Shelly of Douglas demonstrated his anti

the approval of the remainder of the Doug

The bill contemplates the appointment
of a board ot live, not more than three of
whom are to be from the aame political

Is that It prohibits the mayor of South

furthermore excludes the city's chief ex

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. In order that
the administration's anti-trust program of
legislation may be rendered entirely sym
metrical, it Is known that President Roose
velt desires that what Is called the Elklns
rebate bill shall be enacted Into a law.
That measure was passed by the senate
lsst week, and Is now pending before the
Interstate and foreign commerce commit
tee of the house, of which Representative
Hepburn (la.) la chairman
During several days the president has
been conferring, ss opportunity offered,
with prominent members. of the house about
the rebate bill, and the subject was con
sidered at a conference at the White House
between President Roosevelt and several of
the leaders, of the house.
The. president alsa bas had a conference
with Speaker Henderson concerning tha
bill. It Is understood that, . while the
speaker Is not wholly in sympathy with
the measure, be will not stand In the way
ot Its consideration by the house.
Indeed, It can be stated upon excellent
authority that the speaker and the commit
tee on rules, of which be Is ex-afncio head.
will authorize. If necessary, a soeclal rule
providing tor the consMeratlon ot the bill,
after It has been reported by Colonel Hep
burn's committee.
Such action. It is. asserted, practically
would mean the passage of the measure by
the house and its enactment Into law.
Agree on Blklas Bill.
The house committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce today agreed to favor
ably report the Elklns anti-rebate bill with
certain amendments. '
The committee recommends an amend
ment to the last paragraph of section S,

the provision will wad: "But no person
shall be prosecuted or subjected to any
penalty or forfeiture for or on account of
any transaction, matter or thing concern
ing which he may testify to' produce e'vl
dence, documentary or' otherwise, in such
proceeding."
The ' committee proposes that section
three be further amended by the adoption
of the following provision: "And provided
that the provisions of an act to expedite
the hearing and determination of suits-In
equity pending or hereafter brought under
the acts of July' 2; 1880, entitled an act
to protect trade and commerce against un
lawful restraints and monopoly, an act to

the Elklns rebate bill and the Llttlefield
bill, which was passed by the houseon
Saturday.
Early In the day the president bad a con
ference with Mr. Llttlefield. The , Utter
Is urging strongly that his' measure be
taken up and passed by the senate. He
maintains' that' while' the Nelson amend
ment provides for publicity aa to some ot
the operations of corporations. It does not
go o far aa his measure goes and not so
far as congress ought to go in tne matter-
Later. Senators Bpooner and Aldrlch Jiad
extended talka with the president about
trust legislation. With other congressional
callers the president discussed the' sub
ject, urging upon all. it Is understood, the
desirability that congress should enact the
Nelson amendment and the Elklna rebate
measure.
It is the consensus of opinion among
members of cobgres that both of- those
measures will be enacted Into few and that
It Is scarcely likely that congress will go
further with- antl-trust legislation at the
present session. '

to the publication ot a rumor in New Tork
that he will resign his position In the
cabinet after the adjournment of congress,
March 4, and resume his la practice In

Compromise Bill la Itendy.
The republican senatorial advocates of a
compromise statehood bill have prepared
their measure, but are holding it back be
cause of the opposition of democratic sen
ators, and also because some of the repub-
cans are not entirely reconciled to the
change.
Cnblnet I Well I'lraaed.
President Roosevelt and his cabinet were
session for nearly an hour and a half
today discussing apong other matters the
chances for anti-trust legislation. The
position of the various bills gave great sat
isfaction.
Secretary Root brought again to the cab
inet's attention the necessity of legisla
tion regarding the currency ot the Philip.
pines.
As viewed by the administration the
necessity for both financial and other
remedial legislation for the Philippines Is
very urgent. Indeed, If something ot the
kind be not accomplished soon, there is
apprehension that Another rebellion may
develop.
The president took up with Individual
members of the cabinet some routine de
partmental matters, but It Is said the con
sideration developed nothing of great consequence.

SPEAKER FAVORS TRUST LAWS
Denies Reports That He .Will Join
Standard Oil Company and
is Opposing; Dills.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The Post to
morrow will publish an interview with
Speaker Henderson with respect to reports
that he la endeavoring to thwart anti-trust
legislation. The reports also said Mr.
Henderson would become attorney for one
of the Standard Oil companies in March.
The speaker said:
"In the first place, I have never known
any person or official connected with the
Standard Oil company, nor do I know of
such official or person now. The only re
lations I ever had with any person con
nected with the Standard Oil company was
some years ago, when I wrote to Mr. Rock
efeller asking him to assist Upper Iowa
university, my alma mater. I think I asked
him to assist in the purchase of an organ.
Mr. Rockefeller, however, declined to as
sist.
"In the eecond place, I know nothing
whatever about any Standard OH amend
ment . before . the conference committee n
the Department' of Commerce bill. The re
ports you mention are entirely new to me.
I have had nothing to do with- any such
amendment.
'I have all along been In favor of anti
trust legislation. I got through the house
long time ago the amendments to the
Sherman law, which have never been com
pleted and enacted into legislation.
"It was at my suggestion that a special
subcommittee was appointed.
"I am prepared to work In complete ac
cord with the president, as I have been In
other matters of legislation."
Tnats Finally Rrirse All After Maek
Trouble with Henry Seas and Sne
reed In "ovine; Kven Malls
nd Daifife.
HAMILTON. Bermuda. Feb. IP, The
Quebec Steamship company's Madlana, New
York, with 100 excursionists on board, went
ashore on the reef off thta island at
this morning.
The ship Is a total loss, but all on board
were rescued and brought safely to land
after a perilous trip In lifeboats to a tug
standing a mile off. Tho malls and the
passengers' baggage also were saved.
According to statements made by those
on board, Madlana was threading Its way
during the night through the narrow chan
nel between the coral reef which eada to
Hamilton harbor, when It struck a reef
one and a half miles east of North rock.
No explicit explanation Is yet forthcoming,
the only information obtainable from the
officers being that the channel light could
not be seen.
I'anaensjers Itnsh on Deck.
All the passengers were In their bunks
when Madlana struck, but the shock awak
ened them and they rushed on deck, the
majority of them without attempting to
dress. Considerable alarm prevailed when
they found the ' vessel hard on, but the
officers calmed them.
A part of the crew did not share the
coolness of the officers, but the latter soon
restored order among the troublesome sea
men.
Madlana listed heavily, and when morn
ing broke lay broadside to the wind. The
passengers were huddled together on the
hurricane deck, the eea breaking over the
steamer, drenching them to the akin.
As soon as the news of the wreck became
known here tugs left to render assistance.
The heavy sea, however, kept them some
distance from the wreck.
For some time no communication with
Madlana was possible.
At 11 this morning the crew of Madlana
launched a toat, which was dashed to
pieces against the steamer's aide. A eec
ond and more successful attempt was, bow
ever, made a little later, when the first
batch of passengers was lowered Into the
boat and after much exertion carried to
the tug Gladlsfen. Madlana's other life
boats were then launched In rapid suc
cession and the remainder of the passen
gers and crew gained aafety.
By the prompt action of Engineer Nelson
who had the bulkheada broken through, the
mails and light baggage were brought In
the last boats to the tug, which landed the
passengers, crew, malls and baggage here
this afternoon.
Joseph K. Crofut of Hartford, Conn
one of the passengers, said:
There was no confusion among the ofll
cers or passengers. The crew, however.
who were mostly foreigners, became dla
orderly at tlrst, but discipline was soon
restored.
