Lower Congress.
WARM CONTEST PENDING
VIRGINIA ELECTION CASES THIS
WEEK.
In the Senate If Members Are Pre-
pared With Speeches, Hawaiian
Question May Come Up - Census
Bill-Five Per Cent Land Bill
Appropriations.

washington. March 13-The pro-
gramme of the house this week as
mapped out would be completely
changed if any move is made in con-
nection with the Spanish crisis involv-
ing legislative action. But as at pres
ent arranged, it includes simply the
consideration of the postofTice appro-
priation bill and the Virginia con-
tested election case of Thorpe-Epps,
with the possibility that the naval
appropriation bill, which will be re-
ported Monday or Tuesday, might be
resumed at the tail end of the week.
There will be a conflict for pre-
cedence between the election case and
the postoffice bill, Chairman Walker of
the election committee and Chairman
Loud of the postoffice committee, each
firmly contesting for the right of way.
ELECTION CASES.
If Chairman Walker insists, the con-
tested election case being a question of
the highest privilege, would have pre-
cedence under the rules, but the house,
by vote, could give the postoffice bill
precedence.
The Democrats intend to contest the
election case bitterly. as upon the de-
pend the fate of the other two cases
from Virginia, another of which was
reported yesterday against the sitting
member. 1t is expected that the report
of the committee will also be against
Mr.. Swanson, from the Danville dis
trict.
SENATE FORECAST.
There is no prepared programme for
the senate for the present week. If
Senator Bacon is prepared to speak
on the Hawaiian annexation treaty, it
will be taken up promptly as. indeed,
it will be if any senator is prepared to
go on with the debate. 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that there will be
much discussion of this subject in
executive session, and it is the inten-
ton of Senator Davis, chairman of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
at a very early day TO move to lay
Senator Davis plebiscite motion on
the table. 1t is on this move that the
managers of the treaty hope to secure
a test vote, and Senator Davis said to-
day that he was hopeful that this
vote might be reached during the pres
ent week.
PETTIGREW'S LAND BILL.
Senator Pettigrew is anxious and
hopes to get his per cent land bill
before the senate early in the week.
and Senator Vest will make an effort
for the consideration of the quaran-
tine bill. There is also a possibility
that the census bill may be pressed for
consideration.
An entirely new census bill probably
will be offered providing for the i'm
mediate establishment of the census
machinery instead of making pre-
liminary amendments for it, as the bill
first prepared did. The committee on
appropriations are hopeful of being
able to report the sundry civil bill dur
ing the week and if it should be sue
cessful, this measure will be pressed
upon the attention of the senate to the
exclusion of everything else.

HARBoR DEFENSES.
Preparations For Strengthening
Them of Much Significance.

Them of Much Significance.
Newport, R. /, March 1S.-There has
been the greatest activity today at the
torpedo station in preparing charges
for torpedo outfits and also in perfect
ing the defenses at the entrance of
NarragansetL bay.
In the machine shops at the station,
the lathes cutting the shell for fuses
and primers were run to their full ca
pacity. while extra hands were in the
fuse room, loading and packing.
The guncotton and smokeless powder
plants are also being pushed to their
full capacity.
1t is claimed that all this stir has no
war significance, and is only for the
purpose of catching up with orders, but
it is known that, While the orders for
fuses and primers were sufficiently nu-
merous TO keep the plant in operation
in ordinary times for some months, this
work had been so portioned out as to
be completed by the time the ships
now building were ready for sup
plies.
Since the war scare, there has been
a large demand for fuses from the
ships fitting out, and, as there is prac-
tically no reserve supply, extra work
has been made compulsory and that,
too, without providing for regular or
derS. In the magazine at Rose island
there are several thousand pounds of
Dupont cotton, purchased at the time
of the burning of the factory here. This
is used for the loading of torpedo war
heads. Tomorrow another consignment
of Whitehead torpedoes will come from
the Bliss cOmpany's works at Brook
Ign.
The torpedo boats Gwynn and Talbot
had steam up today, ready to be turned
over to the officers and crew, who are
expected tomorrow. Early tonight the
torpedo boat Stiletto returned unex-
pectedly from New York, where she
had been all winter, for tests of her OIL
she will be used for carrying smokeless
powder to Newport, as it is produced
here.
The force of gunners is being greatly
reduced here on account of an urgent
call for these trained men. The ma
rine ward at the training station which
now numbers IS men. is now held in
reserve for draft. and many of the SER
vice men at the station have already
been detached. For the defense of the
bay, the mortar battery at Fort Adams
and the Pinch battery at Dutch Island
on the other side of the bay, are the
principal points where work is being
rushed.
A vessel load of powder arrived at
Fort Adams today, and another lot is
expected by rail soon. This morning
there arrived several tons of cables for
submarine mines, for both the middle
and west passages of the bay. Mines,
anchors and firing apparatus are al
ready at hand.

