with the intimation that the railroads

senate Senator Dolliver expressed
displeasure with the plea for amend
ments and went so far as to say thai
the help of such friends as Senator
Rayner could very well be dispensed
with. Other senators VINO par
tieipated in the debate were Senators
Aldrich, Tillman and Knox. Sena-
tor Knox freely expressed his opinion
that the bill would be unconstitu-
tional without a provision for review
of the commissions findings by the
courts, and Senator Aldrich stated his
belief that he and Senator Rayner

on the opinion that the federal gov

regulation of the sale and branding
of food, which right is held by the
minority to be essentially within
the police powers of the states.

are responsible for delay or made

wrath and indignation are hoSsted
there will have been some fine grind

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS,

Adams experiment station appropria-
ton increase bill was passed by the
senate unanimously. 1t provides for
the eventual increase of the appro-
priation to state agricultural expert
ment stations from the present an
Eual allowance of $4,000 to $4,000.
An immediate increase of $4,000 is
provided and after this year an an
nual increase of $4,000 is made until
the annual amount for each station
becomes 100000. There was sharp
division of opinion in the senate over
the question of whether the Tillman-
Gillespie resolution instr6cting the
interstate commerce commission to
inquire into the railroad holdings of
coal and of lands Is of character
iustitying the presidents message re-
garding it. Senator Tillman com
planned that the president had
charged congress with insincerity,
pretense and ignorance, and Senators
Lodge and Spooner took the position
that the charge of ignorance was war
ranted. The debate was spirited but
was interrupted when the railroad
rate bill was called up and Senator
Culberson consumed two hours in
a legal argument in which he has in
troduced a substitute for the pend
