Washington, April Eek Senator William E.
Chandler. chairman of the Spanish treaty claims
commission, who called at the White House to-
day to give the President some information on
the progress of the work of the commission, ex-
pressed the belief that the affairs of the office
over which he presides will speedily be wound up
The gentleman who said unpleasant things
about the commission would probably have
said them quite hard had he been conversant
with the facts" said Mr.. Chandler after his talk
with the President. "As a matter of fact
very nearly up with work, and will complete
it in a short time If Congress will only let us
alone. 1t is a mistake to think that have
several years work ahead of u.s. and we are not
attempting in any way to prolong our official
existence, have just left some information for
the Presidents use which will, I think, give the
inquiring gentleman some much needed infor-
nation"
The President later in the day transmitted to
Congress the statement prepared by Mr. Chand-
Ter. The President recommends the passage Of
2 law limiting and fixing the fees of attorneys
IN cases where awards are made in favor of
claimants, and also that the question whether
a right of review by the Supreme Court of the
decisions Of the commission should be given by
means of writs Of certiorari be decided at the
present session Of Congress. He says the busi-
ness OF the commission is proceeding with due
care ana reaSOnable eXpedltOn, the spanish gov

Mr. Bryan is in favor of giving the citizen fair

Mr. Bryan has contributed TO the current NUM-

words say that he is in favor Of individualism as
against socialism, he shows decided leaning IN
favor of individualism

THREE-CENT FARES INVOLVED
Supreme Court Decides in Favor of Cleve-
land Street Railway Company

Washington April 9.-The case of the city Of
Cleveland against the Cleveland Electric Railway
Company decided to-day by the Supreme Court
of the United States in favor OF the company. The
case involved the right of the city grant
ter to street-car line to operate in Woodland
avenue in the face of the contention of the COM
pany that its charter had not expired. The opn-
ion by Justice McKenna.
The case presented a phase Of the effort to force
three-cent fares on the street railways in Cleve-
land The electric company claimed the control
of the streets of the city until 1903 the action
begun by the company to contest the grant of
a charter by the city TO the Forest City Company
for line along Woodland avenue. The old COM
pany attacked this charter a violation of its
contract with the city under it's own charter, and
charged the granting of it to be "a part of a CON
spiracy between the city and the Forest City Com
pany to compel the old company to submit TO
three-cent fares" The old company asked the
courts to declare the new COmpanys charter TO be
null and void. and to restrain 1t from proceeding.
The Circuit Court granted this prayer, and the city
appealed to the Supreme Court with the result of
securing an affirmation of the decision against H.

CHICAGO WINS SUIT.
Street Railsoay Company Mast Re
more or LOzger Tunnel.

Washington, April 9.-The Chicago street rail-
way case, involving the right of Chicago to COM
pei the street railway company Of that city to
remove or lower its tunnel under the Chicago
RlVer at Van Buren street decided by the
supreme Court of the United States against the
company to-day, on the ground that the change
Is an exercise of governmental authority in the
interest OF the common welfare. The opinion
was by Justice Harlan. The Chief Justice and
justices Brewer White and McKenna dissented.
The proceeding in this case grew out of an
effort on the part of the city of Chicago as the
agent Of the United States government to COM
pei by mandamus the streetcar company to re-
move Its tunnel under the Chicago River or to
lower 1t. The proceeding was taken at the in
stance OF the national government because OF
lts decision to deepen the channel of the river
Inc time fixed for the removal is the 10Th inst
AFTER winch. If il is not removed the Streetcar
company Will be required to pay penalty of
%IO'oOo a month. In the trial of the case the
company admitted the ownership of the land
"here the tunnel is located by the city but con-
Iended that as at the time 1t was constructed IL
was lawful structure, neither the city of Chi
Cago' the State of Illinois the United States
had power to compel its removal without COM
pensaton. 1t was therefore pleaded that inter-
terence with the tunnel would be a violation OF
contract. The State Supreme Court did not ac-
cept the company's contention and the case was
brought to the federal Supreme Court by the
railroad company on writ of error.
