The bill as ii came from the house
Mr.. Tillman characterized as loosely
Worded and capable of different inter-
pretations. Discussing the alleged in-
adequacy OF the measure, he said it
IS the duty Of the senate to make such
amendments as shall produce the best
possible law and relieve the distress

one will deny
In thus commenting upon the bill
Mi. Tillnal said he can claim to give
expression to no opinion except his
own The object songiiE lie added,
best can be outlined ia the language
of the president III his last annual mes
sage to congress.
Friends of the railroads contend,
urged Mr. Tillnlan that congress cam
not limit the jurisdiction of the circuit
courts while OH the other hand, he
added, Ii is asserted will, equal eiil-
pllasis that the power to create all
courts, other than the supreme court
rests alone in congress and that such
courts being statutory are necessarily
limited in their scope and power by the
authority, which creates them. He
continued: myself incline most
confidently to- this view and have not
the slightest doubt that it is possible
to properly amend this bill So as to
