FULTON JOURNEYS FROM NATION'S CAPI TAL TO ENTER HIS NAME ON THE GREAT REGISTER. United States Senator Charles W. Fulton arrived in this, his home city, on the' 11:45 express yesterday morning, from Washington, via Portland, on a very brif and hurried trip, the main purpose of which is to enter his name on the great register of the county a an elector; and incidentally, to attend to some mutters of privae business that demand his immediate attention. He return to the metropolis this evening on the "6:10", and will leave thence for the national capital on Monday next, rushing straight through in order to reach his seat t the earliest possible moment after the opening of Cbngre on Monday next. . ( The Senator, speaking to a reporter of this paper, yesterday, said that Con gress has great masses of work ahead of it and that it will be one of the busiest sestion in its history ;and in reply to a direct inquiry as to what phase of that volumne of work h 'would give his best interest and energy, Senator Fulton intimated that he would get especially fcusy if a general Rivers and Harlors bill was introduced, an. I strive indefatigably for the.rescogni tion of the river and waterways of Ore gon in particular, and of the sani? agencies throughout the country where the same were of commanding Import ance; and that aside from this, he in tended to press the consideration and passage of his bill to amend the Inter State Commerce law, and known at Senate Bill No. 423. This bill amends the present law by compelling the transportation companies of the country to submit all new traflic schedules to the Inter-State Commerce Commission for approval and legal ai ceptance before placing them in effect upon their lines; in other words it pro hibits an increase in rates until a hear 33rd Annual Clearance Sale Twenty per Cent.

The Nobby Clothier ing on the same has been had by the Commission, in order to avoid just such ruinous contretemps as is now notorious in the matter of the new lumber rates; a condition that is jeopardizing million of capital and forcing ruin on hundreds of business ventures through the extra ordinary delays in its final adjudication. Under the terms of Senator Fulton's amendment, the Cofnrnjsion may ap prove the rates submitted and mae them operative by the company devising them jor it may qualify them oy the tihfltitution of nif intermediate system of rates in the mine connection, or it may disapprove and repudiate the new schedule absolutely; thus leaving, all concerned free from the turmoil and cost incident to the operation f the newer tariff until it has beenproperly and legally confirmed by the people charged with that duty. As it stands today, the increased rate may be applied by any company choosing to eivforce it, to the 1ms and detriment of the ship ping concerns, and what they shall have paid out on it, may, in the event the Inter-Sta'te Commerce Commission final ly condemno it, prove an unjust add Irra tional loss, a complete case of puN "bunco." All the great Senate committees will hold meetings next week to organize their affairs and get in line for the big accumulations of the session. As chair man of the Senate committee on Claims, Senator Fulton expects to be practically overwhelmed with work, as this is one of the busiest of all, having no less than 2000 cases before it already, let alone all that will accrue with the ad vance of the session. -. The Senator reports the whole eaot in the clutches of La Grippe, and that when he left Washington, Mrs. Fulton was wrestling with a- light attack, but he expects to find her quite recovered on his return, an expectation in which their many friends here will join most heart ily. " Mr. Halderman had readied fanning ton when the Senator left, and has been kept -working overtime disposing of tho Wg correspondence that falls to Senator Fulton's desk these strenuous days. For a "long" session, the Senator be lieves that Congress will compass, its duties M early as the irst of May, unless something unforsecn arises to continue it to the old limitations' of June or July.
