothing more than graftcrs: shrcwd
and keen hunters after political ONCE

When President Roosevelt returns
to Washington he and Secretary Taft
will 70 carefully over tho entire situa-
ton and determine whom tho election
shall be held and what method shall
be taken to insure n continuation OF
peace and normal conditions In Cuba.
That this will mean the retention OF
