U consid eration of the naval appropriation Mil Is completed Monday, as it is sup posed It will be, the ship subsidy bill will be called upbjr Senator Fry and that Mil Till continue' to receive the attention of the seaate during the re mainder of the day. Senator Caffery will take tic floor when the bill is taken up and is expected to occupy the remaining portroa of the day, whatever time these jsajr be. left. Sen ator Proetar has gfcrea notice that as ..h.i-.. 0i the cotomittee on agrt cattare he will call is; the agricul tural appropriation .Mtt'on Tuesday, There win be no effort ""to prevent disDlacesaea of the subsidy , bill by the appropriation MIL The committee oa appropriations hopes to be able to report the lortineationa appropriation bill by the time the agricultural bill shall be disposed of a4 the army ap propriation bill is expected to be reached later in the week. The plan is to have all appropriation bills acted oa as promptly as possible after they are reported, bat when tksrs are ao Mils of that character before the sen ate the subsidy bill will continue to nave right of way. No decision has been reached yet as to whether there will be renewed effort to secure night sessions ta the considering of the subsidy bill, but the present indications are that there will be no further immediate attempt in that direction. The opponents of the Mil declare that in case of a re newal of the night meetings the friends of the bill wilt be compelled to keep constantly in the-chamber a quorum of their own, : While they made frequent demands for a 'call of the senate during the evening sessions of last week, they alwaya themselves replied to ibeir names whesi called. It is now understood to be their pur pose not tt do this in case of further efforts to bring the . Mil to a vote by carrying tao senate meetings into the night. Much interest Is felt in the effort which is .to be made to secure legis lation in connection with the army appropriation Mil in regard to the Philippic; sad Cuba. It has been al ways supposed that any attempt tn either direction would open up the en tire colonial policy of the administra tion and leaf to interminable debate, bat thar; , is aow: nnsjuestionably a quite general acquiesence in tbe ef fort to be made for Philippine and Cu ban legislation. Whether this due to the tort that there- hai not been . time to consider the bearing of these two proposed amendments soflcjaatly or to the geaeral desire to ajKHd an aessi ki of congress, does not yet r.

Cape Colony, Feb. 11 Details have been received here of severe fighting at Tabakaberg mountain, forty miles east of the railway and about midway between Smalldeal aad Bloemfonteln. MaJor Crewe, with a composite col umn traveling southwest, sighted the mountain on the morning of January 31. Me heard heavy Bring aad know- in that Colonel Pitcher's column was on the other side of tbe mountain he concluded that this omea was in ac tion. Consequently he hurried for ward, only to meet Boers streaming down and evidently rettrlag from Col onel Pitcher's lyddite shells. Immedi ately Maior Crewe brought three fif teen-pounders and a pompon to bear on the Boers, who. however, were found to be so numerous that it waa impossible to head them. Orders were riven to return to camp, about two miles from the mountain. The col umn rested until 4 o'clock in the aft ernoon, when the march was resumed southwest. . Major Crewe was Just touching the southern oolnt of the mountain when tarHAc rifl flr oiiened from a lam force of Boers who were in am buscade on tbe mountain. The fight soon became general. The Boers out numbered the British five to one and were attacking them on both flanks and the rear. The British pompom Jammed and became useless. Major Crewe grasped tbe situation and by a brilliant move got the convoy into safe nosttion. Between 7 and 8 'clock In the even ing the Boers charged the position nil turned both flanks. The British ammunition became exhausted and Maine i1rw waa Obliged to TCt-rC and abandon the pompom after the advance party bad endeavored to .... it oixt nai (sustained severe A rear guard action was fought by Major Crewe into the camp, where tbe wagons had been laagtred. He personally superintended the retire ment, the Boers harassing him throughout. Entrenchments were thrown up during the night. When morning came Major Crewe stsrted to Join General Knox, twelve miles southwest. The Boers immedi ately reattached htm, compelling him to fight a second rearguard action for n tew miles. General Dcwet person ally commanded the Boers, estimated at 2500. Major Crewe's force was only 700. Eventually the British offi cer Joined General Knox and return ed to BloamfocteiB. Lord Kitchener has highly complimented Major Crewe on the acbmlevement. MAY ttllASt KXS. MAYE3CK Will OIa Har rrasaoat Attn IS Taar's laspriaoaaMat.

LONDON, Feb. 9.Publh attention has again turned to South Africa by the dispatch of reinforcements and tbe publication of Lord Roberts' mail ditpstcbes. Rumors have been in circulation that Mr. Chamberlain has reconsid ered his South African policy and was contemplating a round-table confer ence with Mr. John Morley and Sir William Hanourt and the recall of Sir Alfred Mllner. The Dally Mall savs It Is able to assert on Mr. Cham berlain's authority, that the story Is a fabrication and that tbe government retains tbe most absolute confidence in Sir Alfred Mllner. "Mr. Chamber lain flatly denies" says the Mail "that he haa had any communication with any member of the opposition on the subject of the war." Lord Roberts' dispatch are not regarded as giving any further elu cidation of the conduct of the war, but they are Interesting, as proving that throughout the campaign he nev er bad sufficient men, horses or sup plies to cover such a vast field of op eration. t-nrd Roberts asserts deliberately ' that the nermanent tranquillity of the republic "depends on the complete disarmament of the inhabitant, a task difficult, I admit, but attainable with time and patience. Looking at all the circumstances. Lord Roberts says the campaign i uniaue in tbe annals of war" and he pays the highest tribute to the gal lantry and v-orth of the troops, de claring that "no finer fwee ever wok the field undr the British flag." There is a aeneral Idea that the dispatches have suffered considerable excision at the hands of the war office. Thev do not throw any further light on the summary retirement of Gen eral Colville or any other matters re- garlng which the public is anxious to hear. The appearance of bubonic plague at Capetown seems likely to add to the difficulties of tbe situation, xne authorities there have decided upon a wholesale extermination of rats. Should the dlseacs spread It will ne cessitate changes in the military ar rangements. . , . Today Sir Alfred Mllner makes an other earnest appeal to employers to allow as many men as possiMe to enroll in the colonial mounted defence force. : ...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The repub lican members of the ways an.l means committee met this afternoon to for mulate a plan of action relative to the war revenue bill, but no definite con clusion was reached jcyond the-' deci sion to nonconcur in the senate amendment". The action of the senate In substi tuting an entirely new bill for the bill as it passed the .bouse, is looked upon aa a distinct invasion of the prerogative of the house to initiate revenue legislation and at the meet ing today some of the members fa vored radical action to sustain what they consider the constitutional rights of the house to originate revenue leg islation. The plan was to ignore the bill in Its present form and to pass another entirely new revenue bill. But this was regarded a entirely too radical. Another proposition, and the one that met with most favor, was to re nort hai-k the bill to the house tomor row with a recommendation of non- concurrence, but without a request ; .

It Is learned from private advices that very little cash will be required to consummate the deal. If the plans go ' through. Mr. Carnegie will withdraw entirely. from the affairs of the Carnegie com pany, taking for the transfer of his stock a sum exceeding $85,000,000 in guaranteed 5 per cent bonds, which are to be a flrst Hen on the uarnegie and other prorierttee.- Oossln centers now mostly on tne price that will be paid for the 5,000 shares of stock, Two yesrs ago H.

At that time Carnegie stated mat tne next time he set a price It would be high. This statement Is being re ferred to as evidence that tne price placed Is considerably above the par value of $1,000 a ahare.
