Hold Conference of Governors.
Washington, March 19.-The pro-
posal of Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa that a conference of the COVER
nors, railroad commissioners and at.
torney generals of all the states be
called to consider uniformity in the
exercise of power In the regulation of
railroads will be carefully considered
by President Roosevelt, if formally
submitted to him. Until careful con-
slderation has been given, however,
the president is not likely to express
his opinion of the plan.
The administration just now is en-
gagged up to its neck perfecting the
plan for further federal control and
there are many things to be taken into
account in connection with the pos
sible benefits that would accrue from
a conference Of state authorities. In
the case of conference over the insur-
ance regulation the matter was some
what different, because insurance is
lot interstate commerce.

will not exceed 1925, 900.
While the rivers are receding at a
rapid rate it will be several days be-
fore they reach their normal stage.
Thirty large blast furnaces in this
city are out of commission on account
of the flood. 1t is said here that the
suspension will cause a scarcity in
iron.
The power from the plants of the
Allegheny Light company was turned

of the railway company that it will be
