FAILS TO FIT CASE.
House Bill on Railroad Rates Thought
To BE- FauIty

WASHlNGTON-COngressman Hin
fer with President Roosevelt on mat
terS pertaining to the Fourth Nebras-
ka district and also to measures pend
ing before the house relating to sub
jects Of legislation of paramount pub
lie interest. incidentally, the talk turn
ed upon the bill which Mr.. Townsend
introduced in the house January 81,
providing for additional powers to be
vested in the interstate commerce
commission. Mr.. Hinshaw expressed
the opinion that while the Townsend
bill would meet the public demand for
a better regulation of railroads rates,
it does not go far enough, and since
that bill will be considered by the
house within few days, Mr.. HinshaW
desired to learn whether its provisions
would be satisfactory to the admins
tration. The president, however, did
not express approval or disapprOval of
the Townsend bill. but Mr.. Hinshaw
left the white house with the impress
sion that the president would like to
the present session enact a law en-
powering the interstate commerce
commission to fix rates, to prevent
discrimination between shippers, to
abolish private car lines, and to give
the commission authority TO enforce
its DEGREES.
Mr.. Hinshaw is of opinion that
nothing short of such legislation
would satisfy his constituents, but he
is not at all sanguine that the senate
would pass such a bill while it is not
yet settled that the house will do so.

A Well Deserved Tribute.

The awarding of the Grand Prize to the Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn., q: the st.
Louis Exposition, cOnfers upon this company the
highest mark of distinction attained by any manu-
facturer of guns ammunition In the world.
Although great number of medals were given to
this class OF manufacturers, the only award of q
Grand Prize was to the Winchester Repeating Arms
Co.; and given as 1t was IN competition with the lead
Ing manufacturers of all countries, it testfes in
most decided way to the superiority Of Winchester
rifles, shOtguns and ammunition over all other makes.
The success attained by the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co. at this exposition is simply in line with the
honOrs received in the past At the Paris Exposition
Winchester arms and ammunition received the
Grand PriX; and wherever they have been exhibited
they have always been given the highest possible
prizes This latest recognition of superiority is the
natural result of thirty years of careful and
full eDdeavor in maintaining the high quality Of
Winchester rifles, shutguns and ammunition.

WORK THIS WEEK
ELECTORAL VOTE WILL BE CAN
vASSED WEDNESDAY,.
VOTE ON THE STATEHOOD BILL
All Amendments and Measure Itself
to Be Disposed of at Once-RaI-
road Rate Legislation Has the
Right of Way in House.

| WASHINGTON-The senate has
laid out an extended program for it
self this week. According to this
plan Monday and Tuesday will be
| given over almost entirely to the
statehood bill. Wednesday the SEN
ate will proceed to the hall of repre-
sentatives and assist in canvassing
| the electoral vote On Monday the
statehood bills will be displaced tenn
| porarily to permit the managers of
| the Swayne Impeachment trial to
| present the replication of the house
of representatives to Judge Swaynes
answer in the proceedings against
him, but it is not expected that they
will consume much time. Appropria-
ton bills will occupy the balance OF
the time during the week.
The republican steering committee
mas decided that the pure food bill
shall become the unfinished business
after the disposal of the statehood
bill, but it is not believed that much
if any time will be found this week
for its consideration.
The agricultural appropriation is
now under consideration and will con-
tinue to be discussed as opportunity
offers and it is expected that by the
time it is out of the way the District
of Columbia and the Indian. bills will
be ready for consideration. With the
statehood bill out of the way, the pol
hn tn hn hi
persistently and nothing but the
Swayne trial will be permitted to
stand in their way.
In accordance with the unanimous
agreement reached the statehood bill
and all amendments offered to it will
be voted on before adjournment on
Tuesday.
The contest over some of the
amendments to the bill will be sharp
and may continue the session into
the night.
Railroad rate legislation is to have
the right of way in the house of rep
resentatives during Monday and Tues
day and Wednesday. The rule max
ing the bill giving the Interstate Com
merce commission power to fix rates
a special order during sessions which
are to begin an 4-our earlier than
usual On Tuesday and Wednesday will
be the subject of lively debate on
Monday. Opposition to the bill which
has been agreed on by the republi-
cans on the committee of interstate
commerce will be voiced in the de-
bate on this rule This opposition
may come from the minority deYel-
oped in the republican conference
Friday, as well as from the democrats
of the house. If the two should unite
to defeat the rule those who have
counted noses say this could be ac-
complished. Should the rule be
adopted, as is the belief of the ma
iority leaders, there will be no oppor-
tunity to amend the bill. The demo-
Gratis will be given an opportunity
to show their strength on the Davy
bill to be offered as a substitute for
the Esch-Townsend bill, when the
time comes to vote on that measure |
at o'clock Wednesday. The discus |
sion will be interrupted on Wednes- !
day to permit the two houses of con- |
greSS to assemble in the hall of the !
house and count the electoral vote |
for president and vice president.
