In fact, it was thoughtihe senate's actioa today might joaark the beginning of a ,new epocb in the country's history and -the -public interest was fully proportionate to. the action the; senate was to'take. Among the spectators in the galleries were scores of ladies, whose interest: in cur rent matters is. quite as keen, as that of their fathers, husbands and brothers. On the floor of the senate the attend ance was- unusually large' -when the vice president's gavel fell, calling the body to order. Nearly all the members of the appropriations usominitteo, in cluding the chairman, Mr-Allison (la.) , were in their seats. At the conclusion of the morning business, Mr. Halo (Me.) of the appropriations committee quietly rose and said : ' JX report from the' com mittee on appropriations, without amendment, an act to supply urgent de ficiencies for the current year and for other purposes,, and I ask that it be placed on its passage." The bill, which was the measure ap propriating $od,183iOOU, of which $50, 000,000 :is placed at tho disposal" of the president for the national defense, was then, amid aiu intense silence, xead in full. ' At the conclusioa' of the reading, there being :no amendment to the bill, it was 'placed on its passage. Such unanimity as the roll caH. developed was as unusual as' it was significant. Pairs were-broken on. both sides of the chamber in,order that all thosa present might evince their patriotism and de sire to uphold the hands "o f the presi dent in this time of emergency by vot ing directly for the measure. Within 26 -minutes after the senate had convened the roll call had been completed and the vice president had announced that the bill was passed, 76 senatorf vcihigin the affirmative, and notono'inthe negative. As the vice president made his announcement, a slight .ripple of applause ran through the- galleries, but the members of the senate remained calm arid dignified, re pressing all enthusiasm, which, it was evident from, the smiling faces and in tense interest manifested in ey.ery look and gesture, a great majority of them felt. During the roll call it was auth; oritatively announced for every absent senator that if he were present he would vote yea 4 Purchase Nino Warships. (Copyrighted 1803 by New York Journal.) Washingtox, March JO. I , am en abled to present today the most cheer ing news that bas emanated from "Washington since the disaster to the Maine. The state department has in its possession- cable assurance from every minister detailed, to represent, the United States abroad with the excep tion of the German and Austrian repre sentatives, that this country's course in the Cuban question meets with the -unqualified approval from tho govern ments to which the ministers areas signed. This roll of nations was completed to day when. Ambassador Pauncefote, representing GreaHBritain, assured the state department of Great Britain's cor dial sympathy with every thiug.no w be ing done by the United States in the Cuban question. Great Britain's intimation is of the warmest character, explaining, as it does, that asiue from the humanitarian grounds upon which England would not disapprove of interference by the United States,- England's commercial interests with Cuba are of such a char acter that a cessation of the hideous warfare of starvation would be partio ulariy acceptable. Germany and Austria, while- ex tremely disappointing because of their failure to adopt the attitude of the other nations, express nothing in their replies, to the president's inquiry that could be termed hostile. Germany's answer is that it has no opinion to ex press the question is hypothetical in character, and that when the situation described by the hypothetical question arises a definite reply will be sent. This is practically Austria's attitude. The. purchase of the 'nine warships now building in foreign waters for va rious governments has practically been completed and. tho full significance of Commander- Browuson's departure for Europejhas been made clear. The. ordnance, board today set -aside 110,000,006 for equipping these foreign vessels. "When they were ordered built by China, Chile and Brazil guns and armament and munitions were also or dered.. After inspecting the vessels Cpmmander3rownson will examine the equipments, which are understood to feavsbeen completed some time ago. -The $10,000,000, or as much of it as may be .needed, will be spent for that purpose, and whatever sum i3 remain ing will be utilized in fitting out the Paris, St. Paul, St. Louis and New York, as auxiliary cruisers.

The act appiiee specifically to freight whose transit begins and. ends in the state, and there was no effort in' its enactment to control interstate freight.. It affected aU the railroads in the state, and the railroad companies instituted, tbe proceedings whioh were terminated by today's opinion, by filing a bill in the Nebraska circuit court soon after, he law was. enacted. The object oCthe bill was to seoure an order re straining the state officials from pat ting the law into force. The law was attacked on the ground of its constitutionality. It was charged that inasmuch as the act applied to state freights it was chargeable with a discrimination, against them, and there fore antagonistic to the spirit of the 14th- amendment to the constitution. They contended that the maximum rate, fixed was unreasonable and ruin ous to the roads. It was also asserted that, the act interfered, with interstate commerce. The state met all these al legation with argument iri support of theyalidity of the law and also with, the countercharge that the case was one of which the federal courts could not properly take' jurisdiotkHx. The de cision in the circuit court was deliv-' ered by Justice Brewer of the supreme court, who sustained the contention of the railroad companies and held against the validity of the law. His opinion was based largely upon the charge of unreasonableness. He made a com pulation showing that the reduction ef fected in-freight rates amounted on an average to 29 per cent, which he held was too great aabange. The case bas been twice argued in the supreme court, Hon. W. J. Bryan appearing as one of the counsel for the state in the last hearing. Much interest has been mani fested in the decision ever since the case was docketed, because of the prob able influence a result favorable to the law would have upon the legislation in other states Finds ioBjc JLost Daag-ater.
