The work of the Senate after the bill was reported was con finrd to the partial consideration of the pipe line provision, which was so amended as to strike out the Mor srsn proviso extending: its operation to other countries where the United States had Jurisdiction. Pass Amendment Adopted. When the Senate convened, Culber son prsaented a- substitute amendment permitting railway employes, their families, railway atforneys and care takers of livestock to use free trans portation.

McLaurln then presented an amendment prohibiting greater charges for short than for long hauls, and Daniel moved a sub stitute to cover the situation in Virginia. McLaurln entered upon a general criti cism of the President's course In connec tion with the rate bill. He declared that the President had entirely changed his position, and predicted the production of a new song to be known as "Roosevelt's Surrender," and to be sung to the tune of "Bonaparte's Retreat. " True, he said. the President Is a fighter; nor did he quit fighting after his surrender. On the con trary, he continued the conflict after go ing over to the enemy. Daniel's substitute was then voted down, and the McLaurln provision imme diately met a like fate. An amendment by McLaurln prohibiting the running of trains on Sunday also was summarily voted down. Canal Pipe JLIne Excepted. Up to this point the Senate had been considering the bill in committee of the whole but It was then, at 4:40 P. M.. re ported to the Senate and Hopkins re newed his motion to have tne pipe-line provision amended by striking out the extension of the provision to the Panama Canal Zone. Hopkins' motion was In the Interest of the Union Oil Company, which has been granted a permit to construct a pipe line across the Isthmus of Panama. It was discussed by the Illinois Senator and Spooner In support, and by Morgan In opposition. Morgan contended the grant was adopted without authority and Spooner said that the President had a right to do whatever may be necessary in the construction of the Isthmian Canal. The motion prevailed. 43 to 25. So further progress was made on the rate bill, as the Senate went into exec utive session and adjourned at 6:28 until 11 o'clock tomorrow. Tremendous Gasoline Explosion. NEW YORK. May 18.

WILLIAMS RAISES 'LAUGH Name Monster "Skeered o' Xothin' " and Challenge Dreadnaught to Duel Pacific Coast Re gains Differential. WASHINGTON, May 16. The naval ap propriation bill, carrying nearly 100,000.000, was completed today in the House after one of the busiest days of the present Con gress. The feature! of the day's debate grew out of the attempt to defeat the ap propriation for the largest battleship of lte class In the world and the tenor of the speeches for the big ship was that the American Republic must be abreast of the nations of the world in the strength of her Navy. The opponents talked for peace, disarmament and arbitration, and Insisted that there was no National need for such a large Navy. The amendment introduced by Burton, of Ohio, to strike out the appropriation for a rival to the British Dreadnaught was defeated, as was the amendment leaving the construction of the battleship to the discretion of the Secretary of the Navy after the second Hague conference. A final vote on the bill will be taken tomorrow. Burton Opposes Marine Terror. The first paragraph. "Increase of the Navy." provides for an appropriation of J6.000.000 for a battleship that will be su perior to the Dreadnaught. provided for by the British government, exclusive of armament and armor. The fight against this provision was pre cipitated by Burton, of Ohio, who moved to strike out the. paragraph. He said that the present programme of the Navy in the way of building new ships had already been provided for until January, 1910. and. In view of delays which may cover a period of two years, the programme of the Navy was outllnd until 1912. He furr ther insisted that the relations between the governments of the world might be vastly changed before 1912 comes around, and that the leading nations might decide In favor of a reduction of their navies and In favor of international arbitration.

In view of the British having decided to name their sea monster Dread naught, the American sea monster be named "Skeered o' NothinV as being typ ical of the National spirit; that on its completion the captain in command be authorized to challenge the Dreadnaught to a "duel outrance" (to the death), and that the President and his Cabinet, with the exception of the Secretary of Agri culture, who is a noncombatant, be invited to places on the quarter-deck aa evi dences of the strenuous life; the sea fight to take place off Newport. The amendment was ruled out of order, but Williams, as well as the House, had a good deal of fun out of It Tawney (Minn.), chairman ofthe appro priations committee, opposed the proposi tion.

Lobbyist Implicated. MILWAUKEE, May 16. The most sen sational testimony which has been pre sented to the special insurance commit tee investigating Insurance matters in the "Wisconsin Legislature was given to day, when Insurance Commissioner Host testified before the committee that on June 16, 1903. the day on which the hear ing in the case of the State of Wisconsin against the Equitable Life Assurance So ciety of the United States for a com pulsory distribution of the surplus of that company to Wisconsin policy-holders was to be -held by him. Secretary of 8tates Walter Houser entered the Insur ance Commissioner's office and said that If Mr. Host would render a decision in accordance with a slip handed bj; Mr. Houser to Mr. Host, which would have been a decision favorable to the Equi table, the Equitable would give J3O0O to ward a campaign fund for a renomina tion of the state officers in the next cam paign. Argument Not Convincing. Mr. Host testified that he told Mr. Houser that he would think the matter over. His decision was against the Equit able Life Assurance Society, which after ward took the case Into the courts and there obtained a ruling adverse to Mr. Host's order for a compulsory distribution of the surplus on deferred dividend poli cies at least once in five years. Mr. Host further testified that Robert Luscombe, a lobbyist, who has for years represented Eastern Insurance companies before various Legislatures'. ' telephoned to him three times from Chicago between June 16 and July 21. 1903. the latter hav ing been the day on which Mr. Host ren dered his dedsio"n. and asked Mr. Host to come to Chicago, saying he thought he had an argument which would con vince Mr. Host that the statute in ques tion was not compulspry. Houser Says Luscombe Did It. Mr. Houser took the stand in his own defense and admitted that he and Lus combe were friends, and declared that Luscombe had handed him the written slip of paper, which he had handed Mr. Host, and requested that he give It to the Insurance Commissioner. Mr. Houser, however, emphatically denied that any mention was made of a campaign fund contribution at the time of his handinar the slip of paper, on which the Equitable decision was written, to the Insurance Commissioner. Mr. Houser admitted that at another time he had asked Mr. Host to request collections from insurance companies for a political campaign against Congressman J. W. Babcock in the Third Wisconsin Diotriet. and said Mr. Host had not taken unkindly to the suggestion, but said he would think the matter over. This Mr. Host strongly denied, declaring that Mr. Houser had never spoken to him on such a subject.

