A time row for the freshmen eight and a paddle for the varsity eight and four cared crews made up the mornings work.

HOUSE ADOPTS MEAT
 INSPECTION MEASURE
WISHES OF THE PRESIDENT ARE MET IN THE MAT
 TER.

An Effort Made in the House to Extend
 the Time of Debate--Distribntion of
 Agricultural Appropriation BiII---
 Bills Passed Under Suspension of tue
 Rules.
 Washington, June 19.-With practical unanimity to-day the house adopted the amendment for the Beveridge amend ment to the agricultural appropriation bill, relating to meat inspection. the objectionable features of former amendments being eliminated and the amendment being perfected to meet the wishes of the president. An effort was made to extend the time of debate but MT. WadsWorth, chairman of the com mittee on agriculture, desiring to get the bill into conference as soon as pos slble, objected to the granting of ad- ditional time, although nearly an hour was consumed in the discussion of the measure. After the adoption of the amendment the bill was sent to con- ference, the conferees being MT. Wads- worth of New York, Mr. Scott of Kan- sas and MT. Lamb of Virginia.
 Immediately after the disposition of the agricultural appropriation bill, hIAls under suspension of the rules were passed. Among the more important were the bills in relation to the inmu- nity of value and to provide for coln- age system in the Philippine islands; and granting the right to the city of St. Louis to erect free bridge across the Mississippi river at that point.
 Through the efforts of Champ Clark of Missouri and MT, Williams of Missis- sippi the bill known as the subsidiary silver coinage measure failed of secuS- ing enough votes to pass 1t nndar the rules.

RATE BILL AGREEMENT
 PROBABLY NEXT WEEK
COMMITTEE WITHHOLDING ITS REPORT TO DODGE DEBATE
 UPON IT.

Conversations Which COnferees Have Had With Various Members of the Senate and House Indicate That There Are Only Three Amendments
 That Are Giving TrOubIe--The Anti
 Pass Amendment.
 Washington, June 19.-From present indications the conferees on the railroad rate bill will not reach an agreement until some time next week, which in all probability will be the last week of the session. The purpose of withholding their report, it Is said, is to avoid q repetition of the long debate in the sem ate which followed the recent report or the conferees, and resulted in sending the bill back to conference.
 Conversations which conferees have had with various members of the sen ate and house indicate that there are only three amendments that are giving trouble, These are the amendment making pipe lines common carriers, the commodity amendment and that which commission shall be given five days notice before hearings are granted up- on application for injunctions setting aside orders of the commission.
 A new argument has been advanced against the amendment requiring that five days notice be given of hearings for injunctions. Labor organizations have demanded that a bill be passed which would require that they be given five days notice of injunctions to re- strain them from engaging in strikes. This is a political argument which has given much concern, and the house con ferees during recent sessions have de- manded that this amendment be elim- inated, for the reason that it would es- tablish a precedent for similar legisla' tion in the interests of labor.
 The anti-pass amendment is in dis pute, but it is said that an agreement concerning it can be reached by re- drafting the amendment so as to pro- vide merely that passes shall not be is sued to members of congress, officials of the. executive departments, presiden tial electors and other classes ovel which the federal government admit tedly has control.
 Because of the absence from the city of Senator Elkins and Representative Sherman the conferees did not meet to- day, but decided to hold a session at o'clock tomorrow.

AGRAR1AN LEGISLATION
Second Stage Initiated in Lower House
 of Russian Parliament.

Second Stage Initiated in Lower House
 of Russian Parliament.
 St. Petersburg, June 19-The election of the agrarian commission of ninety nine to-day initiates the second stage of agrarian legislation in the lower house of parliament; but the unwieldy size of the commission, and the reservation of eight places for members who have not yet arrived, gives slight prospect of speedy presentation of a draft of a law. The commission consists virtually of the inner circle of the strongest men in parliament, the constitutional demo- crats naming among the members M. Petrunkevitch, Professor Hertzenstein, Prince Delgourokoff, M Petrajivsky and Nicholas Lvoff the group of toll M. Anikin and M. Alladin, and the con- servatives, count Heyden, M. Stako- vich and Prince Georgi Lvoff, Volkon- sky and Urusoff. The make up of the commission is regarded as moderate, and the selection of M. Petrajivsky and Lvoff is evidence that the constitutional democrats are not irrevocably commit ted to the project elaborated by the party convention held on the eve of the assembling of parliament, both the dep uties named having vigorously attack ed the provision for the rental instead of sale of appropriated lands as step towards naturalization. The Polish representatives are unanimously oppos- ed to this proposition, and 1t probably will be eliminated, as it was inserted only in deference to the radical group, which the constitutional democratic leaders are no longer attempting to conoiliate.
 The woman suffrage debate evoked arguments familiar in the United States, M. Petrunkevich picturing g regiment of amazons guarding the Tauride palace; but the discussion as. sumed almost the dimensions of riot when it was transferred to the corri' dors, where deputatlon of women sui fragists conducted a tunultuous propa ganda and assailed with such vehe mence peasant members who opposed the principle that the deputies fled.
 Though rumor Is busy with the sue cess of the reactionaries at Peterhof reassuring information has been receiv ed from the palace tonight that Elm peror Nicholas has decided to send senatorial commission to the Balt provinces to investigate the complaint against the activity of the military au thorities and to learn whether they ar justified in claiming that executions an martial law cannot be abandoned.
 The Metropolitan Antonius, enter taining members of the lower house to night, assured them that the govern , ment did not intend to recess parlis ment against the will of the majority.
