The eighth annual report of the Interstate Com' merce Commission, which was sent to ContrreA yesterday, ranges through a variety of subjects, opening with that of court decisions, noting the case of Brim Bon and others. The Supreme Court .held. that Congress may employ any ap propriate means to accomplish the. ob ject of the law granted to it by the con stitution, and that Congress has plenary power to prescribe the rules regulating interstate commerce J that provisions of the 12th section of the act Jo regulate commerce, requiring the courts to use their process in aid of inquiries before the commission, are constitutional and valid ; that in a proceeding to complete the attendance and testimony of wit ' nesses before the commission or to com - vmiI the nrnrliintion of books. papers and documents, in a case of which under the constitution a Federal court may take cognizance, the failure to obey an 7 . 7 .1 ..iit,,l than to forest oy her lorces as a condition ior mms lei mi adapted to agricultural than to forest j without further delay, and that the demands were to be in creased if hostilities were prolonged, is similar to those that have appeared in the .Tananese newBDaners for some time past. Such statements are regarded here as merely tne opinions oi mo writers as to what Japan should insist upon. - The authentic news now at hand shown that the negotiations have pro- fressed no further than an insistence by apan upon the condition that the Chi nese government snail sena an .amuns- oailor to Tokio to make its overtures. and this information is credited by the officials of the Japanese legation here, who have been of the opinion ior some . . . .

Washington, December 7. The hill introduced in the Senate to-day by They Should be Fed With Such Food as Will Furnish an Abundance of Nutri tion Without Largely Increasing the Proportion of Fat. . A cow that is dry should be fed with such food as will furnish ah abundance of nutrition without largely increasing the proportion of fat. ' It is the poorest kind of economy to let a dry cow run down in flesh, and it is almost as bad to make her fat. She should be kept in a finnitnr TSorrv to nrovide a temnerory government for the portion of the Indian good thrifty condition and in as perfect ronnnian hv the fiVfl ClVlllZed neailU BB OUBBIUIO, uu tribes provides that a Territory shall be formed to be known as lndianoia. Among the first provisions made is one that any time in the future the bounda ries may be changed or any portion at- order of the court requiring the giving of such testimony or the production oi qocu ments before the commission is properly punishable as contempt of court. inal and civil proce dure under the law the commission, call in attention to misapprehension upon this point, explains that its duty is to report to the Department of Justice facts concerning alleged violations of the pe nal clauses of the act, and says this does not clothe the commission with detective or prosecuting-functions, its connection ;th ti.o xriminal aide of the law ending with such report to the Department of Justice. The report says that it is the .itir nf ahrnnnrR . railway managers and .itintta rro'norallV tfl assist the KOVem ant in runninff down violations of etatutaa nnaicne'd to protect their inter ests. Transportation should not be re carded as a part of the private business of shippers. It should be viewed as an ooenrv nrovlded under government sanc tion. It recommends that the carrying i.nrnnntinn -he made indictable and onhiont to fine for violation of the act. The report presents at length a state ment of the work of the commission and discusses the long and short-haul clause. Due observance of that clause, it says, will encourage legitimate and re strain, illegitimate competition in the carrying trade. , ' Speaking of the classification of freights the commission refers to the progress al ready made toward harmonious railway operation, which is desirable for the pub lie interests, and explains the necessity o-le classification of com modities 'for the whole country. The advance 1n the past, it asserts, demon too that uniformity is practicable, v.,! ti,o failure to Becure satisfactory progress in this-work is due to the fact that the three classifications now in use have been, separately developed by the nuQAnia far) 1 ill PR oneratine in sections where the classifications apply, and that o.i.h oronn of carriers has accomplished its separate task, but seems unable to agree upon and enforce a single classifi cation.
