UP TO THE SENATE.

The passage yesterday of the Hep
burn rate bill in the House by a vote
of BAG to Z, places fairly and square,
ly before the Senate the question as
to whether or not a just restraint
shall be placed upon the railroads.
For some time past various Senators
have expressed the opinion that pub
lie opinion is not so strongly set up
on rate regulation as it was. 1t is
difficult to see how they can continue
to believe this, in the face of the
overwhelming majority by which this
bill has been passed on to their no.
tice, by the direct representative of
the people.
The Senate is not to be envied the
position in which it now finds itself.
1t has but two ways to actor or
against the people And the joke of
it all is that which ever way the Sen
ate acts, it will lose caste with the
party against which it decides. If it
gives the railroads the best of the
deal, then the people will be resent
full. If it favors the people, it will
then be placed in a position to feel
the full weight of the resentment OF
the railroads. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senate in this case, will consider
that it can better afford to face the
resentment of the railroads. thar
that of the people. Should this not be
the case it is doubtful if any rate
will worthy Of the name, will bt
passed by the Senate.

HEPBURN BILL
PASSED HOUSE
ALL BUT SEVEN REPRESENTA-
TIvEs VOTE FOR RAILROAD
RATE BILL. #
NOW UP TO SENATE
There is Tendency to Change the
Bill TO Make il Much More
Conservative.
NOW UP TO SENATE

Washington, February S.-The
House today passed the Hepburn
railroad rate bill by a vote of 346 to
7. Those voting against the bill were
Littlefeld, Mccall, Perkins, Sibley,
Southwick, Vreeland and Weeks.
With the passage of the rate bill
in the House interest in this legisla-
ton will now center in the Senate.
The Hepburn bill was sent over to
that body this afternoon and was re-
ferred to the committee on interstate
commerce, which has been wrestling
with the rate question for nine
months.
The committee has agreed to be-
gin voting on the various bills before
it one week from tomorrow. No one
would at this time attempt to pre-
diet how long it will take the COM
mittee to agree on a bill. The tenden-
cy now is to change the Hepburn bill
SO as to make it conform in some
measure to the conservative view of
the dominant forces in the Senate.
The Indiana Representatives present
all voted for the Hepburn bill. Rep
.resentative Zenor, Democrat, was the
only absentee. ,.-.... se.sas .....
The debate on railroad rate bill
in the House brought out statistics
showing that Indiana is the fourth
State in the Union in the, amount Of
taxes collected from railroads. Penn
sylvania, which comes first, collects
annually s5,e72, 723; Illinois, $4,s5o,-
65s; New York, $4,7s2,s15, and Indi-
and, 1901, 1886. Ohio collects annu-
ally only $6s3,644. @s> III 81

nearest to these long runs without
stop is the Empire State Express on
the New York Central from New
York to Albany, 143 miles at the rate
of 1854 miles an hour; and the time
of the same train to Buffalo, 44O
miles in 500 minutes, is just a trihe
faster than that of the Midland Elk
press from London to Glasgow, 447
miles in 40 minutes. The North
western runs a train from London to
Glasgow, 40112 miles, in eight hours,
making only two stops.
The Great Northern runs a train
from London to Doncaster, 156 miles
without stop in 169 minutes, at the
rate of 5512 miles an hour, and the
train runs over England's new road
from London to Sheffield, 165 miles
in 10 minutes, better than So miles
an hour, slipping a car at Leicester
without stop.
These fast and long runs are COM
mon to all the trunk lines in Eng
land, while in the United States the
fast runs are all confined to two
roads, the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania. Compared to many
English fast runs the time between
New York and Washington and Bos-
ton is slow. The distance to the
two cities from New York is about
the same, and in both cases. the fast
es trains, make it in FIVE hours Tor a
little over, now, to BOSTON, or at the
rate of rs miles an hour, three stops
being made in each case.

FRANCE SECOND IN THE LIST
English Roads Remarkable for Long
Runs at High Speed-Few Fast
Trains in This Country.

New York, Feb. S.-Instinctively
people think Of speed as the first and
most interesting feature of the rail-
road, and in view of the develop
ment of railroads in the United
States most Americans will be sur
prised te -tarn that this country is
not first in the matter of fast trains.
England holds the lead and France
is close second.
In this statement reference is
made not to the short bursts of speed
which this or that engine has shown,
and may never show again, but to the
regular scheduled run of trains. In
looking first at England one is apt
to be surprised to find how many fast
TRAINS and long runs without stops
are made THERE daily.
The fastest regular long distance
lUn without stops in the world is on
the Great Western from London to
bristol, 11S112 miles in 120 minutes,
or practically sixty-miles an hour
I'M order to drop passengers at Bath
a car IS dropped from the train with
out stop, time saving device in op-
erhtion on a number of European
roAds, though still unknown here.
The longest run without stop made
in any country is London to Liver
pool on the London & Northwestern
POI miles, made at the rate of fifty
four, miles an hours The next long
est is on thet Midland, from London
to Leeds, 100 miles, a the rate OF
ffty-two miles an hour.
