BIG GRIsT OF BILLS

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The
house, fguratively speaking, rolled
up it's sleeves today and entered on
the work of the last legislative day
of this session. 1t requires a steady
eye and swift and accurate judg
ment to pilot matters legislative
through the home stretch, and the
speaker, who is as much of an auto
crat in the closing hours of a dying
congress as the Car of Russia, held
a tight rein. 1t was to be an all-day
and all-night session, and the CALLER
les We're thrOnged, especially in the
evening, when the scene was truly
a brilliant one. In the afternoon the
speaker made a few recognitionS to
pass bills by unanimous consent and
under suspension of the rules, and
several were passed, among them
one to grant the Fort Hayes military
reservation comprising 5000 acres
to the state of Kansas for the estab-
liShment of a Western branch of the
state agricultural college of Kansas,
and to reimburse Washington and

extent of $4,000 for injuries sus-
tanned by it during the war. An at
tempt to pay members salaries with
held for absenteeism failed by few
votes, although it carried on a ris-
ing vote by an overwhelming ma
jority.
AT THE NIGHT SESSION
the conference report of the sundry
civil bill, which contained the SEN
ate provisions for the purchase of
the Blaine site, the payment of the
sugar bounty, the purchase of a
printing office site, ETC., had the
right of way. Mr.. Savers, chairman
of the appropriations committee,
was at the helm, and although the
debate on the sugar bounty was at
times almost riotous, he held the
tiller firm, and long after midnight
in the presence of crowded galleries,
the debate went on.
Mr.. Dingley attempted to offer an
amendment to the senate amendment
so as to pay that portion of the bounty
earned before the new tariff act went
into effect, Aug. 8, 1894.
The chair held that Mr.. DingIey's
amendment was not in order until Mr..
Robertsons motion to agree to the
senate amendment had been decided
and the vote was taken by yeas and
nays. The motion was carried-133-l24
The amendment to appropriate $780,
600 for the Tennessee exposition was
disagreed to 103-78. Mr.. Savers then
moved, under a suspension of the
rules, to disagree to the remain
ing senate amendment and to
agree to a further conference. Mr..
Cannon sought to except the amend
ment providing for an investigation
and survey of the route of the Mica
ragua canal His motion to that eff
feet was agreed to, 1O2-7S, and then Mr..
Savers motion was carried and the
sundry civil bill, at a. M, was sent
to conference.
The house at $3.50 a. m. took a recess
until p. m. Before the recess the
house agreed to a partial report on the
Indian appropriation bill, and the bill
went to further conference.

WAR SHIPS NEEDED.
Matters in Colombia Disturb the
Washington Authorities.


. WASHINGTON, March 2-Secretary
Herbert today received disquieting adj
vices from Colombia, believed to be
from Capt. Cromwell, of the Atlanta,
in regard to the progress of the revo-
luton in that disturbed country. The
Atlanta lies on the Colon side of the
gulf of the 1sthmus of Panama, but
the large American interests on the
west side, including the terminal of
the Panama railroad, are very much
exposed, there being no war ship
nearer than Bonaventura, Colombia;
about 300 miles distant, where the
Ranger has been stationed since Feb.

Three More Recovered.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The fall of
the building in course of construction
in Orchard street is found to have been
more destructive of life than was sup
posed. Today three corpses were re-
moved from the ruins, making the
casualties five killed and eight serious
ly injured. The bodies recovered today
are those of John Morlo, James Ross
and Joseph Mari, all of whom were
employed upon the building. It is pos
sible that as the work of clearing away
the debris progresses, other bodies may
be found, as there are still several mn
who were at work upon the building
who are not accounted for.

SENATE WANTS A CABLE
Refuses to Recede From the Ap-
preparation.

