CONGR SSIONAL ACTION.
Inquiry Concerning the Shipment Of
GOvernmen Supplies by Canadians.

GOvernment Supplies by Canadians.
WASHINGTON, February 26 Con-
gress transacted no business today of
any special interest. The house spent
the whole day considering the sundry
civil appropriation bill. In the senate
Senator Hansbrough, of North Dako-
ia, offered q resolution which was
adopted, asking the secretary of the
navy why a large mass of machinery
for this government was recently
shipped from Chicago to Mare Island,
San Francisco, by the Canadian Pacific
railroad company, instead of by some
American railroad company. A reso-
luton offered by Senator Gallinger
was agreed to, requesting the president
to furnish the senate with copies OF all
reports and communications received
by the state department siuce 1895,
from any agent of the Cuban insurgents
relating to the state of war in the
Isl land of Cuba. The Oregonsenatorial
case was then taken up and Mr.. Kyle,
populist, sddressed.the senate in favor
of the seating of Mr.. Corbett.
Secretary Sherman came into the
house this afternoon and his appear
ance naturally created much interest,
for his visits are few and far between.
He laughingly said he had brought no
declaration of war with Spain. "We
are all for peace" he eaid, with Off
cial caution, ''up at our end of the

The Washington Evening Star ha
received the folio wing from from it's
staff correspondent in Cuba:
Havana, Feb. 23.-Vis Key Vest
Inquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
eresses along definite lines. The re-
suits so far may be summed up in
the statement that the probabilities
that it was an accident, seem to de-
crease with the progress of the investi
cation.
The most intense anxiety is shown
by the Spanish officials here, who are
in constant communication with Mad
rid. They realize that the relations
with the United States were never so
much in danger of rupture as now.
This is the general feeling.
The commercial classes here are
hopeful of American Intervention on
peaceful lines, but what they base their
hopes on is unknown. The insurgents
continue to win minor military success
es. The autonomists are restless, and
some of the leaders seem on the point
of breaking. away from the govern
ment Army officers continue to show
anti-American sentiment They are
apparently the only class that does not
look for an early crisis.

ovation from the enormous throngs OF

from Egypt. The scene of enthusiasm
was almost unprecedented. The crowds at
the Victoria station of the London,
Chatham & Dover railway were so dense
that the police were unable to cope with
them. The barriers and the police Gordon
were carried away together, and the null
titude surged into the reserved portion
of the station. AS the Sirdar issued from

step into his carriage, he found himself
confronted with an impenetrable mass,
cheering. gestic ulating and shouting,
i'Bravo, Herbert; God bless you, my
boy,' "Cheers for the avenger of Cor
don," and kindred cries.
His face beamed with pleasure at the
popular greeting.
When he attempted to make his way
through the crowd, his hat was 'smashed
in' and the police had to save him forci.
bly, from the attentions of enthusiastic
guardsmen who desired to carry him on
their shoulders through the throng.
All attempts to clear passage were
futile. The Sirdar was forced to retire
and was finally smuggled out of the sta
ton through distant corner OF the build.

That Condemnation of Cant, Dreyfus
Cannot be Upheld-M. Dupuy Says
No Honest Politician VIII Decline to
Accept the Verdict When it is Given.
Paris, October 2z-The belief is general
tonight that the court of cessation will
pronounce neither for revision nor for
annulment Of the decision on the Dreyfus
case, as either course would entail awk-
ard consequences. To avoid these it is
expected the court will decide that, as
the affair now presents itself, there has
been no treason and that, therefore, the
condemnation pronounced upon Capt.
Dreyfus by the court martial cannot be
upheld.
M. Dupuy, who was interviewed as he
was leaving the Elysees, said the ques-
tion of Dreyfus revision was purely
judicial, adding: "No honest politician
will decline to accept tho decision which
shall be given.'
