WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The in
surgents against the present rules OF
the house are leaving Washington for
their homes jubilant over the pro
gress that they have made in stirring
up an i%nsurrectlon in the Republican
ranks. They will tell their constit-
uents that before the end or the ses-
sion the rules will be amended.
One Of the insurengts e~xpresse1
himself today as certain that at least
one change will be made in the rules.
He said that he believed there would
be opposition to it at a Republican
caucus. The amendment would pro
vide for a day each week for the call
of committees on bills. Some Of them
claim that this is all that is necessary
to get relief from the presnt rules

able the committee to get before tie
house all of the important bills Of the

asmuch as the house would have an
opportunity to pass on the bills in
the course Of a short period, surely
during a session Of congress, the
packing Of a committee against a bill
would have no other effect than the
influence Of the opinion Of its mem.
bers upon those who had not investi-
gated the subject thoroughly.
It is acknowledged by some OF the
leaders Of the i~nsurengents that the
only hope Of amending the rules lies
in the action ofsthe minority. The new
minority leader, Representative
Champ Clark Of Missouri, does MOI
feel himself bound OF his party com
mitted to any program until he sees
how the Republicans will line up. He
objects to forming an alliance with
the insurgents, which he fears NAV
eventually be broken.
The minority is willing to stand for
an amendment Of the rules, it is I'm
derstood, in accordance with the plat
form of the Denver. convention, hut
it would like to get just as much
credit as possible for the reforms.

TO FIGHT FINE
IS BRIEF OF CORPORATION is

TRIED TO FIND RATE
Claim is Made That the Company Did
Az Within Its Power i > Ascertain
Correct Rate, and that Fine Should
Not Lay Against Il.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The
Standard Oil company,s brief in the
proceedings of the United States
against that company on the charge
OF accepting rebates from the Chica-
go and Alton railroad, In which the
United States court for the northern
district Of Illinois imposed a fine or
~$29,240,O0O was today filed in the su-
preme court Of the United States.
The case comes before The court on
"a petition by the government for d
writ Of certerorai bringing it up for
review Of the decision or the United
States circuit courtSof appeals for the
seventh circuit, by which the district.
courts decision was reversed. The
brief antagonizes the petition and this
opposition is based principally On the
ground that the law does not author
lie a review by the supreme court on
any judgment Of the circuit court Of
appeals in a criminal case by which
a writ Of error of the defendant is
sustained and disposed of by ever
Ing the judgment and sentence of the
trial court. 1t is commended that in a
case Of this character a writ of Ger:
teorari is equivalent to a writ of error
and that tthe policy of the law is
against the review of a Judgment In
favor of the accused in a criminal
case at the instance of the govern
ment." a
1t is pointed on that while 6 cents
the lawful rate on petroleum on
all rates from Chicago TO East ST..
Louis except from the stations at
East Chicago, Hammond, Ind, and
Whiting or other switching points in
Indiana from the point that the gov
eminent contends that the railway
was required to charge % cents per
hundred or three times the Chicago
rate and that therefore the Standard
company, which shipped from the su.
burb# of Whiting at the Chicago rate
was properly mulcted by the district
court in the sum of $29,00O,0OO for
shipping at and paying a prohibit
tive rate of three times as much as
the Chicago rate.
Contention is made that due effort
was made on behalf of the Standard
company to discover the legal rate
and 1t is urged that the company
should not be held responsible for It's
in that request.
