The Secretary saw na r?aon wlr
a tribunal jirotwrly cons' f acted bIiouI
not bi competent in every sense f'
the word to fix tha piaximtm rata.
Fish Answers Taft.
President Stuyvesant Fish,' of th
Amer can Railway Association, had ir
troduced Secretary Tart. In his c
paclly as toast master, Fish was o
bis feet the instant, the secretary cor
eluded. He answered the y?cretar
at length, inking the view that th
law to prevent (liscritiina'i'n, doubl
lening and secret rebates, was amp'
and he vigo-ously cal'-l f -r enforc
liipnt of that law.' Flfch tallied of th
vested r'ghts of money tied up i'
railways.
Taft's Rejoinder.
He apologized for allowing himsel
to be diverted, and as he sat dowi
Taft, who sar next, to him, queried i'
a low tone. "May I have lief teen mit
iites to reply?" . -
This time was given., and the secre
tary utilized it in mak ng himself eve-
more, pos'tive as to his posuon u
favor of legislation which wou'd cr
ate a tribunal with authority to nam
maximum rate. "The law now is,
ront nued the secretary, "as decide
by the Supreme court of th5 Unite
States, that nrst a commission nm
then the courts may decide whether a
particular rate is reasonable or un
reasonable. Now in fix ng that rate
in the very mantal process In determ
ining wnether a rate is reasonable or
unreasonable, one has got to fix wha'
is the maximum rate.
What is Proposed.
"As 1 understand it, what la pro
posed Is only that, in litigated( casjs,
a commission shall be consMtutad tha
Bhall fix the maximum rate; la otne
r words, to go through the same pro
cess it now goes through to de'.erm nr
what is a reasonable rate. What I am
strongly in favor of, though- is that
we shall have a body that shall decide
things and that those tilings shall he
, decided within a reasonable time
finally by the courts."
Fish aga'n took up the argument
."contending that it. was a 'question of
fix rg the price for the seller or goods.

pecial to The Bulletin.
Alto Pass 111., May 9. Makanda, a
illago eight. m:ie east of this city,
as just become a dry town in a most.
mtiHual manner. Afetr tho recent
nmicipal ebcti n the village board
;tood three for saloons and three
'gainst, with the president on the sa
oon side, which would have given
he town saloons again, as the presi-
ent has a vote In case of a tie. At
heir meeting one of the saloon advo
cate.? was absent, and the temperance
3!de had a majority. The strange
)art of it. is that the absent member
was taken violently ill in the evening
of the day of meeting. The next day a
well known minister in the village in
timated that the man's sickness was
not entirely Providential, but. was due
to premeditated plana concurred in by
tho.man himself.

For the latest newt ot the day
you will find it In the Bulletin,
B. Eddy, general agent of the United
Slates express company, said that at
ter the commenceoient of the strike
against, the express eompanle', ho
held a meet ng with CornelltiS P. Shea
J, B. Barry and Hugh McGee, of the
Teamster:;' union. Harry suggested
that Inasmuch as only 37 men had
voted for a strike out of the 700 In
Rear Adm ral Charles H. Davis,
b wa and Va sachusctts have
totinagi and les .horse, put tu
nny ship in the first division.
' No Jockeying at the Start.
P.cfore 9 o'clock Saturday uiorning
thu bin ships began ti draw abreast,
nnd at exactly 9 the fctenal for the
! larf'wsa given from the flagship. '
The fi st hour was designated tn
rest the siioothness of the machinery
rather than to attain a high speed.
From 9 to 9: SO o'clock the ships pro-
cet'del at twelve knots, and at 10
'.'clncl they were permitted to go
ahet4 at tall (.peed with natural draft.
When the real race began the M.s
ovul drew nheud rapidly from the
,Manj;.t('hi:Ke.' Is, Iowa and AiaMre i,

was superior', for it has a slightly
greater displacement .than- tho other
and In the official tr al made nn av
erage of 18 3 knots to 1S.2 for tho Mis
sour'.. .
Missouri Surprises All.
The Missouri, however, upset the
trial figures when well goliisj irndi r
forced draft, and showed tho ilig-il.ip
so clean a pair of heels that there re
mained no question of its superiority.
From 12 to o'clock the battleships
became widl s'rung out in th order in
which they finished. Much more than
it showed was expected for the Ala
bama, i apposed by every one in the
navy to he fleeter than the Massachu
setts and lawn, the only ships in the
squadron completed before tin war
with Spain, These vetetaus beat the
newer ship easily. -
At no time,1 so it was said on the
Alabama today, did 1t develop mere
than thirteen knots, its officers r.ald
that the hone power was up to the
