Republican LeaderSAgree
Upon New Method in
Rate Fight.

Convinced that It is impossible for
the Senate 10 perfect legislation in open
session. the Republican leaders in con-
ference last night decided that today's
program should open with the recon-
mencement Of the EIlins proposition for
enforcement Of carrying from producing

Agreement Of practically all the Re
publican Senators was secured in sup
port Of this plan. Yesterday afternoons 5

proposition is extremely difficult and
complicated, and that with a powerful
element Of Republicans. headed by Aid
rich and Foraker. apparently determined
10 prevent accomplishment along this
line. agreement in the Senate would be
very difficult.
Dryden Amendment Modified.
AS soon as the rate bill was reached
after the opening OF this afternoons ses-
sion the amendment by Senator Dryden
was taken up This provided that di-
voreement Of carrying and producing in
terests shau become effective January 1.
1911 After some discussion Senator Dry
den modified this to January l. 1903 and
on roll cali the amendment as thus mod
fled was adopted-44 TO 80.
Senator Hopkins of Illinois then made
the motion to refer the entire matter
10 the Committee on Interstate Com
merce- He said the experience yester-
day and of the Opning hour Of today's
session had proved the impossibiiity OF
satisfactorily formulating legislation in
open session of the Senate. The roll call
on the amendment by the Senator from
New Jersey has shown now wide Is the
disagreement between different elements.
On the ether hand he thought there
WAS substantial agreement as 10 the
general desirability OF legislation along
this line The question as a whole he
considered scarcely second in import
ance to the general matter of rate
regulation Whatever legislation is
passed must be drafted with extreme
care. Under direction OF the Senate
and Interstate Commerce Commission
is now conducting an investigation Of
this very subject and If the matter is
referred back TO the committee that

CHICAGO ELECTION TO-DAY.
Municipal Ownership and High License
the Leading Issues.

CHICAGO, April Final arrangements
for the municipal election tomorrow were
made by the election commissioner and the
political managers to-day. Four hundred
thousand ballots and the necessary number
Of registry lists, tally sheets. poll books,
voting booths and supplies were sent to the
precinct polling places, and the Aldermanic
candidates and the wa rd mana gers put the
finishing touches on their plans to roll up
votes sufficient for a victory.
All sides agree that II good weather pre-
walls tomorrow a large vote will be polled,
and many predict that the figures will even
equal the vote cast at a Mayoralty election.
At all events it is expected that to-morrow's
vote will exceed that Of any cast In an off
year spring election in Chicago because
of the pressing interest felt in the saloon and
municipal ownership questions.
Thomas Carr, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic central committee, gave a review Of
the situation to-day and declared his firm
belief that the municipal ownership propo-
sitions on the little ballot will be defeated.
or course, its advocates see nothing but a
triumphant victory ahead.
incidentally, the advocates Of the 81, 600
saloon license believe their cause will re-
main on top-especially if there is a big vote
and the citizens do not forget the impor-
tance Of the situation. F. j. Shead Of the
Anti Crime League predicts the reelection
OF every one Of the seventeen Aldermen who
stood for the high license.

THE PHILIPPINES TARIFF BILL.
Senator Lodge TO Make an Effort 10 Get
IL d u OF Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Lodge,
chairman of the Philippines Committee,
does not intend to let the Philippines tariff
bill die without a struggle on his part to
nave it enacted. When the railway meas
ure has been disposed OF he will move
that the Philippines Committee be dis
charged from further oonsid of the
bill, in the hope Of bringing it into the Senate
to be considered on it's merits.
There Is little doubt in the minds Of those
favorable to the bill that it would be re-
ported .favorably by the committee and
passed by the Senate If it were amended
so as to provide that the duty on tobacco,
sugar and rice should be 40 per cent, in
stead Of rs per cent. of the present taTff
rates, and the free trade clause eliminated.
But the Administration and the supporters
of the measure in Congress are unwilling
to make these concessions, They declare
that they would rather have the bill fail
than allow Themselves to go to the extreme
suggested.
Strangely enough, there is considerable
Democratic opposition to the bill in the
Senate, and it is wen said that the Demo-
cratic Senators will vote solidly against
the motion OF Senator Lodge to discharge
the committee from further consideration
Of the measure. Senator Lodges motion
will put every Senator on record, and there
Is considerable uneasiness over his an
nouncement that he will not be swerved
from his purpose to make it,

LODGES SECRETARY Accused.
Moran Says He Got n Campaign Contrlbu.
ton for Which He Never Accounted.

