Overtures to Insurgents.

Some Of the regulars made overtures to
the insurgents today with view to
'estoring peace. The Speakers character
cations Of the insurgents figured in
the talk. The regulars urged the in
surgents'' to act conservatively and not
be fred by any informal utterances
INTO taking any radical steps. The coun-
sci was for peace, moderation and party
harmony.
Many Of the insurgents are receiving
kilograms from not only their constitu-
encies but from outside their districts, ex-

commentators. the insurgents" say.

,een flooded with kilograms. He says
al of them commended his action.
The insurgents who had voted to de.
:lare the speakership vacant were in a
pIbilant frame of mind. and their com.
nent was largely Of jocular kind.

1T is ridiculous for Cannon or any one

Il fought for a principle last week. and
refuse to throw away now the fruits of

Jain anything If we allowed the regulars

idiculous.
Il shall have to know just who the
men are that are going to be named be-

.OO0 men.
Practically all Of the insurgents were

ROADS ASK FOR
A DISSOLUTION
tRv Assoclared PresS.)


Washington, June "A number OF
important amendments to the railroad
bill were adopted by the senate to-
day. Among these was one by Sen
ator Overman of North Carolina,
prohibiting federal courts from grant
ing interlocutory injunctions to sus-
pend state laws, except upon an or
der of three judges, one of whom
should be a member of the supreme
court or a circuit judge. The provi.
sion, including telegraph companies
within the scope of interstate COM
merce law, was modified so as to pro-
hibit the granting of telegraph franks
and permitting special rates on press
dispatches. The time when the bill
shall take effect was extended to six
ty days after it's passage.
There was a general understanding
that final action on the bill would be
reached tomorrow but no agreement
to that effect could be obtained.
In the house an amendment was
adopted to the sundry civil bill, pro-
posed by Hughes of New Jersey, and
providing that an appropriation for
the enforcement of the Sherman anti
trust law should not be used in the
prosecution of labor organizations.

Washington, June 2.-Undaunted
by the governments proceeding ua
der the Sherman antitrust act, by
which a part of the proposed increase
of freight rates in theo territory west
of the Mississippi river was suspend
ed by Injunction, the railroads in the
east and in the middle west today
filed with the interstate commerce
commission tariffs embodylng IN
creased rates.
Attorney General Wickersham de-
clines to indicate what course will be
pursued in behalf of the government,
and the senate, just on the verge TO-
day of passing the administration
rate bill, hesitated and finally post
poned action until another day.
Tonight practically every railroad
system in the north, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, has filed with the
interstate commerce commissio the
legal notification of proposed increas-
es in commodity rates. The increases
filed today range from 3 to 81 per
cent.
On the roads in the middle west,
July 1 was the date fixed. Before

ing kilograms from shippers asking
him to take action to have the ia
junction, issued by the federal court
in Missouri, extended to other COM
modities, especially wool.
Replies were made that it was now
too late. 1t was explained that the
government included in the bill such
rates as had been called to it's at
tention and that the failure of other
rates to be included must be laid at
the door of shippers.
The railroad bill in it's present form
gives the interstate commerce COM
mission the power to Investigate the
reasonableness of proposed increases
in rates and to suspend their going
into operation as long as ten months.
Unless the railroads had put their
new rates into operation by the time
the bill becomes a law, the interstate
commerce commission might suspend
their operation for purposes of inves-
tigatioo. In this way the same result
might be accomplished as was sought
in the legal proceedings by the de-
partment of justice against the roads
west of the Mississippi.

the proverbial 80 cents during the

There are at the present time about

Taxicabs have come to Mexico to
stay. They are proving very popular
and the business of the hack drivers
has been seriously crippled.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 2.-That grand
jury questioning, concerning the Fish
bill which failed to pass the 46th gen.
eral assembly, will be productive OF
more important results than have
developed since the legislative in
quiry began, is the expectation today
of States Attorney Burke of Sanga-
man county.
Mr.. Burke said that he has the name
of a certain fish dealer who is de-
clared to have said in the presence
of witnesses that he gave $5oo TO the
fund to kill the bill, naming the man
to whom he paid it. That man is to
be subpoenaed. Other information In
the hands of Mr.. Burke is that a GER
tain man interested sent telegram to
another interested person who was
then out of the state, that his share
needed to insure the defeat of the
bill would be $500.
The bill provided for the licensing
of fishermen, the amount OF license
depending upon the number and char
acter of the nets used. Mr.. Burke
has been informed that one man fig
ured that under the licensing bill he
would be obliged to pay 5000 to con-
tinue in business and accordingly he
contributed $500 to avoid the payment
of a larger sum if the bill passed.
Mr.. Burke said he had been given
the name of a legislatod who was
given between $4,000 and $500 COL
lected to defeat the bill, and who fail
ed to turn the money over to the
