uTTLEFIELD BILL
REPORTED TO SENATE
And What Is More, The Com
mittee Added New and Strin-
gent Provisions.
a BUSTER THAT'LL BUST
Sill VIII Stop Watering Of Stock and
Restricts Use OF the Instruments
OF Interstate Commerce
A Close Vote.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The senate
Committee on judiciary yeste4aay..A-
consideration of the LituefieId
antt-trust bill. and concluded to report
II 20 the senate with a number Of i'm
Eortant amendments.
Ihe most important changes were
made In connection with sections 6 and
Z OF the house bill, for which the SEN
ate committee recommends complete
substitutes. Section 6, as the bill
passed the house, prohibited a person
ngage in violating the provisions Of
the law from using any Of the instru-
mentalities of interstate commerce.
Ihis purpose is retained in the sub
st1tute of h senate committee, but
the scope of the provision Is consider
ably enlarged.
The new section also prescribes con-
ditions under which it shall be unlaw-
ful for any corporation hereafter organ
lied to engage in interstate commerce.
one of these conditions is that the cap
ltal stock of such corporation has been
liked at a sum greater that the sum
actually paid in ash or in property at
actual cash value, unless the excess
has been actually subscribed by bona
f1de subscribers and is subject to call
IN the manner provided by the law of
the state where organized.
Section Z imposed a fine Of IS, 900 on
common carriers for violations of this
act, or existing interstate commerce
law. The substitute uses the word cor
poration" instead of the words com
mon carrier" and provides for a forfeit
to the United States.
A fir of $4,000 or Imprisonment for
five years, or both, is imposed on per-
sons who may knowingly cause or aid
any corporation to violate these
statutes.
It was over these two substitutes
that the committee had the sharpest
contest and closest votes. They were
carried by the full democratic vote,
with the assistance of three republic
ans, the senators voting for the amend
ments being: Hoar, Nelson, McComas
republicans; Bacon, Pettus, Turner
Blackburn, Culberson, democrats.
The negative votes were cast by
Platt Of Connecticut, Clark Of Wyo-
ming, Fairbanks of Indiana, Simon
Depew, all republicans.
Many other changes are made in the
text of the bill.
Only 2 votes were cast against the
final motion to report the bill. These
were by Plat of Connecticut and Clark
OF Wyoming.
Senator Nelson offered a substitute
for the entire bill specifically declaring
against merger on the part Of com.
binations, but it was not accepted.

New York, Feb. l7.-Addressing a.
gathering at Carnegie hall, last night,
under the auspices Of the ST. Vincent.
de Paul society, John Lascaster Spauld-
Ing of Peoria, received great applause.
when he declared great wealth is al
most certain to degrade it's possessor,
and out of all the men known to reckon
their possessions in millions he named
only one-Andrew C~arnegie-as able to
rise above his surroundings.
Bishop Spaulding admitted the great
power of money n declared it appear-
ed to be almost the real form of powre

possesses it a hold on things that
neither intellectual power aor faith can

Dr. M1not j. Savage, in the Unitarian
Church Of the Messiah, yesterday spoke
on the race problem, which he said
threatens the future Of the republic.
Slavery, he said, would have continued

south, had it been equally profitable
here. DR.. Savage continued: Senator
1llman whom I heard at a dinner last
night, said that if social and political
equality and allowed the colored peo-
pie it means, in his judgment, a grad
ual mixing, mongrelizing and degrading
Of the entire people. The black man is
not a white man with a colored skin.
The great science of evolution tells us
that there are centuries, milleniums. Of
natural development between the posi-
ton which the white man occupied and
that occupied by the black. I have
never been in favor of the kind of suf-
frage which is conferred upon people in
this country, either white or black. I
would give the ballot to persons who
nave character n intelligence enough
to make good citizens. But it is too
late now for that. The question is.
what are we to do now? and I say. I
don't know. I would like to have the
colored people scattered over the coun-
try in groups. Let them have control
Of towns or small cities; let them learn
self government with the example OF
of u methods all around them"
