And on broad political grounds

Washington Fob HI That the op-
position to the shipping bill In the
ate will not permit a vote to bo taken
on the mciiHiiro at the present session

hours of yesterdays session For sev
eral days It has been evident that It
would bo dllllcult to gain unanimous
consent to take a vote on the measure-
fout not until late yesterday was the
t rank admission made that a vote could
not be bad During the few hours
consideration of the bill Teller an
nounced his Intention to prevent a vote
this session In an Impassioned speech
he said bo would not consent to a vote
and It must be apparent that no voto
could be had The statement by the
Colorado senator elicited a sharp re
icponse from Aldrlch who Insisted that
despite the declaration of Teller tbo
business of the senate would proceed In
accordance with the wishes of the ma
jority Tellers statement also drew
the lire of Chandler who assorted that
the position of the opposition was pre
posterous Ilanna replied to Teller In
a forceful speech in the course of
rrhlch be became Impassioned In his
denunciation of the methods employed
by the opposition to defeat the
tire The advocates of the bill he said
were honestly endeavoring to advance
the best Interests of the country and
he resented the Insinuations against
their honesty of purpose

leadership of Mr Cannon chairman
of the appropriation committee a long
filibuster consumed the time of the
house yesterday Mr Cannon desired
the bouse to proceed with tbo huudry
civil appropriation but was caught
napping by the Democrats who de
ired to devote the day to the consid
eration of private claims It was the
hist day under the rules which coulil
bo devoted to claims at this congress
and notices had been sont out Thurs

SATURDAY
Washington Feb 18 Tbe last week
but one of tbo preseut session of con
tress will be an exceedingly busy one
In tbe house Much business lemalns
to be disposed of and the invariable
crowding which characterizes tha clos
ing hours of a congress has begun al
ready The appropriation bills so far
as tbe house is concerned urn in tniny
good shape The last of them tbo
general dcllcloncy bill will follow on
tbe heels of the sundry civil bill which
In about half completed Those bills
and conference rejmrts will ho given
the right of way over anything else
All other matters some of thum of
great Importance relatively but not of
Imperative necessity to 1 pnssed wilt
hnve to take their chances in tho final
rush Hanker Henderson In almost
constantly besieged by memlierH Im
portuning him In the Interest of vari
ous measure He In keeping every
thing clear for the great bills and let
ting the drifUwood of legislation Into
the current only when It will not Im
pede progress of things which must
pans congress before March t There
aro many knotty problems to be
solved In connection with the appro
priation bills over differences between
the two houses and many good sized
rows are promised The ultimata
fate of the river and harbor bill will
probably doMnd upon how heavily It
Is loaded when It comes back from the
senate The biggest tight lietween
tho two houses from present appear-
ancos la likely to occur over tho war
revenue reduction act Tho somite
conferees seem determined at pres
ent to force tho senate substitute or al
low tho bill to fall Hut the houso con
ferees nre standing Inn mid an many
memtMrn of the houso hnve then
backs up the Impression prevails that
tho houso will support their con
ferees and If It does the senate In tho
end may be eonielled to ylold To
day In susiHHislon day and the bill ap
propriating 5000000 for the St Louis
cxosltloti will be put on Its passage
A motion to suspend the rules will cut
off opportunity for nmoudnient and no
doubt In entertained that thin bill will
command the two thirds necessary to
secure Its passage upon a motion to
suspend tbe rules The program with
reference to this nnd other measures
however may lie materially modified
If It becomes certain before March 4
that an extra session Is to bo called
Appropriation IIIIU In Senate
Washington Feb 18 Tbe sonata
will devote practically all of Its time
during the preseut week to appropria
tion bills The postolllce
tlon bill will probably be taken up to-
duy upon convening though it may
give place to the diplomatic and con
sular appropriation bill The amount
of time to be consumed In discussing
those measures will depend largely
upon the determination which may be
reached wltb reforeuce to the ship sub
sidy bill So long as the Democrats
feel that tho subsidy bill is to he
pressed In case of u lull they will in
sist upon debating all measures pre
sented The bill making appropria
tions for fortltlcntlon will also receive
attention during the week and It Is
exacted that the conference roiort
upon the Indian bill will bo considered
The army bill probably will be re
ported late in the week but not in
time to be debated before the begin
ning of next week
There is some talk of tho renewal
of night sessions but it is not prob
able that they will be again under
taken until the closing days of the ses
sion
EXTRA SESSION SURE
President Mvys He Will Summon Congress
Must Take Cam of Cutis
Washington Feb 18 Tho president
told senators who called upon him
Saturday that congress would be
called In oxtra session us soon us the
Cubiui constitution was received
The president has seldom been
known to talk so freely wltb mem
bers of congress and other public men
on any question he had In contempla
tion us he now talks with them con
cerning an extra session of congress
He has not as yet Indicated a time
when he should expect congress to
meet and this he is not expected to do
until tho Cuban constitutional conven
tion shall complete Its work
Tho prediction Is general that In
case an extra session is called It will
extend well Into tho summer
It 1b not believed that Its deliber
ations could be confined to Cuba but
that the Philippine question the anti
trust bill and the subsidy bill if that
should fail to be disposed of at the
present session would all come In for
a share of attention

