RATE FIXING NOT JUDICIAL ACT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION ORDER UPHELD.
Decision Rendered by United States
Circuit Court in Controversy
Over Coal Tariff.

The interstate commerce commission has
just received a decision in the case OF
Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com
pany ct al. VS.. interstate commerce COM
mission, decided last Monday at Phila
delphia by the United States circuit court,
composed of Judges Gray. Burlington
and Lanning. The court unanimously
held that the fixing of rates as an Incl
dent to the regulation of commerce is
nom judicial function and that when the
legislative branch has itself acted therein
o. by proper delegation of its powers has
acted through the interstate commerce
commission-provided no legal, constitu-
tional or natural right has been violated
the order of the commission will not be
suspended or vacated by a court. Further,
that when the question of suspending or
setting aside such an act comes before
court under such statute the question is
one of law-that IS to say, whether the
commission transcribed its power or eX
ercised such power without due regard
to law. For example, the court cites, a
failure to comply with statutory requisites
of notices or to afford statutory hearing,
or that the action taken was confiscatory
are elements a court might dec de as
throwing light upon the lawful or unlaw-
full character Of the order under rev.ew.
The case involved certain coal tariffs
in which discrimination was charged. The
commission, on complaint being filed by
the carriers, demurred to the bill. The
court, after cons dering the matter as set
forth in the bill. sustained the demurrer
and directed that the bill be dismissed.

The schooner Oshkosh. which put out

the stranded vessel, which got of the
beach last night. and was thought to be
at anchor.
The lifeboat from Garibaldi Beach could
not take the passengers and crew or yes

was only by almost superhuman efforts
that Capt. Farley of the life crew man
aged to take on board his boat some OF
the women. Owing to the danger of the
heavy seas and the battered condition OF
his boat he would not take off more than
four persons.
After quitting the steamer Capt. Farley
took his boat some distance up the beach
in an effort to make a safe landing, but
the lifeboat capsized, pinning beneath 1t
the rescued passengers and several or
the crew. Two women were rescued. but
two others and a member of the life crew
were drowned. A lifeboat containing
Capt. Snyder and ten other persons also
was lost

In his inaugural address Gov Cotton
declared:
THAT complete self-government under
the American flag and Constitution will
eventually come to the people OF Porto
Rico Is as certain as our institutions are
secure. 1t will come to them after a
sustained public opinion has arisen among

In his address he also announced that
no questions concerning the political or
religious opinions of any applicant for
office would be asked. No person in the
executive branch of the government. he
continued, will use his official authority
or influence for the purpose of interfering
with an election. and no person in the
CLASSIFIED civil service will take any active
part In political arrangements of cam.

With the coming Of Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land to this place the American colony
has become of considerable Importance.
The Washingtonians here are Mrs.
Whilpley and Mrs. Baldwin. Up to this
time the American element Is undoubtedly
predominating, and there is a noticeable
tendency toward prolongation of the
autumn season. Some of the Americans
are settling down here for the entire
winter.
Mrs. Cleveland's present intention 10
to remain here long enough for her chill
dren to acquire French, her sons having
oeen entered at the well known educa-

for her children is regarded AS a high
testimonial to the recognized excellence or

Mrs. Cleveland's Impressions.
Since her marriage Mrs. Grover Clere-
land had not been abroad and SO this was
her first visit to Switzerland and to an
interviewer she recently expressed her
keen admiration of the view of the lake
and mountains obtainable from the win
dows of the private apartments of five
bedrooms, a dining room and salon
that the party is occupying. She further
EXPRESSED her intention of thoroughly ex-
ploring the different places of interest Oh

The coming winter season will undoubt-
edly prove d very gay one, but Mrs.
Cleveland, on account of her mourning, Is
living very quietly and has taken up the
study of Italian as mental recreation.
She is not accepting any invitations, but
occa sionally attends the afternoon con-
certs at the Casino, accompanied by Mrs.
Perrine and Miss Hastings.

Athletic News and Notes.

Now that the track season Is coming
around again and the meet managers are
getting busy, one subject, and one that
has caused a great deal of trouble in the
past. should be thoroughly looked into
and corrected. and that is the question OF
making stringent rules which cannot be
gotten around in regard to junior and in
termediate events and relay races.
The old method OF setting an age limit
has proven itself very unsatisfactory, as
the contestants have such convenient
memories that their ages are liable to
vary on sliding scale basis, according to
the limit set on the race. This has caused
meet managers and the A. A. IT, offic ais
no end of trouble. as with but few excep-
tions one or more of the entrants of
every junior or intermediate race has
been protested against, but always with
the same result, he states that he is
within the age limit and his word has to
be taken.
In many cases, both in this city and in
Bait more, the writer has personal knowl-
edge of athletes. sometimes as old as
twenty years. running on relay teams In
races with a sixteen-year Limitation on
them This is not fair to either the ath-
letes, the meet officials or the sporting
public. and should be corrected at once.
and suggestions which m ght have a
remedial effect are: First, that weight
limit be set and athletes weighing more
than the limit be not allowed to compete;
second. that a height limit be set, and
third, that both weight and height limit
be set. BY having a rule of the nature
suggested above Il quick and accurate
settlement can be made Of protested cases
as the athlete In question can very easily
be either weighed or measured, as the
case may be.
There will be no meets in Baltimore
