SITUATION RESEMBLES STORMY TIMES PRECEDING KILLING
 OF SENATOR CARMACk.
FUSIONISTS IN CONTROL
Solons Did Not Return to Their Posts Until They Were Sure of Their Grounds-Bitter Words Used
 by Warning Factions.

Nashville, Tenn-The fusionists, meaning the Republicans and the in dependent Democrats. are masters of the situation in Tennessee after an apparent surrender by entering the legislative halls. The Democratic partys failure to regain the election machinery, which has been almost within reach since April 12, means the possible loss of the state in the presi- dential election.
 The fusion members did not return to their posts until they were sure of their ground in the support of Mayor Crump of Memphis. a former regular, controlling the Shelby county delega- tion, and in the recovery of Represen- tatives Brown, Leiper and Farmer, Brownlow Republicans.
 Stormy Scers in Senate.
 The return of the filibustering mem bers was the signal of stormy scenes In the senate, the regulars out of re- venge slasning to pieces all legisla- tion that had been enacted for the benefit of Memphis. The bitterest speech was by Senate Houk, an un- comprom ising Brownlow Republican. lined up With the regular Democrats, who hurled defiance at the reform fu- sionists for making a deal with the Memphis whisky crowd"
 Bitter things were said on each side and the situation grows more threat ening each hour, resembling the stor- my times that antedated the killing of Senator Carmack and that followed that tragic period.

 ONE INDICTMENT.
A RIVAL BACKS CHARGES
crinoination in Behalf of Corpora 
 tion ubsidiary-ResuIt of h.
 vestigaton to Washington.

New York, N. Y.-The federal grand jury for the criminal branch of the United States circuit court has been conducting for several weeks a secret inquiry into the affairs of the United States Steel corporation, and It is said at least one indictment will be returned next week.
 The basis of the inquiry lies in the charges recently made by officers of the Alpha Portland Cement company against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. It was asserted the railroad company gave large rebates to the Universal Portland Cement company, which is owned by the Steel corporation, and which is the principal business rival of the Alpha. The proposed indict- ment, it is said, will be under the Hep burn anti-re batting statute.
 District Attorney Wise won't dis cuss the work of the grand jury, but 1t is know that body began its inves- tigation early in May. This corre- spends with the time that A. R. Mack ley, special examiner of the interstate commerce commission, began an in- quiry into the charges made by Fred erick II. Gerstell and Louis H. Porter. president and counsel, respectively, for the Alpha Portland Cement com pany of Manhein, w. Va. The com plaint charged the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company with unfair rate dis crimination and involves 1C0 other de- fendants. including all of the large railroad lines of the country
 At the first hearing of the com plaint Porter said:
 The United States Steel corpora ton practically dominates the rail roads of the country and its tremen- dous influence has enabled the Uni versal Portland Cement company of Pittsburg. company owned entirely by the Steel corporation, to obtain more favorable freight rates than can be obtained by its chief competitor and rival, the Alpha.