tional exposition in celebration of tbo
centennial anniversary of tbo Louisi
ana purchase ut St Louis lu 1003 und

the rules 101 to 11 The opposition
was hoiKlessly in the minority und tbo
struggle over the bill wus brief The
question of closing the exposition on
Sunday was uot mentioned during the
debute
The bill to define the wopj con
spiracy lu the Sherman untl trubt
luw to avoid the possibility of Its be
ing held applicable to lubor organiza
tions was defeated by almost a two
thirds vote on uccount of two amend
ments which the judiciary committee
placed on the bill and which were op
posed by tho labor organizations
Tbo Buudry civil bill was under con
sideration lute lu tbe day and Can
nou took occasion to make a detailed
statement of the expenditures of tbo
present congress Ho was led to tbts
be said by many criticisms of tbe reck
less extruvagunco of this congress The
Bltuutiou be said was quite bad
enough without exaggerating it Ho
figured that the appropriations would
total 001158559 exclusive of the
sinking fund requirement of 53000
000 against 057150802 for the cur
rent year In tho course of bis re
marks ho tired some hot shots at the
minority for prating of economy nml
not helping to uphold the bands of
himself and others when they were
trying to keep appropriations down

WEDNESDAY
Washington Feb 21 The Iioum
finally passed the sundry civil appro
priation bill yesterday and entered
upon consideration of the general de
ficiency tho last of the general appro
priation bills Lentz furnished the
sensation of the day He used a news
paper paragraph recounting the death
of a federal judge Charles Lyland in
New Mexico who had been a member
of the legislature which elected Sen
ator Hannn as a text for charging that
a judicial place had been given Lyland
lu return for his vote for nonator

non who declared that bravo men
fought the living and only ghouls rav
ished the tombs of the deud Grosve
nor attempted to reply nnd tho two
Ohloans were nnxlous for the fray
but Cannon would not permit lie
thought if dirty linen was to be
washed the gentlemen should hire a
hull Later Lontz made a second on
slaught of a more sensational charac
ter and brought down upon himself
the whole Republican side of the house
In some remarks about a paragraph
In the bill for payments for the appre
hension of deserters Lentz made tbe
startling charge that soldiers in the
Philippines had buried a native alive
and bud then beheaded him and he
read a letter written he said by a
soldier lu the Philippines saying that
he und bis companions while on an
expedition were ordered to shoot every
man and beast they found
Lentz said If these things were truo
the soldiers were justified In desert
ing Qannon Mnhou Grosvenor and
Moody amid warm applause strongly
rebuked Lentz Cannon declared that
If Lentz were in the Philippines he
would be tried by court martial and
shot Mahon thought Lentz romarks
were revamps of the copperhead
speeches of -10 years ago and Moody
read the words of Lincoln that the
man who encourages a soldier to de
sert Is worse than the deserter
