what Has Been Done and What VIII be
Done at the Capital.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE discus
sion OF the tariff bill was interrupted in
the House today in order to pass some
District of Columbia measures. 1t is pro-
posed TO continue the tariff debate this
week, and il the pressure to speak be-
comes very great, night sessions will be
held TO accommodate the speakers. 1t is
very likely, however, the discussion will
be suspended long enough to enable the
army appropriation bill TO be acted upon.
The postofice building bill is the un-
finished business in the Senate and will
probably reach vote in the course OF
day or two. The military academy ap-
preparation bill will be pressed upon the
attention OF the Senate by the appropria-
tion bill committee, which intends TO fol-
low it with the Indian appropriation bill.
Ii Is confidently expected that the COM
mitteo on the judiciary bill will report the
long pending judiciary nominations to
the Senate during the week, in which
case a lively contest will doubtless occur
in executive session over the nomination
OF Judge Woods of Indiana.

She Had "A Thick skull.

ST. LoUIs, Mo-, March IA. Nancy Sharp,
n colored woman thirty-two years old,
died suddenly at her home, without
medical attendance. The body was re-
moved to the morgue, and shortly after
ward II was learned that the woman 3
life was insured for $500. story OF foul
play became current, and DR.. William n.
Brennan was sent for 20 make an official
autopsy. IA a result of this the cause OF
the Woman's death was given as conEes-
ton OF the membrane Of the brain, re-
sulting from the extraordinary thickness
OF the skull. At the forehead the skull
was about one inch shick, and IL grad ual-
ly increased until at the back OF the head
IL attained a thickness Of nearly one and

THEIR TRUE POSITION.
Mr.. Fox, M. P., Tells a Boston Audience
About the Irish Party.


Boston, March 14.--The Boston branch
of the Irish National Federation held
meeting in Montgomery Hall last,evening
to discuss the position which the Irish
men OF America should take in repard TO
the Home Rule bill. The hall was well
filed with enthusiasts. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. ThQmss b. Fitz,
President of the Boston Branch OF the
federation. He introduced as presiding
officer OF the evening Commissioners Will
liam j. Burke, Vice President OF the Ma
tional Federation, who made short,
earnest speech. Mr.. Joseph j. Fox, M. p,
the principal speaker, was then intro
duced. He was received with cheers.
Mr.. Fox said that he was, perhaps, in
better position To speak OF the feeling OF
Irish Americans than any other member
of the Irish party. For years he had
worked here among the great numbers OF
Ireland's sons to further the cause OF
Home Rule.
All over the world the Irish face appre-
ciate the great of Parnell, but after the
unfortunate differences arose the cause
lost. But when Parnell's death was an
nounced to the United Kingdom, the
then recognized Header, Justin NJ. Nc
Carthy, said 'let all differences be buried
in his grave but the minority refused.
Previous TO that time the majority was
always respected.
The man elected as member OF Parlia-
ment from Ireland agrees that he will
serve his party faithfully and vote with
the majority. But il conscientiously he
could not vote with the majority he
should resign his seat. The minority
party, with Redmond at their head, have
violated their OATH and they say that IL
we come and do penance in sackcloth and
ashes they will forgive us.
Mr. Fox then defined the true position
of the Irish party in Parliament. They
were with the Liberalists if they (the
Lberalists) would help the Irish cause,
and they would combine with the Tories
in a moment il they would do the same.
The Home Rule cause and the position Of
Ireland would always receive the help Of
inst Enplishmen

UNCLE SAWS NAVY.
The House Committee Tells the story OF the
Past and Present.

The House Committee Tells the story OF the
Past and Present.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Representa-
tive Herbert OF Alabama, chairman of the
House committee on naval affairs, has
NY the naval appropriation bin reported
TO the House. The bill appropriates S23,-
T25,S22 or sS,s14,s3I less than the amount
appropriated at the second session of the
51st Congress, and s3,467 SIC less than the
department estimates. The report says
this reduction has been made without
impairing the progress of our new navy
in great part because of the large surplus
that viii remain on hand unexpended
and TO the credit of "increase OF the ma
Wy" at the end OF the present fiscal year.
The committee reduced the limitation
beyond which no repairs shall be made to
wooden ships from 20 TO 10 per cent OF
the original cost of the vessels and fur
ther provided that no new boilers shall
be made for any wooden vessel. The
committee excepted, however, from these
limitations, the Kearsarge and the Hart
ford, believing that in view of their his
toric services, these vessels should be
kept as patriotic memorials of the past
II also believes that il should be the
settled policy of Congress to authorize
the construction OF one or more new
vessels at each regular session, until we
shall have provided considerably larg-
er number OF fighting ships than we Will
have when these authorized are complet-
ed
The Chilean imhrnglio, continues the
report, developed the fact that our people
at large quite approve of the policy in
which we are engaged, of rehabilitating
the navy.

The Big Coal Strike Makes Things
Decidedly Interesting.
HE CUT HER UP FOR BAIT.
The Revenge a Trinidad Coolie Took Upon
His Unfaithful Spouse -Thieving Prince
Bonapart VIII settle-Uncle Jerry All
Right-vanderbilt's Yacht Won.

LONDON, March 14.-The strike OF the
Midland and other colliery workers for
the purpose Of limiting the output and
raising the price Of coal has begun. When
TO this is added the strike of the Durham
miners for increased wages there is the
stupendous total OF 100000 men refusing
to work.
Since 1879 there have been five advances
OF either five or 10 per cent. in coll iery
wages, making total OF 35 per cent. In
the face of this fact business is except
ionally poor, and the weather OF unheard-
of severity.
This disturbance makes people very
angry, and the trouble assumed another
form today when a big fleet of vessels
from Antwerp with Belgian coal arrived
and were blocked by the refusal of the
dock laborers to unload them. 1t is diff
ficult to foresee more than that.
The question of coal and the combina-
tion of trades unions thus play one an
other. II is the feeling all over England
that during this week coal prices will
rise; they are already unprecedentedly
high.
They have not advanced further, simp-
ly because great number OF industrial
establishments in the north, which have
been running for month at no profit
merely TO give employment, have now
damped their fires and thus heavily re-
duced the demand for coal.
