feated in the Senate today by a vote of

disposition of this amendment would
permit a final vote on the bill before adj
journment today.
By Inference, the Wisconsin senator
gave notice that he would undertake to
have members held to account for their

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June g
It is now too late for the government
to take any action towards extending
the scope of the injunction granted by
Judge Dyer at Hannibal, Mo-, so as to
cover other rates than those referred
to in the bill in equity filed by the de-
partment of justice against the Western
Trunk Line association. The govern
ment included in the bill such rates as
were called to it's attention and the fail
ure to embrace all the tariff advances
made by the association, it was said,
must be laid to the doors of the shippers.
Dispatches have come to Attorney
General Wickersham from western
points asking that the injunction already
granted be supplemented by another COW
ering certain specified tariffs. but the de-
partment is unable to comply with the
request.
