WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The week prom
ises. to be eventful in the Senate. Save the
passage Of the quarantine bill the Senate
has accomplished very little, and not one OF
the annual appropriation bills has passed.

advance public busip ess. What will follow
the anti-option bill will be decided by the
committee before Wednesday.
The majority has mapped out big pro-
gramme for the House. Tomorrow efforts
will be- made to pass the Raum Pension
Office report and the bill for the election Of
Senators by the people by two-thirds vote
The majority Of the Rules Committee has
decided to alIot Tuesday to bills coming
from the judiciary Committee, Wednesday
to the immigration bill. Thursday and Sat-
urday to bills originating with the Commit
tee on Foreign and Interstate Commerce,
and Friday, under the regular rules, is pri-
vate bill day.

ton bill, and it is hardly likely that one
day will suffice for its passage. There is a
probability of some trouble for both the
quarantine and immigration bills from op-
position members, The Commerce Com
mttee has formidable list of measures
which 1t hopes to pass. headed by the omni-

among the spectators, who, in almost every
instance were weil-tO-do lawyers, bankers
and theatrical people. The gentleman who
arranged the unique affair is quite we'll
known TO the general public as a manager
of amusements and may be guessed at by
the mere mention Of his flowing whiskels g.

Queer Story of a Destitute
Woman.
DENIED BY HER RELATIVES
She Claims to Have Married Nephew
of the Senator-Born at Vir-
gEnia City.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-A local Iaper prints
a rather remarkable story of young woman
calling herself Mrs. John Sharon. who an
piled to the Relief and Aid Society yester-
day for assistance. She said she never saw
her father aud her mother died week after
she was born. She was adopted by NJ.
Adams. who afterward became Mayor of
Virginia City and a member OF tile Nevada
Legislature.
She was given every advantage, and at
the age of IA was sent to Mills academy
for young ladies in Oakland. While there
she met John Sharon. nephew of Senator
Sharon, and when she was Is they were
married. They lived happily together for a
number of years, and had three children,
the eldest of whom Is now 13 years OF age.
Her husband had good position In Com
stock mine, given MIN by the Senator.
Two years ago her husband died. leaving
practically nothing. She had $1,000 left her
by her brother. whom she discovered after
she was married, and who died before her
husband. She says she appealed TO the
Sharon family, but they declined to have
anything to do with her.
A year ago she went to El PasO, Texas,
on visit and there met q handsome
SpaniaTd, Joseph Lopez with whom she
became infatuated and whOm she married

THE KANSAS DEADLOCK.
Topeka Enjoying Period of Re-


Topeka. Kans., Jan. 15.--Many warning
statesmen are spending Sunday with their
families, and the city is enjoying tho first
quiet it has experienced for nearly two
weeks. The armstice declared yesterday
afternoon furnished the greatly needed
breathing spell. and the situation is being
reviewed calmly and apart from the exeit-
ing events that have happened hourly for
the past week.
Much talk is INDUCED in looking to an
amicable consolidation of the two organiza-
tions. Many Populist members have pri-
vately conceded that the Republican House
is the legal one, but the fact that there is a
Populst majority in the Senate, and that
the Populist Governor has recognized the
minority House, leaves them powerless to
recede from the action taken. The Repub-
licans will consider no arbitration PROPOSE
tion which does not recognize their organ
iZation as legal and regular.
This being the spirit manifested on both
sides, there is no immediate prospect Of a
change in the condition of the House. The
conditions will remain unchanged until one
side or the other attempts TO assume the ag-
gressiye and by force to assert its authority.
Neither as yet shows any disposition to do

Three Hundred People on the Verge

PITTsBURG. Jan. 15.-The continued cold
weather has increased the suffering at
Homestead and it is stated that nearly 300
people are on the verge of starvation. Con-
tributions are still coming in, but the aggre-
gate amount is so small that it will not pro-
cure the bare necessities. In the mill there
is great deal of dissatisfaction over wages.
Yesterday was the first pay day under the
new scale, and many workmen claim that
the envelopes did not contain more than
one-half the amount received for the same
period before the strike. A number OF men
stated to-day that they would quit or strike
just as soon as there was warmer weather.
The officials deny that there is any dissatis
faction and claim that il the wages are
smaller it is the fault of the men. who have
not been working as hard as formerly.
