ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS
Washington Bureau of the Courier,
Washington, D. c., June 2.

1t has just leaked out that serious
alteration between Senator Bailey
and former Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota, was narrowly averted a
couple of days before the final passage
of the railroad rate bill.
It is well known that Mr.. Pettigrew
has large business interests in New
York and is reputed to be very wealthy.
During the present session he
has frequently been in Washington
and usually drifts into the senate and
greets his former associates.
On the day in question Pettigrew
stepped into the democratic cloak
room and greeted Bailey, who was
talking with some other senator. The
story goes that Pettigrew congratulate
ed Bailey on his great constitutional
speech and then declared that his pro-
posed amendment must be all right
because the railroads Of New York
were all in favor of it. This remark
nettied Bailey, somewhat and he indi-
Gated his resentment by his facial ex-
preston, although he did not say
much Pettigraw noted that Bailey
had taken umbrage at the observation
and remarked in substance that Bailey
need not take the suggestion to heart;
that it was a fact that the railroads
we're pleased with the proposed Bailey
provision and that he (Pettigrew)
while in New York, had been asked by
railway man to see a certain repub.
lican senator and endeavor to induce

The principal points of difference be.

ing the rate bill were set.
tied by conference. A tentative
agreement was reached on all points
at issue and the rate bill is practically
ready to be reported in this shape to
the two houses and be submitted to the
President.
The points agreed upon by the con-
ferees are the following:
Pullman sleeping cars not under the
jurisdiction of the interstate commerce
commission.
Express companies treated as common
carriers and made amenable to the in
asrstate commerce law and all les pro.
visions
Pipe lines carrying oil made common
carriers. All other pipe lies exempt.

The afternoon session of the rail

"Jim Grow" car amendment. The
work of drawing up the report of the
conferees has already begun.
