is favored with more than ordinary
volume of buyers and the kinds in de-
mand CLEAR freely at about stationary
prices. While the outlet appears broad

against an advance in values, as cur
rent high prices are already serious
handicap to increasing outside trade

The following is the portion Of Mr..
Chandler's statement given out by
Mr.. Tillman:
son Saturday Afternoon. March 81,
1906, Il friend Of mine came into my
Office and told me Of the White House
conference Of that day i'll which an
understanding as to q limited court
review had been reached with Sena-
tor Long and others, and he told me
that the President wished to get into
communication with the Democrats
and would shortly ak HE 10 come
and see him. While he was talking
messenger boy arrived with letter
to HE from Mr.. Loeb as follows:
"'The White House, Washington,
March 81, 1906.
My Dear Senator Chandler
The President request is ne 10 say that
he will be glad to lave you como TO

''I told the messenger l would be
there.
"At The time and place appointed
the President said to me that he
wished, through me, to get into COM
munication with Mr.. 1illman. Mr..
Bailey and other Democratic Senators
He stated his purpose slowly and
carefully, and in exact substance his
statement was this: That he had
reached the conclusion that the best
plan for railroad rate legislation was
to expressly grant court review, but
to distinctly limit it to two points;
first an inquiry whether the intee-
State commerce commission had ex-
ceeded its authority. and second, an
inquiry whether the constitutional
rights of the carrier had been violat-
ed.
e.lIe said that he had been much
troubled by the advocacy Of an nn-
limited court review by some of the
lawyers Of the Senate-namins Sena-
tors Knox, Spooner and Foraker as
trying to injurc or defeat the bill by
ingenious constitutional arguments.
but that he had come to complete
disagreement with them. He made
this point emphatic BY repetition;
said that hc would 20 thus far and
no further and that his decision
would be unalterablc. lie said that
he wished to ascertain whether there
could be united action i'll the Senate
among the friends Of the bill so that
it could be surely passed without M
furious amendments, and he named
various Republican Senators who he
thought were The friends Of tie bill,
but said that it would take nearly all
the Democrats 10 carry the limitation
and defeat all obnoxious provisions.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Without
a single hitch aud with only minor
incident to mar the memorable day,
the Russian Parliament was inaugu-
rated. The weather was superb, and
the stage management Of the impress
sive ceremony in the Winter Palace,
where Emperor Nicholas, surrounded
by courtiers aud all the pomp and
panop.y Of power; delivered the
speech from the throne, to the mem
bers of the two houses, was perfect.
Such a spectacle perhaps never be-
fore has been witnessed on the earth s
stage.
The message III reality was less a
throne speech than a greeting and
required only three minutes for its
delivery.
Upon entering the chamber the En-
peror halted in the center Of the hall
and the metropolitan, Antonius, ad-
vanced to meet him and held out the
cross, which his majesty reverently
kissed. Then, bending forward, the
Emperor clasped the hand Of the met
ropolitan, raised it to his lips and
kissed it, the metropolitan return
ing the salutation.
The Empress, who had in the mean
time advanced and taken their places
on either side of the Emperor, greet
ed the sacred emblem and the repre-
sentative of the Church in similar
manner.
