Wednesday, March IA,

Washington, March IA. - The rail.
road rate bill today reached the contro-
versial stage in the senate. The ques-
tion came up in the regular order OF
business shortly before 2 O'Clock and
held the floor until the doors were
closed for a brief executive session
shortly after 5 o'clock. Rayner was
the chief speaker of the day. Among
the senators who were aroused by him
were Foraker, Lodge and Deliver. Both
the Ohio and the Massachusetts sena-
tors took exception to Rayner's conten-
tion that the railroads have interfered
with the framing of the bill and For.
=aker also expressed himself as dissatis.
fed with the intimation that the rail-
roads are represented on the floor of
the senate.
Warren addressed the senate on the
bill extending from % to 36 hours the
me Turing which livestock in transit
on railroad trains may be confined
without change, saying that the meas
ure was in the interest of humanitar-
ianism and should be passed. He said
that the extension of time was to be
made only upon the request of ship
pers, and that it would not work
hardship on either owners or their
stock.

Smoot wanted some OF his friends to

ACT ON JETTY BILL.
House Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee Will Soon Meet.

House Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee Will Soon Meet.
Washington, March l6. - Chairman
Burton, of the house rivers and har-
bors committee, said he would call a
meeting of his committee at an early
day to consider Senator Fulton's wilt
appropriating $400, 900 for work on the
jetty at the mouth of the Columbia
river. The committee is due to arrive
here from it's southern trip by Saturday
or Sunday and it is probable the meet
ing will be held some time next week.
If it shall be the opinion of the COM
mittee that this separate bill should be
presented to the house and pressed on
it's merits, the bill will be reported
without amendment. There is every
reason to believe that the committee
will favor the appropriation of $4OO, 900
inasmuch as the chief of engineers and
secretary of War have both stated that
this amount is absolutely necessary to
preserve the jetty work from destruc-
tion and have specifically stated that
any less amount will not answer.
There is report that the members
Of the house committee may favor en-
larging the Fulton bill by adding pro-
vision for three or four other emergency
projects, so as to make it virtually an
river and harbor bill, such
as was suggested earlier in the session.
This is not certain, however, as the
has had no meeting this
session, and it's sentiments cannot be
accurately ascertained. If the bill can
be 30 amended without making it a
general river and harbor bill, it's
chances of passing the house will be
brighter than would the bill making
an appropriation for the Columbia river
alone. |

Conference at StandstiI.

Berlin, March 49, German faith in
an amicable settlement of the Moroc-
can tangle has given way to hopeless
ness. A spokesman for the government
today admitted that the situation has
reverted to a critical point, with di-
minishing prospects Of agreement.
When your correspondent on March
5 cabled that harmony was in sight, he
reflected the firm confidence of the
kaiser and Prince Won Buelow that a
settlement was only matter of hours.
frances refusal to regard the German
concessions as adequate surprised the
Berlin authorities, who now insist that
handing over police control of Casa
Blanca, which is one OF the seaports of
Morocco, to the neutral powers is the
German irreducible minimum.
The Foreign Offices conception of the
position of affairs at this hour Is that
matters are where they were before,
except it is "plainer than ever that.

will belong to France, and to France

day OF general debate on the legislative
bill developed limited discussion of the
retirement of aged clerks intersperced
with speech on statehood by Babcock,
OF Wisconsin, one on the restriction of
immigration by Gardner, of Massachu-
setts, and presentation of reasons why
the jurisdiction Of Federal courts should
be restricted in certain cases where it
was acquired because of the citizenship
of the litigants being in different states.
Babcock said the house bill was one
of the greatest legislative outrages ever
enacted; that the senate had properly
amended the bill, and he favored the
senate amendments. Babcock dwelt at
length on the reasons why Arizona and
New Mexico should not be united as
one state.

Friday, March 10.


Washington, March 16.-For an in
stant in the house today there was a
lapse in the vigilance OF those who
have been on guard to prevent legis-
lation which would take away the
rank of lieutenant general in the army,
and the chances of Generals Corbin and
Macarthur for promotion. Prince, of
Illinois whose bill abolishing the grade
in question is the regular order of bus
mess under call of committees, slipped
into the legislative breach. There was
an immediate call to arms on both
sides, and for three hours the friends
of the generals filibustered against the
bill.
The net result was that the previous
question is odered on the bill and an
amendment is pending. having been
offered by Grosvenor, of Ohio, which
extends the time of the operation of
the bill go as to allow the promotion
of the two officers named. On this
amendment the house was voting, but
without quorum, when adjournment
was had until Monday, when the vote
will be completed. At present it
stands 78 ayes and 83 noes on the
amendment.
Previous to this, the first real fiji.
buster of the session, there had been
four hours of debate on the legislative
bill. Shackleford opened the program
with severe criticism of Speaker Can
non, which he was not allowed to fin
ish. Then followed somewhat lively
debate on the appropriation bill.

New York, March 49, Prince Tsai
Tse, High Commissioners Shang Chi
Heng and Ii Cheng To, ENJOYS of the
emperor of China, their secretaries and
attaches, sailed on the White Star
liner Baltic today to continue their
Investigations in England, France and
Belgium. The prince said last night:
II have greatly enjoyed my visit to
this country, and the uniform courtesy
that has been accorded me, including
the reception by President Roosevelt,
has deeply impressed me with the
friendly attitude of the American peo-
pie. l believe that such contact makes
for better understanding and must
bring benefit to both of our peoples"
That China will soon have contsi-
tutional government is the opinion of
some of the commissioners. Announce
ment of this belief was made by one of
the secretaries of the commission Just
before the Baltic sailed. 1t followed
brief conference between all members
of the party.
"We have been making a compre.
hensive study of the political situation
in this country" he said, "and have
seen the application of your laws and
the workings of the governing bodies.
l believe that China will soon have
government. 1t will
be modelled much on the lines
of the British constitution, but will
contain some of the good features OF
your own constitution.

Cannot Move Step Forward.

Algeciras, March 15.-The Nor ocean
conference has reached peculiar stage.
1t is completely helpless to solve the
deadlock which has arisen over the re-
naming details of the police and bank
questions.
The sessions are temporarily sus.
pended without knowing when they
will be resumed. The French and Ger
man delegates are bound by their in
structions, and therefore are unable to
make any further concessions, and the
conference, not having judicial or ex-
ecutive powers, cannot settle the differ
ences by majority.
The neutral delegates who have here
tofore sought to secure an agreement
between the parties which the confer
ence could unanimously confirm, now
recognize that if the conference is left
to itself, it is incapable of getting out
of the present difficulty, and it remains
for the governments themselves to in
tervens for the purpose of reaching an
agreement.
