WASHINGTON NOTES.
a Forecast of the Coming Week In Con-
gress

a Forecast of the Coming Week in Con-
gress
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house
committee on appropriations intends to
report to the house, both the District OF
COLUMBIA and the consular and diplo-
matte appropriation bills during the
present week. Mr.. Randall has
expressed his Diet erlninatiOn to get all
the appropriation bills through the
house soon rs possible, so they may be
discussed by the senate at an early day .
The Inter state commerce Dill VIII De
called up for continued discussion
when no appropriation is before the
house. Reagan hopes to secure action
on it on Thursday. When
this bill has been disposed OF
the friends of the Mexican pension
bill will endeavor to secure action
on that matter. They will
he antagonized by friends
of the education bill. The senate bill
for the admission of Dakota is
unfinished business, and lts
consideration will be continued
daily after the morning hour until
disposed of. A vote win prob
first special orders on the
senate calendar, and the measure
that is entitled to whatever advantage
that designation confers, is the
bill to establish commission
to regulate Interstate commerce.
Should this measure come up 1t is
likely to consume the remainder of the
week. 1t is understood, however, that
Senator Blair will antsgonize it with
one of the labor bills. When the cailen'
dar is reported from by the. committee
on education and labor. Two
other measures are made special orders
for the week, but it is doubtful II they
will be reached. These are the bills de-
Glazing the forfeiture of the Texas d Pa
cific land grant and the join
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution relating to the veto
power. The military academy ap
preparation bill may possibly
be reported from the appropriation com
lnittee during the week and o'
brought up for action in thu
senate. The only other appropriation
bill before the senate is the. naval bil
making provision for the last half o
the present fiscal year. The senate
prefers to revise the regular appropria
ton bills of last session, and has asked
for a committee of conference. The
house has not responded as yet.

DECATUR, Dec. l2.-[Special.l The
prisoners confined in the Wise county
Jail succeeded in turning themselves
loose about IL o'clock last night. The
following took the chances of blood
hounds and Winchesters and left:
jim Mcintyre, who is wanted in New
Mexico to answer to charge OF MUIR

Henry Tickle, noted crook, who was
in for horse stealing.
Nett Holloway, Tom hatlin, Jim
Evans, for theft.
g Il, McMullen, assault to murder.
They had evidently been doing the
work for several days, as they had
broken off the end of the long, heavy
iron bar, which is known as the brake
that locks the cells from the outside, and
with this bar they forced the bars of the
cage in one corner for about a foot
square and then replaced them SO that
from the outside it would not be noticed,
and waited the. golden opportunity
of catching the jailor off his
guard, which was accomplished
by Tickle playing sick and begging for
water. The Tailor, Al. Lackey, TO al
low Tickle TO get water, turned the
brake, which unlocked every cell, ana
while Tickle was getting water, the
other prisoners gently slipped out Of
their cells into the cage, and then out
through the hole they had prepared.
They overpowered the jailor before he
mjstrusted anything was wrong. IL
was but the work Of few minutes to
dig through the stone wall, and after
securely binding and gagging the Jailor
they left. officers have been after them
ali day, but up to 8 O'Clock tonight
none had returned. McIntire and
Tickle were seen late to-day. about ten
miles north of here, and the officers
started with dogs, and will probably
bring back the worst pair tomorrow.
