Fifty-Seventh Congress.
Washington, D. c., Feb. IA.
SENATE.

SENATE.
The Senate met at one O'Clock today,
one hour later than customary, to enable
the Senators to attend the wedding OF
the daughter of Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri,
which took place at noon.
There was Immediately laid before the
Senate the Elkins bill, coming over from
the House of Representatives. 1t pro-
hibits discrimination in rates by common
carriers and is the third of the antitrust
measu' ts advocated and urged by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Upon motion of Mr.. Clapp, in charge
of the bill, the House amendments were
agreed to.
There was no discussion. The bill
will now be engrossed, and when signed
by the Speaker of the House and the
President pro TEN OF the Senate, will go
to the President for his signature.
The statehood bill was subsequently
taken up upon motion of Mr.. Quay who
after Directing to the consideration OF
several private bills, permitted his meas
ure to be put aside for the Indian APP
preparation bill.
HOUSE.

1T NOW seems TO be an assured fact
that the Venezuelan imbroglio has end
ed. 1t is announced that the protocols
have been signed, Italy having with
drawn her objection to the payment to
Germany of larger preliminary sum
than the other allies are to receive.
Germany will receive $4,000 in
monthly installments and the other al
lies s27, 500 each. The whole question
at issue will go TO The Hague tribunal
for adjustment, and 80 per cent. of the
receipts from customs at La Guayra and
Puerto Cabello will be set aside for the
payment of foreign claims. The block

PASSAGE OF THE ELKINS BILL

! PASSAGE OF THE ELklNS BILL.
AS was stated in the Gazette, under
an ironclad rule that gave members the
option only of voting for or against the
measure and the amendments recon-
mended by the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, the House yesler-
day passed the Elkins rebate bill by a
vote of 24l to 6. The rule provided that
consideration OF the measure should be
Immediately in order, thus sidetracking
the sundry civil bill, and that after an
hours debate the question should be on
the adoption of the committees amend
ments and the passage of the bill with
out intervening motion.
This prevented any attempt to amend
the bill, nor could it be recommitted with
instructions. 1t had been planned to
have the language of the Littlefeld bill
offered as a substitute for the Elkins bill
when the latter measure came before the
House, but this, too, was barred by the
rule. Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, the
minority leader, opposed the adoption of
the rule and attempted to have it re-
jected by the House, but the rule was
adopted by strictly party vote.
This virtually completes the admins
tration programme for antitrust legisla-
ton, as il is we'll understood the Senate
will promptly adjust the differences on the
bill, and it will speedily become law.
1t is generally recognized that the SEN
ale is responsible for the execution of the
administration antitrust plans, and,
in fact, the speedy action of the House
yesterday on the Elkins bill was due to
the individual influence of Senators who
have been in frequent consultation of late
with the leaders on the House side.
While the Senate committee on judiciary
continues to work on the Littlefield hill,
it is definitely understood that it has no
chance of serious consideration by the
Senate. The antitrust question, with
the sending of the Elkins bill to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, will he removed from
the theater of national legislation for
this Congress.

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

The Senate yesterday passed the Hal
sey bill, to place the statue of Robert E.
Lee in Statuary Hall, at the national
Capitol, the vote being almost unani-
nous. Mr.. Opie made strong speech
against it, and he and Mr.. Bryant, Of
Richmond, voted against it.
Mr. Gold, who, few days ago, fought
the measure, said he recognized that the
majority sentiment was against him, and
that if the bill became law at all, it
should be unanimous, and he would,
therefore, cast his vote for it.
II. Gardner Tyler, grandson Of the for
mer president of the United States, led of
in a strong and eloquentspeech in favor OF
the Halsey bill, and was roundly APP
plauded at its close.
Senator J. n. 0pie, of Staunton, who
is one of the ablest and most interesting
speakers in the Senate, followed, and OPP
posed it. He called attention to the fact
that the invitation of Congress to the
states to place statues in the hall at the
Capitol was given in 1864, the darkest
days of the Confederacy, and if the in
vitation was given to Virginia, it was
brought by Phil Sheridan burning his
way down the Valley and causing suffer-
ing to women and children. He want
ed to know who carried it to Georgia,
unless it was Sherman in his destructive
march to the sea.
Mr.. Opie thought the old soldiers, as
far as he could learn, were opposed to
placing Lees statue in Statuary Hall.
Mr.. McIlwaine presenteda bill for the
appointment, every two years, by the
governor, of three commissioners for the
promotion of uniformity of legislation in
the United States, to define their duties
and to authorize the payment of their
travelling expenses.
The bill in relation to the extension OF
corporate limits of cities was passed by
until next Tuesday.
Just before adjournment Mr.. Nell
waine introduced a bill providing for
the Torrens system of transferring prop
erty.
HOUSE.
The House yesterday decided to give
the Campbell investigation free run and
adjourned until Monday so that the
investigation could proceed all day to-
day without interruption.
The Senate bill to incorporate the
Alumni Association of the University OF
Virginia was passed ; also one providing
for the prosecution of cases moved to the
federal court.
A bill was offered by Mr. Hundley to
appropriate $40, 900 for the use of the
