SUSPENSION THE ISSUE
THREsHING THE RATE QUESTION
IN THE SENATE.

During the latter part Of Mr.. Rayner 9
speech on the railway rate bill in the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon Mr. Aldrieh aues-
toned Mr. Rayner as to his willingness 10
accept amendment giving the carrier
the same protection that is given shippers.
and the latter responded by saying that ne
would favor a provision that would give
the courts Jurisdiction in all cases involving
the charge of unjust compensation Reply
ing to another question from Mr. Aldrich,
he added that he was willing to afford re-
lief where rates were made too high
Then" responded Mr.. Aldrich, we are
practically In accord
Mr.. Rayner outlined the proposed demo-
cratic amendments to the bill, saying that
they would do away with the suspension
provision and give the courts the right to
try the question of just compensation II
these provisions could be accepted, he said.
the bill could be passed at once.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that he was not pre-
pared to say that he, would agree to the
suspension provision, and Mr.. Rayner de-
clared that this was the real question at
issue
Replying further. Mr.. Aldrich said that
he did not want endless litigation.
Mr.. Knox thought that sixty days would
be sufficient to take any one of these cases
through the courts but Mr.. Rayner believed
that not less time than eighteen months
would be necessary for the process, While
Mr.. Tillman called attention to the fact
that there were oil cases in the federal
courts In Pennsylvania which have been
pending for seventeen years.
Mr.. Knox stated In reply to Mr.. truman
that he had recently received from the
Pittsburg Judge before whom these cases
were brought complaints of the criticism IN
the Senate of his course. The judge mad
stated said Mr.. Knox, that the complain
ants had made no move in the cases for two
years.
naturally they would get tired after try
Ing for fifteen years" responded Mr.. Till
man.
Both Mr. Lodge and Mr.. Foraker took
exception to some remarks of Mr.. Rayner,
the former to his advice to the railroad OF
flcials to amend the bill and Mr.. Foraker 10
a reference to him and to Mr. Aldrich as
being pleased over the good fortune or the
railroads.
Mr.. Rayner declared that he had no pur-
pose of intimating that either Mr.. Lodge
or Mr. Foraker could be Influenced by the
railroads or any one else to swerve one lota
from their sense of duty as senator's. But,
he said he did believe that If the rail-
road interests would agree to do so they
could have the suspension provision taken
out of the bill.
..Do YOU believe they put it mp demand
ed Mr.. Lodge, and the Maryland senator
replied that he entertained no such view.
Disseminating his questioning of Mr. Ray
ner Mr.. Lodge said that he did not regard
the question as one between the railroads
and ANYBODY. 1T is question of great
public import he said, "a question which
affects all the people. 1t Is for us to act upon
upon our ewn responsibility; no one has
ANYTHING to say at this stage of the pro-
that If he believed the bill unconstitutional
he uonld not vote for It

Foraker Denounces the House Bill.

At the close OF Mr.. Rayner's address Mr..
Foraker spoke on the merits of the House
BILL expressing the opinion that it is not
worth the paper 1t is written on; that 1t is
unconstitutional on a half dozen grounds,
and that if not unconstitutional 1t is "a
cheat and fraud" He declared that the
bill would not afford relief to the shippers.
Mr. Tfllman contended that any effort to
suspend the orders of the commission by a
court should be opposed because such a
suspension would effect the paralysis of the
entire measure and prevent the relief which
the people are determined to have
Mr.. Spooner called the South Carolina
senator's attention to his former criticisms
of the House bill and the latter admitted
that he had said that freight train could
be driven through it, and he declared his
intention of sticking to the altar erected
by Mr.. Rayner against any suspension of
the rates fixed by the commission by any
tribunal short of the Supreme Court.
He referred to Mr.. Foraker's advocacy of
his own bill calling attention to the fact
that he CMr Tillman) had presented meas
ure that had been highly spoken of by both
Mr. Aldrich and Mr.. Foraker.
Mr.. Foraker interrupted to again express
hi appreciation of the South Carolina sem
ators bill. 1T is blunt and brusque, like
the senator himself, but, like the senator,
it gets there just the same" he said, and
the Senate laughed uproariously.

Tillman's Support of the Bill.

Mr.. Aldrich declared that Mr.. TilIman
had become so enamored of the House bill
that he had deserted his own measure and
this accusation Mr.. Tillman vehemently de-
MED Il never deserted my baby he said
but the Senator from Rhode Island insist
ed upon putting his own dress on it; that

Senate so that could discuss 1t in the

Congress does not settle the question the
people will next time elect one that will
Mr.. Dolliver outlined his attitude on the
question of suspension. expressing the opin-
ion that the powers of court Of equity
cannot be abridged A provision like Mr.
Baileys would, he said, be agreeable TO
him If It could be sustained by the courts
He explained his apparent sensitiveness rel
atfve to the remarks of Messrs. Rayner
and Tilln1an by saying that he had had
such a hard time defending the bill from
the attacks of Its enemies that he felt that
he had right to expect more charity to-
ward II from its professed friends
Mr.. Tfllman replied that with some
amendments added the democratic senators
would be found to be as Jealous in support
of the bill as any of the republicans
After further discussion Mr.. Culom re-
marked that this thing had gone about far
enough" and at $40 p. m. moved an execu-
tive session. The motion prevailed and at
OH pm. the Senate adjourned.

Luzon Railway Contract.

Seen before the dinner, the Secretary said
The matter concerning which / conferred
with Mr. Milburn was the bid of Speyer Il
co. on the proposal for the building of about
four hundred and fifty miles of railroad In
the Island of Luzon, with Manila as the
principal center of the system.
The bids for building the lines projected
for the islands of Negros, Cebu and Panay
nave been accepted and the contracts
awarded. but only one bid was rendered for
the construction of the Luzon lines.
Upon readvertisement of the proposal
there was again only one tender that of
Speyer Co. 1t is not entirely satisfac-
tory to the War Department, and negotia-
tions are therefore in progress with a view
to satisfying the government requirements
In the matter"
Speaking of the recent battle with the
Moros at Mount Dajo and the great mortal
ity to the natives that resulted the Secre-
tary said:
II am satisfied, from my knowledge of the
Moros that were the subject of the attack,
that our soldiers INDUCED in no inhumani-
ties, save only such as are inseparabe from
war. These Moros were of the uncivilized
Mahometan variety, who were preying upon
the peaceful element of the Moro popula-
ton. They were bandits whom 1t was nee
essary to subdue. They were fanatical and
treacherous-an exceedingly dangerous ele-
ment. Our soldiers were compelled to make
the attack under conditions most difficult,
and L am sure they were considerable of
life as was possible under the circum-
stances"
