Allison Amendment
Accepted by Republicans

The Allison amendments to the rail-
road rate bill will be adopted by a
practically unanimous Republican vote.
a number OF Democrats will also SUD-
port them. 1t is probable that the
final vote on the passage Of the amend
ed bill may not take place until Friday
In the meantime, both factions of the
Republican party are congratulating
themselves upon having reached q
easis or compromise. The principal
point OF the Allison amendments is that
which confers express Jurisdiction upon
the courts to hear suits growing out of
the adjustment Of rates by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. This
jurisdiction is ont hampered by any
restrictions or limitations. The amend
ment leaves 1t to the courts to deter
mine how far they are to go, and in
trusts the public interests TO them.
this point, those who have been
contending for the broad cuort review
have won out The other portions Of
the compromise are designed principal
ly TO expedite the consideration of
rate cases in the courts, and to make
IL as difficult as possible for the rail-
roads TO oyerturn the rulings of tho
commission without very good cause.
II railroad should object to a rate
nXeo Dy the commission. It will have
its remedy in the courts, but IL VIII
not be able to secure an Injunction to
prevent that rate from going into effect
without an agreement in court. at
which the commission will be repre-
sented. and which will be heard by
three Judges This limitation upon the
right Of Injunction is considered most
important In that IL will prevent the
possibility OF judicial favoritism by any
one judge ythe issuance Of a midnight
order suspending the operation of the
commissions ruling. and thereby MAIN
tanning in force throushout the court

to be unjust

Senate Can Table
Rate Amendments

The Senate has adopted a rule or or
der under which, during the conSfdera-
ton of the rate bill in committee of the
whole under the fifteen minutes rule, a
motion to table viii have to be enter
tained by the chair. This question rose
soon after the discussion began. and the
chair declined at that time TO rule on il,
and the ruling was not forced. But yes

help extricate the body from a hopeless
tangie. moved to table all amendments

Thus while the status of the particular

changed. the rule had been fixed. under

Senate doesn't want to talk about them
even under the fifteen-minute rdle. II
is expected that some of the radical
amndments will be disposed OF in this

Conservatives Regard the Recession in
Prices as Favorable for
Speculation

NEW YORK. May 9.-After an irreg-
ular opening the stock market yielded
under pressure of what was considered
long stocks, prices falling from l to ?
points in nearly all the active issues
and the volume of business at the same
time fell off materially The reaction
was termed by many brokers a set back
TO the market. Conservative interests
throughout said that the market needed
a reaction, and that the recession in
prices left the speculative situation in
much stronger shape than It was be-
fore.
Government bonds unchanged: other
bonds steady.
The opening of the market was for
the most part a little easier. Canadian
Pacific was down %; ST. Paul. Brook

WON'T TOLERATE
SHAM COMPETITION
Author of Oil Investigation
Points Out Achievement.

Congressman Campbell Of Kansas. the
author OF the resolution under which
Commissioner of Corporations Garfield
made the investigation of the oil situa-
ton that resulted in his recent report
to Congress, finds in this report a par
ticular and personal source of gratifi-
cation. because. as he says, 1T justifies
the Introduction of the resolution call
ing for this investigation. It gives off,
cial authority to thai which the coun-
try has long believed to be true"
Discussing the measures that should
now be taken, Mr.. Campbell said:
No irrational action should follow
that would destroy the value of prop
erty. If men have conspired, they ought
to be prosecuted. and II possible i'm
prisoned, and made to suffer every
penalty Of the law. have never be-
lieved in measures that were not
remedial in their effect.
1T would not help tn Kansas oil
situation, for instance, If tho Standard
OIL Company were to be ousted and
barred from doing business in the State.
On the contrary it would be a great in.
jury to the oil industry there. But we
do insist that the Standard OIL Com
pany shall not exercise monopoIistic
power and destroy competition and fix
the price Of crude OIL It's officers and
agents ought to be forced to do business
in way in which honest men always
conduct their business, having due re-
gard for the rights of their competitors
and the public with which they deal
1T ought TO stop shamming compett-
tion with itself. The time has come
when tho American people can no longer
be fooled or bulldozed by the Standard
OIL or any other great concern"

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
ACTIVE TRADING
IN BANK STOCKS
Second National and National City
Find a Ready Market at
Fair Prices.

The interest on the Washington
Stock Exchange today turned largely
to bank stocks. and the dealings in two
OF them was the largest that has taken
place for a long time There has been
a steady decline in the prices asked for
both the National City and the Second
National ever since the increase Of
capital OF the latter and the f1rist out
bursC on the City. and the support
which was expected has been notice
ably lacking. Prices as stated have
generally sought a lower level. until
they had finally reached a point where
they became attractive TO investors
who have thought the time about ripe
to step in and secure them.
The sales Of the Second National ag-
gregated sixty-six shares, and the clos
ing figures were nearly four points
above the low level Of last week In
the case Of the City the sales totaled
fifty shares. from 133 TO 1891, with
an offer to take 100 shares at the first
named figure.
The demand for Washington Railway
stocks, while not aggressive. was sur
ficiently good 10 raise prices fraction
ally on the four sales made.
Mergenthaler advanced one-half point
in the bid. while Lanston held firm at
1iA. though for the first day in a long
time no transactions were recorded.
Greene Copper was taken at 291z. and
Mitchell Mining received good support
at 1le, with sales OF 300 shares.
It IS expected that he shareholders Of
the Bank Of Washington may get to-
Lether during this week and discuss the
question Of an increase Of the capital
stock There has been a quiet canvass
for more than month. and the advo-
Gates Of the plan think they have a
su1scient number Of shares now pledged
to carry IL out. There Is a strong
minority interest which IS opposed TO
the increase
