RATE BILL AGAIN
IN CONFERENCE
House Refuses to Instruct on
Pass and Sleeping-Car.
Provisions.
WILLIAMS CRIES GAG RULE
Jo Instructions in Detail Allowed,
But Exceptions Will Be Made to
Fass Provision Sleeping
Cars Under Law.
WASHINGTON, June 12. With a very
large proportion of the members present,
due to the activity of the Republican and
Democratic whips, the House today
passed a rule sending the railroad rate
bill back to conference as asked for by
the Senate, without even an expression
of its wishes as to any of the amend
ments. The rule was debated for 40 min
utes. The leaders participated In the
discussion, tne Democrats taking the po
sition that the time was opportune to
concur in the sleeping-car amendment
and instruct the conferees as to the anti
pass amendment. Although the Demo
crats were aided by eight Republicans,
they could not command votes enough
to defeat the rule, which was adopted,
184 to 93.
While the sundry civil bill was under
consideration, the House in committee of
the whole adopted an amendment offered
by Bowersock (Kan.) prohibiting canteens
In Soldiers' Homes.
Unexpectedly the Neill-Reynblds report
on the condition of Chicago packing
houses came in for severe criticism, Mon
dell (Wyo.), Slayden (Tex.) and Fulker
eon (Mo.) discuNsing the advisability of
the report in scathing terms. Ames
(Mass.) defended both the President and
the report and insisted that the pack
ers should pay the cost of inspection.
The Speaker appointed Representative
Dalzeil as agent of the Smithsonian In
stitute. SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE
House Acts on Kate Bill After Few
Snappy Speeches.
WASHINGTON, June 12Dalzell (Pa.)
presented to the House a rule from the
committee on rules taking the bill from
the Speaker's table and sending it to
conference, as requested by the Senate.
Williams (Miss.), minority leader, de
sired to offer an amendment, but with a
shake of hie head, Dalzeil refused per
mission. Dalzeil then moved the pre
vious question, whereupon Williams de
manded the yeas and nays and the roll
was called.
By a vote of 1R4 to 99 the previous ques
tion was ordered, the following eight Re
publicans voting with the Democrats:
Cooper (Wis.), Hogg (Colo.), Murphy
(Mo.), Prince (111.), Reynolds (Pa.),
Rhodes (Mo.), Wachter (Md.). Young
CMich).
Dalzeil (Pa.) explained the parliamen
tary status of the bill. He said the Sen
ate had recommitted the bill to the con
ferees. The rule proposes to grant the
request of the Senate for a further con
ference. AVillianis Raises An Issue.
Williams (Miss.), the minority leader,
said that the House was pretty familiar
with the rules by this time. If they
wanted to be gagged, all they had to do
was to vote for the rules. If they de
sired to express themselves on the great
questions involved In the rate bill, they
would vote no. He said the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Dalzeil) had prom
ised the House that It would have a
chance to vote on the amendments, and
now brings In a rule prohibiting an hon
est expression. Williams then read the
following amendment, which he proposed
to the rule as reported by Dalzeil from
the committee on rules:
Provided; however, that the House con
ferees are Instructed to concur in the Senate
amendment declaring sleeping-car companies
to be common carriers; and are further In
structed to insist upon exempting from the
provision forbidding free passes to officials
and employes of the railroads and their
families.
Prince Quotes Joshua.
Bartlett (Ga.) opposed the adoption of
the rule, because the House should' have
the right to vote on the Senate amend
ments. Paraphrasing what was said by Joshua,
Prince (111.) received a round of applause
when he stated his position:
"Choose ye this day whom you will
serve the sleeping-car companies or the
people: as for me and my bouse, we will
serve the people."
Richardson (Ala.) pronounced against
the rule, believing that now was the time
for the House to set the seal of its ap
proval on some of the amendments of the
Senate, particularly on the question of
sleeping-cars.
Townsend (Mich.) was in favor of the
rule on the ground that it was the orderly
procedure to determine what the House
desires. He said that sleeping-cars had
not 'been originally considered in connec
tion with rate regulation at the time the
bill was first considered In committee, but
as the dangerous doctrine of specification
had been adopted, he believed that sleep
ing-cars should be included in the bill.
Grosvenor (O.) said that the position of
the House was the same as when the con
ference asked for by the Senate had been
agreed to.
De Armond (Mo.) called the rule "gag
law," and said now was the time to vote
on the amendments as to sleeping-car
companies and passes for railroad em
ployes.
Dalzeil reiterated his position that he
was in favor of the sleeping-car amend
ment and in favor of exempting? railway
employes from the operation of the anti-
pass amendment.
The rule was adopted yeas 184. nays 99
and Hepburn (la.), Sherman (N. Y.) and
Richardson (Tenn.) were appointed con
ferees.
EXCEPTION TO PASS PROVISION
Railroad and Postal Employes to Be
Favored Sleepers Under Ivaw.
WASHINGTON. June 12. There has
been prepared by the House conferees
on the railroad-rate bill a modified
'arm of the ' anti-pass amendment.
which will be presented at the next
meeting of the conferees. The modifi
cation is In the way of specifying an
excepted class, which may receive free
transportation from the railroads law
fully. The first exception is that of
railroad employes and their families.
Another is that of employes of the
Postofnce Department who hold com
missions from the Postmaster-General
and are required to travel.
The agitation over the completely
prohibitive pass provision embodied in
the first conference report has devel
oped a decided, sentiment among legis
lators that anti-pass legislation per
haps ought not to be made a part of
the railroad-rate bill, and the possi
bility Is that both the Senate and the
House may agree to leave the matter
under the present law.
There Is a further prediction regard
ing the result of the second conference
that Pullman cars will be made sub
ject to regulation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Just as are
other facilities of Interstate commerce.
Speaker Cannon expressed himself
emphatically against the prohibition
of passes to railroad employes. '
The conferees have arranged to meet
at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow. It Is" ex
pected that an agreement on all dif
ferences will be reached speedily.
NO CANTEENS FOR VETERANS
House Allows No Money for Soldiers
Homes Having Them.
WASHINGTON, June 12. An amend
ment offered ' by Bowersox, of Kansas,
to the sundry civil appropriation bill that
no part of the appropriation should apply
to any National soldiers home in which
a canteen is maintained brought before
the House today the entire canteen ques
tion. Tawney made a point of order
against the amendment, but the chair
held that the amendment was germane.
Gardner thought the Government should
throw "around the weak old soldier, the
decrepit old soldier," Its arms of protec
tion and make the evening of his life
one of uprightness and soberness.
Uttlenold quoted statistics from a num
ber of soldiers" home with and without
canteens in which it appeared that the
number of infractions of the rules was
much larger In homes having canteens
than In those without them. After fur
ther debate the amendment was adopted,
109 to 63.
BILL FOR TWO-CENT MILEAGE
Sherman Proposes Coupon-Books

