Rockefeller on combinations and rebates through railroads
John D Rockefeller testifies before the industrial commission reporting that Standard Oil received pre 1880 rebates from railroads but earned no net profit from them as any advantage was offset in oil prices. He argues combinations are essential for large scale business and urges federal or uniform state legislation to regulate corporations and curb frauds. Congress in Brief notes Senate honors the late Vice President Probart and considers resolutions on Britain seizing American goods and government control of money and communications. House activity was light with eulogies and a pension bill for Civil War veterans. A Newlands resolution seeks a committee to study uniform duties across states and territories.

Britain Offers Indemnity Over Seized American Flour
Lord Salisbury outlines three proposals in a reply to Ambassador Choate. Britain would pay damages to U S citizens for corn and flour seized near Delugui Bay and abroad, would not deem contraband without positive proof, and claims the seizures served military needs while respecting neutral rights. The U S accepts the military necessity claim and the non contraband ruling but rejects a general declaration on contraband.
