Foreign Intcrests sateruarded.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The confir-
nation Of the press reports detailing
the capture of Iloilo were received at
the war department with considerable
satisfaction. The reports Of strong in
trenchments that the natives had been
constructing around the town led the
department. to fear that the landing
would be bloodier affair than either Of
the battles of Manila. 1t was with
great satisfaction therefore that Admi-
raj Dewey's dispatch was received say
ing we had lost no men at all, and the
casualties among the natives were much
smaller than at first reported. The fact
that foreign interests at Iloilo are being
satisfactorily guarded is another
source Of qualification to the admin
istration. This forestalls criticism
or danger Of interference from any for
eign power, which has all along been
complication that had to be considered
as possibility, but which it was in
tended to avoid at all costs. What the
future will be, it is scarcely safe to say
The president from the inception of the
Spanish war has been earnestly in favor
Of the most humane policy, and it is not
intended to follow the severe check to
the Filipinos with war of subjugation
If the insurgents will allow this govern
ment to avoid it. They have had stern
lesson at Manila and at Iloilo, and if
they are content to profit by it and
come peaceably into camp, they may do
SO without fear of further chastisement
Still, it is recognized that Admiral
Dewey and General Otis have much
better grasp of the local situation than
is possible here, and the administration
does not purpose to tie their hands with
unnecessary instructions

Senate Passes Agricultural Bill.

SENATE Passes Agricultural Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-At no time
during the session of the senate Mon
day was quorum of the body present,
a majority of the members being snow
bound at their homes. For the first
time in many years no invocation was
pronounced at the opening of the SEES
sion, neither regular chaplain nor any
other minister being able to reach the
capitol. A sharp debate on the unani-
nous agreement made Saturday after
noon to vote on the McEnery resolu-
ton, was precipitated early in the ses-
sion. Some feeling was manifested by
senators who object to the adoption of
the resolution, but none of them indi-
Gated what might be their action today.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
called up, considered and passed with
only a few unimportant amendments.
Mr.. Hale, chairman of the naval af-
fairs committee, favorably reported and
the senate passed bill creating an adj
miral of the navy, it being intended
that Rear Admiral Dewey should get
the office.
Tilt Between Allen and Chandler.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Throughout
its open session Thursday the senate
had under consideration the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriate bill.
A lively debate was precipitated over
the appropriation for the support of the
office of the supervising architect of the
treasury and that official was criticised
for the delay in the construction of
public buildings throughout the United
States. A speech made by Mr.. Allen,
i'll which he commented unfavorably
upon the methods of the appropriations
committee, induced rejoinder from
Mr.. Chandler, which resulted in sharp
tilt between the two senator's.

Mniority of Che Members snowbound.

Majority of the Members Snowbound.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE raging
blizzard caused practically suspen-
sion of business at the house Monday
The great marble capitol looked like
snow palace. The few members of the
house who arrived had no thought for
anything save the weather. They stood
about the weather map in the lobby in
the rear of the hall, discussing the tenn.
perature and snowfall, record breaking
in all parts Of the country, and it was
the unanimous verdict of the oldest
member in the group that nothing ap.
preaching the present cold spell and
snowfall had been known in Washing
ton in their experience. Speaker Reed
did not appear. but sent word that in
his opinion it was inadvisable to hold
session of the house, and General Hen.
derson Of Iowa. who had braved the
storm, decided it would be best to adj
journ Immediately after assembling.

still the pure little soul took it's
flight, returning to its Maker. But
a few fleeting days had passed since
in Its innocence and sweetness it came
to this life and ere the days of account
ability had arrived it closed its eyes
in sleep, free from the cares and toll
of life. The funeral services were
held at Sands school house conduct
ed by Rev. Porter. The mortal clay
was laid in the silent grave in the
Cameron Center cemetery, but the
sweet and pure spirit of the innocent
babe had gone to the blessed home,
free from the strife and turmoil of
life's journey.

Canal Bill UpIn House.

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The Nicar-
aqua bill was offered in the house Tues
day as an amendment to the civil APP
preparation bill by Mr.. Hepburn and
the leaders on the respective sides are
engaged i'll a desperate struggle, which
involves the fate Of the measure at this
session Of congress. After Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the committee, served
notice last week that there was no time
for the consideration of the canal bill
at this session, the supporters of the
sundry civil bill as rider, if possible.
AS soon as it, was offered Mr.. Cannon
raised four points Of order against it,
and one of the most interesting parlia-
mentary debates of the session was on.
AS rule, the house leaders are able
to hold the members in line, but strong
arguments are adduced in support
Of the pertinency Of the amendment
and besides the bill has strong friends
on both sides of the chamber who are
seemingly ready to adopt any expedi-
ent to provide for the construction of
the canal. The debate on the points Of
order lasted two hours yesterday and
was not concluded. 1t promises to con-
sumo several hours today. It seems to
be a foregone conclusion that the chair
man Of the committee of the whole
(Mr. Hopkins), will sustain the points
of order so that the real test will come
on the question of overruling the chair.
Should the chair be overruled there is
no doubt that the amendment will
command majority Of votes. About
20 pages Of the bill were disposed Of
yesterday. No important amendments
were adopted.

ROUNDS ACQUITTED.
He Altered Government Notes, but
He Could Not Be Convicted

w. S. Rounds. alias Charles Sanford
is a lucky confidence man. He was ar
rested about two weeks ago by the police
for working the lock game" upon a jay
from the country who thought that he
could beat a gambler at his own trade.
On the person of the prisoner was found
a roll of genuine dollar bills which had
been raised by pasting over the dollar the
figures go and ''100, cut out of an in
ternal revenue cigar stamp.
Rounds was turned over to the Federal
authorities and he was indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury for having in his
possession altered Government notes with
intent to defraud.
The case came up for trial yesterday in
the United States District Court, and the
defendant s attorney interposed the plea
that the Government had failed to show
that Rounds had the notes in his possess
sion with the intention of defrauding
Judge de Haven decided that the point
was we'll taken and the jury acquitted the
defendant without leaving their seats.
Immediately after Rounds left the
building he was rearrested by Detective
Egan on a charge of vagrancy. Rounds

During tbe running of the recent indoor
bicycle tournament at the Mechanics "a

night 1t was decided to give big race
meet on the track, open to all, on Sunday
afternoon, April 16. The affair will be in
charge of Charles Albert Adams, r. G.

credit for their activity in promoting the
