Washington, D. c., May 15.-The re-
cent efforts of the president and Dem
ocratic senatorial leaders to reach an
agreement on the rate bill received
further notice in the senate today from
Railey and rillman rhe matter wa
referred 10 by the Texas Senator io
the course Of a personal explanation
called ont by an article in the Chicn-
go Tribune charging Bailey with fan
ure to find common ground and by
Tllman in Il speech in support Of
Bailey ana in pre- enting a furtaet
.atcment from Former Senator Chand
Ter. In his address Bailey denounced
the article in question as lie and
the authors ana inspirers Of it as
liars" There also was sharp coloquy
between Daniel and Tillman over tn,
amendment 70 the anti-pass provision.
nsderatlol of the rate bill in t1c
committee Of the whole was concluded
and when ne measure is reported &c
the senate there will be an oppor
tanity to review aud alter all tae
amendments heretofore made.
Practically the entire day was de
voted to a consideration of The anti
pass amendment, which was adopted
after making so many exceptions as
to arouse laughter in the senate every
time the provision was read
rhe work Of the senate as such was
confined to a partial consideration oi
the pipe line provision which was So
amended as to strike out Morgan
provi o, extending its operation 20

States had jurisdlction
In the course of Bailey's speech
he said his attention had been called
to an ar ice printed in the New Gorh
Tribune to-day He said it was OF the
same character as that printed by the
Chicago Tribune and that evidently
they hai been timed to bring then
both TO Washington a. the same tune
Pointing to the pre-. gallery he said:

How Mails Are Weighed.

Mr.. lloyd Of Missouri IN the House OF Representation
I obtained from the Post Once Department q
statement OF the weighing OF the malls between
Quincy, H.. and st. Joseph, Mo-, over the Burlington
route. which runs through the district In which !
am specially concerned. | md from that s'aN'
m~cnt-they require mail TO be weighed for s'AH
consecutive days-that there was sent out an AZ
gregate amount OF mail from Quincy. starting
toward ST. Joseph, OF sll 900 pounds. Now, there
was put on at West Quincy, which is the nFsi s's'
ton after leaving Quincy. 1870 pounds In the sNy
days. In order 20 obtain the compensation. 'aY
multiply that sll 900 pounds by the distance %,
tween Quincy and West Quincy. which Is two ana
a half miles. Then they add the 1880 POUNDS
which was put on at West Quincy, That serves ..
a basis for computation between West Qu'ncy hnu
the next station. which is Palmyra. Then m-'Upy
that sum by the number OF miles which interviews
between West Quincy and Palmyra. That d''e,.
mines the weight for that distance. Al PA'NF's
there was q very large amount of mall rN' on h1
some mall taken OF. They md the difference o.,
tween the two and add that TO the amount o' man
that was carried between West Quincy and Fa'H'yiA

Bailey, transportation Man.

The late JAMES A. BAILEY, in addition
to his complete mastery Of the circus
business, was ~probablythe best transport
tation man in the country. Besides
knowing what the public liked at the
circus, and how to set it before them,
he possessed a marvellous knowledge
of the railroads over which the show
must be moved, the distance from
town to town and the difficulties that
must be met and overcome in each COM
munity.
Seated In his office, Mr.. BAILEY could
tell over what roads his trains could be
moved, the grades that they must take,
the facilities to be obtained for loading
and unloading, and the position and
distance Of the show grounds with rela-
ton to the railroad switches. He could
give the route OF the circus for an entire
season in this manner, with practically
no reference books and with unvarying
accuracy. Certain railway lines could
not accommodate the circus trains be-
cause of weak bridges, narrow cuts, or
on account of other physical reasons.
and these Mr.. BAILEY had indexed alb
solutely in his mind.
In his complete grasp Of this depart
ment of his business Mr.. BAILEY was
not less wonderful than in the other
branches. A many sided man, he was
most remarkable for the ~thoroughness
and complete knowledge he displayed
in each of them. BARNUM's name will
never stand second to another's in the
annals Of the sawdust ring, but it is a
question whether he was 80 complete a
master Of all the mysteries Of the circus
as was Mr.. BAILEY.

