Washington, May 1O.-The house
this afternoon adopted the railroad
regulation bill by a vote of 200 to 1876.
Representative Mann of Illinois, Of
fered an amendment reestablishing the
clause permitting railroads to merge
under certain dDnditions. but it was
defeated 16S to 16O. Adamson moved
to recommit the bill with instructions
to eliminate the court of commerce
clause. but it likewise was defeated.
Washington, May 10.-The admin
istration railroad bill was .oday re-
ported from the house, as a commit
tee of the whole, for a final vote.
This marks the beginning of the end
OF the fight on the measure in the
house. Leaders declare it is likely
only a few changes in the bills form
as reported today, will be made. Only
the battered remains of the original
was left when it was reported for
votes. President Taft seemed satis-
fled. He said: Il am not familiar
with the condition of the bill in the
house as in the senate, but l think
possibly the bill hasn't been emascu-
lated I'M either house, and that 1t con-
tains all of the remedial features of
the original, and that the things omit
ted are neither substantial nor vital"
The sharpest skirmish is likely to
come up in the final stages of the
fight over the long and short haul
clause. The clause provides that the
railroad must not charge more for a
short haul than for long one, over
the same line. The administrationists
do not favor this amendment. Tafts
speech at Passaic last night when he
gave his virtual approval of the
hacked bill is being quoted by the in
surgents as presidential endorse
ment of their action.

Sensation In Norway.

Christiana, May 10.-Mr.- Roose-
velt's visit here has been followed by
an incident which is making a sensa-
tion in Norway
Mr.. Roosevelt severely censured
ex-Premier Gunnar Knudsen, who
is now vice president of the par
lament for using his name and quot
ing him as a partisan in Norwegian
politics. The ex-premier has been
making a campaign and introduced
q bill in parliament for the conser-
walton of natural resources, chiefly
the water power and the opposition
party has been fighting this scheme
as an infringement on personal rights
At the recent gala dinner at the
castle Mr.. Knudsen had a conversa-
tion with Mr.. Roosevelt on this SUBJ
ject. The latter in the belief that he
was speaking of general principles,
expressed warm sympathy In the
work. Mr.. Knudsen asked permission
to make the former presidents re-
marks public.
'Tell II to anyone you like" Mr..
Roosevelt replied enthusiastically.
There was a considerable stir when
the newspapers appeared quoting Mr..
Roosevelt as warm supporter of
Knudsen's policies. Mr.. Roosevelt
summoned Knudsen and insisted en-
phatically that he issue a denial and
he himself issued a letter to the same
effect The OPPOSITION papers are now
attacking the ex-premier.
The Aftenposten says:
From the denial which Mr.. Gum
mar Knudsen was compelled by Mr..
Roosevelt to make it appears that at
the conversation in question Mr..
Roosevelt was thinking of his own
American policy. while Mr.. Knudsen
was speaking of his Norwegian pol
icy. We will not dwell upon the want
of discretion shown by Mr.. Knudsen
In trying to involve a guest of the ma
ton in our internal political disputes
and trying to turn him to political
account.
This want of discretion rightly
aroused a great indignation. 1t is an
absolutely unprecedented phenomen-
on that a man holding a position like
Theodore Roosevelt does, should dur
Ing the visit he pays us be compelled
to issue a denial of what the late pre-
mler stated regarding his conversa-
tion with him
