LA TOILETTE TO WEAR TOGA.
Compromise Leaves Him Free to Ac-
cept Senatorship.

MADISON, Wis, April 2S.-Gover-
nor La Toilette, it is stated, has &C
cepted the compromise railway bill,
and will sign it when it passes both
houses of the legislature, and thus be
free to accept the United States SEN
atorship.
The governor has gained practically
every point he contended for. He gets
a state railroad commission with the
power to fix rates. The stalwarts, who
held out against MIN so long, finally
yielded to his demands, securing only
the few concessions that enabled them
20 retreat gracefully.
The compromise bill was completed
today and Will be reported next week
as a substitute for the Hatten bill.
The last concession made by the ad-
ministration that no rate fixed by the
commission shall go into effect for 60
days, has been accepted by the stall
warts. 1t does away with the idea that
an appeal can act as a stay of pro-
ceedings, and leaves the injunction as
the only means of redress for the rail-
way companies.
The compromise was worked out by
Halford E. Erickson, labor commits
sioner. and T. H. Gill, attorney for the
wisconsin Central railway.
Mr.. Erickson and the present railroad
commissioner, J. W. Thomas, are said
to have been elected as two members
of the new railroad commission. The
third must be railroad expert. Each
commissioner will serve six years and
receive a salary of $4,000.
The legislature adjourned for Eas-
ter week and returned Monday to
the remaining work of the session
which will occupy three, or possibly
four, weeks

not been more than half thresned ont

'I'd obey in jiffy-if you'd tell me

Miss Barry was all occurrences for a

said glibly, "but I'm going right on

around to the rear of the house. "YOu

"NOw just make yourself comfortable

proceeded rather OStentatiously to

and napkins on the adjoining rose
bushes, while her caller looked on in
shocked, speechless amazement.
''Oh, l say! You oughtn't to do this,

Miss Barry became sweetly pensive

Trent murmured something, he did
not precisely know what, so busy he
was trying to think what it must be

the saving of dollar so great thing.
Brenda covertly watched him with
fendish delight, which was, it is true,
modified when she discovered that his
surprise was changing into a sort Of
awed admiration.
Still she managed to convey to him
