The committee is made up as follows: Mel»

William C. (bites, of Alabama; Gen. F. B.
89inch, William W. .‘lorrow, of California
Chairmn Ford's brief statement of the
W of the purpose of the committee wae
theenly preliminary. That over, Manager
E. L. Boon, of the Hamburg-American
Steamship company, took the stand. The
oempany,heeaid, ran twenty-nine vessels,
employed 1,000 agents, and had brought over
”,000 emigrants to the United states from
Jan. 1, 1883, to Dec. 31, 1887. ,
William Beverly, of the Anchor line, was a
rather-in witness. lie is a member
of the firm of" Henderson Brothers, who are
interested inthetrnillc of forty vessels be
longing to the Anchor line and several othen.
Theycarried many Italians. He explained
how the ltalian “bankers" and passenger
brokers in America managed things and
Inademoney. They sent orders forpange
ticket to their agents on the Mediterranean
Often when they numbered 300 the agents
chartered n tramp steamer and sent the emi-
grants to this country themselves. His ilrm
did not honor brokers’ orders.
The next witness was John 3]. Kirk. of the
lnman line. That line, he said, carried an
Italians. From Jan. 1, l883, to December
loot 116M!) immigrants were brought to New
York by the lumen line. To his knowledge
not more than ten were poupcrs. One vessel
‘ brought thirty “asaistol cmigmntx” from
Inland.
The witness was prmd to tell if his com-
pany would sell 500 tickets in one batch, and
after considerable fencing he reluctantly
laid: "We could not‘refuse."
The paleoger agent of the Red Star line,
Arthur lederer, was then put on the griddle.
,Hisehipa ply between this port and Antwerp
and they have carried 125.0% immigrants to
the United States since Jan. 1, low}.
The courtly Louis De Bcbiau, of the
French Tmnsatlantiqne line, was sworn
next. The immigrants who came on the
French steamers were mainly Swedes. ital-
llmnrely patronized the line; it was too
Nah ’
“We issue no blank tickets,” he said;
“agents mint pay us for them. We sell very
few prepaid tickets and do not sell tickets in
blocks”
Thenext witness was Alexander M. [In
derhill, agent for the Onion line.
Since January, 1883, the company has
brought 100,000 immigrants to the -Unlled
Staten. Mr. Underhill said he gave blank
ticket! only in limited quanties to agents.
“Would you give more!"
"We would give 1,000,000 tickets if we got
the money for them," replied the witnm
‘ we sent back several young women
who had no husbands and who were likely to
bestow public burden: They came right
back by another line."

it was decided by a unanimous vote

Therein no longer any reason to doubt
that Chief Arthur was not consulted in re

weary with the long fight, which promised
to be soon hopefully lost to them, took metr-

upon a plan of action
AFFAIRS OF THE NATION.
Decision of the lntentate Commerce
Co-mlulon Against a Railroad of In-
terest to Shippera.
Wasuxsorox, July '26.~—'1'he interstate
commerce commission hm decided the fol-
lowing cases: John Henry Nicolai vs. the
Penmyb’ania Railroad company and others
and J. l’arkhurst, Jr., & Co. vs. the same
defendantl Opinion by Commissioner Mor’
risen. Complainants do business as oil re
liners at Baltimore. It was complained that
the railroad charged fifty cents per barrel
for the transportation of the crude oil from
Washington Pa, to Baltimore, while from
Brndi'onl and Clarendon, Pa, and Glenn, N.
Y., to Baltimore, about the same distance as
Washington, l’a., from Baltimore, the charge
is but forty cents per barrel. It was" shown
that defendants by agreement operate as a
through line and make joint rates, which
govem through trnfllc. The comm'mion de—
cides that a carrier, party to a through line,
cannot free itself from the responsibility of
excessive through rates by setting up the
corporate existence of one of the railroads
forming the through line as a nepmaie car-
rier. it is hold also that the apportionment
of rates to different parks of a through line
does not determine the charge to the public,
but may have significance on the question of
reasonable rates for the “hole distance. The
railroads are ordered not to charge more
than forty cents per barrel on crude oil from
Washington, Pa, to Baltimore.
