I The Interstate Commerce commission met Rat tno federal building yesterday and was In Inwslon most of the day without ( reaching drflnlto conclusions on any of tun cases involved. The first loam iiilil was that of A. J.

Judge Morrison was evidently in the dark ns to that which was about to bo turned [ loose ilium the commission and the innocent 1 spectators and attorneys who had gathered I 1o hear tlio case presented. Nothing In the I history of the federal building lias ever i Ijci n hnnnl that would com para for a mo- iiimi wi-ii the cataclysm of vitriolic oratory ; that Mr dustlu poured into the ears i of the r.ininissloncrs . against the greedy , Grasping1 railroad ixunpanica. [ * ( instill HlH Onti l.tuvyor. I ' 1 he matter that had found its inception in Mr fiUH'ms active brain was arranged tilling tw > distinct lines of battle. Ono prc- l scntcd th < > historical attitude of tlio railroad ' Jnlcrcsis toward the people , while the other f , Jiri'si'iiti'd tln > comniprcial status of tlio case : us vlowol by Mr. Ctiistin. Ho ripped up the tii'ams of history and laid liaro many of the loiiilimr ort'iita In the progress of the coun- tr.v all HIP wa.v from the landing of Colum- lius doxvn to the iirescnt timo. llo soared nroiind among the s'liibcams and the clouds in ties , ribine the fertility of the country , nnd when it came to the horrors that ho saw Jj int' IUTOSS the path of the country's prepress press in case the pnaent railroad rates con tinue to pi-oval ! ho became very earnest. Now ami then , however , ho lodged a pretty veil directed blow. When ho llnally got down to business ho called as the first witness in the case Mr. .1. 11 Ixjthrop. manager of tlio Black Hills branch of the Union Paclllc road , for the imrposo of showing the actual cost per mile of constructing the Kearney & Black Hills road Judge Kelley objoctcd to the introduction of this testimony on the ground that the ICearney & lilack Hills line was not the line Implicated in the allegations made in the complaint. Ho hold , finther. Unit the Kear ney & Black Hills road was not completed at the tlmo the charges ngalnst the Union J'arllleworo mado. Mr liuatln held that ho wanted to show by Mr I > athrop what thocostof the Kearney & Black Illlls road was , and ho wanted to show , further , that the Union Pacific com- jinny hud Issued $ GOOlKK ) of Kearney Ac Black llills ro.id bonds to its own stockholders nnd the public had to pay Interest on thcso bonds by pnj ing exorbitant rates on the main line of the Union Pacific. Ho proposed to show that the Union Pacific had built the JUac-k Hills road for at least Sl.OOO.OOO les" than the company claimed to have Invested in It. The main line , ho hold , was burdened with a thousand and ono schemes similar to thia and tin.1 directors were attempting to make the road pay dividends upon millions of dollars not really represented , or Invested in the road. Alrlnc Jlluck lllllH History. Chairman Morrison hold that the testi mony going to show the cost of the Black Hills branch would have but a slight bearing upon the charges at Issue. Mr. Gus- tin was permitted to ask Mr. Loth- rep n number of questions about the Black Hills line , but succeeded in bringing out nothing of much consequence1 , excepting that n majority of the Black Hills road .stock was lield by the Union Pacille stockholders. The commissioners gave Mr. Gustln con siderable latitude , and lie branched off upon cotton rates from the south to Kcarnoy. Attorney Marquette objected to the bring ing ill of matters that wore not spccllled in tlio complaint I Mr Gnstln held that Inasmuch ns ho had i employed the phrase "and ether interstate points , " ho had a right to attack the rates J in vogue to Kcarnoy from any pulnt within f the toirltor.y of the United States , i Chairman Morrison stated that it was the B duty of the commission to take into consid- ? cration all complaints with regard to unjust I or illegal rates , but it had been the custom ji. with the commission to take uu ono or two cases at a time rather than to attack all the j-J tiuds in the country at ono sitting. Ho R therefore requested Mr. Gustln to confine a' liia uvulonco to the charges contained In his M-compl.unt until lie had finished it. K 'I'll11I'd Aliiint Cotton Uiitm. * Mr C.ustm Insisted that ho bo heard on 'f the cotton rates , however , and also re ' } quested the privilege of being sworn and telling what ho knew about the cotton t 'rules. Ho stated , after being sworn , that ; j if the railroads would make the same rate J jior mlle per ton from Fort Worth. Tex. , to f Kearney that now exists between Memphis , Tcnn . the rate for Kearney would bo L'O cents per hundred , whereas it is at present [ 70 cents. I ' Do you think that the road ovsr which j w receive eutton nt Kearney from Fort Worth , Tex . should adopt the same rate per < ' ton per mile as the roads between Memphis , i Tenu .and Boston ( " Inquired Mr. Morrison. I "Yes , sir , I do , " said Mr. Gustin enorgetl- ; cally. i Air Gustln then