Washington, Jan. 22.-In the senate
cnator Dolliver complained Of
criticism of himself in the Washing
ten correspondence Of a Philadelphia
raper, in which it was declared that
a snake had been discovered in the
Golliver rate bill, trick by means Of
which the author of the bill, who poses
as a supporter of the president, is
seeking to emasculate the bAl SO it
will amount to nothing"
The publication to which reference
was made is a section in the bill in
troduced by Senator DolTiver which
provides that the commission by man
damus proceedings in United
States courts may enforce it's orders.
This provision was IN addition to L
penalty of $4,000 a day against the
carrier which might not comply with
the order of the commission. He said
he had taken the provision criticised
almost literally from the interstate
commerce law. Senator Clay spoke on
his resolution relating to govern
mental power to fix maximum future
charges by railroads.
