HEARING ON THE ANTI-SCALPER BILL loaKo 31 mi XniitcH ItnllroiitlM with 'Whom lit ; llnx Doiiu IliiNl. UOHM Direct VIcivH of Triivuliii ; ; Men. WASHINGTON , Jan. 15. The senate com mittee ; on Interstate commerce this morning at 10:45 : resumed Its hearing on the autl- ecalplng hill. Pending the resumption oC the testimony ot Ocorge 31. MnKenzlo ot Chicago , a statement was submitted to the committee by Uort W. Lyon , editor ot the Commercial Traveller of St. Ix > uls. Mr. Lyoa said that P. J. Fceloy ot Chicago and J ? . 13. Dow ol Now York did not represent Uio 350,000 traveling salesmen of the coun try. While ho did not desire to bo under- u'ood ' as claiming to represent all of the commercial travelers of the country , he was absolutely satisfied that the great ma jor Itof these travelers wore In favor of the pending hill. Ho thought It absurd to suppose , as Messrs. Dow and Fceloy would liavo the committee to suupose , that the hundreds of thousands of commercial trav eler. ) could not make araigements with the railroads ns favorable to themselves as the few thousand tlclcet brok ers could make for them. If It twora not for the severe restrictions iilaccd by the railroads upon local rates , made necessary by the business ot the ticket brokers , It would ho possjblo for commercial travelers to innko much better arrangements for their transportation than they are now nblo to make. Mr. Lyon held that as a bus iness proposition the railroads could afford to sull transportation In largo Quantities at a lower rate than they could neil small Quantities. Ho held , therefore , that the commercial traveler who' was 05 the rail- CATARRHAL HEADACHE , More Of ( on tilt * KllfC't of Trrntiiicnt Than of DlNi'imc. Cnu Only litlt llv 'il liy lloillly Ural.

DOBS DUSINESS WITH RAILROADS. Mr. McKcnzlc. the Chicago ticket broker , then resumed his testimony. Ho presented affidavits from various ticket brokers In Chicago , St. Louis , Hoston , Louisville and other cities , setting forth that they had purchased tickets directly from the author ized agents ot railroads and In some cases re ceiving commission tliereon. In rebt'onao ' to Inquiries by Senator Cullom , Mr. McKcuzle named among the lines with which he had done business in Chicago thoj nig Four , Chicago & Great Western , Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy , Chicago & Alton , Union Pacific. Monon Route. Wisconsin Central , Canadian Pacific and Rock Island. Ho was unable to afford the committee details and particulars concerning the business done with these Hues. Senator Blklns inquired what the annual volume of Mr. McKcnzlo'e business was and ho replied Wiat it aggregated last year $000,000. "No wonder you are malting a fight igalust this bill , " eald Mr. Ellclns. The questioning of Mr. McKenrio brought out the statement that the bulk of his business was done over the weak lines. Ho talil that iio could do little business with tlio Canadian Pacific because a law of Canada prohibited brokerage In railroad tickets within the lim its of tbo Daniinlon. Mr. McKenzlo did not say that ho himself had received commis sions from Hio railroads for the sale of tick ets , but ho presented statements from ot'at.1 brokers that they had been paid commlwlons from various railroads. Upon mileage books no commission wan ever paid by the railroads , the brokers hav ing to pay as much for the books as anybody else. TILLMAX WANTS PROOF. Senator Tillman asked sharply : "Can't you produce some absolute proof In the shape of cancelled checks , or some oilier kind , that these railroad men who have appeared have Hod ? That's what we are trying to get at. " Mr. McKenzlo then submitted some further statements of brokers , a few of which had attached to them cancelled checks. "Can you state , " Inquired Senator Cul lom , "wfiat lines glvo you personally com missions ? " "I liavo been liere several weeks , " replied Mr , McKcnzle"and I can't say what ? lie exact conditions In my olllce now arc. " "Well , don't you know , " persisted Mr. Cul- lorn "what Is being done In your office In Chicago whether or not you are getting commissions ? " "I really cannot ray , " was Mr. McKcnzle s reply. "Whether my office Is now receiving commissions from railroads or not. " Mr. McKenzlo says that since the present discussion was opened some of 'the ' railroads had withdrawn their business from the brokers. When pressed for the namca of the lines ho named only the Wisconsin Central , He admitted that ho wa > ] not doing business , and had not been for a long time , with he Pennsylvania , the Daltlmoro & Ohio and other lines. "Do you , as .brokers , " Inquired Senator Cullom , "pay heed to the state law requir ing that railroad tickets shall not bo sold except by authorized agents of the rail roads ? " "Wo py no attention to 'that law , " re plied Mr. McKenzie. "Why ? " asked Mr. Cullom. "Wo don't think it Is a good law , " wns the answer. "Well , " said Mr. Cul'om , "wo should Imvc a queer condition of affairs If all people should proceed on that plan. What explana tion have you to offer on that point ? " Mr. McKenzlo Bild that It seemed to be the result of public opinion regarding the law. "You say , " said Senator Klklns , "that In ISOt you did a business aggregating $ CC- 000 , now what was your profit on that bus iness ? " BUSINESS IS PROFITABLE. "I will say , " said Mr. McKonzlo. "that lo that year wo my partner and I had five officer. Our aggregate- business was $1- 380,009 , and our net profits about $37.000. " This concluded Mr , McKenzle's testimony and Senator Cullom called upon K , A , Ford , general pa nger agent of the Peonoylv nla I'aes west of Plttsburg , who was present. Mr. Ford said bo would bo glad It the com mittee would ffrant klai a UUIo time la to prepare his statement. To this request the committee agreed. In the course of Mr. McKenzlo's statement , ho had presented to the committee certain "pasters" which the brokers had used to extend the time of limited tickets purchased ofl the Wabash road , the pasters bearing the name of George II. Daniels , now general pas- sringer agent of the New York Central road , who was a1 one time the general ticket agent of 'he Wrba.sn. Mr. Daniels desired to tfter a brief explana- tlan of that statement. Ho said that durln ? the t'lmo ' ho nas tbo general ticket agent of m the Wabosh system ho had reprinted the entire - tire stock of pafscmgcr tickets of its lines at a cost of $25,000. Ho explained 'that ' tihe pasters preaented by > Mr. McKenzlo were used by 'tho road In the making cut of limited tickets for the convenience of the Wabash agents andi not for scalpers. "Tho particular pasters presented by Qlr. McKcnrle , " said ! Mr. Daniels , "wero used several years after I had severed my con nection with the Wabash system. It Is likely that nwny of the tickets oven now being sold by the Wabash bear my name. I desire to say as emphatically as I can that I never bid any connection with ticket scalp ers , have never broken a rate agreement and have never soldi tickets to anybody over any line with which I was connected for less than the regular rate. " The committee then adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. TO iiti'.sii TIII : jiuii.ni.vn. ( Jovcriiinciil Strncdiri' nt ( lie K\JIOM- 'Hnii lo lie KJnlxlKMl , WASHINGTON , Jan. 1C. ( Special Tele gram. ) Supervising Architect Taylor , In a letter to Congressman 'Mercer ' states that ho has Informed the contractor on the gov ernment building at Omaha that he must comply with the olght-hour law and push the building to completion as rapidly 03 possible. A committee from the Philatelic society of Washington presented a. protest against the special Issue of commemorative postage stamps at the Omaha exposition to the Post- olllco department today. The committee submitted ccttaln extracts from philatelic papers and gave reasons why they should not bo Issued. Secretary Wilson Is greatly elated over the reports which ho has Just received of experiments which have been conducted dur ing tbo last summer in Page county , Iowa , for the purpose of stamping out hog cholera , "Experiments conducted In Iowa have dem onstrated beyond a doubt that the Innocu- lation process promises a remedy for thlj dlueato among hogs which had been of such great detriment to farmers of the west , " said Mr. Wilson to The Hoe representative today , "Eighty-two per cent of all hogs Innoculated have recovered from the ills- ea.se , while 85 per cent of these stricken upon which the experiment of Innoculatlon was not trlod have died. Wo have no doubt that In another year's work1wo can so Im prove methods as to aavo at least 90 per cent. " Secretory Wilson said today that ho ex pects Inspection service to ho Installed In Sioux City next week. Ordorn have been sent to South Omalu for a supply of labels and other necessary furnishings and an Inspector specter will ho designated to proceed to Sioux City within a few days. The service will start with three mlcroscopists. Itcdiln I he IiiNiiranre I.mv. WASHINGTON , Jan. IB.

