The Interstate Commerce Men
Tell of Their Work.
A SYNOPSIS OF WHAT THEY BAY.
Congresa Ha* a Number of Huggeatlona to
Consliler anil a Number of Ad til*
tlsmal Aeta Am Asked for
on Many New Lines.
Washington, Dec. 4.—The following
ii a eynopria of the seventh annual re
port of the interstate commerce commis
sion:
Attention ia called to the peculiar of
fice of common carriers and the depend-
of every occupation upon tlielr fa*
dlitles; the right of every person to re-
celve just and espial treatment in all
that pertains to public transportation,
ami the paramount purposes of regula
ting enactments to secure to the people
the actual enjoyment of this right.
There must bo a common public rate,
prima fade, juat and reasonable, which
measures the lawful charges of the
iers. The enactment of the long and
short haul clause was deemed a public
necessity, it is nothing more than
extension to places of the rule forbidding
unjust discriminations between persons.
The operation of the long and short
haul provision is statod to have beqji un
satisfactory under the construction put
upon it by the commission and accepted
generally by the carriers. Bnt the effect
of the court of appeals in an Iowa
wherein the word “line” in the statute
given a wholly different meaning
from that which the commhwion had
held was tho proper construction,
been startling. This court decision has
been followed and expanded by other
courts. These decisions hold, in effect,
that one railroad is a lino and that the
another road is a different line and
that these railroads aro still another line
> and that the rates of ono li
are not to be compared with rates
another.”
The commission holds that the word
’hue” means a physical line, the tracks
of one or more railroads, and that a line
may be extended ovor other roads by
’ f connecting the traces. It is be-
that “tramp” vessels on the lakes,
operating under fluctuating rates, pre
vent the “regular” lines from publishing
through rate* iu connection .with m i
carriers. But certain methods pursued
by the “regular” lines are as obnoxious
as those of the “tramp” vessels.
Further statements are made with re
gard to publication of rates for water
and rail transportation, and recommen
dation is made for amendment, so as
to bring these water carriers under th#
law.
The commission recommend* addi
tional legislation on the following sab*
jects:
1. With respect to proceedings, to en
force the lawfnl orders of the compa
nies.
2. To give legislative construction to
the word “line" in the statute.
8. To provide for establishing through
routes and joint through rates.
4. To give the commission power to
prescribe minimum as well os maximum
rates to competitive points.
5. To provide for the adoption of a
uniform rate for the classification.
0. To make corporations subject to
tho act liable to indictment for violations
of tue law. ,
7. To provide a penalty for failure on
the part of carriers to file their annual
» within a specified time,
commission also calls the atten
tion of coagreee to the subjects generally
considered in the body of the report and
suggestions therein made with a view to
the fnrther extension of the act by ad
ditional amendments.

He Will Not Represent His
Country in Italy.

stotea Was final usd How
That note* Xa Varan*.
New Yoke, Dec. 4.—J. 3. Van Alen
has declined the appointment as ambass
ador to Italy. This was quite a sur
prise. A bitter fight was made on him
after the appointment, and it was not
until almost the last hour of the extra
session that tha senate did confirm him.
•It was ohsrged against him that he
bought his appointmsnt, having given
$50,000, or some snch very large sam, to
the democratic campaign fond on the
assurance of ex-Secretary Whitney that
he would get some first-clear appoint
ment. It was charged that Van Alen*
was an Anglo-maniac and had said that
the United States is no fit country for a
lady or gentleman to live in. He does
•pend much of his time abroad.
It ia now rumored that there woe a
quiet understanding before the senate
confirmed hitu that Van Alen would de
cline, otherwise his - Homin'‘Ion would
probably have been held up as Horn-
blower’s was.
From the correspondence given below
it Is clear that Van Alen was driven to
throw up the sponge by this ridicule.
The newj was received with many «•
pressions of relief from close friends of
the president. This is the best solution
of the embarrassing situation.
Haro Is th* Correspondence.
The following correspondence between
Hon. J. J. Van Alen and fhe president
and department of state has just been
made public and is self-explanatory:
Xr.wronT, tt. I, Nov. 90.
To tbo Hon. Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary
of State.
8m—I have the h -tor to acknowledge
the receipt of your let ier of the 98tb of Oc
tober. In which you officially notify
t$at the nresldeut by, nnd with the advloe
and cement of the senate, has appointed
me/nthsmador tft Italy. Since the receipt
of your letter 1 have given the matter my
moat serious and careful attention; and as
tho result of uiy reflections, have con
cluded to ask you to express to the presi
dent niy decision not t i accept the office
tendered
1 must beg that you will not infer from
th]s action any lock of appreciation on my
part of the honor conferred. On the con
trary, I fully comprehend the dignity, im
portance and responsibility of the position,
and having this realisation I may frankly
odd that the notqlnatlon was extremely
gratifying to me, not In a personal
merely, but more particularly because of
the opportunity afforded me of repreoent-
lng my country in such a manner os I
hoped might be satisfactory to the Ameri-
should pot yield to the' noise and clamor
which ukve arisen from those conditions.
My p.-nimal preference should enter very
■llKlillyynto your final determination, bnt
so far as\l have such preference, it la
phatically that you accept the honorable
office conferred upon you and vindicate
b> the dlacharge of Its duties the wisdom
and propriety of your selection. Await

