taken by the departments in the details of legislation"
 In his speech MT. Aldrch said he did not desire to serve on the proposed commission. He spoke at length of the dupication of the work of the various departments. He did not doubt that 10 per cent of present expenditures could be saved by a commission.
 MT. Money regarded as most serious MT. Aldrich's admission that $l00,00O.- 900 year was being wasted by mal- administration. He agreed that there should be a commission but he did not believe that it sh ould be compos ed of members of Congress, for he had lit tie faith in mixed commissions.
 There was much discussion of tn : bill. MT. Carter traced the present evils largely to the ambition of de- partmental officials. As going to sh ow the inadeQNate methods of the depart ments, he said that the postal com mission was unable to ascertain from the books of thu post office department tie cost of carrying the second class mail when it endeavored to do so a few years ago.
 Mir. Newlands advocated a commits sion to be appointed by the President MT. Bristow expressed the opinion that the committee on public expenditures should do the work which it Is proposed to impose upon a commission. He said anxious to avoid the duty, to perform which 1t had been created. He did not believe any practical results would follow the work of the investigation.
 The Senate did not conclude consider ation of the bill.

Washington, February 21.-Senator Ald- rich said today that If permitted to do so he would undertake to run the govern ment of the United States for $S00, COG, 900 a year less than it now costs. He was not presenting that formal proposition, but was making a speech to the Senate on his bill providing for the creation of d commission to reform the business meth ods of the government.
 He pleaded earnestly for the authority, saying that recent methods were obsolete and involved the annual loss of at least s100 0O0,000. At his instance the bill was so amended as to provide that the com mission should be composed entirely or members of Congress-fiye senators and five members of the House.
 MT. Aldrich spoke in response to Sena- tor Deliver who opposed the bill on the ground that it would create suspicion in the mind of the public as to the methods of conducting the governments business. Mr Deliver said he feared the commis- sion would accomplish no good, but much evil. He regarded the bill as a proposi- ton to enter "upon a blanket disparage- ment of the government" He declared the commission would cost not less than S3Oo, 900 and said he thought there were too many commissions in the field al- ready. MT. Deliver said he did not know what was the motive for the legislation.
 q know that the executive depart ments are taking much interest in us these days" he said. We have fallen on times when much interest Is

on Congress, he pointed out, was absolute and unqualified.
 Mir. Clements suggested that it was get ting into the question of protective tariff and free trade when the committee brought up the long and short haul prob lem with particular reference to lower railroad rates for goods shipped to and from abroad.
 The railroads reply to criticism of that discrimination he said was that if they did not allow the lower rates the Ca nadian railroads or some other routing arrangement would.
 He suggested that the committee might include in the proposed legislation pro- vision permitting maximum per cent of difference between these foreign rates and the domestic rates on the railroads, or the committee might vest in the inter state commerce commission discretionary power to deal with each particular. case on the facts, having in mind what differ ence in favor of the foreign freight would be detrimental to the United States. The difference would have to be sufficiently great to bring foreign business or it would be worth less.
 He thought that so long as the freight rates on domestic transportation of Uni ted States products were not unreasona- ble it was not unreasonable to permit the lower rate in order to enable the opening up of the markets of the world, the keeping up of factories and the dis position of their surplus products rather than the possible closing of the factories when the demand of the domestic busi- ness were met. You could put rule in the law" he added. providing that when common carrier in this country does participate fn the import tariff, it is to be presumed that the rates charged cover cost. This would help to determine whether the rate charged on domestic freight alone was higher than it should ha

