CI.MI' WISCONSIN MAN OH WARPATH Resenting Treatment Accorded Him In by Colleagues He Tells 6,000 People Each Senator 1 1 Voted on Amendments to Rate Bill. Evansville, July States Senator LaFollcite of Wiscou- Bin an' address of over three hours before the Eviinsville Chantau- quB to an audience of over 5,000 peo- and in his address he showed up the record United Stales Sen at. or A.

Homenway, of in his vote on certain amend- mcnts on the railroad 'rate bill in the last session of congress. Senator ITom- enway ran down from IJoonville to help enter- a i Sena-tor LaFollette, and was selected as ftOBURT H. the proper to introduce the Wisconsin reformer. Senator LaFollette spoke of his several amendments to the rate first giving the interstate commerce commission the power to hire expert, engineers to ascertain the value of the. railroads of the conn- after the trod's try and the cost of maintaining them.

Senator LnFolletto read the roll of the senate, which that: Senator voted to table this amendment. Another amciidmnet, was to disqualify any judge holding stock in having railroad passes from Kitting in a railroad case, when this amendment was was absent from the senate. AVheri LaFollelto read the of senators, who voted on the amendment some one in the audience yelled, "Where was Hemenway Flushed. During all this lime Senator occupied a on the platform, 'ibis hands folded and his face flushed, and finally he interrupted the Wisconsin senator by say that Senator ijtelldns of West Virginia voted against Sf the first amendment concern- the employment of expert engi- rs. Senator LaFollotte turned to Indiana senator and said: "And show you in live minutes why 5 Allans voted me.

lie knew that 'tynad information show, that he had SCfrozen out a certain independent coal and was afraid that I would it on him." The showing up of Senator Homen- vay's record by Senator LaFollette the of Uie day. and is freely discussed by politicians, are speculating on the probable 2t it will have witli the voters in 3ls end of the star.fi. Friends of Horn- enway say that it came in poor grace from the. Wisconsin senator to make they rerm an aitaek on the Indiana junior semi lor. Senator LaFollette said the railroad rale, bill contained a little good, bm thai it did not have a single leg on which to stand.

He said it ought never to have been passed, as the representatives of the corporate interests in congress Will say when another effort is made to get morn rate legislation: "Why, We gave you plenty of legislation along line last year." LaFollelte thought Jiat had the been defeated would have proved a blessing, as it YOUld have caused a popular uprising the people, which would have resulted in the passage! of a bill in the ifiext congress that would have remedied the rebate evil. "Mis Unpleasant Task. "It is not a pleasant thing," said the Wisconsin senator, "to stand up feere and bang away at the -United Btat'es senate, lint if I did not do it BoboiJy else would. Hut 1 intend to Ipeak for what 1 believe to be right, $veri if 1 am ostracized in the senate. would rather go down to defeat an be fetired to private life than to be false to the people." The senator he would Keep Corking away in the senate and de- fuanding other reforms until the people had restored to ihwm a representative form of government, which he asserted they no longer had, as legislation is largely controlled by coryo- rate interests.

After the meeting Senator was asked for an interview concerning the made by Sen- Ator LaFollette concerning bis record OU the.rate bill. He said: "it would fee useless for me to attempt to explain why i voted against all the amendments offered by Senator Lafollette. if all the amendments offer- Ad by the Wisconsin senator had been Incorporated iu the railroad rate bill fike a crazy quilt.

Except in the northern part of the country, houses possess no heating apparatus, and even iu the north they only have a platform of masonry built across the end of a room, upon which all the family sleep. This platform is heated from the inside by tires of grass or charcoal.

The tire is never attended to properly, and so it goes out, ami the sleepers alternately roast and hut neither this nor the. fumes keep them from sleeping soundly. Most Chinese houses have only cooking large basin with a very thin bottom, set in masonry. Only one dish can be prepared at a time, and while cooking the owner can have no hot water. To meet the deficiency hot water shops are feature in Chinese cities.

I was suddenly awakened by a most tremendous clap of what 1 took to be thunder and opened my eyes full on a scene which few people have been privileged to witness. On a background of piled up heaps of yellow gray smoke, seeming great puffs from a giant lire, rost- a perfect, straight, column of burning material, without a ttaw or deviation, to what seemed thousands of feet above, spreading at tin; top and throwing out myriads of iridescent globes in all directions. simile can be so perfect as that of a Cyclopean rocket. This rocket issued from a burning caldron in which redhot glowing material boiled up and over, (lowing down the side of the mountain so quickly that I imagined I could see it advance us I watched.

Tuis member, Kays writer in the Philadelphia J'ubJic Ledger, is a most energetic man, and, appreciating tho fact that his time was pretty well occupied, the sajd: "Now, sir, if you would prefer we will see you at your hotel iu the evening." "Oh, no; 1 shall be glad to hear you now," lie said courteously. "But we have a great deal to say on the subject."
