WASHINGTON. March 15-Th senate
today continued consideration of th rail
road rata question by listening to a report
on the house bill by Mr. Tillman and to a
speech on that measure by Mr. Nelson.
Mr. Tillman's report was read at the re
uuest of Mr. Aldrlch, who said that he
was curious to hoar the opinion of tr
Mouth Carolina senator.
Brief attention was riven to the mes
sage of the president transmitting tht re
port of the secretary of war relative to
tht recent Moro battle. Mr. Haeon spoke o'
the killing of the Mores as "slaughter
and Mr. Lodge deprecated criticism on
the facts should be made.

state Commerce commission authority to

"rnator Tillman's Report.
Senator Tillman today presented to the
senate his report from the committee on
Interstate commerce on tht house railroad
rate bill, which expressed his views, hut
did not pretend to speak for aay other
member of the committee. 1
it embodied thi first Clear and) oonctst
statement of the difference concerning
court review fe-.uure ami other proposed
amendments that l:itl n.arlc a unanimous
report from the ' committee Impossible.
Without hesitancy the senator declared It
to be his belief that the bill should be
amended, but that amendments should
not be of a character to impair or prevent
th accomplishedment of the objections
of the legislation, which are set forth
best he says, in the president's message to
congress. He emphasised thp need of re
girding the. measure "as nonpartisan, ' but
predicted that the Issue created will be
J iramminl In the next presidential Vlso
Ho'. A to the effect he said:
"Th who nre responslhU for delay or
liiodco -H'" legislation will fmd that when
t la' floodgates of popular wrath
and Iml r'ot'nn sre hoisted there will have
been en:'i t'.re grinding done."
Mr. TIHnn prefaced his report by
speaking of the peculiar circumstances
ruling the committee's acrmn on the house
bill, which irii'le it an embarrassing task
to submit views that would be concurred
In by the committee as a whole.
Absence of Harmony.
Comentlng upon the absence of harmony
In the committee's, deliberations the report
says:
Instsad of being amended in committee.
as to usual, so as to command as a wnole
too endorsement ami support of a majority
of its members, the bin was brought into
the senate In a form not entirely aaiisiae
tory to more than two members, l'ariy
lines in the oommlttev were broken down,
and th bill is in. the senate by reason of
the union of five memoeri of tne minority
party and three members of the majority
party in congress wno concurred in report
ing It favorably, and while these eight
senators are agreed as to the general pur
P"83 and scope of the bill, there are radical
dlfrereuoea aiming them as to the amend
ments that ought to be incorporated In it.
Thin luck of harmony among tho sup
porters of the bill It would be speaking
with more accuracy to say the supporter
of th policy Involved in the bill brings
about the anonomalous situation in whicn
a member of the minority party In congress
It put In charge in the senate of a proposed
legislation wnluh is generally regarded
throughout the couutry as the cherished
schema of the president, with whose gen
eral policy and piuiciples that nwm.er
Is not in accord. At the swine time, the
bill is designed to carry into effect his
own long cherished convictions and th
thrice reiterated demands f the party
to which fas belongs.
Legislation Monpnrllsan.
, Hinphaalslng th claim that this condi
tion I without precedent In legislative his
tory. Mr. Tillman says it brings into
prominence the fact that the proposed legis
lation Is nonpartisan, and for this reason
he urged that democrat and republicans
alike should bend all their energies and
lnd all that is best In them to perfecting
and passing so Important a piece of legis
lation.' H declared that "Woe would be the har
vest of any member of the senate or
house whose work In formulating a bill
to regulate railroad lack earnestness or
honesty of purpose and who shall seek to
belitU th question or kill the bill by
subterfuge and deception.
Th bill a It cam from the house, Mr.
Tillman characterised as loosely worded

TUlnian said he can claim to give ex-

broke the silence' which he has maintained
except for his statement, brought from

would be difficult to exaggerate the
atlon produced by his unexpected ap-
nnce and by the speech which he made
he Intensely dramatic character of
whole episode. His face flushed and
voice trembling with passion, his arms
;ised and his lists clenched. Judge 11am-
4 pou'ed forth a flood of denunciation
and tnTectrve upon the members of the
boaro "trustees of the New York Life
Insurn mpany, several of whom were
i present, -.Vslgnating them "curs and
traitors" and paying especial attention to
one unnamed, whom lie described as "the
Pecksniff of three administration, the con
fidant of the Beers scandal and author of
the Beers pension who rotates through
one administration and another and thinks
that he to gitig to be an indispensable
member of another." ,
"And do you think." he demanded, "that

