worlns freirht rtr jueri coal but also to
;hfflp intfofuie commodity Itself. It
was shown that a meeting cf the tide
water association was held in Septera-
ter 1900. and that the Norfolk and
j Western and the Chewiaiie and Ohio
t railroads asked permission to fix the
rate on coal from Pjcahontas and Vir-
ginia river points to Nor'oik at $1.23
. a ton.
The representatives of the Penny!-
vania. the New York Central and the
Baltimore and Ohio the other tlrve roads
in the association defeated this proixw!-
! tlon whereunon Mr. Searles move! to
t fix the rate at 11.40. The Baltimore and
Ohio went over to its Southern com-
petiiors however and this proposal also
J ; failed. It wne shown by the records of
" . the tiaffic association that la lsl-9 the
rate on soft ccml to New York and New
England points was 11.55. except to Bos-
ton and Maine- connections which bad a
rate of $1.45. In ls'Ht the rates had ad-
ranced to $1 .S3 and J1.T5 respectiTely.
When the members of the association
arrived at an agreement on any given
V point it was referred to the presidents of
t the various roads and those officials held
f conferences over it. The purpose of the
all rail organization it was drought out
had been to maintain price -of coal and
T there had been an expressed agreement
between ail j.arties to maintain the rate.

of the commission also held in Washington.
This agreemeat was that the Norfolk and

Congress Ave.
fixed plan ot accepting at the opportune
time about what he expected to get when he
first entered on this campaign for railroad
rate legislation.
It has not been easy for public men with
whom the president muat deal to become
accustomed to his way of doing business.
That way has cost the president many
friendships from time to time and it has
undoubtedly led a great many persons ta
beliers that he la weak and vacillating. Re-
publican senators and representatives are
constantly saying that it would make lif
" much easier tor them fTThr president would"
aiwavs Indicate clearly just what he want-
ed: they have come to reallxe that he asks
for more than he expects to get and they
are never able to tell they say. Just what
will be satisfactory to him. If one desired
to reflect the congressional view of the
president more fully It might be said that
there is a conviction about the capliol that
he talks and writes altogether too much.
The freedom with which he talks to any-
body and everybody about what be proposes
to do or compel congress to do frequently
leads to misunderstandings that might be
avoided by an ordinarily careful man. Many
of the "elder statesmea" doubt If tt ia the
proper thing for the president to send for
the. newspaper correspondents at the capi-
tal and talk to them in town meeting fash-
ion. Borne of the senators of long service
are very certain that he should not send for
the newspaper met and announce) to them
bis views before be communicates with
members of the senate.
ORIOINAn PROJECT CARRIED.
These reflections may tend to illuminate
the Washington situation which has been so
unusually Interesting for the last week or
ten days. Although the president aunaa
dered to the railroad senator on tha rate
bill tt may be pointed out that It la easy
to lore sight of another fact which Is that
whatever rate legialation ta enacted at this
session will be very Israel- due ta his orig-
inal effr ris. The rate law will by no n earns
be dil the friends of the movement had
wished for but without the campaign started
by the presldsnt. the democrats would hava
been unable being in the minority to get
any legislation through. The committee to
which the proposed legislation was referred
being dominated by railroad senators at
first spent monrhs on the subject without
making headway. Even after the house bill
was thrown Into the senate and Senator Till-
man put In cvXrgW of It. the railroad sen-
ators hoped they would be able to prevent
legislation. But the campaign was kept
up and In the end the very men who bad
tried for a year to prevent legislation aban-
doned their opposition and came up smilingly
for the bill which the president said would
be satisfactory tn turn. This is the strongest
proof of any that the bill Is satisfactory to
the railroads and therefore of comparative-
ly little value. Of course the president did
not do the square thing In asserting the
democrats and Attorney General Moody un-
ceremoniously after having entered lato ne-
gotiations with them. Rut. after the rata
bill Is signed tt will be known as the Roose-
velt law and the president and his friends
will claim credit fr whatever good la done.
If bed result fdonw or no results. It will
be Interesting to sea how they will squirm
out of It.
INCIDENT OF POLITICAL EFFECT.
Tha Tillman-Chandler-WTilte House Inci-
dent la not without political effect. It baa
demonstrated for one thing that tha
t resident la. after all a party man. From
this time on we shall not hear of democratic
senators and representatives running to tha
White House or of their "doing business"
with the president through a go-belween.
Party llnea In National affairs have been re-
established. In a way. We ahail not hear
any more talk about the democrats making
Roosevelt their candidate for president in
From this time on the president will
have to look to hla own party In congress
wnen he wants things done. His desertion
of the democrats In the senate on the eve of
what seemed a victory for a good rate bill
tn spite of the republicans In the body is
going to trake his future dealings with the
senate ail the harder for he must now do
buHness with the majority or not at alt and
the majority is unquestionably against him.
In Hi connection It may be said that a
majority of ttte republicans of the senate
are themselves asserting that the president
surrendered on the rate Mil. They have done
nil tl.ey could to assist In getting this Im-
pression out. They sre left In better posi-
tion before tie people by the fact that the
president dewned hut allies for now they
can say It was the senate which saved the
day.
But hereafter no man of good sense will
interview ti.e president or confer with him
without tsklnar a stenographer or a phono-
graph with him tin the whlte House. The"
pre .lent may be truthfulJ but he does for-
get so easily. A long list of unfortunates
in addi'Knn to former Senator Chandler ara
m a position to testify to this.

