Most Important Act Since
Reconstruction Days.
QUIET END TO LONG CONTEST
Tiliman at Close Gives Credit to
President-Vote Practically
Unanimous.

There was nothing dramatic or strik-
ing or particularly worth while about
the passage OF the railroad rate bin IN
the Senate late yesterday afternoon For
seventy days IL had been under consid-
GRAFTON continuously. There was not a
theatrical possibility left in the situa-
tion: and when. late in the afternoon,
the Secretary was ordered to call the roll
on the passage of what is widely regard
ed as the most important piece Of legis-
lation since the reconstruction days.
there was no variation from the listless
monotony OF the ordinary Senate roll
call
In it's last hours of consideration OF the
bill the Senate held a heart-to-heart dis
course on the virtaeg and the failings Of
the measure. The Constitutional law
yers got tba last word. and In the very
latest momSut struck out an objection

fend the Supreme Court Several Sena-
tors delivered what sounded more like
funeral orations. Senator Morgan. when
about TO cast his vote against IL, told his
reasons. Senator Foraker did likewise
Senators Tillman and Bailey expressed
the belief that while far from what they
would wish Il. the bill was a great
achievement; and Senator Tillman chiv-
alrously paid tribute 10 his beloved en-
emy, the President, saying that but for
him there would have been no rate bill

could have been accomplished. and

bill has been made a great accomplish,
ment. On the roll t,aIl all save Morgan

sentees were AIdrich, Burton. Burrows

Platt, Proctor. Sutherland. Warren. Or
behalf of all who did not vote by reason
Of absence, IL was explained. either BY
their pairs or by their colleagues, that
II present they would have voted for the
bill.
The bill has constituted almost the
sole theme Of general legislation to re-
ceive attention at the hands Of the Sen
ate this session. and in public estimate
is widely accepted as the most import
ant single piece Of legislation in years
The measure represents the original
draft made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, afterward modified by Sen
ators Dolliver and Clapp. Representa-
tive Hepburn, and others: introduced in
the house from the Committee on In
terstate Commerce of that body, which.
made a unanimous report in favor Of It:
passed by the House after a short dis
cussion without amendment, and with
Democrats joining Republicans in be-
half of this program Of non-amendment.
Three Months Debate in Senate.
It went then to the Senate and was
for weeks hung up In the Interstate
Commerce Committee of that body;
finally reported on February without
change and without recommendation by
a combination of Republicans and Dem
ocrats. and placed in charge OF Senator
Tillman- Then IL went through the ex-
perience of general debate, lasting near
ly three months. Next came considera-
tion by sections for amendment, under
the fifteen-minute rule. This order was
marked by extensive amendment of the
measure. which as passed by the Sen
ate is decidedly changed and much more
radical than the House bill
AS IL leaves the Senate the bill applies
common carriers, including oil PIPE
'es. railroads. sleeping car. and ex-
ess companies; and makes the rail
ads responsible directly Tor private
car lines and like devices. 1t gives the
commission power over all these instru-
ments of transportation: over ioirs
rates and routes, whether by more than
one railroad. or partly by rail and partly
by water.
Every charge for transportation is re-
Quired to De Just and reasonable. No
pass shall be given save to certain ex-
cepted classes that include employees and
their families, subjects op cnarity, sur

TAINTED MONEY.

William Jennings Bryan, who was
President Of the Board cf Trustees OF
Illinois College, located in Jackson,
vile. H., has written from Hong Kong.
China, rendering his resignation, to
take effect at once. Mr.. Bryan refus.
'es to serve as President Of the Board
Or Trustees because the Board wishes
TO take advantage Of the offer made
by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the steel
baron, to extend aid to Western Col
Ieges.
He says the colleges that accept are
selling out to the ''plutocrats'' Of the
land who are seeking to strsngle
economic truth.
The issue presented" writes Mr..
bryan, seems to me to be & vital one,
land even if Carnegie refuses, the
same question will likely arise if
some other trust magnate invites
request.
Our college cannot serve God ad
Mammon
1t cannot be a college for the peo,
pie and at the same time commend It,
self to the commercial highwaymon
who are now subdizing the colleges
to prevent the teaching Of economic
truth
1T grieves me to have Alma Mater
converted into an ally Of 'pIutocracy,
but having done what ! could to pre-
vent it, | have no other course than
to withdraw from its management.

to be taken, was not taken before

THE ONLY HOPE
is COMPROMISE IN THE MINERS
CONFERENCE
President Mitchell TO Present His
Cause Today-Air is Fall of
Strike Talk-operators
Are Firm.

New York, Feb. 14.-Everything is
now in readiness for the conference
between the anthracite mine operat-
ors and the committee from the Mine
Workers of America which will LIsin
in this city at 1870 Thursday after
noon in the Central building at Lib
eTty and West streets, where most of
the coal companies have their offices.
1t is expected that the opening session
will be decidedly formal. The demands
of the miners will be presented
through their president, John Nit
chell, and will be taken under con
sideration by the coal companies but
it is not expected that an immediate
answer will be given but that adjourn
ment will be taken until later date.
The present indications all point to
a deadlock and even the most enthu-
siastic members of the mine workers
committee admit that they hardly eX-
pect 10 secure everything that the
union wants but they have hopes that
the mine owners will consent to the
basic demands and that compromise
can be reached.
The situation is decidedly serious,
however, and the air is full of strike
! talk.
| The demands Of the miners were
completed today and are now care
| fully guarded in the possession of Mr..
| Mitchell They don't differ in any
material way from the forecasts al
ready made public, and are decidedly
emphatic in the demands for 'recogni-
ton of the union; the eight hour work
day; an increase in wages and reorg-
anization of the Cancellation board,
SO that each district will have its own
| body to pass upon disputes arising
within the district"
If the operators maintain their
present attitude every one Of the de-
mands, with the possible exception of
the latter, viii be rejected. While a
few of the mine owners think it would
| be advisable to grant nominal in
crease they are not willing to make
it more than one or two per cent, and
the bigger operators, such as Wilcox
and Baer are reported to be absoiu,
tely opposed to any increase.
The recognition Of the union clause
will be opposed by nearly every ope.
rator in the anthracite field. Inas-
much as President Mitchell and his
subordinates are a unit in believing
! the mine workers must have official
recognition, unless some one backs
down, the strike will come on this one
point alone, no matter what may be
the outcome of the other demands.
There were a number Of conferen,
ces today between leading operators
but they have adopted a policy of Sc
crecy and absolutely decline at the
present time to forecast the outcome
Of the meetings.
