WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.—This
week will be a busy one In the senate.
With only twelve days of the scansion
loft all senators appreciate the neces
sity of very strict and close attention
to business In order to get through
the hills which all admit must become
laws In order to prevent an extra ses
sion of congress.
Very rarely has it occurred that
tbore have been so many important
measures the senate has to deal with
so short a time before the final ad
journment of the last session of a
congress. There are comparatively
few of these bills outside the appro
priation bills which must necessarily
he acted upon before adjournment,
and If the senute disposes of these
with the same facility that It has used
In getting rid of other important bills
(luring the last week the session will
be closed up in good order and will
have time to spare.
f The army reorganization bill and
the census bill are in reality the only
two measures aside from the appro
priation bills upon which final action
would seem absolutely necessary. The
census bill has passed both houses and
Is now in conference and Is reasonably
sure of enactment In some shape.
The army bill is yet to receive the at
tention Of the senate. Other meas
ures which will be pressed to a certain
extent are the Alaskan code bill, the
Hawaiian territorial organization bill
and various other bills pertaining to
Hawaii.
A contest over the army bill which
was promised for last week was post
poned until the present week, largely
because the storm of the first days of
the week prevented consideration of
the bill by the military committee.
Senator Hawley, chairman of the com
mittee on military affairs, has given
notice that he will seek to have the
oil! taken up for consideration im
mediately after the disposal of the
routine business Monday morning.
He will first ask for unanimous con
sent to take the bill up and if this is
refused will make a motion to this
effect. There Is no probability that
the bill will not be taken up as the
democrats as well as the republicans
concede the necessity for some legisla
tion increasing the army to cover the
present emergency. With the bill

of the opposition to a permanent in
crease in the army, and he will be fol
lowed by other senators in the oppos.
t.lon so long as no disposition is man
► i fasted to abandon at least some por
tions of the house bill.
The vital point of difference between
the two sides of the chamber is the
duration of time for which the in
crease of the army is to be made.
The republieans demand that it shall
be permanent, and the democrats re
fuse to make It more than temporary.
The latter declare that they will :not
abandon this position and say that
whatever is done must be done with
this understanding. Some of the
friends of the bill have suggested the
acceptance of the Hull bill with an
amendment making the increase for
only a specified time, but the demo
crats generally manifest a disposition
not to accept this change, as they say
it would leave the way open for the
republicans to get the legislation they
want in the next congress by repealing
the temporary provision.
Senator Cullom says he will make
an effort to get up the general bill
providing a government for Hawaii,
but the chances of success are very
slim. Senator Fairbanks will also un
dertake to call up the bill extending
the anti-contract labor laws to Hawaii
There may be an effort to amend this
measure, and it also may fail. Sera
tor Carter will continue to press the
Alaskan bill whenever opportunity af
fords. The Sampson-Schley contro
versy will almost, certainly come up *n
executive session. The anti-scalping
Mil will be abandoned
For the rest there are many minor
bills on the calendar which will give
the senate pientv to do when It is not
engaged with the more momentous
questions.
Wednesday will be devoted to the
reading of Washington’s farewell ad
in ss and to eulogies on the late 8ena

