PROGRAMMES IN THE HOUSE.
Some Red OratOry on Tariff Looked
for During the Week.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-Three more
days will see the end OF the struggle over
the Dingley tariff bill in the House. The
bill will be open for amendment until
o'clock Wednesday. when the debate
will close with a two-hour display of ora
tory. The voting will begin at 8 o clock on
that day. So far known there will be
no break in the Republican ranks, but at
least four of the Democrats will brave the
party whip and cast their votes for the
bill, three from Louisiana and one from
Texas. There is also probability that one
Populist and one silverite will vote for this
protective measure. Mr.. Dingley, who has
engineered the bill through the eddies of
debate with great skill, will devote his
energies TO pressing the consideration of
the bill forward with the utmost expedition
in order TO complete it before the vote is
taken. But the Democrats are pursuing a
course which has thus far rendered
progress extremely difficult.

Arbitration in the senate.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The Senate
will devote its energies this week to the
arbitration treaty with the vague hope on
the part of some of the friends of that in
strument of securing final vote on Friday
or Saturday. The Senate early tomorrow
will go into executive session TO consider
the treaty if no unforeseen circumstance
prevents, and thus afford ample time 10
complete all speeches by Wednesday. when
the voting is TO begin on the miscellaneous
amendments. The consideration of amend
ments is TO continue Thursday provided
new ones are offered after Wednesday, 5
proceedings. Later than that day the Sen
ate procedure is not clear. Consent tc
naming a date for the vote the treaty
itself is still withheld and will not be given
until after the fate of the amendments be-
comes known. Ii is surmised that If the
Chiffon amendment should be accepted the
debate on the treaty would soon come TO a
conclusion, but that If il should be beaten
the subsequent discussion would be OF in
definite duration.
The appropriation bills are expected TO be
reported TO the Senate after the meeting of
day, but they will not be taken up in the
Senate until the treaty is disposed of. The
bankruptcy bill will also yield precedence
TO the treaty. The question of organizing
the committees continues to press for at
tention and may reach climax during the
week. The tariff bill will reach the Senate
late in the week and be referred TO COM
mittee, which, however already has the
various schedules under consideration.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-The Tribune to-
morrow will publish a story to the effect
that the Elevator Trust at Buffalo is
soon TO collapse as the result of in
vasion of the field by Chicago elevator

concludes:
The elevators which the Chicago people
are constructing are but part of the far
reaching plans TO preserve TO Chicago and
other lake ports their old-time supremacy
in handling the grain of the West. The
next move Will be TO enter the port of New
York. 1t will be made by the time the great
steel elevator at Buffalo Is ready for busi-
ness. Instead of grain being sold in Chi

be sold for delivery at the port OF New

have made the same arrangements for the
handling OF their grain by the way of Erie
and have leased the Pennsylvania elevator

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Madge Dean.
one of the most winsome Of the pretty
graduates of the Hoytian school of farce

the most sensational suits which have been
filed in the Supreme Court in some time.

reports that smallpox continues in active

from yellow fever have occurred in the
military hospitals among Spanish soldiers
and one civilian died of it in the city, near

common. During the week ending March
is there were ten deaths from yellow fever
and $50 new cases of smallpox with ninety
one deaths.
In a report to the State Department on
the plague in India, c. +. Meyer, vice
consul Of the United States at Bombay
estimates that the exodus from that city
to escape the ravages of disease amounts
to one-half of the population. The number
of people in the city is estimated at this
time to be 4lOSS2, as against ,764 accord
ing to the census OF 1891. Under date of
Feb. 19 last. the vice consul says:
THE total number of deaths has de-
creased from /. .911 last week TO 1,12S for the
week under report, but as the exodus still
continues, this difference is believed TO be
accounted for by a corresponding decrease
of the population still remaining In Bonn
bay. which is confirmed by the low birth
tending TO the east and north During the
week, under the provisions of the dan
gerous epidemic diseases act OF 1897 most
stringent measures have been put in force
by the government of India to prevent
persons from carrying the infection into
districts still reported clear. All persons
proceeding from infected districts by land
or sea are carefully inspected by govern
ment medical officers. If showing any un-
favorable symptoms, they are at once re-
moved from the trains and segregated. In

NEW YORK. March 2S.-The American
Bible Society library is to be deposited with

safety and partly to enrich the already
large Lenox collection of English editions
of the Bible. Part of this rare and val
liable library has been removed and the
rest soon will be. IL includes more than
300 volumes. This represents the gradual
accumulation OF eighty years. the rate OF
accession for the past twenty-five years
having been somewhat more than 10 vol
umes a year. The library includes the
archives OF the American Bible revision
committee. together with the miscellaneous
books acquired for their use. the whole
having been presented TO the society by the
company or revisers and by DIR. Philip
Schaeff in 1855. The character OF the Ii
brary Is biblical thoroughly SO. Books OF
"a miscellaneous character have not been
solicited. and commentaries OF late years
have not been regarded as desirable The
larger part OF the collection Is made OF
volumes OF the Holy Scriptures in various
editions gathered from many lands and
under conditions which cannot be repeated.
