Ttallroatl Rate Legislation.
Testifying before tbe Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said ii
discussing the proposition to give tha
commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
"I think the railways should mak<
their own rates. I think They shoult
be allowed ;o develop their own busi
11 ess. I have never advocated anj
law, and I am not now in favor of anj
law, which would put the rate niakinj
power into*the hands of any comuiis
sion or any court. While it may b<
necessary to do that some time, whil<
that is done in some States at tin
present time, while it is done in sonn
countries, I am opposed to it. Tin
railway rate is property. It is all tin
p^perty that the railway has got. Th<
rest of its property is not good foi
anything unless it can charge a rate
Now it has always seemed to me thai
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pre
tanto. It is not necessary that yoi
should confiscate the property of i
railroad; it is not necessary that yoi
should say that it shall not earn tbre<
per cent, or four per cent. When yoi
put in a rate that is inherently un
reasonable, you have deprived tba'
company of its rights, of l!s property
and the Circuit Court of the TTnitec
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. ]
have looked at these cases a grea
many times, and I can only come to the
conclusion that a railroad company i<
entitled to charge a fair and reasonabh
rate, and if any order of a commission
if any statute of a State Legislature
takes away that rate, the fourteentl
amendment protects the railway com
pany."

Toki?, Japan?A Japanese officer t
Who has returned to Sasebo, gives the o
following account of the sea fight off
the Tsu Islands:
"At half-past five on Saturday morn- t
ing a wireless message reading 'The a
enemy's squadron is in sight' reached s
the naval base. This message was ?
transmitted to all our ships by the flagship,
with instructions to get ready for a
action. Our" squadron left their ren- g
dezvous and headed for the eastern b
channel off Tsushima. 0
"When Tsushima was sighted to the \
southwest the sea was rough and the p
torpedo boats were forced to run for
the shelter of the island- Our third
fighting squadron with the Takashiho
to port reconnoitered the Russian tl
course, and at half-past eleven a. m. a
informed the main squadron by wire- ^
less telegram that the Russian ships ^
were passing into the east channel, C
-whereupon our main squadron, chang- f(
ing its course somewhat to the south- ^
ward, came in sigkt of Okinoshima at e
one o'clock in the afternoon. The third a
division arrived later and joined the C(
main squadron. The first and second ?
divisions, accompanied by the destroyer
flotilla, changed to a westerly -r
course, while the third division and
the fourth destroyer flotilla headed n
slightly eastward. s,
"During the maneuvre the Russian 0,
flagship appeared to the southward at cj
1.43 o'clock. The Russians steamed up n
in double column. The fleet was nu- p
merous, but no living being was visible.
The Russian ships seemed to be in
good order. Our ships hoisted the flag
of action, the Mikasa signalling?'The e,
destiny of our empire depends upon 0'
tnis action, iou are an expected to j
do your utmost.' Our men seemed to a.
silently "weigh the significance of this y
signal. e(
"Our first and second divisions turned jr
to the Russian's starboard, while the jj
third division kept in close touch with Cj
the preceding two divisions. With the f,
Japanese ships proceeding in this order ^
it was thirteen minutes after two 8]
o'clock when the Russians opened fire.
The first two shots fell short of our 8(
line and it was some minutes later
before we commenced firing. Then s.
the battle was on, with firing from rj
both sides. Our destroyers kept on the p
port side of the main squadron, and in ^
this formation we pressed the Russians sj
against the coast of Kiushiu and they r(
were obliged to change their course to ?
the east. p
"We so maneuvred our ships as to ^
have their bows parallel to the north
side of the Russian line. The Mikasa, r(
of our first division, which had been S)
lending, changed to the rear of the line. jp
while the Kasuga headed the line. The
engagement now became very fierce.
The Borodino was seen to be on fire.
.Enveloping the Kmslans. ^
"A little later the Russians headed ^
west and we changed our course ac- w
cordingly. Five ships of our second dl- ?
vision concentrated their fire on the si
Borodino. Our first first division now p
began firing vigorously, proceeding a
parallel with the Russian line, and as tl
we began to press against the head of
the Russian line our third division a,
veered to the Russian rear, thus envel- jj
opins their ships. a
"Xiie engagement proceeueu nouy. <j
Our second division followed a course j?
parallel with the northern side of the
Russians, and this movement complet- 0
ed the envelopment Tly Russian ships y
were seen trying to break through and a,
our destroyer flotilla intercepted their
new course. This state of envelopment
continued until the following day, with g
tlie ships at varying distances. Thus, p
enclosed on all sides.the Russians were
helpless and powerless to escape the h
circle. t<
"Previous instructions had been tj
given the destroyers and torpedo boats Si
to attack the Russian ships. Follow- a
ing instructions, the fifth destroyer flo- s]
tilla advanced against a Russian ship, ^
upon which the second division had
been concentrating its fire, signalling, a
'We are going to give the last thrust p
at them.' f(

