NEW BRIDGE IS
HIT BY;;STEAMER
Fair Oaks Crashes Into New
Railroad Bridge Early
This Morning

The new Oregon Washington Rail
road e. Navigation company bridge
across the Chehalis river, was put
out of commission at o'clock this
morning and the west side on the
north channel wrecked, when the
steamer Fair Oaks collided with the
structure.
According to eye witnesses, the
err was within ships length of the
draw.
The Fair Oaks had whistled for the
bridge about the same time as the
steamer Manette, the Fair Oaks COM
ing up stream with strong flood
tide and the Manette going towards
the lower harbor. The steamers eX-
changed signals, the Manette pass
ing through the south draw and the
Fair Oaks taking the north opening
Evidently the bridge tender failed to
see the Fair Oaks and when the ship
was nearly to the draw, it was swung
right in the steamers path, and with
d crash that could be heard for blocks
the steamer struck the structure. The
collision caused the south end of the
bridge to tip into the water, and the
bridge for few moments swayed
like a rocking chair. Eye witnesses
thought that the bridge would topple
off the pier and go into the river but
it regained it's balance. Captain Ha-
gen. as soon as he saw the danger,
reversed his engines and sounded sew
eral blasts, but the strong tide car
ried the steamer into the walk, and
the ripping of wood and bending of
steel was deafening to those on the
craft.
The damage to the bridge cannot
be estimated at this time.
The collision was sufficient to dam
age the machinery and the struc-
ture could not be moved. The Ma
nette then attempted to tow the
bridge open, but after moving it u
feet. had to abandon the work
The west walk for a distance of
% feet is completely demolished, the
steel rails being bent out of shape
A crew OF men are at work on the
machinery to ascertain the amount
of damages,
The injuries to the Fair Oaks are
thought slight, the stem being crush
ed and other slight breakages. The
steamer was stopped still when it
struck the draw and Captain Hagen
backed his boat away.

ONLY A FIIIBUSTER
Will Prevent a Victory For Illinois
Senator.

Washington. ID. c.. Feb. 24-The
case involving the right of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois to retain his seat
was advanced today to a position
where the senate must filibuster or
vote upon it.
At the conclusion of a three DAYS
speech by Beveridge, the leader of the
anti-Lorimer forces. Chairman Bur
rows of the committee on privileges
and elections. made several Intellectual
attempts to have a date fixed for a
vote on the case. He suggested days
as far in advance as March 1. only
two days prior to the legislative day
on which the Sixty first congress will
expire by constitutional limitation. BY
a vote of the senate the resolution
on the LOrimer case was made the
unfinished business.
All opposition for setting a time for
vote came from senators who have
announced that they intended to vote
to deprive Senator Lorimer of his
seat
Notice of future speeches in oppo-
sition to Senator LOrimer were given
by Senators Stone. LaFollette. Owen
and Crawford All are anti-Lorimer.

RAILWAYS UNHURT.
Comment of the Commission on the
Decision.

Washington. Feb. 24.-Officials Of
the Interstate commerce commission
observed with keen interest today the
results and comments on the decision
in the railroad rate cases. Some
doubt was expressed by those in ana
about the commission who have been
most familiar with these cases as to
the roads taking any further action
in the matter. such as appealing from
the commissions decision to the new
" inaugurated court of commerce.
The fact that the decision was
unanimous in all the cases was be-
lieved to justify the opinion that the
railways would prefer perhaps, to
make a new application to the COM
mission on a new record of testimony.
There was a disposition at the Of
fices of the commission to comment
on the fluctuations in the stock mar
ket as indicating a misapprehension
of the scope and effect of the COM
missions decision. Stress was laid on
the fact that no reductions whatever
in rates were ordered by the COM
mission. that the rates remained in
the so-called official classification
territory as they have been for more
than twenty years.
II also was pointed out that the
railway stocks affected most seriously
were those of lines that in no respect

GOVERNMENT WILL CONTROL
If Senators Are to Be
Elected by Popular Vote
The Lorimer Case and
Bill for Increased Post
age on Magazines.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. Eth less
than an hour the senate late today
voted the Sutherland amendment into
the resolution providing for the cleo
ton of United States senators by di-
rect vote Of the people, fixed next
Tuesday as the time for voting on
the resolution itself. made the case
involving Senator LOrimer's seat the
unfinished business and received the
Canadian reciprocity bill from the
committee on finance.
In addition there was much dis
cussion of the order of business. Sew
eral speeches We're arranged, and Sen
ator PenrOse gave notice that on
Monday he would ask the senate TO
consider the postoffice Appropriation
bill which includes the provision in
creasing the postage on the advertis-
ing portions Of magazines.
No sooner had Senator Beveridge
concluded his speech in opposition TO
Senator Lorimer than almost a dozen
senators began "jOckeying'' for posi-
tions. Senator Hale asked that the
unfinished business be laid before the
StidtF mere WIS TIE EtSplullou pro-
viding for a constitutional amend
ment for the election of United States
senators by popular vote and the res
Olution was taken up.
Almost before the senators had time
To realize what was taking place, the
vice president directed the roll call
on the amendment offered by Senator
Sutherland, eliminating so much of
the amendment as takes from con-
greSs the right to supervise senatorial
elections The vote resulted in favor
of the amendment, 80 TO 81
Mr.. Burrows scored an advantage
for the Lorimer resolution by having
the Lorimer matter made the unfin-
ished business in place of the cleo
tons resolution which was made a
special order. After agreeing to a
notice from Mr. Penrose that the
pOstoffice bill should be taken up on
Monday the senate went into execu-
tive session to consider the japanese

PRESIDENT LovETT's COMMENT.

