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. 11m Carlin Forty tots. Portland, Ore., Dec. 4.—A dispatch from Lieutenant Eliot from Kendric, Idaho, states that his party and the Car lin hunting party, which was lad in the snow, have arrived safely. VAN ALEN DECLINES. He Will Not Represent His Country in Italy. THE OORBE8POHDEHOE JU8T OUT. llr. Cltvelaail Crgsd Ik# Gentleman Deco milder tha Matter, hat lit# On* 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.

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.

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.

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.
