BILLS REPRESENT
EXECUTIVE 'SVIEWS
RAILROAD RATES MEASURES
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Expected to Hasten Action in That
Body, as They Show Definitely
What the Administration
Desires
Special to The IIeraid.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16,--Two bills,
which are regarded as embodying the
administrations views on legislation
required for the regulation of,railroad
rates and the abolition of rebates, were
introduced in the house today by Rep
resentatives Esch of Wisconsin and
Hamilton of Michigan. one extends
the powers of the einterstate commerce
commission in accordance with the
recommendations OF the presidents
message, and the other creates court
of transportation, with powers equal
to that of federal circuit courts to deal
exclusively with railroad rate business.
These bills are simple in their provis-
ions and were drawn up by their
authors after repeated conferences with
the president and Attorney General
Moody.
The actual drafting of the bills it is
understood, was supervised by Assist
ant Attorney General Day, who is the
department Of Justice expert on trust
and railroad litigation. The introduce
ton ofbthese measures is expected to
crystallize sentiment in the house and
to hasten action in sthat body as they
show what the administration wants,
There has, been much divergence of
opinion on the question of railroad
legislation in the house committee on
commerce, but the members of the
committee are now expected to get
together on a measure that will have
the Esch and Hamilton bills as basis.
Chairman Hepburn of the committee
has also drafted a bill, but has not in
troduced it yet Some of it's provisions
as published are understood not to
meet the views of the, administration,
and to this fact is in part attributed
the presentation of the other bills to-
day.
Hepburn's bill is thought to be too
favorable to the railroads and too COM
plicated in some of it's provisions.
1t is expected the commerce commit
tee will report to the house shortly a
bill meeting substantially the wishes
of the administration, and it is hoped
this will pass the house in the next
three weeks. There is very little hope,
however that the senate will take any
action on railroad legislation at this
session. The president realizes this,
but he is determined to get such legis-
lation next winter, and for that rea-
son continues to declare his purpose
to call an extra session in the fall

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16,-By vote
of 80 to 42 the senate today decided to
consider the cross-town street railway
. II for Washington, but the measure
soon gave place to the statehood bill.
That measure was discussed for three
hours by Messrs. Simmons and Hey
hurn, both of whom favored the elimi-
nation of Arizona Troal the bill.
Mr.. Simmons of North Carolina spoke
against the bill in its present form.
He made a plea against the proposed
state of Arizona on the ground of area,
saying that the average distance from
the counties included in the present
territory of Arizona to Santa Fe, the
croposed new capital, was 500 miles
He contended that. as shown in the
case of the division of Dakota into two
states the tendency was toward
smaller instead of larger states ana
aided that Arizona and New Mexico
were twice as large as both the Da-
kotas together.
ldr. Hepburn also spoke against the
union of New Mexico ana Arizona, ex-
pressing the opinion that ths popula-
tion west of the Mississippi would be
three times as great as that east of the
liver. He contended that the people Of
Arizona were in every way capable Of
making a state for themselves, and he
ointed out the mark I'd difference in
race, religion and training of the people
of Arizona compared with those of New
Mexico, which should. he said, entltlf
them TO separate statehood.
MIR. Hepburn said that he would, II
| necessary, agree to the consolidation

GREAT STRIKE IN RUSSIA
Government Work Tied UP and So

Government Work Tied Up and So
ciaist Demonstration Likely
BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 16.-Twelve
thousand men at the Poutiloff Iron
Works struck today.
The strike is the result of the refusal
of the manager to reinstate four work
men who were dismissed tor belonging
to a union and to discharge a foreman
on demands formulated by the union,
which represents twenty industries.
The works are idle in all departments.
The socialists are trying to seize the
opportunity for the organization of
sympathetic strikes in other industries
in st. Petersburg with the object of
creating an anti-government demon
stration. The union was originally or
ganized by M. Doubaloff under the
instruction Of the late Minister Won
Plehve in order to combat the Social
Democrats, but the latter are now in
control and are using the union as an
instrument in their hands.
Inc foulllol lIoH WorhS are exc
cutting large government contracts for
small arms, rapid-fire cannon and To-
comotives, which fact probably will
induce the authorities to make an eff
fort for adjustment of the difficulties
between the workmen and their en-
ployers.
A conference of ma sters and men
having peen fruitless. 1t was decided
tonight by the employees of three other
works to strike tomorrow, making a
total of 10000 strikers.

In Memory of the Men Who Lost
Their Lives in the Explosion
At the Keystone Powder
Works, Monday, Nov.
9th, 1905.

1t was on Monday morning.
And brightly shown the sun.
Upon the goodly people
In the town of Emporium
No trouble did disturb their minds,
No danger did they fear.
AS they took their daily tasks.
Not dreaming death was near.
The boys up at the Keystone plant,
Were working side by side,
With kindly words and willing hands,
The hours did swiftly glide.
finer band of working men,
Could not with ease be found,
They were all honest, brave and true.
A nd credit to our town.
But deaths dread angel lowered near,
To summon these good men,
70 meet their doom by dynamite,
AS the village clock struck ten;
No chance had they to speak or pray,
Or bid their friends farewell,
And clasp their dear ones TO their hearts.
Their last kind words to tell.
And when the great explosion came,
Our hearts were filled with woe,
For then we knew some precious ones.
In death had been laid low.
To fragments were their bodies rent
And scattered to the winds,
Alas! it was a fearful way,
For them to meet their end.
We will miss each kindly face,
At home and on the street,
And father, mother, wife and child
No more their loved ones greet,
But day by day Iuo earnest prayers,
Unto Our Lord are given,
That they have found resting place,
With the angels up in heaven.
