for the February pay rolls, there is still
deficit of nearly $4,000 and the orders
from Havana still hold good limiting the
expenses during Marcn for the entire prov
ince to $4,000.
The effect of this order on Civil Gov
ernor Castillo, Mayor Bacardi and other
simply paralyizing.

filled as IT is with inconsequential matters
over the PROSTATE form of just and con-
stitutional proposition
Pending further debate on the appropri-
alton for reservoirs, the report on the
Alaska criminal code bill was presented
and agreed to. It now goes to the presi-
dent.
The river and harbor bill was again taken
ND. and Mr.. Warren addressed the senate
along the same lines as Mr. Carter. While
he was still speaking Mr. Mantle entered
a motion to recommit the bill to the con-
ference committee.
Senator Frye Aroused
This motion aroused Mr.. Frye, in charge
of the bill, and he took the floor and made
an mpassioned though brief speech upon
the motion. He declared 1t meant the death
of the bill, as 1t would be impossible to
obtain an agreement and have it ratified in
the few hours that were left of the
session. Pointing his finger dramatically
about the chamber, he indicated senators
who had grievances" and he supposed
every one of them would be before the con-
ferees If another conference were ordered
Rferring to some remarks made about
the senate conferees by Mr.. Warren, Mr..
Fry said: 81 tired of sitting here listen
ing to complaints of the work of the con-
ference committees. I've served on many
of them, and 1 wish I might never have to
serve on another. The senate conferees
made a hard fight for this amendment, and
we even sought an agreement with the
house conferees after an agreement upon
all other projects had been reached, but
they absolutely declined to yield.
"Now, we come here with the best agree
ment we could obtain, and fight Is begun
on this bill in the last night of the session.
1t is simply an attempt to defeat the meas
ure because individual senators cannot
have their way. Conference committees
have hard enough work without being SUD-
jected to castgation when they bring the
result of their arduouS labors into the SEN
ate."
Motion to Recommit Failed
The motion to recommit was defeated
Al to Is.
A motion by Mr. Hansbrough that the
senate go into executive session was de-
feated-i8 to a.
Mr.. Warren then resumed his speech.
without concluding his speech. Mr.. War
rem yielded the floor to Mr.. Stewart, VINO
spoke in favor of the reservoir proposition.
He was followed by Mr.. Wilson of WASH
ington Mr.. Wilson drew wonderful ana
beautiful word picture of the great country
west of the Mississippi river, and OF the in
exhaustible mineral and agricultural and
commercial resources of the Rocky noun
tains and Pacific coast states. lie strongly
favored the reservoirs.
Mr. Warren then resumed his speech
A partial report of the conference on the
naval appropriation bill was presented by
Mr.. Hale He explained that the senate
armor plate amendment was the serious
stumbling block, and it had been suggested
that the senate take a vote upon the prop
osition as it now was presented. he oe-
clared the situation was very serious, as
IT would affect the price of armor not only
for the ships authorized by this Dill, put
for the ships already contracted for.

On Thursday team owned by the
Delaware Hardware Co. and driven by
boy passed south on Poplar street
and headed for the works of the Pusey
& Jones Co., below the p, W. g. b.
railroad. Harry Slaughter, the flag
man, saw a train approaching and
signaled the boy to stop, but the lad
urged his horse. Seeing that it would
be almost impossible to stop the horse
himself, Slaughter seized the rod flag
and waved it toward the engineer.
The later put on the air brakes and
reversed the lever and thus slowed
down, but the rear wheels of the
wagon were grazed by the cowcatcher
OF the engine as it passed by the street.
Slaughter'ss Prompt action averted a
serious accident.
