PULLMAN WILL OPPOSE
 RATE BILL AMENDMENT
DECLARES NOT HALF DOZEN DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S WILL
 SUPPORT IT.

Says It Does Not Meet the Situation
 Fully--Mnkes No Provision Setting
 Forth Specifically that There Shall be
 No Suspension of the Railway Rate
 Fixed by the Interstate Commerce
 Commission Pending the Judicial De-
 termination of Any Case Appealed.
 Washington, April 1.-Senator Till man. who has charge of the railway rate bill in the senate, said tonight that he was not satisfied With the court review amendment to the measure which was agreed on yesterday at a conference between President Roosevelt and several republican senators who are supporting the bill and members of the interstate commerce commission. The senator said he would oppose it on the floor of the senate and he expressed the opinion that not half dozen of his democratic colleagues would sup port the amendment. Senator Tillman declared the amendment does not meet the situation fully, inasmuch as it makes no provision setting forth spe- officially that there shall be no suspen- sion of the railway rate fixed by the in terstate commerce commission pending the judicial determinations of any case which may be appealed from the rate as established. This Is q contention which Senator Tillnlan and a number of the democratic senators have urged, as they argue that failure to provide absolutely against a suspension of the rate operates to nullify the objects for which the legislation is desired. The senator added that he would prefer to vote for the house bill as it stood than 10 accept the amendment, for the pend- ing measure gave the right of review where constitutional questions are in- volved.
 Senator Spooner was at the White House tonight in conference with President Roosevelt, presumably on matters connected with rate legislation. The amendment is to section 16 of the house bill and provides:
 That all orders of the commission, l except orders for the payment ot mon ey, shall take effect within such req 1 sonaIble time as shall be prescribed by the commission and shall continue for such period of time, not exceeding two years, as shall be prescribed in the or l der of the commission, unless sooner set aside by the commission or sus- pended or set aside in a suit brought against the commission in the circuit court of the United States, sitting as a court of equity for the district wherein any carrier plaintiff in said suit has its principal operating office, and jurisdlc- ton is hereby conferred on the circuit courts of the United States, to hear and determine in any such suit wheth- CT the order complained of was beyond the authority of the commissien or in violation of the rights of the carrier se- cured by the constitution

PORTO RICO GOVERNOR HOME
To Appear Before House Insular Affairs
 Committee.

New York, April 1.--Among the pas sengers who arrived here to-day on the steamship Coamo from San Juan was Beeknan Winthrop, governor of Porto Rico, who has been summoned to Washington to appear before the house committee on insular affairs in relation to Porto Rican questions, Governor Winthrop said he had nothing special to say beyond this fact
 The chief demands of the people of Porto Rico are American citizenship and a more representative form of gov- ernment in the shape of an elective senate instead of an upper house com posed of six Americans and five na- tives, appointed by the President, as at present The six Americans now serv- ing in the senate are also heads of de- partments'
 The island administration, it is said. is opposed to the elective senate Idea on the ground that the island is not yet ready for such step. Full American citizenship, however, is advocated by all and was suggested by President Roosevelt in his message to congress on December 5, 1905.

RlPUDIATE DOWIE.
Zion City Elects New Head--Mrs. Dow
 ie With New Leader.

Chicago April 1,--At meeting to-day of 5000 adherents of the Christian Cath ollie church at Zion City, of which John Alexander Dowie is the founder and first apostle Dowie's authority was re- pudiated and Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who for some time has been conduct ing the affairs of the church, elected in hi sstead. Mrs Dowie also repudiated her husband, and her son, Gladstone Dowle, cast his lot with his mother, and the new leader, Voliva.
 Dowie was denounced by many as having deceived the people and wasted their money in extravaganza. The meeting, however, refused to hold that he had knowingly erred.
 John G. Speicher, the former overseer and once second in command to Dowie, who recently was deposed peremptorily, declared Dowie to be insane. Mrs. Dowie, in her address, also upheld that declaration.
 The casting off of the authority of John Alexander Dowie followed the re- ceipt to-day of an eight-hundred word telegram from DoWie, who Is in Mex ico, in which he peremptorily ordered the immediate discharge of Deacon AL exander Grainger, financial manager of Zion, who has been one of the most ag- gressive leaders in the cfort to place the affairs of the church on secure foundation. Dowie also announced in the telegram that a letter would follow in which other officials were named for deposition.
 A meeting of Zion council of twelve was held this afternoon and Overseer Voliva read the long telegram from Dowie. Voliva then, amid dead silence announced that he refused to remove Alexander Grainger from cffioe. One after another John G. Speicher, Mrs Jane Dowie, wife of the first apostle Deacon Yerger, of Cincinnati; Overseel P. E. Cantel and others denounced and repudiated the authority and leadership of Dowie.

BITUMINoUS SITUATION.
Western Pennsylvania Operators Ready
 to Give Advance.

Pittsburg, April 1.-Dispatches from the soft coal fields tonight indicate almost a general announcement from the operators of western Pennsylvania to pay the miners the advance of 5.55 per ton called for in the restoration of the scale of 1903.

SATISFACTION IN FRANCE.
Foreign Minister to Address Chamber
 on Moroccan Agreement.

Paris, April 1.-Foreign Minister Bourgeois at an early date, will ad- dress the chamber of deputies, setting forth the governments view as to the result of the conference on Moroccan reforms at Algeciras.
 The agreement is hailed with satis- faction by officials and by the public press, which was weary of the prolong- ed controversy and the disturbing pos abilities of war The view in official quarters is that France secures fair degree of success on the principal ques- ton relating to the police and state bank. However, 1t is recognized that neither France nor Germ2ny has secur- ed all that was wanted. Frances de- sire to have control of the police was partially realized in her being allowed to police the important Atlantic ports, including Mogador, which Germany was suspected as coveting, and also with her ally, Spain, to police Tangier and Casablanca.
 On the other hand, it is thought that Germany's desire to internationaiize Morocco was partly realized, as the Franco Spanish police is subordinated to an inspector who will report to the diplomatic corps. Thus both countries, in a measure, were successful, but each is so safeguarded that neither will be able to claim victory. Frances pa- citic penetration of Morocco, 1t is thought, Is remotely postponed, as it is likewise to the cream of the vast north west African empire. Aside from the details of the great achievement, the officials consider that the agreement between France and Germany assures the preservation of the peace of Eu- rope

London, April 2.--The London newspa- pers in their editorials this morning welcome the settlement of the points in controversy between France and Ger many over Morocco as removing the anarchical conditions in Morocco which have constituted constant menace to the peace of Europe. They consider that although France may be disap- pointed in her aspirations for pacific penetration" she has secured all her immediate and solid interests in Moroc- co, besides establishing on firm CT basis than ever her prestige in Eu- rope and that therefore, she has no reason to be disappointed with the re- suits of the conference.
