to devour It. But they soon caught up
with him and he shot another. which

CUMMINGS WILLING
TO GIVE UP ALL

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-That he
would oppose the administration rail-
road bill even though it might re-
suit in an effort to read him out of
the party, Senator Cummins of Iowa,
in effect, declared in the senate today.
in the initial speech on the railroad
bill. He commented especially upon
the history of the measure, which he
said had originated in the executive
branch Of the government rather than
in congress-.
After occupying its place on the sem
ate calendar for 1S days the bill was
taken up at 2 o'clock, and thus was
launched the discussion of what the
members of the senate regard as the
most important legislation before con-
gress. The Iowa senator had spoken
about two hours when he asked leave
to suspend until tomorrow.
The leave was granted, but Senator
Hale, chairman of the republican eau
Gus, gave notice that hereafter the bill
would be kept constantly before the
senate. In language just as positive,
Mr.. Bailey declared that the bill could
not be rushed and declared that con-
gress was liable still to be consider
ing it when the dog days" arrived.

ROOSEVELT LOOKS
UPON BATTLEFIELD

KHARTOUM, March 15-Colonel
Roosevelt's second day in .Khartum
was given up largely to sightseeing.
The most interesting place of all to
the former president was the battle
field Of Kerreri, which lies seven miles
north Of Omdurman. 1t was here that
the advance of the Anglo Egyptian
army under Sir Herbert Kitchener
was contested by the Khaliff and 49,
900 men and it was here that the
bodies of 1900 dead dervishes were
counted the following day.
Colonel Roosevelt, accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Ker-
nit, Slatin Pacha, inspector general
Of Egypt, Major Wilson, governor of
Knartum, Prince Auerspert, Mrs. AS
ser, an intimate friend Of Mrs. Roose-
welt, and others went to Omdurman
on the sirdar's yacht, ElFin, and from
there on camels to the scene Of the
great battle Of September 2. 1898.
Roosevelt Is Interested.
An escort Of Sudanese cavalry was
waiting when the yacht came to her
dock and Colonel Roosevelt immedi-
ately became interested in the horse
men who were picturesquely attired.
He inspected the squad and then the
party mounted camels preparatory to
the seven mile trip over dusty roads.
Innumerable cameras were focused on
the Americans, who seemed to enjoy
their unusual experience no less than
did the crowds who had gathered and
who cheered the former president as
he mounted a ship Of the desert"

airy escort in front and in the rear

Negotiations
Are F1uitleSS

PHILADELPHIA, Mar: 15.-"The
conferences with George H. Earle
have not resulted in any plan or sug-
gestion for the settlement of the car
mems strike and negotiations are
therefore to be considered ended" was
the official statement issued tonight
by the general strike committee of
ten.
President E. E. Greenwa,t of the
State Federation of Labor tonight is
sued a call to labor unions Of the state
to take a general strike vote and hold
themselves in readiness to respond to
a call for the state wide sympathetic
strike authorized by the recent con-
vention of the state federation at New
Castle.
There was no change in the general
strike situation today
While there was a number of de-
sertions in the strikers ranks these,
it was stated by the labor leaders were
more than counterbalanced by &C
cessions to the ranks of the strikers.
Position is Not Changed.
At the conclusion of the conference,
Mr.. Earle who is the city's represent
alive on the traction company direc-
torate, said:
"Nobody's position has been chang
ed. nor is there present prospect of
settlement This discussion, however,
was carried on in the very best spirit
and 1 think each side now fully ap-
preciates the position of the other.
The union wanted all the men not
only taken back, but given their for
mer runs. Mr.. Kruger stated as def
nitely as he could yesterday that this
would involve a breach Of faith with
the men who had remained with the
company and the company would new
er agree to the demand"
w. ID. Mahon, president of the
Anna gamated Association, VINO repre-
scented the carmen at today's confer
ence. it is said. insisted upon the re-
employment of all striking car men.
Car Service is Improving.
The company maintains its service
is growing better daily. More cars
were operated today than on any 9TH
er day since the strike began.
There was a number of accidents,
in one of which an unidentified wo-
man was struck by car and instant
ly killed.
Officials of the transit company ex-
pressed their displeasure at Director
Earle for placing President Kruger
in a position of treating with the stri-
king motormen and conductors. A

There are two obstacles IN the way

but ] protest that he should again be
betrayed by a kiss.
81 am unwilling to contribute to the
establishment Of a central bank either
directly or indirectly. We once had a
bank of the United States vested with
the power of issuing notes, but not
vested with a. monopoly upon that is
sue, and, sir, that institution dominated
the finances of the country, debauched
Legislation, and threatened the liber-
ties of our people. But that institution
could not compare with the power of
the one now in contemplation. desire
upon the very threshold to protest
against this measure, and to protest
against every other measure which
has, directly or indirectly, for its mo-
tive Or it's object, the creation Of a
central bank which will be crowned as
the financial dictator and despot Of
this republic.
Il cannot vote for this measure,
since it has been converted from a
buckler for the protection of the peo-
pie into a guillotine for their destruc-
tion."
Since Senator Cores speech, and
since the passage of the postal bank
bill by the senate, the belief has be-
come general in Washington that the
measure Is to be subjected to further
jugglery to suit Senator Aldrich.
Changes satisfactory to Wall street, it
is predicted, will be made either in the
house or in conference Otherwise the
bill will probably not become law at
