dustries, and for this reason and others
he would vote against the bill
Senator Bailey announced his convic-
ton that the bill was vast improve
ment over the existing law, and said he
would vote for it.
IF not perfect, it can be amended, and
if the carriers do not respect and obey
this milder law, Congress will pass law
with teeth in it--with teeth of metal
that will hurt" he said. He thought
some mistakes had been made In voting
down amendments, "but even with
these DEFICIENCIES the bill deserved to
receive not only the votes of Congress,
but in some degree the approval of the
people. If the carriers evade it, on them
will fall the consequences, he said.
"If the law proves insufficient, our
successors will remedy our mistakes" he
said. "They can and will only complete
their work when they write out the
maximum rate and write in the absolute
rate, it is for the shippers to decide
whether there shall be drastic law"
Anxious as were Senators by this time
to reach vote, there was nevertheless
much interest manifested when Senator
Tillman took the floor. After ANNOUNCE
ing his intention to vote for the bill as
1.-THE best he could get," he entered upon
the task of acknowledging the instru-
mentality of the President in securing
the legislation.
He came bluntly to the point, saying
"But for the work of Theodore Roose-
welt in bringing this matter to the atten-
ton of the country, we would not have
had any bill at ALL 1t is true that the
idea was not his, and that the demand
for the legislation was made in three
Democratic platforms; nevertheless, he
seized upon the idea, and the success of
the issue is largely due to his advocacy
/ can't congratulate him on his victory,
for l think we should have had better
bill"
He complimented the Republican party
on its practical unanimity, but predicted
that some scars would remain as the
result of the conflict that has taken place
within the party ranks. He expressed
the opinion that if the bill fails to give
the relief sought, it will be because the
people go to sleep, and in conclusion
expressed his own sense of relief in get
ting rid of the responsibility imposed
upon him, as the Senator having charge
of the measure.

r. s. BENEDICT
Tale Of Titles.

An American father had two daugh.
tiers, and when he died he left each Of
them q large fortune. One Of them
said TO herself. like society. like
titles, and as there are no titles In
America l will cast my lot in foreign
lands. AS she was rich and attractive,
1t was not long before titled gen.
tleman from France offered her his
hand in marriage. She accepted, the
marriage ceremony was performed,
and she went with her titled husband
to Paris. opened palace, and went
in for all the enjoyment of French So
ciety. We shall not speak Of the many
troubles which befell her and the dis
tress which her titled husband brought
upon herself and members of her fam
lily in America. But the upshot of it
Is. relates the Richmond (va) Times
Dispatch, that the count has spent up
to this time something like $4,000, 900
Of her estate. and besides has 30 out
ragged her feelings by his attentions to
another woman that she has brought
suit for divorce. The other daughter
said, love the simple life best, and l
will consecrate myself, my talents. my
mind, my womanhood and my fortune
to the good of humanity. From that
day she has found her pleasure in do
ing good. She has never been ostenta-
tious; she has never paraded herself
before the public; she has found no
time for the frivolities of society, for
she has been too busy in good works
for such diversions. If she had any
desire for a title, save that which be-
longs to every true American woman,
the public at least had no evidence OF
it, and yet she has a title. She ia
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land as our uncrowned
American queen, and that title, which
has been voluntarily bestowed upon
her by the American public, is a title
of honor more rich and worthy than
any which has been gained by inner
itance or by marriage. Which OF these
two titled women do our American
girls most admire? And which has had
the happier life?

Mr.. Deliver said: whatever may be
said of the President, he will be remem-
bered as the fearless leader who, without
regard to personal comfort or regard for
consequences, has taken up these great
questions and secured their enactment
into law"
Senator Foraker said there were some
sections that he should like to see en-
acted into law, and that if he could vote
upon those sections as such he would be
relieved of great perplexity. He, how
ever, had an Interchangeable opinion on
the right of Congress to enter upon the
rate making power and could not secure
his own assent to cast an affirmative vote
for the measure as a whole. Hence
though he stood alone, he meant to cas-
his vote against the bill, knowing that
if he voted alone, he had support in the
real convictions of many other Senators
He believed the bill would pass by ar
unanimous vote except one.
Mr.. Morgan made pretty much thu
same sort of speech, stating that there

