REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
Measures Which Will be Taken Up in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 26-The Re
publican Steering Committee of the
Senate met this evening and indorsed
the following measures for considera-
ton, if the appropriation measures do
not interfere: For refunding the Pa
cific railroad debt; the bankruptcy and
immigration and several other matters
OF Importance.
While these matters will. by the tacit
consent of the committee, come up for
action, there is little belief on the part
OF any member of the committee that
any of them will receive serious consid-
GRAFTON at this session. 1t was agreed
that as soon as the filled cheese bill
was out of the way that the bill which
passed the House this afternoon for the
repeal Of the section for free alcohol in
arts of the Wilson tariff bill should be
taken up.
The anti-bond bill Of Mr.. Butler. now
before the Senate. was the subject of an
informal discussion, the silver members
OF the committee of course favoring ac-
ton at the earliest possible date. The
anti-silver men stated that they looked
upon the passage Of the bill as a piece
Of folly that could result in no tangible
results for the silver men, but expressed
their willingness to permit it to come to
a vote without obstructive tactics being
interposed. It is probable that this vote
viii be taken within the next two days

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
Chairman Morrison on the Bill AboI-
ishing the Imprisonment Clause.

WASHINGTON, May 26-William
r. Morrison, Chairman of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has
written letter to the House Commerce
Committee with reference to the pend
ing Sherman bill which abolishes the
imprisonment clause of the Interstate
Commerce law and substitutes a fine
of $4,000 therefor.
Mr. Morrison's letter says in part:
Nothing will more effectually prevent
unlawful transportation practices than
the possible imprisonment of those re-
sponsible for such practices. Such a
remedy is apparently within our reach,
and the law in most transportation
cases is being better observed To re-
peal or undo this remedy, in part at
least, as proposed by the bill, is to in
vfte and make law-breaking easy and
its punishment more difficult Such
action on the part of Congress would
seem inexplicable'

vigorous sense of duty in the old American
colonial days SO Olive Schreiner, the South
African novelist and reformer, has been making
it lively for Cecil Rhodes and his ilk, who have
been dominating Cape Colony for their own
selfish ends.
Like the husband Of Abigail Adams the hus-
band of Olive Schreiner is a member of the
Colonial Assembly. His name was kronwright
until her married Olive Schrener, when, as a
compliment 10 the woman more distinguished
than the man, lie compounded the name and
now they are everywhere known as Mr. and
Mrs. Observation-Disclosures.
Olive Schreiner, TO whom the credit is due
for exposing the misdeeds of Cecil Rhodes and
his rotten Kaihr mining schemes in South
Africa, is the daughter of nRich missionary
OF Cape Colony and his English wife.
She was almost grown before she had seen
town or city. but she knows South Africa
through and through. and has seen many in
stances Of cruelty 10 the blacks and injustice TO
the Beers, the Dutch-Africsn farmers who
bear that name
London going wild over the rapid adj
vance in kafr mining shares when Olive
Schreiner sounded the warning and brought
stock gambling 10 such a sudden stop that the
agents of Cecil Rhodes were nearly swept off
their feet.
She has been enlisting the women of Cape
Colony in the fight against Cecil Rhodes. who.
she charges, has bought his way into power in
the Government. He has made money the god
of South Africa He is enslaving the poor and
making the rich more rich. She deplores that
in this new country, where socialism should
be feasible. the conditions in the old nations
are resulting. To her the idea that one man
should simply own such an enormous amount
of the virgin soil and OF mineral wealth, which
belongs as much 10 ore man MS to another, is
