abortive by refusing to concur in the
house resolution. II the future be
judged by the past, the reform which
so many people favor will never be
brought about in that way. 49,. .zs
The constitution provides two ways
in which amendment to 1t may be
secured. The first is for congress, by
resolution, to submit proposed amend.
ments to the states for ratification;
and the second is for the states to
demand Of congress that a convention
be convened to consider the proposed
amend ments. This method requires
action by the legislatures Of two
thirds OF the states.
h During the past half dozen years,
the legislatures Of probably a MAORI.
ty of the states have gone on record
as Ifavoring the popular election Of
senators, but a. number of them, like
Ohio, have failed to make a formal
demand. There is considerable doubt
as to whether these scattering de.
mands could be considered mandatory
upon congress, even If the few more
states necessary to make two-thirds
should join in them The legislatures
which made the early demands have
passed out Of existence, and in a
number Of states the political com.
plexion of the legislative bodies have.
changed. Many senators, hold the
view that the demands must all be
made 1ll' within the same year, or ct
least by coexisting legislatures. Il
that view he the correct one, it win.

Senators Discuss Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 3. Confer.
ences on the Hepburn railroad rate
bill are every day becoming more
confusing. Groups of republican
senators advocating an amendment
providing for judicial review of or.
ders OF the interstate commerce com.
mission, groups of republican sen ..
tors who supported the bill as It
passed the house and was reported by
the interstate commerce commission
OF the senate and groups OF democrat.
-ic senators may be seen in close con.
sultation almost every hour of every
day, the latter trying to determine
what their policy will be.
The most notable Of these groups is
the first mentioned, which has direct.
ed its efforts toward bringing about
an agreement to an amendment that
might prove satisfactory to all the re.
publicans. The members of this fac.
tion are making use of the argument
that unless amended, the bill will be
declared unconstitutional. 1t is an
argument used alike to republic an .
and democrats. This faction pro.
fesses encouragement.

Portland Fair Was q Success.

PORTLAND, Ore., March Lone of
the most successful fairs that has been
held In the country came to q close
formally today when the directors and
stockholders at meeting today
passed resolutions of dissolution. A
dividend Of 25 per cent. was declared
by the directors. Besides this vast
sum there was sl3O, 600 left over in the
treasury. This amount will be used
as fund to erect a monument to Lew
is and Clark in this city.
The wonderful success of the expo
sition is a reflection of the great pros
perity of the west. This is probably
the first time in the history of the
country since the epoch OF expositions
set that there has been q dividend de-
clared by the stockholders. At least
none of the fairs which have been held
since the W orld' fair at Chicago have
declared as high a dividend as that
which was declared by the stock
holders of the Lewis and Clark ex.
position TODAY.

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The house
today passed the army appropriation
bill, also the Foraker bill. providing
for the marking of the graves of Con.
federate dead buried in the north.
The discussion developed a unani.
nous sentiment in favor of marking
Confederate graves, and as the bill
had received favorable action by the
committee, it was brought in by Mr..
Prince, and passed unanimously, !,
amid applause on both sides of the
house.
The profit in manufacture of smoke
less powder was called attention to by
Mr.. Graf, Of Illinois, who said that
for several years there had been four
bids to furnish the government with
smokeless powder and that each bid
was the same-70 cents pound. The
Dupont powder trust, he said, con-
trolled the four plants, the Dupont,
the Latin & Rand, the Intern atioual
and the California. The government,
he said. could build four plants with
equal capacity at q cost Of $3.50, 900
each, and save enough in the manu-.
facture of smokeless powder in one
year to pay for all the plants.

PHILIPPINE BILL Is DEAD.
Majority ct Senate Committee Refuses To
Sanction Report Of Measure.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-The sen.
ate committee on the Philippines today
refused to reports the Philippine tar.
III bill. BY a vote Of 8 to 5, the com.
mittee voted against a favorable re-
port, and by vote of I to 6, refused
to report the bill adversely for consid.
Grafton Of the sentate. This effectu-
ally disposes of the measure.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of Mr.. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for
free trade with the Philippines. This
motion was lost, only four senators
voting in the affirmative. They were:
McCreary, Culbertson, Carmack and
Stone.
The Payne bill provides for the re.
ductiou of the duty on sugar, tobacco
and rice imported from the Philippines
to 32 per cent. OF the Dingley sched.
ules, and for absolute free trade after
three years.
The senate showed its hand in the
fight which it is understood is being
waged against the president today by
the action of the committee on the
Philippines when the tariff bill was
kept in the committee by a vote of s
to &. This is one of the pet measures
OF the administr alton, and the action
of the senate committee is taken as an
ultimatum from the upper house that
it will hold up the administration bills
ii the railroad rate bill is not amend.
ed to the liking of the majority of the
senate.
The Philippine tariff bill was called
up in the meeting of the senate com.
mittee this morning by Senator Lodge.
1t was believed that the bill would at
least be reported out of the senate.
The action of the committee means
that the bill is dead. And the war
between the president and the senate
Is on for blood.
