BUT IT MAY CHANGE TO HOB*
TILITY IN THE SENATE.
ACTIVITY IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Long and Short Haul is a Subject of
Much Controversy in the Upper
Branch.
Washington—Under a flag of truce,
hostilities between the conservative
and progressive republicans of the
senate over the administration rail
road bill have ceased temporarily.
They will be renewed probably when
Senators Cummins and Dolliver re
turn Thursday from Iowa, where they
have gone to open the campaign. Sen
ator Aldrich is expected to return
from H. t»4e Island Tuesday. If he
should «u:.-mpt to precipitate a vote
on ary important amendment Sen
ators I-aFo’>tte and Clapp will under
take to Ik. d the floor*
Meanwhile the White Honse will
be the scene of the real activities.
President Taft having undertaken to
bring into line some of the so-called
“near insurgents” whose attitude on
the railroad bill has been a matter of
doubt. That work was begun Satur
day and it was claimed that Senators
Gamble and Crawford of South Dako
ta would join the forty-five regular
republicans previously canvassed,
making the necessary “all republican
majority” for the administration
program
While an understanding was
reached in the house that the vote
on the railroad bill would be taken
Tuesday. It now seems certain that
the democrats will seek to have the
bill recommitted with instructions
that the sections be eliminated. The
vote, it is conceded, will be close.
In the senate the long and short
haul provision is the immediate sub
ject of controversy, but is receiving
little more attention than the stock
and bond sections which come fur
ther along in the bill and which are
far more puzzling. The president and
the attorney general are pressing for
their retention and, inclined to ac
cede to their demands, the regular re
publicans will make a stand for the
sections. Some of the regulars, how
ever. would bo pleased if they were
eliminated.
Among those who are understood
to doubt the wisdom of their reten
tionare Senators Aldrich, Elkins and
Root, ail of whom concede the possi
bility of legal complications over
their conflict with state laws. They
are not disposed to yield, however,
and Attorney-General Wickersham
is represented as being willing to
vouch for the validity of the provis
ions.
No especial effort is being made to
bold republicans in line against the
long and short haul amendment. It
is generally recognized that local con
ditions are such that many of the
senators from the interior states can
not avoid supporting this provision.
But the regulars count confidently
upon making up among the democrats
the losses on their own 6lde of the
chamber.
Test of Hog Cholera Serum.
Washington.—Senator Burektt had
a further conference with the chief of
the bureau of animal industry to close
plans to test the new hog cholera
serum In Nebraska. The department
favors the stock yards at South
Omaha as the place, and between July
1 and 15 as the time to conduct ex
periments. It will require about thirty
head of hogs, weighing from forty to
100 pounds each. Senator Burkett
has taken the matter up with inter
ested parties in Nebraska and at the
stockyards to secure facilities for
test.
RAILROADS ADJUST RATES.
Lines East of Mississippi May Raise
Tariff July 1.
Washington.—A rate readjustment
is being made by all interstate car
riers in the territory between the
Mississippi river and the Atlantic sea
board. The routes included are the
water-and-rail, as well as the standard
and differential lines. It is understood
the increased rates will become ef
fective about July 1. The desire of
the carriers is. of course, to anticipate
tne passage of the pending railroad
bill.
Famous Detective Dead.
New York.—Thomas F. Byrnes, for
merly superintendent of police of the
city of New York, but more famous
for his work in the detective bureau,
died at his home from chronic indiges
tion after an illness of more than two
years. He was 65 years old.

est sorrow to the nation, in whose
hearts Edward first as prince of
Wales and afterwards as sovereign,
held first place.
Edward VVI’s short reign of nine
years and four months has been a
history of stirring times. It opened
with the conclusion of peace after a
long and trying campaign in South
Africa, and concludes at the critical
moment of one of the momentous po
litical struggles of modern times be
tween the peers and commons. In a
day the political outlook of Great Brit
ain has been revolutionized.
Gathered around the bedside of the
dying king was the queen and princ
ess. No hope had been held out
throughout the day for the recovery
of his majesty, whose death, it is be
lieved. was due to pneumonia, fol
lowing bronchitis contracted shortly
after his return from Biarritz.
Only a day or two ago the king
was conducting the business of state
and giving audiences, but on Wed
nesday he was compelled to submit to
the orders of his physicians. Since
then until the end bis decline was
rapid.
The prince of Wales succeeds to
the crown immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without offi
cial ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his father's death,
in pursuance of custom. His tele
gram read:
"I am deeply grieved to inform you
that my beloved father, the king,
passed away peacefully at 11:45
o’clock tonight (Signed) George.”
The physicians soon afterward Is
sued their official bulletin, which was
as follows:
“May 6—His majesty, the king,
breathed his last at 11:45 tonight in
the presence of her majesty. Queen
Alexandra, the prince and princess of
Wales. Princess Royal, the duchess of
Fife. Princess Victoria and Princess
Louise, the duchess of Argyll. :
(Signed.) Laking, Reid, Powell, Daw
son.” _
King Careless About Health.
Vienna—Dr. Ott, King Edward’s
physician at Marienbad, in an inter
view said: "The king's age and habits
involved more danger In bronchail ca
tarrh than with ordinary cases. Gen
erally speaking, the king's constltu- j
tion would be considered healthy and {
robust, but his majesty would not
take care of himself."
Roosevelt’* Visit to England.
London.—If Mr. Roosevelt s visit to
England Is carried out it will be shorn
of all display. Telegrams from Ber
lin say that the German emperor will
proceed to England and that Mr.
Roosevelt's visit to Berlin must be
postponed.
Coweta. Okl.—J. M. Ashworth, a
farmer, and an unidentified boy were
killed on a farm near here early hy a
tornado. Several farmers were seri
ously hurt and half a dozen houses
were blown down.
Condolences of President Taft.
Washington.—President Taft upon
learning of the death of King Edward
wrote the following message of con
dolence to her majesty. Queen Alex
andra. which was cabled to Bucking
ham palace: “On the sad occasion of
the death of King Edward I offer to
your majesty and to your son. his
illustrious successor, the most pro
found sympathy of the people and of
the government of the United States,
whose hearts go out to their British
kinsmen in this, their national be