Los Angeles. Feb. 24.-"The deci-
sion announced yesterday is bound to
have a depressing effect" said Pres
ident LOvett discussing the interstate
commerce commission decision. The
railroads will be hampered in raising
money. but perhaps they may regain
the confidence of capital" he added
somewhat optimistically.
We have kept pace with develop
ment so far. and intend to continue
doing so as long as we can, regard
less of temporary disturbances OF any
kind. 1t is impossible for the rail-
roads to stand still ] believe in the
ultimate judgement of the people and
that in the end railroad investments
will be treated just as other invest
ments. our large program Of i'm
provements includes all we consider
necessary to maintain high standard
of efficiency We will await the de
velopment of what might be regarded
as luXuries until a more propitious
season.
We have spent fabulous sums in
the past. despite the handicaps put on
the railroads by adverse legislation
and the restricting of our rights to
earn a fair return on legitimate eX-
penditures.'

NO RECIPROCITY
At THIS SESSION
BILL REPORTED WITHOUT REC
CONCENTRATION.
Notice Was erved That II Must Take
Its Course.

Washington. Feb. Equipments of
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
attempted To- put quietus on legis-
lation on the subject when the Nc
Cali bill late today was reported
without recommendation from the
senate committee on finance. So far
as the present session of congress is
concerned, they took long step to-
ward accomplishing their purpose.
The return of the bill TO the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows of the
finance committee was made the &C
casion for brief speeches both in OPP
position and in favor of early action.
As only a few days remain to put the
bill through hostile body. the
speeches against it were accepted
generally as it's death knell. until a
resurrection should come in an extra
session.
Senator Hale, who will retire ON
March 4. said the committee had
Yielded to public clamor and had re-
ported il against the real sentiment
of large majority of the committee
He served notice that the bill would
have to go to the calendar to take
its course. and any effort on the part
of any one of whatever authority
ito drive" the senate would be an
unwa rranted assumption of power.
Senator Bailey of Texas. democratic
member of the committee. expressed
the opinion that the best interests
of the agriculturists would be served
by the defeat of the hill. In pointing
out some of the determinations from
his point of view, the Texas senator
said that while the agreement ad-
mitted wheat and cattle free. 1t re.

It JARRED
THE ROADS
The Late Interstate Com

AN APPEAL TO Be TAKEN
Among the Announcements
is One Gratifying to Ari-
IONA, That the Southern
Pacific Extension Plans
Will Not Be Disturbed.

New York, Feb. 24.-The shippers
victory over the eastern and western
railroads i'm yesterdays decision of
the interstate commerce commission
enjoining increased freight rates was
the axis about which the financial
world swung today. both here and
abroad, and was responsible for a
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 Of
ficials. together with their bankers
and counsel, discussed the situation
and decided To hold conference on
Monday. At these meetings ii is un-
derstood plans will be made for an
appeal To the new commerce court.
Because of the difference in time.
the market here had ample warning
from London of the effect OF the de-
cision The prices of the American
issues declined from To 20 points
before the opening in New York, and
during the day i'm London il is esti-
mated that the selling movement Of
Americans reached 100000 shares, the
greater amount of which was for the
New York account.
The trading is said To be the heav-
lest of any session in London since
the so-caIled Venezuelan panic of
1895. and, according To private cable
advices. such issues as Reading.
Union Pacific and United States Steel
were almost without takers even at
marked recessions.
In this city the opening features
were Steel. Reading and Union Pa
cific. which came out in initial blocks
of 10000. 10000 and 5000 share lots.
respectively. at declines that ranged
from 65s in Reading to AZ in Steel.
Many other issues suffered greater
losses. among them some standard
dividend payers.
The early slump was followed by
concerted support. which appeared to
come from the most powerful factors.
and the market then became duh and
partly stronger. 1t was not until the
final hour. however, that the list made
its greatest Roadway toward improve
ment, and closing prices were from
to 3 points above the days low
level.
Various expressions of opinion on
the decision were uttered by the
heads of the railroads. most of whom
sought to place most unfavorable
Interpretation on the outcome.
There is authority for the state
ment that the proposed extensions
and new constructions on the Harri-
man lines as recently announced will
not be abandoned What effect. if
any. the decision may have upon pro-
posed railroad financing did not de-
veIop in the course of the day.
Pending Mondays meeting, no Of
fetal action will be taken by the
railroads. 1t is pointed out that the
commission has not yet issued any
order upon which an appeal can be
taken, and it is understood that the
fight will be opened with an attack
on that part of the Mann Elkins bill
which gives the commission power to
suspend rates.
