No One Seems to Know How
House Will Act.
WHIPS AFTER MEMBERS
Hurry Call Sent Out for Both Re-
publicans and Democrats.
MANN AGAINST CONCURRENCE
Belief That Majority of Republi-
can Members Will Vote to Send
Bill to Conference.

Hurry calls went out today for all alb
sent members of the House. republicans
and democrats, to come back post haste
prepared for a contest tomorrow over
the question whether the House shall
concur in the Senate amendments to the
administration railroad bill or send the
measure to conference.
Republican leaders were particularly ac-
tive and they proceeded to arrange pairs
for all members of their party who could
not be reached.
No one was willing today to prophesy
what disposition would be made of the
bill. The nearest to definite statement
tative source was that there was a
strong movement on foot to concur in the
Senate bill. Many members had not
made up their minds in regard to the
Senate amendments and this made it diff
ficult to make an accurate prediction
whether there would be an immediate
and sweeping agreement on the BILL or
whether the measure would drag along
in conference for the next fortnight or
longer.
Mann for Conference.
Chairman Mann of the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, will insist
upon the bill going to conference 1t is
expected that he will be backed by a
majority of the republicans.
The democrats have not yet decided
whether to vote to accept the Senate bill,
because they consider it better than the
House BILL or help to send 1t to confer
ence, in the hope that it would be fur
ther amended.
A number OF 'insurgent'' republicans
accept it.
When the bill comes up tomorrow it
may be referred to the commerce COM
mittee unless the Speaker rules that 1t
may be considered Immediately. If it
to the House within a day or two the
lines of all parties then will have been
formed for a quick solution of the ques-
ton.

ton of former Representative McCleary
of Minnesota. who was sent to Europe to
investigate the report on the matter by
the Abraham Lincoln memorial commits
sion created by Congress.
bill to carry out the plan favored by
the association was introduced in the
United States Senate by Secretary of
State Knox, when he was Senator from
Pennsylvania. This bill passed the Senate,
but failed in the House. A similar bill
was introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives by Representative Lafean of
Pennsylvania, but no action on it has yet
been taken.
No Subscriptions Asked.
The association does not intend to
ask for a public subscription of any
kind Whatever expenses are con-
nected with the work OF the assOcia-
tion will be met by the Ulcers per-
sonally. Those forming this associa-
tion believe that the national laemorial
to Lincoln should be paid for e,:tirely
by the national government, witch
represents all the people Of the nation.
The road as planned is to be aboIt
seventy-two miles long and about 200
feet wide. The estimated cost is ST..
100000.
Commenting on the proposed mem
orial, Mr.. McCleary said:
Immediately on the publication OF
the plan for a magnificent highway
from the Capital of the country to the
world famous battlefield of Gettysburg
as the most suitable memorial to the
loved and lamented Lincoln, the idea
met with hearty approval in all parts
of the country Newspapers in every
state gave editorial sanction to the
proposal.
lit was formally indorsed by the last
national encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic. and has been enthusias-
tically indorsed by many other patriotic,
civic and commercial organizations. In
terest in the idea continues to grow.
The plan has warm supporters In almost
every community, as correspondence with
leading men in every state shows.
1.-The friends of this project are In en-
tire sympathy with the view so widely
held that the time has come for the ma
ton to show it's affection for Lincoln by
means of an appropriate memorial. Al
ter thorough investigation of memorials
of all kinds i'm this country and in Eu-
| rope. and with full appreciation of the
merits of other proposed plans, it is our
deliberate Judgment that of all the plans
that have been suggested the one for the
great memorial highway is incomparably
the best and most appropriate"

Estimated Loss, $4,000.

The fire was in the five-story building
at 116 Washington street. occupied by the
free storage bonded warehouse. The loss
is estimated at $4,000 Adjoining tene-
ment buildings were hurriedly emptied as
the fire assumed a dangerous look, but
the flames were confined to the ware
house structure. F'ireboats gave mate
rial aid in fighting the blaze.
The dangerous character of the fire be-
came apparent when the first gangs of
firemen entered it with hose. A large
part of the contents of the warehouse
consisted of liquors, anilne dyes and
twine, and the noXious fumes from these
burning substances caused the firefighters
to drop by the dozen. 1t was only by
heroic work that their companions sue
ceeded in saving several of the uncon-
scious men. Fire Chief Croker person
ally directed the work of rescue
Rescuers Were in Peril.
Lieut.. Campbell was overcome while at
the head Of rescuing party. He was
missed when. the party returned to the
street and another detachment had to
enter the building at great risk and save
him. He was revived with the many
others, on whom 4 big force of ambulance
surgeons worked like beavers on the
sidewalks.

after the flames were under control Stun

who had dropped in their tracks. Most
Of them were revived, but Edward Done
will may die as result of inhalation of
smoke and flame. There were similar
fears at first for Lieut.. George Tighe, but
il is now believed he Will recover. The
three-story building of the Union Distil-
lery Company, adjoining the burning
structure. was in danger for some time,
but determined work by the firemen saved
it.

Refuse to Pay Taxes.

The merchants are furthering the aims
of the delegates by refusing to pay the
stamp tax until the regent comes to their
way of thinking.
A presentation of the memorial is not
likely to call forth an early response. On
the contrary, it is expected Prince Chun
will delay his reply as long as possible.
1t is learned from the leaders OF the
movement that they do not intend to use
drastic measures because of the fear that
an anti-dynastic revolution would only
serve to bring the armies of foreign
powers into China.
