land, chopped off one of the few remain
ing days left the Senate to transact the
before March 4 If an extra session is to
be avoided.
The Senate is much behind the House
in work upon appropriation bills. This
condition of affairs has brought out re.
newed predictions of an extra session
Eheir character is, however, purely
Ipasmodic.
Mr.. Allison, the chairman of the Sem
rte Appropriations Committee, and Mr..
Cannon, the chairman of the House
Committee, both say that while it would
require pretty sharp work to get through
the business, they had no doubt of such
a result being reached There will, how.
ever, be involved in the reaching of this
end. night sessions of both Houses. These
sessions commenced in the House last
night, and will commence in the Senate
tonight. BY means of them, it is said
IL O'Clock on the 4th of next March
will find Congress ready to adjourn.
The only business now possible out
side of the appropriation bills is the
Shipping bill, which was made a special
order for to-day and tomorrow. The
bill differs materially from the bill that
has heretofore passed the Senate.
The House bill will be abandoned, it
is said, and the Senate measure put in
it's stead The House, it will be remem.
bered, proposed to subsidize both steam
and sailing vessels. The Senate bill sub.
sidizes only steam vessels.
There is no chance of the Copyright
bill being passed. Mr.. Reed has it on
his desk in its amended form as it came
from the Senate, and refuses to appoint
eonferrees.

An Appeal for Votes to be Made by the
Quebec Bishops an Sunday.
OTTAWA, Feb. 26.-On Sunday next Sir
John Macdonald will play his trump
card in the Quebec section of his colossal
contest.
1t is stated ON reliable authority that
the Roman Catholic Church has as yet
only sounded the first note, and that a
collective pastoral letter signed by all
the archbishops and bishops in Quebec,
defining their attitude, will be read in
all the Catholic churches of the province
on Sunday. It is believed that this let
ter will powerfully influence the-whole
Catholic electorate of the province.
1t is also claimed that every Conserva-
tive candidate will be authorized to as
sure his supporters that after the cleo
tions, and within the statutory time, the
legislation OF the Manitoba Assembly re-
garSing separate schools in that prov
ince and the dual language question will
be disallowed. This is said to be the
price the church has demanded for its
support of the government.

II There Is u Strike on the Pennsy lvanla
All tho Trainmen VIII Go Out.
~ P1TTsBuRG, Pa, Feb. 26.-The confer,
ence of the Penn sylvania officials to ar
range a schedule of wages is still in ses
sion, and will not adjourn until this af
ternoon. The men are awaiting tho
company's proposition, and nothing
will be done until after it has been pre-
scented.
The company does not antici pate that
the new operative schedules will be sat
isfactory to all the men, for the reason
that the contemplated equalization will
reduce the pay of some of the men. This
may have the effect of creating differ
ences in the councils of the grievance
committees.
While the company appears to feel Sc
cure on the strike question the attitude
of the men is directly opposite. They
are as firm in their sentiments to-day,
even more so, than they were a week
ago.
Forty engineers, representing the
Brotherhood enginemen of all the
Pennsylvania Railroad organizations,
have decided to act with the
other organizations in their efforts to
secure higher wages. This action was
declared at the engin eers' conference
yesterday. 1t means that engineers.
tiremen, conductors, trainmen and
swithmen on. the entire system con-
cerned will act as a unit.

NO TARIFF ON MARRIAGES.
EIonIng Couples VIII Not he Interreret
With for the Present.


TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 26.-Camden's
reputation as the Gretna Green of Penn
sylvania couples has been saved.
A school teacher at Cape May had .
bill introduced in the Legislature which
compelled the couples intending to marry
to go before the clerk of the Common Pleas
Court and swear to a'lot of inconvenient
questions. They were to pay tax, too.
Assemblyman William Cole, of Cam
den, rose to the rescue of the blushing
couples and the Camden clergymen. He
asserted that the bill restrained the
liberty of private citizens. Eloping
couples might do worse than go to Cam
den to get married. He protested
against taxing couples for what their
grandparents had done with impunity.
The bill was aimed at one of Camden's
best industries, and he didn't want the
industry of marriage interfered with.
Assemblyman Engard also defended
Camden, but Assemblyman Mullone, of
Hudson County, put himself on record
against the Gretna Green industry.
The result was the defeat of the bill by
just five votes.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 26.-Reports
received up to noon show that at least
six persons have lost their lives in the
floods of the past few days, and perhaps
many more who have not been account

bodies of two Mexicans were found in
the same neighborhood. S. Laurens

Rivers broke from their banks and ran
together, making a great inland lake,
six to 10 miles wide and II miles long.
Many houses have been swept away, and
their occupants are missing.
