THE SENATE.

washington, March THAT interest
IN the railroad rate question contin-
ues undated was made manifest again
touay oy the large audience which
greeted Mr. Dolliyer from the senate
shlierles when he rose to speak on the
Dolliver- Hepburn bill From the first
the Iowa senator has been the cham
ploh OF the policy OF giving the inter-
state commerce full authority and the
iilehds OF the house bill have expected
nun to take a leading part in pressing
the consideration or the measure, not
Wlthstandlng II has been placed I'm
Sndlse OF another senator. His was the
hrst speech in support OF the bill.
Mr.. Doliver began his speech Mt
1880 p. M. Immediately after the dis-
posal of the routine morning business
That order included the passage of bills
authorizing the disposition Of surplus
lands on the Yakima and COlville In
dian reservation In Washington.
Mr., Dolliver spoke without notes. He
began with compliment TO Mr.. Gull
lom, of whom he spoke as the father
OF Interstate commerce legislation and
to Mr. Nelson, the author of bill pre-
sented 10 the last Congress.
The senator then outlined the bill
pointing out wherein II amends the ex-
listing Interstate law saying that after
ALL the changes were comparatively
few.
Instead OF undermining the law the
Dill fortltes IT," he said, and he de-
clared that III the present law had
been treated with the reverence and
sanctity It deserved, the American peo-
pie would have approached the sub
Ject In frame of mind different from
that which now prevails"
He said that the railroad companies
were unable 10 protect themselves
against the fragrant abuses" OF tho
private car companies under section |
of the present law. He had not ia
yored the abolition OF these cars. but
he did believe that the car companies
should be regulated by making respon-
sible the railroad companies employing
them.
Speaking OF the interstate commerce
commission he discussed Judge Cross
cups recommendation for specific
court, but he did not accept the theo-
ny advanced for the reason that he
considered the present machinery suf-
iicient for all purposes He recog-
nized the fact that Il had become
fashionable to speak slightingly OF the
interstate commerce commission and
defend the body against such attacks.
He expressed the opinion that II tho
lawyers had dealt as fairly with the
commission as with the courts, the re-
suit would have been better.

says:
The United Steamship company was in
corporated In Trenton, n. j., last Tues

yesterday that this company had purchas-
ed the steamships Mlnnetonka and Mime
waska, each OF about $500 tons, previously
used for the oil trade on the great lakes.
Persons Interested ~. the Company made
known last night that these and other
vessels were TO be used In the oil trade
on the Atlantic and Pacific between west
ern and eastern ports ana the lsthmus
OF Panama.
The United Steamship company is said
TO be affiliated with the Union OIL com
pany Of California, a concern which came
into life by the consolidation of several
small independent concerns In the lar
west.
The Minnewaska and Mlnnetonka were
sold to representatives. of the United
steamship company about two weeks ago
through local brokerage firm.
II was said last night by persons who
seemed TO know about the company that
the plans Of constructing a pipe line
across the isthmus had advanced so far
that a steamer, also the property Of the
United Steamship company, was
waiting orders in an eastern port to san
Tor the lsthmus with cargo - pipes
and pumping machinery.
There arrived in this city yesterday
from San Francisco, c. II. Baker. who

gard 10 the recent purchase Of steamers
by the United Steamship company.
There is plenty Of oil In California.
We have surveyed the lsthmus and thor
oughly Investigated the possibility OF
building a pipe line across H."

. ing the natural difficulties, the cars
were run in good time and shape.
WITH THE WIRE MEN.
Unlike the telegraph wires the tele-
phone service was not much impeded,
as the wind blew the snow of the
wires. What brings grief to the telephone
companies Is sleet that freezes on the
wires, weighs them down and breaks
them There is no sleet in this storm.
The snow was wet and packed readily,
so that sidewalk cleaning operations
were begun early, lest sudden drop
In temperature should cover the walks
in Icy letters. The walking Is unsatis-
factory and attended with inconyent-
ence on account OF the depth OF the
snow. But there Is "a general lnclina-
ton to be cheerful over the
storm on account of the extra amount
OF water that IL guarantees for the
coming summer.

Gov. Cutler Honors Requisition
Papers in Maxwell
Case.
WILL TRY HABEAS CORPUS.
Accused Mans Attorney May Attempt
To Prevent Officers Taking Prisoner
Back 10 Ohio Tomorrow.

After hearing arguments in the mat
ter in behalf Of the state and accused
Gov. Cutler today honored the reQuisi-
ton papers Of the governor of ohio
for the return to that state Of DR. pa
Vid z. Maxwell, who is wanted at
Cleveland upon the charge Of perform
ing a criminal operation upon Celia
switzer on Dec, 20, causing her death
on Dec. 81 OF last year. Unless his
attorney, Brigham Clegg, Is successful
in securing his release by n writ Of
habeas corpus Or. Maxwell will be
taken back to Ohio tomorrow to face
the charge preferred against him.
1t is more than likely, however, that
Attorney Clegg will file a petition for
a writ Of habeas corpus In behalf Of
his client, and, in that event, that mat
ter will have TO be disposed OF before
the prisoner IL turned over to the Ohio
officials who are here after him. This
viii mean a delay Of several days
should such action be taken.
IN MS argument before the governor
this morning, Attorney Clegg contend
ed that the papers IN the case we're de-
fective and further, that Il was not
shown that Maxwell was a fugitive
from justice at all, as he left the
state several weeks before any indict-
ment or charge was made against him,
Attorney General Breeder and County
Attorney Christensen argued that the
papers were regular and that IN the
eyes of the law Maxwell was q fugitive
from Justice, and hence the reQuisl-
ton should be honored. Gov Cutler
accordingly signed the requisition DR..
Maxwell was arrested IN this city by
the police department several days ago
upon the request of the Cleveland Off
Gals, and when arrested he was en-
ployed IN an assay Office under the
name OF Il. G. Thompson.
