One OF the most interesting state
ments made by the interstate com
merce commission in its report just
issued is that practically all the rail.
roads of the country are showing a
willingness to obey the new law. This

NOT ID REWIE
 SILVER QUESTION
Senator Teller Says Such Was Not His Purpose In Letter
 To FreWen.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Referring to the publication of a letter written by him on the financial question to Sir MoTeton. Frewen, Senator Teller said today that he had no intention OI reviving the silver question, but his only purpose had been to call atten- tiOn to the present exchange cOndi- tions between America and Europe on enc side and India on the other. The question of exchange" he said, 'is one of world wide importance, and there has come to be such a diyerg- ence between the prices in gold using and silver using countries that the situation is growing somewhat acute. It is so much in evidence that anyone who gives the least attention to the financial question must observe 1t. Hence I make no tapoIogy for my reference to it in personal letter to Mir. Frewen."

 He then went into the executive mansion where he had a brief inter view with Torres Cardenas, chief of the conspirators, who denied the ex. istence of any plot. Gomez was not deceived by such stories. He seized Cardenas by the shoulder and said: T have discovered your plot to assas. sinate me. You are my prisoner" Cardenas tried to use his revolver on the acting president, but Gomez was mans arms, called a guard and Car denas was hurried away to jail. The two aTests made single-handed by Gomez broke up the plot and Gomez's friends came forward quickly to his support. Orders were carried for the arest of Garbieas Guerman Lopez, minister of the interior in the cabinet that was forced to resign on Decem.

THE HARTMAN CASE.

The United States Supreme court has decided that tbe interstate com merce commission is not entitled to press questions relative to private transactions involving matters of in. terstaue commerce, except upon com plaint filed with the commission. The refusal of E. H. Hartman and Otto H. Kuhn to answer certain questions propounded by the commission is,. therefore, sustained. The commission began an inquiry two years ago into the combination Of the Union Pacific with several other railroad lines, 1n the course of which questions were propounded to Mr. Hartman relating to his ownership of stock in the Chi cago and Alton. Illinois Central, New York Central, and other roads. He declined to answer tIese questions on the ground that they were private matters, not properly connected with the purpose of the Inquiry.
 The United States circuit court for the southern district of New York held that Mir. Hartman should be com pelled to answer Eaost of the ques- tions. The supreme court, however. reyerses this decision and holds that the commissions inquiries should be confined to matters in which com piaint has been made. Tn it's opinion the interstate commerce commission has no right to sacrifice privacy in proceedings begun upon it's own initia- five. The court b Ids that the act creating the interstate commerce com mission confers power upon the com mission to compel the attendance of witnesses only in connection with quasfjudicial investigations, and ap- parentIy it believes tnat there is notn- ing in. the law authorizing the com mission to enter upon inquisitorial ex- alninatsons for the purpose of gather ing data upon which to recommend legislation in connection with the regulation of commerce.
 Members of the interstate com merce commission express the opin- ion that the supreme courts decision does not materially affect the efn- cacy of the interstate commerce laws It is evident. however. that the courr has performed valuable service to the people by confning the coEnmis- { sion strictly to the exercise of the powers conferred ppon it by law.

The cheapest thing found this sea son off an Arizona bargain counter was, the letter written by Roosevelt to Judge Kent. calling for the pres ence of Kibbey in Washington to as sist in helping Arizona's statehood
 cause. It seems that neither Teddy nor Kibbey can enthuse Beveridge and Cannon on the proposition to do justice to the people of Arizona.
