Mr. Wynne called at once at the White

tween the President and the Navy De-

Evans was called in and it, was agreed
to let the case rest entirely in his hands.
Accordingly a board of inquiry looked

Admiral Evans concluded that tho
charges were of such serious nature,
and seemed to be SO we'll borne out by
the facts, as developed by the investi-l

In summing up the amount OF business
the telegraph companies have been doing
in Washington In the past thirty-six
hours, no account has been taken OF the

have been sent over the two lines, owing
to the necessity OF replying to many of

BILL BACK TO COMMITTEE
(From our Regular correspondent.)

(F'rom Our Regular Corresnondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE
statement may be made almost with posi-
tiveness that the free pass section OF
the rate bill, atnended In conference 30 as
to prohibit the issuance Of passes TO any
body outside of railway employees, will be
so changed In conference as to provide
that free transportation may be Issued
the families OF such employees. officers
and agents. The sentiment OF the senate
is overwhelmingly in favor Of this
change, and II is believed the House Is
OF the same way OF thinking. There
seems no great disposition to fight to In
clude other classes In the list Of those
who may receive free transportation,
such as ministers of the Gospel, secreta-
ries OF Railway Young Nuns Christian
Associations, etc, and II Ia not unlikely
that these classes will be eliminated. But
the families OF railway employees Will be
included.
Exceeded Authority.
An official OF the southern Railway said
to-day that while It may seem strange
that the railroad should want to lcngthen
the class which could receive free rides,
set 1t was very much desired BY the
company that the exceptions would In
Clude home seekers, and the representa-
tives OF prospective settlers, sent to In
was proposed to locate. The Southern is
accustomed to issuing transportation to
the agents of prospective settlers from
the North who want to locate In the
South, and In doing this have interested
many good men and secured thousands OF
( solid citizens for the Southern States
+ or course, the object of the railroad was
selfish. as 1t simply desired to develop
the country through which It runs and
~ Ha ~nr
section. But under the provision Of the
section OF the bill covering passes this
practice OF granting free transportation
to home seekers Will be discontinued.
There is no likelihood OF the section be-
ing amended SO as to include this class
In the list OF exceptions.
It IS asserted that the conferees far
exceeded their power in making 30 many
changes in the BILL some OF which change
the intent OF the measure, whether refer
cncc be had TO the House bill or the
bill as It passed the Senate.
Chairman Oyerstreet, OF the House COM
mittee Of postofilces and post roads, said
tonight that IL the free-pass provisic:.
shduld be left in the rate bill. he would
ask for an additional appropriation for
the purpose of defrayng the cost OF
transporting railway mall clerks, as 1t
Is perfectly clear the railroads could not
transport them free without violating the
law.
But 1t is we'll assured that the provis-
ioh OF the bill will be eliminated In SO
far as 1t applies to the families OF
pass section will be cut out entirely. IN
fact. this is almost certain.
Many kilograms.
