In the House.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-The house
having disposed of all the appropriation
bills, will devote the balance of the ses-
sion, except such portions as are con-
sumed by conference reports, to clearing
up such matters as opportunity affords.
This week promises action on several
measures. The Picker general pension
bill, which was under debate last week
for three days, will be voted on tomorrow
if the clamor for more time for debate is
not too importunate, in which case the
debate may be allowed to run on for sew
eral days. Mr.. Picker, however, believes
a vote can be obtained tomorrow. The
measure will probably receive every Re
publican and quite a number of Demo-
cratic votes. 1t has been agreed that the
bill to empower the president to retire
John NJ. Quackenbush as commander in
the navy shall be taken up on Tuesday.
Commander Quackenbush was court
martialed and dismissed from the navy in
1874 on charges of excessive intoXication.
He has now reached the age when, had
he not been SO dismissed, he would be
retired.
The house has also agreed to take up
the bankruptcy bill this week and devote
three days to its consideration.
Should these three measures be dis
posed of before the end of the week, there
are several contested election cases pend
ing. OF course everything win have to
give way if conference reports on appro-
priatiop bills are presented.

WHAT LAWMAKERS MAY DO THIS
WEEK.
Appropriation Bills in the Senate
Early Adjournment Has l,cen De-
cided UpOn-Tren~urv Deficiency.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The senate
programme for this week so far as de-
ter1nined upon includes only the con-
sideration of appropriation bills. begin
ming with the naval b:ll on Monday and
following that closely with either the
river and harbor or District of Columbia
bill, probably the former. There may be
spasmodic efforts to get up other meas
ures, but the probabilities are that moth
ing else of any general Importance will
receive attention. Certainly nothing will
be taken up which will lead to general
debate if the committee on appropria-
tons can control the order OF business.
1t is expected that there will be an
effort on the part of Senator German
ma other senators to amend the naval
Oh only two battleships instead of four
as the bill provides.
There IS also an element in the senate
favorable to increasing the number to
six. IT is, therefore. expected that this
bill will develop considerable debate
The river and harbor bill will I'M
doubtedly be made the subject of severe
attack by Senator White and others
who stand with him on the southern
California aeep water question unless
there is q change of the present decision
of the committee which is in favor of
Santa Monica.
A large majority of the senators. al
most all of them, in fact, now regard
early adjournment as quite determined
upon. If the Democrats and Populists
ever had any idea of attempting to pro-
long the session beyond the national con-
vention, they appear to have given it
UP, and few of them now fix the date

SYDNEY, N. S. w, April 26.-Sir

The Hon. Sir Henry Parker, G. c. M.
G., was the son of a Warwickshire

DYGERT's CASE.
HE TELLS THE STORY OF HIS
TROUBLES ABROAD.
Flimsy Charges Made Against Him
Good Work Done by n Little
Ready Money-other Cuban Chat
ter.

TAMPA, Fla, April 26-W. G. Dy-
CERT of Greenwood, Ill, arrived here
this afternoon from Cuba, where he
has just been released from prison.
He has been confined two months ex-
actly. Dygert left Tampa on Febru-
airy Is without getting a passport. He
went into Havana on February 90. He
was arrested in the province of Ha-
vana and placed in prison at Guines.
The only charge against him was that
a Spanish soldier found an old Sharpe
gun near the place where he was ar
rested. It was of very ancient make
and no cartridges are now made to fit
its cahbre. He was given several So
called examinations; permission to
write to friends or the United States
consul was refused, but when he was
searched the soldiers failed to discover
several hundred dollars in paper mon
ey concealed on his person. Soon after
his incarceration he bribed a guard to
report his case to the American con-
sui, paying $40, $50 to be paid on re-
ceiving information that the case had
been reported. On March 20 the guard
handed him piece of Spanish news
paper, from which he learned that the
case had been reported. March %
Consul Williams notified him his re-
lease had been requested. April % he
fore a judge at o'clock at night and
informed that if he would sign a paper
written in Spanish he would be re-
leased. He found that nothing taken
from him was to be returned, SO he re-
fused. Consul Williams came down
about 10 o'clock and his release was
effected. Dygert says that during the
time he was in prison he was confined
in room about Is by Is feet. Thirty
two other prisoners were in the same
room. The drinking water was awful
and kept him sick a great deal of the
time The food was very. scarce, of
decidedly poor quality. Dygert is a
placer miner from Idaho and was sim
ply out to see the south during the
winter months, when he could not
work. After he arrived in this city
he decided he would see something of
the tropics and concluded to go to
Cuba and did not care to experience
the delay necessary to get passport.
He will lay his case before the state
department at once and ask that ac-
ton be taken as soon ais possible in
damages against the Spanish govern
ment.
