Washington March 19.-There were
three speeches on the railroad rate
bill in the senate. Messrs. Nc
Creary, Bailey and Hepburn were
the orators. Senator McCreary an
nounced determination to vote for the
bill, whether amended or not, but said
he would not object to a reasonable
provision for the review of the inter
state commerce commissions find
ings. Senator Bailey replied to
criticisms of his suggestion for a pro-
hibition against suspension of the
COMMISSIONS orders by courts below
the supreme court. He cOntended
that congress had absolute power to
prescribe limitations for courts which
it creates and cited a large number
of decisions to support his position.
Senator Hepburn advocated a re
view provision but expressed the
opinion that even if it were omitted
no person could be deprived Of his
right of admission to the courts.
The house reached a compromise
on the question of abOlishing the
grade OF lieutenant general by pro
viding that it shall not become eff
fective until October - next, in order
that Generals Corbin and Macarthur
may be promoted before retirement.
An important bill, the first step to-
ward reorganization Of the consular
service, was passed. 1t has been
acted upon by the senate. It re-
Classics the service and increases
salaries to the extent of $4,000 a
year. During the completion of the
Mr.. GrosvenOr of Ohio came to the
defense of the army in the Mount

leader, replied briefly, saying that all
criticism was based on the official re
ports so far received. The retire
ment of aged clerks received atten-
ton for more than an hour, during
which the debate was general, while
Mr. Tawney, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, held the floor
in advocacy of the seventy-year re-
tirement provision in the bill.

LITTLE PROGRESS
Being Made With Peace Proposals in
Cuba Though Feeling Is Hopeful.

Havana, Sept. 5.-Peacc is in the air
and on all sides tonight there is hope
that matters will he arranged between
the government and the insurgents SO
as to avoid further blonaShcd. How
ever, there has has bccn no tangible
advance toward an agreement or TO- Il
definite arrangement of n basis for ne
gotiations In the meantime fighting
has been practically suspended. Dele
gates informally chosen by a small
group of veterans started today to the
camps of Pine Guerra. Colonel ASb"rs.

surgent leaders. with the purpose Of
learning what will be acceptable to the
actual fighting leaders Of the rcvolu-
ton. a similar committee started for
Cienfuegos to consult under flag of
truce with the insurgent leaders in
Santa Clara province.
The Associated Pres is informed al
though the fact has not been made
public that the government comman-
ders have been directed to suspend
active field operations until 1. can be
determined what can be done to end
the war. The propositions which the
promoters of the peace movement have
al
Congress to pass acts of amnesty for
the holding of municipal elections
within 60 days to be supervised by
members of both parties. and a new
general election law providing for
minority representation in all branches
of the national and municipal govern
ments.
These propositions seem 10 appeal to
the public. although Liberals are in
Clined to demand also the resignation
OF all high officials. including the
President and members OF the cabinet
which the government OF course. can
not consider. 1t is feared that the de-
mands of the insurgent leaders in the
field will be much more exacting than
those of the insurgents sympathizers
in the cities. who obstensibly al least,
assume to be non combatantS.
