STILL UNSETTLED
Only Two Amendments of the
Rate Bill Remain
PASSES ARE PROHIBITED
No Exemptions Whatever Are Made,
PASSES ARE PROHIBITED
No Exemptions Whatever Are Made,
But the Provision Does Not Go
Into Effect Until Janu-
uary I, 1907.

Washington June 1,-Only two amend
ments remained unsettled when the con-
ferees on the railroad rate bill adjourned
today, and it is expected these will be
decided tomorrow. The amendments In
dispute are those relating to Jim Crow
cars. and prescribing that no hearings
of applications for injunetions setting
aside orders of the interstate commerce
commission shall be had without five
days notice to the committee. The lat
Ter had been agreed to by the eonferees
but the action was reconsdered today
The indications are that 1t will be ac-
eepted.
Jim Grow Amendment TO Go Out.
1t is said that the Jim Crow car
amendment is slated to go out As passed
by the Senate, it requires that the rail-
roads shall provide equal accommodations
for the different races. Northern negroes
object to this. because they fear il will
suggest to northern states the passage
of Jim Crow laws.
They would like the law to provide that
the same accommodations. instead of
equal accommodations" should be pro-
vded for the different races. This, how
ever, Is opposed by southern members of
congress. If the amendment is disagreed
to, the different states are permitted to
exercise their own discretion as TO the
separation OF the races, but interstate
passengers cannot be interfered with un-
der the state laws.
Prohibits All Passes.
Two complete amendments were re-
drafted by the conferees. One was the
pass amendment. for which a substitute
was offered by the house eonferees and
accepted 1t prohibits the issuance of
passes to any person. 1t makes no ex-
emptions whatever, but is not to take
effect until January /, 1907. The other re-
drafted amendment is the one making
pipe lines common carriers 1t now pro-
vides that pipe lines transporting oil
through pipes and partly by rail and
through pipes and partly by ship, shall
be common carriers.
The commodity" amendment, which
prohibits railroads from carrying any ar
tcles it mines, manufactures, or pro-
duees, was also amended slightly, so as
to render 1t less in conflict with the pipe
line amendment.
The action of the Senate in striking out
the words 'fn fits Judgment" and Fairly
reInunerative." was agreed to by the con-
ferees These are two of the important
amendments having a bearing on what
was xaown as the 'Allison compromise"
The conferees agreed that express COM
panies should be brought within the pro-
vision OF the act to regulate interstate
commerce, but that palace sleeping cars
should rot.

In presenting the report of tho rules

lowing paper, signed by himself and Ills
colleagues: Is
Your Committee on Rules In submitting
til accompanying draft Of the bylaws
and rules for the government Of the
City Democratic Committee, desire In
this paper to set forth some Of the rea
sons actuating itain reference TO the
attendance upon Its meetings OF the re-
representatives. of the press.
This question has for many years been
a debntable one In thei minds or the
members. both sides having its strong
advocates, @
It would be WE'LL perhaps. In the outset
of this discussion to remind our mems
bers Of the very nature and character OF
this organization, he reason for its ex-
istence. the purpose and scope OF Its
work, Its duties and its responsibilities.
We are assembled here as the accredited
representatives of a political division Of
our ctizenslip-namcly. those only who
acknowledge allegiance to tho Democratic
party We arc not hero MS the represent
,tntlVes OF citizens however numerous,
respectable or influential or any other
political faith or nnflllatIon, We arn sent
here. presumably, by Democrats only,
to represent them In maintaining IN this |
city by our counsel and plans, the SUI
prenacy Of tho Democratic party, and to
cpl,solye and pcrpctnto lis principles,
believing that In so doing we give to our
city3n clean. honest and capable admin
istratio Of It's affairs. We were elected |
for this purpose, for this purpose our prl-
maries arc held, and all our deliberations
ana work have tlls end In View, and |
there IL absolutely no other reason for
our existence as a body, Those Of us, II |
any there be- Who cannot consistently
net In full cOnsnnance and accord with |
this purpose, arc certainly out of place
