NEGOTIATIONS HALTED.
Apparent Uncertainty in the Railway
Rate Situation.

Negotiations over the railroad rate bill
are temporarily at a standstill, for the
reason, mainly. there are so many factions
in both parties in the Senate that no one
particular proposition can summon a cor
poral's guard with which to negotiate, and
moreover no would be negotiator can get a
following for his basis of negotiation. Not
only the question is at issue of what kind
of a review amendment shall be proposed,
but also who shall have the honor of die
tating 1t.
This muss has led some Of the friends of
the Hepburn bill to renew the hope that
the bill may finally pass. without amend
ment They argue that when the time
comes for voting on amendments no ef-
fective review amendment will be accepted.
and that after all amendments are voted
down the naked Hepburn bill will remain
and the question will recur upon its ac-
ceptance or rejection.
That proposition IL secuted by the con-
servativee in the Senate. They say that
it would be folly to pass bill that IL un-
constitutional. az they claim this to be.
They point out that even President Roose-
welt was OF opinion six weeks ago that the
bill must be amended In order to be eff
ieclive
number OF senator's, however. who have
faith in the Hepburn bill In its present
form, stick to the belief that the Senate
will finally have to take It or nothing.

INQUIRY AUTHORIZED
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
OF ST. ELIzABETH's ASYLUM.

The House today passed a resolution ari-
thortzing an exhaustive investigation of the
st. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum by q COM
mtttee of five members of the House to be
designated by the Speaker. The resolution
was reported from the committee on rules
by unanimous vote
1t Is practically identical with the reso-
luton introduced by Representative Clark
of Florida several months ago, except that
the preamble reciting the horrible condi-
lions at the institution was eliminated. Mr..
Clark's resolution slept In the committee on
rules from the time of its introduction until
today. and would probably have been sleep
ing there yet II its author had not risen ON
the floor day before yesterday and severely
criticised the committee on rules for It's in
action.
It appeared then that Mr.. Clark was not
familiar with the usage OF the House. ana
after introducing the resolution had ner
mitted 1t to lie dormant. Az soon as he
learned that II Was necessary to do a little
persuasive work on the committee on rules
he and Representative Sulzer of New York,
who is also Interested in the proposed In
vestigation. got busy and appeared before
the committee this morning with Attorney
Evans OF the Medico-Lsgal Society OF the
District. Affadavits In support OF the
many charges made against the institu-
ton were presented to the committee and
the resolution was favorab1y reported i'm
mediately thereafter.
Speaker Cannon told q Star reporter this
morning that he would probably not name
the congressional investigating committee
until Monday, as he would have to LOOK
over the membership OF the House to find
Ave mon who had the time to devote to this
rather difYicult task.
The resolution. "a reported. authorizes
most complete Investigation. and empowers
the COMMITTEES OF inquiry to compel the at
tendance of witnesses and the production
of records, books. papers and other things
desired by the COMMITTEES which may throw
Hight ON the conditions at the asylum.

THE BARNES NOMINATION.
Senate's Authority viii Be Asked to
Conduct Full Investigation.

