TAMC AIlOtIT TIUJSTS. Kansas City Star : The experience of tin New York Investigating comnilttco with tin officials of the American Sugar Rollnerlc company Indicates that thu incutnl slialn In Tolved In the organization of a trust Impair the powers of memory to a very terlouB do grco. I'hlladulphla ' Hccoid- The cheapening o Kir-el rails means more than a saving to thi railroad companies. It means Mtady worl hereafter for the steel-making Industries the removal of many worn out tiaeks whlcl should have been relald sooner , dlmlulshci liability to accidents and Increased com fort and safety for all tiuvulcrs. Lonver ) Republican ! The Lcxow com mltteo of the Now York legislature which L investigating the Sugar trust has brought ti light much evidence showing a eomblnatloi on the part of the members of the titust ti control the market and maintain a high prlci for sugar. Such conspiracies against tin interests of Iho people should be dostioei whenever possible and the men engaged li them should bo to severely punished thai their fate would bo a warning to others , o Ilka disposition. Minneapolis Journal : The price of stoe rails Isn't llkoly to got up to $2S again. Tei jears ago It was $40 , but all the Ingonult ] of a pool couldn't maintain n price whlcl the public refuse to pay. The atool ral pool collapsed Just because It couldu' get the public to pay $25 a ton for rails , ant It Isn't likely that there will be a furthei attempt to raise the price to that figure If there Is It will fall. American rail mill ! can now undersell English mills , and then la no doubt American rails will hereattei be sold "argely In countries where Engllal ratio < -"ly have been used. TIIK SHATTKKKIJ 1'OOIj. Buffalo Express- Steel rails sell In Englam at $24 n ton. With Iho American price si low as It now Is , It Is not astonishing tha Amni leans should have secured the contrac for 13,000 tons of rails for Japan agalns Englleh bidders , nut what keeps the Eng llsh price up to the old American trus prlco ? Is steel-rail manufacture In Englaui controlled by a trust ? Globe-Democrat : The Increased purchase of steel rails caused by the collapse of th pool nro still kept up. Prices have advance1 in the pnet two or three days , but the lln at which they rested before the big dro ; took place will not be touched. A wrecl In the rest of the trusts would also cans a great Impetus to trade In their respectlv fields. The republicans In their forthcomlnj tariff bill must Keep the fact constant ! ; In mind that the people expect them to hi the trusts wherever they can. Kansas City Star : The dissolution of tin filed rail trust has resulted In a consliler able falling off in the prlco of rails , but I his also cousocl a phenomenal Increase litho the demand and a vast enhancement of tin volume of business. Ilallroads nro buylni now when under old conditions they wouli have worried along for a year or two will the old troika , and the result Is that mllli are In operation and men nt work In vnrloui ways and places who were Idle before Thi compntltlon which follows the natural con dltlons Is that which gives life to trade , am If all the trusts were dissolved and othei artificial restialnts on trade removed busl ness would ho better and Industrial life litho the country more healthful and active.

WASHINGTON , ! ? . 10. The senate ad- Journcd at S.13 o'fiqck tonight , after hav ing spent almost eight hours in continuous executive session on the arbitration treaty. No result was accomplished bejonJ voting down the motion made > esterday by Senator Nelson to postpone further consideration ol the treaty until March 5. Senator Sherman made repeated efforts during the day to se cure a vote on ratification , or to get thi senate to fix a day and hour when It would agree to votb upon the treaty. Ho was de feated In both purposes , and when the senate nt last adjourned because of the absence ol a quorum ho did not say whether ho would make another effort tomorrow or again this session to secure further consideration , but It Is generally supposed that he will renew the imotlon for an executive session tomor row. The feeling among the friends as well as the opposition ot the treaty Is that any effort to secure at vote will bo futile. The advocates of postponement were some what disappointed In the size of the ma jority developed against them on Mr. Nel son's motion , but they say the vote Indicated no more for the treaty than against It , PS several senators who opposed ratification voted against postponement on the theory that It could be defeated by a direct \ote at this time. Senator Sherman also ralllo'l ' many of the friends of the treaty , who had heretofore advised postponement. Including Senators Allison and Fryo , both of whom had given It as their opinion yesterday that It would bo vvlso to defer further considera tion until the next session. Speeches favorable to the treaty and to t vote were made by Senators Frye , LoJg ( and Lindsay. The vote on the motion tc