WASHINGTON.

BY American Press Association to the STAR.
/ WASHINGTON, March 25.-None of the
great appropriation bills have yet been
passed by the House, and the indica.
tions are that it will be many days be-
fore the Legislative Bill will reach the
Senate. An effort Will be made next
week to have the Hou4e hold night ses-
sions for business. Besides the current
business there are thirty important in
in progress.
When the articles of impeachment are
reported against Belknap. there will
necessarily be a postponement of cur
rent business for several duys at'least.
All things considered, the outlook for
adjournment before dog-iaysis is not very
pleasant, unless much legislation is left
undone. Both the Senate and House
have adjourned until Monday.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Judici.
airy Com nlttee this forenoon took the
testimony of Mrs. Marsh in the BeIknap
Impeachment case. No new facts were
elected.

Death of Speaker Kerr,

Though long expected, the death of
Speaker Kerr, which happened at Rock
bridge Alum Springs, on Saturday night,
will create feeling of painful regret all
over the country. He was man of un-
fiinching honesty and integrity, one OF
those whom the country needs now more
than ever to successfully guide its
affairs.
Abiding editorially to his death the
New York World says
The Speaker seemed made to be OF use
IN the present crisis of affairs. He had
studied the financial and economical
questions which this generation must
solve, carefully, and had reached sound
conclusions. He had little hesitation
about what was the right thing to do.
and no fear about doing it. His faithful
service to his party made him beloved
and trusted, and gave him an influence
in Democratic counsels which no other
man possessed, The West was proud of
him. because he belonged to that section;
the East honored him for his steaS fast
adhesion to safe theories of finance; the
South loved him on account of his ardent
championship of her cause during the
DARK days of reconstruction. Amor 9
men OF all parties he was esteemed for
the purity OF his life and the nobility of
his motives. The opportunity for the
accomplishment of great things seemed
given to him, but his hand failed from
the sceptre staff He was but tho
shadow of himself, and could not wieIa
the power which the good will of the
people put within his reach. Few will
ever know how he yearned for health
and strength 10 throw himself into th,
political chaos that existed at Washing
ton early in the winter, and bring orde,
out OF disorder. Few will ever know how
irksome it was for him to feel, as he sa,
above political lists and watched the
movements Of the champions, tina. his
own days for jousting were over, and
that go how it might with his party. he
was pow erless to give it aid.
He was man to whom life was
serious matter. He was full Of convic.
tions, and though sentiment miyb,
prompt some of his actions, prinoipIe
controlled them all. lie could not he

OF others be was willing TO sacrifice i.