INIOUITIES OF ANTHRACITE
 COAL TRUST ARE JNFOLDED

Philadelphia, Pa, February I.-Stand- ing in the United States circuit court for five hours today, James C. McReynolds, special assistant to the United States at torney general, unfolded the alleged in iuuities of the so-called anthracite coal trust and charged that seven of the mine coal carrying railroads entering the hard coal in the fields of Pennsylvania are in conspiracy to stifle trade. On be- half of the government. he asked the court to issue an injunction to break up the alleged monopolistic control of the domestic fuel and also pleaded that the acquisition by some of the railroads of stock In competing railroads and coal companies be declared violation of the Sherman antitrust law
 Judges Grey, Burlington and Lanning gave unusually close attention to the case.
 MT McReynolds laid great stress upon the part the Temple Iron company has played in the coal fields, declaring that its organization clearly showed con- spiracy among the coal roads to con-

Washington, February 21.-Attoriney General Wickersham appeared before the Senate committee on interstate commerce late today and explained in detail she latest administration changes desired Tn the bill to create court of commerce and amend the interstate commerce laws. Ii had been expected that an effort would be made today to bring the subject to q vote and that the bill might be ordered favorably reported, but MT. Wickersham's s sta tements and the questions put to him consumed so much time that it was de- cided to hold another meeting tomo-- row.
 Senator Cummins, author of the rival railroad bill, examined the Attorney General with great care concerning many features of the administration bill, which conhicted with his own bill. At the same time he did not condemn the administra- ton bill and the indications are that nc great difficulty will be encountered in reaching an agreement for report.
 In discussion of the constitution and the tariff crept into the proceedings Of the House committee on interstate con- merce when Commissioner Judson C.. Clements was giving his views on pro visions of the Townsend and Mann bills for the amendment of the commerce law.
 There was considerable discussion about the possible conflict of the federal and state legislation in the matter of regulation of bond issues of the common carriers, but MT. Clements thought Con gress and the state legislatures could op- crate in harmony. The state could impose Its own restrictions additional to those of the federal power, within certain linl- its, but the constitutional power conferred

PENSION ROLLS
 WILL BE SWELLED

Washington, February H.-(Special)- Advocates of pension legislation say there are excellent prospects for letting down the bars for perhaps 25,oeo more pensions at an annual cost to the public or sSo"'' 900 before the session expires.
 Representative Langley of Kentucky was in conference with Senator McCum- her. chairman of the pensions commit te today. and learns from him that 'he McCumber bill admitting to the roll all widows who married soldiers up to three years ago is to be reported.
 MT. Langley will introduce a similar bill in the House Wednesday and be- lieves the prospects are bright for its massage. The advocates of the legisla- ton say it will only place from lo,Oot to 15,OOO new names on the roll. but the pension bureau estimates it from 20,0o( to 25,oOO at s144 a year each.

Washington, February H.-The contin- ued improvement in the condition of Sen ator Benjamin R. Tilman of South Caro- lima has inspired renewed hope in his ul- innate recovery The opinion of his phy- sicians is that the chances are favorable.
 There has been some abatement or the paralysis and today the patient regatned the use of his right arm and right leg to a limited extent. The aphasia has mark edly disappeared and he is now able to speak. The change for the better Is said to be most remarkable and is attributed to the senator's temperate life, strong physique and his generally healthy con dition.
 The favorable developments in the sen ator's illness were considered very ex- ceptional and in fact his case is looked upon as one in ten thousand The pa tient is responding admirably to medical treatment and it is stated that the power

 pr. J. w. Babcock was so encouraged by the present condition of MT. Tillman today that he left Washington tonight for Columbia, s. c. Before boarding the train he gave the following state ment to the Associated Press:
 MT. Tillman has not lost any ground in the last "A hours. On the contrary, he has gained somewhat in the use of the right arm and right leg. which have been completely paralyzed heretofore. His power of speech is also improving. He Is taking nourishment well, and his bod fly functions are normal. The senator is sleeping we'll and the outlook is very much more encouraging in every wise"
 If the senator's condition continues to improve he may be able to leave for his home in South Carolina in a month or six weeks, but hardly before that time. and in all likelihood. it Is stated, he will not be permitted by his physicians to occupy his seat in Congress during the present session.
