Allison Expresses Apprehension.
 Notwithstanding the agreement to let the matter go over, discussion of 1t continued. Mr. Addison expressed appre- hension that the language of the amend ment was not such as to render 1t effee- tive He called attention to the fact that the acts of 1887 also had prohibited the granting of passes.
 Mir. Foraker replied that the prohi- bition had failed of effect. because it provided no penalty. whereas his amend- ment carried penalties ranging from s100 to s2oOO.
 Mr. Scott called attention to his amendr ment compelling railroads to make busi- ness connections with other lines, and asked Mr Tillman to accept it. The re- ply in this case was similar to that made in the first case. Mir Tillman saying that he would accept it if he could but that he had no authority to do so.
 MT. Foraker expressed the opinion that NIr. Tillman had the right to accept amendments if no one objected
 The South Carolina Senator expressed qualification and asked for Mir. Allisons s opinion, saving: This is the first baby I eyer had to nurse. and am therefore green"

"On one thing we may be certain" he said, and that is that some rate bill will become a law before the final adjournment of Congress"
 The Colorado senator referred 10 the charge that many of the senators were railroad attorneys. and added:
 'T have no doubt that large number of senators have been railroad attor- news and possibly some of them have been railroad presidents Before coming 10 the Senate I was myself an attorney for railroad, and also president of a small road, but severed both connec- tions upon entering the Senate I have no prejudice against railroads, hut on the contrary acknowledge their instrumental ity in building up the country I do not intend that any demand from anybody shall cause me to do any injustice either to the roads or the shippers. What we want is railroad regulation. not rail- road destruction"

for An independent Tank Line-De-
tails Of the Testimony.

Cleveland. May 26.---W. E. MacEwen.
ment of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad general Office IN
Cleveland, was the first witness today
In the Standard OH investigation by
the interstate commerce commission.
He testified that he had charge of COM
piling the mileage cars of the Union
Tank Line. He said reports were for
wartled each day to the Cleveland Of
flee of the Standard company. The
Lake Shore. he declared, gave the
Standard big advantage IN tabulat-
ing the records of tank cars. In that
the mileage of the Standard cars was
figured on a different basis than the
cars of competing companies, and the
advantage amounted all the way from
8 to 81 cents per car, according to the
distances between different points on
the road. When he left the employ OF
the Lake Shore several years ago, he
began to work for the Peerless Transit
Company. an independent tank line. He
asked the Lake Shore officials for the
same basis of figuring mileage as was
given the Union Tank Line He was
ridinuled, he said, and was told he did
not know what he was talking about.
Every effort was made to belittle him.
Finally having obtained copies of the
Union Tank Line reports, and taking
them to the proper officials. the road
reluctantly granted his request.

BLYTHE CONCEDED THIS DAY.
Delegate, Results in Counties Today
Were Expected to Show Blythe De-
Iiverirg to Perkins.


GBy Ora WilliamS.1
Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines, May 26.-The standpat-
ters are prepared for "big holler" to
follow the caucuses and conventions of
today. 1t is their day. Mr.. Blythe is
delivering his own. The interesting
spots are Delaware, Pottawattamie,
Cass and Warren. The Blythe people
claimed them all, and they needed them
all. The Cummins people hope for a
large share of the results; but even if
every one is lost they are no worse off
than they were before. Not one of
these counties has been included in the
list which goes to make up the nomin-
alton of the governor.
He would be indeed foolhardy who
would today insist upon it that Per-
kins has anything more than remote
chance of winning the nomination. or
course if the Cummins people would
begin now to commit series of blum
ders rivaling those Of the Perkins
management the situation would be
an Interesting one. But they will hard
ly do this
And so the situation is this, that If
the standpatters get all that they claim
will be theirs today and all they are
counting on next week and the week
after, they will only be holding their
own.
If the progressives lose the four con-
tests of today and all that can posi-
bly, come up next week. they are yet to
be whipped on their own fighting
ground before there is any danger of
the defeat of the governor.

HERNHARDT NEAR DEATH.
Escaping Train Crash Sarah Cots An
qry at Railroad Men.

iNankaio, Kan, May i2o.--NIlle. SaTah

a train crash near here yesterday when a
crash between the special on which
she was travelling and train bearing

Mime. Sarah jumped the track two miles
from Mankato where the locomotive
was stopped. The trainman ran back
few rods and tagged the Commercial
clubs special, which was running at
high rate of speed only one mile be-
hind the Bernhardt special.
Mime. Bernhardt was taking bath
in her luxurious private car when the
accident occurred, and when she learned
of her narrow escape from death in
railroad wreck she grew intensely ex-
cited and SO hysterical she could hardly
be kept under control. When, after a
cons. derable delay, the locomotive
drawing her special was put back upon
the. track and was in condition to go
ahead, the famous actress declared
with great vehemence that she would
not ride behind another mile, since in
her opinion 1t was "hoodoo" and 1t
would be unsafe for her to do So The
tr;linmen expostulated with her, seek
in,, by every means at their command
to dispel her superstitions, but she in
sisted that she would not ride behind
the locomotive to which the accident
had occurred.
She was billed to fill an engagement
at st. Joseph last night and it was i'm
portant that she proceed on her jour-
,ney promptly. Finally she demanded
that she be given the locomotive draw
ing the Commercial club special The
conductor of the Commercial club spe-
cial declined to let her have it. Then
Nine. Bernhard and her manager grew
indignant and angry and threats We're
made that some of the railway men
would be fired Finally a big freight
locomotive was hitched to the Bern
hardt special and the actress still in
,di guant and angry with her party, pro-
ceeded on her way, arriving at her des-
tination in time to fill her engagement
that night.
While Nine Bernhardt was indignant
and angry at the railway men for not
accedfng to her demands, she showed
the utmost good will for the CONNER