OXE MAX CONTROLS ALL- THREE Bulkley's Startling Statement About Big Insurance Companies. v- i cut vr-TAV HA9v tfi TTnited States Senator Bulkley, of Connecticut, was heard by the House committee on the Judiciary today in refutation of the state ment made yesterday before the commit tee by Miles M. Dawson, of New York, to the effect that not one of the American fire insurance companies knew today whether it would or would not be solvent when it paid Its San tTancisco nre losses. There was, said Senator Bulkley, abso-i..fAi- fnnnitntinn for such a state ment. Mr. Bulkley is president of tha Aetna Fire insurance uimpiij. said further that he knew of no American company that did not know just where it stood financially. Mr. Bulkley continued nis discussion oi inBiimn miestiona confronting the country at the afternoon session, and some of his remarks ana rauaumuuii se ated some degree of a sensation to the roomful of committeemen and insurance representatives. Cause of Insurance Exposure. Discussing the Armstrong investigation and the irregularities brought out in that connection, he said they did not arise from the internal mismanagement of the company's or from the personal or of ficial dishonesty of the officers of the companies, but wholly from the jealousy of financiers to get control of the vast funds of these institutions. i The investigation and the legislation which has grown out of it, instead of bet tering conditions, he said, would produce a contrary effect as pronounced as'jump ing from the frying-pan Into the fire. Instead of having several great insti tutions, as before, controlled by a di vided responsibility, they had put he entire business into the hands of one man. One Man Rules Big Three. "Who is that man?" asked Representa tive Deyardmond. Mr. Bulkley did not reply. There was a silence in the room, then a general suppressed laugh. In the official record of the hearing no answer to this ques tion will appear. "Twenty years from now," went on Mr. Bulkley, after the tension of this inci dent had passed, "these great insurance corporations existing today will own the major portion of the investment securi ties of the country. They will control absolutely the finances of the United States and of the world." Defends Campaign Gift. Mr. Bulkley. who is president of the" Aetna 'Ire insurance uompaiiy, i raimij admitted, in answer to a question by Representative De Armond, that he had contributed J5000 of the funds of his com pany to the McKinley campaign of 1896. He added that it might as well have been J20.000, that he would have been Justified in giving this amount, which was not a "flea bite" to what he gave personally. "Do you think that action upon your part in contributing the rust funds of your company to a campaign committee either justifiable, honest or decent?" queried Mr. De Armond. "I contend that every custooian of funds of this character." replied the Con necticut Senator, "is justified and within his rights when he takes that money and applies it to the protection of the rights v,a nonnla T Mntun tbat the elec. tion of Mr. Bryan would have been a ca lamity." Xew Philosophy of Insurance. "This Is a new philosophy of insurance which -I am glad to hear." commented Mr. De Armond, after several questions along this line. "There are some people who get so powerful in the financial world that they do not fear to go In boldly where others would not dare to go." "If you gentlemen of the Houss of Representatives," replied Mr. Bulkley, "who disburse millions of the people's money, disburse It aa honestly as money is handled by the insurance . companies of the country,; you need have no fear of going before your constituents." BULLETS SUPPRESS RIOTS Anarchist Strikers Rule Cagliari Cn til Soldiers Shoot. NEW YORK, May 16. A cable dis patch to the Herald from Cagliari, Sar dinia, says: Several persons were killed and many wounded in a collision between troops and strikers here yesterday, and fur ther trouble is expected. Reinforce ments of the small garrison have been urgently demanded, and troops have left Genoa and Leghorn. Trouble began Monday as the cul mination of a great Increase .In the price of food and an anarchistic agita tion leading the workmen to strike. Thousands of men marched to the state tobacco manufactories and other establishments, forcing the. workmen to strike, smashing windows of shops and upsetting streetcars and cabs. There was another and more serious demonstration yesterday. Preceded by a woman bearing a red flag with a large loaf of bread on top of the staff, a parade of strikers was formed, and passed in front of the Mayor's house, demanding his resignation. Next they went to the railway station, which was guarded by troops, whom tney proceeded to stone. The soldiers stood their ground without firing until the Colonel, Count Ponza dl san Martlnes. and Colonel Gandini had been injured by the missiles and 25 of the troops and police agents seriously wounded. Then there was a scattering fusil lade from the soldiers, and the crowd fled in panic, leaving 42 of its number lying wounded in the street. Of these two died before reaching the hospital, four are dying and 11 are tn a danger ous condition. All the shops are closed. No newspaper has appeared, and the suspension of work is general.
