amination by their brother senators to
day on the White house conference on
tbe former' court reriew amendment

at length in support of bis amendment,
both tbe railroad senator on tbe Re
publican aide and tha Democratic sen
ators wanted to know more about it
paternity. They scented in it being
discussed with the president and hia
advisers by a few of tbe friend of the
bill before it introduction in the sen
ate an invasion of tbe sacred preroga

202 to 26 tbe bouse today passed "tLe
national quarantine bill. Tbe bill

tbe secretary of tbe treasury and di
rect tbat as soon as practicable after
tbe approval of the act he shall select
and designate such suitable place for
them and establish the same at such
point on or near the seacoast of . the
United State or tbe Mexican border a

same, in order to prevent the introdns-
tion of yellow fever into tbe United
States.
The bill further gives the secretary

ment to the house railroad rate bill
agreed to at tbe White house Saturday
by friends of tbe bill, providing for a
limited review of order of tbe Inter
state Commerce commission, was offer
ed in the senate today by Long, of
Kansas, but be was not able to get the
floor to make his speech. The princi
pal speech was made by Fulton, of Ore
gon, who spoke for the bill. It waa a
legal argument bearing upon the con
stitutional questions involved, and in
terruptions were so frequent that the
speech amounted to a debate . on law
points, where the speaker divided time
with tbe a majority of the lawyer of
the senate. Nelson, of Minnesota, and
Heyburn, of Idaho, made brief speech
es on the bill.
Washington, April 2. Chief among
the measures passed by tbe house today
waa tbe so-called "personal liability"
bill, which has been favored by the
army of railway employe throughout
the country, and which practically had
a unanimous report from the commit
tee. Member of tbe house showed
great interest in the measure, and, had
a division been called for, the bill
would have had an almost unanimous
vote. Another measure changing exist
ing law. which excited a filibuBtering
opposition, waa the bill permitting the
fortification of sweet wine and levy
ing a tax of 3 cent a gallon on all
wine thus fortified. A number of bills
were passed under suspension of the
rales.
The personal liability bill makes
each party responsible for its own neg
ligence. It also renders void any con
tract intended to restrict the liability
of the employer for tbe negligence of
employes.
Saturday, March 31.
Washington, March 13. This being
war claim day in the house, only those

the private calendar were in attend
ance. The house during the four hours
it was in session considered and passed
179 bills, many, however, sending
the particular claim to the court of
claims for adjudication.
Previous to taking up the calendar a
bill wa- passed granting to the Capital
City Improvement company, of Helena,
Montana, the right to construct a dam
across the Missouri river in Montana.
Square Deal In Alaska. .
Washington, April 2. The secretary
of the interior today Bent to congress a
draft of a bill which he recommends to
be passed providing that, whenever
mineral entries are made in Alaska, six
months' notice shall be given instead of
60 days, as at present. Under existing
laws it has become a common practice,
particularly in remote mining districts,
for entrymen to bold off until the mails
are virtually-closed by bad weather and
then forward their notices to Juneau.
In this manner persons wishing to in
stitute a contest are precluded.
