banks is going to have lively fight on his
hands at the executive session of the Senate
tomorrow afternoon over the report of the
immigration committee against the confir-
nation of T. v. PowderIy, commissioner Of
immigration. The nomination of Mr.. Pow

months on account of the opposition of SEN
ator Chandler whose vote finally forced an
adverse report. Senator Fairbanks and
the other five Republican members of the
committee voted for confirmation, and will
fight against the report of the committee.
1t Is altogether probable that Mr.. Powder

Tomorrow Both Ward and Fairchiid are
Republicans, but the name of the latter was
not regularly on the ballot as Republican
candidate. The two men got into .. dispute
as to which was the regular nominee, and
the controversy was carried to the court of
last resort, provided under the new pri-
mary election law. The appellate division
of the Supreme Court decided in favor Of
Ward, and Fsirchild appealed from the de-
cision to the Court OF Appeals. which, after
the election. decided against Ward and in
favor of Fairchild. Ward had in the mean-
time been elected, but Fairchild contested
his seat in Congress on the ground that the
votes cast for Ward should rightfully have
been cast for him. The committee, after
wrestling with the knotty case for more
than month, has decided against Fair
childs contention.

SERMON FOR M'KINLEY
PRESIDENTS PASTOR TOOK SPANISH
SITUATION FOR A Tent.
The Rev. Hugh johnson Has No Fear
of Spain, Even If Backed by France
and All Latin Nations.

WASHINGTON, March 13-President Nc
Kinley occupied his pew at the Metropoli-
tan Church this morning and listened to
sermon by DR.. Hugh Johnson his pastor,
which dealt at some length and quite di-
rectly with The problem which most
thoroughly engrosses the Presidents mind.
He took the Spanish situation for his text,
and during his discourse said: "One thing
is certain, we shall not have war unless
there is absolute justification Of it. The
dignity and honor of the Nation shall be up
held and American loyalty and bravery re-
main untarnished as ever; but the calm and
firm attitude of the chief executive assures
us that neither by prejudice, passion, pop
ular clamor, hysteria nor ambition will this
Nation be involved in a deadly strife. Secure
from invasion, with inexhaustible wealth
and resources, with a people full of the
martial spirit and able to put ten millions
of soldiers into the field and cover the seas
with battle ships, what have we to fear
from a bankrupt nation that cannot even
subdue twenty to thirty thousand ragged,
ill-fed and poorly equipped Cuban in
surgents? Or from an alliance of France
and all the Latin nations against US? Come
the three corners of the world in arms and
we shall shock them
But this power is controlled by intelli-
gence, patriotism and Christian principle,
and only stern duty 10 humanity and civili-
cation, just relations with our fellow-men
and national honor will lead us to let loose
the dogs of war;. Desiring and praying for
peace, let us hope that the extent and vgor
of these war preparations will avert the
conflict and assist the cause of peace

Unusual orders to railroads.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 10 Orders were
received here tonight by the master me-
chanics Of all the railroads entering the
city to have every engine steamed up ana
ready for use at moments notice All
roundhouses in the yards are lighted up to-
night and a full force of men is at worK-a
very unusual thing for Sunday night. A
trip to the roundhouses of several OF the
roads did not elicit any information. Those
in charge said the engines were merely
fired up for emergency, and that they al
ways kept some ready to be sent out in case
of breakdown or putting out of extra
trains. 1t was denied that any order had
been received to have any extra number OF
engines ready for use, although the report
was current around the shops that move
ment of troops was expected early in the
week.
Nearly all of the officials of the Southern
roads are out of the city, it being under
stood that they are in Florida Mr.. ]. $. E.
Thompson, general superintendent of the
Southern Railroad was seen at the Aragon
Hotel tonight. He said no orders to have
engines in readiness had been given out,
and that if any such order was issued he
would certainly know it.
Acting under instructions believed to have
been received last night, the Western &
Atlantic shops had on a full force to-day.
Engines which have not been used for a
year and freight cars abandoned some time
ago are being overhauled and all rolling
stock is being repaired. The master me-
chanic of this road denied positively that
any rush order had been received, and said
the repairs were being made in the regular
course of work. The conference of railroad

Attraction of Tramp Life.


The mysterious attraction that the life of a

Max Muller seems to come near the true
solution in the following interview with a
professional beggar which he gives in his
new book, Aud Lang Syne.' The mendi-
cant put it as follows: Talk of shooting

of racing or gambling, there is no sport like

testing for the right of way. If Chairman
Walker insists, the contested election case,

the House by vote could give the post

There is no prepared programme for the

promptly, as indeed 1t will be if any senator
is prepared to go on with the debate 1t is
not expected, however, that there will be

but a message received here to-day stated
that Lieutenant Charles G.. Creal ordnance
officer of the post, who was on furlough
in New York, cannot reach home before
Tuesday night, and hence the guns and
ammunition cannot be taken away till he
releases them. He was telegraphed yester-
day to return to Fort Riley at once. How
ever, though there are many rumors afioat.
there is no reason to believe that the ar
tillery will be moved before at least the
middle of the week, and probably not till
Friday, as at first stated. Each battery has
