Senator Patterson Defies Caucus Over Dominican Treaty

He asks the measure be postponed for discussion, as Tillman questions its parliamentary status and Democrats brace for Republican support but likely no broader backing.

Merger Row Deepens as Gillespie Demands Facts From Departments
Gillespie vows to seek knowledge about railroad merger through the Commerce and Justice departments and, if needed, a congressional committee inquiry. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued a cautious reply, detailing stock ownership ties among Pennsylvania Railroad and related lines, and noting no clear determination of violation under the cited act. The report highlights cross-ownership and shared directors across the Pennsylvania system and its allied roads, with limited competitive rate activity in the sector.
