.% Great Interest Shown.
1t has been evident for some time that
the bill would command a majority in
the senate, but Notwithstanding the
fact the interest in the matter both of
senator's and Of the public had not
tagged a bit. All day the galleries were
crowded. From II o'clock, when the
senate convened, until the hour when
the voting began, advocates and oppon-
ents Of the bill brilliantly and eloquently
maintained their convictions and the
auditors were kept in state of constant
excitement.
The particularly notable speeches Of
the day were delivered by Mr.. Mason
(Ills.) in opposition Of the measure, and
Mr.. Foraker (O.) who replied to a
brief speech by MIR. Wellington (Md.) }.
1t was the Ohio senator's desire to clear
up any misunderstanding or misinfor.
nation concerning the bill.
Just before the adjournment a sensa.
tional episode occurred in which Mr..
Wolcott (Colo) accused Mr.. Lodge
(Mass.) Of uttering that which was
''unquali6edly false The difficulty
arose over an effort by Mr.. Lodge tc
have the Spooner bill made unfinished
business. This displaced the Quay case
and the friends Of the Pennsylvania
senator made things lively for half an

DUBLIN, April 5.-11:45 a. m.-Queen

The Decentralization from the royal

The queen appeared to be much af.

refused to officiate, but the lord mayor
himself handed the sword and keys to
her majesty, who touchedtthem.

declared that the reception and cere.

seen, far surprising those of the great

eral Colville could strike them as easily
from Bloemfontein as by following up
across the plain. Their forces still leave
the situation bewildering for the time

RATLR0AD SCHEDULES REJECTED'

Minnesota Commissioners Not Satisfied
With Railroad Proposals.
ST. PAUL, April 5. The schedule in
adjustment Of the present grain rates in
the southern part Of the state, sub
mitted to the railroad commission by
the roads interested, will be rejected, it
is understood. The commission will
now take the initiative and submit to
the railways concerned schedules of
their own, showing the rates which
they consider a fair and reasonable adj
justment of the present difficulties.
The statement is made upon the best of
authority that the commission will sub
NIT their own rate sheets, thereby
throwing aside the overtures already
made towards settlement. s@=1s !,
The commissioners have maintained
studied reserve concerning the dis
position of the schedules offered and
filed last week with the secretary. One
member said in answer to a question:
"Our schedules are not. yet ready.
They will be submitted within day or
two in all probability This state
ment confirms the report that the COM
mission will now take the lead. - t'' '
Officials of interested lines professed
to be much surprised to learn that the
commission had practically refused to
admit the schedules offered. It has
been the hope Of the interested lines
that by making partial reductions and
by conforming only in part with the re-
quirements of the commission, a basis
Of settlement could be reached which
would avoid litigation and at the same
time interfere as little as possible with
present sources of revenue.
