PATTERSON PROTESTS
COLORADO SENATOR REFUSES TO
BE DICTATED TO BY DEMO-
CRATIC CAUCUS.
HIS RESOLUTION CAUSES SENSATION
ASSERTS ACTION TAKEN A PLAIN
VIOLATION OF FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION.
HIS RESOLUTION CAUSES SENSATION
ASSERTS ACTION TAKEN A PLAIN

Washington, Feb 6.-Mr. Patterson
(Colo.) caused a sensation in the SEN
ate by introducing a resolution rela-
tive to the rights OF senators in voting
upon treaties.
Mr. Patterson's resolution recited
that the action Of the Democratic call-
Gus in debating to senators how they
should vote was plain violation OF
the spirit and intent of the Constitu-
tion Of the United States; that each
senator was entitled to one vote and
any attempt to coerce him was an in.
vasion of the rights of state; that
any senator who permits himself to be
SO coerced weakens and degrades his
state; that for any senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense of duty
dictates degrades his high Office and
assails the dignity and standing Of the
senate
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the senators.
Mr.. Lodge had prepared a resolution
similar to that of Senator Patterson,
declaring that treaty like the Domin-
lean should not be made the subject of
party action, but withheld it when he
heard that Mr.. Patterson had prepared
a resolution. This he heard from the
lips of the Colorado senator, who
claimed the privilege of presenting the
matter. Mr.. Lodge conceded the SUI
periority Of Mr.. Patterson's claim.
Mr.. Tillman objected to the present
consideration of the Patterson reso-
luton unless it was question Of per-
sonal privilege. Mr.. Patterson said it
was not and gave notice that he would
discuss the resolution later

OPPOSES RATE REGULATION.
LittlefieId (Me.) Speaks Against Pend
ing Measure.


Washington, Feb 6.-An hour to op-
pose the railroad rate bill was yielded
to Mr.. Littlefeld (Me.) in the house.
Mr.. Littlefield believed that the pic
lures of distress painted by advocates
of rate legislation were entirely too
made mistakes, but conditions were
not intolerable. On the other hand,
he said, the interstate commerce COM
mission had made many blunders. The
proposed legislation, he believed, went
too far and he should vote against it.
He had been willing to go as far as
the president had recommended in
1904 and 1905. Not a member of the
house, he maintained, could say what
is reasonable rate. There is not
single case in any court record or any
rule on which a reasonable rate could
be defined. This was one of the great
and tremendous difficulties the bill
presented and indicated the vast and
arbitrary power that was to be vested
in political tribunal. In the zeal
with which both political parties were
running a legislative race they had
gone far beyond the presidents de-
sires A remedy for nine-tenths of
rate evils, he said, now exists in all
courts, both under present law and
the common law.
Mr.. Stevens (Minn.) spoke in favor
of the bill and Grosvenor (O.) fol-
lowed in opposition to the measure.

German Differences.
Algeciras, Spain, Feb. 6. - The
French delegation at the Moroccan
conference was reinforced during the
morning by the arrival of Count ST..
Rene Taillandier, who was the French
minister at Fez during the Franco-Ger-
man crisis last summer. Count Tail
lander came over on the French
cruiser La Londe of Tangier and
Joined M. Revolt, head of the French
mission. Later the count had talks
with Ambassador White and other del
egates. His presence is considered to
relate to the private discussions going
on between the delegates on the main
Franco-German issue
Although the conference is not meet.
ing formally private conferences are
constantly proceeding with the view
of adjusting the conflicting views The
ambassadors say that the outlook con-
tinues hopeful but they admit that the
efforts of the disinterested powers are
not yet resulting in securing an exact
basis for accord. The German dele
gates declare that the reports that
they are not in favor of a moderate
policy are unwarranted and that it is
they who are most desirOus Of cOncil
iatior. The French, however, insist
that the Germans maintain an attitude
lacking in preciseness.

MOODY AT. PACKERS, TRIAL.
Attorney General Assisting Counsel
for Government.

for Government.
Chicago, Feb. 6.-Attorney General
William H. Moody was an interested
observer at the trial of the immunity
pleas advanced by the packers. He
evidenced great interest in the case,
frequently whispering suggestions to
District Attorney Morrison, who is con-
Quoting the case for the government.
G. NJ. MacFarlane, Office manager of
the Fairbanks Canning company, was
on the stand. His evidence related en-
tirely to the number and character of
the books which he had shown to the
agents of the government who made
the investigation under the direction
of Commissioner Garfield.
The witness identified number of
papers which ne declared We're the
acquisitions issued by Commissioner
Garfield and his agents for the produc.
ton OF certain books. The attorneys
several times argued over the admis-
sibility and genuineness of the docu-
ments and in consequence the exam
ination of the witness was slow and
tedious.
During a recess of court Attorney
General Moody said in reply to ques-
tions:
II notice that the attorneys for the
packers have produced evidence to the
effect that Commissioner Garfield said
that he would not give to the depart
ment of justice the information he
secured from the, packers. If he ever
said that he certainly kept his word
for the department of justice never
received any information from him.
Neither did we receive information
from the president, nor from any of
the subordinate officers of the depart
fment of corporations.
