WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The Hepburn Rajlroad Rate Dill was ‘taken up promptly in Congress to-day for the leat general debate. The foramds included speeches by Bourke Cockran (N.Y. Mr, Mann (IL), Mr. Williams (iies,) and Mr, Hepburn (la.). ‘A short speech in favor of the bill by Mr. Banishead (Ala.) preceded Mr. Cockran, who was limited to an hour and a quarter. Mr. Cockran announced his position in favor of the bill. While he did not consider {t a panacea for all evils, it was a most wholesome manl- festation of a unanimous public deter- mination to deal with the real. Jt was the only means by which pub- | tlc ownership could bq stopped and checked, the most plausible argument of the socialist, Mr. Cocktan had been speaking but a few minutes when he had a full audience on the floor, and the galleries were also occupied to their capacity. Mr. Cockran gave simple analysis of favoritism and discrimination to show its inherent injustice. Favoritism was always granted corruptly. “Sir” he continued, “the histary of railroad management in this oountry fs the history of favoritism, of cor- ruption and of fraud.” In spite of this he would not say the railroads had not rendered enormous service, but they had not been as efficient as they should be. His next assertion was that railway influences predominated both political parties. Illustrating this, he showed how the representatives of wealth Ignored the courts and dominated State administra- tions. The very court which had dropped the proceedings against H. H. Rogers had the next day issued a most vigorous injunction against striking printers. ' In this connection he reviewed the Northern Securities decision which, he sald, declared criminals and conspirators those responsible for that combination. Hanriman and Morgan, he sald, quar- relled over the control’ of several rail- ways in the Northwest which threatened to interfere wiih their plunder. The President directed an action against them. ‘The Court declared a con- spirac; “What was the result?" he asked. “Tt wa, te reduce the control of! these properties from two to one. When they came to distribute the stocks Harriman had been eliminated, Morgan was sureme. “A more perfect conspitacy was per- fected through the decision of the court itvelf, And the stock, which was sell- ing at $100 to $102 when the decision was pending, sold for $160 after It was Announced, thus enriching the conspira- tors, who’ walked vut of court just 210,000,000 richer, for having been con- victed.’ “ithe fact that no criminal proceedings had been begun was dwelt on at some length and the Jail sentence of Debs and the conviction of two Senators for “mere indiscretions” contrasted. ‘Compliments were paid to Rockefeller “at once the richest and mose despised of our whole population.” Mr. Williams. the Democratic floor leader, who foliow Mr. Mann, present- ed a host of congratulattons on the rate Dill, He took up in turn In his fellct- taitona, the Demneratic members of the commlitee reporting the bill, the whole committee, the Democratic party, the Repblican party, the President and the country. ge BALL ON WARSHIP.
