No River and HarbOr Bill.

Washington, March ct is set
tied positively that there will be no
river and haroor bill during this
session Of Congress. This has been
regarded as probable for come weeks
past. The House committee on rivers
and Harbors to day voted upon the
question and by large majority
decided against making and report
ing bill bsfors the short session,
which will meet in December. The
members of the committee were
convinced that the $4,000, 900 ap-
propriated for national defenses to-
day will be distributed almost wholly
so that it would not now be possible
to make a satisfactory river and
harbor bill available after July ].
The $50,090,000 for defense must
be used before January l, and the
committee hope that the Treasury
will be in such condition after that
time as to enable the continuance of
necessary work upon the great water
ways. This announcement will cause
dissatisfaction IN nearly every por-
ton OF the country, and would not
pass without forcibls expression if
the present needs Of the War and
Navy Departments were not admit.

She Will Hold Her Torpedo FIotiIIa a
Madrid.
Madrid, March 9-The news that
Congress has unanimously appropri
ated the enormous sum of $50,000,.
900 for the use Of President McKin.
ley for preparations for war has
created profound and disquieting
impression being regarded as almost
a direct provocation for war. I'M
medistely upon the receipt of the
information that the President had
made the application for the appro.
priatioD, orders were issued to
retain the flotilla of torpedo boats at
home, as they could in no event be
of great service in Cuban waters,
and might be captured in transit, as
they would be unarmed.
All preparations are being pro-
vided for the defense of Spain, as
the Spanish Government fears that
attack would not be made upon Cuba
alone, but proceed across the sea.
On this account, the torpedo fleet
will be of great use in Spanish
waters.
The same espionage obtains here
upon kilograms and letters that il
kept up in Havana, and not tele
gram can go out of Madrid without
supervision.

For two years longer the grass
fiourished and was kept well trained
on the grave of Mabel Lea. Flowers
were planted and a pretty border
put around the mound by the wo-
man who represented the lover of
the dead girl. Then The flowers
began to droop and die. The grass
grew and went to seed with no one

CHAPTER /
4 white hearse, followed by two
carriages, turned into the Broadway
gate of Calvary Cemetery, one day
in March, 1894. Down the main
drive the little procession wended,
then turned into less travelled road
aud finally stopped at spot in the
more wooded portion of the burial
place, where the grass was some
what rank and there were few graves
aud no fine monuments. A plain
casket was drawn from the hearse
and borne to newly opened grave.
Three persons followed the pallbeRr
ers, with bowed heads-two men
and one woman.
One of the men was scarcely IS
years old, of fine figure and hand
some features, in spite of the grief
that drew his face into hard lines
and brought tears coursing down
his cheeks. He was attired in the
Sabbath garb Of workingman. The
Catholic burial service was said, the
casket lowered into the grave and
the clods thrown down upon the
padded top of the box containing
the coffin, the young man starting
at each spadeful, as if it fell with
heavy weight upon his own bowed
head.
The hearse and carriages had driv
en- away. The young man fingered
at the grave. He threw himself
upon it and sobbed aud called to
the one beneath the sod. Then he
folio sed the course taken by the
carria2 es and left the cemetery. The
grave he had left was in section 10
A few days later a modest head
stone was placed at the grave. 1t

time to time the young man returned
to the cemetery and covered the
grave with flowers. He contracted

cemetery to keep the grave in oder.

pay, the youlg fellow replied that
he would be responsible and gave
the name OF Edwin Bower.
