L'TTLE PROGRESS IS MADE
Host of Day Devoted to Lodge's Pro
vision for Bringing Pipe Lines
Within Terms of the
Rate Bill.
WASHINGTON'. May 4.-In accord
ance with the agreement of last Monday
the Senate today entered upon the con
sideration of the amendments to the
rate bill under the fifteen-minute rule.
but made little progress. The greater
part of the day was devoted to Lodge's
provision for bringing pipe lines with
in the terms of the bill, it ultimately
was unanimously agreed to, after so
amending it so, as to make it exclude
gas and water line from it's operation,
thus nraeticallv confining it to oil
lines.
The provision was so amended as to
make it applicable to the oil pipe line in
the Panama canal zone.
The proposition of Foraker to exclude
refrigerator cars from the requirements
of the bill and another by McCumber
making the requirements concerning
these cars more stringent than in the
original bill, were impartially voted
down.
The day's proceedings were quite per
functory, being rendered so by the gen
eral knowledge of the fact that the
Republican Senators were on the eve of
an agreement that would determine the
character of the bill. There was a gen
eral disposition to await that agree
ment and an adjournment over until
tomorrow was taken for the purpose of
.permitting it to be perfected.
Ni:V YOHK
today says:
Some tire insurance men frightened
by the losses in San Francisco started
an agitation wMvrduv to make the
form of insurance contract more rigid
A president of one of the big companie
was uppivachcd by a man who want
J the contracts in the future to read that
losses caused not only directly but in
directly by earthquake cannot lie re
covered. In other words, no insurance
would Im paid on a lire loss which was
caused by a fire started by an earth
quake in some other structure.
'i do not believe theiv is anv chance
of such restrictions leing placed
contract," said the President. "You
might u well except losses indirectly
due to tornadoes or blizzards. New-
York might have burned up at the time
of the great blizzard, but it would not
have been right to have such a situa
tion invalidate the insurance."
Several telegrams were received yes
terday from officials and representa
tive of insurance companies who have
reached San Francisco. One expreed
the opinion that the companies would
not get rid of more than 15 per cent of
.their liabilities in the burned district
through the action of the earthquake.
Other estimates ran from that to 40
per cent.
Several representative of foreign
companies are expected on the steamer
Baltic today. Nothing definite was de
eided yesterday on the proposition that
the companies get together and agree to
pay about 60 per cent of the claims
within thirty days rather than have
long litigation over them. Efforts are
being made to induce some of the big
life insurance companies to assist in
financing the rebuilding of San Kr.in-
cioo. Within a few days a leading
business man of that city ha been here
on that mission, but so far as could be
learned he had not been siicce-sful.
While the comKinic will undoubtedly
be willing to loan money on individual
