Says There Will Be
Legislation.
(By. Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON October 5.-Ralroad
rate legislation was the topic Of a long
conference this afternoon between the
President and Representative Townsend,
Of Michigan, one Of the authors of the
Esch- Townsend bill. Mr.. Townsend said
aiterward that 1t was his purpose to
Z ton in the House as soon as Congress
convened. He continued:
After making 1t perfectly clear that
the provisions of tho measure apply to
rriyate cars, refrigerator cars and ter
minal charges, 1t will be my purpose
through the measure to confer upon the
Interstate Commerce u Commission the
power to make Its findings in any par
ticular case. effective within reason
able time after they are announced. Eff
forts nave been made to create the i'm
preston that It Is the purpose OF the
advocates of this legislation to give the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
authority to fix all the rates Of a rail-
road That is not true It Is intended only
that the commission, II complaint shall
bio made to 1t that any particular rate
is unjust, shall have power after due
Investigation. to substitute a reasonable
rate In case the complaint shall have
been shown to be we'll founded"
8ttDo you expect that rate legislation
will be enacted during the approaching
session of Congress 2"
II have no doubt of IT," replied Mr..
Townsend t'The House has indicated
where It stands on that proposition and
I believe there Is a strong working ma
Jority in the Senate In favor OF such q
measure" 5s

Z WASHINGTON, b. e.. October 6.---Ths
action OF tho President in appointing
General Robert D. Johnston. q Democrat,
and an old Confederate soldier to the
position OF receiver Of public moneys for
tho Laftffss Office at Montgomery, Ala, Is
but conflrmntory OF what has been said
In this correspondence recently to the eff
feet that President Roosevelt sees very
clearly that no needs the aid OF southern
Democrats in carrying out his govern
mental policy. 1t Is also evidence that
he Is determined to have II. Is .s
a Tho signs OF the times all indicate that
the President Is already assured of the
support of tho senator's and members OF
the House from tho South In the strug-
gle he Is about to inaugurate for the
regulation OF railway rates, and for the
revision OF the tariff. It has been clearly
demonstrated that the standpattcrs are
In control OF the Republican party. The
wing Of the party opposed to any change
ina tariff schedules is clearly In tho ma
jority. Tho President Is determined as
ever. IT, is said. that duties shall DO res
duced and he must see that to accom-
epllsh this the help Of the Democrats will
+ be essential. The Demo crats VIII be
unit In favor Of the reduction.

The Stuart Order.

Little less significant than the appoint
ment OF tho Alabama Democrat to oHlce
was the order which the President al :
rected DO issued to Collector Jeb Stuart,
81 Newport News, commanding him to re-
iinstate the two Democratic clerks ne re-
Gently denoted In order to make room
for the promotion OF two Republicans.
The intense opposition5to Collector Stuart
engendered by his almost unexampled
IA rtisanry Indicated to 4 the President
very plainly that he was being defeated in
his object in appointing Stuart to the
collectorshlp of Newport News, which
was to popularlzo the Republican party
IN Virginia. The President has acted very
promptly in endeavoring to undo Tho evil
accomplished by Stuart. And Mr.. Stuart
probably has headache.
The avowed Republican presidential!
nominees are looking harder at Cortel-
Won now than ever before. Tho positive
announcement that Cortelyou would be
appointed to the position of Secretary
4 OF the treasury on the retirement OF
Secretary Shaw the list of February, has
caused the belief that Mr. Cortelyou Is
the administration candidate for Presi-
dental fonors. Secretary Root has re-
Gently been looked upon as the Presi-
DENTS candidate, but the suspicion Is
growing that 1t is Cortelyou who has re-
deived the imprimatur 81 the White
Of. which there was considerable talk
six months ago is not being pushed.
That Of Fairbanks has received a dis
,tlnctly cool reception. Shaw Is evidently
doing moro than any Of the others to-
capture the prize. Root is at work in
the state Department, and there has not
been heard a word from him as to his
candidacy. Cortelyou Is coming to tho
front. There looks to be ground for the
belief that the President Is forcing him
there.
