Republicans Adopt IL as a Party
Measure.
The Opposition Wanted a Postpone
ment But Was Defeated by An
Overwhelming Vote.
DEBATE WILL OCCUPY ONE DAY

Washington, Feb 1.-THE Repub-
Leans of the house in confer snce
yesterday afternoon adopted as
party measure the bill extending
rate making powers to the inter-
state and foreign commerce commits
sion, as agreed upon by the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and known as the Esch-
Townsend bill. The conference in
structed the house committee on
rule to bring in a rule providing for
consideration of the measure be-
ginning at IL O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing next and continuing until 4
o'clock Wednesday, when a vote
shall be taken. No amendments will
be allowed to the bill, although the
first vote is to be taken on the Da-
vey bill, as the Democratic substi-
tute for legislation on the railway
rate subject.
The conference which lasted three
hours. developed opposition to the
measure. The only test vote taken
was on a motion to postpone the
matter for further conference next
Tuesday. This was lost, "A to 107.
Efforts were made to amend the bill
during the conference but failed
Fault was found with bill on the
ground that it did not include regu-
lation for the private car evil and
terminal charges. Advocates of the
bill contested these criticisms, claim
ing that authority was contained in
the bill to correct the complained OF
evils.
The change of the meeting from
a caucus, as the call stated, to a
conference" leaves the members
participating free to follow their
own inclinations. 1t is understood
that the opposition may organize
with the purpose of joining the mi
nority in the house in a vote on the
rule prescribing the manner of con-
s.deration of the bill in the house.
These plans, however. have not been
actually and definitely decided on.

Worse i'm Many Years.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 4.-The
worst conditions in many years pre-
vail on the lower Ohio river. The
gorge at Cloverport. KY, which form
ed the first OF the week. is growing,
and is said to be almost fifty miles
in length. People are crossing the
river at Cloverport on the gorge. The
gorge at French Islands is holding
intact, and a new gorge several miles
in length formed at Newburg, Ind,
ten miles above this city. A gorge
is forming a quarter OF mile above
the city, and another is forming
about a half mile below here, which
promises to I'll the channel of the
river in a few hours. A gorge is al
so reported at the Louisville & Nash
Vile railroad bridge at Henderson,
Ky. A large gorge is forming at the
mouth of the Wabash river that
promises to become several miles in
length. Green river is frozen over
for the first time in many years, and
all boats are tied up. Pond and
Rough rivers are frozen over solidly,
and the Wabash is one solid sheet of
ice from Terre Haute to its mouth.

Reported the l. C...Has Bought
the Iron Furnaces There.
Rumored II VIII Make Its Own Iron
and Start a Rolling Mil
There Soon.
NO CONFIRMATION RECEIVED.

A rumor that II is impossible to
either deny or confirm is now agitat-
ing the people of Grand Rivers, KY,
and vicinity.
II is not known who started the
rumor. but 1t seems well founded
enough to justify lots of people in
believing It. The iron furnaces were
built years ago at Grand Rivers by
Thomas w. Lawson. of "Frenzied FL
nance" fame, and the little town has
lived through several blooms"
According to report the Illinois
Central has bought the furnaces to
operate and make iron solely for its
own use. There is plenty of ore in
that vicinity, and with the railroad
using its unlimited facilities to get it
IL is believed that II could make iron
cheaper than anyone else, and cheap
er than it can buy 1t.
The Grand Rivers furnaces were
only recently put in good shape and
run for a time, but soon suspended
again. They are said to be among
the finest and most complete in the
country, the great difficulty always
having been that the ore was mac
cessible.
A report in connection with that
that the Illinois Central has bought
the furnaces to operate for its own
benefit is that it will establish a roll
ing mill at Grand Rivers, which
would make the dead little town one
of the most important in this section
of the state.
1t is impossible to find out how
much truth there is in the report. as
there is no one here who knows any
thing about what the road has done
If the furnaces have been purchased
it was through officials at Chicago.

occurred In the central and ea%st-central
counties-where effects of the drought
were the most serious-and showers,
more or less heavy, were general over
the state.
The total rainfall at those stations

In most of the southwest counties
conditions were favorable for farm
work, and blowing and corn planting
progressed satisfactorily. and was
completed in most counties; elsewhere,
with one or two exceptions. gil farm
work has been practically at a stand
still since the cath, owing to wet con-
ditions of the soil. The warm weather
vegetation growing rapidly, but
warmth and sunshine is needed for
corn termination.
Wheat is making vigorous growth,
and the consensus of opinion of cor
respondents is that the condition Is
excellent: rye is doing well.
Oats are coming to good stand, but
warmth and sunshine are now essen
tial for rapid growth; meadows are in
fair condition, and all grasses have
made marked Improvement since the
rains.
Cotton planting made satisfactory
advancement; it is terminating we'll
and coming to good stand in Dunkiin,
New Madrid and Pemiscot counties.
Correspondents in some Of the south
ern counties state that peaches and
plums have been killed to a greater or
less extent by recent low temperatures,
and in som localities Strawberries
