LETTER

(From I'LL regular correspondent
Washington, D. c., February 18th,
1903.
The sensation of the past week in
Washington has been the attempt of
the Standard Oil Company to obstruct
the antitrust program agreed upon
by the Senate and approved by the
President. The Elkins bill, apparent
ly, did not incite opposition on the
part of the trusts but the Nelson
amendment which was not directly in

but was added to the Department of
Commerce bill by the conferrees, and
which provides for a Commissioner of
Corporations and gives him power to
gather and compile trust statistics
became known just before it's adoption
and Immediately caused apprehension
on the part of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Mr.. Rockefeller, his son and
other officers of the company immedi-
ately telegraphed to those senators
whom they knew urging them not to
permit the adoption of the Nelson
amendment but to substitute therefor
an amendment which had been pre-
pared by their attorneys and which
was urged upon the conferrees by a
prominent member of the House.
Learning of the efforts of the great
oil trust to defeat his Glti-trust
policy, President Roosevelt sent for
certain newspapermen and related to
them the action which had been taken
by Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates.
The prompt publication of the facts
undoubtedly defeated the efforts of
the Standard Oil magnate. for both the
House and Senate have adopted the
Department of Commerce oil Wiz the

The real friends of the President in

The first of the important treaties
before the Senate was ratified yester-
day, practically without opposition,
only Senators Mason and Teller inter
posing objections. The President will
now appoint three eminent jurists IN
the part of the United States and they
will meet the three jurists to be ap-
pointed by Great Britain, in London,
as soon as is practicable. The recip-
rocity treaty with Greece came very
near passing yesterday, but went over
on an objection made by Senator
Hoar. Today the Senate will go into
executive session as soon as the rou-
tine business of the morning is COM
pleted, for the consideration of the
Colombian treaty.

The House Of Representatives has
passed the Littlefield antitrust bill,
that being the most important legis-
lation the House considered during
the past week and the bill 20 re-
poses in the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee from which there is little like
lihood of it's being reported. Senator
Hoar, Chairman of the Committee, is
Of the opinion that the bill he intro
duced during the holiday recess is
much more effective and would prob
ably report that if there was any pos
sibility that any trust bill, beyond
those already enacted, will be passed
this session. This is rendered true
by reason of the Statehood blockade,
which the Democrats now threaten to
prolong. Earlier in the session, say
the Senate leaders, the Senate would
have been glad to consider the Little
field or the Hoar bill, but at this late
date such consideration is out of the
question.

ret.
With the hope of conciliating the
Statehood republicans and their demo-
cratic allies the republican leaders
have caused to be framed a compro-
mise Statehood bill which provides for
the admission of Oaklahoma as one
State and provides that Indian Terri
tory shall be added thereto when the
Dawes Commission shall have COM
pleted its labors, alloting in severity
the lands of the territory. 1t further
provides for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as n State and
stipulates that for a period of ten
years the capital shall remain at Santa
Fe, after which time its location is
to be determined by popular vote. If
Senator Quay can succeed in whipping
his democratic allies into line this
measure will be introduced as a sub
stitue for the committee bill which,
it will be remembered, was withdrawn
for correction soon after the contest
began. At the present time, however,
there seems to be little prospect of
securing reasonable action from the
democrats. They believe that all of
the territory which aspires to state
hood will be democratic in politics
and they are now disposed to hold out
for four states instead of two with the
vain hope that the time will come
when they will control Congress and
can thus add eight senator's to their
ranks in the upper chamber.