Active Rebel* lit Manila Driven Further
Inland by IlnITulo** Fire
MANILA, Feb. 20.—The California
volunteers abandoned Guadalupe
church at 5 o'clock this morning,
which has since been set on fire, and
retired to San l’edro Macatl. The
rebels still hold the country in the
vicinity of Guadalupe, Pasig and Pat
ero despite the efforts of the gunboats
to dislodge them from the jungle on
both sides of the river.
The heat is intense and Is increas
ing perceptibly dally. Under present
conditions it is Impossible to provide
shade for the troops In certain narts
of the line, particularly MacArthur's
division. King’s brigade is also ex
posed from San Pedro Macatl to Cul
icull, where is Joins Ovensbine's brig
ade.
Mr. HlgginB, the manager of the Ma
nlla-Daguapan railroad, is believed to
be safe at Bayambang, although no
communication has been received
from him since Gebruary 9. He was
then housed at Mr. Clark’s place with
his wife and family und about six oth
er Englishmen, some of whom are ac
companied by their wives.
While it is unlikely that the natives
of the locality will harm them u is
feared that others from distant pro
vinces might wreak vengeance at their
expense. In view of the fact that the
enemy were concentrating on the
American right flank, preparations
were made last night to give them a
warm reception in the event of an at
tack. General Dvershlne's line, con
sisting originally of the North Dako
ta volunteers, Fourteenth infantry
and two troops of the Fourth cavalry,
stretching from the beech to Camp
Dewey to General Kent’s right, was
reinforced by two battalions of Ore
gon volunteers and three troops of
the Fourth cavalry as Infantry.
The Buffalo’s searchlight, discov
ering the rebels unusually active about
10 o'clock in the evening, signalled
the flagship for permission to fire
upon them, and this being granted,
b< mbarded the enemy’s trenches for
twenty minutes. The only eject of
the Are was apparently to drive the
rebels further inland.
Beyond a few ineffectual volleys
from the trenches, which were re
turned with Interest, the enemy made
no demonstration and all is uuiet
along the rest of the line.
Scouts claim to havi seen General
Pio del Pilar, who commanded the
rebels at Paco, with his arm in a
sling directing the troops.
General Montenegro, the Insurgent
commander In chief, is reported to be
personally conducting the movements
in front of General King's line at San
Pedro Macatl.
'1 he signal corps is arranging sig
nals with the navy for future opera
tions on the left. With the exception
of the port of Iloilo, trade with Phil
ippine ports is still blockaded.
MANILA, Fab. 20.—10:10 a. m.—
The enemy have apparently realized
the hopelessness of attacking the
American position and are occupied
chiefly by occasional sharpshooting
from the Jungle whenever feasible.
Fortunately their ignorance of the
use of sights minimizes the results.
The night attack on General King’s
forces on San Pedro Macatl has evi
dently been construed by the rebels
as a sign of weakness, as they pressed
forward on both sides of the river
persistently harrasslng the occupants
of the town.
Protest May CniiHe Trouble.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 20—The
Post today says: In the executive
mansiou at Washington this morning
there will be recorded a protest, the
result of whicu may lead to serious
trouble between two nations—the
United States and the reDublic of
Honduras. The murder of Frank
Pears, the Pittsburg man, in Hondu
ras on the night of January 31 will
undoubtedly lead to most embarrass
ing complications unless the little re
public shall apologize and at the same
time deliver up a great amount of
gold as a fine for the foul murder
committed.
Backed by Senators Foraker of
Ohio and Quay of Pennsylvania, as
well as many others of national fame
in politics, also armed with personal
letters from State Senator C. L. Ma
Gee, Harry B. Pears of Pittsburg, the
brother of the murdered man, left
for Washington last night to lay his
case before the government of the
United States.

The naval personnel bill, which the
navy department has been contending
for so many years, was passed by the
senate this afternoon. It was under
discussion for several hours, but was
passed practically in the form in
which It was reported by the senate
committee. Its p revisions have here
tofore been fully given.
The remainder of ihe day's session
was devoted to bills on the private
pension calendar—seventy-four In
number—and to the reading of the
Alaska code hill.
Mr. Tillman presented to the senate
a letter from Octavius A. White of
New York offering to sell three nota
ble paintings of revolutionary war
scent* by Mr. White's father. My.
Hausbrough, acting chairman of the
library committee, offered a resolution
accepting the paintings and providing
for suitably hanging them in the sen
ate wing of the eapitol. The resolu
tion was adopted.
Consideration of the house person
nel bill was then resumed and the
amendments offered by the naval af
fairs committee were taktAi up. The
committee amendments striking out
sections 11, 12, 13 and 14 were agreed
to. Fending further discussion of the
bill Mr. Frye, chairman of the commit
tee on conference, reported the river
und harbor bill. Mr. Fairbanks of In
diana presented the credentials of Al
bert J. Heveridge, elected a senator
from Indiana, to succeed Mr. Turple
for the term of six years beginning

the army reorganization bill.
The request of the house for a con
ference on the agricultural appropria
tion bill was agreed to and Senators
Cullom, Quay and Pettigrew were
named as conferees.
Mr. Carter obtained unanimous con
sent for the reading of the Alaska
code bill at the conclusion of tfcu
consideration of bills on the nrlvate
pension calendar. The consideration
of bills on the pension calendar was
then begun under a special order.
Among the bills was one providing
procedure in certain cases. It pro
vides that no pension shall be with
held, modified or cancelled except for
fraud or mistakes In facts, and pro
vides a scheme of procedure. The pri
vate pension calendar was completed,
seventy-four bills being passed.
Mr. Gallinger called up the bill
granting a pension to Hon. John M.
Palmer, formerly United States sen
ator from Illinois. The senate passed
a bill granting General Palmer a pen
sion of $100 a month, but the house In
passing the bill reduced the penslou to
$50 a month. Mr. Gallinger said he
understood that General Palmer was
in almost destitute circumstances, and
while he felt the distinguished soldier
was entitled to the amount carried by
the senate bill, he did not think It de
sirable to risk a failure of the bill b.v
sending it to conference. The house
amendment was agreed to and the

