The Railroad Bill.

Washington, June 3.-There are
differences enough between the Senate
and House railroad bills to afford a fine
fighting field for the conference com
mittee that will be charged with the
duty Of finding a compromise. Every
conflicting point will have the backing
of a majority in either the Senate or
House and conference which comedies
the elimination Of provision will be
assured a tanning when they return
and confess to their colleagues. Threats
are plentiful enough, as aggressive
statemen declare that il the sections
they fought for are removed from the
bill the conference report shall never
be adopted. Such threats are often
made and rarely fulfilled but they
generally presage season OF thunder
and lightning. When Senator Aldrich
and Representative Mann clash in the
conference committee the ensuing
scenewill be calculated to thrill the on
lockers, who will be the only other
members Of the committee.
Barring some eleventh hour amend
ments that will be dropped by the CON
ference committee without much dispute
each of the champions will be strongly
devoted to the product of his branch of
the legislative mill. Both the Senate
and House have voted to place tele-
graph and telephone companies under
the jurisdiction of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and have adopted
sections dealing with the practice OF
railroads in charging higher rates for a

61ST. CONGRESS
SENATE.


When the railroad bill was taken up
TODAY. Senator Aldrich was in his seat
ready to assume leadership and hasten
final vote on the measure. he I'M
mediately began a series OF conferences
with all factions, trying to iron out diff
ferences and arrange a harmonious ter
mination of the long struggle.
The Sutherland amendment pro-
yiding that the Interstate Commerce
Commission must decide within year
whether a discriminatory rate for a
short haul is permissible was further
discussed
A resolution offered by Senator Bur
ton, relating to the recent increase OF
freight rates was adopted. 1t in
structs the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to send report TO the Senate
giving information as to the advance
of rates and furnish one hundred ex-
amples of how the leading commodities
are effected
Senator La Toilette requested that
his resolution expressing the sense OF
the Senate that the attorney general
should obtain an injunction restrain
ing the increase of rates should lie
on the table until tomorrow. He gave
notice that he will then submit some
remarks on the subject.
After a great deal of short range dis
cussion Mr.. Sutherland modified his
amendment by accepting the suggestion
of Senator Paynter, that the Interstate
Commerce Commission may extend the
period beyond one year if unable to
reach a decision within that time.
The Sutherland amendment was
adopted 81 to 81.
An amendment offered by Senator
Beverage permitting telephone com.
panies to have franks. was accepted and
adopted.
The House today, sitting as com
mittee OF whole, adopted into the sun
dry civil bill an amendment offered by
Mr.. Mann appropriating $50, 600 to en-
able the secretary of agriculture to
conduct experiments as to methods for
grinding several species of cheap north
ern woods into puld for the msnufsc-
ture of pulp paper. -.
Representative Mann declared that II
was in his opinion possible to utilize
jack pine, paper leaf birch and other
woods for this purpose and that the dis
covery of such a method would end the
dependency of this country upon Can
ada for her pulp wood, and solve the
critical print paper situation which to-
day faces the newspapers of the United
States.
Mr.. Swaysee gave bitter party IT,
rade of over an hour tracing every
muck -raking attack upon President
Taft the republican partly andthe Payne
tariff law to the pique of the press OF
this country in not securing material
reducing the duty on print paper.

ALARM IN CHINA
Unrest I'm Celestial Empire-Anriety
Among Foreigners.

London, June 3-Missionary societies
with branches in China and business
houses that trade in China unite today
in the opinion that the warning sent
Yesterday to the foreign legations IN
Pekin by Chinese reyolutionists OF an
impending anti-dynasty uprising, pre-
sents a serious danger to foreigners
throughout China. The foreign office,
which is seeking to minimize the dan
ger, is seyeraly criticised by those best
acquainted with conditions in that
country Yesterdays news is wholly
confrmatory Of recent advices received
by missionary headquarters and Lon
don merchants with branch houses IN
| China.
A vast network OF Chinese secret
societies and guilds, embracing, millions
of members and working under the
general direction of an organization
called the Tried" is back of the pre-
sent disturbance While it is primarily
an -Manchurian movement, those
best Uniformed on Chinese affairs declare
that it will inevitably assume the
proportions of war on all foreigners
For this reason they are urging, that
England wait no longer to take steps
to check the movement. Unless dras-
tic action is taken Immediately, the
boxer uprising of few years ago will
be repeated on a far larger scale; is the
opinion of students Of Chinese affairs.
Workmen Buried Alive. :
New York, June 3.-Park Row, New
York, at the point where pedestrian
traffic is heaviest, apparently is sinking
as the result of a tremendous cavern
in the foundation of the new $S,000,-

workmen were buried alive today.
Three were dug out an hour later.
They were still alive. The other two
could not be located, and they were
believed te be bnred under thousands
Of tons of earth and rock.
Within half an hour OF the cavern,
Park Row began to sag from the west
ern side to the center. The depression
was fully four inches and slowly. deep
ened. Pedestrians and vehicles were
Immediately ordered off the street,
traffic was stopped on the Third avenue
elevated roads and steps were taken to
brace the massive iron elevated struc
ture, which began to sag.
The accident occurred when the
morning crowds were pouring into the
Row from Brooklyn Bridge, the East
Side and the Bronx. Thousands who
heard the terrific rumble with which
the earth tore away and partly filled
the immense excavation, were thrown
into a panic that taxed the resources OF
the police reserves that were hurriedly
rushed to the scene.
The excavation in which the cave-in
occurred is an irregular area OF 10000
square feet in the two blocks bounded
by Tyron-Row and Centre, Duane street
and Park Row.
The depth is from thirty-fve to forty
feet with precipitous sides. .

WHARTON GROVE CAMP CLOSES.

Wharton Grove encampment closed
on Sunday night, after ten-days'
meeting. Doctors Wharton, Jackson
and Perryman delighted the crowds
with their able gospel sermons and
many were persuaded to take the stand
for God and right. The attendance
during the week was not large, except
on one or two evenings. but the two
Sundays were record breakers. 1t is
thought that nearly as many attended
the last Sunday as did the first. which
was the largest gathering ever known
at camp in this section.
A little CONSERVATION and worry was
noticeable among the boat owners when
they found that two large Revenue Cut
tiers had been anchored opposite the
grounds the night before for the ex-
press purpose of overhauling all the
gasoline and other boats to see if they
measured up to the requirements of the
regulations recently passed by Congress.
A few were found to be lacking in their
equipment and their owners names
were taken and sent to Washington.

There have been bigger and more
predaclous fish caught, and the
stories OF such as astounding and
wonderful and as truthful ms
ever; the greatest crop of NELL
MAIDEN ever seen, and these more
docile and eager TO be netted than
ever; political questions more
than ever at odds and ends: old
leaders relegated to the rear: the
biggest and most remarkable
snakes ever known, and these

and anomalous murders. and
