LITTLE HOPE FOR ACTI0'

Washington, Feb. 25.--An extra ses
sion of Congress is certainty, accord
ing to all indications about the capito.
yesterday, With few exceptions, SEN
ators have given up hope of getting a
vote on the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, and if this vote is not reached
President Taft will undoubtedly call an
extra session. Most senators and repre-
sentatives expect it to begin about the
middle of March. The president has
been so emphatic in this matter that
he can hardly be expected to retreat
even in the face OF the strong pressure
which some of the Republican leaders
have said would be brought to bear upon
him.
Never, perhaps, within the memory of
any man now in Congress have things
been in more chaotic condition than
they are to.day-particularly in the
Senate The House, by the adoption of
a gag rule, is rushing through the appro-
priation bills, and win doubtless get
these out of the way. But the Senate
has an enormous mass OF business piled
up before it, and is showing no tendency
to dispose of ii, On the contrary, it il
clear that filibusters are out to prevent
votes on certain important measures,
and to throw them over to the next ses-
sion. These include the Lorimer case
the Canadian reciprocity agreement, the
direct election OF senators, the Sulloway
pension bill, and the permanent tariff
commission bill.
To this list might be added the jap
anese treaty, which has stirred up unex
pected opposition Moreover, unless the
amendment to the post Office appropria-
ton bill providing for increased postage
for the magazines be withdrawn, there
is not much doubt that this measure
viii be thrown over into an extra session
of Congress.
The situation in the Lorimer case is
peculiar. For weeks Senator Burrows
blocked vote, because it was apparent
that ii vote were had Lorimer would
be ousted. Now that the Lorimer sup.
porters in the Senate think they have
the votes to win and enable him to keep
his seat, the anti-Lorimer senator's are
showing disposition to hold back,
The situation as to reciprocity has
been further complicated by the adop-
ton in the Senate of the Cummins reso.
luton calling on the president for all
the information the tariff board has on
various schedules bearing on the Canadi.
an agreement.

PENSION BILL BLOCK.
Bailey Proposes to Kill the Sulloway
Measure.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Bailey
Of Texas, who, single-h handed and alone,
killed the bill creating the permanent
tariff commission, announced his pur-
pose in the Senate yesterday to put an
other House measure out OF commission
The Sulloway service pension bill, pro-
yiding appropriations aggregating $50,
100000, Is 70 encounter the opposition
OF the Texas senator, who announced
Yesterday that IL viii never pass the
Senate at this session.
Senator Scott of West Virginia gave
notice that he would bring up the Sui
lowav bill every day next week until
it was disposed of He told about the
old veterans dying at the rate Of one
minute and said he wished the Senate
would round out his twelve years ser
vice in the Senate by passing the service
bill
"Fifty.fve million dollars is little
too much to ask the American people
to pay to celebrate the departure Of the
West Virginia senator from the Senate,
declared Senator Bailey.
ut is not too much to pay those old
fellows who made 1t possible for the
senator from Texas to be here to-day"
replied Senator Scott. sit is not too
much when we contemplate what we
are spending on the Panama canal and
wasting in other directions"
"The senator forgets," observed SEN
ator Bailey, when he charges the gov
eminent with illiberality that we are
now spending annually Sl53,000.000 for
pensions and it is now proposed to add
S50,000,000 to that sum, making $780,
100000 annually. The sum we spent on
pensions last year is far greater than
that expended by any nation ON earth
for similar purpose and yet the Civil
war was concluded forty-four years ago"
Senator Scott said he hoped the SEN
ate would stand by him, whereupon Sen
ator Bailey remarked, Though | like

Most Effective and Harmless Way to
Cure Severe Cold and End All
Grippe Misery.

There is not one grain Of quinine in
Pape's Cold Compaund, which, when
taken every two hours, until three CON
secutive doses are taken, will surely end
the grippe and break up the most Sc

able neuralgia pains, headache, dullness,
head and nose stuffed up, feyerishness,
sneezing, sore throat, running Of the
nose, catarrhal affections, soreness, stiff
ness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is The result
of three years research at cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have con-
clusiyely demonstrated is not effective
in the treatment of colds or grippe

rected, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine made anywhere else
in the world which will cure your cold

RAILROADS TO
DISCUSS DECISION
General Meeting to Be Held In New
York Next Week to Consider
Matter.

New York, Feb 25.-The shippers vic
tory over eastern and western railroads
in Thursdays decision of the interstate
commerce commission forbidding in
creased freight rates was the axis about
which the financial world swung yester-
day, both here and abroad, and was re-
sponsible for period of Generalization
on the New York stock exchange.
Railroad heads continued to express
pessimistic views of the situation and
both here and in Chicago railroad Off
GERS, with their bankers and counsel,
discussed the situation and decided to
hold conference neA Monday.
At these meetings, It is understood,
plans will be made looking to an APP
peal to the new commerce court.
II was pointed out in some banking
quarters that the decision more clearly
Iefines the financial status and respon-
sibilities of the transportation com
panies, and throws light on certain le-
gal question which have heretofore been
more or less obscure 1t is possible that
some Of the smaller railroads may deem
1T necessary to enter upon program
{, OF retrenehment and economies, but this
it is believed, win not apply to the
more important lines.
There is authority for the statement
that the proposed extension and new
constructions on the Hartman lines, as
recently announced, will not be ADAM
doned. What effect, if any, the decision
may have upon proposed railway fnanc-
ing did not develop in the course Of the
day.
Pending Mondays meetings no official
action viii be taken BY the railroads
and even then the plans will be Of a pre-
liminary nature. It is pointed out that
the commission has not as yet issued
any order upon which an appeal can
be taken and it is understood the fight
will be opened with an attack on that
part of the Mann-Elkins law which gives
the commission power to suspend rates,

SENATOR cUMMINs PLEASED.
He Does Not Believe That Courts viii
0verturn Commissions Ruling.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Cum
minis of Iowa, who in the Senate led
the fight of the progressives to get the
railroad law so shaped as to put the
burden of proof OH the railroads that
proposed increases OF rates are justified,
a proposition which made the present
action OF the interstate commerce COM
mission possible expressed himself yes
terday as much gratified at the decisions
of the commission. He said the deci-
sions showed the wisdom OF the efforts
made by the progressiyes in Congress
last session to get the railroad measure
amended. Discussing the decisions SEN
ator Cummins said the railroads in his
opinion could not successfully appeal to
the courts from the decisions of the
commission.
"They would have to show coniisca-
ton of their property in order to get
the courts TO allow them to increase
their rates. Trey cannot do this said
Senator Cummins. "An examination of
the decisions shows that the roads ut.
terly failed to establish that their credit
was impaired. The railroads put their
case first upon the vast increase in the
value of their property, and have been
contending for years that they were en-
titled to returns on account Of that
"That is checked at the beginning by
the action of the commission The COM
missions decisions also end another
advanced by the railroads
and that is that il the expenses increase
despite the fact net earnings also in
crease, the roads are entitled to adj
vance rates"
