Paris Papers Think That the Question Can Be Settled Without War. PARIS, Oct. 25.—The general tone of the French press comments is reflected by the Eclair, which remarks: “An agreement regarding Fashoda can be arrived at provided Great Britain does not persist in asking for the immediate re- call of Maj. Marchand. But as to an out- let on the Nile, we have an absolute right and will broék no refusal.”’ The Siecle, after urging peace, says: “France would hardly come off better in a war with England than did Spain in the war with the United States.

Railway Associations Wiped Out by the Supreme Court Decision. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—Railroad officials are unwilling to talk for publication about the Joint Traffic decision, saying that they could not discuss the matter with full un- derstanding of all its bearings until they had had an opportunity to read the text of the Supreme Court’s opinion, and James Cc. Carter, who, with ex-Minister Edward J. Phelps and ex-Senator Edmunds, argued the cause of the Joint Traffic Association before that tribunal, also declined to say anything in advance of a careful study of the opinion, a copy of which he expects to receive within a day or so, It is thought, however, that the dissolution of all the oth- er existing railway associations of the country, as well as the Joint Traffic Asso- ciation, is inevitable. The existence of these bodies has not had the effect of putting a stop to rate cutting, and some railroad men are inclined to thi: k that the companies will get along fairly well by instituting again the system of ‘‘gentlemen’s agreements” as a substitute for the associations. Others de- clare that it will be absolutely necessary for the welfare of the roads for Congress to enact new legislation. Aldace F. Walker, board of directors of the said: “This decision makes action by Congress imperative, as the railroad business can- not be conducted in conformity with the anti-trust statute as construed by the 5Su- preme Court.” President Fink of the Norfolk & West- ern said that he had fully expected that the Supreme Court would decide against the railroads. ‘‘Neverthe’ess,” he added, “IT believe, as I always have believed, that rate agreements are not in restraint of trade, but, on the contrary, they facilitate it. The railroads will now have to shape their organizations to fit the law.” It is expected that the board of control of the Joint Traffic Association will meet within a few days to take action in line with the court’s decision, perhaps changing the Joint Traffic agreement so greatly as to make the association in future nothing more than a bureau of information. CHICAGO, Oct, 2%.—The following are the opinions expressed by leading railway officials of the city on the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Joint Traffic Association case, all being without knowledge of The text of the decision ex- cept that it is against the Joint Traffic As- sociat.on lines: J.
