President Bran of the New York Contra! lin«« said last night that he >"•- j garded the arrangement made between the President and the executives of the Western lines os very satisfactory for j the Western roads and equally so for the j Eastern lines. The arrangement, he ; said, will make It possible for the Inter state Commerce Commission, if" it de- j sires, to begin at once an investigation j of the reasonableness of the proposed j advance in Central Traffic Association and Trunk line rates, as suggested by the railroads some time ago. with the , understanding that the date when the , increased rates shall become effective shall be fixed by the commission. Although not desiring to commit him self definitely, Mr. Brown expressed the hope and belief that the action which was taken in Washington last night and his visit to the capital to-day would re sult in instructions being issued to re sume work on improvements which had j temporarily been suspended.

Nt^T-YORK DAILY TIMIU SJE, TUESDAY, -JUNE 7. UNO. FIGHT OVER RAiLROAD RILL House Insurgents Wouid Accept Senate Measure. REGULARS FOR CONFERENCE Result in — Democrats See "Joker" Which Might Allow Rebating. Washington. June C. -The railroad bill caused more informal conferences and miniature caucuses on the floor and in tin cloak rooms and lobby of the House or Representatives to-day than have been Been there for a lons time. Tho proposal that the House accept the Senate bill when «t comes up to-morrow was the cause. It was said to-night that about thirty or thirty-five Republicans, mostly insurgents. were prepared to vote to accept the bill as it came from the Senate. The Democrats had reached no decision as to what their attitude would be, and it was evident from Individual expressions that the minority is badly divided. Representative Champ Clark spent most of the afternoon trying to get a consensus of opinion from his fellow Democrats. A conference, lasting an hour or so, was held in the Democratic cloak room. Sen ators ShiveJ.v. of Indiana, and Hughes, of Colorado, and Representatives Clark and l.nderwood. of Alabama, took part in it. It was the opinion of those in the best rosition to know that the Democrats would not vote in sufficient numbers to adopt the Senate bill to procure its passage through trie House. Whether the Hutiee votes to accept the Benate bill, to send it to conference or to tack on a few amendments, there is a good protpect of a spirited contest. Democratic leaders in the House to-day discovered an alleged '•joker" in the Senate biii which they say -would permit the rail roads to enKaee in rebatinc without fear pf prosecution. It is in the. fcrm of an addi tion to that section of existing law whim prescribes a penalty of $250 for failure to quote a rate to a shipper on request, or for miKJUotinß a rate. The proviso, which is gitid to nullify laws prohibiting rebates, was presented by Senator Sbively. a Democrat, and ie as follows: Provided however, that, notwithstanding anvthin* in this section contained, any person or company suffer! n damage in con £quen«-e of any violation of any of the provisions of thia section shall have the right to recover such damage by tuit against the carrier in any court of com petent Jurisdiction. The theory of the Democratic members of «he House who pointed out this feature of the bill was that tt would open the way for railroads to give rebates under the guiee of paying damages to a shipper. lawyers of the Senate, both Republicans land Democrats, ridiculed the suggestion and said that it probably was advanced to cast doubt on the wisdom of a^-pting the Senate amendments to the railroad Mil without a conference. Representative Underwood, of Alabama, declared that the Senate amendment would effectually restore to the railroads the power to grant rebate?. "The Standard Oil fine of $2S,oeQ,of>? was imposed as the result of a misquoted rale," he said. "If this section were to become a law the railroad* might misquote a rate to a shipper and pay to him as damages anything they wished. Tim only penalty they would incur under the circumstances j would be a fine of ££<->. and the payments ! in 'damapes* might amount to millions. The j shipper, of course, would not need to bring actual suit, as the railroad would confess : the damages and pay the shipper. It would j pot matter whether it was called damages j or rebate,-, the effect would be the same." j Representative Kirn?, of Tennessee, a! Democratic member of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, said that j in his opinion the Senate section would re store to the railroad*- th«> privilege of re bating. "I do not want to say." said Mr. Sims, I "that the Senate Intended the section to read that way. but that is the effect of the provision." Hurry calls went out to-day for all absent j members of the House. Republicans and Democrats, to come back posthaste pre pared for a contest to-morrow ever the question of whether the House- shall concur j in the Senate amendments to the railroad | bill or send it to conference. Republican leaders were particularly active, and they proceeded to arrange pairs for all members of their party who could not be reached. HOFFSTOT'S LITTLE JOKE Slips Into Pittsburg and Away Again in Private Car. Pittsburg, June <?.— F. N.

Rumors to this effect were confirmed to night by a number of the employes at the car plant, Who described his arrival and departure.

Is Stupid and Insolent. nulls* at W fflllU**»a, receiver of the Third Avenue Railroaxl system, !:i a letter to James V. Wallace, chairman of Ihe Third Avenue Bondholders' Reorganisation Committee, accuses a bondholder who com plained that Mr. ■IVhitridge engendered ani mosity Award the Public Service Commis- Blonsion of pusillanimity and takes another fling at the commission. Mr. Whitridpe declare." his feelings tow ard the commission to be entirely imper sonal and says that of two thousand pages of correspondence only two ieUrrs are any thing except replies to orders or communi cations. He adds that tne commission, having lost nine suits brought agalnnt htm as receiver, seems to have lost its temper and become personally abusive. Referring to the protest of the bond holder against the animosity engendered, the receiver says: "I have only to say thst on the slightest intimation from you or from any consid erable number of bondhoE-rs that my ser vices are imperilling their property I shall be only too happy to retire. "And having said that. Mr. will pardon me for saying that his letter seems to me to be an excellent instance of that pusillanimity of the American people, and of capitalists in particular, which cause* them to bow before all public officials and to be willing to submit to almost anything from them. This unwillinirness on the part of the people -and particularly of corpora tions—to stand up for their rights, has for years seemed to me to be one of the causes why this country has to submit to bo much bad go-'-rnment. "The commission seems to share the widespread notion, engendered by poli ticians and newtpapern, that corporations and everybody connected with them are neither law-abiding, truthful nor honest. That, in some cases, may be true. It Js not true of me. And I find tlie state of mind of the Public if lee Commission toward most of the things with which It has to deal in this district to be stupid and in solent." The bearing on the reorganization was continued yesterday. William D. Guthrle, counsel for the bondholders' committee, has filed another application on behalf of th© new Third .Avenue Railway Company, of which Edward If. Maher, now general manager of the system, is president. The new application Is now under consideration and tho hearing was adjourned until 11 a. m. to-day.
