The exact nature of Carranza's at titude toward latest representations by mediators, however, was not dis closed. A partial reply to the media tors' proposals has been received by constitutionalists agents here, it was announced, but that not all the desir ed lnformalon was contained in the dispatches. Further information Is expected today. -It was deemed likely that the constitutionalists' answer to mediating envoys' note would not be forwarded to Niagara Falls before tomorrow.

NO M DDL EGOURS FRENCH CABINET IS FORMED BY RIBQT 9,. 1914 if. Supreme Court Rr Inter state Commissir as Par amount Authority Over ' Interstate Roads. DECISION IS RENDERED IN SHREVEPORT CASE Pointed Out That the Laws of Congress Do .Not Confine Commission to Purely Interstate Commerce. Washington, June 9. The Su preme court has upheld the inter state commerce commission's orders in the Shreveport rate case, thus placing Interstate railroads more ful ly under the control of commission and less under state bodies. Justice Hughes, announcing the court's decision, outlined the unre stricted power of the interstate, com merce commission over interstate commerce, saying the commission, was expressly organized for that pur pose. He said the commissioners and not the state had power to prevent railroads from using their authority so as to Injure interstate business. Summarizing his reasoning, Justice Hughes proceeded to show that con gress had conferred the power it possessed, on this point, to the com mission. He pointed out the laws congress adopted did not confine the commlelson to "purely interstate commerce." Referring to the Minnesota rate de cision, Juatice Hughes said that deci sion was expressly reserved in those cases as to what tho outcome would have been had the interstate com merce' commission found that the Minnesota rate discriminated wgalnst interstate commerce. "The fact that carriers are Instru ments of Intrastate commerce as well as of Interstate commerce," said Jus tice Hughes, "does not derogate from tho complete and paramount author ity of congress over the latter or pre clude the federal power from being exerted to prevent the Intrastate op erations of such carriers from being made a means of Injury to that which has been confided to federal caTe. "WWrever tho interstate and intra state transactions of carriers are so related that the government of the one' Involves the control of the other It is congress and not the state that is entitled to prescribe the final nnrt dominant rule, for otherwise con gress would be denied the exercise of its constitutional authority and the state, not the nation, would be su preme in the national field." In removing discriminations against Interstate commerce, the court ho'd congress was not bound to reduce tho interstate rates below what It mny deem to be a proper standard to the carrier and the public.
