There was some talk about the
senate of a railroad rate measure
compromise, the suggestion being
that either the Elkins or the Foraker
bills should be made part Of the
Dolliver bill. so that two courses of
procedure could be open to the COM
mission in regard to complaints re-
garding rates, one by the commission
itself and the other by recourse to
the courts. In case this program was
adopted 1t Is thought rate bill could
be passed in the senate with very
little opposition. The suggestion has
not taken such definite shape as to
receive serious consideration, but
may be brought before the commit
tee on interstate commerce at its
meeting on Friday.
The house statehood bill was re-
ported favorably to the senate by
Mr.. Beveridge, chairman of the COM
mittee on territories, by whom the
bill had been under consideration in
the committee for three days. No
announcement was made by Mr..
Beveridge in reporting thes bill. Mr..
Patterson, from the territories COM
mittee, gave notice that there would
be a minority report.
What is considered strike at the
railroads was taken by the house In
the adoption of a resolution calling
on the president to furnish informa-
ton as to the existence of an alleg-
ed violation of the interstate COM
merce, between the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore and Ohio, Norfolk and
Western, Shesapeak and Ohio, North
ern Central and Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington railroad COM
panies. Opposition to the resolution
did not develop until after 1t had
been declared by tie speaker. AT
this point Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
moved against it with a motion to
reconsider the resolution without a
two.thirds vote of the house.
The house gave its unanimous con-
sent to begin tomorrow the consid-
Grafton of the Hepburn railroad rate
bill and continue with the same I'M
til the bill shall be disposed OF.
TuecIay, January 30.
Washington.-The senate will be-
gin the week with the consideration
of the Chinese boycott. The ques-
ton will come up in connection with
resolution offered last week by
Senator Tillman, directing the COM
mittee on immigration to investigate
the reports concerning Chinese oppo-
sition to American manufactures.
When the resolution was presented
Mr.. Tillman asked for immediate con-
sideratlon, but Mr.. Aldrlch objected
to it. 1t is understood that he and
other Republican senators dislike the
preamble to the resolution, which as
sumes as fact the reported leader
ship of former Minister WI Ting
Fang in the boycott movement. Mr..
Tillman is disposed to insist upon
the retention of this phraseology. II
he does not change his mind the re-
solution doubtless will lead to a con-
siderable airing Of the Chinese ques-
ton.
Senator Gallinger will make an
effort to secure further consideration
of the shipping bill and 1t is his pur-
pose to press that measure upon the
attention of the senate as insistently
as the circumstances will permit. In
this policy he will be supported, at
least for the present, by many Re-
publican senators. 1t is suspected
by some of the friends of the ship
ping Lill that there is disposition
to keep the measure In its place for
the purpose of holding off the state
hood bill, but they say that, while
they are not prepared to let go OF
the shipping bill for the present, they
can displace 1t whenever so disposed
with the statehood bill. The antagon-
lists Of statehood do not admit this,
and 1t looks as the fight over the adj
mission of new states might be initia-
ted in this way. 1t is not probable,
however. that this stage Of the con-
test Will be reached for some time.
Mr.. Gallinger will offer further
amendments to his bill on Monday.
and either then or later in the week
