Washington, May 13.-After long
period Of calm, the Senate was con-
siderably agitated, today, first, by a
discussion of the Senate sugar investi-
CATION, and then by preliminary
skirmish on the tariff bill The Allen
resolution to bring Elverton r. Chap
man before the bar of the Senate was
discussed in somewhat monotonous
style, until Tillman of South Carolina
gave a present interest to the subject
by referring to reports that senators
within the last week had speculated in
Sugar stock. He declared that the
Senate had another stencil on its hands,
that instead of pursuing Chapman, it
should go after the sugar Trust gran
dees" with view to having them dis
close the facts as to senators. After
extended debate in which Allen, Chand
Ter. White, Gray and Chiffon partici
rated, the resolution was referred
without division to the judiciary COM
mittee.
Late in the day. Aldrich. in charge Of
the tariff BILL announced that he would
not call up the tariff bill next Tuesday,
as contemplated, but on the following
made, the regular debate to begin not
later than Monday, May "A. This was

The Senate agreed at the outset of the
session that the adjournment be until

The Allen resolution relative to
bringing Elverton X. Chapman to the
bar of the Senate was taken up as soon
as the routine business was out of the
way.
Allen said the Senate should. in jus
tice to itself. take this matter in hand
and deal with it promptly He could

Hoar moved to refer the resolution to
the committee on privileges and cleo

Answering a question of Allen, White
said the right of the Nebraska senator
to urge this resolution was not ques-

The Great Northern Railway COM
er than it's competitors in adopting new
ideas, but the wisdom Of this policy is
believed to be in the fact that it's con-
servatism always results in the adop-
ton of an innovation after it has
passed its experimental stage and re-
ceived the benefits of continued and
practical improvements.
In the adoption of the system of vest
ibuling its passenger trains, the Great
Northern is one of the last of the
transcontinental roads, but the an
nouncement is now made that the
Great Northern will Immediately COM
mence the work of adding vestibules
to it's entire complement of transcon-
tinental rolling stock
For the past two or three weeks there
have been a half dozen agents in the
city, representing as many car build
ing concerns of the United States. Each
Of these concerns has been figuring on
the big contract. They have submit
ted different plans for the vestibuling
OF the transcontinental cars, and, it is
understood, the officials Of the road
nave adopted one of the most modern
types of vestibule yet invented. 1t is
the full width vestibule, on the order
of the new trains on the Northwestern
road. The vestibules will extend the
entire width of the car, necessitating
folding steps and platforms. The great
advantage of the full-width vestibule
will especially be felt on the transcon-
tinental train.
The Great Northern has in excess Of
eighty passenger and sleeping cars in
its transcOntinental service, and, as the
work Of remOdeling coaches will cost
about $1,100 per car, the entire cost
together with certain other improve
ments will foot up to nearly 500 600
The work will be carried on as rapidly
as possible at the cOmpany's shops at
Como. The undertaking will require
about two months of solid work. and
will give employment to a number Of
skilled mechanics.
In addition to vestibuling it's pas
stnger and sleeping cars, the Great
Northern is now making improvements
OH the latter class of sleepers which
will be welcomed by the travelling pub
lie. The company now has a number
of its sleeping cars in the shops for
the purpose of fitting them out with
stateroOms. Each car will have num-
Der of private rooms. In time the vest
ibuled cars will also be run on the

w. H. GEMMEL PROMOTED.
Reported That He Has Been Made
Secretary of the N. r.


Secretary of the n. z.
What Is considered as a deserved promo
ton has come to William H. Gemmel for the
last six months secretary to President E. W.
Winter, Of the Northern Pacific. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that Mr.. Gemmel had been
elected resident secretary of the road with
headquarters at st. Paul. The position is one
OF trust and responsibility, and it is a COM
pliment to Mr.. Gemmel that he should be Sc
lected so soon after his first connection with
the road. Last August Mr. Gemrnel severed
his connection with the Northwestern line to
become private secretary to Mr.. Winter Mr.
Gemmel was then chief clerk to General Man
ager Burt, Of the Northwestern but was
chief clerk to Mr.. Winter when the latter was
general manager prior to Mr.. Burt. His long
association with Mr.. WinterAhad so established
him in the confidence of that official that the
latter selected him for private secretary.
AS local secretary for the Northern Pacific
Mr.. Gemme]- will have. charge of valuable
records and financial statements. Nominaly
Mr.. Gemmel has been attending to these du-
ties for several weeks. No announcement is
yet made his successor as private sec
rotary to the president.
Another change in the official staff is the
reported election of George H. Earl as treas
urer Of the road, with headquarters at New
York. Mr. Earl was formerly assistant secre-
tary Of the Northern Pacific with headquar-
ters in New York. 1t is now the policy of the
road to handle DIS much OF the official bust
ness from St. Paul instead of New York as
many of the duties formerly assigned to Mr.
Earl. 1t is said that the fact that St. Paul
was now the actual headquarters of the road
was what caused the resignation Of COmptrOl-
Ter Scott, who objected to gbeing deprived Of
the luxuries Of life in New York.
