St. Pelerabarg, (By Cable).—The talk of "pyronline” (poisoned) aworda having been left behind by the fleeing Japanese is based on th^ intstransla tion of a Russian lechhiral leim. Genearal Ziluntki, chief of staff to Viceroy Alexirff, in a telegram said that pyroxiline had been frc.rr.d in the form of di*c-»baoed torpedoes, »ix inches in diameter, which the Japanese intended to u*e in bestrewing the road over which the Russian* were expected to pass, in order that the explosion* rtvultinr- from the impart of the horses' hoof* might c*a*e a stampede.

Justice Harlan said that in this day there should be qo doubt of the complete power bO( Congress to fontrol inter-Statc commerce, and that all appropriate means might be resorted to fdr that purpose. AI! the prior trusj cases were in sunport of that rotfteation. Whether free and unrestrained competition c.-a* wise, he said, was an economic question with which the court need not concern itself: the question was that of statutory law. He “verted the power of Congress over inter-State commerce to be as

the power of a State over

domestic commerce.
