THE PRESIDENT EXPLAINS The President in a Statement, Explains His Apparent Change of Front on aRtc Question. Washington. Special.?The sensational rate hill incident in the Senate Saturday during which Mr. Tillman, on the authority of former Senator Chandler, made statements regarding the President's course in connection with pending ra:lroad rale legislation, one o'* which statements wiw denied by Mr. I.odge on behalf of the President, had it- sequel this evening when an ollieial statement was issued by the White House, giving an aeeount of the subject on the part of the President and Attornev tumoral j M oody. The statement comprised I two letters, one from the President to Senator Alison ami the other from Atorney (ieuernl Moody to tin1 President, both dated the 14th. The President says. "In no ease, either in the ease of Mr. t'handler or any one else, wa ft here the slightest oportuuity for any honest misconception of my attitude or ntiv belief that 1 nled-roil invsoil' specifically to one and only one amendment or set of amendments ,or thnt I would not lie satisfied with an\ ameiulinent which preserved the essntinl features of the Hepburn bill as it eanio from the House.'* The President says that as to many of (hi amendments, including the socalled Long. Overman. Bacon and Spoonee aiuendmcns, lie said he should be entirely satisfied to have them in the bill, and suggested modifications as to other amendments, lmt that 'as to none (of the amendments) did I ever say either to Mr. t'handler or to any one else that I should insist upon having them in the bill as a ctaidition of my approval." and tint? on the contrary he (tin; President) was careful to state that lie was not trying to dictate any particular prngiamine of action. The President says the statements made to Senator ('handler were the same in substanee as those made to Mr. Allison ami other Senators of both parties. He said he was asked t see Senator Chandler as the representative of Mr. Tillman in change of the hill and that the conferences Attorney Hcncral Moody had with Senators Tillman 'and Bailey were such as had been held with many other Senators to determine the phraseology and discuss the effect ot amendments proposed by them. The President states that he became convinced thai ii \\:is iiiioiix!Iil?> sn... ators. * * witli nilviuitto use him of. nu iult iniodiary and sn?o;esied to nil to whom lie spoke thai they communicate with Senator Allison, whose purpose and the President's were 4' identical.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS j What is Being Done Day by Day By the National House and Senate. Senator Daniel Concludes. In the Senate Senator Daniel concluded his speech on the railroad rato i-i.i. i/atcing up I he question of the extent of the review to he h:ul by the courts in rate eases ami repeating briefly his objections to Mr. Bailey's proviso l'or tin* non-suspicion by the com Is of the ovders ol' the interstate commerce commission, lie said | he <li?l not agree with those who eon- I tcmlcti thai there was no other way of I protecting the int rests of the shipper. In eases where ihe courts have suspended the rates of the commission, Mr*. Daniel suggested thai a substantial bond he reuuired of the railroads lie took issue with statements that a review would mean re-trial so far as the taking of testimony was concerned, for lie declared that the inter-State commerce commission was the nn-st renpvtent tribunal to take icli Us-iinony. Admitting that the hill was fa." from complete, he said it would provide for a swift hearing before such a tribunal and that was positive, verifiable progress in I lie right direction. Defining <hc terms "just compensation" and t( reasonable rates." Mr. Daniel adopted the former expression a> broadly covering what a rate should be. Second Section Completed. The Senate completed the consideration of the second section of the railroad rate bill and just, before the adjournment listened to reading of seel ion.; d and 4 without considering | i? > ameuuments ottered to (hem. The 1 >11 !'j ose oi' this reading was to l?ririsr j the consideration of the hill up to i the point of taking up the Allison I compromise amendments. A number ol' very important changes were made in the second seclion, including a provision restoring the imprisonment penalty of the act of 1HS7, and an amendment suggested by. Senator McCumber imposing a pi unity of title and imprisonment ' against the shippers who secure rehates from transportation companies. The latter amendment 'vns incorporated for the avowed purpose of bibting the trusts. Another amendment adopted was offered by Senator Warren. It gives the government business a preference over all other traffic in time of war. A long series changes also were made at the instance of the inter-State commerce e mliiission. Many of these were verbal, and all were intended lo improve the administrative features of the law. Six Propositions Agreed On. <' inferences in the Senate which resulted in positive agreements on .a |m<-|?>^i(iimi?s u> iic incorporated in tin* \!lis<>n anv-udmctd to the railroad l>iil were ratified by additional oonl< i nee- of Somite loaders reprosenti11b'epublican faolions.
