The real reason that no agreement has
yet been reached for a vote on the rail
road rate bill in the Senate is that
neither side yet feels confident OF having
enough votes TO win.
There are fifty-five active Republicans

closely contested proposition. therefore,
requires forty-five votes TO succeed.

charge of the rate bill from the House.

by the President. nor the conservative
Senators headed by Aldrich. Knox, and
Spooner. are vet satisfied that either
side has those forty-five votes corralled
The two main issues are the scope OF
the possible proceedings in court. after
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided that a certain railroad rate
Is unjust; and whether. pending litiga-
