WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. Senator Elkins
The opooncnts of the omnibus state
hood bill havo two alternatives, now
that Senator Quay has proved that he
has a majority In Its favor.
One Is to compromise rather than
have legislation blocked by the persist
ence of Its friends.
The other Is to bring- up other lezls
latlon. such as a trust bill, which the
Iemocrats dare not oppoaj,"- and thus
recover their lost control.
The object of the Elkins anti-trust
bill is understood to bo to keep Inter
state commerce from belnc subject to
the orovlslons of the House bill. It Is
suspected the railroads are behind It.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 2L Quay and the territories
seeking statehood won a substantial, vic
tory today, which has demonstrated the
claim made by the friends of the omni
bus bill all the while that they had 1G
Republican votes for the measure. It was
noticeable that It was a Republican treaty
against the statehood bill, and the state
hood bill won. This does not mean that
the Republicans who voted against going
Into executive session were opposed to the
treaty. On the contrary, Quay and oth
ers have announced themselves as favor
ing the treaty, but say they want to get
the statehood bill out of the way first
The test vote showing a majority of 10 In
favor of the bill wfll make the friends of
thit measure more determined than ever,
and while it seems to be virtually Impos
sible to wear the minority out by con
tinuous sessions of the Senate, yet that
method will be tried, and possibly in the
future some compromise may be effected.
The minority is Just as determined that
the statehood bill shall not pass, and this
minority is composed of the leading Re
publicans of the Senate, who generally
have their way. The Republicans who
are opposed to the statehood bill feel sure
that they can displace the measure with
appropriation bills and also with an anti
trust measure wh,en it comes in. They
think the Democrats will not dare op
pose taking up anti-trust legislation. If
the advocates of the statehood bill can
hold together they can block all other
legislation, but they expect their bill to
pass when an extra session Is threatened,
or when it seems likely that anti-trust
legislation will f all.
Senator Mitchell and Senator Foster
were paired with the advocates of state
hood today. The Oregon Senator did not
vote, as he was unable to leave his room
today on account of a slight attack of in
digestion, but his doctor has been able
to relieve him and promises that he will
be able to resume his duties in a day or
two. senator Salmon voted with the
minority for an executive session. Turner
of Washington voted with the statehood
Senators.

best-adapted man in the House mr th
Place. It was he, in the last session, who
had active charge of the Irrigation bill
when under consideration In the House,
and he who has been designated by the
President as the father of the irrigation.
Recdor has been very active for the past
week, securing Indorsements for the irri
gation chairmanship, both from House
members and from others of innuence. but
Mondell. recognizing Reeder's ranking po
sition, has made no active canvass beyond
asking the Speaker to consider his name
among others when the selecUon Is made.
00 iar apeaicer Henderson has given no j today introduced a bill which covers the
sign of his intention to fill the vacanev i features of anti-trust legislation so far
Ius it relates to ranroaas. it contains tne
provisions which have been recommended

ishment of those who receive rebates as
well as those who give rebates. It pro
vides for the punishment of corporations
by line Instead of Imprisonment of the
officials; also for injunctions to prevent
discriminations. '
The Elkins bill is the result of confer
ences among various Senators, most of
them being members of the committee on
interstate commerce. Its purpose Is to
separate Interstate commorce and rail
roads from other legislation. The inter
state commerce committee has been un
able to agree upon measures which havo
been pending before it relating to pooling
and fixing rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The . new bill leaves
these contested questions out and covers

3IEAMXG OF ELKIXS BILL.
Intended to Exempt Interstate Com
merce From Home Trust Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash-
jngton. jan. jo. The Elkins bill, Intro
duced todiy. Is explained by its sponsors
to mean that they do not want interstate
commerce in any anti-trust bill that may
ho proposed by the House and adopted by
the Senate. There Is a suspicion that tho
railroad corporations want to keep out
side of the trust legislation, or at least
to keep interstate commerce outside of It.
hence tho proposed bill of Senator Elkins,
It may be that the Elkins bill will b
used to antagonize any trust legislation
that comes from the House or that nuy
bo reported by tho committee on Judiciary
of the Senate. That it will scarcely be
accepted by a majority of the Senate is
very likely. The Democratic membership
would no doubt prefer & measure Includ
ing the railroads with all other corpora
tlons, and. If the Republican House passes
such a measure, the men who are known
as corporation Senators will not be able
to substitute tho Elkins bill for any House
measure;
If the Elkins bill is not satisfactory to
the President it will not be framed, for
ji eeems to do almost certain that a meas
are which meet3 the views of the Presi
dent and tho Attorney-General must be
framed. Presumably the Elkins bill, as
xar as it goes, will prove quite satisfac
tory, especially to shippers, who have
complained bitterly of rebates and dis
criminations, and to that extent it meets
suggestions as to interstate commerce. It,
however, takes the railroads out of the
publicity part of the anti-trust bill, which
is being framed by the House committee,
and that Is objectionable to many mem
bers of both houses. At the same time the
feeling that publicity may do a great deal
of damage to legitimate business Is grow
ing, and it may be that it will not be
pressed as a feature of the anti-trust bill
if it encounters too much opposition.

given this distinction.
Sabine Pass has been built up largely by
New York capital, while Chicago capital
has developed Port Arthur. The New York
and Illinois Senators are, accordingly,
championing the respective ports. Bailey
Insists that in the choice between the two
ports (bp,th. now subports of entry) as to
hich shall be made a port of entry, the
wishes of the Senators from Texas should
be respected, and that Interference from
ew York or other states should not be
permitted to prevent action on his hill.
Depew Insists that the Establishment of a
port of entry is a National question, and
tnat all Senators have tho right to par
ticipate In the location of such port.
In his argument. Bailey says that Port
Arthur Is today twice as large as Sablno
Pass, and to improve Sabine Pass equally '
would require tho expenditure of $3,000,000
to $4,000,000. Until outside interference is
withdrawn and his bill is considered and
passed. Bailey Intends to block unanimous
consents in the Senate, particularly for
Republican Senators.
