TARIFF AND APPROPRIATION BILLS
The Limit of Legislation to Be Aowed-Davis
VIII Urge the Approval of the
Arbitration Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 14-The Fiji
ty-fifth congress meets in eXtraordi-
nary session tomorrow at noon in pur-
suance of President McKinIey's proc
lamation. The work before 1.-THE pas
sage of a tariff BILLS pretty well cut
out in advance, but the indications are
that it will be stormy session, and its
length and scope are as yet matters
of speculation. The present secretary
of state, Mr.. Sherman, remarked sever
al years ago on a memorable occasion
in the senate that the president, like
Aladdin, could rub the lamp and cause
the genii TO appear, but that once they
had appeared they were masters of
their deStinies. So that congress once
in session may go much further or
not SO far as the president may wish.
SO far as the house. which will be or
gained tomorrow, is concerned. the
present determination Of the leaders is
to direct the energies Of the lower
branch to the accomplishment Of the
task before it with all expedition, and
throw the responsibility for any COM
plications whihc may arise cut Of de-
lays in the senate upon that body This
was made manifest by Speaker Reeds
speech at the Republican caucus last
night, when he spoke Of the necessity
of bringing the work Of the session to
speedy close Whether the leaders
will emphasize any inaction by the
senate when the bill reaches that body
by programme Of a thrce-day recess
remains to he seen, but it seems likely
that the speaker WILL at least for the
present, refrain from appointing any
save the actual committees necessary
for the transaction Of the business in
hand. This will prove an effective bar
to the passage of miscellaneous or
general bills, as the rules Of the house
are such that all legislation must come
through the agencies Of committees.
But even this is not absolutely neces
sary, as the committee on rules can be
invoked to furnish special orders. And
1t is by means Of special orders that

yesterday at Gambia, Refine and at

The bishop Of Nicephere remains here,
though alone. in the hope of being
able to save the Metropolitan church
from pillage. The landing Of European
insurgents maintain a ceaseless cannon

cellent spirits and health, while the
health Of the troops Of Col. Vassos
shows no signs Of falling off.
The foreign admirals have not yet
been informed as to the decision of the
Powers on their proposals Of a week
ago. Yesterday they telegraphed their
respective governments asking that de-

to those already landed at Canea, Reti-

The adnirals have been instructed to
confer with the cOnsulates as to the
best means of prOclaiming the fact
that Turkey has granted to Crete COM

Treaty VIII Occupy the Senate for "a
Time.
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, March 14-Vice
President Hobart will rap the senate to
order at noon tomorrow for the begin
ming Of the work Of the Fifty-tifth con
gTeSS.
The week does not now promise to be
busy one in the senate, except in the
event that the arbitration treaty be-
tween this country and Great Britain
IS considered. Senator Davis, chairman
OF the committee on foreign relations
said today that he would force the
question of ratification to as speedy
determination as it would be possible
The treaty will be considered in eXecu-
tive session. There will be considerable
opposition to it even in its amended
form, but the friends Of the treaty as
sert that there Will net be to exceed
twenty opposing votes when the final
result Is announced.
Some nominations are expected on
Monday. and there may be a brief
executive session to permit their ref
erence to committee. A number Of
bills, majority OF which will be those
Which failed in the last congress, will
be introduced during the week, but as
none Of them can be taken up until
they receive committee action, there
will be but little or nc legislative work.
The presidents message is expected
Monday.
Considerable time during the week
will be spent by the committees of the
various parties in the senate in an
effort to reach a harmonious adjust
mcnt of the senate committees. There
is now talk Of an agreement 70 fill
all the vacancies except those existing
in the committees on finance and
appropriations. Both these committees
are fortunately quite equitabIy ad-
justed, and it is feared that an effort
to supply the vacancies might result
in bad feeling and an ENHANCEMENT
which the Republicans desire TO avoid
on the eve Of the tariff fight.
There is only occasional reference to
changes in the elective offices in the
senate, and there is no prospect Of a
controversy over this point at the pres
ent time.
1t is expected that the credentials Of
Messrs. COrbett and Henderson, APP
pointed to fill the senatorial vacancies
from Oregon and Florida, respectively,
will be presented Monday. They will
be referred to the committee on priVi-
leges and elections

HAVANA, March 14.-Gen. Jimerez
Castellanos, owing TO the persistent
rumOrs that the insurgent government
had its headquarters at San ;fv"'0nimo,
Puerto Principe, decided to take the
field on the 4th. Proceeding by the
Yeguas road at the head OF I strong
column of regulars he began to en-
counter groups Of Insurgents at a dis
tance of about a mile and a half from
the city Of Puerto Principe. ON aIriv-

lance Of about five kilometeTs frcm the
city, he engaged the "dvance guard
of the insurgents. and hot t.5ht en-
sued. The insurgents were Gispcl sed,
but the troops, owing to the lack Of
water were compelled to fall back to
the farm Of La Union de Lanes. At
daybreak Of the 9Th the march WAS re-
newed in the direction Of The Aranjuez
ranch. From the comm enCenent Of

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE final
work upon the tariff bill occupied the
time of the Republican members of tina
ways and means committee today. and
tonight they assembled for their last
conference. Chairman Dingley said
that the bill would be finished at this
meeting, but that 1t might be neces-
sary for the committee to work all
night to accomplish its task. AS soon
as the committees draft of the blu has
been completed it will be sent to tho

the appropriation bills which failed to
receive Mr.. Cleveland's approval are
to be put through at the extraordinary
session.
Consideration in committee would in
VClve great delay and result besides
in almost interminable debate in the
house, as it is the peculiar character
lstc of new house to use every OPP
portunity to talk. Mr. Cannon the
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, says the bills as they went to
MI. Cleveland are all right, and he
faVOrS their re-paSSage under special
rules without the formality of again
putting them through the regular chan
rels. This will be the plan followed.
and all the time before the actual de-
bate on the tariff begins will be de-
voted tc the appropriation bills.
The new tariff bill. upon which Re
publican members of the ways and
means committee have been working
laboriOusly for three months, is com
plete and will be formally introduced
tomorrow. It will then be printed and
submitted to the Democratic minority
and receive formal consideration by the
full committee. 1t is not expected that
this will require more than three or
four days at most, although the Demo-
Gratis may, and probably will protest
vigorously against such expedition
At any rate the house leaders hope to
enter upon the consideration of the bill
in the house before the end of the
week. Some of them tonight fixed
Thursday as the day on which the de-
bate would probably commence. AL
though the limits Of the debate have
not yet been decided upon the prevail
ing opinion is that it will not last over
ten days. Night sessions will, Of
course, be held throughout the period
allowed for debate. This will give the
new members an opportunity to make
set speeches for the benefit of their
constituents.
Unless some unexpected hitch occurs
the new tariff bill may be sent to the
senate q week from next Saturday, or

Within two hours the insurgents

Great Britain, and might be on that account
the prelude to much more prolonged occu-