WASHINGTON, June 12. Representa
tive Sherman, of New York, introduced

ing interstate business shall be 2 cents a

to contain coupons for from 1000 to 15.000

shall be good for the checking of baggage
and for passage on all passenger trains.
The bill was referred to the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce, of
which Sherman is the ranking Repub
lican member. He Is also a member of
the conference committee on the rail
road rate bill.
PHOTO CARS START OUT
Fitted Up to Record the Scenes
Along the Ilarrimaa System.
. SAN FRANCISCO, June 12. Two pho
tographic cars, said to be the first of the
kind, were completed in the West Oakland
shops of the Southern Pacific yesterday.

riman line officers, and are to be used in

Asks Warden to Delay Preparations
for His Execution.
OSSINING, N. Y., June 12. Albert T.
Patrick, the lawyer, whose appeal for a
new trial on the charge of murdering
William Marsh Rice was denied yester
day, suggested that Warden Johnson de
fer his arrangements for Patrick's execu
tion next week. Patrick, who did not
seem despondent, notified the warden that
he was preparing an application to the
United States Circuit Court for a writ of
error and that this would probably stay
the execution. Mr. Johnson however, in
formed Patrick that he should continue
his arrangements unless stopped by order
of the court.
CANTON. O., July 12. Application was
made to Justice Day, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, this after

