DELAY VOTE IN SENATE
INSURGENTS AND DEMOCRATS
TO ANSWER HEPBURN. -
Point Raised by Idaho Senator New
Discussion of Railroad
Bill.

Not today and probably not tomorrow
replied Senator Cummins when. at the
beginning of today's session. he was ask
ed when a vote on the tariff agreement
provision of the railroad bill would be
reached.
Possibly the end may be reached late
tomorrow he added. but it is not GER
tain and when asked for an explanation
attributed the delay to the speech on the
provision made by Senator Hepburn
Tuesday.
In that speech Mr.. Hepburn took the
position that the Crawford Elkins amend
ment does not have the effect OF repeal
Eng the Sherman antitrust law in SO far
as ii applies to the railroads.
No one had thought of taking that
position before. and we shall. Of course.
have to meet the contention" said Mr..
Cummins even though II does delay
action. We shall make IL SO plain that
no one can doubt
He said that in addition to Senator
Bristow he. Senator Clay and Senator
Borah and possibly other senators would
discuss the Hepburn proposition.
Senator Bristow resumed his speech as
soon the railroad bill was taken up
in the Senate today. He entered upon a
discussion of the rates on sugar. with
the evident intention of demonstrating
that by charging more for short than for
long hauls the railroads were discrimi-
mating unfairly against many commu-
mites.

woMAN's HOSPITAL IN 1885
Remarkable Will of Aged Philanthro-
 pist Contains All Details

The beautiful mansion on Main street, between the Old South and Piedmont Congregational churches, for half cen tury the home of the famous inventor and Philanthropist, Thomas H. Dodge, is to be a part of the "Eliza D. and Cora J. D. Dodge Hospital" in 1885, says the Boston Herald. This is made obligatory under the will of the aged philanthropist, made when he was S4 years old. and which has just been filed for probate.
 MT. Dodge, who died at the age of S6, had always taken great interest in movements for the betterment of the social conditions of women. His idea for many years was to found wo- man s hospital to perpetuate his name He had plans made and his will even goes to the length of directing the kind of building material to be used, the dimensions of the various air spaces in the building, the ornamentation, the style of lettering in and upon the front of the building and its exact location, his mansion house to be part of the general scheme.
 A trust fund for the maintenance of the hospital, which is to be for women and children, and not for contagious or incurable diseases, amounting to about $50 1000, is to be set aside, to be placed on interest, and it is figured that at the expiration it will amount to $l,600000, invested at 41a per cent, which would double itself every fifteen years.
 A provision of the will and the be- quest is that there shall stand in the corridor of the new building, to be seen l plainly from the entrance, tlAee life sized, standing portraits of himself, fianked on either side by pictures of his two wives, Eliza Daniels and Cora | Dodge, the maiden names of the invent OTIS wives. The will specifies the exact style of frame in which the paintings are to be placed, even to the style of gilt to be used, the width and depth.
 In this remarkable will Mr. Dodge went into the most minute detail, even to providing for the extension of the plank walk on the north side of the present mansion house, and the rail of i the steps leading to the back door of the mansion being extended to- the en- trance to the proposed hospital.
 | Mrs. Cora Dodge, the widow of the philanthropist, is pleased with the will. She entirely approves of the hospital idea, although the will was not made subject to her approval, and regrets that she will not see the carrying out of the plan of her husband She will re- main in the mansion, living with her sister, who is a teacher in the classical high school, and has confided to friends that she will not marry again. She is but little more than 40 years old, and her life work has been devoted to the Y. M. C. A. in connection with which work she met MT. and Mrs. Dodge near. | ly twenty-five years ago. During the latter years of Mir. Dodge s life she act. ed as his confidential clerk.

 From Reuter- s London wireless ser vice the ocean daily editor gets plenty of material. Stock exchange quotations are given very fully. All notable events and the movements of famous people are recorded.
 Moreover, the ocean daily often gets news that the land dailies cannot get. For the liners are in touch with one another as well as in touch with land all the way across the ocean, and each vessel supplies items of news about it. self and its passengers.
 A very artistic production is the Journal de lAtlantique, published on board the steamship La Provence of the Compagne Generale Transatlantique It has larger pages than the Cunard Bulletin, and each number is well illus. trated, and the news is published in both French and English.
