Senate Pfoglesslyes Amend the
Railroad Measure

Washington, May 28.-Interstate tel.
egraph and telephone companies were
suddenly popped under control Of the
interstate commerce commission by a
viva voce vote of the senate, almost
without debate, and before some of the
bewildered senators fully understood
the exact Importance Of the amend
ment that was being placed in the rail
road bill. The adoption Of the propo
sition by the senate makes it certain
that in future telegraph and telephone
companies that cross state lines will
be compelled to conform to the inter.
state commerce act, as similar pro
vision is in the railroad bill as passed
by the house. Thus the amendment
cannot be dropped in conference, al
though It will have to be modified, a.
the senate and house provisions are
not Identical.

that once paid tribute to Great Britain
the American statesman gave the

and establish order there. II it was
not right she should set. out. 7:

Mr.. Roosevelt denounced the Nation

murderous chaos upon the land.
Either it was or was not right for
Great Britain to be in Egypt and es-
tablish order throughout that country.
If it was not right to further this
purpose then the British should get
out. Some nation, said the former
president must govern Egypt. He
hoped that the English would decide
that the duty was theirs. ~
As whole the speech constituted
the most forcible expression on for