preparation.
WASHINGTON, March 2-The near
approach of the close of congress man
ifested itself today in crowded senate
galleries, eager claimants about the
corridors and the hustle and confusion
of important measures hurriedly han
died. The senate worked industrious
ly throughout the day, and although
the naval appropriation bill invited
fights of oratory on our new navy,
the demands of time reduced this to a
minimum, and made rapid progress
possible. 1t was kept steadily before
the senate throughout the day, and
[ again at the night session, with de-
| termination not to lay it aside until
| passed. There were constant Interrupt
| lions, however, as conference commit
| tees reported their progress on recon-
CLING differences on pending bills be-
| tween the senate and house.
Early in the day the agricultural
| and the Notifications bills were finally
| agreed to, and made ready for the pres
ldents signature. The differences be-
tween the house on the Indian bill were
practically reconciled. Five others be-
sides the naval bill are yet to have
differences harmonized
AT the outset of the debate on the
naval bill, an effort was made to defeat
the plan of reduction made by the ap-
preparation committee, by which the
house bill was cut about 81 6G0, goo and
the number of battle ships reduced from
three to two.
After a sharp debate, in which the
need of strong navy was discussed,
the committee was sustained. Tho
speech of Mr.. Hill, of New York, was
notable in urging that the United
States had won her greatest battle
by diplomacy and reason, instead of
cannon balls and force
Mr.. German took occasion during the
day to state that if the wholesale ap-
preparations stood as already made the
total for this session would exceed
that of any session since the govern
ment was formed
AT THE EVENING SESSION.
The senate conferees on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
reported that they were unable to
agree on the appropriation of $780, 600
for beginning the Hawaiian cable. A
long and vigorous debate followed a
motion to recede, in which Mr. Petit
grew, Mr. Lodge and Mr.. Morgan took
part
Mr.. Morgan closed at ~ 40 a. m, hav-
ing spoken nearly two hours
The motion to recede on the Hawaiian
island cable was defeated-yeas u,

Loss at Last Accounts Three
Hundred Thousand.

SALIVA, Kas., March al AS p. m.
A terrible fire is raging here and
although the firemen are fight
ing heroically it looks as though
all of the west side of SantaFe avenue
from the ODER block north to Iron
avenue will go up in flames. Fire
started at $3.50 in the basement of the
ODER block, fine three-story struct-
ure. The fire has consumed the Ober
block, the Greer block, the Masonic
Temple and is now in the Grand Cen
trail hotel, where a desperate effort is
being made to check it. The loss so
far is over 100000. At 1880 aid was
asked of Topeka but transportation
could not be obtained at that place and
Salina firemen settled down to fight
the flames alone.

He concluded with remarking that he
hoped the reichstag would agree to
the present modest request of the naval
authorities.
Count Won Mirbach, the Agrarian
leader, announced that although the
Conservatives would vote for the
cruiser credit upon this occasion, they
would not promise to support it's
final reading unless the government
showed itself more amenable to the
Agrarian demands.
The reichstag's rejection of the new
torpedo grant was a great disappoint-
ment to the naval authorities. Two
of these vessels were to have been
built, and they were intended to be the
the swiftest vessels in the navy. 1t
having been planned that they should
be constructed SO as to develop a
speed of twenty-five knots per hour,
and be able to make a voyage of
5000 miles without recoaling. They
were expected to be invaluable for
accommodating and for conveying dis
patches, while being also available
as torpedo catchers." The general
belief is that the government will make
another attempt to get the reichstag
to sanction the building of these tor
pedo boats
After concluding the debate on the
estimates resulting in the adoption of
the recommendations of the commit
tee in nearly every case, the reichstag
commenced consideration of the mil
ltary budget. On the vote upon the
salary of the minister of war, Herr
Liebknecht, the Socialist member,
moved an amendment proposing to
convert the German army into
MILITIA FORCE.
He advanced the Swiss military sys-
tenn as a model, and referred to a
similar proposal brought forward by
the French Socialists. He declared
that the Socialists were far from wish
ing to render the country defenseless.
but the democratic spirit of the militia
system served as a protection for the
soldiers against the tyranny of their
superior officers. I'm Germany" said
he, unfortunately, it is customary to
foster pretorianism, in order that the
army might be employed against the
people" loud protests) Rambach,
Rightist, declared that a militia force
was useless except for defensive pur-
poses. The militia system sufticed for
Switzerland and the United States on
account of their position. In his opin-
ion, the most fearful state of all was
defensive system of the demoralized
kind, like that of the Paris commune.
Rickert the Freissinnige leader, said
he believed the French. with the eX-
ception of the Socialists, would be Gag
er for war with Germany if they felt
certain they had to deal with Germany
alone. He reminded the house that a
Swiss officer of the general staff de-
scribed the Swiss army as being in
capable of taking the field. In Switzer-
land also, as in other countries, cases
of lll-treatment of soldiers occurred.
and even with the militia system SOL
diers were liable when serious eventu-
alities arose to become the prey of the
enemy's cannon. Our army" he con-
cluded, lis a good one, and we willing
ly entrust our sons to it."
Won Podbiebski, Conservative. said:
THE Socialists wish to give us a blunt
knife; but we want a sharp sword to
be able at all times to act effectually
for Germany,s honor and protection. !"
Cheers.) The debate was then adj