postpone was taken at G o'clock nnd rcsultcc In the negative , 20 tr > 30. After this vote there was no quorum and the time wasapenl In an effort to secure one. The doors had no sooner been closed on the public at 12.30 o'clock than Senator Nelson began an earnest ap peal to the senate for the adoption of his motion to postpone the treaty until March 5. Ho said that ho spoke as a friend ot the treaty , hut that he was convinced from what ho had seen and heard slnco the discussion was begun that final action was out ot the question at this session. He admitted that his special interest In having the treaty go over wan to give tlmo for the bankruptcy bill , for the passage of which , he said , there was a crying demand from all parts ot the country. TELLER TALKS. Senator Teller mpported the motion te postpone In a brief speech. Senator'Platl took the oppot'Ito view , urging prompt action Ho said that while the treaty was new , the subject of arbitration ! 5vao old , and the coun try was fully preparedto , accept with favoi the senate's ratification of the present docu ment. Senator Teller HaB'very ' vigorous In hie opposition to the itreaty. He reiterated the points made In his- statement published lasl Monday morning. Besides , he added , the more the treaty was- discussed the more necessary It becaili'e to postpone in order te give proper consleUrallon to such a "bungllnp document. " No orje , lie declared , could tell what it meant and'eould construe Its provi sions. Ho would not say that ho could sup port the treaty , but in ita present form and on account of the lack of consideration , he should certainly vote against It. DANIEL OPPOSES. Senator Daniel of Virginia made a stronp speech against the .document. He was op- pcsed to It on several grounds. He de clared that under It the United States bouni ! lUelf with shackles * . "I love the blood ol the revolution , " declared he , "War Is often a good thing. Revolution Is often progicrs The senate has never declared war unjusti fiable. For twenty years this country lite made'a record of peace. The United Statcc has never acquired territory by war , ex cept in a war of self-defense. " On the other land , the senator pointed out that the whole method and scheme of England was acquisi tion. Ever grasping and greedy , always reaching out for more territory , the only na tion she feared , the only nation with strength to cope with her was the United SUtes It wag the purpose of this treaty to bind the United States to peace. With the shacklco on thla country England could continue her spoliation of weaker nations , and when she Interfered with what was corsldered the rights of the United States or countries under stir protection arbitration would step in with i hostile tribunal agilnst us. The senator aid ho opposed giving away the rights of the senate as a part of the treaty making power To submit many questions to arbitration would bo Impolitic. We had always had good presidents , but como time there might be a sad one Then the country would suffer Senator Daniel also opposed selecting Judges if the supreme court as members of the tribunal Ho objected to mixing our judl- : lary with foreign complications , besides , submitted might como r > mo of the questions jcfore our courts. Ho also Insisted that the Jnlted States members of the tribunal should jo confirmed by the senate. HOAR ASKS QUESTIONS. At the close of Senator Daniel's speech , Scn- itor Hoar submitted some quc&tlons to him. lo wanted to know It Senator Daniel did not .hlnk it satisfactory that men who had been ronfinmed to such places as judges of the upreme court should alt as arbitrators with- nit again being confirmed by the senate. Mr Daniel replied that he did not believe ho senate should abate one Jot of Ita power n questions so vitally affecting the welfare if the country. Senator Hoar argued that It would bo 1m- lOEalblo lo find men In whom so much con- Idenco was reposed ns In these composing ho greatest tribunal of the world the United itates supreme court. Senator Lindsay followed Senator Daniel k'lth a legal argument , Intended to refute the 'Irglnla senator's contention that the ratlfi- : atlon of the treaty would result In the ah- llcatlon of the treaty-making power of the enate. He argued that the senate would urrendor nothing by accepting the treaty nd that It would do much to promote the auso of peace throRhout the world.

Senator Sherman repeatedly announced hla determination to Insist upon the severest methods to compel the attention of a workIng - Ing majority , nnd toward the last a motion prevailed to arrest and bring In absentees. The scrRcant-at-ar.ns bad , however , not com- vleted the preparations of his warrants , when * motion to adjoin n , made by Senator Oal- iliiRcr , n friend of the treaty , was carried. Only thirty-four senators had ansv.-ered to their names on the previous roll call , anil Mr , Galllnger said It was Idle to hope for A quorum. Senator Sherman apparently acquiesced In this view.

