KING SENATE WILL VOTE FRIDAY Agreement to End General Debate on Bate Bill that Day. AMENDMENTS WILL BE TAKEN UP Each Will Be Dlacasaed Voder Fifteen IHIaste Rale In til Debate la Ex haaated. WASHINGTON, April SO The enate will begin voting on the amendments to the railroad rate bill on Friday, May 4. Aft agreement to that effect was reached today, but It proved impossible to so ex tend the understanding as to have It in clude the fixing of a date for taking a final vote on the bill as a whole. Mr. Tillman first proposed a final vote on May 9, and Mr. Morgan was the only senator to make objection. His opposition was sufficient, however, to frustrate the de sign and the next most feasible course, the disposition of amendments, was de cided upon. The general Impression among senators Is that the final vote will be reached within a week from the time of tho beginning of the considera tion of amendments. Most of the time of the senate today was devoted to lis tening to a speech by Mr. Clarke of Arkansas, he characterized the pending rate, bill as Ineffective In correcting ex isting conditions. ' ' The house bill appropriating $170,000 for the emergency needs of the Navy depart ment at Mara Island and for the postal service at San FranclBco, made necessary by the recent earthquake, was passed by the senate when it convened today. Mr.' Daniel gave notice that tomorrow Ihe would address the senate on the rate bill. A house bill authorizing the Central Canal & Irrigation company to divert waters from the Sacramento river, Cali fornia, was passed. The railroad rate bill was called up by Mr. Tillman and lr. Clarke (Ark.) made a speech on . the measure. Tin speech of Mr. Clarke was directed to the several legislative questions In con troversy. He stated at the outset that In his opinion the pending bill was not in accordance with the demands of the public and If passed the public would get a very bad Impression of the capacity of congress to correct existing evils with the carrier service. The Arkansas senator took up tha sub ject that hud been debated by Messrs. Bailey and Bpooner as to whether congress had the power to limit the granting of pre llmlnary Injunctions and he said that un less some better authority was brought forward than that presented by the Wis consln senator the assault upon Mr. Bail ey's contention could not be upheld. Mr. Clarko said he would not make a whole sale attack upon the Issue of injunctions, fnr he helleved the Injunction to bo a wholesome power, but he wa convinced that congress could say In certain cases preliminary Injunctions cannot be granted. Mr. Clarke contended that congreas had power to Issue preliminary Injunctions in certain casea nnd any, rate bill should go out relieved of the possibility of Judicial Interference with the findings of the com mission. He-also..bo' ,1 that the only Judicial question- Involved in th mutter of rate fixing waa the question of Just com pensation and that the courts could exer cise iurlsdlction on no other point. He thought there should be not only a valua tlon of the roads, but that the compensa tion should be fixed at say per cent. In the cases of tho more valuable roads he would arrive at a correct return by de termlnlng tho value of the property. What would you do with roads that make nothing?" Inquired Mr. Foraker. Turn them' over to somebody that could make money out of them," responded Mr. Clarke. He admitted that there might be cases In which It would be Impossible to find a feasible scheme ot making the road pay the stockholders. Agreement to End Debate. V Mr. Tillman suggested May for the date for taking the vote on the railroad rate bill. The request brought out suggestion from fifteen or twenty senator, but no one made objection to naming a date until Mr. Morgan was heard. He said he would not oppose an effort to fix a day for beginning the consideration of the bill section by ec' tlon, but that he would npt agree to naming a time for the flnul vote. After further discussion unanlmou consent wa secured to have the general debate cease on Thurs. day. May S, and to have the bill taken up by sections with the beginning of the e atnrFYIdtty, with the understanding that fru.'that time forward amendments shall be consldored under the rulo limiting the speechee to fifteen mlnutea In duration, the vote on each amendment to be taken when the debate la exhausted. "Thank the Lord for that!" exclaimed Mr. Frye, with a sigh of- relief,' evidently voicing the aentlnie.it of the entire Senate. After an executive session the sonata adjourned.

" Immediately after the approval of the journal Mr. Olmsted of Pennsylvania pre sented a resolution of thanks on behalf of the people of the United States to Gen eral Horace Porter for hi untiling effort to discover and disinter the body of Ad mlral John Paul June. The resolution was unanimously adopted, with the further resolution that General Porter's speech de livered at Annapolis on the interment o the body of America's first admiral should be printed in the Congressional Record and made a congressional document.
