PROSPECT FOR VOTE
RAILROAD BILL OUTLOOK 10 NOT
ENCOURAGING.
DAY FULL OF CONSULTATIONS
Senator cummins Occupies the Floor
and Urges His Rate Regulation
Amendment.

MISUNDERSTANDING the da,
with fair prospect of an agreement
between the regular republicans and
the democrats which would permit ar
early vote upon the railroad bill the
senate concluded Thursdays session
in as great uncertainty as 1t has been
at any time on that and all other
points.
The day was full Of consultations
and from the hour of meeting at noon
the situation shifted many times
When adjournment was taken shortly
after o'clock there was more talk
OF an understanding between the
regular" republicans and the "insur.
gents" republicans than between the
regulars and the democrats.
The first reports of the day indicat.
ed the strong probability that a large
majority of the democrats. II not all
of them. would agree to accept a
proposition Of the republicans to
strike out the last three sections of
the bill relating to the capitalization
Of railroads.
This arrangement was to have car.
ried with it the adoption of an amend
ment presented by Senator Cummins
to prohibit the lowering of railroad
rates to destroy water competition
and give a place of advantage to the
New Mexico and Arizona statehood
bill. In return the democrats were
expected to expedite the railroad bill
by voting against most of the amend
ments offered by the insurgents"
and assist in laying some of them on
the table.
When this proposition was put in
writing and Senator Johnson of Ala
bama began to circulate it on the
minority side of the chamber he met
with much opposition and before he
had proceeded far his associates be-
came convinced his party was by no
means unanimous in favor OF the
proposed compact.
Among those who refused to sign
were Senators Bacon. Rayner. Fra
zier. Overman and Smith Is. c.
They raised the objection that the |
agreement would be construed as a |
to the "Aldrich republic
ans" With such a large detection
the movers for an agreement prac.
tically decided before the close of the
day to refrain from further effort in
that direction.
The failure to put through this
formal plan did no: have the effect of
a complete discontinuance OF
the efforts to bring the bill to an ear
" vote. Senator Aldrich, who was
the prime mover in this direction.
was busy throughout the day. Just
before the senate adjourned he ex-
pressed the opinion that some ar
rargemert would be made soon which
would insure the passage of the bill
1t an early date. Senator Hale in
IN open talk in the senate said that
/ vote should be reached by the end
II next week.

THE BEST OF STEAK
Most Effective Way o. Dealing. for In
stance With the Flank End
Of Porteshouse.

Before speaking of the cooking Of
the cuts that lack tenderness through
out. 1t may be well to refer to the fact
that the flank end of The porterhouse
Is to be classed with the toughest Of
cuts and with those which, when
cooked alone. are with difiiculty made
tender even by long heating. Mock
duck. which Is commonly made out of
Hank steak. can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steamins or cooking in water, and yet
people quite generally broil this part
OF the steak with the tenderloin and
expect It to be eaten. The fact IL that
to brofl this part Of the porterhouse
steak Is not good management. 1t il
much more profitable to put 1t into
the soup kettle or to make II into q
stew. In families where most of the
members are away during the day the
latter Is q good plan. for the end Of
the steak makes . good stew for two
or three people. This may be sea-
soned with vegetables left from din
ner. or two or three olives cut up In
gravy will give q very good flavor: or
few drops Of some one Of the bottled
meat sauces. II the flavor is relished.
or little Chill sauce may be added to
the stew. But II the tough end of q
porterhOuse Is needed with the rest. q
good plan is to put 1t through a meat
grinder. make It into balls. and broil It
with the tender portions. Each men,
bel of the family can then be served
with a piece Of the tenderloin and q
meat ball. II the chopped meat is
seasoned with little onion juice.

JAPAN BUDDHISTS USE
THE BIBLE

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-M. E.
Bishop M. c. Merriman of Korea,
formerly bishop of Japan, says
Christianity is making such head
way in Japan that the Buddhist
priests are using the bible, which
they term The Universal Good
Book" in their service.
THE Methodists, Presbyterians,
COngregationalists and Anglican
and Protestant Episcopalians are
practically one body, all using the
same hymn, book, the same litera-
ture, the same methods, SO the orr
entails there know only two forms
Of the Christian religion, the old
and the new, Catholic and Protest,
ant" he said.
Because there is no friction to
occasion doubt or distrust, the
Christian religion has had ire
mendous effect on the nation, be-
yond what appears in the mere
number of converts. 1t has taken
hold at the top, and percolated to
the common people.
"The 100000 Christians in Japan
are divided about equally between
the Professionals and the Greek and
Roman Catholics. There are 100000
Christians in Korea"
