RAILROAD RATES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FAvoRS
HEPBURN BILL.
HAS ISSUED NO ULTlMATUM

But Would Not Compromise on Legis-
iation Not in Accord with Views
Expressed in His Message.-Deeply
Interested in Philippines and State
hood Measures.
shington.-President Roosevelt is
not trying to dictate to Congress what
it shall do or not do regarding rail-
road rate legislation or any other
problem of legislation. He has not de-
livered to the Senate or to the House
any sort of an "ultimatum" on subjects
of legislation, and has not held over
the heads of Congress the threat of
an extraordinary session" If he does
not obtain the Legislation for which he
is hoping. This statement is made by
authority, also, that suggestions of a
compromise of any sort on rate legis-
lation which do not embody the sub
stance of the Presidents message on
the subject have not appealed to the
President. 1t can also be said that he
doubtless would refuse to accept a
compromise which would affect any
essential feature of the proposed legis-
lation. What is known as the Hep
burn bill, now under discussion by the
Presidents views, as set forth in his
last annual message. In the early days
of the present session he thought the
measure proposed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission was the most
practicable offered, but after mature
consideration IL seemed to him that
the Hepburn bill was the better.
Members of the Senate committee on
interstate commerce have assured the
President that either the Hepburn bill
or measure resembling 1t in essential
features will be reported to the Sen
ate. The report of the Senate commit
tee will not be unanimous, but 1t will
represent the views OF a majority OF
the members. The report will be sup
ported, II Is expected. by Senators
Cullom. Dolliver and Clapp, and pos
sibly by other Republicans, and by the
Democratic members of the commit
tee. II can be stated that while the
President desires that such rate legis-
lation shall be established as he has
recommended, he is firm in his atti-
tude that the railroads as well as the
shippers shall be dealt with justly. He
wants nothing in the law that would
affect unfairly the rights or the prop
erty of the railroads.
He is confident that legislation to
be framed substantially on the lines
of the Hepburn measure will prove
fair alike to the railroads and TO the
people. He is not trying to dictate
matters of detail. and. of course, will
preserve an open mind as to proposed
amendments which do not affect the
material and substantial features OF
the bill.
The President is interested in both
the Philippine tariff and the statehood
measure. Concessions as to either
one of them have not il is stated. been
given serious consideration. AL the
White House it is understood that an
effort is to be made in the Senate first
| to eliminate Arizona and New Mexico
| for consideration as a joint state, and
| if that should fail, secondly to incor'
| porate in the statehood n provision for
| the reference of the question of joint
| statehood to the voters of the two ter.
ritories. 1t is too early yet to say
with any degree of accuracy what the
result OF the latter proposition may be.

Army Camps in Hawaii.

Honolulu..-The federal government

here suitable for garrisoning large
bodies of troops. either for the purpose
of acclimating them to camp life in the
tropics, or to be nearer the Orient in

The ship subsidy bill is apparently
moribund, and the Californians are

The President, it is reported, was
somewhat curt to the Californians. He
did not wait for an explanation, say
ing he had received a telegram from
Spreckels & Brothers, and was familiar
with the matter. He added in effect
that until the Senate took action on
the Philippine tariff bill ne would not
go out of his way to assist steamship
company. He spoke with considerable
feeling against the Senate s action in
holding up the Philippine bin.

MASSACHUSETTS ON WAY.

SAN DIEGO, May S.-The big steam
er Massachusetts, chartered by the Ha-
waiian- American line to fill gap in
the service of its regular steamers, ar
rived in port this morning with cargo
of about 10.400 tons of miscellaneous
freight for this port and San Francisco.
The steamer is the largest ever dock
ed here, being practically 500 feet.long,
sixty feet beam and drawing twenty
eight feet of water. She is command
ed by Captain J. Findlay and carries
a crew of sixty officers and men. She
will be here until Friday discharging
cargo for Southern California points.
AS all of the freight for discharge here
is light and measures about 2200 tons,
its dead weight is scarcely half that.
She will go from here to San Fran
cisco and thence to Honolulu to load
sugar for New York. She has been
in the cotton-carrying trade, but it is
understood that she is to be reftted as
passenger steamer when she reaches
the Atlantic coast

THREW Boy INTO THE HARBoR.

H. c. Birbe, erstwhile politician and
now gatekeeper for Hackfeld & Co.'s
wharves, yesterday got tired of a young
Hawaiian boy who had a penchant for
getting onto wharveS by climbing over
fences, etc, and chucked the youngster
into the harbor. Although the young
fellow is used to water and is a div
ing boy" he objected to taking swim
under such circumstances and report
ed the affair to the police station. A
warrant was issued for Birbe and
served on him. Birbe has had a good
deal of trouble with this young fellow.
After sneaking in upon the wharf he
gets jobs from passengers just landing
by carrying their luggage to hacks,
passing Birbe at the gate en- route.
When outside, the youngster makes
free use of his fingers adjusted to the
end of his nose to show his contempt
for the gatekeeper