Mr. Beers that I did to Mr. McCall could

know how the expenditures that were made.
were to b and were disbursed? Yet he
and such like him sit, not Judging me as
peers, but judging me as conquerors, talk
ing about 'yellow dogs.' "
Defends John A. MeCall.
The only name he mentioned was thnt
of the late President MeCall, In reference
to whom and to whose death he displayed
Tarked emotion. He spoke of Mr. Mo-
an a8
vlctlm, as having been shoul
dered with the blame "the only one. the
dead man, killed, the man that they drove
to his grave and deserted," and declared
wiai me memory or tnis man had appealed
to him "to come down here and say some
thing for him and just a word for myself.
He declared unequivocally that every pay
ment to himself by the New York Life
was made with the knowledge and ap
proval of the trustees and of the auditing
and finance committees. He pointed out
that If there had been anything the mat
ter with his vouchers it was their duty
to bring him te book for It, yet lie said
inai -ror ten years they passed them, and
then when the cry at last comes out. they
say: 'Well, we did not know anything about
It; this is the fellow, this is the man that
has done it all.' ,
"When they say they did not know what
was going on it excite my laughter and
derision.
Payments Were Proper.

that he had no apology to make for him

that quickly filled the great assembly
chamber as non as the fact of , Judge
Hamilton's presence became known about
tne building broke out with a roar of
laughter, after his referenre to the en
thusiasm with which he said his victories
for the New York Life were received by
the officials of the company. "They would
come and pat nie on the back," he said.
with a bitter sruer. "These men who would
not know me now, they would come In and
pat me on the back and say, 'You did it.'
Pnrpoae.of Jadge 'Hnmlltom.
A storm of applause followed his scathing
reference to the "yellow dog" as a dog of
courage and loyalty. "But the curs who

actions and shrunk into their shoe they.

trusted to the hands and administration of

This was the ostensible purpose of Judge
Hamilton's appearance before the commit
tee to advocate the pending bill of the
committee which would legislate the pres
ent boards of director out of office and
provide for a complete reorganization in
November next.
Judge Hamilton's appearance was totally
unexpected by the committee apd he de
clared both in his speech and to friend be
fore and after It that It was almost as
much so to himself that It was only at
luncheon today that the impulse seised him
to come before the committee and have hli
say In favor of the bill referred to, with 1
word Sot President McCall and for hlm-
elf. He arrived unannounced not long
after 4 o'clock, sat back Jn the room and
for a time was recognized only bv on or
two newspaper men. The interest wa In
tense a he passed down to the platform
amid silence.
Among those who sat near as he began
his bitter arraignment of the New York
Life trustees were the following member
of the board: . .
Rufus 8. Weeks, vice president and ac
tuary; T. A. Buckner, vice president: D. p.
Klngskby, vice president; John O. McCall,