and flattering sentiments you expi
For the reason 11 have already stated In
my letter to the aecretary of state and
which were reached only after long nnd
rloue consideration of the subject, I feel
that I cannot accept the high office to
which I have been appointed.
My only regret in this decision, which
must beg you to consider as final, is that
it Is contrary to the personal preference
which you so kindly express. Bnt 1 can
not think it would lw advisable for me to
invite further misrepresentation by taking
advantage of your generosity. Again
thanking you for your moat gradoua
words, and with an earnest hope for the
continuance of the wucccaaea which hart
already marked your second administra

Among the commenl
which appeared in the public proas, ooe
charge only merits attention, not because
It was true, hut because it was not, and 1
suppose is still believed by many persons
unfamiliar with the individuals concerned
and the facte eeeenllal to the formation of
accurate judgment. The charge woe
that I received the appolataient In return
for a contribution of $30,000 to the
erotic national campalgu fund.
While my uomlnatioa was pending In
the eeaate, U did not team fitting and
proper for me to offer morathan an ekpltdt
\ 1 was aware that, as an Interested
party, my statement would have little
effect beyond tbo limits of my personal ac
quaintance*.' Now, however, when my
action cannot be fairly attributed to pure
ly selfish motives, It seems to me that a
repetition of that denial, which I make
without qualification, should be sufficient
for any honorable man.
I have not denied and do not now deny
that I contributed to tho campaign fund—
not $50,000, but yet a considerable sum of
money—sincerely believing as 1 did that a
continuation of Republican supremacy
would be not only a hindrance to national
program, but, in tiro#, a positive
to the succero of popular government, and
having Urge Interests at stake, 1 was im
pelled by both patriotic and sal fish
to old the Democratic canoe.
So fkr from attaching andue Importance
to it, I was fully aware that a contribution
meant ter Ism to me than the time and
effort devoted by thousands of unselfish
dtUens to tha same campaign. Nor did 1
bailors that it should entitle me to any
On the other band, I frankly admit that
until after tho appointment had been
made U never occurred to my mind that
my contribution could be used to my in
jury. It, therefore, teems to me sufficient
to add that ml f-respect compete me to
adopt the only alternative and to decline
the high office to which I have been op-
pointed.
I have the honor to he your obedient
servant, j. j. Van Alk*.

fanatar Hawley Speaks for the ltapabll*
eons we the Tariff lass*.
Washington, Dec. 4.—Senator Haw
ley was asked if he thought the Repub
licans in the senate would make an ef
fort to prolong the debate upon the tariff
MU when it reaches the senate.
“The Republicans will demand an op
portunity to be heard upon the subject,'
ho replied, “and there will be fnU de
bate upon oar aid* of the chamber, bat
we shall make no factious apparition,
and will not resort to taettos for delay
of the final day whan legitimate debate
shall be exhausted. If the RepabUcan
senators had any disposition to seek this
detev, which they have not, they would
not be supported by their conetituente in
doing so. The manufacturers and oth
ers who art interested in the subject
the tariff are anxious to know thrir fat ,
and will derire to have the question die-
jtosed ofas speedily as it can be propet-
In reply to a question os to whether
tbo manufacturing states would not be
moUlfled largely by the fact that thff
Wilson hiU gose ao far towards putting
raw materials upon the free Hat, the
senator replied that they would not.
