ed into the stone in famous Cabin
Johns Bridge 6 miles west of this

tanned in the stone tablet in the

which the districts water supply pas
ses. During President Lincoln's ad-
ministration and after Mr. Davis had
become President Of the Confederacy
the latter's name was chiseled out b.
some stanch adherent OF the Union.

Immediately after the chamber pass

received the rebuke with a shrug ot
the shoulders declaring it only served
to bind closer their forces which
would soon startle the country by big
increases and rapid extensions. On
the other hand it is intimated tina:
the government has no other plans in
view to offset any serious growth Of
the strike. Up to midnight there was
no change in the situation. If any
thing It was in the direction OF weak
ening the strike sentiment. The gen
eral impression is that if the move
ment does not make vast strides to
morrow, it is almost certain of com

mental order was issued today by the
interstate commerce commission in
the so-called Spokane rate case BY
which the commissions order is post
poned temporarily as to Chicago and
Northwestern, Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company. It is not
unlikely that the order may be abro-
gated entirely so far as the lines
mentioned are concerned as the plea
made in their behalf that the distance
between them from Chicago to Spok'
ane is about 400 miles farther than
via the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. Therefore it would be a
great hardship upon them to compel
them &c haul freight from Chicago to
Spokane at the same rates as given
by the northern roads,

cided the Spokane rate case It ordered
all railroads in revising their tariffs
to take into consideration rates from
Pacific oCast to interior points so thai

effected adversely, in short to keer
an even balance between merchants

WASHINGTON, May l3.-After a
day devoted to discussion Of the
duty on iron ore, the senate adopted,
by a vote Of 81 to GA the recon-
mendations Of the committee on
finance for duty Of rs cents per
ton. The house had placed that ar
ticle on the free liset. The Dingle7
rate was 40 cents per ton.
Party lines were entirely eliminat-
ed in the vote today as II democrats
voted aye and l2 republicans voted
no. During the day Senator Bailey
announced that he proposed to vote
for the duty on iron ore as revenue
measure declaring that free ore did
not affect the prosperity Of the
! United States steel corporation and
added. that even If it did there Is >
better way to deal with that orga-
nization, which is by the enforce
ment Of the antitrust law against II
He declared he expected to see this
law enforced and expressed conf
dence that eventually the officers Of
the steel corporation would be either
in the penitentiary or fugitives from
Justice. For the first time there was
suggestion looking or the fixing Of
the date for vote on the tariff bill
but it came to naught because Of the
objection of Senator Beveridge.
