Washington, March 16.-The rail-
road rate bill reached the controver-
sial stage in the senate yesterday.
The question came up in the regular
order of business shortly before 2
o'clock and held the floor until the
doors were closed for brief executive
session, few minutes after 5 o'clock.
Mr. Rayner was the chief speaker
and the debate that took place was
provoked by some of his utterances.
Among the senators who were aroused
by him were Messrs. Foraker, Lodge
and Dolliver
The argument of Mr.. Rayner was d.
rected in favor of the general PROPOSE
ton that congress has the right to fix
rates, but that the bill should be so
amended as to dispense with the sus-
pension provision. He also advo-
Gated other amendments.
The second day of general debate
on the legislative bill developed dis
cussion of the retirement of aged
clerks, interspersed with a speech on
statehood by Mr.. Babcock of Wiscon-
sin, one on the restriction of immigra-
ton by Mr.. Gardner Of Massachusetts,.

st. Petersburg March Pin high
circles late last night the rumor was
current that Count White had definite.

The Associated Press is unable to
confirm the rumor as Count White
had retired and the chancellery was
closed when the correspondent called
shortly after midnight. From an alb
solutely authentic source, however, it
can be stated that Count White, at the
session of the council of the empire
yesterday morning, made an enigmat-

ed by Privy Councillor Kokovosoff,
former minister of finance.
1t is stated that the condition of
Count Whites health is quite unsatis-
factory. He is said to have expert
enced an attack of heart trouble a few
days ago. His physician advised him
some time ago to give up work. 1t is
known that Count White. believing
that he had weathered the political
storm, formed determination to re-
linquish the premiership upon the
meeting of the national assembly.
Recently, however, the strength of the
reactionaries increased and the pre-
mier was obliged to keep up the fight
against heavy odds. 1t may be that
his endurance was thus exhausted and
that, feeling that his health was de-
clining, he has reached the decision
to retire Immediately.
