The Senate disposed Of several amend
ments~ proposed by Mr.. La Toilette of Wis
consin by voting them down. The Demo-
Gratis for the most part voted with the Wis
consin Senator. but the Republicans almost
TO a man voted against his proposals,
When the Senate adjourned the feeling
was general that substantial progress had
bean made with the bill and many Of the
most trou blesome questions were disposed
of. The Senate will probably sit late to-
morrow night in an effort to complete the
bill. but few Senator'S believe the work will
be over until next week.
The drastic provisions of the antl-pass
amendment, adopted yesterday, will he
modified in accordance with a compromise
that will probably be perfected tomorrow.
The Senate was deluged with kilograms
Yesterday and to-day, protesting against
the sweeping anti pass law that was pro-
posed. Ii prohibited the issuance of passes
to any one except ministers of the Gospel.
Railway employees were debarred from the
use of the pass. AS a result of a conference
held to-day it was decided to frame an
amendment limiting the inhibition as to
the use of passes to officials and employees
Of the railroads.
When the rate bill was laid before the
Senate Mr.. Allison of Iowa arose and sub
mitted the Allison amendments, Intended
to afford the basis of the ompromise be-
tween Republicans. The first amendment
strikes out the words fairly remnneratlve'
as qualifying a rate to be made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission under
the authority Of the Hepburn bill. 1t was
adopted without a roll call or a dissenting
vote.
The second amendment limits the time
during which an order OF the commission
shall remain in force to two years.
.Ir. La Toilette Of Wisconsin objected to
any limit Of time upon the orders Of the
lnteTEt1te NbIlliitiNt "''N
moved to strike ont the proposed limita-
ton of three years.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas offered his amend
ment. to prevent the courts from setting
aside orders of the commission by tempo
rary injunctions. The President, Mr.. Bailey
declared, had indorsed the amendment in
his messag e Of December, 1906. He said that
when he offered his amendment he had
reason to expect the Presidents support.

said Mr.. Bailey, "and he has committed his
friends, Whether he was weary OF he con
fict and surrendered, or whether, in the
interest of party harmony he yielded, one
thing is certain: he will have to explain to
the people why, after arousing the hopes
OF the people, he has fulfilled them in such
slight measure
Mr.. Bailev's amendment was reiec ted by
a vote Of . to % Messrs, Bnrkett' Hal
the Democrats in favor OF the amen dnlent,
and Messrs. Bacon, Clark Monl, Culher-
son, Daniel, Morgan, Newlands, Pettus
and Taliaferro, Democrats, voted with the
Republicans against it,.
Mr.. Culberson of Texas proposed a
general amendment, providing, among
other things, against the SUSPENSION OF
orders pending review without notice
and hearing. 1t was rejected on a rollcall
by 20 yeas to 50 nays.
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia proposed an
amendment providing that no order Of
the commission should be set aside ny
interlocutory order or decree except after
potics and hearing before two Judges, one

Commission authorizing the commission to
Establish through rates and joint rates
partly by railroad and partly by water"
The amendment was rejected and a
substitute by Mr.. Lodge was accepted
which extends to the commission authority

MIR. Rayner dem, Md offered an
amendment limiting the court review to
constitutional questions. He declared there
had been much said about a court review,
The broad review really meant a statutory
review, and the limited review meant only
a constitutional review. The President
had been trapped in a broad court review
plan,
