Piles, Lodge and Allis and unofficial
d; legate S. S. Ryan, of Alaska, today
called on the president and elected

Washington, Jan. 16.-Unexpectedly
the senate today found itself consider
ing the railroad rate question, which
was precipitated by Fulton's taking the
floor to make brief speech in explain
alton of an amendment offered by him
to the Dolliver bill, giving to courts of
justice authority to modify orders Of
the Interstate Commerce. commission
imposing an unreasonable rate. He
had not proceeded far when he was
switched from a general explanation Of
the terms of the provision to a defense
of the principle which it seeks to es-
tablish, and general debate of the
bill followed.
The merchant marine bill was then
laid before the senate and Gallinger
urged early attention to this subject.
Scott spoke in support of the bill.
The pure food bill was then taken up
and a number of committee amend
ments were agreed to. Hepburn gave
notice that after the conclusion OF the
routine morning business tomorrow he
would ask the senate to fix a day for
taking vote on the bill.

Depew Will Hang On.

Washington, Jan. %. - Discussing
the rumor that Senator Depew intends
to resign, Senator Plat, his colleague,
said: "Of course Depew is depressed
by the wild charges affecting him that
have been made in the recent past, and
it is very possible this depression has
had some effect on his health. He will
be in his seat this morning to greet his

Wednesday. January II.

Washington, Jan. II. = The recent
forcible removal from the white house
of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the
subject OF emphatic denunciation by
Tillman in the senate today. His re-
marks called out remonstrances from
Hale, Hopkins and Daniel, and led to
the very abrupt closing of the doors
and the sudden adjournment of the
senate in the middle of the afternoon.
The speech abounded in Tillman's Pc
culiar expressions, and was character
lied by many severe and exceptionally
personally thrusts at the president. AT
times he wept over what he regarded
as the indignities to the lady, and his
voice and eyes we're full OF tears when
he declared, in the face of protests from
his fellow senators, that he would de-
mand an investigation of the white
house incident.

Monday, January 81.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The question
OF regulating railroad rates took prac.
tically all OF the time OF the senate to-
that end in view has been reported
from the interstate commerce commit
tee. The discussion of the subject was
in connection with Clary's speech, Al
drich, Foraker, Bailey and Newlands
being the principal participants in ad-
dition to Clay himself.
Clay advocated the passage OF bill
which would give the Interstate Com
merce commission power to regulate
rates, when complained Of, and said
that, if there was no legislation along
that line, the country might count up
on agitation of the question of govern
ment ownership. In that connection,
he referred to the large vote given Mr..
Hearst in the late New York municipal
election as an indication of the poplari-
ty Of municipal ownership Of public
utilities.
Washington, Jan. 22.-With a point
of order pending, the eight-hour clause
OF the Panama canal item in the urgent
deficiency bill was buffeted about in
debate during the greater part of to-
days session OF the house. The debate
was general and the point of order
which will be made by Hogg Of Colo
RADIO, or by Williams, the minority
leader, can only be made when the sec
ton is considered for amendment.
While the eight-hour provision ol
the Panama part OF the bill is what il
objected to most strenuously, speeches
were made for and against the admins.
tration's canal policy. Williams, the
minority leader, declared the work Of
digging ought to be done by contract
De Almond, of Missouri, Immediately
contended that this could not be done
successfully. and Burton, of Ohio, urg
ed that congress should scrutinize ap
preparations. Hepburn, of Iowa, urg' :
the necessity Of Capitalization in re
sponsibility, and wanted the president
held responsible for the work.
