Whei the Senate met Mr. Culbert ton presented and had the '-!erk to read a memorial from the Cat tle Raisers' Association of Texas. urging the passage of the railroad riae bill as it. came from the House. Tha.e let ter was aceompanied by .,let ter from S. H. Cowan. at (ornev rh Ill. cilation. in which he s2.il that the rail roads have in the past six years il creased rates ou cattle shipments to the extent of $18 a car, causing a total outlay of $10,000,000 abovo the amount that it would have been nec cessary to pay uider the old prices. The petition urged the Senate to re sist efforts to seriously amend the bill as mere subteftuges on part of op ponents of the bill. The following bills were passetd: Amending the law requiring lights oi rafts so as to make it apply to rafts in tow. Authorizing the erection of a dam across the Choetaw Hat'che river, in Dale county, Ala. The conference report on the con sular reorganization bill was agrced to without discussion. All in Publics Interest. When the railroad rate bill %as taken up, Mr. Clay addressed the Senate, saying that he not consider the principle point of controversy a serious one. He had heard charges that both the House and the Kn:x bills were drawn in the interest of the railroad. but the facts, he de elared, were convincing that such was not the case. He then traecd the his tory of the House bill. saying that it owed its origin to the inter-State commerce commission and -.I, been accepted by the entire membership of the House committee. Republican and Iemocrats alike had passed the House with practical unanimity. The bill might not be perf(et. but he was satisfied that it had ree:ivd only honest consideation. So. too.l he was satisfied that the Knox. the Tillman and Culber!son bills had all beer. drawn in the interest of 1he people. He discussed the qucstion of a ourt review of the orders of the inter State commerce ctmnuson. savng tAat if uider the House bill the regu lariiy of the coiiission's orlers only was contested. the earrin' w-1uld be deprived of the right to cimitesniig a rate lixed. Should Concede Review. Mr. Clay declared that of it wva the intention to nermit a review If ithe commission's 1i1in,. the right should be conceded in the hill. "-Why not say so dir"tlY in thc biladget over the emontroversy"' he said "'I believe that review ought to be permitted, but I believe that the review ought to be conlinued to the question as to whether the rate fixed i:; constitutional. The court should not be auihorized to go into the whole case.' Mr. Tillman and Mr. Fulton asked why, if the review privilege was to be confined to the constitutional priivi lege, any provision of the kind was necessary, and Mr. Clay replied that he would agree with them it' there were nothingr in the bill as it stands on the subject of review, but that ini view of the text of the bill he thionght it should be aimetded so as to author ize the courts to say whether the rates fixed were confiseatory. Mr. Clay referred to d thdifffe'enees of opinion between eminent lawyers when the income tax measure was be fore Congress. Mr. Tillman said it wais no wontder lawyers were "befuddled" on that measure, becaruse the Sumpreme Court had been on both sides. In the House. The House adiopted the conference report on the consular re form bill. April 10 was agreed upaon as the (ate when debate on then puire foodl bill shall coammenee, ;o continue at Ileast two udays.

Mr. Gaines of Tennessee said it was an outrage on the part of the ap propriat ions committee not to) give the Secretary of the Interior what he Ineeded toa carry on the work of "run ninp' down the wilderne;:s of land thieves in the West.' Mr. Mann. of Illinois. said that the Secretary of the Interior had been most active in ferreting land frauds.
