years residence required under
the present law. The bill passed
the house February 22 but fears
were entertained that it would

SUBSTITUTE FOR ADMINISTTRA-
..^TION MEASURE APPEARS tN
WISCONSIN SENATE. r-
FOLLOWS THE ESCH-TOWNSENO IDEA
RESEMBLES INTERSTATE COM-
MERCE ACT AS AMENDED
BY LOWER HOUSE.
Madison, Wis., March 3.A substi
tute for the administration railroad
rate commission bill was introduced
in the senate during the day. The bill
differs from the so-called administra
tion bill in the following particulars:
It requires confirmation of the ap
pointment of commissioners by two
thirds of all the senators instead of by
the senate and assembly. It imposes
as a duty upon the railroads the doing
of those things which the administra
tion bill gives the commission the
power to prescribe. It specifically
provides for commodity, concentration,
transit and other special contract
rates. It contains the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
act. It provides for a, stay of orders
affecting rates or classifications pend
ing a review thereof.
The bill gives the^ power of super
vision and regulation as opposed to
the power to initiate rates and make
classifications in the first instance and
provides for a settlement of difficulties
between shippers and carriers without
action on the part of the commission
other than a notice to the carriers.
The bill follows,the lines of the inter
state commerce commission act as it
would be had the Esch-Townsend bill
become a law.
AFTER THE OIL TRUST.
Receiver Asked for Kansas Branch of
the Octopus.
Topeka, Kaa March 3.Attorney
General Coleman of the state of Kan
sas has filed suit in the supreme court
asking that a receiver be appointed
for the Prairie Oil and Gas company,
the Kansas branch of the Standard Oil
company, orf account of alleged viola
tion of the state laws. -~y
The writ was ^made''''"-returnable
March 10 and the answer to the ap
plication will be made March 30. The
papers will be served in Wyandotte
county because of the supposition that
the interests of the company are cen-'
tered there.
All the railroad companies in the
state, with the exception of the Santa
Fe, are made parties to the suit. In
addition action is brought against the
Transcontinental Freight bureau, the
Westei'n Trunk line committee and
the Southwestern traffic committee, i
All these concerns are alleged to!
have entered into an agreement with
the Standard Oil company to make
rates which are discriminative on oil'
and byproducts.
Department of Commerce Too Busy
With Other Trusts.
Washington, March 3.No action

investigation of the tobacco trust. Rep
resentative Smith (Ky.), who was
delegated by the judiciary committee
to consult the attorney general on the
subject, has found it impossible to ar
range a satisfactory interview and ex
pressed the opinion that with the steel
trust and Standard Oil investigation
the department of commerce and labor
will be running to its full capacity
during the summer.

Ek-SE^IkTlfR WOLCOTT DEAD.
_Cokr|do Republican Leader Expires
-Ai'fs^sj, .at Monte Carlo.
Denver, March 3.A cablegram an
nouncing the death of former United
States Senator Wolcott of Colorado
and the leader of the Wolcott Repub
licans in this state at Monte Carlo,
France, has been received in this city.
The death of Mr. Wolcott was a se
vere blow to his many Mentis, as he
was apparently in the best of health
when he left the state last summer
for a sojourn abroad, presumably be
cause of rebuffs offered his political
projects.
Edward Oliver Wolcott was born at
Longmeadow, Mass., March 26, 1S48.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
having served in the One Hundred
and Fiftieth regiment, Ohio volun
teers. He studied at Yale university
and graduated from the law depart
ment at JIarvard." Following his grad
uation he came to Colorado and estab
lished a law practice at Denver^ -?He
rapidly built up a lucrative praMice,
becoming heavily interested in valu
able mining and other enterprises in
the state. His advance in political life
was .equally pronounced. He served
as United States senator from 1889 to
1901. He was chairman of the com
mittee appointed by President McKin
ley to visit Europe to negotiate for in
ternational bimetallism.

Denver, March 3.Consideration of
the reports of the committee which
heard the evidence in James H. Pea
body's contest for the office of gov
rnor was postponed by the joint can
Tfention of the general assembly on ac
count of the death of Edward O. Wol
cott, former United States senator
from Colorado.
Four reports were filed with Lieu
tenant Jesse A. McDonald by the gu
bernatorial contest committee.
Fourteen Republican members of
the committee, a majority* of one,
finally signed the report in favor of
ousting Adams and seating Peabody,
which was prepared by counsel for
Peabody, but six of these committee
nien declared that they reserved the
right to vote as they saw fit after
hearing the arguments in joint conven
tion. They said they signed the re
port merely to get the matter before
the assembly.
The nine Democratic members made
a report recommending the dismissal
of the Peabody contest because no
case had been made by the evidence.
The report which may prove to be
the most important was prepared by
William H. Grifllths, chairman of the
committee, and bears in addition to
his signature those of Representatives
J. A. Mclntyre, C. E. Dungan and J.
B. Thompson, all of them Republicans.
This report sets out that there was
shown to have been fraud in forty pre
cincts in Denver which was not dis
proved by Adams. However, it also
sets out that Adams proved by his
evidence that 60 of the 104 precincts
attacked by Peabody were proven to
be without fraud and that the election
iu them was regular.
On this account the. report says
Adams still has enough votes to give
him a good sized plurality and elec-
tion.
