Sanstofs proceeded setenely today
with the job of fixing up their railroad
bill despite the fact that the House
with much contention acd heavy labor
passed MEASURE ON thu same subject
Yesterday. Senators, well aware OF the
fact that the shouting up Of the bill in
the House has been from angle s differ
est from those employ ed 10 the Ssoste,
will indulge themselves in mere grim
smiles when they hear officially that
tho House asks their Concurrence.
The House version of The bill will De
referred to the Senate COMMITTEE CT
iutsrstste commerce. The commits e
most likely will let it rest in pigt on
hole until the Senate bill has beeo
abcu: completed. Then the committee
will, 10 all probability, recommend that
the Senate bill be adopted as eus'
s,i;ue; the Senate Will follow the rec
ommendstiop and The Senate bill will
be sent to the House for concurrence.
The House will refuse to concar spd
will ask for a conference, which vii!
take place without further delay. A
conference committee u.uslls consists
of committees consisting of two repu5i;-
cans and one democrat from each branch
of Congress.

Ii became apparent today that Ples:-
dent Tafts $3.50, 600 appropriation for
| scientific tariff investigation is not to
have plain sailing through Congress,
when Represer tstives Payne, Dalzsll and
Tawney conferred with the president oo
i the proposition. The item is now In the
| sundry civil bill placed there by Chair
casnTawae7 of the appropriation com
| miitee. The -protsctionists in the House
are opposed to the measure and they Will
make an effort to defeat it. Messrs. Dalzeii
and Payne, high priests Of protection, In
| timated to the president today that they
| scarcely favored the measure, and 1t Is pos
/ sible that they may lead an attack upon 1t.
| The appropriation has now come tn DE
! looked upon a. an attempt to Justify the Ie-
public attitude upon the tariff administ-a'
| ton adhe,euts bei'eve that il the country is
promised scientific tariff Investigation with
| subsequent revision within the next two or
| three wears the strongest issue Of the demo-
1 Gratis in the coming election Will be taken

| measure as an attempt TO save the republican,
tariff record.
From all sections of the United States
! Polish Americans gathered today IN this
city to attend the ceremony OF the un-
yelling of the two statues erected to the
memory of those two great Polish pa
trio.s, Kosciusko and Pulaski, who took
SO prominent part in the American
revolutionary war. The statues, OF
bronze on granite pedestals, have been
| presented to the American nation by the
Polish National Alliance, and President
! Taft himself accepted the gifts in an ad
dress before al arge audience in which
he dwelt upon the heroic qualities and
the love of liberty which characterized
the men thus commemorated. There
| was parade of troops Of the regular
| army, including battery OF artillery
which fred the salutes, the national
guard of the District, the High School
Cadets and the members of the various
| Polish societies. The Secretaryof War
presided. The invocation was delivered
by Bishop Paul P. Rhode. of Chicago,
| aud there were addresses by several
prominent Poles from that and other
cities. The Pulaski statue stands in the

street, while that to Kosciusko is in l. a.
fayette Square opposite the White House

18th street, the parade marched to La
tactic Square where similar ceremonies
we're held.
| An agreement was reached by the con
| ference committee on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill to-day. A
deadlock had been caused by the fact
! that the House insisted that the entire
cost OF maintaining Fairgrounds should
I've borne by the District, while the SEN
ate held that half the expense should be
| paid by the government. The Senate
conferees receded and the Honse pre-
walls.
Final plans for engineering the Taft rail-
road hill throuph the Senate were laid before
