Washington, May 1.-THE senate
proceedings were devoted exclusive
ly to consideration of the rate bill,
and they included many interesting
and some sensational features. OF
the latter class was a statement by
Senator Tillman covering the details
of his and Senator Bailey's negotia-
lions, through ex-senator Chandler.

bill, and Senator Lodges reply for the
president to that statement Scarcely
less exciting was an attack made
upon the president by Senator Bailey
and a defense by Senator Carter In
his statement Senator Tillman said
the president had referred slightingly
to Senator's Knox, Foraker and Spoon.

Washington. May 1.-THE sena-
torial railroad rate incident in the
senate Saturday, had its sequel when
an official statement was issued from
the white house, giving an account of
the subject on the part of the presi-
dent and Attorney General Moody
The statement comprised two letters,
one from the president 10 Senator
Allison and the other from Attorney
General Moody to the president, both
dated today. The president says "in
no case, either in the case of Mr..
Chandler or anyone else, was there
the slightest opportunity for any hon
est misconception of my attitude or
any belief that I pledged myself spe-
ciically to one and only one amend
ment or set of amendments" The
session of the senate passed without
an exciting incident and without the
adoption of a single amendment to
the railroad rate bill, notwithstand-
ing that the measure was under con-
sideration practically all day. The
most characteristic feature was the
rejection of amendments. Among
the provisions adversely disposed of
were several intended to fix the liza
bility of railroads for injury to en-
ployes. The presentation of provi-
sions intended to accomplish this
purpose had the effect of bringing out
a practically authoritative statement
that the committee on interstate COM
merce will report an independent to
the house bill on that subject, which
is pending before it. Senator Lodge
offered a substitute providing for a
new commission of nine members,
one from each of the judicial circuits,
but Indicated willingness to accept
modification, suggested by Senator
Bailey, requiring the creation of nine

ci,arue Biz Conspiracy.

Manitowoc, Wis, May 16.-Charg-
ing conspiracy on the part of rela-
tiyes to secure possession of valuable
patents, the sweetheart of Anton
Kaltenurem, a St. Nazianz youth who
was brought here for examination as
to his sanity, has created a sensation
that may result in an inquiry and ar
rests The woman who came here
when her lover was taken into Gus
tody, induced the court to withhold
the examination for ten days. Kal-
ternurem is the inventor of a patent
feed cutter and it is alleged that a
large sum of money has been offered
i2r the patent rights. The woman
claims that the illness of her lover is
due to i'll treatment, starvation and
abuses. Kaltenurem escaped when
first brought to the city and walked
to his home twenty-five miles.

St. Petersburg, May 15.-After
struggling a whole day until late over
the draft OF the reply to the speech
from the throne members of the com
mittee of the lower house postponed
the final work of phraslng the docu-
ment until today. The struggle has
centered mainly on the agrarian
plank, to which the peasant members
found the recommendations of the
constitutional democratic convention,
though calling for a large measure of
forced appropriation, were not sweep
ing enough. The peasants wished the
abandonment of most of the llmita,
ton and qualifications of the right of
appropriation Besides the points of
universal amnesty and adjustment of
the death penalty, the document
adroitly introduces the subjects of the
adjustment of the council of the en-
pire and of ministerial responsibility
Taking as its text Emperor Nicho-
las pledge in his speech from the
throne, TO maintain inyiolate the in
situations which be has granted, the
address expresses the hope that this
signifies that the country is on the
road to a strictly constitutional Sys-
TEN. This being true, parliament
wishes to call attention to the fact
that the council Of the empire is a
wall of separation between the en-
peror and the people. Then. sdvocat-
ing a responsible ministry selected
from the dominant party in parlia-
ment, the address points out as a
great advantage of that system the
cessation of attacks on the monarch.
The iron hand behind the respectful
wording Of the address peers out in
the paragraph regarding amnesty,
which contains these significant
words:
There are some demands which
cannot be refused, and this is one"
Workmen are remembered by refer
ence to the need of amelioration in
the condition of labor, while for Polo
and other nationalities, the address,
though avoiding the word autonomy
and insisting on the maintenance OF
the bonds OF the empire in full
strength, speaks for the right of each
nationality to it's own language. Gus

It is reported that the cabinet has
practically decided upon the amnesty
measure. which. though falling far
short Of the universally demar led by
the lower house, confirms the idea of
the council! of the empire Of granting
pardon to all political offenders except
those convicted of murders or at
tempts to murder.

instead of as is now the practice, in
secret markets from firms engaged in

This change IN existing conditions

the chairman of the appropriations
committee, Mr. Tawney Of Minnesota,
who offered an amendment to the
naval appropriations, which the house
had under consideration, directing
the secretary of the navy to advertise
for proposals for shells and project
lies so that all firms engaged in the
business Of their manufacture may
have an opportunity to compete
