conferees on Rate Bill Turn Down
Further Arguments.
Washington, June 19.-That the con.
ference committee Of the two houses
of congress on the railroad rate bill
has all that it wants to do was an.
nounced in the senate by Senator Till
man. The statement was elected by
a remark by Senator Foraker in speak
ing of number of telegraphic pro
tests he had received against the re-
tention of the senate amendment max
ing common carriers of pipe lines. He
asked that the telegrams be referred
to the conferees, remarking that he
had made an effort to personally pre-,
sent them to the conferees but that he
had been denied admission to their
august presence
Mr.. Tillman construed this as "a
sarcastic allusion" and made the ex.
planation that the conferees, finding
their present troubles sufficient, had
been compelled to shut the doors
against arguments from those who are
not members of the committee.
"We listened for four days in the
senate" he said, "and don't feel dis
posed to add to our misery We will
accept the kilograms, but don't want
the arguments

ENORMOUS NUMBER WOUNDED
IN ANTEJEWISH RIOTS AT
BlALYsToK, RUSSIA.
VICTIMS OF MOB BRUTALLY TREATED
BODIES OF MANY OF THE DEAD
REDUCED TO MERE MASSES
OF PULPED FLESH,

Bialystok, Russia, June 19.-Quiet
reigns throughout this devastated
town. Firing was heard at midnight
on the outskirts of Bialystok, near
the cemetery, but no further disor-
ders have occurred. The total figures
Of the casualties are not available,
but seventy bodies were buried during
the day. This is claimed to be less
than half the total of the killed. Jew
ish estimates say that not less than
200 were killed. The number of
wounded is enormous. Surgeons have
arrived here from Warsaw to assist
the overworked staffs of the hospitals
in caring for the injured.
A few instances of the eXcesses
were the bestiality and brutality with
which the victims of the massacre
we're treated. Some of the corpses
were mere masses of pulped flesh, the
wounded in some cases having scarce
ly a sound bone in their bodies .-
The members of the commission of
the lower house of parliament who
are here to inquire into the massacre
are greeted as saviors by the popula-
ton, who flock out of their houses
with pathetic joy and relief AS the
commissioners pass through the
streets the people call down blessings
on their heads and give them accounts
of their sufferings.

Inquiries.
London, June 19.-Chicago meat
again formed the subject of several
questions in the house of commons
during the day. Nj. Hicks-Beach,
Conservative, son of the former chan
cellor of the exchequer, asked War
Secretary Haldane what quantity of
Chicago canned meat was supplied to
the troops in South Africa during the
late war and what proportion of en-.
teric deaths ought more properly to
have been described as due to pto-
maine poisoning. The secretary re.
piled that more than half the canned
meat supplied to the British troops in
South Africa during the late war
came from the United States. He
could not say how much Of this came
from Chicago. The war Office knew
nothing of any cases of enteric fever
which could be classed as ptomaine
poisoning.
Replying to question based on the
discovery in the diningroom of the
house of commons of box marked
"Armour's est. Louis, Chicago and
Kansas City, Chickens" Mr. Jacoby..
chairman of the kitchen committee,
assured the house that no food Of any
kind used in the house of commons
comes from Chicago. Mr.. Jacoby add
ed that he was making an investiga
tion as to how the box came on the
premises.

INVESTIGATE WALSH BANK.
Senator Tillman Again Calls Up Reso.
luton Of Inquiry.

Senator Tlltman again Calls Up ReSo-
luton Of Inquiry.
Washington, June 19-Senator Till.
man again called up his resolution
providing for an Investigation Of the
question of national bank contribu-
tions to political campaigns and also
to the recent failure of the Chicago
National bank.
Speaking of the resolution Mr.. Till
man said that Senator Aldrich had
waived aside the resolution on the
ground that the senate had recently
passed a bill prohibiting the banks
from making campaign contributions,
but Mr. Tillman contended that such
action On the part of the senate was
not sufficient. Believing that the
banks were the principal source of
revenue of the Republican political
, committees he did not believe that
the house would pass the bill prior to
the election OF next fall. Hence re
still felt the necessity for the inve5ti,
cation provided for by his. resolution.
| He insisted that the resolution should
be retroactive, but confessed that he
had little hope in that direction. "The
bankers will get an immunity bath for
past offenses," he predicted.
Speaking of the Chicago bank fail
ure Mr.. Tilfman presented extracts
from testimony of Banker Fenton Of
Chicago, taken by the house commit
tee on banking, to the effect that the
disaster was due to loans made by
the bank to concerns in which the
president Of the bank John r. Walsh}
was interested. He claimed that this
testimony showed that the comptral-
Ter of the currency had known for
months before the failure that the
bank had in effect loaned s15,O00,0eA
to it's president
Senator Hopkins replied that Mr..
Tillman had been mlsled by irrespon-
sible Chicago men and declared that
the South Carolina senator's "tirade"
had proved another illustration of the
fact that "a little learning is dan,
gerous thing"

READY TO JOIN REBELLIOR
RUSSIAN CONSTITUTIONAL DEM.
ocRATs DISCUSS CHANGE IN
PARTY TACTICS.

st. Petersburg, June 19.--The Con.
stitutional Democrats seem almost
ready TO throw in their lot with the
.leYolutionlsts. The popular agitation
is so great that at a caucus lasting
three mornings the question of chang.
ing the party's tactics and abandon
ing any further attempt to postpone
an open rupture with the government
was seriously debated. NM Rodit.
chef and Naboukofr, leaders of the
Constitutional Democrats in the lower
house, led the radical wing. urging
the absolute necessity of keeping pace
with the revolutionary movement and
insisting that unless they moved for
ward to battle Immediately they would
be overwhelmed and left stranded.
Professor Milukoff, NJ Virayer and
others counseled caution, saying it
was not yet time to bend to the storm.
but the radicals were in the majority.
The Novoe Vremya says the Con-
stitutional Democrats have actually
resolved to break with the govern
ment within few days, but M. Sturve,
editor of the Osvobojdenie, informed
the Associated Press that no decision
had been taken. He admitted, how
ever, that the leaders plans were
secret.
The bakeries continue closed, the
strikers threatening to wreck the
shops where attempts we're made to
bake bread. Little hardship, however,
has thus far resulted. The lower
classes were warned and supplied
themselves with Hack bread in ad-
vance. The strike of the bakers is to
be followed in few days by Il
butchers strike.
Strikes Spreading in interior.
The news from the interior shows
that the wave of strikes is spreading,
but it is too early to tell whethe:, this
movement, which seems more spon.
'taneous than organized, will preciri-
tate a crisis New strikes are report
ed at Iekaterinosiav, at Saratotf and
at The collieries ot Baknlu.h.
The usual number of robberies are
reported, emphasizing the growing
lawlessness and anarchy in the coun-
try. There have been two mmrllerOus
train robberies in the Caucasus and
three stages were held ny III Poland.
Il ease OF arms and 5000 cartridges
have been ccnf1scated at Rig. on an
incoming steamer. -
The. government seems to fear a
repetition of the November mutiny at
Cronstadt fortress, where the sailors
and marines and the soldiers and
workmen are reported to be extremely
turbulent. Two infantry regiments
have been hastily dispatched to Cron-
stadt from Krasnoye-Selo and two
batteries of artillery of the guard and
two machine gun batteries have been
sent there from Oranienbaum. The
streets Of Cronstadt are filled with
troops and the well-to-do inhabitants
are hurriediy leaving the island op
which the town is situated.
