Washington, March 1.-THE Senate
will, in all probability, begin the week
with the consideration of the bill max
ing appropriations for the District of
Columbia, and when this is completed
will take up the conference report on
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation BILL which has been
agreed upon and Will be made TO the
Senate tomorrow. 1t is considered
quite probable that the District bill
will consume two or three days, or
even more. One of the questions in
this bill which may arouse debate is
the action Of the Senate committee on
Appropriations in striking out the
item in the bill as it came from the
House limiting telephone charges in
the District. There will be an effort
to restore this provision.
THE CENSUS BILL,
the Methodist book agent bill, and
Senator Pettigrew's bill donating five
per cent of the proceeds of sales OF
public lands to the various States in
which the lands are located, will con-
tend for right of way when there are
no appropriation bills TO receive at
tention. and it is as yet uncertain
which of them will be first taken up.
All of these may be antagonized by
the Hawaiian annexation, but the
plans of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee with reference TO the treaty are
so far too indefinite to permit any pre-
diction as to what 1t will do.
IN THE HOUSE.
It is probable that both the bill for
the relief OF the survivors and the VIC
TINS Of the Maine disaster and the
Senate bill creating two additional
regiments of artillery with which to
man the coast defenses will pass the
House this week. The former bill was
held up until it could be investigated,
as it was said that the special bill for
the relief of the survivors and victims
of the Samoan wreck in 1888 led to
some scandal. That bill was loosely
drawn, and it has been asserted some
advantage of its provision We're taken.
The present bill has been carefully
drawn and is now satisfactory TO Mr..
Cannon, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations. Practically all OPP
position to
THE ARTILLERY BILL
has now disappeared in the House.
The leaders were, it is said, in favor Of
delaying action upon it to allay public
alarm which might have been intensi-
fed had it been rushed through the
House as it was through the Senate.
Beyond action on these two measures
the House programme this week so far
as is now anticipated is entirely peace
full and has no reference to possible
foreign complications. Tomorrow is
District of Columbia day, and Friday
by special order, has been set aside
for the consideration of the Bowman
act claims bill The Thorp-Eppes
contested election case will occupy
two. possibly three days, and such
time as remains will probably be con-
sumed in the consideration of the post
office appropriation bill. which is ex-
pected to be ready by Wednesday.
Any unlocked for Developments in
the Spanish situation might change
the programme.

STILL FOR SILVER,
But Senator Mills Withdraws From the
Race for the Senate.

Race for the Senate.
Houston, Tex, March 6.-The Post
will in the morning print letter from
United States Senator Mills, in which
he formally withdraws from the race
for reelection, which leaves the field
TO Governor c. A. Culbertson. In
mis- letter Mr.. Mills gives as the prin-
cipal reason for his withdrawal. the
recent action of the State Executive
Committee. which made stringent
test for all persons desiring to particl-
pate in Democratic primaries and con-
yentions.
The Senator denies that he has de
serted bimetallism, and goes into his
record at length, concluding his letter
by saying:
Now that the great body of the
commercial world has taken its stand
against silver, | do not believe it in
the power of the United States alone,
by its Independent action, to restore
the value of silver to par with gold at
is to l. / believe the United States
can restore the demand which they
withdrew, but do not believe that
they can restore the demand which
was withdrawn by other countries
when they closed their minis against
silver
The coinage of all the silver in the
world would accomplish no good while
exhaustive taxation is eating away
the life of the country day and night.
It is taxation that is stopping the
wheels of industry keeping men out
of employment. forcing down the prices
of farm products, forcing up the prices
OF manufactures, building up monied
aristocracy and tearing down the pill
lars of the republic.

that we should intervene.
THE spirit Of the American people

yenticn. | do not regard a war with
Spain as one of any great consequence
I believe it would end in short time,
but whether or not that be the case,

mand and require such an interven-
ton.
Il firmly believe President McKin-
ley is thoroughly in sympathy with
this feeling. We shall wait for the re-
port of the board Of inquiry, and then
nothing can hold back Congress"

Can See No Other Solution of the Situation
Than War.
New York, March 6.-The World TO-
day prints the following telegram from
Washington:
Senator Frye believes there will be
war He openly declared this belief
in an interview with me- His opini IN
is given added weight by his position
as a member of the Foreign Relations
Committee. He said to-day: Il think
there will be war. i do not see how it
can be avoided without dishonor to me
United States. feel certain that the
beard Of inquiry will report that the
Maine was blown up by an outside
agency believe that conclusion
TO BE UNAVOIDABLE.
The least that this country can d..
under these circumstances is to de-
mand, as Secretary Sherman has
stated, good round sum in indemni9r.
Spain Will not pay it. The pride vi
Spanish people is, perhaps, too great to
permit them TO agree TO such a prope-
sition, and, moreover, there is large
body of The Spanish people who seen
TO desire war.
Spain is doing everything in Tie
way of preparing for such a conflict
and | believe it win certainly take
place. If indemnity is refused wa
must necessarily follow But altogetE-
er, aside from the question regarding
the destruction Of the Maine, there IS
an awful and inhuman process now
going on in Cuba OF eXterminating tie
inhabitants by starvation.
President Cleveland and President
Mckinley both gave notice that The
time would come when this county
would

it,

Action by Japan in the Matter Of the
Chinese War Indemnity, Due in
May---Demands by Russia Which
Nav Lead to War in the East.

