TOO MUOH POWER TO OOMMIS-' SION. . . The Hepburn Rate -Bill Gives Rail road Oommission Power to Dis criminate in Favor Northern Ports. ' Special cor. Herald and Nlews. %shi'ngton, Nv. 12.-When Seti ators and Representatives fromn the Southern States advocated and voted f for the Hepborn railroad rate la*'It was with. the expectation that 'the r Interstate Commerce Commission would exercise its discretionary pow. ers as to. the filing and posting of rates so~ns to permit the railroads of the South to eqqalize export rates through Southern ports with those through Northern ports, thus giving the cottoki planter the benefit of com petition between buyers and carrieri. It was the general understanding that this discretion was conferred on the Commission for the purpose of enabling it to except export cotton rates from the general provision of the law for thirty days' notice of -a change in rates, on account of the peculiar conditions affecting the Cx yort cottoni business of the Southern ports. At the solicitation of the roads of the South. under the lead of the Southern Railway, the Commission made an order permitting the old practice to continue until November 1. That order uns not been extended and the Commission has no, present purpose of extending it. It is feared that the result will be to greatly in jure the exp31rt buiness of the South ern ports and to favor those of the North Atlantic, especially New York. If this is the case it .will be pointed to as an illustration of the danger of conferring on a political commission at Washington power to divert com merce from the section of the eoui try to another, a power which some of the advocates of the Hepburn law contended was not contained in it, but which seems to b there to some ex tent at least. While the Southern railways have not succeeded in having the export cotton order made permanent they have secured a ruling from the'Isth imian Canal Commission that will be of some advantage to the Gulf and U South Atlantic ports and of Southern manufacturers and merchants hand ling goods and supplies needed on the isthmus. Heretofore all contracts for such goods have given the contractors the privilege of shipping to Celon from New York by the steamer own led by the government at half the re gular rate. The effect of this has ff been to discriminate in favor of New York as the port of shipment and it, tI' favor of the manufacturers and mer- If chants of that place. Hereafter this bi provision will be omitted from the n contracts and Southern business men f will hiave an opportunity to conimpete. tl it is reported in Washington that. twvo Lancashire eot ton manufacturers wvill arrive in the United States with- g in a few wveeks to arrange for, the ~ purchase and managememyt of a large a cotton plantationi at some point in the ei South. They are said to be back- a ed with ample cap)ital and if they are -succeeful other Lancashire mill own-- ' ers will followv their example. Theirr plan is to adopt the most improved ,h methods of cultivation, ginning, and C baling and to ship the cotton direct b to -their own mills. One of their ob- b jects is to give to ginners in the a Southern States an object lesson as toteporbaigfctons ast insure its arrival at the mills in good b order. It is also reported that sever, a al memibers of the British Cotton 0 Growing Association and forty repre- P entatives of British~ cotton spinners c will visit the West Indies in Decem- 0 ber for the purpose of taking steps to C encourage the growing of cotton in C these islands.
