Four Years In Advance of Opening.
BY CHARLES W. ARTHUR.

Washington. Feb. II. = Special. l.
Much amusement has been caused by
tie paragraph in the army appropria-
ton bill as reported to the senate by
Its military affairs committee which
seeks TO amend the rate law enacted
last session by providing that moth
Ing in that act shall be held to pro.
hibit the allowance of reduced rates to
the government for the transportation
Of soldiers and impedimenta or to pro-
hihit the carrying OF soldiers, officers
and members Of their families free or
at reduced rates. Not long ago the
government invited bids for the trans
portation OF certain troops from Oma-
ha. Only two railroads, the Chicago
and Great Western and the Union Pa
ciac, responded. and their bids were
exactly the regular rates without re.
duction or change of any kind. Be.
fore the rate bill went into effect rail
roads competed for such business and
frequently quoted very low rates. The
military affairs committee desires to
get back to the old order of things
through the amendment mentioned.
and now railroad men are saying that
the government evidently believes
that 1t is poor law which puts it on
the same footing as the general public
Burton Mentioned For ssnatorship.
Now that Representative Burton Of
Ohio, chairman OF the committee on
rivers and harbors. has passed his
eighth successive rivers and harbors
bill through the house without amend
ment and has declined to recede from
his determination not to again accept
the craftsmanship OF the committee
which he has headed for twelve years
there is considerable talk of the proba-
bility Of his becoming a candidate for
the senate against Senator Dick. Mr..
Burton has already been reelected to
the Sixtieth congress, and Senator
Dicks term does not expire until 1911,
but the formers friends believe that
It Is not too early to commence the
fight now. While the rivers and har-
bors bill was up in the house leaders
on both sides paid eloquent tributes to
Mr.. Burton's ability, worth and good
Judgment. Minority Leader Williams
was particularly cordial in his praise
Of the 0hloan, which was unusual, In
view Of the fact that Mr.. Williams Is
an incorporating Democrat and Mr..
Burton an equally uncompromising
