What is Likely to Engross tho Attention
of the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, March I3.--In the house
the discussion Of the tariff will continue.
1t is somewhat uncertain whether most
of this week will be entirely devoted to
measures relating to the raising of revenues
or to bills for spending them. but most of
the time will be given the former. The
army appropriation bill will probably be
taken up during the week. The poHtoffico
building bills being the unfinished business
in the senate, will probably reach vote in
IL day or two. The military academy ap-
preparation bill is on the calendar aud will
be pressed upon the attention of the sena-.
tors. The Indian appropriation bill will
probably follow. The committee on public
lands will endeayor to secure action on the
bill to protect the rights of aettlers on pub
lie lands and it is confidently expected the
committee on judiciary will report the
judicial nominations during the course OF
the week, in which case a lively contest will
doubtless occur in executive session over
the nomination Of Judge Woods, of
Indiana.
Representative Springer continues to i'm
prove rapidly, and expects to be on his feet
again in a few days. 10 an Associated
press reporter to-night he said while eating
his supper: my appetite is splendid; as
soon us | am able I will go to Fortress Mon
roe, and make no efforts to resume CON
gressional duties for three or four Weeks'
1t is now understood that Springer will
make the closing speech of the tariff de-

A Purely Commercial Enterprise

NEW YoRK, March l3.-Rev. DIR. Ches. Il.
Parkhurst preached another sermon this
morning attacking the administrators OF
tho city government most vigorously In
the Sc of his sermon he said when he
gave information of law breaking to the
district attorney tho latter paid no atten.
tion to it. Ile thought tho reason of this
was that he (Parkhurstl was NOT 'sollu'
with him. This remark was followed by IL
tierco attack on the Iamsnanv hall organi--
2ntlon, in which, among othor things. in
was declared: You cannot got anything
from Tnmmany unless solid with Tam
many. Though d man work night and day
for the city he loves, he has no rights TAM
many is bound to respect. Tho fnct ia,
lammanv hall is not 80 much of II political
organization as Il commercial corporation,
organized nnd carried ON iii the interests of
making tho most possible out OF its official
opportunities. SO that what the rest of us
got out of Tammany we havo to get by
fighting or paying for it.

WAsH1NGToN, March 13. .-Representivo
Herbert, of Alabama, chairman of tho
house committee on naval affairs, hns pre-
pared an elaborate report to accompany
the naval appropriation bill recently re-
ported to the house. After calling atten-
tion to the fact that the bill carries m ag-
grsaate appropriation Of S2., 72G, s2S and ID
over $8 600, 600 Less than the amount appro-
pratea dnring the second session Of the
Fifty first congress- for the current fiscal
year, ana T3O,0tW iess than estimated by
the department as necessary for the year
covered by the bill the report says: I'VE
have been enabled to make the reduction
without IN any manner impairing the pro-
gresB Of our new nayy--in great part be-
cause Of the big surplus that will remain on
hand ct the end Of the present fiscal year,
Speaking OF the refusal OF the committee
TO recommend large number OF improve
| nents at the navy yards and stations, the
report says: "As in anything eise, the eE-
tablishment Of improvements without
limit can be suggested. The committee
followed the rules which should guide
prudent business man in the management
of his own property and in no case refused
TO recommend any expenditure which
seemed to be really a present necessity \
On the question of increase Of the navy
an increase in the number Of ships and
yards, as we'll as increased facilities for
building armor plates. gun forgings, ETC.,
they think every dollar available should be
used to complete vessels heretofore author
ixed before any is expended towat d increas-
ing the facilities for building ships. The
report ends as follows: 1.-The majority
of the committee recommended the
authorization OF one strong and
swift commerce destroyer Of the
type of the New York. whose armor can be
manufactured much more easily and with
less delay than can the heavy armor for the
battle ship. BY extending the construc-
tion Of the new vessels needed over series
Of years we shall avoid the mistake and
prevent the repetition il the different ships
OF the same error, and by keeping the ap-
propriations within moderate bounds each
year congress will commend its programme
TO popular approval. The few mistakes
made thus far are SO insignificant that it
may be safely stated our success in ship
building is renal kable."

RIO DE JAEEtno, March 13.--According
TO private accounts from Santos, the yellow
fever situation has become indescribable.
The authorities are clenrly incompetent to

lowing prent accu1nulations OF freight and
the blockade of shipping. OF the situation
in Rio ds Janeiro the Rio News says: 1--WE
have now reached a death rate Of over
thirty day, which may be considered
epidemic. Shipping is beginning to suffer
severely, and unless something is done ut
once Rio may soon find herself in a posi-

Santos are terrible. man named Beemer

PARIS, March 13.--Tho we'll worn Byronic
quotation regarding the fury of woman
scornod is again recalled by n terrible trag-
eay ut Raincy, in the department Seine-et-
Gise, Of which Versailles is the capital.
Ono OF the leading residents was the widow
Tardlveau, wealthy, fair. fat and 40. She
was also of sentimental turn and very
fond of the society of tho opposite sex.
Among her especial fayorites was Raoul
Gonuillin, q youth Of the neighborhood,
who was handsome, black-eyed fellow,
and had celebrated his twenty-fourth birth
day. Raoul was not enomoured Of the
widow, but he found it profitable to allow
her 70 suppose ne was, and in time she be-
came 50 infatuated that she proposed to set
him mp in business. an offer that be gladly
accepted.
All might have gone we'll had Raoul been
able to control his affections. But he IN
fortunately fell in love with dimpled crea-
tnre named Rosnlie Bertol, to whom he was
Introduced BY All intimate friend, Robert

by a severance OF all relations between

paroxysms Of her laRo like lunutic. By
degrees she grew moro CAIN and then pro-
fessed herself heartbroken. The shock
however, proved too great for her health,
as although tieshy, Nine. Tardiveau was
not really strong. She soon fell into de-
cline and died of rapid consumption after
a brief illnesa.
On her death bed Nine. Tardiveau ac-
comElished what the priests styled the
greatest act OF her life. and deed of heroic
self-abnegation. This was nothing less
than the granting of full and free pardon
to the two anorous young people. to which
she added her best wishes tor their future
health and prosperity. This she empha-
sized il her will BY leaving the prospective
bride small rift Of money, accompanied
by pint Of very rare old Malaga, with a
yellow seal. The bottle was not to be
opened until the wedding day. when it was
to be drunk to the memory of the dear de-
parted.
Tie widow died last month and On
Wednesday Of last week the marriage took
nlace. During the joyous festivities and at
the end Of tEe supper the wine was un-
corked and the bride and groom. together
with che best man, drank the contents. In
