CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 10.-Shells and
projectiles for the navy will, after
June 80, 1906, be purchased by the
bureau of ordinance in open market
instead of as is now the practice, in
secret markets from firms engaged in
the manufacture of these articles.
This change in existing conditions
was brought about through efforts of
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 adveruse
for proposals for shells and project
lies so that all firms engaged in the
business of their manufacture may
have an opportunity to compete
amendments designed to enlarge the
yards at Washington, D. c., and
Pensacola, Florida were defeated.
The senate completed consideration
of the second section of the railroad
rate bill A number or important
changes were made in the second sec

atty of fine and Imprisonment against
shippers who secure rebates from
transportation companies. There
was a continuous debate throughout
the day.

Washington, May 15.-While the
debate on the personnel of the inter
state commerce commission was IN
progress in the senate Senator Til
man took the floor to make state
ment on behalf of ex-senator Chand-
Ter, which has been momentarlly eX'
pected since Senator Lodges con-
veyance last Saturday to the senate
of the presidents emphatic denial OF
some statements attributed to Mr..
Chandler by the South Carolina SEN
ator. 81 declare most emphatically,
declared Senator Tillman, that to no
human being have l ever given au-
thoritv or even expressed wish to
have any conference with Theodore
Roosevelt in regard to the bill now
under consideration. On the contrary
I have expressed the opinion in more
than one public interview that he had
nothing to do with it and that 1t was
the business of the senate, and
while 1 did. at his request, enter into
negotiations with the attorney gen
eral, it is we'll known to every sena-
tor on this floor what my attitude and
feelings have been and it is most re-
markable that while the president
sent for democrat after democrat to
confer with him about this measure
that he should undertake under the
circumstances to assert that sent
an agent to him to begin negotiations.
The statement is absurd on It's face.
The charge I made and still make is
that the president is guilty of bad
faith and the rate bill, which will be
when enacted into law, much
better and stronger measure than we
had hoped to get, has been emascu-
lated of one of its most valuable and
essential features by the PRESIDENT

Washington, May. 11.-Senator Bal
ley's non-suspension amendment, ap-
plying to orders of the interstate COM
merce commission as covered by the
railroad rate bill, which has occupied
so much of the attention of the senate
in connection with that bill, was ad-
versely disposed by a vote of % to
"a, practically a party vote. An
amendment offered by Senator Ray
ner combining court review to consti-
tutIonal questions, was also voted
down. A number Of other amend
ments, offered in the main by demo
Gratis and by Senator La Toilette,
were rejected. The votes were gen
orally along party lines during the
entire day, but the Wisconsin sena-
tor voted with the democrats on all
propositions and Senators McEnery
and Morgan, democrats, voted with
the republicans on most of them The
only amendments accepted were those
offered by Senator Allison, striking
out the phrase fairly remunerative"
in the provision allowing the inter
state commerce commission to fix
rates; limiting the operations of or
ders of the commission to two years,
and making the interstate commerce
commission the defendant in suits
challenging rates fixed by it. The
anti-pass provision, heretofore adopt
ed, was again discussed. 1t is evil
dent that it will be modified.

Washington, May 12.-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 statement by
Senator Tillman covering the details
of his and Senator Bailey's negotia-
lions, through ex-senator Chandler,
with the president regarding the rate
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 defense by Senator Carter In
his statement Senator Tillman said
the president had referred slightingly
to Senators Knox, Foraker and Spoon
err, and in his answer Senator Lodge
said the president had characterized
the statement as a falsehood

Washington, May 14.-The sena-
torial railroad rate incident in the
senate Saturday, had it's 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 to 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-
cifically 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
