OF the SO votes in favor of the amend
ment. % were given by Republican
ton of any long and short haul provi-
sion in the railroad bill, 10 by Demo-
Gratis and the rest by Republicans,
chiefly insurgents The negative vote
was equally divided between Repub-
licans and Democrats
The senators who voted in favor of

Aldrich, Bacon. Beverage. Bradley.

The Senate under unanimous con-
sent agreement began voting at
O'Clock upon the long and short haul
amendments, of which a dozen or more
had been submitted The pending
amendment was one by Senator Hey
burn OF Idaho, for which Senator Dixon
of Montana had presented a substitute
The effect of this was to give the Non

publicans had been boasting they had

regulars had been assured of number

The hour of 4:30 found the work still
incomplete Mr.. Dixon demanded an
other recess until s; but protests were
made by so many senators that he
claimed IL only after a roll call, which
consumed nearly ten minutes of the
precious half hour.
The general conference of the recess
hour resulted in the restor alton of the
words of the Dixon amendment, which
Senator Dixon had agreed to eliminate
These provided that in making excep-
ttons under the long and short haul
clause the interstate commerce COM
mission shall satisfy itself that all the
rates involved are just and reasonable.
Iinheoiateiy upon the senate being
again called to order, Mr.. Dixon pre-
sented the compromise. Senator hey-
burn interposed a point of order that
the now amendment was not in order
under the unanimous consent agree
ment which he claimed, contemplated
vote only upon matters pending 81
the time the agreement was made.
This led to a wrangle, but Vice Pres
1dent sherman finally ovcrruled the
point of order and a vote was taken
in favor of the compromise amend
ment.
After the vote several senators saiG
opponents of the long and short haul
amendment had been compelled TO &C
cept a provision which they mad de-
nounced as revolutionary. Mr.. Baron
openly tainted Mr.. Aldrich with being
his prestige and prevent an appearance
of defeat.

age that He laughs best who laughs

Mr.. Bacon promptly Interpreted this
as a confession Mr. Aldrich was count
ing upon having the provision stricken
out in conference.

can be defended on the principles I
have been advocating" replied the sen
ator from Rhode Island blandly

were rushed to the scene of the eXplo-
sion Immediately after the heavy de-
tOnation came to the ears OF the Kio
Grande Western and O. ;. L. Officials
Knowing the position of the car, they
were convinced that it had caused
heavy damage. Apparatus for filllng IN
gaps and laying new steel was dashed
to Beck's Hot Springs even before the
telephone message came in announcing
the extent of the damage AT o'clock
last night all the tracks had been re-
paired, ard the powder in the second
ear, which did not explode. was carted
to one of the powder houses of the
Western Powder company, to which the
dynamite had been consigned by the
Giant Powder company of Giant Cal.
The car that caught fire and exploded
arrived at the Beck's Hot Springs sid
ing two days ago. Arrangements had
been made to unload its contents either
today or tomorrow and have II stored
in the powder magazines OF the west
ern Powder company, which for years
has supplied mining camps north OF
Salt Lake with powder in various guam
titles. 1t has always supplied the Jones
lime quarrieS, Immediately east OF
Beck's Hot Springs, with large Quanu-
ties of dynamite.
Members of the Beck street settle
ment, most of whom own considerable
land in the neighborhood of Beck's Hot
Springs, began protests against the
practice of siding powder cars so close
to their homes, yesterday. These pro
tests will be carried up to railroad OF
ficials, and If they will not give the
matter their immediate attention. Beck
street folk will lay their complaints
before the county attorney
IF 1 remember the law, said Mr.
Hunter of Beck street yesterday after
noon, "all railroads that place cars con-
tanning high explosives on Sidings must
have them guarded night and day by
special watchmen. To my knowledge
there has been no Waterman near the
car since il was switched into the sid
ing two days ago. There was not even
a danger sign on the car, and IL was
only by natural inquisitiveness of peo-
pie Of the Beck street settlement that
we knew ii to contain about Is tons
of dynamite. Had the car taken fire at
night and exploded, the chances are
that there would have been much sor-
row and many funerals in Beck street"
Though the material damage to the
high tension power lines of the Utah
Light & Railway company, which were
cut in twain by the explosion, was
not extensive, it caused general in
convenience. The wires lead from the
Bear River and Ogden Canyon power
stations, the main sources of electric
current supply for Salt Lake. At noon
yesterday every division of Salt-L.ake
was being supplied with electricity ,di-
rect from those stations. and when the
wires were cut the entire street rail-