presented two freight i bills for freight charges upon machinery 4 which had been Hhipped from points in I Illinois to Kearney. Ho held that tlio charges were excessive and illegal. The s lillls of lading wcro .submitted and accepted ? ns dot unioiitary evidence in the case. Mr. 4 Gustin r < sled his case at this point , and the 3 commu.su n took u recess for lunch. B At the afternoon session Attorney Mar ls | uottc. fur the defendants , introduced the j ( iiintml reports of the Burlington and Union 9 Pacific mads for the past six years. Ho said \ that the hchodulo of rates as submitted by r Mr CiusMn was correct. That was all th.it I the defendants cured to submit. The case 5 was closed \\ith the provision tint both Mr. I ( instill uiid the defendants have permission } to submit writtt-n arguments presenting their I respective sulu.-i of the dispute. I'alleil to ( \Vlluos9o9. . J The sivmul ease begun by Mr. Gustin * ngainst the I'nion Pacific and the Southern X I'aelllc mads , in which rates on sugar from 1 western pt ints are made the grounds of co- % plaint was called. Mr. Kelley , as attorney 6 for the Union Pacific and also representing J tlio Southern Pacific , submitted un utllduvlt i Hlgncd by the attorney for the Southern Pa rt cillo btating that it was imitosslblo for the T defendant company to got some very Import- j nut wltnosses to Omalm at this timo. Mr. P Sprcckcls of California Is suld to bo an im- ij portant witness and ho is at present abroad 1 and his testimony cannot bo obtained until S ho returns. W Mr Kelley said that the Union Pacific . ] company had been depending upon the \ Southern Paclllc for a certain line of testi mony that would be of vital interest in the trial ot the case and ItvouU bo impossible for the t'nion Pacific to undertake the case Blnglo handed with anything like a fair chance of getting itl the actual facts. He therefore moved that tlio hoarlng bo con tinued Ho also snidthls road would admit that the rales from the Pacillo coast to Kearney wow higher than from the coast to Omaha , but tins wus forced upon the Union Pacific by watnr competition coming by way of Now Orlciuii and Now York. llnd to Mf.l "Wntcr ItMtKi. " Mr. Gustln asked the commissioners If a railroad company had a right to cut rates to long distance points below these which wcro charged for nhortor hauls simply as u means of computing with water rates. "It has bison held at different times , " ald Chairman Morrison , "that railroads have a right to make special rates to certain points where It Is ncc sary to do so In order to get the business as ngalnst water competition. It has also been held that thn road making such a special rate is not obliged to cut Its entire schedule for the entire line to ngreo with tills special rate ; but thr > rate to other points must be reasonable and just. A railroad company may sco lit to carry goods to n certain point at n very trilling profit simply to get the business as against water competition. It is claimed , for instance , that these roads are obliged to ship sugar to Omaha nt < V > crnta per hundred pounds or lose all of the western business , because sugar is brought around to Now York nnd Now Orleans from thn Paclllc coast and shipped to Omaha from the cast , cutting the rates down to tins low point. " "Why don't the same argument hold good with regard to rates to Kearney ? " asked Mr. Gustin. "Well , that will remain for the evidence in the case to elucidate. " Decided to l'o tponn thn Ga e. The chairman then explained that it would bo a waste of time for the commissioners to proceed with the hearing of the case , ceding that the roads against which the charges had been made were not ready to respond. If the commission should go ahead and hear only ono side of the case the roads might refuse to obey any order that the commission saw lit to issue and then the case would hnvo to go to tlio courts for a Html heariinr. In the courts the railroad companies might introduce a line of testi mony that would alter tlio status of the case materially and the commission might not bo uphold in Its order. For these reasons , Chairman Morrison said , tlio commission had long since become convinced that It was better to have a full and fair hearing of n case before attempting to pass upon it or issue any orders to the railroads implicated. Ho held that it would bo best for Mr. Gustin as well as the railroads against which the irregularities were charged to postpone the hearing until such time as all the parties Interested could bo heard. The ease was therefore postiwned until some future date to bo determined by the com mission. Tliis brought the proceedings of the Omaha session to n close and the commis sioners departed on tlio evening train for St. Louis. I > : : MISI : or .NKIHIASKANS.

[ Special Tele gram to Tun HRK. ] Kccolver Macfiirland of the Capital National bank proposes to test the validity of the thousands of dollars worth of worthless Western Manufacturing company notes sold to various parties by C.
