HOW THE SENATE STANDs'oN RAILROAD LEGISLATION Frank J. Stillman, Washington cor respondent for tho Sioux City Jour nal, sent to his paper, under date of November 23, the following dispatch: "Until the president's message has been made public and his railroad rate recommendations are known no accu rate lineup on the question in the sen ate can be made. So far as the com mittee is concerned it is now ninnr that the democrats hold the deciding votes and that there are likely to be but three republicans favorable to the president's- policy, Doliver, Cullora and Clapp. Dolliver anl Cullom have already sought to prevail upon Elkins, Foraker, Kean and Aldrich to line up with the president, but without success. "It is said there are over thirty senators certain to oppose giving any committee ratemaking powers and many of these assert that a bill in corporating such a feature will under no circumstances be allowed to pass. Nobody in Washington believes such a bill will become a law, but the opin ion is general that a compromise bill embodying many reforms and conces sions will pass. Poll of the Senate "A poll of the senate which is thought to bo reasonably accurate is as follows: For the administration bill: Republicans Knox, Pennsylvania; Alice, Delaware; Beverldge and Hem en way, Indiana; Cullom and Hopkins, Illinois; La Follette, Wisconsin; Nel son and Clapp, Minnesota; Allison and Dolliver, Iowa; Warner, Missouri; Long, Kansas; Burkett, Nebraska; Gamble, South Dakota; Hansbrough and McCumber, North Dakota; Carter, Montana; Clark, Wyoming 20.

Against the administration bill: Republicans Frye and Hale, of Maine; Burnham and Gallinger, New Hampshire; Proctor and Dillingham, Vermont; Lodge and Crane, Massa chusetts; Aldrich and Wetmore, Rhode Island; Bulkeley and Brande gee, Connecticut; Piatt and Depew, New York; Kean and Dry den, New Jersey; Penrose, Pennsylvania; El kins and Scott, West Virginia; Fora ker and Dick, Ohio; Alger and.
