Washington, D. 0„ March G.—Sena tor Tlllmnn reported the Hepburn railroad rate bill Inst week and now the fight Is on In the Senate. Senator Foraker, who Is recognized ns the ablest opponent of government rate-making, was the first to make a set speech on the hill In the Senate. He said that Congress has not power to make rates and predicted that the Supreme Court will so hold If tlie question over goes before It. Senator Foraker called attention to the fact that the committee which recommended the Hepburn bill to the House acknowledged that It was un satisfactory even to those who desired rate legislation, and yet it wns not being demanded that the bill be passed without amendment. He pre dicted that such action would be dis appointing to the whole country as well as an abdication of lawmaking functions on the part of the Senate. “The gross revenues of the roads are so closely calculated to meet In terest, dividend and operating ex penses," he said, “that a reduction of one mill on the cost of transporting a ton of freight per mile would so re duce the aggregate as to make it im possible for the roads ot pay one dol lar of dividends on their stock; and a further reduction of one and one- half mill per ton per mile would make it Impossible to pay one dollar of In terest oh their bonded obligations." Officers McDonald and Walden cor railed a bunch of negro gamblers at the plant 'of the Albany Brick Co. Sat urday night. There were some thirty or forty negroes In the crowd, alt of whom escaped except eight, who were taken in charge by the officers and landed in the big brick house on Washington street familiarly known as Castle d’Edwards. Officers McDonald and Walden are comparatively, new in the city’s ser vice, but they demonstrated their cleverness by bagging the big hunch of game Saturday night. They "rot. wind” ot the gambling bout which was In progress and went out to Investi gate. They found a house in which a soft of Ethiopian Monte Carlo was being conducted. They suspected that about a dozen “skinners" were In the house enjoying their favorite pastime, but when the alarm was sounded and the officers made Chambrays, Ginghams, Percales and Zephyrs Next week we offer unusually attractive bargains in these lines, any of which is worth 12 l-2c, yard, 10c Madras 36 inch white and white fancy Madras, easily worth up to 12 l-2c, yard Soisette All colors, offered next week, special at, yard, 221-2c Mennen’s Berated Talcum Powders 25c everywhere, a special value here next week at two for 25c A Ribbon Sale All colors in guaranteed all silk taffeta Ribbon; NATIONArBtSCUIT COMPANY presence known there was a stampede from the room which was participated In by no 1$3S than thirty of the Saturday night revelers. Ed Jones, Ed Johnson, Bill Ford, Anderson Jackson, John Jones, W!-1 Harris and Friday Jackson were placed under arrest and are now in jail charged with gambling. Of those who escaped a few will probably bo arrested, as their names are known to the officers. The officers are not disposed to ar rest or make cases against the negroes who work; but it Is the gambling va grants that they are after. A few working negroes were in the crowd Saturday night, and the officers were sorry to have to take them in charge. It Is not likely that the working ne groes who were in the game Saturday night and who escaped will have cases made against them, but the loafers may pxpect to be arrested and pun ished to the extent of the law. Chicken Thief Caught. About 4 o'clock Sunday morning, a time when all honest people ought to be In bed, Officer McDonald spied a man- walking down the middle of Broad street.
