Washington, May 1.-THE sena-

an official statement was issued from

The statement comprised two letters.

most characteristic feature was the
rejection of amendments. Among
the provisions adversely disposed of

sions intended to accomplish this
purpose had the effect of bringing out

Washington, May 1S.-After 70 days
OF almost continuous deliberation, the
senate passed the railroad rate bill
by the practically unanimous vote of
II to 8. The three negative votes
were cast by Senators Foraker, repub-
lican, of Ohio, and Morgan and Pet.
tus, democrats, of Alabama. The
only amendment adopted was one Of
fered by Senator Teller eliminating
the words lin it's judgment" from the
power given the interstate commerce
commission to fix rates. Features of
the closing debate were references
made by Senators Do1liver and Till
man, two leaders of the opposing
political parties, to the part President
Roosevelt took in bringing about the
passage of the act. Whatever may be
said for or against the president, Sen
ator Dolliver said, he comes out of the
fight with every proposition he has
advanced written in plain terms on the
statute books of the United States
Speeches by several other senators
followed Mr.. Delivers, but anxious
as were the senators to reach a vote
there was, nevertheless, much inter-
est manifested when Senator Tillman
took the floor. After announcing his
intention to vote for the bill as the
best he could do" he entered upon
the task of acknowledging the instru-
mentality of the president in securing
the legislation. He came bluntly to
the point, saying: But for the work
of Theodore Roosevelt in bringing
this matter to the attention of the
country we would not have had any
bill at all. 1t is true the idea was
not his and that the demand for this
legislation was made in three demo
cratic platforms; nevertheless. he
seized upon the idea and the success
of the issue is largely due to his adj
vocacy. I can't congratulate him on
his victory, for ! think we should
have had better bill. The princi-
pal purpose of the bill is to permit
the interstate commerce commission
to fix rates on complaint. Authority
is given the commission to enforce its
orders and they are to go into effect
within 80 days and continue in force
two years unless suspended, modified
or set aside by the commission or by
a court of competent jurisdiction
The legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill was reported

anti-pass amendment, the senate con-
cluded its consideration of the rail-
road rate bill as in COMMITTEES of the

shall be disposed of will take it up
in the senate. The greater part of the
day was spent in discussing the
eight section of the bill relating to
the personnel of the interstate com
merce commission, resulting in the
elimination ofsthe entire section and
the restoration of the present law,
which provides for five commissioners
at salaries of $500.
The house decided to vest in the
supreme court of the District of Co.

10 per cent of the cost, the vote OF
confidence coming after two hours of
hot debate.

sacked city a picture OF the scene OF
ruin and desolation left in the wake OF

The story told by the Associated

the mob and the inabil ty OF the troops
to cope with the excuses during the

1t is evident from the dispatches that
the excuses assumed the character OF
