 there are unfair lower rates to the Ala baua cities than from New Orleans.
 The hsht of the New orleans board of Trade is directed solely against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad They are not necessarily protesting against the lower rates from the West to Mont gomery and Selma, but are praying for a lower basis of rates from New Or lsans to these same points, It. is ale ieged that Memphis, on certain of the numbered and lettered classes. as well as Louisville, hundreds of miles more distant, are given lower ratss-to this city and Selma than New Orleans com- petitors enjoy.s .sat stss-;. is3
 The Louisville and Nashville. through Traffic Manager Compton Is resisting the complaint of the New Orleans Board of Trade strongly. zs This ofiioer insists that there is an entirely different rate adjustment to Montgomery and Selma from the Ohio and Mississippi River crossings than exists for New Orleans in relation to the Alabama cities. He submitted a mass of figures to sustain his contention on this and other points.
 The hearing reached the "gingery" stage once or twice yesterday after noon. in which Messrs. Compton of the defendant. and Smith of the plaintiff. had short colioquy. They were cau- tioned Dy Cofnmissioher Oieihehes' however. to chop all unnecessary dia- iosue. and, itswould9 eheumber the rec ords that much less.
 The. Commission adioNrned at o'clock yesterday afternoon to hear the cases involving rates between New Orleans and Montgomery and. Selma this morning beginning st l0 o'clock. It 1t very probably that the end of tes- timony will be reached about noon to- day. Then the members of the Com mission, after sitting four days in Montgomery will sojourn to Washing ton, swmA

Summary of senate.

Washington. May 1.--Ths time of tho Senate was taken up for two hours today with a speech by Senator Jeffer- son Davis, asking that the Committee on Judiciary be discharged from fur ther consideration of his bill for the suppression of trusts.
 The remainder of the day was given over to the consideration of resolu- tion by Senator Elkins suspending un- til January l., 19I0. the commodity clause of the Hepburn railroad rate law. The resolution provoked so much debate and so many amendments were offered dealing with other phases of the railroad rate legislation that the whole matter went over till Monday. tomorrow being given over to eu1ogies for the late Senators from Florida. Tn the meantime the Senate leaders hope to perfect a resolution that can be agreed upon next Monday
 The commodity clause under provis- ions of the Hepburn bill went into ef- feet today and railroads therefore which haul interstate commerce pro- ducts of mines or manufactories in which the carriers are interested. are liable to maximum fines of $5,000 for each ofYense.
 The Elkins resolution proposes to give the railroads twenty months ad- ditional in which to divorce themselves from these properties on the ground that the financial con- dition of the country has been such that the railroads have been unable to find buyers. and to set- tie such questions of joint ownership as are involved in mortgages covering both the railroad property and mining or manufacturing property. MT. Elk ins used this argument in pleading for ] the adoption Of his resolution. Sew ] eral Senators. notably Messrs. Culber- son and Nelson. argued that the rail- roads had not assumed an attitude that entitled them to consideration.
 With the whole subject unsettled and many amendments pending, the Senate at 4:29 p. m. adjourned.

CONGRESS
Summary es House.

Washington. May 1.---The House spent all of today's session in the read. ing and passing, paragraph by para graph of the sundry civil appropria. ton bill
 As the outcome of a determined ef- fort to strike from the bill a restric- tion prohibiting the employment of se- cret service operatives in any detec- tive work other than the guarding of the President and the running down of counterfeiters. which effort was vig- orously opposed by members of the Appropriations Committee, the lmita- tion was agreed to and the paragraph adopted in substantially it's original form.
 Objection by Democratic members, in pursuance of the minority filibuster. to unanimous consent defeated the passage of a bill, for the printing and distributing of 100000 copies of a spe- cia report by the Department of Agri- culture describing diseases of cattle.
 At 514 D.. rr1., the House took re- cess until tomorrow. morning at 1i:3O o'clock. r
