In the Senate Thursday the Cum
minis amendment to the railroad bill
requiring the approval of the inter
state commerce commission to all in
creases in railroad rates before they
take effect, was under consideration
throughout the day, but no vote was
reached. Mr.. Cummins occupied the
floor during the entire session. The
regular Republicans and Democrats
failed to reach an agreement. Cam
paign speeches occupied the House
while sundry civil appropriation bill
theoretically was under consideration.
There was a strenuous debate on for
estry, resulting in sending back for
further conference a Senate amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation
bill, giving the States 35 per cent in
stead of % per cent of the gross re-
ceipts from forestry administration.
The remainder of the conference report
was agreed to.

The provision of the railroad bill for
an extra allowance of $4,000 a year to
members of the proposed court OF COM
merce over the allowances of Circuit
Court judges was stricken out by the
Senate Tuesday. The greater part Of
the session was devoted to a discussion
of the Cummins amendment making
the interstate commerce commission
the defendant in all cases in The courts
growing out of orders of that commits
sion, but no action was taken. Gener-
al debate on the sundry civil bill in
the House gave an opportunity for
several speeches. Mr. Campbell of
Kansas denounced Democratic tariff
revision which, he said, was shown by
experiences of the country to be disas-
trous. Mr.. Underwood Of Alabama
criticised the President and the Re-
publican majority of the House for
failure to give publicity to facts gath
cred in connection with the corpora
ton tax. Mr.. Keifer of Ohio advocated
his plan for an international agree
ment for preserving neutrality Of the

diana denounced machine politics in
general and the Republican party in
particular. Mr.. Sisson spoke in favor
of legislation abolishing gambling in

By vote of 40 to % the Senate
Wednesday amended and accepted the
House provision of the railroad bill
which places the defense of suits be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the hands of the Attorney Gen
eral, but permits the commission and
shippers to intervene and even to con-
tinue the suit in case the Attorney
General withdraws. The period dur
ing which rates of railroad companies
may be suspended by the commission
was extended from so to 120 days on
motion of Mr. Aldrich. The debate on
the bill continued throughout the day
and was marked by some sharp pass
ages between Senators Rayner and
Hughes and also between Senators
Rayner and Elkins. An early adjourn
ment was taken to afford the Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to confer over
certain propositions made to them by
the regular Republicans. The House
spent the day debating bill to extend
to the Territory of Hawaii the laws of

priations that are enjoyed by terri
tories within the United States. The
