CONGRESS AT WORK
What Our National Law Makers Are
Doing Day by Day.
The Rate Bill.

Discussion of the railroad bill con-.
tinued in the House. Incidental to it,
two speeches, the efforts of Mr.. Camp
bell (Kan.) and Martin is. d. took
wider range and swept the horizon
Of "trust evils" generally.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.) a minority MEM
Der of the committee reporting the
bill, made a two hours speech in
which he discussed The legal and con-
stitutional questions involved and ad-
vocated the passage of the bill as
proper remedy for an intolerable con-
dition. The first speech, in opposition
in the discussion, was made by Mr..
Perkins IN. ". He based his OPP
position to government control of
rates on an inherent aversion to gov
eminent conrtol of private enter
prises. Red tape and fixed condition,
he said were an inseparable part Of
government action on any matter.
A bill was passed granting a Fed
eral charter to the Carnegie Founda-
ton, for the advancement of teaching.
The fund consists Of $1O,OOO,O0O, the
income of which is to furnish a pen
sion to. retired educators.
Shipping Bill in Senate.
The Senate passed thirty or forty
miscellaneous bills and devoted sew
eral hours to the consideration Of the
shipping bills. Bills were passed au-
thorizing the election Of a Delegate in
Congress from Alaska; authorizing
the construction of revenue cutter
vessel for duty at Savannah, Ca;
authorizing the construction of a
bridge across st. Andrews Bay, Fla,
by the Birmingham, Columbus g. st.
Andrews Railroad Company, and pro-
viding for lighthouses, fish cultural
stations, etc.
Most Of the time devoted to the
shipping bill was consumed by Mr..
Penrose in set speech i'll support Of
the measure.
Mr.. Tillnan's resolution calling on
the President to send the senate all
the letters from the United States
minister to Santo Domingo to the
State Department in 1904, was refer
red to the committee on foreign re-
lations. Mr.. Tillman made no object
/ tion, but said that he only wanted
light as to whether Santo Domingo
had been coerced into the present an
rangement. He said the newspapers
had said that this was the case, while
MI. Patterson had said that the ar
rangement was made at the solici-
tation Of the Dominican government.
After Mr.. Tillman had made brief
statement concerning the bills hold
ing railroads responsible for injuries
to employees, Mr.. Elkins withdrew his
motion for their reference to the COM
mittee on the judiciary, thus leaving
them with the committee on inter
State commerce.
Mr.. Tillman said lie had not been
aware Of the frequent change of ref
erence for the bills. He said that he
had been instrumental in the effort to
secure the change Of reference be-
cause the Interstate commerce COM
mittee was so much engaged on the
railroad rate question.
At 2 O'Clock the shop subsidy bill
was taken I'D. Mr. Bacon said that

Legislature adjourns, and thus Laur--
ems may be saved to the dispensary
columns after all, if the Legislature
fails to take radical action. The rea-
sou for postponing was that members
of the board, who are all State officers
in the same building, are too busy
during the session of the Legislature
to properly consider the matter. Mr..
c. G. Festherston, once candidate for
Governor on the prohibition ticket,
appeared before the board to protest
against the dispensalies being kept
open, while Mr.. r. FL. Welsh appear.

John Mitchell, in description OF
one of the historic coal strikes of the
last century, said:
"There is a story of the privations Of
these poor people that has grim pa

humorous side makes the story worth
repeating.

Stories Told OF Prof. Park.

T
Prof. Park, so long the especial
light at Andover Theological Semin-
ary, when a young man studied in
Germany. His acute mind made him
the terror OF the professors. The emf
nent Dr. Tholuck, after, being driven
into a corner in an argument with
the young American, exclaimed, Nov
/ am sorry. that Columbus discovered
America"
When Prof. Park. at Andover, was
! asked by a student the reason for the
tower Of Pisa, he quickly answered.:
mo doubt the contractor did not pay
his men promptly, so that they were
compelled to put lean on the tow
er."
Prof Park was very particular to
call his students by name One day
he met a man By the name of Jones.
Not wishing to betray the fact that
he could not recall his name, he said:
"By the way, how do you spell your
name?" The student with some sur
prise, exclaimed: Jones Is there
any other way of spelling it?"
