urer Haywood, who died last Thursday.
The charges grew out of the failure OF
the Peoples bank of this city in March
last. The formal allegation is that
the Quays and Haywood. while the lat
ter was state treasurer. conspired with
John s. Hopkins, cashier of the bank,
to use. and that they did use. in violation
of law. state funds on deposit In the
bank for their own priva purposes.
Hopkins committed suicide when the
bank failed.
The case has already gone through
many preliminary stages, and number
Of postponements have been granted
at the prayer of the defense. Demurrers
TO the indictments were filed and over
ruled. and when the case was taken to
the supreme court on the plea, among
others. that the prosecution was actuated
by political motives, which would pre-
vent an impartial trial in this county.
the higher court did not sustain this
view. and ordered the trial 10 60 on in
the usual course. Judge Beitler Will be
on the bench during the trial. In an
ticipation OF a crush the attendance VIII
be restricted TO witnesses, jurors ana
newspaper representatives.
The first day will doubtless be oc-
cupied in drawing a jury. and IL is
thought that the trial will consume at
least one week. The commonwealth
will call between 30 and 60 witnesses, and
the defense probably as many more.

LAST WEEK OF THE
PRESENT CONGRESS.
Many Bills Will Meet Death on Cal
endar--Army and Appropriation
Bills Believed to Be Safe.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The house will
devote practically all OF the closing week
OF the session TO the appropriation bills
and conference reports, and the pros
poets are that every minute of the time
will be required TO get them through
before noon on March 4.
An order has been made TO meet at IL
o'clock each day. but In addition TO this
night sessions will be held, and II would
surprise no one if one or more all-night
sessions should be necessary. Every
thing except the appropriation bills and
the army reorganization bill Will go by
the boards I'm the final crush. A few
minor bills may go through by unani-
nous consent, but there is no longer any
time for the consideration of important
general business.
The bill for the government of Hawaii
has been abandoned, and, although the
friends OF the public building bills ia
vorably acted upon in the committee OF
the whole 10 days ago still cherish a
lingering hope that time Will be given
for their consideration In the house, the
chance Is so Insignificant that ii Is barely
worth mentioning. Hundreds Of bills
will die on the calendar. Although the

long as there Is any chance OF success.
III the debate should be continued 10
any considerable length the action would
be generally accepted as indicating a
purpose to force an extra session. as all
admit that. with so many appropriation
bills pending, IL is impracticable 10 give
very much more time 10 the army Dill
and still pass the supply bills before
March 4. There Is as yet no danger OF
failure OF either the army bill or the ap-
preparation bills. No senator can be
found who avows himself desirous of
forcing a called session. Hence the gen
eral belief that all these measures will
become laws, and that when congress ad-
journs for the session next Saturday leg
islation will be In such shape as TO rem

main at their homes until next December.
There is no doubt OF the passage Of the
army bill by large majority when the
vote Is taken.

almost all the attention OF the senate
after the army bill is out of the way. and

gard the occurrences at the function as
the most promising auguries Of Cuban
independence since the peace protocol

Lee. His remarks and those Of General
Brooke were translated for the benefit OF
the assembly. Both the American speak

administration, chiefly along the line OF
assurance that the United States in

guilty OF unprofessional conduct, In

spring with Judge Dellenbaugh TO get

and Indan-are in conference. where
the representatives of the two houses
are seeking to adjust the difficulties.
The river and harbor has been referred
to the river and harbor committee OF the
house. The sundry civil has passed the
house, and is under consideration in the
senate. The naval bill has passed the
house, but has not yet been reported TO
the senate. The army bill is being con-
sidered In the house, and two OF the
bills, the Notifications and general de-
fciency, are yet TO be acted upon by the
house.
Most OF the bills In conference have
problems which will be more or less diff
ficult to solve. but none of these diff
ferences, vexatious and serious as they
may be. promise a deadlock which might
result in their failure, with the single
exception OF the river and harbor BILL
and it's loss would not necessitate an
extra session. The fight over the Mic
araguan canal amendment, which the
senate placed upon this bill as a rider,
will be bitter and TO the death.
After the committee considers the
senate amendments, Chairman Burton
will probably come into the house with a
motion for a disagreement upon all
amendments, and an agreement in the
senate's request for a conference. Mr..
Hepburn chairman of the interstate
commerce committee, will move con-
currence in the canal amendment, which
motion il In order and takes precedence.
But. as the amendment carries an ap-
propriation. IL must be considered in

Obstructive tactics can he employed,
but IL lies In the power of the majority

that upon a vote the house may agree
10 the amendment. But this Will not
end the contest by any means. IL can
be transferred to all conference reports
upon the bill and prolonged TO the teop-
ardy of the appropriation bills TO such
an extent that IL would seem that in the
final issue the friends OF the canal
amendment will be effectually blocked.
unless they can command the necessary
two-thirds TO suspend the rules. II
they can. the bill will probably become a
law with the canal amendment in IT,.
If they cannot. the bill will probably fail.
unless the senate at the last moment,

promise is for most interesting and re-
markable week In the house.
