TIE |'DEK IN CONGRESS
Tie House VIII Discuss an Ala
r. bama Election Contest,
,AND WILL UNsEAT MR.. PL0WMAN

sspators WIN Continue Discussion of
Sae.Hawaiinn Treaty, and the Right
of Hon. II. W. Corbett to Represent
Oregon VIII Again Be Brought Up.
! Washington, Feb. Tt is probable
that the program of the house, which
has been confined almost exclusively
,Ihis session to the consideration of
appropriation bills, will be varied this
week with the consideration of con-
tested election case. 1t Is the purpose
of the house leaders to keep the appro-
priation bills to the front In order to
obtain an early adjustment or, as the
alternative throw the responsibility
of delay on the senate. But after the
Notifications bill is disposed of only
one other appropriation bill is on the
calendar for the present-the military
academy-and 1t should not consume
more than few hours. 1t is the in
tention Of the leaders, therefore, to 1ll
the hiatus this week with the consid-
Grafton of the Aldrich- -Plowman con-
tested election case from the Fourth
Alabama district. The election COM
mittee has divided on this case on
party lines. and the indications are,
therefore, that the house will do the
same thing. and that Mr. Plowman will
be unseated.
In the house on Saturday Mr.. Royse,
OF Indiana, chairman of the committee
on elections No. 2, presented a resolu-
fion declaring that in the contest be-
tween Samuel Hudson and William
McAleer, Of Pennsylvania, for seat
in the house. Mr.. McAleer is entitled
to the seat. without division the reso-
luton and report of the committee
were adopted.
! The members on both sides of the
house have been using the latitude al
lowed In debate on appropriation bills
to make campaign speeches to be used
more or less extensively In the impend-
ing congressional campaign this fall,
and these are likely to continue indef-
'tnitely. All the members are keenly
alive to opportunities to make polit-
fcal capital for themselves or their
party, and this fact may at any time
upset prearranged programs. The
Democrats and Populists seem to be di-
recting their assaults principally
against the Republican claim that
prosperity has returned to the country.
The attention of the senate this week
will In all probability be divided be-
tween the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
bills and the right of
Hon. W. H. Corbett to a seat in the
senate from Oregon. The treaty will
-probably occupy the greater share of
attention today, but after that time
The committee on appropriations will
claim the time of the senate for the In
dian appropriation bill, which it Is ex-
pected will be reported early in the
Week. Senator Hoar will press the
Corbett matter upon the attention of
ME senate as matter of the highest
Giyilege, and several speeches will be
NRde upon 1t.

Turks, after severe fighting, have oc-
cupied and burned four villages in the
Agrapha district. in the north of AGAR

A Love Match That Failed

Philadelphia, Feb. 7.--Jacob Lorilard,
Jr, was granted a divorce on Saturday
from his wife Abbie, who entered no
defense. 1t was shown that the couple
had utterly failed to live happily to-
gether. Seven years ago the couple
were married, against the vigorous op-
position of his family. When his moth
er died she left 100000 apiece to her
other two children, expressly stating
in her will that she disinherited Jacob
because of his marriage. The divorce
may be followed by reconciliation
with his father.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE trustees of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church
have resigned. Announcement to that
effect was made from the pulpit by the
Rev. DIR. John Hall yesterday morning,
and the members of the congregation
were notified to meet at the church on
Monday, Feb. Ia, and choose new trus-
tees.
DR.. Hall read the notice In sad tone
Of voice, but he made no comment on
the matter, though it attracted atten-
tion among the pew holders, who be-
gan whispering one to another, but
desisted when he began his sermon.
The congregation is bound to stand
by DR.. Hall, no matter what may be
done by the session next Thursday
evening, and they are giving him the
warmest assurances Of their support
and assistance. The members of the
congregation were loath to discuss the
significance of the trustees action, but
1t was admitted by Robert Bonner, j.
H. Work and many others that 1t was
the direct outcome of the differences
of the factions of the church.
The trustees are the financial gov
ernors Of the church. They are also
the financial hackers of the church.
They not only represent in themselves
financial support, but also represent
the McCooks, the Maitlands and the
sloanes. who are supposed to be OPP
posed to the continuance of DR.. Hall
in the pastorate. The resignation of
the trustees Is expected to be followed
by the withdrawal of many influential
and wealthy members.
Robert Bonner, warm advocate of
DR.. Hall, said today that the resigna-
tion Of DR.. Hall had not been prompted
