CHICAGO , April 80. I
A work which will create much discussion
n the railway world was sent to tlio press
oday by A. B. Stlcknoy , chairman of the
lonrd of directors of the Chicago , St. Paul
i Kansas City railway. II Is cnlllled , "Tlio
tallnay Problem , " and discusses all Iho 1m-
lortnnt phases of railway building nnd opor-
, tlon. His views regarding state conlrol of
allways are so radical that they will cause
vidcspread criticism among the railway
ratornlty. lie says :
"Tho best opinions and the soundest rca-
.oninp . regard the construction of modern
'allways ' as a sovereign function , and wlicro
hey nro built by corporations the companies
are exorcising , under a license , n function
md prerogative which belongs exclusively to
, ho state. "
Speaking of the granger laws , Mr. Stlck
noy says : "Tho uprising of the people of tlio
vcstcru stales which is now being considered
vns not ngainst tno aggregate amount ot the
rates which were being collected by the rail
roads , but against the discrimination they
were practicing in collecting their revenues. "
Mr. Sticknoy prescribes the following to
secure the enforcement of rates : "Clearly.if
ho government would enforce its laws
ngainst the railway companies , Its chief ox-
ecutlvo ofllcer who has charge of this do-
inrtment , whenever ho becomes satisllcd
: hat any management is persistently dis
obeying the laws , should Imvo the power to
lake possession of the property and mnuago
, t through the intervention of n receiver or
otherwise until ho can have satisfactory as
surances that the laws thereafter
will bo obeyed. The enactment of n law giv-
ng this power would probably bo effective to
prevent discriminations and other violations
) t Iho law without being notunlly set iu mo-
.lon , Such a law , if enforced , would roach
the real culprits where lines nnd penalties
reach only their representatives and em
ployes. During the four years that the inter
state law has been In existence , who has been

Secretary Foster Taking Decided
Steps to Stop It.
WAsmxriTox , April 0. [ Special Telegram
to Tun BII\ : | Decided slops are being taken
by Secretary Foster to stop the Influx of for
eign paupers and criminals dcspilo several
defects of the now immigration law whlcn
were regarded as making it practically iuop-
cmlivo. The author , Mr. Owen of Indiana ,
inserted a provision that ( hero should bo u
superintendent of immigration at a salary of
f5,000 , which was reduced by the house to
$4,000 , but while thus fixing what the salary
of Ibis officer should bo tlio act f.illu.l t
specially appropriate Iho ? l,000 necessary t
meet the demand. Attorney General Miller
has therefore ruled that the ofllco of superin
tendent of Immigration cannot bo illlod , as
there is no way of paying his
salary and an appropriation cannot bo
anticipated. It appeared to put an end to enforcing -
forcing the law , for Iho entire theory of it
was that the superintendent was the special
ofllcer to execute the law. The error was
considered specially serious , as liie next
house of representatives , bning democratic ,
would not bo likely to lomedy the mistake M >
that n republican administintion could ap
point n republican. Under these circum
stances it bus been feared by the treasury de
partment that there could bo no means of
damming up the tide 01 pauper nnd criminal
immigration which is ( lowing into this coun
try. But Secretary Foster has concluded to
tnko the olNce of superintendent of Immigra
tion upon his own shoulders by having the
lorms of tlio law executed without the Inter
vention of this special olllcor and his
immigration inspectors. Yesterday the
secretary made ills m-it ruling under
Iho law and it sols Iho precedent whlcli will
bo followed in n general policy of exclusion.
The Nordculichor Loyd steamshln company
recently landed Josef Piusokl in New t orK.
Ho was u cripple und so deformed that Itwa-s
evident ho could not earn u living. Ho had
uo money nnd no friends. Secretary Foster
thought this would bo n good case to bogln
on and ho therefore ruled that the penniless
cripple would have to bo returned to Ger
many at the expense of the steamship com
pany unless Iho company furnished a $ JOOt)0 )
bond that Piasoki would never become > .
public chnrgo. Tills was practically an nbso-
lulo decision of exclusion , for the company
of course will not give such n heavy bond In
the case of n pauper cripple.
Assistant Secretary Spalding , whojlms spc-
rialc' argo of thcsoln migration subjec.s , ca C
ted ly that the ( tcar.ini-nt | would presume
that crippled or deformed Immigrants wojld
be unublo to earn their own living and would
eventually become public charges. The bonds
exacted from the stcsmihlp company would
ho EO high ( hit they would rofusu to bacomo
surotloi for this pauper cltsi nnd would do-
clluo to bring them hero when they know
this country would not r cclvo them without
the bond.
Assistnnt Secretary Ncttlelon bus gene to
Now YorU to muko further i rrangements to
( nrry oul Secretary Foster's plan of stoiipl g
the iintr.i/ratloi ; . Although the law is Inoperative -
operative so fur us crealing a superintendent
ot Immigration is conccincd , It has many
stringent features winch the secretary will
now execute. Ono of these provides
that no s'onnililp or transportation
company shall directly or through
cither by writing , printing or oral rcpro on-
tatlons solicit or encourage the immigration
of any alien into the United States except by
the ordinary steamship advertisements and
circulars staling Iho saillnc dales ot their
vessels nnd the terms and facilities of trans-
portation. Immigrants who are excluded by
the terms of the law nan bo con' , back at tbo
expense of the steamship bringing thtra , and
ho officers of the steamship nro doomed
tultty of a mlsdompiinor If they decline to
.ako back the excluded Immigrants. Soero-
.ary Foster's ruling In the Pinsokl cnso yes-
: erduy puts In operation nil the features of
the now law except that of the appointment
ot superintendent.
