The Water Ways as Equal- izers of Rates, Nzw York,, September 17.—Alber Fink, commissioner of the trunk lines, | Sonora the past fow days and grave foars was the first witness beforo tho Senato |are entortained for thers fate, He stated he was at the head of a bureau committee on labor and education. oomposed of about forty railroad compa- nies, who organized for the establishing and maintaining without regard to other reads. In order to improve the connection: and better the accommodations ef the establishing a uniform system |, of rates, a joint executive committee was s a regulator of railroad tariffs L the water routes by way of the grea lakes and the Mississippi river w re very effectual. At certain seasons of the year the canal routes were closed to and it was p:fimluly supposed public by formed. traffic, that railroads had it This was not true, and the idea that ti roads could extort any tariff they pleased P by merely combining, was false The The association had nothing to do with local business, but only when there wa eompetition at some great distributing .5 point for certain class of business. Thi ‘was necessary in order for the protection of shippers, that roads competing for this business should have an understanding by which rates should be known. Fink thought legislation might be em ployed to assist railroads i by the general G legislation could avail, Reagan trnsportation bill was utterly im. practicable. Freight rates of this coun- try were the cheapest in the werld and the tendency was to atlll lower them. The seheme that the Government should purchase the railroads of the country and run them itself he promounced the wildesi folly and one which no sane man would The capital- ized value of 112,000 miles of railroad for & moment contemplate. in the United States was about $7,000, 000,000. Last year the gross receipts of all these different lines was $700,000,000 net receipts the same time, $300,000,000 Of this latter sum §100,000,000 had been paid in dividends on stock. Of the remainder a large portion was ex- pended in interest on bonds, About 56 out. per cent of the running expenses of al railroads went to laborers employed as brakemen, conductors, firemen and en. gineers, Witness did not think there was any evidence that the road was charging too high rates or that the road was paying 20 per cent dividend on its The only thing to be regarded stock, was the rates. — Important Decisions, San Francisco, September 17.—1In a sories of tax cases brought against the by several counties the court rendered a de- cision to-day that under the new State Central Pacific railroad company eonstitution the railroad companics shal only be taxed on property after reducing ¢h is mortgaged. the the interpretation of the law on point, as also on the large amount in volved.

Manteuffel, in a conciliatoryspirit, had heretofore ex- empted these officials from :the operatien of the law making the use of the German language compulsory throughout Alsace- Lorraine. a check. Substantial houses gonerally support the new arrangement, while the weaker ones oppose it. The effect of it will be to compel persons of small capital to trade less recklessly, as they will be compelled to pay all margins against them before collecting margins in their favor, which will require larger cash cap- ital in proportion to the amounts of com- modities dealt in than under the eld regime, and any financial weakness will be more readily discovered.

In Mr. Pierrepont's sup- posed remarks are some very heavy atric. tures on the conduct of the commission- ors who now regulate political matters in Utah. Coming from such a source, the Commissioners appear to have folt deaply aggrieved, and they rushed into print, yet more, sent official dispatches to the department at Washington, denying the allegations in the interview. In their report it is insinuated that they are aware where the false statements with regard to their conduct had originated. Those who read their defense here immediately set it down that the Governor and other Federal officials were the ones to whom reference was made, and of course the Federal officiala in __ their turm felt aggrieved. The Mormons, too, felt disgusted. They had always regard Mr. Pierrepont as conservative on their question, and his utterances more than llll‘pl‘ilu(i them. Now the ex-attorney general comes to the front and asserts that the whole wla%mm is begus; that at the time it was published he had not met the President in the National park, and when he did he never expressed the sen- timents attributed to him; either with regard to the commissioners or the Utah question; in fact they are not_his senti- p [ments.

But the staple merchants of Utah, the affluent mining men, and those who have real interests in the territory, and are not anxious for such a radical change, as they believe such a commission would in no wise settle the Mormon question, but might aggravate the Mormons to take se unfriendly an attitude as to imperil the peace of the territory, and the conse- quent _interference if not destruction of their intevests. ~ While taxes are low and business flourishing those who have not some political axe to grind are ve willing that matters should remain in statu quo, and they do not believe the disruption of the present political condi- tion of affairs will have any effect in de- no change this morning in the passenger | Dot (they are so conscientious) refrain | 4.
