WASHINGTON, D, O., May l9.-Tht
Interstate Commerce bill passed th'
Senate to-day by two majority
Senators Morrill,, Sherman aud Ed
munds on the Republican side voting
for it. The bill passed with Mr.. oaudsn'l
amendment substantially in snaps as in
troduCed by him, but amended by Ed
munds as to an immaterial point, The de
bate to-day was very lively, Cullom
spooner, Edmuuds, Teller, ingalls,, Cam
den, Kenna aud others taking an active
part, A very strong railroad lobby has
been in the city working against the Cam
den amendment, but without avail. The
bill,will undoubtedly pass the House and
will prove of untold benefit to West Vir'
gipia. Mr.. Camden is entitled to'credil
for the strong and determined fight In be-
half Of the measure. He fought against
fearful odds.
In an interview with Senator Camden
tonight he says that the effect OF the bill
ss passed with the Edmunds' amendment
will be practically the same to West Vir-
ginia as his amendment would have been
without 1t, He says, however, that he
has no doubt the House will restore the
language Of the amendment, as being
more simple and effective than the phrase
ology under the Edmunds' amendment,
