making a thorough search of the car

PETTIGREW's SENSATION.

He Gives Warning That he VIII Defeat
the Pooling Bill If He Can.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-As the ses-
sion of the senate was about to close
last night Mr.. Pettigrew gave de-
cidedly interesting turn to the other
wise tedious debate on the Indian APP
preparation bill It has been dis
cussed for several days and Mr.. Call,
In charge of the measure, sought to
secure an agreement for a final vote
to-day. There were numerous OBJ
iectlons and among them one from
Mr.. Pettigrew. which was emphasized
by the brief but pointed statement
he made. 1t was in the nature of a
disclosure that private arrangement
had been reached among senators
whereby the pooling bill would be
taken up at o'clock to-day and
held before the senate day and
night and every Sunday until
passed. The statement came so I'M
expectedly and was the sequel to such
active work throughout the day by
the friends of the pooling bill that it
created something of a sensation
among the senators and spectators.
Mr.. Pettigrew added to his announce
ment that he would take effective
steps to defeat the passage of the
pooling bill by objecting to the dis
posal of the Indian appropriation bill
or other measures having precedence.
The contract school item of the
Indian bill was completed, in such
form as to provide a 20 per cent re-
duction from the expenditures of last
year. Mr.. Morgan of Alabama spoke
throughout the afternoon in favor of
a judicial system for the Indian ter
ritory, but his amendment to that
effect was finally ruled out of order.
Mr.. Quay presented a memorial
from the Manufacturers club of Phila-
delphia, strongly urging that the
cause of financial distress was the
assault on the American protective
system and Indignantly protesting
against the course of the president in
borrowing money from foreign syn
dictate. The memorial closed with an
earnest appeal to senators and mem
bers to so adjust tariff duties as to
overcome the distress of the treasury.
At 5:15 the senate went into execu-
tive session and ten minutes later ad-
! journed.

Warm Time Expected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The Demo
cratic steering committee of the sem
ate, after many postponements, held
a meeting yesterday and decided to
recommend to the senate that Sena-
tor Butler should be permitted to
move at 8 o'clock to-day for the
consideration of the pooling bill, that
this bill should be continued the I'M
finished business until I2 o'clock
Monday, and if it should not be dis
posed of by that time it should give
place to other business The under
standing created great interest
among the opponents of the bill as
soon as it became known, and they
immed iately began their prepare
tions to antagonize not only the bill
itself, but to if possible prevent its
being taken up. The program was
immediately construed into de cision
to hold Sunday session, and this act
was made the most of by those sena-
tors who oppose the bill.

The surprising success of the new

given to the investors on both sides

important source of apprehension and
hindrance has for the time at least
been removed.

A New Rorseless Carriage

An extraordinary horseless car
riage, which is not electric, but pro-
PEELED by steam, is an innovation in
France. 1t ia built of tubes, which
are incased in a light framework,
and, therefore, not seen. These
tubes form the tank to supply the
water direct to the cylinders, for
there is no boiler. The water is
conducted into two little tubes with
closed ends, over oil-lighted wicks
no larger than those of a duplex
lamp. These supply steam for the
cylinders sufficient to propel a car.
riage tor four persons at the rate of
Is miles an hour over level ground
and three or four miles an hour
up ordinary road grades. The
wheels are fitted with bicycle spokes
and have solid rubber tires. A
coachman sits in front before a pair
OF upright handles not unlike those
of q bicycle, with which he steers.
The first cost OF these carriages is
about 81 900, but the kerosene wick
is a cheap horse and costs nothing
to keep and little to make 20.
