tion, directing the Interstate Commerce
commission to make an immediate in
quiry and report regarding alleged re
el raints of trade on the part of certain
railroad in the handling of coal and

Washington, Feb. 23. By a rote of
S to 5 the senate committee on inter
etate commerce today agreed to report
the Hepburn railroad rate bill without
amendment, but the resolution re
served to the members of the commit
tee freedom of action concerning
amendments offered in the senate. By
a vote of 5 to 8, Republicans prevail
ing, Tillman, a Democrat, was given
the honor of reporting the bill. This
establishes a precedent, in that a Re
publican senate committee has given
to a Democrat control of an important
measure passed by a Republican house
and endorsed by a Republican presi
dent. Thursday, February 22.

discussed and Ion expected railroad
bill was introduced in the senate today,

a crime out of harmony with the office
held by the midshipmen. The bill was
passed.
Washington, Feb. 22. The house to
day refused to adjourn in celebration

Will Report Bill.
Washington, Feb. '20. The Philip
pine tariff bill, which has been held up
in the sneate committee ever since it
passed the house, is soon to be reported.

were supposed to be solidly arrayed
against the bill, held a conference today
and two out of the five declared their
intention to vote to report the bill
Carmack of Tennessee and McCreary
of Kentucky. Three Republicans, how
ever Hale of Minnesota, Burrows of
Michigan and Brandegee of Connecticut
are opposed to the bill.
It is the desire of Mr. Tawney that
appropriations shall be made available
for two year f r the payment of ex
penditures properly incurred within
that time, and at the end of that period
all unexpended balances shall be trans
ferred to the surplus fund, thus avoid
ing making the appropriations perma
nent. The report of Mr. Shaw show that
there were about 250 permanent appro
prlationa iu 1904 and 1905. In 1904

names of 6,000 women, and another
those of 6,000 children. The fourth
was signed by Indians only.

No Religious Test.
Washington, Feb. 20. In presenting
petitions against Senator Reed Smoot,
signed by thousands of women of Cali
fornia and Colorado, Perkins and Pat
terson took occasion today to define
their position on the protests against
the Utah senator. The former said
that religious views should not be con
sidered in passing upon the qualifica
tions of a senator, and that his honesty
and attributes that command confidence
and respect should be above all else.
Patterson thought there were great con
stitutional questions to be considered.
SEALERS MAY SUE UNCLE SAM.
Bill Allowing Court to Adjust Claims
for Compensation.
Washington, Feb. 23. A favorable
report was mad today on Senator Ful
ton' bill which permits owners ol
sealing vessels seised lor pelagic sealing
lu Behrlng sea to go into the Circuit
court for the Ninth circuit to recover
from the government an amount equal
to the loea they sustained through the
leisure of their teasels.
Years ago, when Pehrlng sea was
held to be a closed lea, the United
States claimed Jurisdiction over th
east half and Russia over the lemaln
der, and sealing was prohibited. Many
sealing vessels were captured by the
two governments. The Supreme court
subsequently held Behrlng sea to be an
open sea and denied the Jurisdiction of
this government beyond the three ma
rine league limit.
Following this, British sealer whose
vessels were taken by American reve
nue cutters sued and recovered from
the United States, and owner of Amer
ican ships taken by Russians recovered
from that government. But this gov
ernment has never paid the claims of
American sealers whose vereelt were
illegally seised by the American gov
ernment. It is to pay these claims
that the bill is pressed. In the aggre
gate It is not believed the claim will
exceed $1,000,000.
'TWIXT HOPE AND FEAR.
Morocco Delegates Doubtful of Suc
cess of Conference.
Algeciras, . Feb. 23. Although the
Franco-German deadlock remains un
broken, the opinion of the delegates to
the Moroccan conference fluctuates a
to tie results, the view today being
rather more hopeful that some solution
is possible. Thl is due largely to the
German attitude that an adjustment
eventually will be reached. The
American delegates also continue con
fident, despite the French and British
pessimism. Some of the delegates ex
press the view that some conciliatory
movement will be made directly from
Berlin.
At the afternoon session the con
ference settled a few minor points on
the bank question, including the adop
tion of a gold basis.
The Italian delegates are discucsing
the possibility of the appointment of
a number of the conferees as arbitra
tors for the settlement of the contro
versial points of the French and Ger
man projects, should agreement rela
tive to the majority of the details be
attained.
Ambassador White persiits in his
optimistic view of the ultimate reeult
of the conference.
RUSSIA WILL BRAND COWARDS.
Officers Who Surrendered Without
Cause To Be Disgraced.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 23. Unprece
dented regulations to purge the army of
officers accused of cowardice and sur
rendering during the war for no reason
able cause were announced today by
the military organ, the Russky Invalid.
Captive officers returning from Japan
will, unless they were wounded when
captured, be tried before courts of
honor, and unless reinstated by the
unanimous decision of their fellow
officers, will be dismissed in disgrace.
"Contusions, " a frequent excuse (or
surrender, will not be accepted.
The higher officers who were respon
sible for the surrender of their organ
izations must secure a vindication from

the emperor individually.

rison at Port Arthur are exempt from
these provision-, the responsibility for
the surrender of that fortress falling
noon General Stoessel.
Men Won't Let Women Talk.

congress for uniform divorce laws be
came so great this afternoon that Miss
Fannie Leake Cummings, the sole rep
resentative of Washington state, with
drew and left for her home.' Her reas
on was "the men won't let the women
talk." Of these offenders, she said,
ministers were the worst. It was earl
ier in the day, while she was making a
speech on the "Real Causes of Divorc
es," that C. Larue Munson, of Phila
delphia, asked her to cease, because tie
