Be Killed on His First Visit,

LOUISVILLE, March 2.-The following
letter was sent tonight to Representative
Caruth of Kentucky by Jay F. Durham,
president of the Blue Grass Club, Of Louis
vile, in reply to Speaker Reeds letter de-
clining to attend the clubs first dinner, in
which he gave as his reason fears Of being
killed:
Hon. asher O. Cdruth, House of Representa-
tives WASHINGTON, d. c..
Your telegram announcing Speaker Reeds
declination to atten the Blu Grass dinner has
been received. The speakers letter to you
sent out by the press association has, think,
been read. Please say to the speaker that
every assurance will be given him that he will
not be killed on his first visit; though in case
he should decide to die out Eere
special attention would be paid by the entire
membership of the club to keep his grave
green. This can easily be done by burying him
beneath the blue grass AS the club has a code
of rules for its government which is in harmony
with general parliamentary law and the consti-
tuition of the United Stat !, it night be that
these are the facts which have deferred him
from accepting.

BOSS MAGEE AND BOSS QUAY.

The Fight Over the Pennsylvania
Patronage Still Hot.
WASHINGTON, March Boss Chris
Magee arrived from Pittsburg tonight to
see whether he could not hasten the con-
frmation of George Oliver, his candidate
for census supervisor for the Pittsburg
district, whose nomination to that office
Boss Quay has had hung up in the Senate
census committee. Boss Magee also wants
to see whether he cannot get his candidate
for surveyor at Pittsburg, Frank Case, ap-
however, win. As a result it has been
thought. Boss Quay might abandon the fight
OF Oliver, but when he hears that Boss
Magee has been here he may return from
Florida to make the fight hotter than ever.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
a Vote on the Blair Bill Expected In
the Senate.

the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Congress ap-
parently has settled down to strictly bust
ness basis. The Senate will duplicate this
week to a great extent the programme of
last week. 1t is hoped, and by some Sena-
tors believed that vote will be reached
during the week on the Blair bill. The
senators are tired of having it hanging over
their heads, and some of those who had
expected to speak on it have abandoned
that intention In order to cut the debate as
short as may be. In case vote is reached
on the bill before the end of the week Sena-
tor Sherman will move to have his bill de-
caring trusts to be unlawful taken up for
discussion. He will be antagonizsd by Mr..
Frye, who, under instructions from the
committee reporting the measure, will ask
that the Pacific railroad funding bill be
made the order of the day. This contest for
position will occur whenever the education
bill is out of the way, if not this week,
then later.
PUBLIC BUILDING BILLS.
Although considerable progress was made
in that direction last week, the order to act
on public buildings and bridge bills is still
in force. This class of measures, therefore,
will continue to occupy the time of the
Senate in the morning hours of the week or
until the Gale dar is cleared.
II Senator George is ready, a portion Of
the morning hours will be devoted to dis
cussion OF the resolution proposed by Sena-
tor Evarts, declaring the power of the
Senate to elect president pro tempore to
serve during the entire session of the body.
Senator George will oppose the resolution
on the ground of oustitutionality.
