Spbingfield, 111., Jan. 2:.—Ex-Con gressman William E. Mason was nom inated for United States Senator at the Republican joint caucus last night, after one of the most bitterly fought battles in the history of the Republic an party in Illinois. Although he had been canvassing the state as a sena torial candidate for two years, Mr. Mason’s selection was regard ed by ‘'machine" politicians as an Impossibility up to within two hours of the time of his triumphant and unanimous nomination, the choice being the result of the sudden with drawal from the race of Congressman Wiliam Lorlmcr, who had held the almost solid vote of Chicago and Cook county. The contest has been so long drawn out and the battle so fierce that the legislators were In a mood to be stampeded at any moment aB the hour for the caucus drew near and the sud den shifting of the Cook codnty forces to Mason carried the delegates off their feet.

"It is with much gratification that 1 have concluded a treaty for general arbitration with the president of the United States, . whereby I trust all differences which may arise between us. will be peacefully adjusted.

Sometimes, REGARDING PASSENGER RATES Decision of tbe Illinois Bailrosd and Warehouse Commissioners. ' In the matter of the communication cf the secretary of the state grange of Illinois dated Jan. 1,1897, embodying a % resolution of that body adopted at its ’ December meeting, 1896, asking the i board of railroad and warehouse com missioners to reduce the passenger rate from three (3) cents to two (2) cents per mile, the commission is of the opinion that to do so at this, time would be unwise and unwarranfed and would be unjust to the railroad inter est of the state. While some of the' great trunk lines in Illinois might be able to stand such a reduction, yet the smaller roads, and those which do almost wholly a local business, and which are now and have been for the last two yearn struggling for exist ence, would be most seriously affected by it. Such action on bur part would sim ply increase the heavy burdens under which they are staggering now. It is a well-known fact to those who have taken the trouble to investigate the amount of passenger business done by the railrbads in Illinois during the past two years that there has been a large decrease in the number of passengers carried. This is due in our judgment * not to the amount charged for such service but to the general depression in ail lines of business, the low prices of farm products and the unsettled financial conditions which have had their effect on the passenger as well es the freight business. And it is also a fact, as shown by the sworn reports of the railroads of Illi nois that the capital Invested in such property has not paid even a fair in-'“ terest to the stockholder. This ques tion was before us when we revised the freight schedule in 1S95, and thw whole question was thoroughly con sidered. We did not think then and neither do we feel now that in justice to both the public and the railroads, because each should stand on the same equality before the law, this reduction should be made at this time. If the < country was prosperous our conclu sions might be different. The statistics in our office show that for the past three years, 1894, 1895 and 1896, the average amount charged by the railroads per passenger mile is a fraction above t\Vo cents, although the maximum allowed them was three cents. For the reasons above stated we do " not feel that this reduction should be made at this time. We are also asked to recommend this reduction to the legislature. In view of our conclusion we do not feel that it would be con sistent for us to do so; however, the ' legislature has the power to regulate the maximum rate which can be ■ charged for passenger service and we leave the matter to their wisdom.
