Ho is slow In movement nnd speech , and only talks when speech is abso lutely necessary. A. F. Wnl'tclJ ' halls from the wooden mit- meg state , and naturally enough flys the colors of the mugwump. Ho is n lawyer of brilliant capabilities , and has had great familiarity with railway matters. Ho Is ro tund , vigorous , smiling , of easy npproacband Ills term on the commission is five years.

The commission was cnga'gcd during the day in hearing the petition of a delegation of Minnesota business men , setting forth their grievances nnd complaints against the Northwestern railroad company , and praying for a reduc tion of tho.dlscrimlnatlng rates through their state in favor of Chicago. The greater part of the day was spent in the examination of witnesses. The last on the stand was Mr. Clark , general freipht agent for the Chlcaeo , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha , who brought out number of papers to show that the schedule of prices asked by the pcooio was untenable. At the conclusion of the testimony the counsel for the opposing parties each inado a Bhort speech. Mr. Burlingham , who opened the argument , stated that the case was in rofercnco to the very treat difference in rates shown to exist along the lines in ques tion. Bo admitted it did not exactly como under the Inter-stato commerce law , but as it belonged to the same class of cases they could properly consider it from that stand point. Mr. Goudy , general solicitor of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha , spoke of the evolution of the Inter-stato com- cerco commission and then of the associa tion bringing the present * suit , claiming that the latter was usurping the prerogatives of the former. The plaintiffs , ho claimed , were n set of men who had not proven that they had ever shipped n pound of freipht. Ho denounced them as intor-mcddlors who did not deserve to bo heard. Ho claimed that the present rates In the complaining region wcro reasonable and proper ; the sparse popula tion , the smallncss and cost of the business , the diniculty of keeping the roads open and the cost of fuel Justified the advance in charges. Colonel Howe , In behalf of the railroad company , said the rates could not bo adjusted liy'any rule in cuclid or any arithmetical operation. It was a matter of business and had to bo treated as such. Mr. BurliiiRham , on behalf of the plain tiffs , claimed that the right of petition ex tended to every person who Knows of any Violation of the law. Of the 105 cases already presented to the commission nineteen wcro by associations similar to the otio ho represented.