The Senate committee on post Offices and
post roads will probably decide on Monday
whether IL will ask the Senate to authorize
it to subpoena witnesses, administer oaths,
etc, in order to secure testimony concern
ing the course of Mr.. Benjamin r. Barnes.
nominated to be postmaster in this city. In
ejectng Mrs. Morris from the White House.
The subcommittee 10 which has been re-
ferred the nomination of Mr.. Barnes con-
sists of Senator Carter, Senator Burrows
and Senator Culberson. This subcommittee
held meeting at the Capitol this after
noon and invited Senator Tillman to APP
pear in order that he might state his views
concerning this case. 1t Is understood that
the subcommittee was Informed that IL
would be impossible to secure witnesses II
IL relied merely upon their voluntary action
In coming before II in this case.
1t was shown that the witnesses were not
interested in the matter and did not care
to volunteer any testimony on this subject.
But, at the same time, 1t was stated there
are quite a number of these witnesses who
are accessible and who can readily be
brought before this subcommittee on sub
poenas. The whole circumstances attending
this matter were gone over, and 1t was de-
cided unanimously by the subcommittee
that Il WIS only proper that an investiga-
ton Of the charges should be made.
In view Of the fact the subcommittee
agreed to ask the full committee, of which
Senator Penrose Is chairman. to request
authority from the Senate to send for Wit
nesses and do all things necessary in order
to secure a proper inquiry into the Barnes
Incident
Senator Penrose Is not In the city today,
but 1t Is expected that he will be here Mon
day morning, and the sense Of the commit
tee on post Offices and post roads win then
be canvassed.
It 10 very generally believed that the
committee Will not deny q proper investi-
cation OF this case As soon as that is
done, II the Senate agrees to have q full

Young Pensacola Man Wanted In New Orleans in Connection With
 Sensational Jail Delivery
 Several Years Ago.


 Pensacola, Fla, June 2S.--(Special.) Governor Broward has honored the reauisition papers applied for by the Governor of Louisiana for Everett Cooper. the notorious young man who Is held in jail here. and the New or leans officers who have been here for several days received them this morn ing.
 Captain Meredith and Assistant Pros ecuting Attorney Trainer. of the Cres- cent City, anticipated legal battle to detain Cooper, but this v as defeated by both Judge Carter and Court coin- missioner coston icing absent from the city, and writ of hahcas corpus could not be sued out.
 Cooper, who has a long and nnenvi- able record in the courts of New Or leans. where he has been arrested up- on numerous charges. including high way robbery, does not relish the idea of returning to prison to serve out his scntence and possibly be implicated in the big jail delivery in which guard was shut and killed. hut when the off cers received the papers this morning authorizing them to take the youthful criminal from Florida to Louisiana nc legal proceedings could be instituted to obtain his release and they left with him today. The figh estimation in which the family of the boy is held and the fact that every effort was made to school him and raise him prop. erly makes the case more interesting locally.

'I Believe In
 Tho Use of Beer
Distingulshed Divine Pleads For POPu-
 lar Beverage in the Home.
--Rev. A. W. Stein

DIstlngulshed Divine Pleads For POPu-
 lar Beverage in the Home.
 From staId old Fitchburg, Mass. comes the voice of a rector pleading for the sane use of wine and beer. The Rev Alexis W. stein. rector of Christ Episcopal Church of that city. and formerly assistant to the Rev. pr. Rainsford at St. Georges Church, New Yofk, and, previously, rector of Christs Church. Cincinnati. believes in facing conditions as they exist. T am one of those" he says, who believe in tbA use of wine and beer. The surest cura for the misuse of them Is the proper use of them. The man who drinks beer in his home with his family and children about him will get no harm himself nor do any harm to anyone else because he drinks. The man wbA spends an hour with a group of friends, among whom are women he respecss, over one or two glasses of beer or light wine. as do some European peo-' pie, will get no harm from it. The beer gardens of Germany are positive forces for good fin the social life of that country"
 That is the reverend gentleman's toll erant ard rational attitude on the question. and had he gone further and examined Into the merits of tho vari- ous beers he would have agreed win some of our most eminent physicians that Pabst Blue Riboon Beer is the best means to temperance because of It's small percentage of alcohol and is great food value. He would also have recommended Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer as do the doctors, fin preference to all otker beers hecause 1t is the absolute ly clean beer,-the beer that is abso- lutely pure. never touched by human hands and never in contact with any air except sterilized and filtered air from the time 1t is brewed till it is poured into your glass" That Is what one we'll known doctor said of It.
 Other doctors say Pabst Blue Rib bon Beer is the cleanest. purest. most wholesome beer brewed and our read lers will agree with us that the doctors ought to know.
