PASSED WITHOUT DELAY.
Unanimous Vote in the Senate ON the
S5O,OOO,OOO Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-In anticipation
of a discussion of the $50, ,0OO, 900 emergency
appropriation bill, people rapidly filled the
galleries of the Senate to-day. Two hours
before the Senate convened spectators be-
gan to appear in the galleries to secure de-
sirable seats, and long before u o'clock the
public and reserved galleries were filed In
the corridors outside were long lines Of
surging people, anxious to secure admission
to witness session of the Senate, that in
it's consequence, If not in it's actual pro-
ceedings, gave promise of being momentous.
In fact, it was thought that the Senates
action to-day might mark the beginning OF
new epoch in the country's history, and
the public interest was fully proportionate
to the action the Senate was to take. Among
the spectators in the gallery were scores of
ladies, whose interest in current matters is
quite as keen as that Of their fathers, hus-
bands and brothers.
On the floor of the Senate the attend
ance was unusually large when the Vice
Presidents gavel fell calling the body to or
der. The members of the appropriations
committee, including the chairman, Mr. AL
lison. of Iowa, and of the foreign relations
committee, including the chairman, Mr. Da-
Wis, of Minnesota, were in their seats In
addition several members of the House were
in the chamber. Among the bills introduced
was one by Mr.. Sewell, of New Jersey, es-
tablshing government protection of homing
pigeons.
AT the conclusion Of the morning business,
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, of the appropriations
committee, quickly rose and said: 81 report

American Policy Regarding Cuba
Meets with Approval.

American PoI1cy AegarO1mS CuDa
Meets with Approval.
LONDON, March 1O-The Washington
correspondent Of the Daily Chronicle de-
MES that Sir Julian Pauncefote, when call
ing on President Mckinley on Tuesday, Of
fered Great Britains mediation in the Gu
ban affair or asked the support Of the
United States for British policy in the far
East
"Sir Julian" says the correspondent,
conveyed to President Mckinley informal
ly the Queens personal satisfaction at his
conservative course and an expression of
her sympathy with the efforts to relieve
starvation in Cuba and of her hope that
the amelioration of the condition Of Cuba
would be achieved without war;
The Daily Chronicle in an editorial this
morning on the Cuban situation, describes
President McKnley's action throughout the
crisis as "a model of craftsmanship" 1t
declares that the action of the Washington
government in connection with the Maine
disaster deserves the highest recognition
"There is every Indication says the Daily
Chronicle, that the United States are pre-
pairing for the inevitable struggle. Soon it
will be necessary for Great Britain to show
on which side it's sympathies lie.''
Arguing at considerable length on the
"unselfshness of AMERICAS motives in de-
string to put an end to the hell upon earth
in Cuba" and insisting that America has
a better right to interfere than has been
put forward as a justification in two out
of every three wars in history" the Daily
Chronicle says: I'VE nope Great Britain
will not only go as far officially as the
furthest limits OF international law permit.
but that public opinion will declare itself
openly, Enthusiastically and in the teeth of
all Europe, if necessary, as sympathizing
heartily with the motives impeling Amer
lea at last to take step SO natural and
yet one she has so long hesitated to take.
AT the same time we wish it were pos
slble to persuade Spain, even at the elev-
enth hour, that her honor and Cuba might
be saved by the recognitioH of inevitable
facts. TO bid Cuba be free would be hard
task, but it would be the safest and most
dignifed course"
The Daily News says editorially this
morning: while crediting the United
States with the generous error OF giving
the world a noble example of sacrifice for
peace by unpreparedness for war, we are
glad to see that they have shown them
selves wise in time"

He was born in ls45 in Lithuania, Po-

patrician. As a youth he was educated
at the University Of Warsaw, and he
was a student there during the dark and
troublous days Of 1868, when the czar
was busy crushing the Polish nation.
When he was graduated at 20, he found
himself without country, many of his
friends and relatives banished and him
self left without the prospect of such
career as his education and tastes made
him wish for. So he became wanderer.
