IN EVERYTHING BUT RANK.
Inferior Officer Considered Himself
Superior. to the Man
Above Him.

The following anecdote, touching the
military career Of the late Judge Tour.
jee, was related by Pension Commits
sioner Warner:
The colonel Of the regiment bein0
absent one day, his duties devolved
upon the second In command, the lieu.
tenant colonel, a pompous young fel.
low. One morning that officer called
at Capt. Tourjee's quarters and or
dered him to make detail of 30 men
from the right Of the regimental line
for a special duty the following day.
Late in the AFTERNOON the lieutenant
colonel again called upon the captain
and asked whether his order had been
carried out making a detail Of men
from the left of the line.
beg pardon, you told me to make
detail from the right of the line"
was the captains reply.
mo, sir; l said from the left" came
the snappy response.
You said from the right" persisted
the captain in more decided tones.
The lieutenant colonel was whita
with rage. Drawing himself up to his
full height, and at the same time
.gesticulating with this right hand in
a menacing way, he vociferated "WhO
is superior here, you or II"
Il am, sir, in everything but rank"
was the cool response.
Capt. Tourjee was ordered to his
quarters under arrest, but when the
colonel returned the following day
was ordered to report for duty.

DELAY Of RATE BILL
Railroad Interests Making Strong

NEARLY 100 AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
The Hepburn Measure a. II Passed
the House Receiving Bitter An
tagOnism-An Agreement
Thought UnlikeIy.

Washington, Feb. 15.-In the senate
committee on interstate commerce, the
line between the faction which advo-
Gates the passage Of the house bill and
/ the faction contending for the court
review feature has been drawn 80
taut that all thought Of compromise
has been abandoned. All conferences
Wednesday were between senators
thoroughly harmonized for one posi-
ton or<the other and have been for the
purpose Of lining up for passage at
arms Nearly hundred amendments
to the house bill are pending before
the committee and nearly score Of
these bear on the judicial review Of
orders made by the Interstate COM
merce commission. II many of these
amendments are contended for with
stubbornness vote on the bill itself
may be delayed for several days, de-
spite the agreement in committee that
a vote shall be taken Friday. 1t is not
improbable that both factions may
be willing to transfer the contest to
the floor Of the senate and that no
roll-call will be had in the COMMITTEES.
If outward appearances may be be- !
lieved in the face of the manipulations |
to corner votes the Hepburn bill can
not be taken from the committee by a
majority vote. This is not conceded
by Senators Dolliver and Clapp, al
though they admitted Wednesday that
they have not majority of the COM
mittee votes corralled for the house bill
in its present form. They asserted,
however, that they will not accept an
Of any character specific
ally providing for judicial review of
the orders of the commission, and
that they will bring out a minority
report If majority of the committee
ian not be secured. On the other hand,
Senators Aldrich, Foraker, Elkins,
kean and Crane, the leaders of the
action demanding less radical legis-
alton, insist that they have enough
votes on the committee to amend the
ill. They say, nevertheless, that they
10 not purpose to substitute measure
or the house bill, nor to adopt an
which would delay an or
Ter from the commission from becom-

Under the Hepburn bill it is provided

their argument upon sympathy for the