Opponent * of Prt'ttvnt I.mv Cant Up Tlit-tr StroiiKth. WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. The canvass of republican members of the house of rep resentatives on the question ot changing the civil service law. Which has boon con ducted by the republican steering committee , Is about completed. Of the 202 republican members of the hou c the canvass Is said to show that a majority varying from eighteen to forty Is favorable to a change In the law according to ithe degree of change proposed. This last factor leads to some differences of opinion as to the result ot the canvass. Rep resentative Pearson of North Carolina , a member of the committee , places the number of republicans who can bo depended on at 112. 112.Another Another member of the commltteo places the number at 135. Tlioso who have made the canvass say that In a number of oases entire aiato delegations are shown by the canvass to favor a change In the law , notably North Carolina , Tennessee , Kentucky , West Virginia and New Hampshire. The Minnesota seta count shows all but one for a change ; Michigan all but two ; in Pennsylvania twenty-two out of twenty-seven republican members are counted In the canvass for a change In the law. Beyond completing the canvass tbo opposition to the civil service law Is taking no active steps for the present , the purpose being to wait until tfoo regular civil service committee of the liouau takes action on the bill before it proposes a modi fication of tbo law.

Attorney General McKenna has sent to congress through the treasury a recommendation for urgent de- llcloncy appropriations for tlio United States courts aggregating over $500,000. The principal item called for Is $100.000 to establish and erect United States Jails In the northern , central and southern districts of the Indian Territory at Muskogee , JIcAlester aud Ardmoro respectively , and Incidental purposes. The attorney general says It Is apparent that the buildings now utilized as Jails there are far from satisfactory nnd com plaints duo to their utter unfllness are con stantly arising. There are no buildings In the territory possessing even to a remote extent these qualifications which -would render them suitable for the detention nnd safekeeping of prisoners , according to the attorney general , and the cfforst of the de partment to have properly equipped build ings erected by residents of the territory have been ineffectual.
