WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-The agreement
o fth esenate reached shortly after S
o'clock to vote at 1:30 p. m. tomorrow upon
the resolution to unseat Senator Ixirimer of
Illinois and to make "unfinished business"
of the hill to rreate a permanent tariff
board, materially Improved the legislative
situation. This improvement does not by
any means wipe out the probability of an
extra session of ocngress," but it gave a
ea of hope, which was seised upon eagerly
by the advocatea of Canadian reclprocit.
The storm clouds which hung menacingly
low through an all-night session last night
lifted materially late today and when an
adjournment waa taken shortly after 8
o'clock until II o'clock tomorrow there
was promise of a further celarlng of the
legislative skies.
After a day of constant search for a
basis of agreement and amid a scene of
extraordinary Intensity of Interest and evi
dent mutual Inspiration the pro-Lorlmer
senators, most of them oppoaed to the
tariff board, and the pro-tariff board sen
ators, most of them opposed to Ixjrlmer,
"got together" In a manner which cleared
the situation and obviated the Impending
danger ot another night session.
So there will be a vote tomorrow after
noon on Senator I,orlmer's case and there
is little reason to doubt that It will sus
tain Lorlmer.
Tariff Board Haa Chance.
The tariff board proposition is at least
In a materially Improved position. The
vote of 53 to 21, by which It was made
the unfinished business, would Indicate
that should It come to a vote the bill
would be passed by a substantial majority.
Some go so far as to say It will receive
the entire republican vote of the senate.
Senator Hale gave notice he would attempt
to put five appropriation bills through the
senate tomorrow afternoon and evening.
These are the agricultural, postofflce, dip
lomatic and consular, the fortifications and
the military academy supply measures. -
It was said as a part of the arrange
ment clearing up the situation, it prac
tically waa agreed that the' proposed In
creased rates on postage on the advertis
ing sections of the largo magazines would
be dropped from the postofflce bill, ending
the possibility of a filibuster on that meas
ure. It also was said some other seriously
controverted Items In appropriations bills
likely to cause delay would be eliminated.
If Senator Hale's program Is carried out
tomorrow, and there Is every reason to
believe It will, the senate will be left only
with the sundry civil, the naval and the
general deficiency appropriation bills to
dispose of. Th senator from Maine warned
senators that unless they acted on the ap
propriation measures there would be a
strong chance that many of the Important
Items of these would eventually come In
extra session from a democratic house.
F.ilrs Session Still Probable.
No senator was so sanguine over the Im
proved legislative, situation as to predict
that the probability of an extra session
had lessened materially. Many of them
were "hoping" that such would prove to
be the case. If all of the appropriation
bills should be carried Into law, the only
extra session factor that would remain
to be disposed of is Canadian reciprocity.
The situation with regard to this agree
ment cannot be said to have changed, un
less It profits, as some hope It will, by the
clearing away of other matter, leaving
reciprocity to stand on Us own merits.
Although made the unfinished business
of the senate by a decisive vote, the per
manent tariff board bill cannot be said
to "off the rocks."
The democratic vo'te was almost solid
sgalnst the advancement of the measure
and Senator Money ,of Mississippi, while
pleading with senators to adjust their dif
ferences and avoid an extra session, de
clared he waa prepared to wage a long
fight against the tsriff board. He did
not think, however, that aenators should
let the tariff board Interfere with other
business. ,
There appeared to be somewhat more of
a disposition, however, to bring reciprocity
to a vote.
Yannsr Wants Vote.
Senator Toung of Iowa pleaded with sen-
1 ator " to face the measure squarely and
Tio vote so'ldly against It."
Mr. Toung seemed psrtlcularly anxloua to
bring the "Insurgent aenators to a 'show
down.' " as he expressed It, on the reci
procity bill. He accused them of being re.
sponsible for It because of their maledic
tions against the Payne-Aldrlch bill.
Th advocates of reciprocity took hope.