Tha wheal (sundry of the Dickson car

originated a Yaw minute befor 1 o'clock"
this morning. It la not known bow tha fir

for the reason that there are 1600 wheel
valued at H9.W0 In the pit and their con-

The fire wa discovered by a man passing
near tha plant who turned In the alarm. He
stated that when lie first saw the blase It
appeared that the entire foundry waa on fir
all over.
Condition Indicated that the fire originat-
ed near the wheel pita at the eaat tuid near
tha bayou aid and burned toward tha west.
The fir department mad a swift run and
waa on the around very soon after the alarm

well directed efforts of Chief OLoary and

Mr. Henry .Dickson in speaking of tn
losses last night. Informed a Poet repre-
sentative that he did not have the slightest
Ides What they would be. nor could he giv
any Information as to the Insurance. Tne
losses he stated depend upon the condition
ot the wheels in the pit.
THE SECOND TIME.
This same foundry waa consumed by fir
a few month ago and had only been In
operation a abort time alnce being rebuilt.
At that dm the fire .originated -at the
cupola some distance from where it origi-
nated hut night. The former loss wen In
the neighborhood of ts.000. The Insurance
collected on that loss was 112000. Speaking
of this hut night Mr. Dickson stated that he
did not believe that the losses would reach
aa much aa the former lose. However he
stated the wheel In the pit at tha time were
not damaged to very muon extent.
A new watchman was In charge of the
slant last night the regular watchman H.
H. Hosey hating met with a serious acci
dent Friday nignt wnicn connnea mm to nis

and hence no Information could be elicited
from him.
Messr. Henry John and George Dickson
were soon on the scene and worked like

In check and In directing the hoe so that
the water would not fall on the pit and thus
Injur tha wheel that were being cooled.

Mr. Henry Dickson has Just returned from
Chicago where he went to close up nego-
tiations for the erection of the new planf
at the Intsrseotlon of the Southern Paoifla

which wa made a couple of weeks ago in
The Post. It la proposed to erect a new
wheel shop and foundry at this site at onoe.
Whether or not the foundry at the present
site will be rebuilt is not known the Messrs.
Dickson not being able to give any Informa-
tion concerning that last night However
since the plans for the new plant are al-
toy commeieoanw moex-or tne arrange

PROTEST REVISION OF ARTICLES.
Allocated Prtii JtsSert.)
BIRMINGHAM Ala. May 11 Opening de-
votional exercises on the fifth day of th
general conference of th Methodist Episco-
pal church. South were led by Rev. T. W.
Lewis of Mississippi. Bishop W. W. Duncan
took the chair.
It la now practically assured that th gen-
eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church will take final adjournment Monday
and the probability Is that only a morning
session will be held on that day. Many of
the delegates left for their homes today and
others are greatly wearied by the long grind.
The features of today' sessions were th
decision to appoint a committee looking to
a revision of the ritual for Infant baptism
which will recommend to the general con-
ference of 110 and the debate on thl reso-
lution which was finally adopted In half-
hearted fashion thla afternoon. Th debet
on the resolution to revise baptism on the
ground that It contained Calvlnlet doctrln
and Implies "'doctrinal bnptislmal regenera-
tion." waa spirited and for a time It looked
as though the present conference would take
up the work of revision.
A resolution signed by a number of lay
-delegates fixing the time of final adjourn
ment at 11 o cioca Monuay was i "i.
W. E. Williams of Northwest Texas of-
fered a protest against the actjon of th con-
ference In voting for a committee to revls
the artlelee of faith. It was algned by him-
self. Dr. H. M. Dubose. Dr. Frank Richard-
son ot the Holsten conference and others.
Ther were calls for It not to be read but
simply to go on the record but several de-
manded that It be read and this waa done.
A discussion followed and finally the fol-
lowing 'committee ' waa named to make reply
