W know that it costa eta to ship goods th entire distance across tha continent than it does t ship tha asm gjoda ona-thlrth distance, sad that when goods ara destined from Boston to BaH Lab City they ara carried to California and hack again to Balt Lake City in order to obtain the cheap rata; and knowing the thing wa must realiie that such a conditoa of affairs at least require supervision upon the part of some tribunal outside of. and beyond, tha rallroada, that are simply building up their awn territory to increase their own revenue and profits." Admitting tha difficulty of dealing with thia subject because of the effect of wator competition, Mr, Ray-ne- r said: "What wa require is a little common aenae upon this subject. Wo cannot pass a law that will convert tha lowaa and hamlets of Iowa immediately into great manufacturing centers, but what w can do ia to take broad view of the whi le field and ascertain if we cannot endow a tribunal with adequate power, whenever cases occur whera unnecessary discrimination ia practiced, to apply a remedy without indicting any injury upon the railroad." Diacusslng what he declared to be the impoteney of the Interatate Commerce commission under the preaant law to enfor-- e decree, Mr. Rayner said: "We may scheme and forge and fashion, but It is not within tha realm of human 'ngenulry to formulate any g power that plan except the will remedy the defect and supply tha omission." He contended that there ia no doubt of tha power of congress to vest a commission with the power to establish rates, basing hla conclusion upon decisions of tha supreme court. Referring to Mr. Forekera contention that the holdings of the court era against thla power, b declared the contrary to be Due. Mr. Rayner reto Mr. Forakeri plied aeratlm points. Ha declared hi satisfaction with tha MU aa t passed the. house and added: "It may requlro soma alight change in Ita phraseology, but its substantial provisions meet with my approval. I have no fear or anxiety, not tho alight eat, that tha commission will perpetrate any act of injustice under thta measure, and believe tba power of tha courts under th fifth amendment ia ample to protect tha property of th ranters. If the senate. however, should take a different view and In to the Invast tha courts, in addition herent power that they now posses to protect the rallroada from confiscation, with the further power to review tho proceedings of the rqpimlaslon as to tha reasonablerees of justness of Us acta, then shall I In proper time offer an amendment that th courts complete th work that la before them and that they do not engage the Idle process of arndlng back cases again to the commission without any effective or dar or legal suggestion as to Ita future action." .

Washington, March 14 At the beginning of ita reealon today the senate passed a bill authorising Rear Admiral C. H. Davis, V. B. V. to accept gifts tendered him by the British and Russian governments. Mr. Warren addressed the senate on the bill extending from 211 to 88 hours the timi- - during wMrh livestock in transit on railroad trains may he confined without change, saying that the measure was in the Interest of and should ha passed. He said that the extension of tlm was to he made only upon the request 4 shippers snd that it would not work hardship on either owners or their stock. The bill was reported and a number of senator made objection that it should have been considered by the commutes on internets commerce. After further diarusaion of the measure by Messrs. Carter, Lodge. Hey-burGalllnger and Bpooner tha bill wa laid aside and a resolution authorising teachers tn Alaska to assign thair salaries to ot her waa passed. Mr. Rayner then addressed tha senate on the railroad rata bill. Mr. Rayner announced hla . adher race to tnr rata Mil a It passed the house. After stating that tha power to regulate commerce among the states la tha greatest power confer-roupon congress by th constitution, Mr, Rayner entered immediately upon tn consideration of the various branches of Ms subject. Ha expressed th opinion that discrimination is the real lesua. "If." he Mid. "an accurate rat map 4 the United State human-Itarlanis- d - Morgan, Gould and Harrinua."

On tha question of a review of tha findings of tha commission by th courts, Mr. Rayner said he had reached the conclusion that "Under tha Nebraska decision in the case of Smytlie va. Ame th courts, with power reposed in them, will give ample protectloa to the carriers In every case whera A commission does not allow them just compensation, and will not compel them to prove that a ingle rate la absolutely confiscatory." He would, however, have it understood that he waa opposed to the provision permitting the court to suspend tho orders of the commission during the pendency of tha proceedings. "I am." ha raid, "in favor (4 an amendment to tha Hepburn bill vesting in the court the right to try the question of unjust compensation with rest raining orders abolished, and with the further right, if possible, to let tha court fix the rata If it reverse the order of the commission. With these changes I am in favor of the hill aa passed by tha bouse, end If wa cannot get tneaa changes I prefer to take the MU as it is rather than mutilate or destroy its efficiency." Announcing that hla interests are Identified with the rallroada, Mr. Rayner advised tha railroad managers to accept the pending legislation lest the people take th question In their own hands, organizing a political party that will be imalatlble and will in tho end enact far more stringent provision. "The Interatate Commerce commission will not dare." k Mid, "to taka any step that will depreciate tha property of the people or that will cauaa any extreme conditions In railroad management or policy.
