The Washington times., 1906-05-03

The Senatorial atmosphere is vol
canic today, and across the railroad
rate horizon plays the lightning of
ill-concealed uneasiness, while there
are heard the mutterings OF men
whose plans have gone wrong.
But above this element of dis
pleasure is the loud-throated chorus
of delight from the radicals in rate
legislation" They herald in tones
of confidence the passage of the
Presidents rate bill. They declare
in no uncertain phrase that the tide
has turned irresistibly toward vic
tory for the Administration.
Their explanation of the sudden
change is a double one: First, the
proposed publication of the Car
field report tomorrow touching the
Standard Oil Company; second, the
early issuance of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions reports on
its inquiries into the connections of
the railroads with the coal indus
try of the whole country.
They foresee the Inevitable
strength of a popular indignation
which will be caused by the pubH-
cation of these Illuminating docu-
ments. They predict that such
tidal anger will wrest the control
Of the situation from procrastinat-
ing Senators and force to success
a strengthened bill"
Mysterious Changes.
Report is even stronger today than II
was yesterday that the people who have
been accounted opponents of legislation
are suddenly anxious for an early vote.

slsts that he has no such number, and
that. instead of wanting to get a vote
while he is confident of securing his re-
view amendrcent, Aldrich in fact wants
10 get II early because he sees ahead
the tidal wave of public wrath which
may sweep radlcalism into the measure
so II comes about that the opposing
sides have in measure changed posi-
tion on the matter of an early vote.
The DOlliver-DOng element would be

But the more radical element-the
Tillman-La Follette-B Bailey people who
would like the bill strengthened at what
they consider weak points-are planning
TO take advantage of the Weakness Of
the Aldrich group. and TO redouble their.
efforts for strengthening amendments.
