THE RATE BILL.

The Elkns proposition 10 divarce the
business of transportation from the bust
ness Of production afforded the Senate
another tangle at yesterday afternoon;
session Fully four hours were devO'eC
to the consideration OF the subject in III
manifold phases. developing many kinds
of contending factions along constitution
al and practical lines.
Finally a vote WAS taken on tie FL
kns amendment AS modified By its au-
thor, so as to include the idea proposed
by Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi,
aud in this form the Senate passed an
amendment on the subject by an almost
unanimous vote. The Elkins amend.
ment, in the form in which 1t was
adopted, was the same as the Mclaurin
substitute, almost word for word, and
not nearly so drastic as the Elkins
amendment itself, which was pending
throughout the day.
Senator Aldrich and some OF his fol.
lowers were anxious TO sidetrack the
whole proposition by referring the Elkins
amendment and all of the other amend
menls and substitutes on the subject to
the Senate committee on interstate com
merce for investigation and considera-
tion. Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, was
inlrusted with the task of offering the
motion to this Effect.
But the plan was blocked by Senator
Bailey, rf Texas, who pointed out that
it wouI not only he contrary to general
parliament ~ practice, but also to the
rules of th' Senate, to refer To com
mittee before which there was pending
no bill on the subject an amendment TO
bill which wa under consideration In
The Senate.
The force of Mr Bailey's argument
was Immediately apparent to senatorial
leaders like Lodge, Hale, SOONER, Gal
finger, McLaurin, lIlIinar, CulbersoD
and Others, who opposed the motion
sith such yigor that -AIdrich, Hopkins
and Beyeridge, who were virtually the
only republicans who took the floor in
opposition To Mr.. BAiiey's contention,
surrendered, afte~ being defeated by
vote of 4S to 25. More than au hour
was devoted to the parliamentary enlan-
clement and disenlanglement over the
Hopkins mntioa.
Shortly before s O'Clock the Senate,
having temporarily disposed Of the Elk
ius proposition, proceeded with the read
Jog Of the Hepburn bill by sections and
adopted three other amendments in
rapid-hre succession, maxim, the net re-
suit of the days work the Incorporation
OF the following principles in the first
section OF the me sure:
The Elkins amendmt nt-Making !,
unlawful for common carriers tn trans
port in interstate cOmmfrce articles
produced by them, but not intended for
their own use.
The Elkns smendment-PrOhibiting
discrimination in the matter of the dis
lrbuIion of cars aud the installation OF
swi ching facilities.
The Bailey amendment Bringing
express and sleeping car companies
within the scope of the bill as common
carriers.

THURSDAY EVENING. NAY 10. 1896

The oUTRAeEs by dynamittrs are be-
coming common and the boldness of this
class of outlaws is causing much appre
hension. Nearly every city in the world

cautions are necessary in the twentieth
century to safeguard the Gear OF Russia

blood and could they get close enough
TO their sovereign they would throw
their dangerous missiles at him. The

tails in regard to the arrest of anarch-

Kaiser William, during his coming visit

prisoners who were arrested Yesterday
are still held in custody, and have been
examined several times in an effort to
make them confess. These attempts
have been fruitless. however. The men
will be indicted for conspiracy. The

been greatly increased. The surrounding
forests have been thoroughly searched
and are guarded by troops, and an extra
secret service force has been drafted to

Gift of France to Alice.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt has received the wedding
present which the French government
had intended for her The gift con-
slsts of beautiful Gobelin tapestry
representing Justice" and was Of
fered to Miss Roosevelt by M. JUS
serand, the French ambassador in this
city. 1t is understood that President
Roosevelt had informed several Eu-
ropean powers that it would not be
agreeable if they sent especially ex-
pensive gifts, and accordingly most
European governments are expected
TO send small gifts merely to express
their good will and wishes to the
daughter of Americas first citizen
but tine French government had al
ready given orders for the manufac-
ture of this rare piece of tapestry.
The piece, though not very large, is
invaluable as that particular kind of
GObeln is solely made for the French
government on special occasions.
