OFF WEEK IN CONGRESS
Only Two Matters of Importance
 on the Programme.
PREPARING FOR A TARIFF FIGHT.

Senate Clearing Decks For Lively Action
 When the Bill Is Reported-Peckham's
 Nomination May Be Settled Soon-To
 Vote on BIand's Bill Wednesday.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-There will be an effort on the part of the senate during the present week to clear up the calendar as far as possible prior to taking up the tariff bill, which, when it is reported to tke senate, is expected to exclude the consideration of most other subjects. The speechmaking during the week Is to Ee devoted to a vari ety of topics, including the Stewart bonl resolution, the Turpie Hawaiian resolution and probably the resolution of Senator Hale instructing the committee on finance to grant hearings on the tariff bill.
 The speeches on the Stewart resolution will be made during the morning hour and the Hawaiian speeches later in the day. Senators Gray and Daniel have given notice of speeches on the Hawaiian resolution for today, and Senator White of California is among others who probably will address the senate later in the week this topic
 The bill to compel railroad companies operating roads in the territories over rights of way granted by the government to establish stations at all town sites es- tablished by the interior department is the unfinished business on the calendar and when it is disposed of the bill to provide for additional accommodations for the gov ernment printing office will be taken up and acted on as soon as practicable There will also be general effort on the part of senators to have private bills or bills of minor general importance taken from the calendar and passed.
 It is believed that the committee on the judiciary will dispose of the Peck ham nom ination today, and if so there will in all probability be at least one day during the week devoted to an executive session for the purpose of passing upon this nomina tion.

When the rarin Bill VIII Be Reported.


 WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-Members of the senate finance committee say that there has been a great deal of transformation sent o.t about the time when the tariff bill will be reported to the senate It is claimed that no time could possibly be fixed for reporting the bill until the full committee came together. Besides the bill is not ready to be reported yet from the subcommittee, and the members of that committee cannot tell when it will be It is also said that while it is from time to time asserted that an agreement has been reached on certain schedules, as a matter of fact nothing is definitely arrang. ed, and what has been done so far is sub ject to change by the subcommittee while it has charge of the bill and by the Demo cratic membership when they come to con slider the work of the subcommittee. The only thing that seems to be settled definite ly is that the intention is to make the bill provide sufficient revenue for the govern ment, and to this end articles will be taken from the free list, and increases will be made in some directions.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
that AWFUL INNING.

HAT AWFUL INNING.
Fourteen Runs in One Inning-It Lost Us
the Game of Course, but Not Our Faith
in Carey-He Gave Eight Men Bases on
Balls, but 1t was Extraordinary that
1t Must Be Excusable-It was a Freak
of Nature, or Accident, or Fortune, as
You Please.
The detailed score of yesterdays game
would naturally suggest to the average mind
a query as to how the Portlands even
managed to win two straight games from.the
Worcesters. But to one who saw the game
it was evident that with the exception of
THAT REMARKABLE INNING
the Portlands played as good game as the
visitors.
The first inning yielded nothing to both
sides. Then in the second the Portlands
pounded Potter just as if he wasn't crack
pitcher. They made five hits and four runs,
one of them earned. 1t looked like third
victory, certainly.
But there is nothing certain under the
sun-not even Carey's good right arm and
clever carelessness. The Worcesters came
in in the last of the second. Kennedy got