DOSTON, Feb 18.—The members of
the legislature gathered with unusual
promptness at the state house yester
day in anticipation of the visit of
President McKinley. An hour before
the time announced for his arrival
the corridors were thronged, and, as
soon as the balconies of the bouse
were opened the crowd pushed In un
til every seat was taken.
The president and his party arrived
promptly at the time scheduled, and
after being received by Governor Wol
cott, under escort of 8ergeant-at
Arms J. D. Adams, the party proceed
ed to the house. They passed down the
main aisle, amid cheers of all present,
who arose the moment President Mo
Kinley was announced.
President George A. Smith, for the
Massachusetts senate, welcomed the
distinguished guest In a brief address
and introduced him to the convention.
As the president arose, waves of ap
plause rolled through the hall and
cheer upon cheer rang out. When It
was possible for him to be heard, the
president spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the General Court: Al
though limited for time 1 could not de
ny myself the honor of accepting the
Invitation officially extended by Joint
resolution of your honorable body
which I had the pleasure of receiving
from the hands of your distinguished
senior senator, Hon. George F. Hoar
1 am not Indifferent to your generous
action and It cannot he more strong
than the feeling of pleasure which I
have In meeting the senators and rep
resentatives of the great common
wealth of Massachusetts. I am glad
to he In this ancient capital.
Here great public questions have
had free discussion. Here great states
men, whose names live In their coun
try’s history, have received their train
ing and voiced the enlightened opin
ions of their countrymen. Here,
through the century, you have chosen
your fellow citizens to represent you
in the councils of the nation through
the great parliamentary body, the sen
ate of the United States. You have
chosen well and leaders you have nev
er lacked. What illustrious men have
borne the commission of the legisla
tive body of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts—Adams and Pickering
and Webster, Choate and Kverett and
Winthrop, Sumner, Wilson and a long
list besides. Illustrious In the annals
of your state and the nation, and those
later statesmen. Hoar and Lodge, hon
ored everywhere for their distinguish
ed services to our common country.
It was in the Massachusetts house of
representatives that John A. Andrew
made the speech for human liberty
which touched the hearts of his fellow
citizens and with him, your great war
governor. Nor do I forget that one
time the speaker’s chair of this legis
lative body was occupied by your for
mer governor and representative In
congress, the able secretary of the
navy, Hon. John D. Long, whose great
department has added lustre to the
American navy and glory to the Amer
ican name.
I am glad to be on this historic
ground. It revives memories sacred
In American life. It recalls the strug
gles of the founders of Massachusetts
for liberty and Independence. Their
unselfish sacrifices, their dauntless
courage are the inspiration of all lov

“ Evil Dispositions
Are Early Shown.99
Just so evil in the blood
comes out in shape of scrof
ula, pimples, etc., in children
and young people. Taken in
time it can be eradicated by
using Hood's Sarsaparilla.
In older people, the aftermath
of irregular living shows it
self in bilious conditions, a
heavy head, a foul mouth,
disordered kidneys, yellow eyes and
skin, with a general bad feeling.
It is the blood, the impure blood,
friends, which is the real cause. Purify
that with Hood's Sarsaparilla and
happiness will reign in your family.
Blood Poison ” I lived in a bed of lire
for years owing to blood poisoning that fol
lowed small pox. It broke out all over my
body, Itching Intensely. Tried doctors and
hospitals In vain. I tried Hood's Harsapa
rllla. It helped. I kept at It and was en
tirely cured. X could go on the housetop*
and shout about It.” Mbs. J. T. Willuhh,
Carhoudale, I’a.
Scrofula 8oree - “My baby at two
months had scrofula sores on cheek and
arm. Local applications and physicians’
medicine did little or no good, flood's Har
saparilla cured him jiermancntly. He Is
