Washington, May 14.-By sudden
Welding, late yesterday, OF supposedly
irreconciliable factions, the senate, by
a vote of Sc to 10, adopted compro-
mise amendment to the railroad Dill,
for regulation relative to charges for
long and short hauls. Of the Sc votes
in favor of the amendment, twenty
two were given by republican sena-
tors, who have opposed the insertion
of any long and short haul provision;
IS by democrats, and the remainder
by republicans, chiefly insurgents.
The negative vote was equally di-
vided between republicans and demo
Gratis.
The, agreement was reached chiefly
for the reason that each faction APP
parently thought it was getting the
better of a shrewdly driven bargain
Many senators last night suggested
that the supreme court may have to
arbitrate the question as to which fac
TONS judgment is right.
While a dozen amendments were
submitted the pending one was Mr..
Heyburn's for which Mr.. Dixon pre-
sented a substitute. The regular re-
publicans had been boasting for days
that they had clear majority to de-
feat all amendments and felt that
they could defeat the Dixon amend
nent, even though supported by in
surgents, some regulars from the in
ter-mountain sections and a. majority
of the democrats.
Just before the time to vote Mr..
Elkins and Mr.. Aldrich learned that

ing against the Dixon amendment
proposed later to support one by Mr..
Overman, the effect of which would
be to place all rates on a mileage ba-
sis. Such a provision is particularly
obnoxious to the opponents of the
long and short haul provision and
they were unable, in hasty poll, to
show majority against the Over
man amendment

MARINETTE BULL FROG

residents of other portions of the
country but this city has solved the
problem once for all. The large
juicy hind quarters of Wisconsin bull
frogs are covering all shortages nice
ly and are being served in all man

The amount of meat contained in
the rear quarters of a Wisconsin bull
frog can hardly be appreciated until
tried. However it can be appreciate
ed by the unintiated when it is
learned that a common sized Mari

alive a Florida alligator.
The alligator was brought to the
city by Attorney P A Martineau aft

1t was placed in a large aquarium in
the court at the residence of F. j.

long lorded it over the denizens of

KIEV HEBREWS
TO Be EXPELLED
AFTER DELAY AND INFESTIGA-
TON RUSSIAN ORDER TO
BE ENFORCED.

Kiev, Russia, May 14.-EXpulsion OF
Jews residing in Kiev illegally will
be resumed today. In some instances
a DELAY has been granted to permit
settlement of their affairs, but all OF
those marked for expulsion must
leave the city before June a.
The, order was issued as result
of an agitation which began in the
duma and originally provided that the
expulsion take place April %. This
order was suspended by Premier
Stolypin to permit a further examin-
alton of Jewish claims of residence.
The order applied to other cities and
towns in which Jews are living with
out the pale and local commissions
Were appointed to revise the list OF
those affected, with the expectation
that a large proportion would be al
lowed to remain undisturbed. The
Kiev commission has considered about
l 900 cases, of which $50 have been
found to be subject to expulsion The
governor general has reviewed the Ge-
cisions of the commission and con-
firmed the expulsion of 700 of those
listed.
The order of expulsion just made
effective will apply not only to Kiev
but to all the central provinces of
Russia. Formerly the Jews were rig
orously excluded from this territory
but Industrial centers within the for
hidden territory, especially Moscow,
Kiev, Nijni-Novorod, st. Petersburg
and Tifis, have seen large Hebrew
colonies develop within their borders
The government recently became
alarmed over the growth in CONNER
cial and political influence OF these
scattered settlements and decided on
the strict enforcement of the original
segregation law, which restricts the
territory habitable by Jews to the
Polish provinces and Little Russia
The number of Jews within this pale
is estimated at 100000. The num-
Der without the pale is said to be less
than 100000. Students undergoing
training at the great universities are
exempt from expulsion from the re.
stricted zone. Parents of students
come under the same exemption, as
90 established merchants belonging
TO one of the great industrial guilds.
Descendants of soldiers who served
under Nicholas l. also enjoy this free
dom of residence, as do members of
learned societies and Jews of other
than Russian nationality.

lures from the regular republicans,
who offered compromise in the form
of a portion of the original Dixon

Picturing the political effect of a

ton of an exclusively democratic
amendment, the regular republicans
encountered little difficulty in bring

their way of thinking The compro-
mise, which finally was adopted, was
put in the hands of Mr.. Smoot, and
in turn presented to Mr. Dixon who
offered it as a modification of mis-

On every side were cries that the
