Rate Bill Passes the Senate. A fier 70 days discnssion the rate bill passed the Senate. the vote for its passage bein- practically unani molus. The Comerce Commission. While the debate on the personnel of the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion was in progress in the Senate Senator Tillman took the floor to make a statement on behalf of ex-Sen ator Chandler which has been mo mentarily expected since Senator Lodge's conveyance last Saturday to the Senate of the President's emphat ic denial of some of the statements credited to Mr. Chandler by the South Carolina Senator. Mr. Tillman read the portion of Mr. Chandler's memoranda of his confer ences with the President which has heretofore been given to the public prefacing it with a brief statement of his own saying that on Saturday the Senate had been startied and mortified to hear the utterances of an ex-mem ber denounced on behalf of the Presi dent as "a deliberate and unqualified falsehood." As lie had been responsi ble for introducing the subject which had caused the attack on Mr. Chand ier he felt under obligations to place him right on the record. To that end he read the ex-Senator's statement. The Work in the House. The House decided to vest in the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia the power to appoint the board of education having supervision of the schools of W ashington instead of in the board of district commissioners which is the present apointing power. Efforts were made to prevent the pre paration of plans for the Great Lakes naval training station. but an aimend inent was agreed to providing for the employment of a consulting architect the plans and superintendence of the construction of the new buildings not to exceed 3 1-2 per cent. of the limit oA cost of the plant which is fixed *at two millions. The House by a decided vote re-af firmed its faith in the navy depart ment, defeating an amendment of Mr. Tawney, chairman of the appropria tions committee. to limit the repairs on a ship to 10 per cent. of the cost. the vote of confidence comin- after two hours hot debate on the Tawney proposition. Having reached the -ection of the naval bill dealing with increase in the navy and realizing that consid erable debate must ensue the House adjourned. Senator Bailey's Personal Privilege. Senator Bailey took the floor in the senata to make a further explanation of his connection with the efforts te secure an understanding between the president and the Democratic sena tors on the railroad rate bill, basiing his statement on an article in the Chicago Tribune and the New York Tribune, charging him with bad faith in connection and1 giving ex-Senator Chadler as authority for that state ment. lie read a series of letters and memoranda, beginning with a request from himself to the former senator for a copy of any statement that he might have made that justitied this statement. The Rate Bill Again. The consideration of the rate bill in committee of the whole was concluded andl the measures was then reported toi the Senate. where there will be op portunity to review and alter all the amendments heretofore made. Practically the entire day was de voted to the consideration of the anti pass amendment which was adopted after making so many exceptions as to arouse laughiter in the Senate every time the provision was read. The work of the Senate as such was contined to the partial considera tion of the pipe line p~rovisionl, which Morgan piroviso extending its opera tion to other countries where the Unit ed States had jurisdiction. There wvas a sharp colloquey be tween Senators Daniel and Tillmian over arn amendment to tile ant i-pbi5 pro vision. Senator Daniel sought to have the anti-pass amendment so amended :as to include the families of attorneys among those who may receive p~asses and Senator Tillman said that ..\r. Daniel's amendment would make the provision a laughing stock and sumg gested that Mr. Daniel should withI draw his amendment so that ".we cnn get to something else." The Virginia Senator did not necept with favor the characterization ot' his amendment. '"I don 't intend to sit still and listen to the misrepresenta tion of my amenidment in your iln just and passionate manner.'' he said. He had interrupted Mr. Tillman to make this statement and notwith standhing lie spoke in evident an1ger he Southi Carolina Senator appaIrenidyl did not resent what wals said. He replied by calling attention to the fact that his antagonist was proceedin in his time and adding: "I propose to retain the floor and also to retain my te~mper.' Mr. Daniel did not, however, take the hinit to surrender the floor and lie continued his remarks. samving: '"Your manner is rough and insuiit ing to gentlemen with whom you are debating.'' Mr. Tillman still kept his temper and~ yielded the floor to the Virginian ini o'rder that the latter might con tinue his speech. Killed His Nephew. Smiithfield, N. C.. Special.-H';lly 1.
