INCREASE IN FUNDS .
VOTED TRADE BODY.
Federal Commissions Appro-
priation for Services in !
District Is Amended.

The Senate appropriations committee
today amended the independent Offices
appropriation bill to enable the Federal
Trade Commission to spend larger
part of its appropriations for special
services in the District of Columbia
The amendment does not raise the total
of the commissions appropriation for
the next fiscal year, but authorizes use
of 81 10000 instead of $1,14O,OO0 for
the work of the commission in the
District.
The only other change in the bill
made by the Senate committee was
the granting of an increase of 81 ,007,-
313 in the appropriation of the Inter
state Commerce Commission for carry
ing on railroad valuation work, with
particular reference to the recapture
feature of the transportation law.
The Senate committee approved
without change the item of 81 600, 900
passed by the House for continuing
work on the Arlington Memorial
Bridge.
AS passed by the House, the bill car
ried a total of $552,5f4,7 53 for all ac-
tivities of the various independent es-
Establishments of the Government AS
reported by the Senate committee, the
total of the bill is $3.50. 522, 066, the
difference being due entirely to the in
crease in valuation work for the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Even
with this increase the bill is S161, 9T2
under the estimates for the fiscal year
1881.

HIGH COURT RULING
BENEFITS RAILWAYS
Supreme Tribunal Absolves Compa-
MES From Paying Estimated Value
of Lost Merchandise.

BY the Associated Press.
Decision of outstanding Importance
to railroads was rendered by the SUI
preme Court when 1t held that roads
in paying for shipments lost in transit
could not be required to pay what the
lost merchandise would have brought
If it had been delivered and sold at re-
tail.
The question reached the court in a
case brought by the Illinois Central,
seeking to have reversed a decision of
the lower courts holding that the P
Mccoy Fuel Co. of Minnesota, was en-
titled to recover for coal lost in tran
sit from Royalton, ILL.,, to Minneapolis,
damages measured by the price the
coal would have brought had it been
delivered
The Pennsylvania and large num-
Der of railroads joined the Illinois Cen
trail in contending that the liability of
the carriers, when shipments are lost
in transit should be a fair average
market value of the lost merchandise
at the time and place of shipment.