WASHINGTON , Feb. ID A very spirited d b&te on the general subject of the payment of claims , found to be duo against the United States , was Indulged In by the house toili ) during the consideration ot the general dtfl- cl ncy appropriation bill , which was entered upon this morning. Mr , Richardson of Ten- iicasco had called attention to the apparent Incf nslfltcncy of an Item to pay the costs ot defending suits , and ( ho fact that the bill coitalncd no Item to pay the Judgments , This furnished Mr. Walker ot Massachu setts , a text for a lively speech against the "niggardly" and "dishonest" policy ot the government , and a severe arraignment of the committee on rules for the tyranny It was said to exercise over the proceedings ot the hoiisc. Mr. Groavcnor of Ohio , canui to the defense of the committee , warmly declaring that the house had made rules and should abide by them. No one , he said , would icsont the c\crclso of power not conferreJ on the committee moro bitterly that li % . Mr , Mahon of Pennsylvania , chairman of tnc war claims committee , made the statement tint the house had been frightened by a "boglo man" and the Juat claims against the government , Instead of aggregating hundreds of millions , as was frequently stated , could bo d'achar ed with ton millions The consideration of the bill was not completed. The bill carries $8,441,027. The house again today stood by the polio ) adopted a few days ago In the case of the widow' ot Major General Stoneman In fitlng the rate of her pension at ? 50 per month , bj rejecting a conference report , granting a pension of $75 to the widow of Major General Joseph H. Carr. An effort was made bj Mr Cannon to fix a limit for debate on the general deficiency appropriation bill under consideration. Mr Grow , republican of Pennsylvania , however - over , declined to agres , and when the noun again-went Into committee , ho secure * ! the noor In his right He proceeded to discuss the free homes bill , which was pocketed b > the committee- public lands. He spoke .eellngly of bte part In the passage of Un original homestead act of ISfiJ Tor ten yeirs he had advocated that measureIn sea son and out of season , and ho saKl ho could not allow this session to clcsn Ithout callIng - Ing attention to the fate of the flee homes bill , now slumbering In the commutes. Mi- Grow spoke for an hour. General debate was then closed , but an agreement was .cached to allow one and n half hours on c side for debate on the Southern Pacific Item ATTACKED BY RICHARDSON The Itema apprporlatlng money for the ptj- mcnt of special attorney fees for defending the Interests of the United States In the c-ourt of claims wcie made the basis ot an ittack by .Mr. Richardson , demon at of Ten nessee , on the pollcv of the government paj- Ing the attorney , but declining to niy the Judgment of the court , when It was against the United States. Ho argued that the ap propriations committee should have Included an appropriation to pay the findings umlei the Bowman act ( amounting to about $900.- 000) ) . This opened up the whole question ? f ' n0 < la > mont ° r J"st claims , and led Mr.alker , republican of Massachusetts to make a bitter aa = ault upon the executive methods adopted to prevent consideration of Juat claims. "In God's name , " he exclaimed "how are wo to get our rights ? " Mr. Sayeis , democrat of Texas , created o Hugh by icplylng that the icpublleans had the power to change the rules. Ho branded the rules of the house ns n system of tyrannj ami ilcsciibed how members who sought thf committee en rules In the Interest of bill i/ero allowed to "cool their heels" while one member of tint eommlttoj Intimated that the members were "boring" him. With Inipasslone 1 speech he denounced the system Ho declared that our treatment of our cred itors has become a national scandal. It was the duty of the wajs and means com mittee , he- said , to prepare a tariff blU tint v.ould raise sufilclent icvenuo to pay the gov- ornmcnt dobts. .Many of the claims wow old. but they would bo much older before they weio paid , unless there was a radical change of policy. Mr. Mahon , republican of Pennsjlvanla followed In the same line. He said the house for years had been terrorized by a bogie man. " They were told that it would rcquiio hundreds of millions to pay the claims agalnnt the government , once the pol icy of paving them was entered upon. Ho said ho had made a careful examination of all elaiirn since the war and they amounted to $1 000,000. With $10.000,000 more a com mission could wipe out every Just claim Of the millions of claims filed , the court had allowed but 8Vi per1 cent. The house either should pay the claims or abolish the court of claims GROSVENOR DEFENDS THE RULES. Mr. Grosvenor defended the rules of the house. He repudiated the assertion that the house had not the power to execute Its will. That might bo a plausible excuse to these who sought to evade their responsi bility. The only tyranny hero was the in ertia of the house Itself. So far as the payment of the government's Just obligations was concerned , ho felt as Mr. Mahon did , but ho Insisted that there was no rule Uiat strangled action if the house was ready for action , Mr. Grosvenor vent to point out as an Instance that today. If they had been 30 disposed , a majority of the house might have proceeded with the private calendar Instead ot takl.ig up the deficiency bill , Mr. Hoatner , democrat of Louisiana , thought It was about tlmo to throw- off the disguise in the matter of southern war ilalms , The other aide , ho said , refused to Ijellcve In the loyalty of the claimants. Mcssia. Meredith , democrat of Virginia ; Tracy , republican of Missouri , and Shaf- troth , republican of Colorado , also partici pated In the debate. Mr. Cannon , In closing the discussion , said lie did not nilnd the "scold" of the gentlo- nan from Massachusetts , but ho would call ittention to the fact that the hoiiko mndo the rules and the speaker would bo remiss In hH duty to the house If ho neglected to Insist upon ruling out amendments 'which lid not como within tha rule Without completing the consideration of the bill tlio house , at 5 o'clock , adjourned until 8 p. in. , the evening session to bo demoted meted to private pension bills.