PEKIN, March 5.-On Friday last Ano
Fumia, the japanese minister 10 China
demanded an official signed assurance Of
the payment Of the indemnity due next
May.
The Chinese government instructed
Yang Yu, the Chinese minister az st.
Petersburg, to urge Russia to evacuate
Port Arthur. Russia deferred decision,
alleging that the presence Of Russian
ships at Port Arthur was beneficial to
China, and favorable TO peace in the
Orient. Russia is now opposing the
Anglo-German loan. NJ. Pavloff, the Rus
sian Charge d'Affaires, lodged formal
protest last Thursday and demanded a
quid pro quo The details Of the Russian
demand are not yet made public, but
Russias attitude is regarded as inimical
to peace in the far East.
On Friday. NJ. Gerar, the French min
lister to China made similar complaint
with corresponding demands for compen-
sation in the South.
England and Germany are now re-
garded as having obtained their legiti-
mate aspirations; and Russia and France
desire to secure theirs.
The Chinese acknowledge that the Brit
ish late loan negotiations We're disnter-
ested, and calculated to advance China's
welfare and to maintain her independ-
ence.

A REAL DUEL FOUGHT
Between an Italian Literary Man and
a Deputy.
The Poet, Signor Cavalotti, Was
Killed by His Antagonist, in the
Third Engagement-His Adver-
sary, Signor Macola, Was Not
Injured Sketch Of the Dead
Fighter-A Red Hot American
Duel

Rome, March 6.-Signor Folico Car
10 Cavalotti, poet, dramatist, publicist,
and the well known Radical member
Of the Chamber of Deputies for Corte
Olona, was killed here this afternoon
in a duel with swords with Signor
Macola, member Of the Chamber OF
Deputies and editor Of the Gazetta di
VeneZin.
The encounter was the outcome of
a press polemic in the columns of the
Milan Secolo and the Gazetta di Ven
ezin. 1t took place at an unfrequented
spot outside the Porta Maggiore
Shortly before the meeting Signor
Cavalotti seemed in excellent spirits
and even
JCKED WITH HIS SECONDS.
When the word was given he attacked
his opponent vigorously.
The first two engagements were
without result, but III the third Signor
Cavalotti received a thrust in the
throat that severed his jugular At
first it was thought it was only slight
ly injured, but the gravity of the
wound was soon perceived on his put
ting his hand to his mouth. He with
drew it covered with blood and could
not utter a word.
The doctors and his seconds carried
him to Zellino and laid him NJ bed
in the residence of the Countess Gel
leres (Cellaro).
Trachetomy was performed and ar
tificial breathing attempted, but all
efforts were useless. Signor Cavalotti
expired in ten minutes without speak
ing again. Signor Macola did not re-
ceive a scratch.
The news on reaching the city caused
A GREAT SENSATION.
Numerous deputies and friends hur-
ried TO the spot and there is universal
regret over the tragic end of Cava-
lotti
Signor Cavalotti was lifelong oppo-
nent of Signor Crispi and Has glad to
be known as one of the italian poll
tlcians who resisted with all their en-
ergies the tide which, under the aus
pices of Crispi, carried Italy toward
Germany.
In 1895, when the Banca Romano
scandal was the sensation of Europe,
Slgnor Cayalotti, then leader of the OBJ
position in the Italian Chambers, dis
covered what he called a new and
most promising lode.
Going through the list of great and
little men entitled to wear the grand
cross Of the order of St Maurice and
Lazare, he came upon the name of Dr.
Cornelius Herr. Rightly conjecturing
that it would not be there except for
A CASH CONSIDERATION.
he prosecuted his inquiries until he
felt warranted in making the public
declaration that Sianor Crispi the
premier of that day, was guilty of an
Illicit trafticking of decorations Not
long after he published a pamphlet
against Crispi, repeating this charge
and adding the charge of bribery in
the fifth district of Rome where the
premier had defeated the Sicilian So
cialist Giuseppe de Felice Giuffrida.
Later Signor Cavalotti secured the
impeachment of Signor Crispi, then
fallen from power. for the disasters in
the Abyssinian campaign To the
last he relentlessly pursued Crispi, and
the latter, in the death of his brilliant
and fearless adversary, will probably
see the end of the long campaign
against him.
