More Than Two Months.
Washington, May 19-The railway
rate bill passed the senate by vote
of II 70 3. The only votes cast
against 1t were those of Senators For
aker of Ohio and Morgan and Pettus
OF Alabama.
The bill now goes to conference be-
tween the committees of the two
houses. The general opinion is that
the agreement OF the conference com
mittee will sustain the bill in prac-
tically the form that it passed the
senate
Foraker of Ohio, the Republican
who voted against the bill, has been
consistent In his attitude ON the meas
ure. He has been against it since it
was introduced. He contended that ii
was unconstitutional and worthless.
In season and out of season, and re-
fused TO compromise.
Senators Morgan and Pettus of Ala
bama, both more than eighty years OF
age, voted no because the Confederate
legislature proclaimed the doctrine of
states rights and they think the bill
Is not in consonance with that doc
trine.
1t was after seventy days of almost
continuous elaboration that the SEN
ate passed the bill. 1t was reported
to the senate Feb. rs and was made
the unfinished business March IL.
From that date to May the bill was
under general discussion without linn
itation on the duration of speeches.
fifty-eight of which were delivered.
Many of these were prepared with
great care and two of them consumed
more than days time In delivery.
Senator La Toilette spoke for three
days and Senator Daniel OF Virginia
for two days. Senators Bailey, For
aker, Lodge. Rayner, Dolliver and 9th
ers each spoke for an entire day.

POLICY CONFIRMED.
Result of Elections Encouraging to the
French Government.

Paris, May 1.-THE result of the elections
are considered chiefly important in con-
firming the policy which the government
has thus far pursued, particularly on the
question of the separation of church and
state. The groups of the left supporting
the government are strongly increased,
while the opposition groups are uniformly
decreased, the combative nationalists be-
ing almost exterminated. The government
groups are so much increased that they
are no longer dependent upon the social
lists. Out of sol constituencies the govern
ment has carried 262 and the opposition
1e9. Re-ballotng will be necessary In 1856
districts. .
The semi-offcial Temps this evening
sums up the situation as follows:
"The clear meaning of the elections is
that the country does not want to return
to the old regime of church and state.
The electors have declared themselves in
favor of a firm. dignifed foreign policy,
orderly respect for the law at home and
liberal application of the separation
law"
A number of affrays occurred in various
parts of the country between gendarmes
and dsorderly persons. Several people
we're injured including gendarme, who
is dangerously hurt

ELECTION SHOWS
INCREASING GAINS
The French Government Is Being
Strongly Supported-Analysis
of the Groups.

Paris, May 1.-THE election re-
suits today show increasing gov
ernment gains The ministry of
the interior gives the gains at 30 and
the losses at II or net gain of "a seats.
The effect of this is to give the "Bloc"
or groups supporting the government in
the chamber of deputies 243 votes against
a total vote of 146 for the opposition
groups. The governmental left therefore
appears to be assured of a majority of
about a hundred. There remains over $50
districts in which second ballots will be
necessary.
Among the prominent men elected are
former Minister Delcasse. former Prime
Minister Ribot, War Minister Etienne,
Minister of Marine Thomson. former Min
lister of the Interior Dubueff, Count Boni
Castellane the Marquis De Doin. Min
lister of Public Works Barthou. Minister
of Agriculture Ruau. Jean Leon Jaures.
the socialist leader Baudry D'Asson.
Premier Sarrien and Paul Deschanel, for
mer president of the chamber of deputies
Included among the new deputies are NJ.
Leroy -Beaulieu, the political economist,
and Maurice Barres, the Academician.
Two picturesques characters. Colonel
Marchand and M. DeRoulede, require Sec
ond ballots in their districts.
An analysis of the groups shows that
the conservatives have gained two seats,
the republicans of the left wing eight, the
radicals five and the radical socialists
three. The nationalists lost ten seats, the
progressive ten, and the Independent So
cialist party one seat.

STANDARD FIXES
CRUDE OIL PRICES
ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIS OF
OHIO SAYS STANDARD OIL CO. Is
STILL VIOLATING THE ANTI
TRUST ACT IN THAT STATE.