and seeing the approaching torpedo fl
boats directed its fire on them. Un- o

Christiana, Norway.?The Stortbing
declared the union between Norway v<
iirl Sn-orton unHoi* mil) Iriurr rl vpd
...... f?
and that the King had ceased to act as a(
King of Norway. The Storthing further
empowered the present State p<
Council to act as a Government of Nor- ui
of
way. until further notice, and to exercise
the power heretofore appertaining
to the King. This action was a sequel
to King Oscar's refusal to sanction the
bill passed by the Storthing providing !u
for a separate consular service for Nor- al
a*
way. ...
An address to the King was adopted. *u
declaring that no ill-feeling was enter- J?
tained against him, his dynasty, or tlie j
Swedish nation, and asking him to tooperate
in the selection of a young **
prince of the house of Bernadotte to y
occupy the throne of Norway. J1'
At the opening of the session the 03
Government informed the Storthing as
that it relinquished office. Tlie Storth P'
ing thereupon and without debate ^
passed an address to the King here- ^
with given in part as follows: - s'
"Your Majesty ? Whereas, all the
members of the Council of State have
laid down their offices.
Whereas. His Majesty, the King, has bj
declared himself unable to establish a ca
new government lur me rummj, ?iju 0I
"Whereas, The constitutional regal ju
power thus becomes inoperative, w
"The Storthing authorizes the mem- ar
bers of the Council of Slate who re* Uf
tired to exercise until further notice, ja
as the Norwegian Government, the he
power appertaining to the King, in ac- th
cordance with Norway's Constitution
and existing laws, with those changes g
which are necessitated by the fact that m
the union with Sweden under one king gj
is dissolved in consequence of the g(
King having ceased to act as a Norwegian
King, '
"The course of developments which ^
hr.ve proved more powerful than the "
desire and will of individuals has led
to this result. The union entered upon w<
in 1S14 has from the first hour been to
differently interpreted by the two na- 50
tions, both with regard to its spirit and
letter. Efforts have been made on the ;h
Swedish side to extend the union and u
on the Norwegian side to confine it to a.1
the limit laid down by the Act of
Union, and otherwise to assert the in- ?0
dependent power of toth States in all ^
matters not defined in that act as com- q
ing under the union. The difference of '
principle in the interpretation of the ..
character of the union has provoked
much misunderstanding between the J1?
two peoples and has caused much ^
friction in the interpretation, which.*
during the recent negotiations netween
the two countries has been laid down to
by Sweden as against Norway."
After the Storthing had adopted the
resolution President Beruier. in a short
speech, emphasized the serious impor- th
tnncewjf the step taken, and concluded lij
with saying: "May God protect the he
Fatherland!" The whole assembly
joined in the president's devout wish, qj
M. Michelsen. the retiring premier, pr
accepted, in behalf of the Government, ()r
the "honorable and difficult task with f,.
which the Storthing had entrusted it."
Five Social Democrats dissented ,u
from the address to the King.
Although the action of the Storthing ,
was anticipated, it caused considerable '
excitement in this city on account of v |
the anxiety as to what the King would
do. The crisis became acute on May ^
20. when, after three months' rest, dur- W
ing which the regency was confided to ^
Crown Prince Gustave. he resumed the
reins of office. The Council of State ?c
immediately submitted to him the con- D;
sular bill, which on May 28 he refused lie
to sanction, arguing that any action w
must receive the sanction of the mixed w
council. The Norwegian Council of
State thereupon resigned, and the
King refused to accept their resignations.
