Washington, June 11.-By n vote OF
n to "a the senate adopted the con
ference bill report on the army ap-
preparation bill. 1t mobiles radically
the law applicable to the army and Is
regarded as most obnoxious by the
friends Of the administration and the
army. The vote was absolutely non
partisan, fourteen Republicans and
thirteen Democrats voting for the re-
port and eleven Republicans and thir-
teen Democrats against it
The amendments to the conference

greater part Of the discussion, provid-
ell that after March 4 next no officer
of the army who has not had ten
years service In the line before be-
coming a general officer shall be eligi-

Movement to Advance Freight
Rates Is Behind Upward Trend
in Stock Market.
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.


New York. April 2L-Another broad
movement to advance freight rates has
been started. The locomotive engineers
are responsible for It. These men are
demanding higher wages and the only
way the roads can get the money is by
advancing rates. They are willing 70
grant the demands OF the men II rates
are raised. and it is believed that the
full force Of organized labor win be be-
hind the roads in the new application
to be made IN the not distant future. That
is the handspring back Of the present
upward movement in the stock mar
ket.
An issues were firm to-day and many
were buoyant- Several new high records
were made by standard stocks, as well
as by specialties. The list Of record
breakers for the day contains such as
New York Central. Canadian Pacific.
American Can. Beet Sugar, Wabash
bonds, Mexican Petroleum. Pacific Tele-
phone and Quicksilver. Such a list
should satisfy the most fastidious- There
was meaning IN every one Of these rec
ords, and the market was not one OF
mere speculative chance.
Professionals were busy circulating a
report that the Union Pacific dividend
would be cut, but In Official quarters
worried a great deal about some heavy
sales Of United States Steel early In the
day. In official quarters II. was stated
that The dividend on Steel is not in dan
ger Business was not bad in the first
quarter and Is distinctly better now. The
mills are so full that the buyers have
lost their mastery OF the situation Prices
Of the products are quietly hardening.
Nobody worries about tariff reform any
rv,nra Ia affffrrda &c lruouyva and
Roosevelt is even more friendly to the
interests than Taft The present Con-
gress has also taught the interests not
to fear it.
Grain hung around high prices. but the
floods in the Middle West worked lower.
Most Of the worry about the late spring
and the carly frosts that may come next
autumn is in the minds Of the grain pool
operators in Chicago.
Certain of Advance.
The question Of advancing freight rates
IS being gone into seriously for the first
time since the roads were turned down
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
two years ago. II has become evident
that the roads have economized TO the
limit. The fallacies Of the extreme theo-
ries of scientific management have been
exposed. Everybody can see that the
country needs better facilities for trans |
portation. The matter is to be taken up |
in such a way as TO make It a nonparts- |
san issue and the roads confidently ex-
pect TO gain the advance by The middle |
OF November at the latest In the mean
time they cannot advance wages mate
rally. Congressman Levy did splendid /
work by getting the engineers to accept
arbitration.
One sign of returning confidence was
seen in the quotation OF S. for wabash
per cent bonds. Tney have not sold that |
high for two years. The price shows /
that the reorganization COMMITTEES as now
organized Is making progress. Some very |
conservative banks are taking these
bonds to-day even at the high price.
