bt the chieftains of the contest of that even-
Inn , " referring to the debate on the attempt

At 2:30 : p. m the legislative bill was taken
up , Mr. Mason of Illinois took the floor and
Criticised Mr. Hawley ot Connecticut for.ob-
; jectlng to a vote upon one ot the resolu

tlian the passage of these resolutions when

ot musketry , and In shooting our doctrine
Into tbo people of Philippines "

the measure. In what order the remilnlng
appropriation bills were to be considered.

popriatloa was next to be taken up.

lenf "to bring up the army bill before th
other appropriation bills arc disposed of ? "
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 ? "
inquired Mr. Chandler.
"I mean , " replied Mr. Allen , "tho army
rcorganlzutlon bill , "
'Mr. Cullom said the appropriation com
mittee had nothing to dowith that bill.
"That may bo true. " replied Mr. Allen ,
"but there U such an Intermingling and
commingling of purpcxsca on that side ot the
chamber that It Is dlfQcult to say who Is
responsible. "
Mr. Allison said the committee proposed
to press the appropriation bills as rapidly us
possible.

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.
Captain Palmer left for Omaha today ,
having satisfied himself that only a miracle
will accomplish a favorable consideration of

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.

There his been a marked difference be
tween tbo treatment accorded to the late
Representative Ulnglcy and that shown to
Representative Payne since hewas selected
to be the republican floor leader by
Speaker need. The former was seldom
called to the chair to prcaldo , while the rat
ter has occupied the speaker's desk more
than half the time since he was appointed
chairman ot the ways and means committee ,
The reason for this Is that Mr. Payne has
during Mr. Reed's term of oUlcc > frequently

marked ability as a presiding officer. He has
the physical strength and the parliamentary

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.
