THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE BILL
Tho Attornry-OeneraTs Favorable Report
and the President*# S'gnatnre.
Washington, February 4.—The signing
the inter state commerce bill by the
President was in fall accord with the opin
ion of Attorney-General Garland, rendered
on last Monday, and it is very well under
stood to be in accord with the views of the
cabinet. The Attorney-General waa asked
to-night to give his views in regard to the
bill aud < xplain wherein it differed from the
Senate bill of two years ago, which ho op
posed on the ground that it was unconsti
tutional. He declined to do so, saying he
regarded the ODlnion he had given tho
President as strictly confidential. It is
learned, however, from a trnstwoithy
sourse, that the Attorney-General
as well as the President considers
the bill which has become a law free from
all material features which were objection
able in the Senate bill of two years ago.
Acoording to this information the Attorney-
General’s objection to the old bill was to
the vast powers given to the commissioners
of a legislative and judicial character. Tho
Attorney-General is said to hold that the
present bill does not confer judicial power*
on the commission, but pais them in the
ooarts on a report from tho commission,
and that it doe* not confer legislative power
except in the fourth seotion (the long and
short haul clause), and that this is warrant
ed by numberless precedents in the legisla
tive history of tho government
