ness shortly before O'Clock and held

for q brief legislative session a few
minutes after ) o'clock
MIR. Hayner was the chief speaker of
the day and the debate that took place
was provoked by some Of his utter
ancea. Among the senators who We're
aroused by him were Messrs. Foraker.
Lodge and Dolliver.
Both the Ohio senator and the Massa-
chusetts senator took exception to Mr..
Rayner's contention that the railroads
have iTterfered i'll the framing Of the
bill and Mr.. Foraker also expressed
himself as dissatisfied with the inti-
nation that the railroads are
represented on the floor Of the Senate.
Mr.. Dolliver expressed displeastire
with the plea for amendments and went
SO far as 10 say that the help of such
friends az Mr.. Rayner could very well
be dispensed with.
Other senators who participated in
the debate We're Messrs. Aldrich, Till
man and Knox. Mr. Knox freely ex-
pressed his opinion that the bill would
be demonstrations without d provision
for the review Of the commissions find
ings b.! the courts and Mr.. Aidrich
stated his belief that he and Mr.. Ray
ncr we're not greatly at variance in
their views. He declined. however. to
agree to accept amendments which
were outlined by the Maryland senator.
Mr.. Tillman reiterated his objection
to the bill and INDUCED in some crarac-
teristic phrases in stating his position.
concluding with the remark that he be
lievci that the bill could be 50 amend
ed as to make it acceptable.
The argument Of Mr. Hayner was di-
rectcd in favor Of the general PROPOSE
ton that Congress has the right to fix
rates but that the bill should be so
AMENDED as to dispense with the sus-
pension provision. He also advocated
other amendments
