Tht last WEEK OF CONGRESS
IL viii be Busy One and Some Live
ly Debates are Expected.

Washington. Feb. cj.--Asidc from
appropriation bills and conference re
PORTS. the ship subsidy bill Is the onl,
measure Of general importance that Il
likely TO receive the attention of the
house. and the Aldr;ch financial bill
the only one that probably will re
cciNc the attention of the senate dur
Ing this, the closing week of the las,
session Of the Fifty-Dinth congress. II
is Senator Aldrichs purpose 10 press
his bill for consideration whenever
opportunity offers and he Is still hope
ful of success notwithstanding tho op
lostion. the congestcd condition ol
business and the limited time left.
The house friends of ship subsid,
also profess themselves as hopeful
but they admit that every day that
goes by without action lessons thcit
chances. Some of them express con
dcncc in getting some features
Of the bin Incorporated In the post
office appropriation bill AS a rider, but
If they fail In that program they will
make last effort for Independent &C
tion by the house after the passage ol
the general deficiency appropriation
bill They will ask to have two or
three days set aside for the consider
alton of the subsidy bill when confer
ence reports are not before the house
and the inclination OF the leaders is to
grant this concession.
No other business will be permitted
TO interfere with appropriation bills
and conference reports IN either house
hut there will be times when other
business may be interjected and much
miscellaneous legislation may be cx.
pectpas 81
The only two appropriation bills
that have been completely disposed of
by neengrasso are the legislative and
diplomatic bills. All the others that
have been passed by both houses have
slill 10 be acted upon in conference
and as the senate has not allowed any
of Them 10 get through without ma.
terial additions, much spirited debate
may be expected upon these reports.

Washington, Feb, -. 2a.--Scnatoi
Elkins, Of West Virginia. has Just
Sled In tho senate his MINORITY report
ON tho railroad ratehhw.l The repor,
was nominally submitted June :S
1906. but immediately Withdrawn FOR
further elaboration. II presents q
comprehensive history of the eco
nomic development Of American rail
roads, together with tables which tend
70 show n constantly decreasing
freight and passenger rate. and The
relation between such rates and the
price Of commodities and cost of la
Dor. As 10 the decrease in rates the
report says:
! The average passenger rate ad
7anced slightly from 1870 TO 1880
During the next "a years there was a
decline amounting TO 1886 per cent
OF the average for 1880, the net dc
Cdne from 1870 to 1901 being lG.li
per cent. The decline In the average
tate per milo, per ton OF freight, was
hs.71 per cent. during the years fronl
1870 TO 1904. the rate for the earlier
wear being about tive and onc.hall
times that of the latter and the ne,
saving 10 the shippers averaging .09
mills per toD.milq."
The report says that the cost OF
transportation in 1904 was nearly two
billion dollars less than IL would have

vailed.

ceeded that Of 1900 by more than 81
per cent. while the freight increase
was 1926 per cent.
ic' In comparison with the Increase In
wages of railroad employees from an
average wage of s561.25 in 1900 &c
S630.S0 in 1904, the report says that
the service in 1904 was so much more
efficiently organized that the labor
contributed by the average cmployc
23 per cent. more In tho
movement of passengers and n per
cent. more In tho movement OF freight
than in 1880.
Compared with railroad rates
abroad, the report says that the
dgures In the foregoing are induubt
Sadly significant They show that
American railways carry freight fol
rates that average but j1.l4 per cent
of the average charged in France
62.30 per cent. of that in Germany
60.S2 per cent of that in Austria
about so per cent. of that In italy. aud
about 80 per cent. of that in European
Russia"
AS to the increase in equipment
the report says that during the last II
years the increase in the numbe~ OF
cars and locomotives has been rela
lively much greater than the mileage
increase.
