MANY MINOR BILLS PASS.
The House Remains in Continuous
Session Now.

Washington June 9.-In order to
guarantee against the failure of quo
rum in the closing hours of the session
the house yesterday revoked all leaves
of absence and ordered the sergeant
alarms to telegraph absentees to re
turn forthwith
The final conference report on the
pOstOffice appropriation bill was agreed
to. This leaves but four appropriation
bills still in conference. The cOmpro-
mise relative to the old settlers claims
in the Indian bill was also agreed to-
leaving only the sectarian school ques-
ton in the bill open
Bills and joint resolutions were pass
ed calling on the secretary Of the treas
ury for Information as to the steps ia
ken to procure a settlement OF the dis
puted question Of the liability o1 Tir-
ginia or West Virginia for $685. 900 of

Tit Now Appears Congress viii
Get Away Wednesday.
Only Four Of the Supply Bills
Left to Pass.
MINOR BILLS
Get Through Both Houses Of
Congress.
Contested Election Case Among
the Democrats.

washington, June 9.-Both Senator
Allison, chairman of the appropriation
committee and Mr.. Cannon. chairman
of the appropriation committee Of the
house say that the situation indicates
a final adjournment on Wednesday. The
house has agreed to the final confer
ence on the postofice appropriation
bill and the senate passed the general
deficiency bill as it came from the
house.
This leaves four Of the great supply
bills still in issue-the District Of CO.
lumbia, the Indian, the naval and the
sundry civil bills. Although neither
house has yet acted on the report the
conferees on the naval bill have agreed
on a report which, it is thought, viii
prove acceptable to the house and SEN
ate. 1t compromises the question Of the
number of battle ships by authorizing
three instead Of four, as the bill passed
the house and two as it passed the
senate. The question of the maximum
cost of armor plate, fixed by the house
at S425 per ton. and by the senate at
1920 per ton. is postponed until the next
session Of congress.
In the sundry civil bill, the public
building items are still the bone Of con-
tentlOn and IN the District OF COluL1D4d
and the Indian bills, the question of
sectarian charities and sectarian
schools respectively are the only
items in issue. The leaders Of both
houses expect an adjustment Of the
controverted questions in time for an
adjournment on Wednesday, The fact
that the Republicans of the house have
insisted upon taking up contested
election case in the closing hours of
and they may force the majority to
furnish their own quorum to unseat
another Democrat As the Republicans
have not a quorum of their own in the
: city, this furnishes the main cause for
alarm, so far as the house is concerned.

LIE BooK "a BLooD.
Is introduced by Senator Morgan in
a Speech on Cuba.

Washington, June 9.-The senate
made but little progress yesterday to-
ward final adjournment.
The immigration bill was before the
senate after O'Clock, but Mr.. Morgan
of Alabama diverted the debate into
discussion of Cuba He took occasion
during his speech to disclaim having
made harsh criticisms on the queen
regent of Spain
Mr. Morgan branched off to the pres
ent war and said the conditions were
such as to justify Intervention by the
United States. The senator read from
the book of blood" showing the atrOci-
ties of the late war.
Mr.. Morgan said he had been assailed
for desiring war between the United
States and Spain. He did not deny,
ne said. that he was not averse to war
if Spain. in her pursuit of abOmin-
able despotism, continues to wage war
on Cuba
Mr.. Morgan disclaimed the harsh
statements attributed to him against
the queen regent of Spain. If the
queen of Spain, the queen of Great
Britain, the queen of Greece and the
empress of Germany could meet fin that
stricken island and witness some of the
brutaities, indignities and Outrages
forced upon the defenseless women and
children, then yau would find these
hands against such atrocities and end
ing the rule of the brute WeyIer.
Mr.. Morgan referred in closing to the
reports that the president contemplate
ed using the Offices of the United
States toward inducing the Cubans to
lay down their arms, receiving ia turn
from Spain a reciprocity treaty. The
senator did not know how far the un-
authorized interference in the affairs
of other countries would proceed but
he regretted that the president had not
seen At to act with congress in seeking
to remedy the conditions in Cuba.

the building of a church? is a question
puzzling the people Of Madrid, Boone
county. 3. Arie owns a saloon in that
town, operated under the mulct law
which forbids saloons within 300 feet Of
any church or school.
Lately the erection of a Methodist
Episcopal church has been commenced
within 300 feet of the saloon. and Arie
claims that either the saloon or the
church must be outside that limit. AS
the saloon was there first, the claim is
made that the same law that prescribes
the rule for the saloon operates as a
bar to a church being erected within
saloon territory, and threatens injunc-
ton proceedings. The courts viii set
tie the matter in some shape, either
through the proposed injunction or pro-
ceedings to close the saloon after the
church is built
