A frank public discussion of the sub

day in the senate was devoted to con
sideration of the railroad rate bill

ceedings by presenting an amend

the rate question, and tney we're roI-

Washington, March 26.-There was
hint IN the senate at an effort to
fix a time for the final vote on the
railroad rate bill, but it was sur
rounded by so much doubt that no
prediction as to the r1me would be
justified. The suggestion as to a
time arose in connection with more
or less serious effort on the part of
number of senators to secure i'm
med ate consideration of amendments
offered by themselves. Senator Till
man resisted all attempts of that kind
in the absence of many senators,
saying that votes ought not to be
taken W thOut full notice to senator's
Among the provisions offered were:
by Senator Foraker, prohibiting the
issuance of passes; by Senator Scott,
compelling railroads to connect with
other railroads; by Senator gilbert
son, denying to interstate roads the
priv lege of making campaign contri-
buttons.
Following the presidents sugges,
ton, the house passed several resolu-
tons to correct useless printing Of
public documents and it was claimed
that this action would result in saw
ing the government upwards of
$1,000,000 annually The fortifica-
tons appropriation bill was sent to
conference, with Messrs. Smith Of
Iowa, Keller of Ohio and Fitzgerald of
New York as conferees. The house
passed bills authorizing the st. Paul
railroad to construct bridges across
the Missouri river in South Dakota;
and granting Professor Simon New
comb, lately connected with the naval
observatory, the right to receive a
decoration from the German emperor

Washington, Mar 22.-The state
hood bill was taken from the speak
ers table in the house, placed in the
hands of three selected conferees and
a request made of the senate for a
conference on the disagreeing votes
Of the two houses. This action was
not accomplished without many words
and votes. The final vote on the adop-
ton OF the rule showed that ITS mem
hers approved and 156 opposed. This
rule related to the reference of the
measure to the committee of confer
ence. The legislative appropriation
bill constituted the subject for the re-
mainder of the day. Criticism was
made of the management of the H.
brary of congress and Mr.. Hardwick
Of Georgia found himself opposed by
members of both sides of the cham
Der in his endeavor TO resist the
white house appropriation so as to
eliminate a social secretary for the
Wife of the president.
The railroad rate bill occupied prac-
-ically all the time of the senate.
There were two speeches, one by Sen
ator Lodge, the other by Senator
Spooner. Senator Lodge spoke in
advocacy of his amendment looking
TO enlargement of the interstate com
merce commission. Senator Spooner
devoted his attention to the constitu-
tiOnal powers of inferior courts, con
tending that those courts could not
be destroyed nor their jur sdiction
taken from them.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Spooner concluded his speech on the
railroad rate bill. A cond ton of
anarchy would result from abridging
the powers of the inferior federal
courts, he insisted. The Wisconsin
members remark was called forth by
the efforts Of Senator Bailey and
others to have congress deprive the
circuit and district courts of the
privilege of suspending the interstate
commerce commissions findings on
rate matters. Mr.. Spooner saw great
danger in the Bailey amendment max
Ing only the supreme court capable
Of restraining the commissions or
ders. If adopted the amendment
would not only be unconstitutional
but would have a tendency to drag
down the entire law. The fortified
tions appropriation bill was passed.
1t carries an appropriation of $685.

Chicago Railroads Hiring Men to Take
Freight Handlers Places.

Chicago, June 1s-The threatened
freight handlers strike, which is due
next Thursday, according to the union
schedule assumed a puzzling aspect
yesterday While the men suddenly dis
played faith in reported peace signs the
railroads busily began preparations for
trouble.
Strike breakers and special watchmen
were being hired at several detective
agencies during yesterday and today
No attempt was being made to cover UP
the plans of the roads in this respect
Notwithstanding these activities on the
part Of the railroads an optimistic feel
ing pervaded the atmosphere about the
union headquarters. It was reported
that some of the roads were considering
an advance of wages to the men.

RAIN HELPS CORN CROP
Rock Island Reports Show 1t Did Not
Do Much Damage to Wheat.

Condensing the reports received con-
cerning the effects of the rain yesterday
along the various lines of the Chicago,
Rock Island &. Pacific railway, H. o.
Swortwood, chief operator for the COM
pany here, sent the following dispatch
today to the operating and traffic Off
cials Of the road:
Local showers fell last night and
yesterday in the vicinity of Abilene,
SaIina, Clay Center, Holton. BeIleville
and Hutchinson. It is reported to be
the biggest rain in southwest Kansas
for two weeks and the corn crop Will be
greatly benefited. Reports from over
the southwest part of the state as near
as I can get them from authentic
sources show that wheat was harmed
very little by the wind and rain, and
that only in spots was the wind strong
enough to beat down the wheat and it
is thought that the rain will help the
later crops of wheat to fill out. There
was no rainfall on the Oklahoma or Pan
handle divisions last night"

BAILEY WILL SPEAK.
Ex-Governor offers to Enter Republi-
can Campaign.

Governor Hoch and his keynote
can party on or about July 20. The
place for the meeting has not been Sc
lected. 1t may be held in the Topeka
auditorium. There is some talk, how
ever, of making it a big outdoor affair,
with picnic attachments, in which case
it would probably be held at some
smaller town.
The exact nature of the plans will not
be decided upon until after the big
Democratic poW-Wow to be held in Fort
Scott on June 30. The June 80 affair is
a dollar banquet, at the Fort Scott con-
vention hall, and it is expected that 800
people viii be present.
It is not likely that the opening of
the Republican campaign will be quite
as extensive an affair as the Democrats
have planned. Nearly all the spellbind-
ers on the Democratic ticket are on the
banquet programme, but the plan of the
Republicans is to give Governor Hoch
almost full swing at Republican meet
ings.
It was announced today at Republi-
can headquarters that Ex-Governor W
J. Bailey has offered to make speeches
during the campaign wherever he is
wanted. This action on the part Of
Governor Bailey caused a large amount
of joy at Republican headquarters, be-
cause Bailey is not only the foremost of
the Republican speakers, but his work
on the stump will tend to pacify a good
deal OF the anti-Hoch talk.

Cromwell Dehes the Order of Senate
Committee.

Washington. June 19.-In defiance
of the order of the senate committee
on interoceanic canals that he answer
certain questions propOunded to him In
the investigation of Isthmian canal af-
fairs, William Nelson Cromwell re-
peated his refusals today. He stated
that the questions involved confidential
relations with his client, the new Pan
anna Canal company The questions
were read to him by Senator Morgan
and when the first one was asked
which concerned the first work he did
for the Panama Canal company IN
America, the witness calmly took from
his pocket a briefly prepared statement
which he proceeded to read.
He stated that his knowledge of the
subject under discussion was derived
in the course of his professional en-
ployment and that he must decline to
disclose the interests of his employer
concerning any private business mat
ters. In refusing he said he did so
with the profoundest respect for the
committee.
After going over the previous record
at some length in order to give the wit
ness another opportunity to answer the
committee adjourned until next Tues
day without having concluded the
record.
