Toxic March Ga report received

of the Japanese on the left has captured

MONDAY EVENING, MAR. s, 1905.

TuF CONGRESS which closed On Satur-
dav has been remarkable chiefly for what
has not been done. No important legls-
lation of any kind has been enacted INTO
law 1t didn't revise he tariff; it didn' t
provide for the regulation OF freight
rates; it didn't open free trade with the
Philippines aud it killed the arbitration
treaties, pure food bill and the statehood
bill. But the leaders say the way has
been prepared for action of the utmost
public interest in the next Congress. The
House stands committed to the Presi-
dents policy of corporation regulation,
and the line between those who stand
with the President and those who oppose
the reforms he would inaugurate has
been clearly drawn. The public UNDER
stadds who are its foes in the national
legislature, and should keep watch up
on them. While no decisive action oil any
kind has been taken, the session just
closed afforded opportunity for the pre-
liminary skirmiShes between the cham
MONS and the enemies of the public in
terest in which skirmishes the "stand
matters" won out. and though they were
forced to make promises, no one need be
surprised if at the end of the next session
:he presidents policies are no nearer
being adopted than they are today.

In OPPOSITION to the large and un-

by Congress last week, the Philadelphia
Record says;
Germany and France are running a

in the contest. France and Germany
are adjoining countries aud hereditary
rivals. Neither of them is dangerous to

WHEN the railroad rate bill passed
the House almost unanimously the vote
was recorded under call Of the yeas
and Maya proceeding that was quite
unnecessary. The members wished in
this way to persuade their constituents
of their great regard for the public
interests, while they neither expected
nor intended that the bill should become
a law, knowing that the Senate would
smother it. But when the navy bill,
carrying an appropriation of $780,
900 600, was passed they refused to call
the yeas and nays, and were counted by
tellers. They were not certain about
the wisdom of the navy bill, and in view
of the vaeilations of public opinion they
were not at all DESTROYS of making a
record that one day might rise up
against them.

To KEEP the President in good humor
the Senate passed a resolution directing
its fiAauce committee to make an inves'
tigation OF customs and international
revenue taxation with a view to such
modification and revision as may be
deemed proper. This will give an Op-
portunity to gather information for the
future use of Senators, both in favor OF
and against the policy of revision. AS
the House alone is empowered to origi-
nate revenue legislation the lAove would
be of greater public interest if it had
been undertaken by the gays and means
committee of that body. The appoint
ment of commissions. however. is only a
means of dallying. There will be no
tariff revision in the public interest until

Some time today 400 Others will arrive,

The men were secured by "Strike-
breaker" James Farley. They come
from Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis,
