THE SENATE.

Washington, February 13.-An immense crowd was attracted to the senate today to hear the invocation of General William Booth, founder and commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army. Among the occu- pants of the galleries were Booth-Tucker. the generals chief assistant, and son-in- law. and large number of salvationists.
 When the statehood bill came up MT. Depew resumed his remarks and attacked the Mormon church because he said, ne believed it's members still cling to the practice of polygamy.
 Referring to the anti-polygamy pro- vision in the statehood bill, MT. Depew said that 1t would seem that the me Italian hand of the Mormon apostle had been at work In the preparation of the measure, and that the concentrated in- Huence of the Mormon hierarchy could be seen in the determined effort to pre- vent any amendment which would com pletely exclude polygamy. IL Is not dis- puted, he said. that the vote of the Nor mon church Is absolutely controlled by the central heirarchy of that organi2a- tion He declared that the migration of Mormons to different states and terri tories was not for the purpose of securing homes and farms, but through compact to control legislation.
 Attacks on Mormonism.
 Any legislation, Mir. Rawlins declared, in any state directed at Mormonlsm is futile, unless there Is a p1bric sentiment which will sustain the same. The ques- ton was not as to the inadequacy of the provisions against polygamy, but as to the exercise of political power. Persecu- ton is the seed of the Mormon church. he declared, and 1t did not do any good to arraign the entire people and brand every Mormon a slave, a most unjust accusation.
 ITO do that" he said. you solidfy those who would aid you in bringing about the very conditions you seek here"
 The best possible school he said, for the correction of these evils. is to emanci- pate the Mormons and leave them free to work out their own destinies.
 MT. Dubois said he did not think the references of the opponents of statehood to polygamy were serious He declared that if the statehood bill Is allowed to be put on the postoffice appropriation bill, he would consent to and advocate the placing of the Idaho constitution relating to elections as an amendment. and re- ouire Arizona and New Mexico to sub scribe to 1t before being admitted. Under the test oath of that constitution. he said, Idaho disfranchised every mem- Der of the Mormon church, and for years they were without a vote.
 After an executive session the senate adjourned until 1 o'clock tomorrow to al- low senators to attend the noon wedding of Senator Cockrells daughter

THE HOUSE.

The debate this morning was somewhat lengthy and acrimonious, verging at times on personalities which meant hereafters, but these were happily avoided. There was some long pent-up wrath toward the commission. snug berth, turned loose, and the tide arose higher as the debate proceeded. The opponents of the amend ment lost ground steadily, it's advocates being in prodding humor and provoking their antagonists to displays of temper. Before the debate was over, 1t was ap- parent that the same wave toward direct action by the people that swept the party into a state primary last year, has been growing stronger. and nothing can stand against 1t.
 No surprise was felt that when the railroad commissioners were made elec- tive, all county superintendents, those that are now appointive along with the rest, should be included In the sweep Nor that the county solicitors, wherever ther. are such officials, are to go along the elective road. This amendment was pending when the house adjourned, but some indirect votes told the tale of what will happen tomcrrow.
 No Reason Given.
 None of the opponents of the DuBose amendment this IT orning had a word to tay as to why the commissioners should not be elected by the people. confining their fight to the individuality and un- constitutionality of putting it in the elec- tion bill. Nor did the advocates of the amendment have much to say as to the reasons for the change, confining their attention to lighter, more personal and far more interesting phases of the sub ject.
 MT. Bankhead had the floor when the committee went into session, and made an argument against loading the election bill with the amendment. He feared that it would put club into the hands of the opponents of an elective commission to completely block legislation by offering amendments after every word of the election bill and consuming weeks of time.
 There was an exciting little passage between him and MT. London. MT. Lon don asked him if he was in favor of an

COCHRAN CALLS
 HEPBURN A LIE Warm Words Pass in House But
 No Trouble Results .ELKINS' BILL IS PASSED
Only Six Members Voted Against the Rebate Measure and All Were Democrats-LIttlefield Had
 Nothing to Say. '

Washington, February 13.-Under the operation of special order which cut off opportunity to offer amendments. the house, after debate of an hour today, by a vote of 21 to passed the Ellxins bill to prohibit rebates to shippers. The six members who voted against the bill were democrats. MT. LIttlefield of Maine was present but did not vote on either the rule or the bill. The democrats protested against the rigorous terms of the rule. It had been their purpose they said, to offer the provisions of the Littlefeld bill as an amendment to the bill. Mir. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, MT. Overstreet of Indiana and Mir Hepburn of Iowa, practically announced that with the pas- sage of the Ellkins bill, the antitrust Legislation for this session of congress would be complete. During the debate MT. Cochran, democrat of Missouri, branded one of MT. Hepburn's etate- ments as deliberate lie.'
 Contrary to the usual custom, this strong language had no sequel. The clash between Mir Cochran and MT Hep burn occurred while the latter was speak ing of the character of measures the democrats had voted for He said among other things that they had voted for proposition under which 1t would have been possible to fine the Pennsylvania railroad ss,0oOOOo for a single act. They would, he said, stop at nothing labelled "anti-trust"
 Debate Gets Warm.
 Then, while explaining the provisions of the pending bill, he denied a statement previously made by MT. Cochran that the bill relieved individual officers of rail- roads.
 'I say there Is no repeal from first to last in all this legislation" he was say ing. when Mir. Cochran sought to inter- rupt hlm.
 T prefer not to yield" said MT. Hep 1 burn.
 MT. Cochran: ',rhe gentleman ought not to refer to the gentleman from Mis- souri if he does not want to yield" MT. Heburn: "I ought to refer to the gentleman at any time when he deliber- ately misstates proposition"
 MT. Cochran: Then I brand that as deliberate lie. I did not deliberately misstate the question:"
 MT. Hepburn "Then ignorantly. The gentleman can take either position. I say there Is no repeal of the present the individual under the interstate com merce law"
 After the passage of the Elkins bill the remainder of the session was devoted to the sundry civil appropriation bill.