'''f "
BosToS, April 2.-Distriot Attorney John
b. Moran spoke this morning at the hearing
before the Committee on Counties on his
bill for four assistants, a clerk and a stenog-
rapher. Mr.. Moran addressed the COM
mittee for over an hour and concluded with
a review of a case in which Robert G. Proc
tor, private secretary to Senator Lodge,
faces a possible indictment.
As an illustration OF the kind of cases
which neither he nor his assistants have
time to investigate, Mr., Moran cited charges
brought to his attention by John G. Best gen
of Quincy, who asserts that under promise
of aid in securing a consulate in Germany
he made several contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund; that On October
10, 1904, he paid to Robert @. Proctor,
Senator Lodges private secretary, at Mr..
Proctor's request, the sum Of S225 for the
campaign fund; that this amount was never
turned over to the State committee and
did not appear, either in the published list
or in the returns made by the committee
at the State House, as required by law.
Major Talbot's letter shows that the
$225 was never received at Republican
committee headquarters" said Moran.
"The sworn report of the committee shows
that it was never received. Bestgen testi-
hes that he delivered it to Proctor, Senator
Lodges secretary. Proctor, he said, adj
mitted receipt to two different persons,
and practically admits it in his letter to
Bestgen, which ! have read. | am Of opin-
ion from the evidence before me that
there Is crime here"

LIVED LONG
Bodies Just Taken From French Mine Show
Victims Died slowly OF Starvation.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TIE Sun.
LENS, April 1.-The discovery OF more
bodies in the Corriere mine, the victims
having apparently recently dice Of starva-
ton, has intensified the growing anger
OF the miners against the officials of the
company. The latter are accused of apathy
in searching for the entombed miners.
1t is feared that violence may break out at
any moment Troops are guarding the
houses Of the officers, who never leave
them without an escort Of soldiers.
1t was rumored this evening that more
men had been found alive in No. 4 pit.
This caused an excited mob to gather at
the entrance gates, which were eventually
burst open. Women led the mob and dared
the soldiers on guard to bayonet them.
By the Use of diplomacy the officers averted
a riot, but It took them two hours to calm
the excited people.
Searchers are still below looking for the
victims. At a late hour the crowd was
still present, awaiting a veri6cation of the
rumor that the searching parties had found
living men.

TO SEND FOOD TO JAPAN.
Red Cross VIII Extend Its Work In Aid OF
Famine Sufferers,

I'LL FuHSTtTb.
The latest advices received from japan
show famine conditions in Sendai and the
northern provinces to be so serious that
the New York State Red Cross has de-
termined to raise not only money but
food for the relief of the sta rving Japanese.
This decision was reached at the meeting
Of the Japanese famine committee, held
at the Office of Samuel Woolverton,
the Gallatin National Bank, SO Wall street,

cepted the offer of F, H. Hartman, presi-
dent Of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific, to transport 1000 tons of food from
any Of the freight stations on his system
70 the Pacific coast, and thence by the
Pacific mail steamships to the Red Cross
Of Japan. The question Of what food TO
send was then discussed. and it was de-
termined to refer a food list prepared by
the late Frank Vivanti, who had lived for
many years in japan, to Consul General
Ochida and to DR.. Takamina, the Japanese
scientist, for corrections or additions.
All that will be necessary will be to de-
liver the food at the freight station of the
Union Pacific or Southern Pacific Rail
way, plainly marked: ~For the Japanese
Famine. Consigned to Count Matsukata,
president Japanese Red Cross In addi-
ton there should be a plainly lettered card
stating what the food is. The New York
State Red Cross has decided to nave pre-
pared a number OF labels which tell in

the Japanese Red Gross, which will see
that a card of directions goes with every
