Debate in Upper House.

Washington, Jan. 30.--The senate to.
day heard the ship subsidy bill adyo-

many years, and passed number OF
bills.

measure, offered and had accepted sew
eral important amendments. One
limited the subsidy to American reg
is;ered vessels engaged as o common

sections providing for tonnage tax
from foreign vessels and the subsidy
for the American liners. Mr. Frye
declared that the latter would force
the liners under a foreign flag. MIR.
Gallineer regi etfully assented. The
measure was put aside without ac-
ton.
The little furry over the employers
liability bill that Chairman Elklls
wanted taken from the committee on
interstate commerce and sent 10 the
judiciary committee brought from Mr..
Daniel (Va.) the charge that two COM
mittees had been playing a game of
battledcor and shuttlecock with the
measure for years. A disclaimer came
from Mr.. Elkins (W. Va.), Mr.. For
aker, (Ohio), and Mr.. Aldlich, (R. H..

THE REAL FIGHT
Between the Administration and Rail-
road Forces Is Begun at
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 30.-IrrespectIve
Of political faith, the house of repre-,
Bentatives, almost as a unit, lined
up to do battle in the interest OF
railroad rate legislation today. Oh
the 383 members, there are not NOR.
than half dozen opposed to the meas.
Ire that the house has now before it,
the Hepburn bill. OF these six anti
regulation men, there can now only
be named Representative Sibley and
Huff, Of Pennsylvania, and 2epresen-
tative Mccall of Massachusetts, all
three being Republicans.
The real fight between the admin
istration and the railroad interests
began today when the measure was
reported to the house and Represen.

Wisconsin, author of the famous rail
road rate measure Of the last con-
gress, took the floor in an extended
speech, explained the purpose of the
bill.
The fight in the Interstate and for
eign commerce commission where the
bill was prepared, was merely the
There the Democrats and Republicans
burying their differences, agreed on
the Hepburn bill. 1t came before the
house with o unanimous report and 1t
was the expressed desire of the men
who spoke upon it today, that 1t
should pass without amendments and
go Immediately to the senate. The
idea of both parties in the lower
branch is that early and united action
upon the subject will give the upper
body, whose idleness killed the Town

Representative Townsend and Hin.

Adamson, Georgia, and Richardson,

the fact that all efforts of individual

Washington, Jan. 30.-Startling
charges were publicly made by Repre-
sentative Chas. e. Townsend, of Mich
igan, Tuesday, in his speech In the
house opening the debate ON the Hep
burn railroad rate bill, reported unan-
mously by the committee on inter-
state commerce.
He declared that the opposition had
"cndeayored to discredit the admins

distract attention from this grea,
aue.tion."
He predicted that delay will be
caused wherever possible in the vain
hope that something will happen tc

He spoke of lobby "rich and pow

He warned them that to further op-

ASSES MILK COMES HIGH,

Asses instead of COWS, occupied
one side of the stable. There were
twenty OF them, neat little beasts.
I'VE charge a dollar and a half Il
quart for asses milk said the dairy
manager. You see, we have to, for
these animals although milked
tour times day, only yield two pints
apiece altogether.
The milk is very thin. 1t is sweet
ish. 1t has an odd flavor, kind OF
cocoanut flavor. Physicians prescribe
it for anemic babies and for consump-
tives.
Sometimes we sell an ass to a
customer. We charge $50. Then the
customer himself, or else his servant,
must do the milking, and that is a
hard, disagreeable, even dangerous
job. In the long run, after a month
or two, the ass is sou back to us 81