WILL PUT IN COMPROMISE
Bill Passed Extending Time of
Transit for Livestock Lodge
Gives Beef Packers Rap
on Knuckles.
wAawTMmvw Tunc 12. Ths confer
ence report on the statehood bill was to
day withdrawn from and again presented
to the Senate, the new report containing
the compromise provision agreed upon by
r thA two houses. There
was some discussion of the power of the
conferees to witnaraw xne repun u
withdrawal was only permitted by a
vote. The new report was not considered.
Much of the remainder of the day was
devoted to the bill extending to 36 hours
the time that livestock may -be carried in
-ti, without imlnariine. Warren being
In charge. During the discussion there
was some reference to tne proposeu is
latlon for the regulation of packing
houses, and Lodge said the packers are
standing in their own light in not in
viting the most rigid Inspection. The
bill was passed.
A number of minor bills were passed.
EXTENDS TIME v OF TRANSIT
Senate Passes Bill and Lodge Kapa
Packers on Knuckles.
WASHINGTON. June 12. By a vote of
54 to 6 the Senate today decided to con
sider the bill extending from 28 to 36
hours the time that livestock may be
kept in cars without unloading. The pas
sage of the bill was advocated by War
ren, who said that under its terms the
time can.only be extended on the written
application of the owners of the stock,
and that often unloading is more harm
ful to stock than to extend for a few
hours the time of their confinement.
The bill was opposed by Lodge, Scott
and Spooner, who contended that an ex
tension of time would work a cruelty.
Scott expressed the opinion that. In view
of the present agitation of the fresh-meat
question, it Is not wise to give further
occasion for criticism.
Bailey advocated the passage of the bill,
saying that It is impossible to enforce the
existing law, and that the President had
directed that the law be suspended during
the present Congress.
According to the view of Carter, self
interest would compel shippers to protect
their stock, and he declared they would
take proper care of them in the absence
of any law on the subject.
Patterson declared it the height of ab
surdity, as well as of cruelty, to unload
stock within a few hours of their destina
tion. He said that wild cattle could not
be taken out of Or Into cars without great
inhumanity.
Speaking from practical experience, An.
keny expressed the opinion that the bill
would result beneficially
Lodge expressed the opinion that the
House would have done well to legislate
on the alleged packing-house abuses, as
the Senate had done.
Warren protested against the connec
tion of the cattlegrowers with the pack
ers, saying the former have far more to
complain "of as against the packers than
have the public at large.
Lodge said trfat the Chicago packers
were standing in their own light in try
ing to prevent legislation. "If they had
not been absolutely stupefied by greed,"
he said, "they would have welcomed In
spection that would assist them in reach
ing the markets of the world."
Hopkins declared that the Chicago pack
ers were not obstructing legislation; "they
will welcome any Inspection or anything
that will stop the hysteria that Is sweep
ing over the world."
The bill was then passed without divis
ion. SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE
Statehood Report Will Now Give
Place to Compromise.
WASHINGTON, June 12. In the Senate
today. Senator Beveridge sought to with
draw the conference report on the state
hood bill, so that the conferees might
take up the compromise agreed upon yes
terday, but the request was opposed' by
Blackburn, who made the point of order
that a conference report, being the prop
erty of the two houses of Congress, can
not be withdrawn, except by unanimous
consent.
Carter replied that technically the report
in this case had not been presented to the
House. He contended that under the prac
tice of the Senate, a conference report
could be withdrawn at any time previous
to action by the Senate. He took Issue
with a statement by Blackburn that the
report is the Joint property of both
Houses, saying that the papers are all
in the Senate, and the matter has not
been presented to the House.
Lodge and Foraker took the position
that upon objection to the withdrawal of
a report, such permission can only be
granted by a vote of the Senate. Bever
idge thereupon moved that leave toe grant
ed to withdraw the report, and this was
carried without division. He then formal
ly withdrew the report, thus taking it
back to conference.
The conferees met informally today and
agreed upon the new report to be made in
accordance with the compromise plan in
regard to Arizona and New Mexico. In
view of some dissatisfaction among the
Democrats in the Senate, it was thought
best not to bring in a report until tomor
row. In the meantime, efforts are being
made to placate the Democrats in order
to avoid reopening discussion of the ques-.
tion. v '
Later In the day a second meeting of
the conferees was held and it was decidedi
to make the report. It was presente to
the Senate by Beveridge Just prior to
adjournment and on motion of Carter
It was ordered to lie on the table. It prob
ably will toe called up tomorrow.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 12. A tempest
Is brewing in the lower house of Parlia
ment and it will break when Military
Procurator Pavloff takes the rostrum, as
he is expected to do on Thursday upon
the reassembling; of the House to give
War Minister Rudiger's explanation of
the executions In the Baltic provinces.
It Is claimed that evidence has been
secured that orders were Issued to stop
the execution of the eight men who were
put to death May 29 for the killing; of a
police lieutenant, but that the order was
deliberately delayed by Pavloff and the
telegram arrived too late, though the
commander at " Riga delayed the execu
tion to the latest possible moment.
The Socialist group intends to make a
stormy demonstration, and even con
servative members of the Constitutional
Democratic party are enraged at what
they term new proof of governmental
duplicity in another death sentence for
an attempt to murder a Cossack, which
is reported from Reval.
The Constitutional Democrats are also
Irritated by the discovery of a secret cir
cular to Governors ordering that the
closest watch be kept over prominent
members of the party and that- their
every movement be reported to St. Peters
burg. An interpellation with regard to
surveillance will be introduced.
NOBLES UNWILiLiIXG TO 6 ELI
Offer Anything to Feasants Except
Expropriation of Land.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 12. The
nobles' congress, now in session here,
has jpractically Indorsed the govern
ment's agrarian programme, having
declared itself against the forced ex
propriation of, land and proposing, only
two methods for the relief of the peas
ants. These are purchases of land
through the peasants' banks and
transmigration to Siberia, especially
commending the latter, and recom
mending the granting of free land in
Siberia and exemption from taxes for
a period of years. The congress also
Indorsed the government's proposition
for a dissolution of the commune sys
tem where it Is desired.
An influential but small minority,
headed by Count Uvaroff, of Saratoff,
protested against the selfish attitude
of the nobility, urging, unavalllngly,
that the large landlords, if they wished
to escape from utter ruin, must cede
something to the country and at least
consent to the expropriation of the
surplus estates.
A strong effort is being made by the
Moderate Liberals, who are being or
ganised into a new party under the
leadership of M. Yermoloff, formerly
Minister of Agriculture .and now a
member of the upper house, to Induce
the Emperor and court to attempt to
compromise the situation by supplant
ing the Goremykin ministry with a
mixed Cabinet, chosen from the Octo
ber party, the party of Democratic re
forms and the Constitutional Demo
