Waahimjtca, Special. By a divi sion of 5 to 3 ihf .in.ww,.. r . . l ' ... v VVUII of the United State- has afilrmed th decision of the United State Circuit Court of Appeals for the eighth cir cuit, imposing fines on tht- Chicago Burlington & Quiucy Railway Com pany, for granting and the packers of Kansas City, Kan., for accepting rebates on shipments of packers' pro ducts intended for export. The de cision was announced by Justice Day and his announcement was con curred in by Justices Harlan, White, McKenna and Hulmes. The Chief Justice and Justices Brewer and Peckham dissented hi an opinion an nounced by Justice Brewer, which pungentlv critized the controlling opinion. Justice Moody took no part in the disposition of the case. The Points Involred. In his opinion Justice Day dis- CUSSQil the various noinfa nf iroversy involved m the cases. Taking up the first question as to what constitutes a crime. In the matter of granting rebates he said: "Had it been the intention of Con gress to limit the obtaining of such preferences to fraudulent schemes or devices, or to those operating only by dishonest, under-handed methods, it would have been easy to have provided in words that would bo un mistakable in their meaning. A de vice need not be necessarily fraudu lent; the term includes anything which i:; a plain contrivance." Discussing th effect of the ruling on the usual construction of con tracts Justice Day said: "There is no provision for tho filing cf contracts with shippers and no method of making them public defined in the statute. If the rates are subject to secret alteration by special agreement, then the statute will fail of its purpose to estabish a rate duly published, known to all, and from which neither shipper nor carrier may depart. "It is said that if the carrier saw fit to change the published rate by contract the effect will be to make the same evailable to all other ship pers. But the law is not limited to giving equal rates by indirect and uncertain methods. It has provided for the establishment of one rate to be filed as provided, subject to change as provided, and that rate to be while in force the only legal rate. Any other construction of the statute opens the door to the possibility of the very abuses of unequal rates which it was the design of the statute to prohibit and punish. "It may be as urged by petitioner, that this construction renders im possible the making of contracts for the future delivery of such merchan dise as the petitioner deals in, and that the instability of the rate intro duces a factor of uncertainty, de structive of contract rights hereto fore enjoyed in such property. But such considerations address them selves to Congress, not to the courts. It is the province of the judiciary to enforce laws constitutionally enacted, not to make them to suit their own views of propriety or justice. "The statute being within the con stitutional power of Congress and being in force when the contract was made, is read into the contract and becomes part of it. If the ship per sees fit to make a contract cover ing a definite period for a rate in force at the time he must be taken to have done so subject to the -possible change of the published rate in the manner fixed by statute, tt which he must conform or suffer the penalty fixed by law." In the course of hia opinion. Jus tice Day gave the following general definition of the intent of the ElkinsT act: , Rl Iras' Act Defined, "The Elkins' act proceeded upon broad lines, and was . evidently in tended to effectuate the purpose of Congress to require that all ship pers should be treated alike, " aud that the only rate charged to airy shipper for the same service under the same conditions should be the one "established, published and posted as required by law. It is not so much .the particular form by which, or the motive' tor which , thi? purpose was accomplished, but tha intention was to prohibit any and all means that might ' be resorted to to obtain or receive 'concessions and rebates from the fixed rates, duly potted and published' THE WORK OF CONGRESS Deisss f Ocr Natleaal LAw-laicrt Day Vy Day fUaalor TtZmaa Oasatie.

Tbo Pendulum! Extremes. Mr. Tillman traecd what lr Urtned a "awiuping of the fmlulmn" from the regime of Andrew Juhnton when Congress assumed control al most to the eicluion of the Presi dent from legislative iiifluenr to the administrations that followed, hi-h he declared witneied a growth of presidential in.wcr. The dominatiui: influence and control of the executive branch, he said, over the legislative and in a levs degree over the judicial branehen of the government were the most marked features of American polities at this time. "It has taken," Paid Mi. Tillman, "just forty-one year for the pendu- um to swing from one extreme to he other." "Now," he said, "the Houm' of epresentatives has. degenciated into itle more than a recording machine to do the will of the SeaWer and lis Ik .tenants." Freedom of debate , a a in tlie old ana true sense lias li.ai- peared from that end of the Capitol, lie added. In the Senate "servility and cowardice are the order of the day," he declared and "the shadow :f the Kxeeutive hands over all, anJ the President's wishes are almost the jnly law." P.casts Wall Street. Mr. Tillman reviewed the events of the recent currency crisis and charged Vtall Street with many mis demeanors. "The profits of this nefarious stock monger have," he said, "found their way info the wickets of the very men who with the evil results of their fraud manifest pose as 'saviours' and 'uncrowned kings, and are lauded to the skits when they were really trying to fave themselves from the disasters which threatened to overwhelm them along with their deluded victim. One of these 'sa viours' had done more than any oth er of the money kings to deluge the stock market with watered htock." Millions for Protection. The House sub-committee on forti fications has rejorted to the commit tee on appropriations the fortifica tions appropriation b'H with the es timates for the War Department slashed from 3S.443,945, to .S10, 611 on account of the desire of the commitree to avoid giving ground for the impression that the United States is preparing for war with Japan. Most of the appropriation is for Hawaii and the Philippines. The bill was at once reported to the House with recommendation that it pass. This year's bill, as revised by the committee, covers among various projects the following: For range finding (fire control) in continental United States $270,000; for guns and implacements at Decep tion Pass, $573,000; repairing storm damage at Charleston, S. C, $59,000; at Pensacola, $50,000, and at Mon bile, $589,000; for fortifications at Honolulu, including placing in a few additional mortars at Pearl Harbor, $3100,000; for fortifications in the Philippines, $1,949,000. Brownsrillo Case Again. Reports from the committee on military affairs were presented to tho Senate in regard to the investigation of the affray at Brownsville, Tex. which resulted in the discharge with out honor of three companies of negro soldiers of the Tewenty-fifth Infan try. At the same time a message was received from the President call ing attention to the fact that the tes timony taken by the commitee sus tains his position in discharging ths negro soldiers. He recommends ex tension of the time for re-enlistment of the discharged men who might be found not to fall within the terms of the order. There were four reports from the committee, the majority be ing signed by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner, Dupont, Taliaferro, Foster, Overman, Frazier and Mc Creary. A minority report was sign ed by Seuators Foraker, Scott, Bulke ley and Hemenway.- jn his special message covering the matter the President says: "Applications to re-enlist from former members of Companies B C and D-f Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were discharged under the provisions of special order No. 266, War Depart ment, November 9th, 1906, must be made in writing and be accompanied by such evidence, also in writing, as the applicant may deiire to submit, to show , that he was neither jrnpi cated in the raid on Brownsjlle, Tex-, on the night. of August 13tb, 1906, nor withheld any evidence tbat might lead to the discovery of the perpetrators thereof.
