Washington, April 14.-The presi-
dent was today requested to send to
congress any facts in his possession
which might make inadvisable an in
vestigation of the sugar trust frauds,
unless, in his judgment, such might
be incompatible with the interests OF
public service.
A speech by Rainey, Of Illinois, re.
garding the sugar trust and charging
that Wickersham and Henry w. Taft,
brother of the president, had certain
legal connection with the trust, at
tracted considerable attention.
Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, an.
nounced that the secretary of war had
sent to the committee on expenditures
various information concerning the
sale of the friar lands in the Philip
pines, which he laid before the house.
Mann, of Illinois, concluded the
opening speech on the railroad bill,
and Adamson, of Georgia, spoke in op-
position to the measure. After de-
voting two hours to the railroad bill
the senate laid aside the measure until
Monday. The only amendment adopt
ed was prohibiting the interstate
commerce commission from exercis-
ing jurisdiction over routes which are
entirely by water. The senate passed
the Warren bill authorizing the Civ
ernent to dispose of surplus irrigation
water.

WAR MADE UPON
RAILROAD men
Dy Associated Press.

Monterey. Mex, April 14.-War upon
American railroad men in this country
has been resumed by the native en-
ployes of the railroad companies.
These natives claim they are discrimi-
mated against and that foreigners fill
the more important positions to the
detriment and injury generally of the
Mexican railroad workers.
The native unions have appointed a
committee of sixty to go to the City
of Mexico and present their grievances
to President Diaz. They think it thus
possible to dislodge the American and
other foreigners employed in the rail
way service. A number of the Mex
lean newspapers are espousing the
cause of their countrymen, and pub
fishing exciting reports of alleged mis-
treatment of the Mexican employees by
their alien superiors.

Jackson, Miss, April 14.-By the
margin of one vote short of the two
. thirds majority, twenty-eight to fif-

resolution to expeI Senator Bilbo, who
says he accepted a bribe to change
his vote from Vardaman to Percy

been investigating the charge of Bill
