associations now being formed which
were perfectly optional, and were not ir-
posed by the law.
Continuing M. BRAND said he was con-
vinced that the French Episcopate was
fully inclined to accept the liberal candi-
tion of the separation law, but mat o.
ders from Rome had enforced the bishops
to decline the privileges offered. The gov
ernment, however, did not intend to risk
trouble by the abrupt closing CT tha
churches next December, and is deter-

year for mature reflection, in the mean

Washington, November "a general in
vestigation of what is known as the Har-
riman system of railroads under the au-
thority conferred by law, is one of the
subjects that has been discussed by the
interstate commerce commission. Because
of the pressure of work before the COM
mission and the great amount of labor
and time involved in such an undertake
ing, the matter has thus far been consid-
cred only in an informal and tentative
way, and no final decision has been
reached as to when the proposed inquiry
shall begin. or the methods to be fol-
lowed in securing the information de-
sired.
The propriety of an investigation of the
system has been talked of by members
of the commission for some time, and that
body, it is said, stands committed to an
inquiry.
1--WE have been informed" said a men,
ber of the committee tonight, that this
system in some of it's features is not un-
like the Northern Securities case, which
was dissolved through the interposition of
the attorney general of the United States.
Any steps that may be taken by the
commission along the lines referred to
will be, it is said, in accordance with the
general powers of the commission con-
ferred by law, and not because of any i'm

of the bureau of filtration.
Schaffhauser was called from his office
to the corridor of the seventh floor to-
day on tho pretense that friend wished
to see him. He was met by Hornberger,
