BiOn-Dollar Wholly Inadequate as an Appeation for

Host OF Private Pension Bills.
Many of Which Were Vetoed-NOteworthy Bills Which

Signature.

senate found 1t useless to discuss that
proposition. One feature Of the ses-
SiOn'S record worthy of note is the
great number of private pension bills
passed, many Of them placing the
widows of officers on the pension rolls
at ratings ranging from $50 to SIS a
month. Private claims and war claims,
on the other hand have been few. Sew
eral of the pension bills were vetoed
by President Cleveland, but congress
enacted some Of these despite the veto
by the necessary twO-thirds majority.
Several important bills are in the hands
OF the president, awaiting his action,
foremost among them the immigration
Dill, which establishes an educational
test for immigrants and bars out
laborers who maintain their homes in
other countries. The anti-scalping bill
may be submitted to the executive for
his action within two or three days
and since Senator Chandler has given
notice that he will move that the SEN
ate accept the house amendments to
the bill authorizing the president to
call an international monetary con-
ference, it is likely that President
Cleveland will be given an opportunity
to sign his name to that The bill for
the reorganization of the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad company is also on the
presidents desk.

Sanguilly Grateful to Lee.
On His Way to Washington to Take Place of Honor in
the Inaugural Parade.

KEY WEST, Fla, 28.-Gen. Julio
Sanguilly has arrived from Havana
by the steamship MascOtte He was
at first indispOsed to say anything
further than what would express his
lasting gratitude to Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee, whom he described as
a truly noble American, and a man who
should long ago have been in Cuba.
Had he been there three years ago.
Gen. Sanguilly exclaimed, there would
have been less shedding of American
blood"
He was very much agitated as he eX-
pressed his feeling toward Consul Cen
eral Lee. Asked how he was treated
during his confinement, he begged
earnestly not to be compelled to detail
his experience during the last two
years. Why" said he, Il have not
been allowed to read one solitary news
paper, except those published on the
island. When l heard of the death
Of brave Gen. Maceo, it almost made
me collapse, not because I thought the
death Of any one man would check the
progress of the Cuban cause, but be-
cause l knew that the butcher WeyIer
would not be recalled as Spain would
try to pacify the people by pointing
TO MaceO's death as a great victory
for the government
Speaking Of his plans for the future
Gen. Sanguilly said 81 do not know
them myself but I am now going to
Washington to attend the Inaugural
parade, having been invited by the old
veteran boys to parade with them. I
have been given a place Of honor in
the parade. After that, l shall go to
New York to see my brother who has
worked SO faithfully for my release"
Gen. Sanguilly's wife was equally
loud in her praise Of Consul General
Lee. He is the best of men," she

Powers Set Limit of Four Days in Which Hostile Forces
Must Withdraw
Cretans Will Not Lay Down Arms.
Declare They viii Accept No Solution of the Question
Which Does Not Provide for Union With
Greece-Fighting on the Island
Continues.

LONDON, Feb. 28.-It is stated here
tonight that there is good authority
for believing that the result of the con-
ferenceS between the representatives
or the great powers at COnstantinople
and Athens will be the presentation of
collective notes to Turkey and Greece
tomorrow.
Greece will be allowed four days to
recall her land and sea forces from
Crete. 1t is reported from Canea that
several insurgent leaders have sent to
Vice Admiral Canevaro, of the Italian
fleet, a signed declaration that the
Cretans will accept no solution Of the
pending question but political union
with Greece. Fighting continues be-
tween the insurgents and Mussulmans
near Retimo and elsewhere. The Chris
tlans besieged the Turkish garrison in
the blockhOuse at Malata for several
days. Today body of Turkish regu-
lars and irregulars left Canea with a
convoy to revictual the blockhouse
The insurgents attacked the column
and killed several of the escort, where
upon the Turkish battleship Fuad
opened fire upon the insurgents with
shells and continued the firing until
stopped by order of the foreign ad-
mirals. The convoy was finally COM
PEELED to retire.
The latest advices from Canea report
that fighting between the besieged
garrison and the Cretans continues.
The villages of Trikalaria and Nero
kouro, in the same district, have been

of pacifying the island, will only pave

WASHINGTON, Feb 28.-Speaker
Reed and the other Republican leaders
OF the house entered upon the final
session of theFifty-fourth congress with
the avowed determination that no legis-
lat1On which compelled great eXpendi-
lures Of public money should be enact
ed during the session. They felt COM
PEELED to adopt this policy because of
the condition of the treasury, and they
have generally adhered to it, although
the regular appropriation bills for the
support of the government have
brought the total appropriations OF
this congress far beyond the billion dol
lar mark, breaking the record of for
nler congresses. Many of the appro-
prlations were necessary to continue
works authorized by other congresses.
No public buildings have been started
by this congress and no new battle
ships or vessels Of any description, al
though the creation of a new navy,
begun several years ago, has by no
means been abandoned.
The intention of the leaders was to
cOnfine the work so far as possible to
the appropriation bills, and they have
been successful in living up to their
policy.
THE LAST WEEK
Of the session begins with several of
the appropriation bills not yet passed
by the senate. Much of the time of that
body has been consumed in the discus
sion Of the Cuban question, which the
house has dealt with only incidental
ly. Necessarily the policy of the house
to avoid new Legislation which involv-
ed expenditures has been enforced
upon the senate. The Nicarag qua canal
bill, which was discussed at great
length in the senate, but not voted on,
was not taken up in the house, nor has
the free home bill which the senate
passed had a hearing at the other end
of the capitol.
The Pacific railroad funding bill met
a decisive defeat in the house, so the

a friend as to the Competitors crew,
he replied earnestly that if the United
States government did not take prompt
and energetic action to secure their
release, he feared the worst would be-
fall them.

THE BAR MEETING TODAY.
An Interesting Resolution Introduced by
 General White.

An Interesting Resolution Introduced by
 General White. The bar met at 10 o'clock this morning, pursuant to adjournment. Chairman Jones being absent the meeting was called to order by w. F. Coleman. Secretary. WIT. Wool dridge was selected as chairman. The resolution recommending that all act be passed providing for the election of a special judge where affi- dayit is made by q litigant that the trial irdge is so prejudiced against him that he cannot obtain fair and impartial trial, came up for discus sion. Under the present Constitution of the State, it seems somewhat doubtful if such an act would be constitutional.
 This is the feature of the act dis cussed this morning by the members of the bar,. and in the absence of the proposed act, now before the Legisla- ture and introduced by Senator Grace of this district, it was finally decided against the resolution. The almost unanimous sentiment of the bar, however, seemed in favor of such a law.
 Gen. H. K. White introduced res- olutions favoring Q separate chan eery district as now constituted, but in the absence of a motion to recon slider the action of the bar on last Saturday relative to this matter, the chair ruled the resolutions out of order
 The meeting then adjourned.
