WASHINGTON, DC, Dec. I'm
accordance with the request of the Red

bill today providing for the repeal of
the present charter and reincorpora-
ton. The measure authorizes the crea-
ton, in the District of Columbia, of a
body corporate and politic~by commit

Miss Clara Barton, and including near
ly all of those who opposed Miss Bar
tons regime as president. This body

WOULD CUT DOWN
REPRESENTATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Sen
ator Platt, of New York, today intro
duced a bill to reduce the representa-
tion in congress of Southern states that
have disfranehised the negro voter. The
measure would lessen the membership
in congress by nineteen. The bill and
a statement issued by Senator Platt
were referred to the committee on CEN
sus. The statement follows:
This bill is framed upon the lowest
limitation possible and treats as excluded
from the suffrage only the male negro
citizen over twenty-one years of age,
under the 1900 census tables published
since the apportiOnment act of Jan. 16.
1901. The aggregates actually excluded
from the suffrage in each of the states
mentioned are in truth larger than those
used as the basis for this act: If all
should be deemed to be excluded, the re-
duction in representation, figured from the
same tables, would be nearly twice as
great as stated in this bill.
1t requires no evidence beyond the no.
tOrious historical fact for congress to ad-
Judge what cannot be denied, that the
class of negro nliterates. to the extent
stated, is practically excluded from the
suffrage in the states mentioned in the
bin, no matter what may be nominal pro-
election laws. The bill, therefore, pre-
sentS the smallest reduction practicable
and is very conservative. How much fur
ther, meritoriOuSly considered. the reduc-
tion should extend can readily be arrived
at by more specifically regarding the ac-
to each state In treating fractions of
representation, the benefit has been given
in favor of the representation, according
to the size of the fractions. The "ap-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. THE
senate today reached a decision to
vote on the Philippine civil govern
ment bill providing for the construc-
ton of railroads in the islands on the
18th inst.
Mr.. Platt IN. W created a stir by
introducing a bill providing for re-
duetion of the congressional represen-
tation Of the Southern states on the
ground that many of the citizens Of
those states deprived of their right to
vote, and Mr.. Scott plunged the senate
into debate by attempting to secure the
passage of the bill granting pensions
to the telegraph operators of the Civil
war. A large number of bills and joint
resolutions were introduced and many
petitions were presented. There is a
general understanding that the Christ
mas holiday recess will begin on the
18th inst.

would exceed our profit. The common

excessive. If there is to be change
let it be in the other direction and
then let the shipper assume the re-

J. J. Flood, traffic manager for the

cessive and more than recompenSes the

gladly accept rates as they are as a

A. A. Sprague, of Sprague. Warner &

years and did not intend to use it.

margin of profit" said he, and if the
freight rate was increased 20 per cent,

Mr.. Sprague submitted statistics of

paid was less than per cent

RAILROADS PROTEST
NEW BILL OF LAD|NG
Several Lines Give Notice That
They Will Not Use
the Form

CHICAGO, Dec. Tt was positively
stated today before the interstate
commerce commission that if in order
to secure the common law liability
service in shipping freight 20 per cent
additional cost is required of shippers,
the price of groceries will rise, and the
burden of the, increased freight rate
will fall upon the consumer.
Another important development was
the introduction of several letters from
railroads, particularly a communication
from the Illinois Central railroad, as
serting that some of the transportation
companies absolutely refuse to use the
proposed new uniform bill of lading.
This proved distinct surprise to at
torneys for many other roads repre-
sented before the commission.
The Illinois Central letter was from
w. E. Keeper, general traffic manager
of the company. The letter read:
"The Illinois Central railroad does
not use the present bill of lading nor,
will it use the proposed uniform bill to
be put in force Jan. l. We are in the
official classification territory, but we
will ignore this new bill"
A letter from S. ]. Cook, general
freight agent of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, stated that road will not adopt
the uniform shipping receipt. E. E.

railroad, wrote that it win not be OBJ

HEAD MEN AT TABLE.
Railroad Traffic Officials Dine
Together and Talk

NEW YORK, Dec. IA conference
of. railroad presidents has just been
held at the Metropolitan club, where
the real or official heads of nearly all
great railroad systems of the United
States dined as the guests of Edward
p. Ripley, president of the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe Nothing was
made public as to the result of the de-
liberations which ensued.
There were fourteen at the table,
and besides the host, who represented
his own road, there were: George j.
Gould, representing the Missouri Pa
cific and Wabash systems; Edward HI.
Hartman, the head of the Union,
Southern and Central Pacific systems;
Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chi
cago & North w Western; Samuel Spen-
Ger, president of the Southern railway;
Roosevelt Miller, chairman of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul board of
directors; A. J. Cassatt, president of
the Pennsylvania; William Fl. TrueS-
dale, president of the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western; William III. New
man, president of the New York Cen
trail; Charles S. Mellen, president of
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford; President Earling, of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul; B. l..
Winchell, president of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific: Robert Mather,
president of the Rock Island company,
and F. D. Underwood, president of the
Erie.
When President Ripley is in town he
lives at the Metropolitan club. He got
here from the West Tuesday morning.
For some time, it is said, he has been
convinced that there were certain mat
ters relating to the running of Apaeri-
can railroads and phases of what
might perhaps be called political queS-
tions, having direct bearing on rail-
roading, that ought to be frankly dis
cussed by the heads of the leading
companies. With this object in view
invitations to the dinner were sent out
and Mr.. Ripley came on from the
West especially for it. Every man
present had something to say, and, it
is understood, spoke his mind freely.
The exact nature of the discussion
could not be learned, but one of those
present said that some sort of state
ment might be given out at later
date. 1t was added, however. that all
those present had more satisfactory
feeling regarding certain great ques-
tions affecting American railroads
when the conference ended.
