Conservatives Preparing Court Review
Amendment for Submission.
SENATOR KNOX HAS MATTER IN CHARGE
Time of the House VIII He Occupied
Most ~ Not All of the Week on
Discussion of Postal ApprO-
priation Bill.

WASHINGTON. April s.-The United
States senate viii continue this week to
discuss the railroad rate bill, and the indi-
cations fail to support Senator Tillman 6
prediction that the week will witness the
termination of the general debate. rhe
conservative senators who are opposing the
house bill are still standing out for a sweep
ing provision for court review. and some of
them were at least quite as determined as
they ever were in their opposition to the
bill I'm spite of the Long amendment. The
presentation OF the Long provision has had
no effect upon the more pronounced of that
element In the direction of intensifying
their opposition. Mr.. Tillman will continue
to prefer his request for the naming of a
day. but for the present will meet with
the same denial that has attended his pre-
Vious efforts in that direction.
The discussion will be resumed today by
Senators McLaurin of Mississippi and
Morgan of Alabama. Mr. Bailey has given
notice of a speech for Tuesday in reply to
the criticisms that have been made by Mr..
Spooner and Mr.. Knox of his amendment
depriving the United States circuit courts
of the power to issue temporary writs of
injunction in rate cases Much interest is
felt in the senator's reply and there is lit
tie doubt that 1t will bring out a number
OF speeches in rejoinder He will occupy
most Of the time Tuesday. and It is under
stood that Mr.. SpOoner and Mr.. Knox will
make formal replies later In the week. Mr..
Foster Of Louisiana, who Is a member of
the committee on interstate commerce. will
also speak on the bill during the week.
1t is expected that the conservative will
present their court review provision soon
after the conclusion OF Senator Bailey
speech. The preparation of the provision
has been entrusted to Senator Knox and it
is understood TO be along the general lines
Of the hfth section OF the Knox rate bill.
Senator Clapp will make an effort during
the week to secure action on the confer
ence report on the bill providing for the set
tlsment OF the affairs Of the five civilized
tribes of Indians. He will also try to get
the Indian appropriation bill passed
POAtOniee BilI in House.
Another week Is to be devoted to the
postoffice appropriation bill ia the house of
representatives. The general debate on the
measure has taken a wide range and the
demands for recognition will make It Inn
possible to reach the details OF the bill be-
fore Wednesday. To complete 1t will con-
sumo the remainder of the week
General legislation will be suspended on
Monday that the house may sit as the city
council for the District of Columbia.
There Is to be general reply to demo-
cratic tariff speeches by Colonel Hepburn of