the action pursued by Consul General
Lee, who. he said. was a man fitted
for his place in every respect, from
what he had seen of his administration
of affairs there.
THE matter of his recall reached
there just a little before the contradic-
ton, and was not credited. 1t was
denied that his return to this country
was wanted" he said.
In regard to the question whether
the impression prevailed in Havana
that the Maine was destroyed by ex-
ternal influence, Colonel Parker spoke
guardedly He said, however, the
same impression prevailed there as it
did here. There was little or no war
talk, and the De LONE incident was
not mentioned there during his visit.
He left Washington Feb. IL

Lattimer Verdict Provokes Both
Threat and Admonition.

New York, March 13.-At the central la
Dor union meeting today a strong protest,
in the form of resolutions. was entered
against the acquittal of Sheriff Martin and

THAT the Central Labor union, in the
name of organized labor and most citi-
Zens of the commonwealth, protests
against the outrage Derpetrated in the
name of law. abridging the liberty of
every citizen. and warn citizens that If

they themselves, at some future time,
may suffer; and, be it further
Resolved, That we counsel the surviv-
ors of that terrible massacre to respect
the laws that no longer protect them, in
the hope that in the near future long
suffering people will take such action as
will render even hired murderers amenable
to the law which will secure protection to
all who seek ii in this free country"

WORTH MORE THAN ALL ELSE.
What Gratifed Proctor More Than
ANYTHING Else He Saw.

Charlotte. n. c., March Ex-senator
Proctor passed through Charlotte today
He talked freely except on the subjects
of Spain and the probability of war.
He said that the most gratifying thing
he met with on his trip was the splendid
conduct and spirit of the southern people.
He felt that it was worth the total cost
of all preparations for war to demonstrate
what sterling loyal spirit was cherished
throughout the south as he had seen it.
He said he had gathered some facts, but
did not know just what bearing they
might have on the present situation. He
would have to find the situation at home
before he could even judge fairly of the
knowledge he had gained on the trip.

IN CHRIsTs NAME.


Everyone is grati6ed to learn that a
famous Catholic priest, who will rot
allow his name to be published, will
give all the aid in his power to Consul
General Lee and Mr.. Klopsch, not only
in Havana, where the suffering is much
alleviated but outside, where relief is
most urgently needed.
The United States consuls at Ma
tanzas and Sagua and the consular
agents in other cities can be relied
upon, it is believed, with the help of
the local Spanish committees, to push
forward the good work with all due
speed. The need of relief supplies is
practically undiminished, and there is
no fear that the contributions already
here, or to come, will not be properly
used.
A correspondent at Matanzas says
the governor has appointed a list dis
tribution committee. They secured his
signature to orders for food, which is
then delivered by United States Con-
sui Brice from the warehouse, upon
presentation of the order. The local
firemen see that food is delivered to
the needy. They have been active in
relief work hitherto, and have made a
careful canvass from house to house.
Mr.. Brice has appointed three Ameri
can women with power to give aid in
dependently of the governors sigma
ture, to those who are called silent
sufferers the class who have sold or
pawned everything, but are too proud
TO let their wants be known.
The Fern and the Bergen have gone
with supplies.
TOO MUCH MILK.
Mr.. Brice is satisfied with the ar
rangements, and is much encouraged.
He says great good will be accom-
plished in the course of a week. Con-
densed milk, of which too much has
been sent to Havana, is badly needed
at Matanzas and Sagua- One woman
in the Matanzas hospital, on hearing
the word milk" went frantic, Shrek
ing Milk for hours.
Mr.. Brice has supervision of the en-
tire relief work, with ample help to
give help personally, in cases he knows
to be deserving. Senior De Armas,
the governor, is said to be a humane
and good man.
The Anita, with the congressional
party, left today for Sagua.
No work was done at the custom
house today, but it will be resumed
early in the morning. No delay is an
