THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Prospects for n Dull Woek-Appropria
tion Bills In tho House.

Prospects for n Dull Wcek-Approprin
tion Bills In tho House.
WASHINGTON. D. G., March 4.-The
senate has made SO little progress
towards legislation during the past two
or three weeks that the calendar has
been changed only in very slight de-
gree, and the special orders mado some
time since, except in tho case OF 4 few
speeches, are still undisposed OF. The
printing bill. tho Russian thistle bill,
and the McGarrahau bill all hold their
places where they can be called up in
order, but they arc subject to displace.
ment II any question or more general
importance should be presented, even
though informally.
II the tariff bill should not be ro-
ported during the week, it is still likely
TO be referred to and speeches III ado
upon it. 1t is tho subject which is up
permost in tho minds OF ull senators,
and is linblo to appear in the unex-
pec!ed in some shape. There probably
will also be 4 few more speeches on the
Hawaiian question. Senator Gallery
has not yet made his speech on the sub
ject OF which he gave notice some timo
since, and there are also other senators
who probably will wish to be heard II
opportunity o[lers. For the rest, and ii
no other general subjcc. should present
itself, tho senate may bo expected to
take up tho calendar and dispose of as
many OF the minor bills as possible.
TIE HOUSE.
There will bo lull in tho house ior
weeks after the excitement that has
existed there since the holidays. 1t is
tho intention Of tho house managers to
push the consideration OF tho appro-
priation bills to the exclusion OF every
thing else during the coming week.
Two days, probably three, will be taken
to complete tho consideration OF the
pension appropriation bill which has
been under consideration for tho past
two days. After it is disposed OF, the
District OF Columbia aud consular and
diplomatic bills will consume tho
balance OF the week. When these are
completed, the election cases will be
tuken up aud then the house will re-
turn 10 the other appropriation bills.

several OF the towns and cities OF tho

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 4.-Tho
situation has again assumed serious
aspect. Late this afternoon it BECAME
evident that there was move on foot
at Montgomery TO arrest Capt. Wyant.
A warrant was issued for his arrest by
Squire Adkins, whose son was among
the strikers. with whom his svmpa.
thies are enlisted. A call was made for
q posse to take Wyunt and number
volunteered saying, "Ycs, We will go
and kill him." What happened after
that is not yet lat 9;30 p. m. known,
except that Wyant was placed under
arrest about $3.50 p. m. He had beon
instructed by his attorney, ]. W. St.
Clair, to resist arrest in case he was to
be taken TO Montgomery, as il was
feared personal violence might result.
A messenger was sent TO warn him that
he was TO be arrested. but it seems no
made no resistance as they promised he
would be taken to Fayette IN the morn.
ing and tried.
The miners are gathering in large
numbers at Eagle and are very much
excited, though no actual violence has
occurred up to this time. 1t is feared
that an attempt will be made to take
Wyant from the authorities and lynch
him. The feeling ia extremely bitter
against him.

SOMETHING IL THE WIND.

Something is in tho wind up the
river. All evening freight trains have
been passing Eagle, going toward Mt,
Carbon, loaded with strikers. A large
number have gone up on foot. As thew
passed the troops they would veil nt
them insulting epithets and say, "We
will come back and kill you," and
things to the same effect. It is not
known what it means-perhaps meet
ing of strikers, perhaps violence. Tho
Chesapeake & Ohio is poworless and
cannot refuse to carry the men, for il
it did they would tear the track up and
do other damage OF like nature. Things
arc bad enough as it is. The strikers
get up on tho hill and fire at the loco
motive headlights and throw rocks at
passing trains. One rock was thrown
down a caboose chimney yesterday, and
another passed through window. No
one was nurt.

A COMPLICATION.
-rnst pnpsaa a rnnoI;n,

This arrest causes complication,
Wyant being deputy sheriff when the
riot occurred tho arrests Of the other
deputies will probably follow. It is
probable that one party will be taken
to Fayette for trial and the othors to
Montgomery, in which case prejudice
will prevent q fair preliminary. A
ludicrons sceno was presented to the
situation this evening when the sheriff
with three or four soldiers went to
Montgomery to arrest strikers. A tele-
gram was sent the governor sayiug that
the city had been invaded by military
force. The town marshal put his hand
on the sheriff and arrested him sin the
name OF the state OF West Virginia."
He was laughed to scorn, the sheriff 20
ing about his business and paving no
attention to tho arrest. Montgomery
city sergeant B. W. Moore and acting
Mayor McNabb arc particularly Jealous
in impeding the sheriff, the entire mu-
nicipality being with the strikers.
l asked Governor MacCorklo what he
thought OF Alontgomery's attitude, and
he said 1t was pitinble ignorance on tho
part OF their officials not to know that
they could not keep sheriff from ex-
ercising state warrants within city
limits. "a city could bc turned into n
refuge for criminals if that wero the
case" said he. Montgomery pcoplo
will make trouble for themselves ii they

The Topeka women of the Equal Suf-

very much put out to say the least be-
cause they think they have discovered .

favor.
According to Mrs. Johns construction
of the constitution, women VINO are in
aympathy with suffrage may, if they have
no branch of the association at their
homes, 20 to the meeting, pay their dol
lar and have votes as delegates.
Under the ruling the Topeka contin-
gent could, if it had money enough to
pay its railroad fare to Winfield, dissolve
its org anization of fOrty-fi members
and go in a body 10 pack the convention
against Mrs. Johns, but they are not GO
ing to do it.
There was a special session held Of the
Topeka auxiliary at DR.. Harding's room.
at which the matter was discussed, and
the following resolution was carried, in
protest:
Whereas. Our attention has been called
to a letter sent out to the suffrage cam

state president and secretary. in which
the following clause appears: Cam

If you do not resolve your club into an

A MOOD OF PARDONS
To be Expected in the Latter Days Of the

Governors Term.
Governor Lewelling like all of his pre-
decessors during the last few weeks Of
his administration, is being urged to issue
numerous pardOns to prisoners confined
in the penitentiary and IN the county
jaiis
There is scarcely a day that there are
not from one 10 a dozen callers at the ex-
ecutive Office who want to see the gov
ernor, personally" This class of callers
are aside from the regular run of politi-
cal visitors; people who want some friend
pardOned.
The state board sof pardons shas been
in session Tor two weeks and the last of
the week q large list Of recommendations
for executive clemency Will be submitted
to the governor.
Applications for pardons for violaters
of the prohibitOrv law are not made to
the board Of pardons, but are submitted
to the governor direct.
These applications the governor gen
orally refer TO his private secretary.
and if Col Fred J. Close makes the
proper recommendation, the pardon Is
generally issued.
