Mr. Hawley said ho objected to the ' ' " 'whole performance Declare Henolntlann Pnrclcnl.

" Mr. Cullom replied that ho was not aware the army appropriation bill had been , passed l > y the house. Mr. Alleu said It was rumored about the chamber that 1he army bill was to be called up on Monday or Tuesday next. Dis cussion on that bill would continue un til the end of the session. This would cause thn other appropriation bills to fall and nwko necessary an extra session. "I ask , " itald he , "If there is any Intention of that kind ? " Mr. Cullom t.ald he- knew little or noth ing concerning the army bill and that It was his Intention to proceed next week with appropriation bills. "What do you rawn by the army bill ?

FIGHT FOR MAIL CONTRACT Iliirllnitlon nnil ? Vortl veii < rn Roth All the -\Vlr - at Their Command. WASHINGTON , Feb 11. ( Special Tele gram ) Washington has not seen In years an bitter H fight es It being waged between the Burlington end Northwestern railroads tor the contract to haul fast mall trains between Chicago and Omaha General Man- dcrson , counsel for the'Uurllngton , has been In Washington for a month trying to sccuro the contract which his road has held ever since fast mall tralni were regarded as essential to the progress ot thj went. He has been strengthened In his fight by General Manager Drown of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy and General Counsel Blytbe , who have been active In the work of keeping the contract in view of the fact that the Durllncton has made the time required by the PostoMlce depart ment In shortening up the distance between Chicago and Omaha But while the Burlington hat had Its big guns here , the Northwestern has had the combined Influence of both the Gould and Vanderbllt Interests , together with Martin - tin Hughltt , president ot the Northwestern , who U a most intimate friend of Presi dent McKlnloy. Senator-elect Chauncey De- pen has been to the prceldent about the contract In the Interest of tha Northwest ern , as has also Senator Platt. which has given to the contest an Importance that has quite overshadowed everything except the ratification of the treaty of Paris. General Manderson has prepared a brief In support of the Burlington's position , which has been filed with Assistant Post master General Shallenberger , who bos charge of this branch of the postal service. Brief reviews are given of the history of the Burlington railroad and its acceptance of the contract when other roads refused the name and the general argues that the plain Interests of the Postofflce department would be abrogated should a contract be made with any other railroad than the Burlington In view of the fact that It had complied with all the requirements of the Postofllce depart- raent in the recent contest between the Burlington and Northwestern , as to which could make the best tlmk In handling the malls. General Manderson feels sanguine that the Burlington will get a renewal of the contract for the next four years , but others believe the Northwestern , with Its immense Influence , will win out. Senator Thureton stated today that he would pass his Joint resolution relative to the Greater America Exposition as soon aa the conditions were favorable. Senator Al len will not antagonize the measure and may have something to say In its favor. Dudley Slnlth left for Omaha today. Senator Nelson , a subcommittee of the committee on commerce , has the nomina tion of Cadet Taylor In hand , but U unde cided as to when he will make a report. It may be necessary to take testimony In the case , in which event additional time will be required.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. ( Special ) The social season In Washington , which la rapIdly - Idly drawing to a cla e , has been marked by rather unusual dullness. It Is true that there has been the usual number ot presi dential receptions , state dinners at the White house , cabinet receptions and other functions or like character because ot the presence hero ot the Canadian high joint commlMloners , who have entertained and been entertained quite lavishly but the swell houses In the West End , usually tbo cene of so much gaiety , have had their windows darkened more evenings this win ter than for many jears preceding. This Is due to Urge numbers of deaths which have occurred among Washington's four hun dred , and to the general prevalence of ill ness In the families of the social set. There ha been nn epidemic of grip , which has Invaded almost evt-ry other house In Wash ington's fashionable streets , and besides this It has been an uncomfortable winter so far as the weather Is concerned , and be yond thta the war with Spain baa kept away on their ships or with their regiments many of the officers ft ho have In the past added much to the gaiety ot the social season at the capital Nebrnsknng , however , have hugely figured In the dolnes ot the snell set , the presence hnre of a number of young women of Omaha , Lincoln and other towns In the state at tracting considerable attention from recep tion and dinner givers , and It Is not too much to say that the young -women ot the Antelope state have -more than held their On n with their counlns of the east. Miss Mao Wood of Omaha , who bos just returned from Paris , In speaking ot the French capital , says : American ( ilrln' Pnrln Home- . "Beyond the Quartler Latin , In the Rue de Chovrc , ii located the American Olds' club , the one place Intil Franco where the Amer ican girl or woman la supreme The build ing lUelf Is remarkable only for 1U ancient association ! , it having served for nearly half a century as a. pension or boarding school for bojs , and contains some thirty or forty rooms. It Is built of the tame yellow sandstone as many of the buildings In Paris and erected JLround three sides of a court. One room , only ot this old building at tracted my particular attention , and that was the dining room , the frieze of which Is decorated to represent the good things enJoyed - Joyed by Americans on Thanksgiving day , the first dinner given there being on Thanks giving evening. Thl frieze represents all pOJslbU and Impossible forms of fowls , both domestic and wild , but it is but fair to state the proverbial turkey. In every pose Imag ined by artist or amateur , appears the moat frequent. In colors that would put the mod est brown garb of our farmyard friend to thame. "Being an American student In Paris Is &n open sesame to the enjoyment of all the privileges and benefits of the club , provid ing ono 1s not 40 yeari of age or married. The object in Its tatablUhment Tvas to pro vide a home at the most reasonable prices for studeiXe with limited means , and as no young woman -was ever known to reach the a.ga of40 , and the married students having husbands who provide them with a. suffi cient Income to Hive 4s wiiere , these two restrictions work no hardship. These two rules apply only , however , to actually jiving la the club building. The library , which consists of several well filled bookcases , Is open to all American students , In whatever part of Paris they may reside. Informal Afternoon Trad. "In the grand salon tea is served every afternoon at 5 o'clock , and to this Ameri cans ore always -welcome , whether students or tourists , and many avail themselvas of the pleasure. It Is Indeed seldom that the room Is not well filled with laughing , chat ting Americans of all kinds and conditions , the worker and the dilettante , artists , mu sicians and llterateurs , and while the con versation may sometime become a little too technical and savor too much of Melssonlor , Watteau , Rembrandt , or Wagner , Chopin , Bach , or even the living Whistler , one feels that If the club served no other purpose than promoting these little afternoon re unions , Its establishment were not In vain. "The founder of the club , Mrs. Whltelaw Held , on her recent visit to Paris during the sittings of the peace commission , again proved herself the veritable Lady Bountiful she has ever been The complete renova tion of the building , papering , painting and the purchase of new carpets , curtains , etc. , was personally superintended and paid for by her. For some weeks hardly a day passed , notwithstanding her many social engagements , that did not see Mre Reid's carriage waiting at the club house door , while the talked over plans with the head matron , inspected work that was already finished and drank tea and chatted pleas antly with the students In the salon. When all wag completed a delightful reception was given in her honor and was attended by the entire peace commission , the ambas sador , consul general and many American students , who feel that many of the pleas- urea and comforts enjoyed during their student life In Paris is due to the kindly , gracious woman who has so cheerfully spent her time and money In the establishment and maintenance ot the club. " "NVrmtiTii MPII In Demand , There items to be a growing disposition among the big trunk line railroads with headquarters In the east to go to the west for new men to manage their affairs at headquarters. A few years ago W II Bald win , who had been connected with the Union Pacific road In Omaha , was broukt ( east and made one of the vice presidents of the South ern railroad Baldwin was largely Instrumen tal In bringing that great system up to Its present state of efficiency and In giving the states of the socth a railroad service that they had never tjforo enjoyed. Later he was made president of the Long Island rail road , which position he still occupies. Tno or three jears ago the Baltimore & Ohio railroad brought from Cincinnati J H. Maddy , a successful newspaper man of the Queen City , and gave him charge of all press matters connected with the Baltimore & Ohio's service , Mr Maddy has performed and is performing his duties to the entire satisfaction of the rallrcad as well as the newspapers. Now the same corporation has again drawn upon the -aest for another man to occupy perhaps the most Important pcel- tlon connected with the entire service , Fred Underwood of the See line has been brought from St. Paul to Baltimore , where be will act as general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio system. This road , by the way , has made rapid strides toward rehabilitating Itself as ono of the great trunk lines of the country. When It nas thrown Into the hands of the receivers as a result of the poor management of the late Robert Gar- re tt the road was famous principally for the rotky nature of the roadbed and the poor condition of its rolling stock. Within the last three years millions of dollars have been expended In cutting down grades , straightening curves , replacing steel rails and in rebatlasting the roadbed , besides the purchase and leasing of thousands of new freight and passenger cars and scores of new engines.