The Arrest Of the Halls.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-str: Are there no
considerations of decency or common sense to save
the New York Police Department from brutality
Surely every American must blush with shame at
the outrage reported In THE SUN this morning.
On making inquiry OF onlookcrs I learn that Mrs.
Hall did nothing but try 10 drag her husband away
when an on1cious special policeman treated him
roughly. Speaking little English. they paid for
useless tickets for the circus. and not understand
ing the doorkeeper, the man went to the box ofnce
for redress. Here the special policeman followed
him, accused him of trying TO Skin" the circus, and
finally he was thrown out OF the building. The
woman merely tried to get TO her husbands side,
and another of1cious special" dragged both 10
the Tenderloin station. Here the sergeant could
plainly see the womans delicate condition. but
they must both be bundled into separate cells like
criminals. and the cruel treatment OF course had
the inevitable result. Such a shock was enough TO
kill both mother and child. Imagine the ordeal for
the young woman away from home and friends, with
the minlstration OF an ambulance surgeon at the
eleventh hour. Yet under our present system II
a prisoner has not the price Of bail the cell Is the
only alternative. however trivial the charge.

Brigadier-G General of Volunteers and was
Don afterward made a Major-General.
A review of the work of his brigade at
Santiago will show that while it was not
his good fortune to be assigned to a
position where he could lead the charge
on San Juan, the men under his COM
mand did much to make that charge
possible, In the spring Of 1893 he was
sent to the Philippines, where he was
placed in command Of the southern
district, including Jolo and Mindanao.
Some who know the man and his meth
DDS regard it rs little short Of a national
misfortune that he could not have been
left in permanent control Of that region,
and are firm in their belief that if such
an arrangement had been possible u
relations with the Moros would have
continued as they were while he was
there. Not a hostile shot was fred while
he was in command, and his personal
influence with and over the dattos was
remarkable.
General BATES has always been a field
soldier and not an office soldier, and it
may be doubted II any other officer
throughout his career has won from his
fellow officers and from the men under
his command a more genuine respect
and loyalty or a more sincere personal
esteem and affection. Always Just and
thoughtful, always dignifed and always
genial, a mar Of unfinching courage
and an integrity which could no more
be swerved than the sun in its course,
JOHN CoALTER BATES is loved and hon
ored by those who know him. Because
his life has not been spent in social and
political centres he is a comparative
stranger to the people Of the country.
The army knows him, and no man holds
a higher place in the regard of his fellow
soldiers.
We wish him many years Of quiet and
happy life, and we could also wish that
no man less worthy might ever wear
the three stars of the rank with which
he retires. If that could be, the sale Of
stars in trlplets would be limited.

AIatteuoci.

DR.. MATTEUcoI, professor Of geology
at the University of Naples and director
Of the Royal Vesuvian Observatory. is a
conspicuous example Of a devotee Of
science who has repeatedly risked his
life In his desire to advance knowl-
edge. All through the recent terrible
ebullitions Of the volcano he has spent
the days and nights in the observatory
far up TIE western slope Of the mountain,
exposed. to the gravest dangers.
MATIECooI has long been one Of the
Leading writer's and authorities ON vol
oanology, though he 10 only forty-six
years old and has scarcely reached the
prime Of lis scientific activity. Every
thing he writes on Vesuvius is read with
interest, and the common people Of Italy
have heard Of DR.. MATTEUCc1 as the man
who can always be found in the observa-
tory or thereabouts when there is trouble
brewing at the top ofthe mountain. He
has not been absent from his post OF
duty when there were phenomena out
Of the common on the stage.
This courageous man of science could
not have survived the recent tremendous
outbursts Of the volcano II he had
attempted to repeat his achievement
during the eruptions Of 1900, when the
boiling lake Of lava rose in the crater
to within about 200 feet Of its rim. He
lived at that time for three days on the
edge Of the crater. 1t raj not very
pleasant to linger in the neighborhood
Of these terrific occurrences, but the
| professor held his ground and did not
depart until he had completed the obser-
vations he had in view. The wonder is
that he was not killed. On the last day
| Of his s~ojourn upon the top Of the noun
tain q period Of intense violence suo-
ceeded a few hours Of comparative calm.
The explosions In the crater were Of
great frequency and the ~geologist had
the hardihood to g everything that
was going on. One extraordinary ex-
plosion caused a rain Of fragments all
around him. Myriads Of small bits of
rock and redhot fragments Of scorie
fell all around. Nobody knows how he
had the good luck to escape, for his
entire outfit Of baggage was destroyed
excepting his camera. This instrument
and its owner were all that escaped
without q scratch
Few other men have fingered in the
neighborhood of such high degrees of
heat as the lava Of Vesuvius emitted on
those days. 1t seemed as though MAT
TEUcc1 was sure to be overwhelmed
and destroyed by explosions in the
superheated mass of molten rock. No.
body knows how hot lava is at the mo-
ment of emission, but facts have been
asoertained that give some conception
of it. 1t was found in 1855 that a stream
