The entire day In the senate waa devoted to the consideration of the railroad rate bill. (,'iilberann began the proceed inga by presenting an amendment prohibiting corporations coming muter the opera tion of the proposed law from making campaign contributions and tie was Immediately followed by his colleague llailny, who o IT red the amendment ao long promised hy him and followed this action with a speech in which he explained that he would not now pre sent the amendment hut for the fact that Dolliver had referred to and criti cised it in an interview, lie Indicated some displeasure over the Interview, hut exonerat xl Dolliver from diaeour tesy in the matter.

In less than 20 minutes the aenale voted away 1140.000,000 of the public funds. The sum Is carried by trie pension appro priation bill, which brief document was made the subject of very little discus sion. The railroad rate bill was laid aside for the day and the major por tion of the time waa devoted to the consideration of the fortification bill In that connection the question of the necessity for aeacoast fortifications in the Philippines was discussed at length, with the result that all provis ions for such fortifications in these islands waa eliminated. The consider ation of the measure was not concluded. There was alao a brief discussion of the power of the conference committee to amend the bill providing for punish ment for premature divulgenre of gov ernment secrets ao aa to make the in hibition extend to senators and mem bers of the house of representatives, hut the subject was left undisposed of for the time. Washington. March 20. The house of representatives today did business with a microscope in one hand and the bill making appropriations for the sal aries of ita ofliiers and employes in the other. The result was that, although 5Vfe hours were spent in reading the legislative appropriation bill for amendment, less than 25 pages were completed. The spirit of economy in little things was all absorbing. Points of order were made and many of thern were fatal to proposed increases in the salaries of officers, janitors, doorkeep ers, messengers and laborers. A point of order which made the en gine room of trie house cost $270 in stead of $2K0 a year, as promised, caused a constitutional debate of more than an hour on the point as to whether the house ould do as it saw fit in the matter of fixing the salaries of its em ployes. The conclusion seemed to be that it could, and that it prescribed its own action ty its rules However, these rule prohibited increasing a sal ary without provision of law. Monday, March 19. Washington, March 1 i There were three speeches on the railroad rate bill in the senate today. McCreary, Hailey and Ileyhtirn were the oratora. Mc Creary announced his determination to vote for the bill whether amended or not, but said that he would not object to a reasonable provision for the review of the Interstate Commerce commis sion's findings. Bailey replied to crit icisms of bis suggestion for a prohibi tion of the suspension of the commis sion's orders by courts below the (su preme court. He contended, that con- Kress had Hie absolute power to pre "crihe limitations for the courts which it creates, and cited a large number of lecisinns in support of his position. Heyburn advocated a review provision. ut expressed the opinion that, even if it were omitted, i o person could be de- nmed of his right of admission to the courts Measure Oregon Streams.

Most sensational reports are current tonight that the execution of ex-Lieutenant Schmidt, whli;h has made a deep I in pression throughout Russia, has been followed by an extensive mutiny of sailors at Sevastopol, the massacre of their nfflo.trs and firing by the fortress upon the city. The truth of the story ia doubted, this being the "psychologl cal toomeat" for the appearance of such wild reports. No press dispatches con firming the story have been received, but, if the report should prove to be true, the absence of these might ) ac counted lor hy Hie Imposition ol a cen sorship. The alleged news came In the form of two cipher telegrams tuS. prominent member of the Koclal Revolutionary party, such as the revolutionaries have sometimes heen able to transmit through accomplices in the telegraph offices when the public and even the government have been unabU to corn innnicate. A translated and displayed at the o Aires of the newspapers here, the tele gram says briefly that the sailors, in fnriated hy the refusal of Emperor Nicholas to pardon Lieutenant Hchmidt and their fellow sailors, rose in their barracks and seized and imprisoned the majority of their officers. The dis patches added that the city of Sevasto pol is almost entirely in flames. The admiralty affected -ignorance aa to the occurrence of any sush affair The papers, in view of the menace of the new press law, which provides that they may be closed up for spreading false reports affecting the army or navy, are afraid to take chances by publishing the story. THE TOPEKA IS CENSURED. Officers Did Not Take Proper Means for Rescue. Victoria, Ii. C, March 21. The find ing of the commissioners appointed to inquire into theValencia disaster was delivered today. The report found Captain Johnson was blamable in not having recovered hia position by Uma tilla reef lightship before attempting to enter the straits and held him guilty of grave error of judgment and also in not having made due allowance for the northwest set of the current aa proved well known to coast navigators. Censure was passed upon the lack of dirwiplne prevailing after the wreck, as well as the cork and cement life pre servers and inefficiency of drill. Those on the steamers Salvor and Ciar were found to have been in ignorance of there being lives on the wreck when they went to Iiamfield to dispatch assistance over the trail, the Qaeen having reported this material fact to the City of Topeka, but not to the Canadian steamer. The Topeka was found under the circumstances not to have properly stood by. while the Czar and Salvor were adjudged to have acted with due discretion. NEXT ROUND FRIDAY. Lawyers Will Argue Hermann's Latest Dilatory Motion. Washington, March 21. The next round in Representative Hermann's fight against the government will occur before Justice (ioald, next Friday morning, when arguments will be heard on a motion made today by Her mann's attorneys to compel District At torney Itaker to furnish a bill of partic ulars describing more minutely the letterpress copybooks which Hermann is accused of destroying. Counsel sub mitted with this motion an affidavit signed by Hermann, in which he, in substaiice, says he ia not able to answer the chaige aeainst him unlets the same be made more specific. From comments made last Friday, during the arguments on Hermann's demurer, it ia believed that Justice Gould will direct the district attorney to furnish a bill of particulars, but this can be done instantly, and will throw no new light on the case, since the pro secution and defense are both aware what books were destroyed. Today's motion and Friday's argument mean nothing but delay. Dewey Favors Big Warships. Washington, March 21. Great bat tleships like the 18,000-ton British bat tleship Dreadnanght are the crying need of the American navy, according to Admiral Dewey, who appeared before the house committee on naval affairs to 'ay to discuss the future of the Ameri can navy.

