NEW RUMORIsr IN SENATE.
Fulton OF Oregon Is the Man and EIIdns
OF West yiPginia the Victim.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Fulton
Of Oregon to-day entered the List Of
Congressional humorists. Mr.. Fulton
has been interested in the fate Of q
bill introduced by, him early In the
last session which was res5rEed to the
Interstate Commerce Committee for
report. The failure of the committee
to act on the bill impelled Mr.. Fulton along
about the end Of the last session TO move
to discharge the committee from further
consideration of the measure and to have
1t restored 10 the Senate.
Senator Elklns, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce. assured
Mr.. Fulton that IL he would not press
the motion some action would be taken
by, the committee at the present session
before the holiday adjournment.
A few days ago when Senator Aldrich
asked for an agreement. for holiday adj,
journment to-day. coupled with the con-
ditiop' that nothing but routine business
would be transacted, MIR. Fulton rose
and observed with fine sarcasm that he
hoped the order would not operate to
prevent Senator Elkins from reporting
the bill. :.
Mr.. Elkins, who was present. smiled
but said nothing. To-day when Senator
Lodge rose to move the adjournment
Mr.. Fulton bade him pause. He said he
hoped Mr., Lodge would not cut OF the
West Virginia Senator while he was In
the act OF fastening to the Senate with
the report. .~
Il can now picture the Senator from
West Virginia working heart and soul
to get up that report before the holiday
adjournment" said MIR. Fulton. Even
now he may be hurrying to this chamber"
MIR. Lodge smiled and observed that
such implicit confidence as that shown by
the Senator from Oregon was at once
admirable and touching.
Mr.. Fulton declared that he had no
doubt that Senator Ellxins meant what
he said. II know how disappointed he
will be when he arrives here, out OF breath.
with the report In his hand, only to learn
that 1t Is too late" he declared
Mr.. Lodge insisted on his motion to
adjourn, but not till after the Senator
from Oregon, growing serious, told the
Senate that after the holidays he would
move to discharge the committee and
at the same time seek TO prove from the
Congressional Record that his legislative
condolences had been misplaced.
The Fulton bill seeks to amend the rate
law 30 as to provide that on complaint
of a shipper the commission may post
pone the date on which proposed in
crease of rate posted by the carrier shall
60 into effect un til an opportunity has been
afforded for full investigation to estab-
lish the reasonableness Of the proposed

XMAS IN. THE BANKS.
State Bank Leads on With a Five Per
Cent. Ronus on Salaries.

The expectation among employees Of

day season was enhanced yesterday by an
announcement that the State Bank had
authorized the payment Of bonus Of

and employees. The payment Of bonuses
Of this kind was customary prior to last
year. when on account OF the panic clerks
and other employees in many banking
and brokerage houses. got reductions
brokerage business in particular has
been prosperous since election, and in
many of the larger houses yesterday 1t
was said that there would certainly be
no repetition Of last years Irish div-
dends' to employees, but instead sub
stantial bonuses.