LOCATION OF FIRING LINE Conric of American Ilnttlr Front Around Manila Uxiilnlned l > r "XVnr Department. WASHINGTON. Feb. 11 As soon ns the last ( Bblegram fro-n Oeneial Otis was posted the officers of the War department were called upon to explain the peculiar language In the beginning , relative to- the movements of the American troops. It ap peared that this % vas strictly correct and that It described what Is believed to have been a simple movement toward straight ening the line of American troops. Expressed generally , the Idea Is that the scene of the last engagement was to north and northeast oC Manila , about four miles out of town. The American troops had been advancing in a northwesterly direc tion. The brigade of Brigadier General H. E. Otis , a volunteer officer , was on the left of this line , the entire line being com manded by General MacArthur. As the line was advanced In the movements made since last Sunday , Otis' brigade bent backward from the main line , in order to face more toward the north , so that the entire Ameri can lines presented at this point an obtuse triangle formation toward the enemy. Yes terday , according to Major General Otis' re port , the left side ot this triangular forma tion was swung1 around so as to straighten out the line , with the result of clearing out the country between its former position and Caloocan , leaving the Americans oc cupying1 that place and straightening the en tire line of MacArthur's division , so that it faces again northeast. It la noticed at the War department that General Otis la acting In the forward move ments only upon evidence of an. insurgent purpose to reorganize and attack the Amer ican forces. This last movement upon Caloo can was caused by a gathering at that place c/ several thousand Filipinos , most of whom had missed the lessons administered to Agulnaldo's men last Sunday , and filled with a desire for vengeance were threaten ing to attack Manila , itself. These men hav ing learned the quality of American troops It Is hoped that there will be little further organized resistance on the part of the in surgents to the execution of our plans. General Otis' closing comment Indicates that this belief Is prevalent among the cooler beads at Manila , so that what Is to be apprehended now is the conduct of an annoying guerrUlawarfare on the part of the Insurgents. General Otis made no refer ence to the situation at Hello and nothing has come to the Navy department from that point , though the presenca of several naval vessels therf would seem to be warrant for the early receipt of any Important event , such AM < the landing of American troops. It Is noted here that the commissioners from Agulnaldo to the Insurgents at Hello who were arrested last Sunday Just as they were about to sail from Manila have not only been allowed to proceed on their jour ney but have been conveyed on a United States vessel along with the Tennessee troops , Th conclusion drawn from this Is that the comralsstoners having seen for themselves the weakness of Agulnaldo's cause are expected by General Otis to Influ ence the inhabitants of the Island of Panay to desist from any further attempt at In surrection.