Offered to Man the Old
Scale.
INDIANAPOLIS, March It. The Inter
national executive board of the United
Mine Workers of America at a meeting
held today, following the adjournment of
the national convention, approved the find
ing of President Mitchell In the matter of
ousting Patrick Dolan from the presidency
of district No. 5, western Pennsylvania,
and the report of the board tomorrow will
confirm the 011811110 of Dolan by the con
vention of district No. 6 and the appoint
ment of three members of the executive
board to take charge of the .district affair
until the office is filled by special election.
After a, heated session lasting three
hours. behind closed doom. In which
Dolan's claims were argued by h'mrelf and
Uriah Belllngliam, vice president of the
district, who was also ousted from his
office, the board voted unanimously to sus
tain the action of the president and the
district convention.
Sixteen Handred Delegates Present.
The national convention opened at 10
o'clook today In the German house, with
over 1,000 delegates present, representing
l.ttil locals. The convention has been called
by President Mitchell to consider action
wh,rh majr r"ult Rn agreement with the
coal operators that will prevent a general
strike on April 1, that would bring 25,000
men from the mines. The conference with
the operators will begin here Monday
next. 1
At the regular convention, which as
sembled January 16, the miners had de
manded an Increase in wages of 1!H per
cent, the admission of the southwestern
stales, a 7 per cent differential between
machine und pick mining, a 12H per cent
.vsnee for vnrrta at..i deadwnrk. r.ro-
hlbitlon of employment of boys under IS
years old, an eight hour day, a one year
contract and a run-of-mlne basis.
On Troublesome Resolution.
Th miners also adopted a resolution of
fered by Mr. Ryan of Illinois, that no
district should sign a wage agreement
until all the districts signed. This action,
known ss the Ryan resolution will coin
before the convention for action. Unless
resciiKlc.l t.ie bituminous miner cannot
sign a w:tge agreement until the anthracite
miners nlgn an agreement with their
operators.
The operator on tht other hand, de
manded a reduction of iO to 15 per cent.
Pro,Prtlon Blnst "tampede strikes and a
better system of adjudicating local trou
bles. On February 21 th joint conference
adjourned after the defeat of a motion
that the present wage scale be continued.
This motion was offered by Mr. F. L. Rob
bins of PittslHirg, who was principal
spokesman.. for the -operators.,? All of ths
operators voted for the motion except
the Illinois operators, who did not vote
and all the miners voted against the motion
except Patriok Dolan. who as president
of the district voted the western Pennsyl
vania miners for the motion. He has since
been deposed from office, but has refused
to resigm His esse prouably will come
before the convention.
Hope of Settlement,
It was announced at the time the call
for the present convention was Issued that
Mr. Robbing and other operators had made
an offer to restore the wsge scale of two
year ago, which would be an Increase of
6.66 per cent over the present scale. Since
the publication of that offer, operator
of Indiana, Illinois. Ohio and other states
interested have opposed the granting of
any Increase whatever. It has been the
understanding among miners' officials that
the organization would accept the restor
ation of the wage erale of two years ago.
When the convention met today differ
ences that have appeared co exist between
President Mitchell and Vice President
Lewis were apparently laid aside and it
was the expressed wish of both officials
that personal matters should not Interfere
with the more Important work of the con
ventlon in order that the miner might
present a united front.
The first business of the convention was
the work of organization and the work of
the greater part of the day was taken
up wfth credentials of the delegates.
President Mitchell Talk.
Informally opening the convention Free!
dent Mitchell told of conversations with
Francis L. Bobbins, president of the Pitts
burg Coal company, and other persons, in
which the wage scale was disctuuwd In an
Informal way, having from these conversa
tions derived some hope for settlement of
the trouble. Aside from this hope, he said,
he was justified in calling th present con
ventlon by the rtcelpt
of the following
letter:
THE WHITE HOUSE. WASHINGTON,
Feb. 24. l!0i.-lr: 1 not with great eon
cern the failure in your lat convention on
joint interstate agreement to come to
basis of settlement of the bituminous
mining scale of wages. You, In this busl
ness, have enjoyed a great Industrial peace
for many years, thanks to the joint traoe
agreement tnat naa resulted from the ac
tion of your successive conventions,
strike such as is threatened on April 1
a menace to the peace, (he business Inter
ests and the general welfare of the country
1 urge you to make another effort to avert
such a calamity. You and Mr. Bobbins are
loint chairmen of the trade agreement coin
p tttee of the National Civic Federation.
1 seems to me that tills imposes an aiidi
lional duly upon you both and gives an ad
dillonal reason hy each of you should
Join In making this farther effort.
tSigned) THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
After touching on the responsibility of the
delegates In the matter of making terms, j
or calling a strike, Mr. Mitchell concluded
as follows:
As to the power and scope of the conven
tion you have undoubtedly noted from tne
call wiiirti was issued by your International
secretary-treasurer that, while the principal
purpose of the meeting is to consider our
watce agreements. Its function is not con
fined to ihe one subject. R may. in sdilltien
thereto, transact such other bu.nnei-s as
may Iw lawfully brought before it.
In the consideration and discussion of all
matters coining before the convention It is
my earnest hope that acrimonious debate
would be entirely eliminated and that e
shall stand united in an earnest effort to
serve our people and to secure for them a
larger measure of the fruit of their toils,
thai when we leave Indianapolis our organ
isation, may have reguined any prestige lost
a the result of the International dissension
and that even those on friendly terms to
labor may be satisfied that the United
Mine Worker of America is a sane, jusl,
business association, whose highest purpose
is nix 10 aciiteve victories by means of it

Bent on lynching the three negroes who

ductor Edward Flury, a crowd without a
leader or Enough doterminat'on to carry
out it threats, made a desultory attempt
to break Into the county Jail last night and
take the prisoner by force. . The second
of the outer steel doors on the east side of
the Jail was battered off its hinges, as was
a door ten feet inside, by a pole which the
crowd got down on the street, but when
Deputy Sheriff Haze ordered a handful of
policemen Inside the Jail to resist the crowd
the latter melted and within fifteen minutes
not a man except the thirty-five policemen,
was, on the Jail or courthouse grounds.
Along Harney street, from Eighteenth to
Seventeenth, the crowd swayed back and
forth, yelling and threatening still to get
the negroes and hang them.
Crowd Lncka n Lender.
The crowd In all numbered about 1,000
people, many of whom were spectators and
nothing more. Some of these Were women
with their scortB. The most distinguishing
feature of the crowd was that it lacked a
lender and flxed determination. There
seemed to be a real spirit of anxiety to get
at the three negroes and also the four
youths held for the murder of Nels Laus
ten, the Cuming street saloonkeeper. One
man, a big fellow, carried a rope long
enough to hang several men. He stood In
the background until the crowd, number
ing about 200, mounted the Jail elevation
and surrounded the door on the east.
