WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular correspondent
Washington. d. G.. April 14.-If the
Senate is mar king time on the rate bill
and finding excuses for not speaking,
the House is by no means talked out.
Bourke Cochran this week had an hour
Of time granted him in which to cx-
press his views, and they were we'll ex
pressed and went to the point as is U.s.
uel with bis speeches. What he ad-
vised was for the House to ''stand pat"
on the rate bill and allow no amend
ments from the Senate. He said that
in common with good many other
members, be had gone over the Hep.
burn bill, hoped to strengthen it by
amendment, but he found that in ev-
cry case be had been anticipated by the
trainers of the bill and he thought that
the best thing to do was to pass the
bill as it stood and not allow the Sem
ate to saddle it with amendments. In
the matter of a court review provision,
Mr.. Cochran took the very common
sense view that if any railroad were
not satisfied with the ruling of the
Commission, all it had to do to secure
a court review was to fail to enforce
the order. This would at once throw
the matter into the courts and get the
ruling that all the court review amend
msnts purported to seek. 1t was quite
q simple, homely speech and as notice
had been given that it was to occur,
the galleries were crowded. or course
so long a. the bill is under considera
tion in the Senate, the talk on tho
House end is rather beside the mark,
but it is an Indication to the Senate
that the House for once intends to
stand on its rights and that if the bill
comes back from the Senate in any con
slderably amended shape, It is hkely
to have hard time before it gets to
conference and afterward.
Almost az old as the proposal to
change the date af the Presidential in
suguration is the proposal to elect
Senators by a popular vote. But the
measure has been introduced again by
MIR. Norris of Nebraska. ana in spite OF
the fact that the bill has four times
passed the House and has been killed
In the Senate, there is renewed talk of

get details of the great disaster. In
general 1t may be said that the district
lying between Market and Howard
streets, from the bay as far az the city
hall, has been totally wrecked.
The hotels in the vicinity of Third
and Market streets were badly shak, n
but there seems to have been no loss of
life. The Call and Examiner buildings,
as we'll as the Western Union building
were badly wrecked. All the large
department stores in this nelghbor-
hood were ruined, but the shock came
when they were EN- PITY, and no loss of
life is reported. Farther east on Mar
ket street toward the ferry is section
occupied by cheap lodging houses and
hotels, and here the loss of life is said
to be very great, though at this time
the extent is not known. Fires are
burning in a number of places along
Market street and all the water mains
are ruined, and the authorities have
resortsd to dynamite to check the
progress OF the flames. The residen-
tlal section of the city, while badly
shaken, reports no loss of life or ssri-
GUS damage.
IA disastrous fire broke out on the
south side of Market street near the
Palace Hotel, and as no water could
be gotten it was not long before this
magnificent building was in flames
All business has been suspended and
the utmost confusion prevails. Power
of every kind is gone, and there are
no lights. either gas or electric. Be.

The damage by the earthquake appar

streets are blockaded with debris and
