A possible result of the stringent "reg-
ulation" now being applied to railroads,
not only by the federal government, but
by nearly all the states, is the surrender
OF their charters and the acquisition of
the properties and conduct of the same
by the government, or by the states. We
do not believe this is the end in view
now on the part of those most actively in
terested in railroad regulation, but it may
lead to that conclusion eventually. If
the conditions prescribed by law become
so burdensome that railroads cannot be
operated under them as paying invest
ment, of course something will happen.
Capital will no longer flow to them, and
calamity will follow Receiverships can
be but temporary, and some legal owner
ship must devolve somewhere. But who
will take them, if they cannot pay? And
inasmuch as the railroads are necessity.
it may be found that the state itself will
have to run them "a process of seques-
tration not pleasing to contemplate, but
more or less imminent, nevertheless
This is an era of anti-railroad agitation
1t may lead to results quite unexpected
Reasonable railroad regulation is just and
proper, but it may be SO overdone as tc
spell ruin to thousands and millions OF
investors and prove serious check to the
country.

 Combination really benefits the pub lie. The public may think otherwise, but it will learn the real truth in time. That time will come sooner, if com binations are legalized. I believe in control and regulation, as I declared before the interstate commerce com mission, but I think within the limit of such control corporations ought to be allowed to combine as they find it nec- essary or beneficial.
 He said that the railroads had fre- quently been at fault in the past by their failure to live up to traffic agree ments. In this way there had come a lack of confidence among railroad men, and the public naturally grew to lose confidence in the acts of the railroad men.
 Restrictive legislation, Mr. Hartman thought, must tend to reduce dividends unless met in some other way. The fact is plain, he said, that there is a lack of confidence by capital. He cited the price paid by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for its recent loans in France.

SENATE DIsPosEs OF VOLUME OF
 BUSINESS.

Hartford, March 7,-As Lieutenant Governor Lake was again absent Sen ator Brooks of Torrington was the pre- siding officer in that body. The un- favorable report of the railroad com mittee on the bill requiring that all railroad crossings should be guarded either by hagmen, gates or electric sig nal was tabled after a short debate. Senator Thompson of the committee said that the statutes cover this matter at present and the bill was not neces- sary. He wanted the report accepted and the resolution rejected.
 Senator Potter thought the bill was a good one, and Senators Donovan and Spellacy were inclinde that way and after a short debate the matter went to the table.
 The resolution to supply deficiencies in appropriations for the present fiscal year was favorably reported and 1t was sent to the calendar.
 The bill to permit the comptroller to pay capitol attaches monthly was talk en up under suspension of the rules and passed.
 The committee on fisheries and game reported unfavorably on a number of matters relating to fishing in specific localities. These were accepted as were unfavorable reports appointing Howard B. Scott judge of the city court of Danbury, judge Scott having gone to higher bench; concerning notaries public and providing that railroads shall light their cars by other means than oil lamps. ....... On motion of Senator Brown the bill tabled yesterday increasing the amount of state aid on drawbridge accounts was recommitted owing to opposition to 1t.

 Hartford, March 7.-The amendment to the charter of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, called the debenture bill, passed the house to-day after another colloquy between the party leaders, Representatives Banks amd Gum.
 Immediately after the prayer of the chaplain, Representative Gun withdrew his motion to have yea and nay vote taken on the passage of the resolution, which motion compelled adjournment yesterday by reason of no quorum, say ing he wished to speak on the main question at a later date and that there was no reason for delaying the vote on this bill. He gave assurance that bill of some sort having the purport of the principle which he advocated as to the question of rights of minority stockholders would come up later, and at least minority report would be sent in on it.
 Representative Banks said he agreed with the previous sneaker that there l 1rI, Ia thn tf2r and moved the previous question, name ly, on passage of the resolution.
 Mir Gum was accorded the privilege of making an explanation, reiterating that it was his purpos etc speak at some other time on the matter of mi nority rights; but in withdrawing his motion for a yea and nay vote he did so as it would serve no purpose.
 MT Banks insisted upon the previous question, and it was put. MT. Gum doubted the yea vote, and the members rose and tho speaker said the years f seemed to have it. Mir Gum then withdrew his doubt, and the passage of 1 the resolution was declared.
 Mir. Banks then said that under the rules a member could move reconsider ation to-day or tomorrow, and to avoid this he would move reconsidera- ten and asked the members to reject the motion MT. Gum seconded the motion, saying MT Banks need have no fear of reconsideration.

 After the action of the house became known it was stated by Senators Dono- van and Judson that they expected to debate tn ebill when it reached the sem ate, which probably would be to-mor- row.