He mould use those of American design, and thinks we should be creative rather than imitative in developing the navy. Thousands are Killed.

Lite OPINION' OF HOUSE COMMITTEE Are Unanimous That the Decisions of the Supreme Court Are Against Federal Control. Washington, March 22. That there Is no constitutional authority for Fed eral control of Insurance or other state corporations other than railroads is to be the conclusion reported to the house by the judiciary committee. The re port has 4een drafted by Chairman Jenkins, of the committee, and is now in the hands of members of the com mittee for their perusal. An unofficial poll of the members indicates that with practically no exceptions they concur in the correctness of this conclusion. The report collates all the important court decisions on the matter involved, treats each exhaustively and reduces the whole problem to these two prin ciples: First The Sapreme court of the United States has declared and has never leen shaken or weakened in maintaining, first, that insurance is not commerce, end second, that congress cannot impair the police powers of be states. Second The advocates of Federal regulation concede, according to the re port, that insurance is not commerce. The report sets forth sction 8 of ar ticle 1 of tie constitution as conferring the only power possessed by congress to regulate commerce. PACKERS ESCAPE LAW. Judge Gives Immunity to Individuals But Not Corporations. Chicago, March 22. All of the pack ers who were indicted by the Federal grand jury last summer upon charges of being in conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce were today granted immunity from criminal prosecution under the indictment. While the in dividuals are to go free, the indict ments found against the corporations, of which some of the indicted indi viduals are aoembers and others are employes, are to stand. The decision to the above effect was handed down this afternoon by Judge Otis Humphrey, in the United States District Court. Immediately following the'dismissal of thejurj, District Attorney Morrison raised the question of the date for the trial of the corporations. He asked that the case be set for trial and that it commence within two weeks. This met with a storm of protest from the attorneys for the packers, who insisted mat ttiey would be unable to prepare for the case before the fall of this year, pleading the number of witnesses whom it would be necessary to iring to Chi cago, the stiain of the present trial, and various other reasons. After some discussion, Judge Humphrey directed that the lawyera agree among them selves upon a date and notify him of their decision next week. BUY-OUT GREAT LANDOWNERS, Kutler Proposes to Divide the Land Among Peasant Proprietors. St. Petersburg, March 22. M. Kut ler, ex- minister of agriculture and now candidate of the Constitutional Demo crats for election to the lower house of the national parliament, today began publication of an interesting series of articles on the agrarian question.

David Rro-mner Henderson, of Iowa, following a pare tic and paralytic condition of over n year's duration, did not rome unex pwtedly.

Mr. Henderson was a member of the national Houae of Representatives twenty years, and for two terms served as Kpeakor. "Good Old Dave," aa he was familiarly known, was In demand as an after-dinner speaker, where his ready wit and biting humor brought forth gales of laughter.

In 1S'0 he was sent to a small Methodist college at Fayette, known as the Urper Iowa University. In hia second year at the school the war broke out, and on the morning of September IS, 1801, when Henderson was 21, he arose during the morning assembly of the students for prayer and asked that he be given a chance to speak. After a consultation of the faculty his wish was granted, and be then made a speech which was talked of for years In Iowa owing to Its pas sion and patriotism.