would at least decide that the arbitrary is I
too nign ana discriminatory as compared

bridges of like character, and this would

Value of Service

Equity of Charges
Interstate Commerce Commission Lays
Down New Principle in Case Involving-
Freight Rates.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. A notable prin
ciple was laid down today by the Interstate
Commerce commission In a decision of the
case of the railroad commissioners of Iowa
against the Illinois Central railroad and
other carriers. In brief the commission
holds:
"The net revenues of a carrier have often
an undoubted and Important bearing on the
question of the reasonableness of its rates,
but the fact that they are greater than the
returns on ordinary business enterprises is
not sufficient In Itself to justify a finding
that the rates are excessive. The value of
th service and other factor-1 that enter
Into tt.e construction of rates must also be
taken Into consideration." ,
In this case the complainant urged that
3 cents, charged by the defendant lines for
the transportation of passenger over the
bridge of the Dunleitit Dubuque Bridge
company, between Dunleith or East Du
buque, In Illinois and Dubuque in Iowa,
was excessive and discriminatory.
The commission holds that the rate Is
not excessive, "when viewed from the
standpoint of all the carriers participating
in the traffic."

POPULAR ELECTION DEFEATED
Senate Refuses to Pass Joint Resolu
tion by Vote of 54 to 33.
MR. BACON ATIEMPTS TO AMEND
Georgia Senator Makes Last F.ffort to
Bender Measure Acceptable to
Southerners. But Effort Is
Haled Ont of Order.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. The senate to
day defeated the resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution to provide
that aenators be elected by direct vote of
the ieopl. A fight had been made by the
supporters of tho measure as was Indi
cated by the vote.
Fifty-four senators stood for the resolu
tion and thirty-three against it. Though
this division showed so large a majority In
favor of popular elections the number was
not sufficient by four to carry the measure
whnh renulrfd m tuo-thlrds tote. ,
"Immediately after the reading ot the
journal the popular vote resolution was
taken up. So long had the resolution been
before the senate and so carefully had the
membership been canvassed by Its support
er and It opponents tl.at It was recog
nized from the moment the question was
brought up that It would go down In de
feat. . Though It had been understood that de
bate would be shut off on the measure
when called up. Senator Bacon, who de
terminedly has opposed the resolution as
altered under the riutheiiand amendment
placing the control of the elections In the
hands of congress, hoped to have an
amendment adopted that might render the
measure acceptable to some o ft he south
ern senators. The Georgia senator's effort
waa to provide that federal supervision
of the elections should apply only In those
states wherein the legislatures had failed to
designate the manner and method of hold
ing the elections.
Vice President Hherman ruled the Haeon
amendment out of order and the roll call
was begun. It was followed with deepest
Interest. For a moment It was thought
tho calculations would be upset, for when
Benator Galllnger'a name was reached tils
answer was "aye." Ixoks of surprise were
exchanged by many senators, for the long
debate on the question had developed no
more Inveterate enemy to the resolution
than the New Hampshire senator. The
clerk had received several more responses
before It occurred to Mr. Gallinger that
something was wrong. He arose In some
haste and had tils name shifted to the

j stock yards hill hs It was amended In con
feti'iiee tins morning was put on general
j file hy the senate this afternoon, and unle
some senators change their votes, will be
passed. The Tnv lor-Polefal hill was simi
larly placed by the house. The GUIs bill
as amended leaves n penalty, puts the
stock ynnls under the control of the rail
way commission, but cuts out the provisions
for a physical vatunt'on.
The nil prising feature of the bill may
develop to the sorrow nf the slock yards
If they are In truth opposed to a physical
valuation. Is that under lis provisions the
railway commission might order a physical
valuation as a part of lis advisory control.
It Is an open question whether or not tassy
could do this, but It Is very much more
probable that they could than thst any .
court order would be Issued to stop them.
An actual physical valuation then Is by
no means su 'inposlblllty under the pro
visions of the bill.
When the bill was taken up In the com
mittee of the whole there was p. loud Jangle
over the rules of procedure, as the senate
arose from s former committee meeting
without deciding Just what was to be done
with the bill. Finally the Ollls amendment.
'Ich was nothing but a complete revision
of the bill as oilis and I'lucek had ar
ranged It, was Introduced.
Albert Aualiiat Penalties.
Senator Albert moved as a substitute a
more ambiguous bill and one that provided
no penalties except by a provision to ex
tend over the atock yards the pen titles
against common caivlers for violating or
ders of tlie railway commission. This wss
supported by Albert In a speeen of some
length in which he urged moderation and
consideration for the commercial Interests
of the state.
O'lls spoke In favor of Ills bell nnd was
siconded bv Sktles and Hoaglaml. Hoag

forceable and Inconsistent. Th Albert
amendment was. then lost bv a standing