Senator Mallory moved the substitution
of the words ascertain and declare" for
the words determine and prescribe in

motion was voted down-21 to Az
1t will be observed by the above vote
that most of the Senators of both parties
who have been in the Senate long enough
to achieve reputation as lawyers of first
class ability voted to strike out the words
comforting discretion upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the matter of
fixing rates. They contended earnestly
that the retention of the words would be
almost sure to invalidate the law; that
the Supreme Court would declare the
entire enactment unconstitutional if the
words sin its judgment" were retained
in the rate-making clause of the bill.
The interesting fact cannot be over
looked that those Senators who are sus-
pected of being hostile to effective legis'
lation. as we'll as those who avowedly
are opposed to the whole program of
government regulation of interstate
transportation charges, spoke and voted
against retaining the words. On the
other hand, Mr.. Tillman, who is proud OF
his self-imposed title Of 'cornfield law
yer" and whose loyalty to the cause OF
effective legislation has never been
doubted in any quarter, voted against
retaining the three words which, it is
contended by many friends of the bill
Mr.. Allison among the number-con'
stituted so vital feature of the measure
as it came from the House.
Mr.. Lodge denied emphatically that
there had been an agreement between
the President and his new Senate allies
for the retention of the words, although
Mr.. Allison and others had asserted posi-
lively the day before that there had beer
such an agreement. Speeches for striking
out the words were made by Messrs
Spooner, Bacon, Lodge, Teller, Foraker
Morgan, Bailey, and others.
When the final vote on the passage o.
the bill was taken, the following absen

Senate Passes the Rate Bill.


By vote of II to the senate yester-
day passed the railroad-rate bill, and then
adjourned until Monday at noon to give
Senators and the country rest.
The three adverse votes were cast by
Mr.. Foraker, Republican, of Ohio, and
Messrs. Morgan and Pettus, Democrats, of
Alabama. Ia another part of The Post
of today will be found the explanations
given by these Senators for voting against
the bill.
1t was nearly o'clock when the vote
was taken. The attendance of Senators
was unusually large, but there were more
vacant than occupied seats in the gal
leries. The weather was oppressive, and
statesmen and spectators alike were list
less, but witbal eager for the final act in
a procedure that has occupied the atten-
ton of the Senate continuously, and
almost to the exclusion of everything
else, for more than seventy days.
The bill was sent to the Senate from
the House February s, and was reported
out of the Committee on Interstate Com
merce February 90. With the exception
of the time consumed in the discussion
of the Statehood bill, which Immediately
preceded the rate bill on the calendar,
nothing else has been debated at length
in the Senate since the rate measure was
reported and placed upon the calendar.
-. -.
lawmakers at work on his repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing act has Con-
gress had any measure before it for so
long and uninterrupted period. 1t goes
without saying, of course, that the Senate
is glad to get rid of the bill, and a distinct
sigh of relief could be heard yesterday
afternoon when President Pro Tempore
Frye announced the result of the vote.
When the so-called Allison composite
amendment was agreed upon as happy
issue for the Republicans out of all their
threatening trouble, it was nominated in
the bond between Mr.. Allison and those
representing him and the President on
the one side, and Mr.. Aldrich on the
other, that these three words would be
left in the bill. Their retention was,
tentatively at least, as much part of the
agreement as was the broad court review
itself. 1t was 80 understood by all OF
that element Of Republicans who had
been fighting the battles for the Presiden,
before he suddenly dropped them and
went over to the Aldrich element.
That this was the understanding wa.
plainly shown yesterday by Mr.. Crane
voting with the minority for the retention
of the three words named. Mr. Crane
was one of Mr.. Alrich's chief lieutenant,
in all of the hard fighting and treaty
making that went on from the inception
of the fight to its sudden and unexpected
close. But Mr.. Aldrich left Washington
Wednesday night Immediately after h,
was assured that ne had won the fight
so that when the critical moment cam,
he was not here to hold his forces faith
fully to the compact in respect to tn,
words "in its judgment"
1t is generally thought that stron,
efforts will be made to have the word
put back into the bill in conference
With that object in view, Mr.. Dollive
will probably serve as one of the con
