SENATOR TILLMAN REPLIES
TO PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON
COAL AND OIL INQUIRY.

He Says Fate Has Recently Enlisted Him
as an Ally OF the President and He
Didn't Want TO Say Anything 10 Disturb
the Amieable Relations That Existed.
WARRINGTON, March Ex-senator Till
man Of South Carolina paid his respects
to the President to-day on account OF the
message sent to Congress by the President
on the Tillman- Gillespie resolution pointing
out that it was impractical. Senator Tillman
had the Presidents messag read.
Fate has recently enlisted me as an
ally of the President in securing a railroad
rate bill, !" said Mr.. Tillman, amid roars OF
laughter from his colleagues. -For that
reason l dom want to do or say anything
that would seem to disturb the amicable
relations that apparently exist
Senator Tillman said he regarded the
Presidents message as "a remarkable
document
Senator Tillman said the joint resolution
which the President had condemned as
impractical was really an amendment to
the Interstate Commerce law and taken in
connection with that act afforded all the
opportunity for a full and free examination
that could be desired.
Senator Lodge Rep, Mass defended
the Presidents criticisms. He said the
information called for under the resolu-
ton would tax the capacity Of the census
bureau. He belle we'd it would nav been
wiser to add al appropriation of $50 900
to carry out the objects Of the resolution,
Mr.. Lodge said he doubted whether any
Senator took the Tillman Gillespie resolu-
ton seriously at the time it passed the
Senate or voted for it with any sincerity.
This statement brought Mr.. Foraker
Rep., Ohio to his feet. Mr.. Foraker said
the Interstate Commerce Commission had
the necessary power to send for persons
and papers and to require the presence OF
witnesses. II more money were needed
in addition to the funds already at the dis
posal Of the commission that body could ask
Congress to make the appropriation.
MT. Foraker resented the suggestion OF
MIR. Lodge that the Senate was insincere
when it passed the Tilln a Gillespie reso-
luton.
Mr.. Spooner (Rep,, Wis.) said that the
ioint resolution was passed without due
consideration by Congress. The President
had a perfect right to point out Its defects.
The President had not interfered with Com
gress any oftener than Congress interfered
with the President.
The discussion was cut short by the an
nouncement from the Vice-President that
the hour of 2 O'Clock had arrived, and the
Hepburn Railroad Rate bill was laid before
the Senate as the unfiri5hed business.

.GULBERsON on RATE BILL.
He Argues That Congress Has the Power
to Fix Rates.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Gull
berson Of Texas addressed the Senate this
afternoon on the Hepburn Railroad Rate
bill. Mr.. Culberson commended that Congress
had the power to fix rates under the general
powers conferred upon it to regulate inter-
state commerce"
Mr.. Culberson called attention to the fact
that in the charter Of the Union Pacific
Congress reserved the right when the earn
ings Of the road went above a certain per
cent. to regulate rates to be charged.
The courts could interfere only in cases
where the rate was so low as to be confis-
catory, and that was true because rat g
making was a legislative and not q judicial
function. He insisted that the courts had
no right to exercise the rate-making power
OF usurp the Legislative function in that re-
gard,
, Mr.. CuIberson in conclusion said the bust
ness of making rates was 20 in the hands
of a body of railroad managers smaller
in number than the membership of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. These men
made the ratessas high as the traffic would
bear. "The public is entitled to the enjoy
ment OF reasonable rates" he said, and
this regardless Of the naked right of the rail-
road to a fair return upon the capital in
vested"
senator Nelson (Rep.. Mimi gave notice
that tomorrow, following the speech Of
MI. Simmons Dem., N. c. notice OF which
had been given, he would address the SEN
ate on the railroad bill.

GENERALS FRANCHISE TAXES.
Supreme Court Advances Cases for Hearing
IN April 2.

IN ApfIQ q.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-On motion Of
counsel for the New York Central railroad
the Supreme Court to-day advanced for
hearing on April 2 five cases involving the
validity on the franchise taxes paid by the
company for the years 1900 to 1904, which
are based on its capital stock invested in
rolling stock employed exclusively outside
the State of New York. The payment OF
these taxes was resisted by the railroad on
the ground, among others. that the State
Of New York had no right to impose taxes
on property outside its borders, as that
would be a burden upon interstate COM
merce.
The Supreme Court of New York rejected
this plea, holding that the tax was on CAPT,
tai stock only and not on property. The total
amount involved for the five years is in the
neighborhood of $500, 600. Two Of the cases
have been onthe docket since the last term.
When reached at the present term they were
passed over until the three additional cases
could be docketed, in order to bring up
every phase of the question. 1t is desired
now to restore the two old cases and assign
them for argument with the three just
docketed, the five to be heard az one case..

Anna Valentines Appeal Dismissed.

WA sH1NoroN, March l2.-The Supreme
Court to-day refused to interfere in the case
OF Anna Valentino, the Italian woman who
was convicted at Hackensack, N. j., in 1904
for murder and sentenced to be hanged,
Her counsel endeavored to secure her release
on a writ of habeas corpus by applying to
the United States circuit Court for the Dis
trict OF New Jersey, alleging that the charge
Of the trial judge to the jury, by leaving
nothing to the jury to decide exoeptthe ques-
ton whether the conviction should be for
murder in the first or second degree, de-
prived her Of her rights under the Consti-
tuition. The writ was denied for lack of
jurisdiction, and the court to-day affirming
that action as proper, dismissed her appeal.
The proper method Of procedure was through
O writ Of error in the New Jersey courts,
and this course will probably be pursued. =

PERRY BELMONT HEARD.
Before House Elections Committee TO Ex.
plain His Publicity Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Perry Belmont
was to-day before the House Committee
on Election Of the President, Vlce-Preeident
publicity bill, which requires the national
committees of political parties to publish
their contribution for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Belmont told how the bill was in
tended to operate and reoited some Of
the grievances against which all honest
men in politics justly complain, notably
the disclosures Of the contribution Of policy
holders money by the big insurance COM
panies to campaign committees, These
contributions, said Mr.. Belmont, nullify
the foundation for the future policy Of
every political party. Their influence is
such that they set at naught the promises
Of political parties.
Mr., Belmont explained the publicity law
an example OF it's unjust and inadequate
operation. In the last Mayoralty cam
paign Mr.. Hearst expended Sos 900, and
very properly published that fact, as re-
quired by law.
On the other hand, Mr.. jerome made
affidavit that he had expended nothing,
while it was we'll known that although he
ran as an independent, there was a Jerome
committee which did collect and expend
money in his behalf, and, while Mr.. Belmont
did not question the legality Of its expendi-
ture, he declared that the showing was
absurd that Hearst had spent thousands
while Jerome had spent nothing.
Representative Cochran spoke at length
in advocacy of publicity for campaign
contributions in excess OF $50. Referring
to Mr.. Belmont's statement concerning the
expenditures of Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Jerome.
Mr. Cock ran said IL WAS a we'll known fart
that the District Attorney had a campaign
fund, and -since election there has been
q pretty persistent representation that
some of this fund came from quarters
which. il it had been suspected at the time,
would have changed the whole character
Of the result"
Mr.. Cochran declared that he did not
decry campaign contributions; he only
wanted to know where they came from and
what they we're Used for.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Under to-day's
