"Wednesday. January 81.

Washington, Jan. 3l.-Discusslon OF
the railroad rate bill continued in the
house today. Incident to it two
speeches, the efforts of Campbell, OF
Kansas, and Martin, of South Dakota,
took wide range and swept the hori-
zon of "trust evils" generally. Bart
lett, of Georgia, a minority member OF
the committee reporting the bill, made
a two hours epeech, in which he dis
cussed the legal and constitutional
questions involved and advocated the
passage of the bill as proper remedy
for an intolerable condition. The first
speech in opposition to the bill, which
concluded the days discussion, was

Tuesday, January 80.

Washington, Jan. 80. - Members of
the house evinced a more general in
terest in the discussion of the railroad
rate bill throughout today than in any
other topic of legislation for some time.
The debate throughout was listened to
attentively and many questions were
asked of the different speakers to bring
out either obscure points in the meas
ure, or evils complained OF, which no
attempt had been made to include in
the bill. The debate was opened by
Townsend, of Michigan. Adams, OF
Georgia, representing the minority, fol-
lowed in commendation of the measure,
and in praise of President Roosevelt's
stand on the question. Hinshaw, of
Nebraska, depicted the benefit the leg
islation would do to the great trans
Mississippi country, and Richardson,
Of Alabama, discussed as Democrat
things DOM and left undone in the
m eaeuIe.

Will Test Dry Farming.

Washington, Jan. 31.-While the de-
partment of Agriculture does not deny
three is merit in what is known as the
Campbell system of dry farming and
while it is willing that all credit for
that comparatively new system shall go
to its instigator, there is a strong belief
in the minds of irrigation officials of
that department that the system should
be carefully studied by the government
in order that it's limita ions as we'll as
it's benefits may be discovered.

Nav Compromise on Rates.

Washington, Jan. 81. - There was
some talk about the senate today Of a
railroad rate measure compromise, the
suggestion being that either the Elkins
or the Foraker bill should be made a
part of the Dolliver bill, so that two
courses of procedure could be opened to
the commission in regard to the COM
plant regarding rates, one by the COM
mission itself and the other by recourse
to the courts. In this way, it is
thought a rate bill could be passed.

sorry to differ from his Democratic col

MINERS WILL STRIKE.
Every Mine in Country To Be Tied
.Up Till Better Pay is Secured.


indianapolis, Ind, Feb o. The re-
lection of the counter proposition offer
ed by the coal operators of the central
competitive district by an almost unan-
imous vote of the National convention
OF the United Mineworkers, and the
adoption of resolution offered by Sec
retary Ryan, of Illinois, placing the
miners on record as unit in refusing
to sign an agreement for any district
until an agreement was signed for all
districts under the jurisdiction OF the
United Mineworkers, has created a
situation which, in the opinion of the
officials of the miners organization,
will result in the disruption of the
Joint agreement and probably one Of
the greatest strikes OF organized labor
the country has ever known.
Immediately after the rejection of
the operators proposition the conven-
tion set about to provide means for &C
cumulating strike fund of $4,000, 900
in addition to a like amount now on
deposit in the international, district
and sub-district treasures of the min
ers organizations. To provide for an
emergency Secretary Wilson moved
that per capita tax of 81 week be
voted and that all districts take care of
the dependent miners within their
jurisdiction tor at least six weeks.
He said that after that time he believed
the international organization would be
in position to take care of the miners.
After the motion had been amended to
substitute ten weeks for six as the time
during which the districts should care
for their dependents, the matter was
referred to the international executive
board with power to act.

Monday, January 20.

Washington Jan. 29.-T The Chinese
boycott and the administration of the
forest reserves divided the attention of
the senate today. The Chinese ques-
tion came up in connection with reso-
luton OF Tillman, directing an investi.
CATION by the committee on immigra-
ton. Tillman modified the resolution
by omitting the major portion of the
preamble, and, after considerable dis
cussion, it WAS referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses.
Hepburn raised the question regard
ing the reservation of forests. He
sharply criticized the methods of the
Forestry bureau and charged it with
maintaining press bureau for the pur-
pose OF attacking him. He declined,
however, to hold the president respon-
sible for this course. He said that the
course was calculated to retard the de-
velopment of the West.

a moment today prospect that the
statehood bid would receive its tirst
formal reading in that body, always the
initial step in the consideration OF any
measure reported from committee.
The senate took up the calendar imme-
diateIy after disposing of the routine
business and, as the statehood bill oc-
cupied the first place, the secretary had
begun to read it before any OF it's oppo
nents realized the situation. He had
covered but q Jew pages when Teller
put a stop to the proceedings tor the
time. Z
The shipping bill was made the basis
of a running debate between Patterson
in opposition and Gallinger and Per-
kins in support.
At the conclusion of this debate
bill authorizing the treasury to investi'
gate certain Missouri state war claims
was passed.

Back in old London the Drury Lane
Theater, venerable playhouse, gave

Of the sky. The artist placed in this
