Action On the Railroad Rate
Bill.
DAILY SESSIONS DURING FINAL WEEK

Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce
has reached an agreement to vote on
the various railroad rate bills on Feb.
16. There are three measures being
pressed for consideration, the Dolliver-
Clapp bill, the Elkins bill and the
Foraker bill. The measure which re-
ceives the largest number of votes will
be reported to the senate as the major
1ty measure. It is likely that both of
the other bills will be given to the
senate In minority reports.
It was agreed further that the COM
mittee shall meet on Feb and from
then until the day fixed for vote
meet every day with view of deter
mining upon some bill. The Hepburn
house bill is expected to be before
the senate by that time and that will
furnish the basis for the discussions

Toxic, Feb. Am elucidation of
The Interpolation of the minister of
war, General Terauchi, at meeting
Of the budget committee Of ihe diet
Wednesday, shows that M Oishi, lead
er of the Progressive party, interpret
lated the war minister as to the ex-
tent of the expansion of the Japanese
army, which would be necessitated by
Rn enforcement OF the provisions of
the AngloJaEanese alliance. In so
doing NJ Oishi remarked that the
British army was not undergoing de-
velopment equal to that of the British
navy and he asked If the British army
did not require Improvement in order
to avoid a one-sided responsibility
General Terauchi replied in the af-
firmative, evidently mindful, 1t is ex-
planned, of the provisions contained in
Article VII. of the agreement between
Great Britain and Japan, which was
signed on Aug. II, last, and which
provides that the naval and military
authorities of the contracting parties
will from time to time consult one an

Doubt as to Marriage Of Mrs. Yerkes
Set at Rest.

z K .s.
New York, Feb. 8. Doubt as to the
marriage of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes
to Wilson Miner was set at rest dur
Ing the day by the filing of the GER
tlfleate of the marriage with the bu-
reau of vital statistics. In addition
one newspaper quotes Mrs. Yerkes in
confirmation According to this paper
Mrs. Yerkes said
All can say is that am happily
married.
The Rev. Andrew Gillies, who per-
formed the marriage ceremony, said:
There is one phase of the marriage
that | wish to enlighten the public
about in view of the fact that it has
been insinuated from certain quarters
that the ceremony was the result of a
plot. In the first place have been a
minister for more than ten years and
my reputation assures my friends that
/ would not take part in any religious
or civil ceremony that was not en-
tirely regular.
1t is absurd to say that either of
the contracting parties was in no con-
dltion to know what was transpiring.
Mrs. Yerkes was entirely herself. She.
was self-possessed, entered with zest
into the spirit of the occasion and
answered all questions without the
slightest hesitation

Cnicaeo, Feb 3.-The national con-
vention called to consider proposed re-
forms in the supervision of life insur-
ance companies during the day turned
Its attention to the subject of uniform
legislation.
A committee of fifteen was appoint
ed to decide upon a report, which was
to be submitted to the convention later
in the day. In addition to the fifteen
active members of the committee all
the governors and members OF the
conference of commissioners on uni
form legislation were designated as
members of an advisory committee.
The governors present when the
convention opened were Johnson OF
Minnesota, Elrod of South Dakota,
Beckham of Kentucky, Davidson OF
Wisconsin, Cummins of Iowa and
Sarles of North Dakota.
Prior to the retirement of the COM
mittee for consultation Governor Beck
ham addressed the convention briefly,
assuring the delegates of his support
and that of the legislature OF Ken
lucky as far as he could give it, OF
such measures of protection for the
policyholders as shall be recommend
ed by the convention. A recess was
then taken by the convention until the
committee of fifteen declared itself
ready to report.
Committee May Postpone Action. E
"A heated debate in the committee
room developed a diversity Of opinion
among the members of the committee
regarding the proper mission OF the
committee The manifest impossible
ity of drafting legislation to be acted
upon by the present convention was
generally acknowledged.
A suggestion by A, M. Eaton OF
Rhode Island, president of the national
committee on uniform legislation,
strongly supported by Commissioner
Preuitt of Kentucky, that the commit
tee adjourn to meet subsequent to the
presentation of the report of the Arm
strong committee seemed to meet
Win general IaVOr. Inc arguments
urged in favor of this line of proce-
dure were that the report of the Arm
strong committee will contain many
valuable suggestions relative to in
surance reform and with these before
them the members of the committee
could approve such portions as they
considered valuable and then, II such
a step should seem advisable, could
employ an insurance expert to prepare
a uniform bill to be submitted to the
various legislatures.
In Difference to the committee on
resolutions, the report of which had
not yet been presented, the committee
of fifteen took recess pending the
reading of the report of the commit
tee on resolutions, intending to resume
the discussion later in the day.

TO END GRAFT IN THE ARMY
Legislation to Prevent Padding Of
Mileage Accounts.


Mileage Accounts.
Washington, Feb The house
committee on military affairs, of
which representative Hull of Iowa is
chairman, has determined to put an
end to graft in the army
II congress enacts legislation in ac-
cordance to it's recommendations mile
age accounts can no longer be padded,
nor can army transports be used for
excursions by officials, members of
congress or any one else The COM
mittee is searching for other leaks in
the laws which permit diversion of
money into the pockets of interested
parties.
"We estimate that $4,000 has been
paid out in mileage" said Representa-
tive Hull, to which the recipients
were not entitled. They got hold of
the money by evading the law which
congress has enacted for the express
purpose of introducing economy in
transportation. The intention of con-
gress was to reduce the amount of
money an officer should receive who
was under orders to the Philippines.
"The law states specifically that
only actual expenses shall be paid be-.
tween the United States and It's in
sular possessions, but we have found
that officers have been ordered to
Nagasaki, Japan, or Shanghai, or even
down to Hongkong, and thence to
Manila, travelling, with the exception
of the last leg, on government trans
ports. They have received mileage
when they should be reimbursed only
for their actual expenses and the lat
ter amount to about 81 day, while
mileage for the trip amounts into the
