PROF. ELLIOTT'S PAPER.
Suppressed as Rejecting Upon the
Vice President

Senator Foraker yesterday obtained
a paper introduced by him Wednesday
last and printed as a public document.
and the order carried with 1T the sup
preston of all the printed copies of the
paper. His Introduction of the paper
last week and the withdrawal yester-
day contained no intimation Of the SEN
sational character of the document.
which still would be unknown had it
not been for the fact that several
copies had been given out before it was
suppressed.
The paper was prepared by Henry w
Elliott of Lakewood Ohio. md pur-
ported TO be the official record of the
loot and ruin Of the fur seal herd of
Alaska" 1t was stated in chronological
order. beginning with 1868 and continu =
ing to the present time 1t was written
in longhand, closely spaced and diff
cult to read. Prof. Elliott had submitted
records of pelagic sealing several times
and they had always been printed as
public documents. Therefore when SEN
ator Foraker was asked to have the
alleged official record printed he made
the request in the usual form and did
not take the trouble to read it. YeSter-
day he made apologies to Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and several senators.
1t was not until the paper came out
in printed form that its character be-
came known. 1t was found to reflect
upon the integrity of the presiding Of
ficer of the Senate. and upon members
of the; Senate and House and other gov
eminent officials. 1t transgresJed one

Senator Martins Position.
CASE TO BE MADE.
Law Aimed at the Coal-Owning
Roads to Be Tested.

The government will not prosecute rail-
roads for failure to comply with the
commodity clause" of the railroad rate
law pending a decision of the Supreme
Court. This decision has been arrived al,
it is unders1o ood. after careful consdera-
tion by the President. and he has accord
ingiy directed the Department of Justice
to bring test case as soon as possible
after May |. the day when becomes effect
i've the law prohibiting any railroad to
transport any article or commodity other
than timber. manufactured. mined
produced by such road or in which 1t
is directly on indirectly interested. Thus.
any railroad that owns coal mines would
he liable TO prosecution should it carry
It's own coal TO market. The President,
1t is stated. has desire to increase the
embarrassments which surround the rail-
RI ads in their efforts to comply with the
law. and as the question OF the validity
of the commodity clause has been seri-
ously raised by competent legal opinion.
it was thought best for all interests in
volved that prompt determine ton of the
question by the Supreme Court should be
sought. 1t is understood that the rail-
roads have given assurance to the govern
ment that If the courts decide against
them they will Immediately and in good
faith comply with the law.
