Examination free, letters answered promptly, and WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. The rnmedy of the Inter- state uiuimerce!;omiiitssions nvettig'ition into the combi nations nnd nionopo.KH of the coal and oil earning onds has been coutinut-d in Washington this week. It is true hut Urn Commission managed to steal a nmvti n some nf theotfMnls of thu coal curr.ting roads Tn t h Philadelphia heatings and it ooked then as though tin nvestigation which was lie gun in response, to a joint renolutiou from Congress might turn up some interest ing data. But the hearings of oflbials in the present ss- sion has been more, or less of a farce. It is true that the de plorable tstate of affairs was shown to exist, but the offi cers of the roads questioned answered with their tongues their cheeks and said after it was all over thatthecommis sion could have learned just as much by an intelligent pe rusal of the annual reports of the roads in conjunction with a copy of the railroads Manual. One instance was the case of the Buffalo, Rorh ester and Pittsburg Railway which was under investiga tion. There were two officials of the road up for examina tion. One was the general freight agent, Mr. Davis, and the other gentleman gen ernUupermtendant, Mr. Noo nan. Between them they ex plained that the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company was the property of the property of the Buff a lo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railway. The Jefferson and Clearfield Coal and Coke Co. was owned by thosumegtoup of officials, and these 4two companies owned mined nn shippeil more than 70 per rt of the coal that passer over the Buffalo, Rochester and TttMinrir Railrmd. which was primarily a coal carrying road. Of course this is in distinct defiance of the ruling of I b Supreme Court which holds that a nilroni must not have any interest in the commoditi 'H it trans ports. But this isa small ma ter to the roads. I hey own thcoal compnnis or the coal companies own ihe rail roads, whieh-ver way joii nrefer it. The officials came Up and testify to the fact am. then say privately that the Insterstate Commerce Lorn mission knew as much before the investigation began. The Buffalo. Rochester nnd Pitts butg Railway has been nsei merely as an illustration o the things that are coming out in the investigation, not in, any spirit of malice or dis crim ualiou. ihe otiieerso the road and the coal coai panics that it owns are no better and no worse than a lot of other railrouds and their olliceis that will be shown np in the investiga tion. The question is wheth er Congress will' make any use of the information when it has the papers transmit ted to it. The chances are that it will not. Butanycrit ics who have the spiiit o chai-itvleltwith thm o nd who do not waul tola class ed as muck-rakers can wait or the facts to develop and then lorm their judgement. Ther is one direction in which it w-ould seem that Con grcss is doing u good work. .'hat is i be purifying of clec ions. The Senate has report d favorably the resolution making it a crime for eoipo rations to contribute to dec ion funds. Now of course the ontributiun of any amount o an election fund by any- aidy is wrong in principle and ought to be suppressed. But if nobody had any elect ion fund, then the man with he biggest bank a c c o u n t would be able to go on the itistings and make the big gest shew and get his ideas the better put before the po le. Sojpeople who have a pergonal or ethical interest in a candidate contiibute to help him in his campaign. , Then the other side, seeing that there is money being spent, starts out to collect money for its candidate and it ends in the party in power which naturally hustbe whip hand, landing more contri bution than the other sid and presumably continuing its candidate in office. But the anti-contribution bill just reported is designed to change this. It prohibits the national hanks, corporations engaged in interstate and torcign commerce and corpo rations organized under Fed ral laws from contributing fund to any election. The pen alty in the case of corpora tion N fixed at not more thun $5,000 and in the case of individuals, who include the officers, directors and stockholders of the company a fine of not more than $l, 000 and a jail sentence. This is the thing that will hurt the individual who might not be touched by a mere fine. Unfortunately the cor poration cannot be subject ed to a jail sentence. It has "no bohhv to be kicked und no soul to be damned," so it can escape with a fine. But of course the corpora tions are not opposing the new law, They buye been blackmailed hy campaign col lectors often enough in the past, and thv ire glad to subscribe to any la that will prevent raids on tl.eir treasury. But how wl the reformatory law "will be en forced is u question. Kit is en forced in the letter and the soirit, it will simply leave the situation nsindieated above, where the man-with thj best private, bank account will stand the. best chance of get ting their views before t he people. Dispatches t) the Navy De partment state that the great dry dock Dewey has reached the entrance of th Suez Canal and is waiting preparations for itspassage through this great nrtifb'ia waterway. It has bepu ar ranged that-the mammoth dork shall go through thecn nal in the day time und that there hull be certain H'bices dredged nut for it like the si di'tgs on a railroad where it cnnlnyuout night anJ le the other shipping ia thecn- nul juts thunh.; Of cpuisel the dredging of these turn outs will come out of the pocket o( the contractor and it will materially reduce the profit that would have been; made in transporting the dock to Manila. But it is the choice of two evils, for it the dry dock had gone straight through the canal, there would have been no room for other ships to pass it, and the ci nal would have had to be closed to hII ot her traffic for six days. It looks as though it would take almost as much money to get the lock to to the Philippines as it did to build it, but when the journey is safely made, it will st and for a long tune ns the record towing perform ance of the world. n ; Not us Rich as Rockefeller.

Once and a while a woman tflbt thp rnlh it limit her rhil JJUl yut JyU Enrah for the American Heat Not long ago Secretary ol Agriculture Wilson got up omposition on the Ameri can hen which, it was believ ed, would stand as the priz winner. It was rather lengh hy and full of figures, but was the work ot a scholar However in a short speech b ore the House committee on agriculture Tuesday, Con gressman Dawson, of Iowa, took the laurels from Secre tury Wilsou. He spoke in U yor of an increased agricul- ural appropriation and grew eloquent when he came to the subject of the hen. He is quoted as saying: "Poets may sing of t h e glory of the eagle, and ar tists may paint the beauties of bitds of plumage, but the modest American hen is enti tled to n tribute for her in dtistry, her unselfishness and her productivity. The Atneri- an hen can produce wealth equal to the capital stock of all the banks of the New York clearing house in 3 months and have a week to spare. lu less than 60 days she can equal the total produc tion of all the gold Jmines in the United States. TheUni ted States proudly boasts of its enormous production of pig iron, by far the greatest of any country in the world, and yet the American hen produces as much in s i x months ns all the iron mines of the country produce in a year. In oneyear and ten moni hs she could pay off the interest bearing debt of the Uhited States." The hen is a great institu lion. She would be still great er if she and her offspring were not so inclined to upset the chicken grower's calcula tions by taking the cholera. Mr. Dawson's figures ure fas cinatiug, but uN the same we advise him that it is safer to draw his salary in Congress Mian to embark in the chick en farming business with the idea of putting thebatiksout of business.
