Supposedly Irreconcilable Factions Suddenly
Welded Late Yesterday Afternoon

By Senate Vote of 56 to 1Q for Regulation of Relative
Charges for Long and Short Hauls Supreme Court
Mav Yet Have to Arbitrate the Question Brandagee
Voted for the Amendment and Eulkeley Against It
. Regular Republicans Upbraided for Change of Front
Washington May 13. By a sudden
welding- late today of supposedly irre
concilable factions, the senate by a
vote of 56 to 10 adopted a compromise
amendment to the railroad bill for the
regulation of relative charges for long
and short hauls. .
Why the Agreement Was Reached. -The
agreement was reached chiefly
for the reason that each faction appar
ently thought it was getting the better
of a shrewdly driven bargain. There
are not wanting- tonight senators who

Recognising the public sentiment
which demanded that . the Maine be

It Is quite certain that the appro

"That 4s the time 1 usually have to

While upbraiding regular republi

change of front, Mr. Bacon was inter
rupted by Senator Elkine, whose ruddy
face 'was wreathed in smiles as he
asked: , "Well, you're happy; area

This raillery plainly Irritated the
Georgia senator, for he retorted rather
sharply that it took "a very little thing

than appeared upon its surface. Among

was Senator Brandegee of Connecti

"j PRESENTED BY BRANDEGEE.
Four-Pictures for the State of Con-
' V necticut.
(Special to The Bulletin.)
Washington, May li. The fowr por
traits or Ctiier Juf?ticea Marshall
aney, Chase and Waite, of the su
preme court of the United States, re
cently purchased by Senator Brande
gee and presented to the state of Con
necticut, were aent to the state cap
ltoi yesterday afternoon by express
and will prwba'bly arrive in a couple

paintings and were formerly the prop
erty or Daniel w. Miadleton, the clerk
or tne supreme court.
These four pictures were offered to
the United States, and the senate com
mittee on the Jibrary reported in favor
of fheir purchase. They were offered
to the government for $3,000 by the
son of the original owner, font it was
found that four similar portraits were
already owned by the government and
in the retiring room of the supreme
court. The ones in the possession of
the government are not as fine aa ttie
one purchased by Senator . Brande
gee; In fact, it looks as . though the
latter were. the originals and the oth
ers were copies.
- The senate refused to. buy the pic
tures, and Mr. Middleton offered to sell
them to Senator Brandegee, who is
known ae an art collector and a judge
of fine pictures. The senator liked
the pictures, and finally bought them,
at a price somewhat below the original
figures. Senator Brandegee fhen pre
sented them to the state of Connecti
cut, througn Governor Week, and the
pictures will probably bo hung either
in the stare capitol or In the new
state lrary. Senator Brandegee se
cured the pictures in .coropetition with
other- prospective purchasers, notably
thm "bar association of New York, and
they wHl be a valuable addition to the
art works already owned by the state.
