Amendment is lacked

WASHINGTON, ID. C., May l3.-By
sudden welding late today. of sup
posediy irrcconcilable factions the
senate. by a vote of SO TO 10, adopted
compromise amendment To the
railroad bill for the regulation of rela-
tive charges for long and short hauls.
The agreement was reported chiefly
for the reason that each faction APP
parently though 1t was getting the bet
ter of a shrewdly driven bargain.
Az adopted the new provision
strikes out OF section of the inter
state commerce law the words "unde:
Substantially similar conditions. ana
also eliminates the provisions of that
section and amends the section so rs
to make IL read as follows
"Se elton 4 That it shall be unlaw-
full for any common carrier subject

pcnsatiOn In the aggregate for the
transportation of passengers or OF
like kind of property for shorter

same line or route in the same direc-
ton"
OF the SO votes cast IN favor of the
amendment % were given by Repub-
lican senators who have opposed the
Insertion of any long and short haul
provision in the railroad bill; 10 by
Democrats and the remainder by Re
publicans, chiefly insurgents.
The negative vote was equally divid-
ed between Republicans and Demo
Gratis.
Picturing the political effect OF n
Illuminating defeat through the adop-
ton of an exclusively Democratic
amendment that would put the whole
question on mileage basis, the regu-
lar Republicans encountered little dir.
fculty in bringing a large majority
OF the senate TO their way of thinking.
A compromise, which finally was
adopted was put In the hands oi
Senator Smott. and in turn presented
10 Senator Dixon. who offered IL as a
modification OF his own amendment

EAST LAS VEGAS. n. NJ. May IL.
An uprising of serious proportions
has broken out among the Pueblo In
dams at Toas. 10 miles northwest,
and tonight troops are hurrying by
special trains from Santa Fe 10 check
a possible massacre of white ranchers.
The Indians have cut all telephone
and telegraph wires from Taos, but
reports indicate that the depredations
lave been confined to an attack on the
wife and children of l.. l.. Myers.
homesteader, the cutting Of fences and
the theft of horses and cattle.
Further attacks are feared by ranch
ers, and Judge John K. McFie, con-
quoting court at Taos, today issued
an urgent demand for troops to Gov
ernor Mills. He declared a massacre
was imminent The governor i'm
mdately ordered fifty men of the
rational guard, to Taos. The guards
men will reach Taos tomorrow morn
Jig.
General Brooks. in command of the
rational guard. has also ordered
another company at Santa Fe too be
in readiness to march at a moments
notice.
Cause of Trouble.
The uprising oil the Pueblos, who for
years have been peaceable, is believed
to have been caused by the punish
ment of Pueblos by territorial officers.
For years the Pueblos have governed
themselves, electing their own chiefs
and village councillors, who tried and
punished malefactors OF the tribe with
appeal to the territorial officers.
Several months ago an Indian of
lsletta. who had been imprisoned by
an Indian officer, appealed TO the ter
1itOrial courts and the Indian chief
and the councillors of the village were
put in jail. Since that time the In
dams have been unruly and ii is be-
lieved that the present outbreak is the
result of fear by the Pueblos that they
may lose their independence. For
several weeks ranchers near Taos
have found their fences cut and their
stock missing. The discomfort of the
Indians eliminated yesterday IN the
attack on the Myers household.
Don't Like Census Taking.
The taking of the census is also be-
lieved to have caused much unrest
among the Indians. When the enume
rators rachel Santo Domingo and
san Dia, the Indians refused ali in
formation concerning members of the
tribe and threatened the enumerators
with violence. 1t was only after the
census takers had>threatened to bring
troops and former Governor Curry had
gone personally TO the chiefs and reas-
sured them about the purpose of the
census, that the Indians were persuad-
ed to answer questions. Season east
ern artists are believed to be in or
near Taos, which was once the head
quarters of Kit Carson. making
sketches of Indian life. Taos is the
Oldest and most picturesque town of
the Pueblos-
