The pension appropriation bill will
be called up Monday, and as soon as it
is disposed of the senate will be asked
to take up the Legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill. Each
of these Will provoke some debate, but
it is not expected to be prolonged in
either case.

pected that the Indian appropria-
ton bill, the consideration of
which was begun Saturday, will be
completed Monday The only item in
the bill which is likely TO cause much
of contest is that providing for the
leasing of the Gilsonite beds of the I'm
provision was beaten in the last Indian
bill and will be stubbornly contested
now. The district bill will probably
consume the remainder of the week
So far as could be learned the admin
istration had no adviceS from Havana
Sunday. Both the state and navy de-
partments affirmed that nothing had
been heard from Gen. Lee and profess
ed to look upon the lack of news as
good sign. On the other hand the city
was full of rumOrs ranging in import
ance from the statement that the white
squadron had sailed from Key West to
that of Lees being assassinated at Ha-
vana Inquiry however failed to re-
veal any basis for sensational reports.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The senate

BEYOND BELIEF.
Henri Was Stuck on His New Brown
Shit.


The lady in the railway car would have
claimed undisputed recognition as the most
overdressed person in any of the counties
through which the train passed had 1t not
been for her son. He was one or the
weary-faced, scrupulously clad little peo-
pie who afford support to the theory that
poverty may be a comparative blessing to
the very young. He did not look as II a
genuine good time would fit him. The am
bition to drill him into unfagging self-cOn-
sciousness had met with obvious and pa
thetic success. . He sat with his neck
stretched out to keep from wrinkling his
lace collar. The novel which his mother
read was one of the most recent and pom
derous. The title, in large gilt letters, was
turned toward the aisle as she held 1T be-
fore her, turning the pages with suspicious
infrequency. A mist had gathered on the
pane, so that the boy could not look out of
the window. Instinct was more powerful
than culture, and before he thought he had
taken his gloved finger and rubbed round
spot through which he could look with one
eye: His mother fairly gasped with indig-
Fnation.
Henri she exclaimed.
Eyes, ma am"
''You bad child! How can you do such
things?"
He made no reply, but penitently turned
his back upon the mental luxury with
which he had hoped to provide himself.
But his mother evidently prided herself
upon her achievements as a domestic dis
ciplinarian. In loud voice she continued ::

Reached by the Joint Operators and Min
ers' COnference-Several Propositions Adj
vanced, But They Were Voted Down.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22-After waiting upon
the scale committee since Tuesday,
the delegates to the interstate joint
conference of bituminOus coal opera
tors and miners of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois and the miners of
West Virginia received very unsatis-
factory report 1t was presented at
Friday afternoons session and embOd-
led these propositions:
The adoption of the mine run or
gross weight system, and the uniform
ity of hours of labor. No mention of
an advance in wages was made.
The operators of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana had fought the adoption
of mine run system from the start,
and the votes taken in committee, as
reported to the convention, showed
that they had stood as unit in Oppo-
sition to the plan. The report was ac-
copied by the convention and its con-
sideration seriatum was recommended.
But it quickly became apparent that
no progress could be made under the
rules governing the convention
which require an affirmative vote
to carry any proposition. FL
nally the convention was resolved
into a committee of the whole, and the
first proposition embodied in the re-
port, the mine run system (Which is
now being used in Illinois, was dis
cussed under the fve-minute rule. OPP
orators and miners of Illinois and
miners from all the other states IA
vored the plan, but the operators of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana re-
fused to consider the change. Finally
a vote was taken on the motion to
adopt the mine run and resulted:
Ayes "a, nays -. This vote, the
chair ruled, was a defeat for
the motion. President RatclIford,
in speaking to the motion made the re-
mark that The miners would demand
an increase of ten cents. He said he
had suggested to the scale committee
/ and would support in the convention,
if it became necessary, a measure for
the adoption of the double standard,
whereby either the mine run or screen
system could be used at the option of
the operator. President Farms, of the
Ohio Mine workers, also recommends
this plan.
At the evening session, Operator
Robbins, of Pennsylvania, presented a
resolution embodying the adoption of
a uniform screen in the competitive
field of II inch mesh, fiat bar This
plan was discussed at length. Several
amendments thereto were defeated
and the motion went over. 1t is quite
evident that it can not be put through,
as Single objection will serve to de-
feat it.
How the parliamentary tangle into
which the convention has been drawn
will end, is matter of much specula-
ton. If the proceedings Friday after
noon and evening are any criterion the
convention will be unable to agree up
on any subject discussed. Patrick Do
Ian, leader of the miners in the Pitts
burgh district, made repeated motions
that the rules be suspended bp+ vas
declared out of order. At the of
the evening session he called up, he

dent Ratchford objected to the plan
and withdrew.

Ship Yards Close Down.

BAY CITY, Mich, Jan. 21.-Wheeler
g. Co.'S ship yards shut down Thurs
day morning throwing 700 men out of
work, as a result of the riveters refus-
ing to accept a seven per cent increase
in wages. The riveters had been on a
strike several days, their object being
to obtain the same scale of wages paid
in 1895. When the riveters declined
the company's offer of increase, the
company resolved to close the yard
and endeavor to employ an entirely
new force of workmen. The riveters
would have accepted the proffered in
crease had thev not been required TO
sign an agreement not to act as a tody.