Columbus. O.. May LIN a preliminary
report of his findings as to the methods
of the Standard Oil company in Ohio,
made public today, Attorney General Ellis
says that though the Standard Oil trust
in obedience to a decree of the supreme
court of Ohio reorganzed in 1899, cancel
ling the trust certificates then outstand
ing, and putting all the property they
represented in the hands of the Stan
dard Oil company of New Jersey it has
continued to violate the Valentine Stew
art antitrust act just as before.
In that reorganization he says it in
corporated the departments of the bus-
lness separately. The Buckeye Pipe Line
company, he says. does all tic standard
pipe line transportation, the Onion Tank
company carries all its oil by cars. The
Solar Refining company does its manu-
Featuring, while the Ohio Oil company col
lects the crude oil from the wells in the
fields. That these concerns represent the
same interests is shown by their tax re-
turns that are all made on the same day
on similar forms and they are all repre-
sented by the same attorneys.
The Standard absolutely fixes the price
of crude OIL
Independent companies run their bids
up or down with the Standard price. But
by organizing fake or pirate" COM
panies the Standard manages to drive out
competition without changing oil prices
everywhere, which would be disastrous to
the Standard itself. Such a fake COM
pany is the Manhattan, operating in the
Findlay field.

STATEMENTS UNFOUNDED.
Germany Has Not Encouraged Turkey
In Frontier Matter.

London, May 7.--Walter Runciman, par
liamentary secretary to the local govern
ment board, announced in behalf OF the
government in the House of Commons
today that the British government has
been Informed by the government OF Ger
many that there Is no foundation for the
statements that the action of Turkey re-
specting the Egyptian frontier has been
encouraged by the German government.
Foreign Secretary Grey, in the House of
Commons this afternoon after informing
the house of the terms of the British
note to Turkey already known, went on
to say that the extent of the demand
put forward by the Porte and the tone
and character of its communication to
the Khedive made it impossible to defer
a settlement indefinitely That was why
the British government was now press
ing its original demand for joint de-
limitation of the frontier. The British
government had shown great patience
and moderation. but II the latest devel-
opments in the Turkish demands were
admitted. 1t would place Turkey in a
not only TO the freedom OF the Suez canal.
but to the liberties of Egypt and the
Khedival dynasty.
The British government could not be
Indifferent to its own or to the Khedivs
interest. and their importance necessitat-
ed pressing a settlement on the lines
that the frontier of Egypt should remain
as 1t had existed undsputed and un-
disturbed for many years.

CHARGE CRUELTY
AGAINST INSANE
THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
FINDS SERIOUS ABUSES IN THE
MANAGEMENT OF ST. ELIZA

of alleged cruelty to patients were given
at the investigation by the congressional
committee of the charges against the adj
ministration of st. Elizabeth United
States Asylum for the Insane Mrs. Mar
garet Lochte, an inmate up to 1905, testi-
fled that although perfectly willing to
eat she had been fed through the nose
with tube and had been subjected to
the "wrnging OUT process.
DR.. Robert Reyburn, president of tho
Medco-Legal society, whicil brought the
charges, testified that according to a
former patients story his ear had been
battered out of shape with broomstick.
his nose enlarged by use of the feeding
tube and his throat injured by the
"wringing out" process. DIR. Reyburn
thought most of these evils were due to a
lack of adequate supervision.

at st. Elizabeths, testified that he had

The Methodist general conference de-
voted almost all of yesterday to commit
tee meetings, although at the short morn
ing session several memorials and res
olutions were introduced, which promise
to have an important bearing on the
future work of the body.
One Of the important meetings proposed
during the day was that of the lay dele
gates to the conference which was called
to meet at the First NJ. e. church at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. The meeting
was postponed, however, until a later date.
The lasmen have in mind taking some
steps looking to the choice of four new
bishops by the conference. 1t is well
known that at least two new bishops must
be elected by the present conference to
take the places of Bishop Granbery and
Bishop Fitzgerald. who are on the retired
list. The laymen are working for the
election of four new bishops and the
ground of their activity is the advanced
age of two or three of the present active
bishops and the necessity of relieving
them of some of their work and bringing
forward some younger men to take up
the el copal duties. III
