TO Meet on Wednesday The Sioux
Chiefs to Attend the Theatre Tonight.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Both ouses Of
Congress met at 2 o'clock, after a major
ity of the members returned from the
funeral of Secretary Window.
There is a disposition on the part of
the Senate to dispose of some appropria-
ton bills during the week, and it is
probable that the Notifications bill,
which was laid aside temporarily, will
be passed, and that the Pensions and Dis
trict of Columbia bills may also be taken
up, and considerable progress made dur
ing the week.
Mr.. Blair has good reason to believe
that his bill to settle the accounts of la
borers and mechanics arising under the
S-hour law will be considered and even
passed before the week is out, and NJ r.
Platt is confident that he can call up the
Copyright bill without any difficulty.
There is a possibilities slight one,
however-that an attempt will be made
to bring the Bankruptcy bill before the
Senate. The procedure in that body will
depend mainly, however, on the action Of
Republican caucus to be held early in
the week. To this caucus the Republican
Steering committee will report pro
gramme embracing, in all probability
the measures named, and the caucus will
decide as to their disposition.
The greater portion of the time of the
House during the week will be occupied
with the consideration of appropriation
bills. When the diplomatic appropria
ton bill is passed, Mr.. Farquahar will
make an effort to have the subsidy ship
ping bill disposed of, and two days will

PRoslNc. THE MIrlE AFFAIR.
The Legislative Committee MeL'ug @
Thorough Invest gatiOn.

ScoTrDALE, Pa, Feb. ALL is quiet
at the Mammoth Mines. The shaft has
been thoroughly searched for the four
bodies supposed to be missing but no
trace of them was found.
The Legislative Committee, which is
now at the scene making examinations
of the probable cause of the disaster,
has attracted great attention throughout
the region and interest is reviving.
They will continue their investigation
all this week or until it is completed.
Mr.. Farrell, a member of the committee,
who is here. says a thorough and impair
tial investigation will be made. He
says they have been through the shaft
where the explosion occurred, but were
not satisfied with the first visit and
would revisit the mine tomorrow. They
were accompanied by labor leaders and
mining experts.
The members of the committee have
learned that an unexpected fall of slate
liberated a pocket of gas, or firedamp,
which rushed out upon the open lamps
of the miners and exploded, killing all in
the chambers. The committee will
closely investigate the use of open lamps
where gas was known to exist. This
question will receive proper attention at
the coroner's inquest. Contributions
, are daily pouring in for the relief of the
destitute families.

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.

Senator spooner Says He Would Not Ac-
cept the Position.
WASHINGTON, Feb. AIN pointing
out the impossibility of securing anyone
to succeed the late Secretary Window
from a distance within ten days, it is
said that the President opens wide the
door for speculation, and to those who
read between the lines his determination
to place John @. New, of Indiana, now
Consul-General at London, at the head
of the Treasury Department seems ap-
parent.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. New was
very DESTROYS of entering the Cabinet,
and it was thought at one time that he
had the Treasury portfolio in his grasp.
Since he has been in London he has
been in correspondence with Secretary
Window and the President on financial
matters, and his qualifications are such
as to admit of no doubt regarding his
ability to fill the position. That 1ndi'
ana has already one cabinet officer would
not, in all probability, deter the Presi'
dent from appointing his friend to the
vacant secretaryship."
Senator Spooner, whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the va
caucy, in conversation on the subject
said: 81 am not of the financial training
to permit me conscientiously to accept
the treasury portfolio. The President
would not think of offering it to me, anc
if he did would not accept. Please stol
this nonsense and gossip if you can abou
my going into Cabinet position"

TROUBLE IN BELGIUM

The Military Show u Mutinous spirit
Which Excttes Grave approximations.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 2.-The military classes
recently drafted into the Belgian army
to cope with the radical riots, were
promised months leave of absence
This was granted to those stationed in
the provinces, but the authorities
thought best, owing to threatening con-
dition of affairs, to withhold the leave
for the present from those stationed in
Brussels.
Early in the day the drafted men
showed their discomfort by persistent
disobedience of orders, and finally they
left the barracks, and held meetings in
various places, protesting against what
they claimed to be an injustice done
them. The were Joined by workmen's
clubs, who sang the Marseillaise.
The police interfered and compelled
the men to return to their barracks, ar
resting several of the more disorderly.
The mutinous spirit shown has excited
the gravest approximations, as such con-
duct is uneXampled in Belgium, and in
dictates that the socialist feeling is gain
ing ground even in the army.

Miss Potts Dies After Taking Drug Pres
scribed by n Medical student.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Miss Helen Potts,
a pupil at the fashionable finishing school
for young ladies, known as the Comstocl
School, at Fo. 80 West 10th street. died
at II a. m. from acute opium poison.
The drug was taken on the advice Of
Carlyle w. Harris, a young medical stu
dent, who was one of Miss Potts ac-
quaintances and who wrote a prescrip-
tion and had it filled for tine young lady.
Coroner Schultze, after an investiga-
ton of the case, found that the death of
Miss Potts, who was subject to attacks
of heart disease, was due to the action of
the opium in conjunction with her heart
trouble. A further investigation will be
made before the responsibility for the
death is fixed.
No attempt was made to arrest either
young Harris or the druggists who filled
the prescription for Harris, but portion
of the medicine which Miss Potts took is
in the possession of the Coroner, and
will be subjected to an analysis.
Miss Potts was the ouly daughter OF
George Potts, of Ocean Grove, N. j., a
wealthy and we'll known railroad con.
tractor, who has an office at No. 40 Wall
street.

PITTsBURG, Feb. AT a meeting of
the Pittsburg District miners, steps were
taken to secure aid for the Mammoth
Mine sufferers and to enforce rigid min
ing rules in this State One section of
their demands was that barometers be
used in mines, as experience in England
has shown that the deadly firedamp is
more likely to spread and explode with
low barometer than at any other time.
This theory is rather borne out by the
fact that the great Eastern storm caused
low barometer here. which was fol-
lowed by the Mammoth explosion.
