Slant&s a R?tl Leader of Senate,
(H. E, C- Bryaut.)
Wrthingtou Aug. During the
present session of Congress Sen
ator Simmons has been appoint
ed conferee on more bill than
any other Senator. He wan mi
nority conferee 011 the river and
harbor bill, the wool, the metal,
the excise and the sugar tariff
bills; the Pnnama bill, and, if the
cotton bill had gone to confer
entv, he would have represented
(he minority ou thfit Occasion nI
SO. The bills mentioned here are
seven of the most import ant bills
that passed Congress at this ses
sion. The position of conferee is one
ofgreut. importance. Take the
river and harbor bill, for in
stance, the houses disagreed on
more than l."0 amendments,
which went to conference for ad
justment. The three conferees,
representing each house had pow
er to retuin or reject ail amend
uients, or to retain them w i t h
amendment ol their own.
It ofteu happens iu the exer
cise of thdir large power that the
conferees almost rewrite the bill,
and the two houses yote to agree
or disagree In their report. This
is just what happened in t he con
ference on the cansl bill. The
conferees on the part of the
part of the house were t wo Dem
ocrats undone Republican and
on the part of the Senate two Re
publicans and one Democrats.
Senators Brandegee, regular Re
publican, Bristow, insurgent Re
publican, and Simmoms, Demo
crat were tb" Senate con fereI
Senators Simmons and Bris
tow were both iu favor of e;c
erupting our coastwi&e vessels
from tolls and admitting ship
building free of duty and prohib
iting railroad control and owner
ship of competing water car
riers through the canal or else
where. So they got together and
united with t he two House Dtm-
cr.its nnd re-wrote the bill in
these important respects and put
ull water carriers under the con
trol of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in a w :y to mnke
monopoly of water transporta
tion impossible.
This was stunning blow to
the railroads and their plans and
they raided a great howl, which,
some believe, was heard at t h e
White House. The lourconferees,
three Democrats and one Repub
lican. srood firm and put their re
port through both the Houe
and Senate, the Senate adopt
ing it over the protest of the
chairman, Senator Brandasree,
by a vote of 48 to IS. Senator
Bristow ral ied the insurgent ol
the Senate for the report and sen
ator Simmons rallied the Demo
crats, so that on this great mens
ure there was brought about
through Senators Simmons and
Bristow the same alliance and
co-operation between the Demo
cr.itsand iusurgon' as existed
between them on the tariff meas
ure: The power of the conferee com.
tnittee is very great it frequent
ly hnpnetis that the real legisla
tion is framed in the co ference
room n was done in the case of
the canal bill.
Disposing the Panama Rill with
me the other day Senator Bn
tow said: ' The bill, as reported
from our conference committee.
1 think is the most important
piece of legislation nassed lv Con
gress this session. The conference
will be a nrpat improvement over
either the House or the Senate
measure. I am very much grati
fied at thepart Senator Simmons
took in getting in the biMprovis-
I ions that mean so much to the

Col W. I Oilson, locating en

diys, fiom there the engineering j
party will proceed with the loca
tion of the road np Elk creek to
the toot of Blue Midge, the pre
liminary line having been run
last winter nnd spring. Col. Oil.
son also made a preliminary sur
vey from the Cook's (lap on ton
of the Blue Ridg to the foot of
the mountain on Elk Creek, and
succeeded in finding not only n
possible line, but a practicable
one, although the attempt had
been made three times within the
lat thirty yens and the idea a
bandoned, owing to the extreme
roughness ol the country. After
the location has been made as
far as the foot f the mountain,
Col Gilson will again take h i s
party into the mountains for the
purpose of perfecting the line run
last spring and to make the final
location after which he wdl pro
ceed across the mountains and
down the Watauga river into
Tennessee. It is expected that a
fourth large construction force
will be organized within the next
ten days and the construction

Senator, who knows how and
when to tight, stood with nie
faithfully, making possible the
great victory won."
Discussing this legislation Sen
ator Simmons said: "I regard
the provisions of the conference
report which makes railroad con
trol of water transportation im
possible as the most valuable
piece of legislation passed in (lie
last quarter of a cenfury. If the
Panama bill, aa it left the confer
ence, becomes a law, unless the
President vetoes it, our water
ways will become of great value,
both in reducing water rates and
ngulhting railroad rates. The
opportunity which came to me
as a conferee to accomplish this
great result I regard as one of
the greatest of my life.

days they wore undf rclothes.
Now they wear lingerie. Then
