June 6. By a vote of 40 to 24 the senate today took up the administration bill to authorise the president to withdraw public lands for conservation pur|mx-a. The negative rot«- was cast by member* who believ ed that the bill to admit Arisona and New Mexico to the Union as separate states should have b»-en given the right of-way. Th«- statehood bill ’probably will be delayed until near th«- cl««e of the x-s- sion, when there may be slight chance for it to emerge from conference The Democrats I«»! in the movemtuil to have the statvhool n>« a ore suletl- tut«-«i for the conx-rvation bill. The general understanding is that th«- rivers and harbors conference re port will be taken up tomorrow. Op position to that bill and the public building bill has la-en luwd effectively by the Ik-mocrata to compel the major ity party to act on legislation which the minority favored. But now, if they take that course, the effect will be to delay action on the statehood measure. Appropriation bills will be USod to displace other business. There appears to be, therefore, strong probability that the statehexal bill will be the last of all the im|>»rt- ant measures before congress to com«> up for cor.siderati<m. The indications are that final action cannot Iw taken be fore next session at leaaL It was practically settle«! tonight that there will be a conference be tween the senate and the house on the railroad bill. Since Saturday last there has been a movement on f<K>t to have the hou»« agree to the senate bill in its entirety and thus avoid a con ference. The acceptance of that provision ha«! the eff«-ct of inclining some Demo cratic senators more favorably to the bill and of causing the Ih-moeratic side of the chamber to request op|>ortunity for consultation before reaching th«« voting stag» on the final |uuuiagr. Ac cordingly, the vote was )»>atpuned to permit a Lh-mocratic conference, which will be held at II o’clock tomorrow. The senate tmiay con firm«-« I the nom ination of Fret! W.

The confer ence report on the river snd harbor bill includes an appropriation of >3U«),(MM) to lie list-«! with a like amount hereto fore appropriated by the state of Ore gon for the pun-haso of the existing canal an«! locks at Oregon City, or for the purchase of right of way and con struction of a new canal ami locka on the op|smite side of the river.

The Republicans of the house went squarely on record tonight for the prompt passag«- of th«' postal savings I n k bill, which if p»rt of President Taft’s li'gislativc program. The bill was finally agreed on at a four-hour conference lasting until midnight, at which the following reeolution sub mitted by Representative Tawney, of Minnesota, was adopted: "Resolved, That th«’ postal savings bank bill, agreed on by this caucus, be and the same is hereby adopted; that the zam-- lie reported by the committee <>n post offices and poatroa«la, and that it is th«' »«■n«e of thia caucus that a rule be re ported from the committee on rulre for ita conaideration in the house.” The caucus was largely attended ami the only bolt was by Represent« live Southwick, of New York, who v«i hcmently denounctxl the bill as redo al !y Socialistic and withdrew, declaring hia intention to fight it on the floi.r «>f the houa«-. Mr. Southwick aigneal tb<> call for the caucus and has attemhxi the three previous csuciuw-s on the bill. The caucus fiz«v! at 65 *p«-r cent the amount of funds [placed in the poatal savings banks that must remain on de- poeit in banks In ex h state and ter ritory, ami 30 p«-r cent as the propor tion of such funds that the trustee» may withdraw for investment in Unit ed States securitire. Washington, June 4. Although it came as a surprise to many, there were numerous indications today that th«< senate and the bouse might reach a prompt agreement on the railroad bill through practical acceptance by the house of th«' senate bill. While there wax no certainty that such would be th«- case, there were many straws pointing that way. This would hav«- the effect of hasten ing the adjournment of congress and member» prophesied that with the rail road bill agreed upon, adjournment would com«- within three weeks. Senators Aldrich, Crane ami Elkins today conferred with Speaker Cannon am! Representative Mann, of Illinois, who has charge of the house bill. Mr. Mann said that as far as he was con cerned, personally, he would not agree to the senate bill. He said there were many thing» in the house measure which were nut in the one a«i>>pted by the senate u|»in which he would insist. Also there were some things in th«- senate bill to which h«- objected. The subject will be called up in the hou»«- next Tuesday, when Mr. Mann will move non-concurrence and appoint ment of conferees. ' The suggestion that the house accept the senate amendments to the railroa«! bill met with favor at th«- hands of the Ilemoeralie member» of the house who had the fight against the measure adopt«-«! by the house. They pointed out that the senate bill was a much tx-tter one than that passed by the house, from the shipper»’ standpoint, and if Republican leailers sinrerely de sired a measure which would benefit the |>eople they coukl accept that meas ure. Washington. June 3. — Th«' senate today adopted Burton’s resolution in structing the Interstate commerce commission to report to the senate all available information regarding the proposed advance in railroad freight rates and to furnish 100 examples of how leading commodities will lie affect ed by the increase. Attorney General Wickcrsham Imlay declare«! that the department of justice would not pro<-e«-«l further against the rate increases by railroads unless the ahip|icr» filtnl formal protests against the increases. He declared, how ever, that his department was ready to proceed if proper evidence was laid before it. The attorney general’s announcement followed the filing of freight increases by railroads in all parts of the coun try. The new tariffs filed with the In terstate Commerce commission provide for increases varying from 3 to 31 per cent and affi'eting practically every shipping center in the Unite«! Staten. i Railroads and ship,iers are complct- wnr plans.” Both sides ar. paring for a big struggle over the rate question. Following the tiling of rate increases yesterday by the Eastern an«!

Washington, May 31. ■ Senator Bourne's drawbridge amendment was «■liminated today from the river and harbor bill by the conf«'rence commit- t»e an«l the bill was reported back to the renate am! house for Anal passage. Thia ernla drawbridge legislation for thia x-saion, for neither house will re store the amendment to the bill. The committee, however, is satisfied with the action of th«' War department in agreeing to ameml ita bridge regu lations to permit the closing of draws from 6:30 to 8:30 a. m. daily, with two 15-minute open peri«»!» when re- quired. The War department, as pre viously stated, refuM'S to grant any closed period at night, for reason» heretofore explain«!, and there x-ems no prospect thst this determinstion will be siter«»!. Senator Heyburn to day In the senate dtwlared that Idaho doe» not fsvw the popular election of United Statre senator», an! later, in effect, declared that the Idaho legisla ture was not sane when it indorsed this prop«» it ion. Heyburn comments were injected into Senator Owen*» speech in favor of popular election of senators. It is expected the bill authoriling the withdrawal of public lamia will he c«>nsldcrrd by the senate as so«m as the railroad bill has passed, and that it will pass after a brief discuasioh. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, will offer an amendment providing that the with drawals shall not last lieyond the ses- si«>n of congr«^» during which they are mxie, hia purpose being to prevent tying up the public domain by with- . drawala. Western senator« will «dd the >30,- 000.000 Irrigation bill to this measure as an amendment.
