WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 26.-(Special.)
Owing to the immense contracts made for
coal to be delivered during the coming sea-
son, the Great Northern railroad will operate
its own coal dock at this point hereafter The
road few months ago entered into contracts
for the delivery of half million tons Of West
Virginia bituminous coal, and it will begin
coming with the first boats Of the season.
The railroad owns the docks now occupied
by the Northwestern Fuel company, the Phil
adelphia and Reading Coal company and the
Ohio Coal company. 1t contemplates taking
the site of one of the Northwestern docks for
one Of the new steel grain elevators to be
erected here, and has accordingly notified the
Ohio Fuel company that it will not renew the
lease of its present quarters The Ohio COM
pany will continue business from their other
docks, and will probably lease its steel hoists
and machinery to the Great Northern people,
The railroad will supply its entire system
with coal from this point hereafter, and has
arranged for more coal than ever in it's his
tory. Under the circumstances it will be i'm
possible to handle the coal in the old meth
DDS, having it handled by the various coal
companies by contract, though that system
will undoubtedly be retained to certain ex-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The gov

statement that the foreign warships are

ish sources of information respecting

say, are not to be relied upon, as the

Secretary Alger was shown the dis
patch tonight and without entering
into discussion of its Importance
said he had had heard no news of that
sort.
Several dispatches that reached the
war department today from Gen. Otis
and which were made public were con-
lined to routine matters, while Secre-
tary Long said he had not heard a
word from Admiral Dewey all day.
Gen. Otis has stated to the officials all
along that he has the situation we'll in
hand. and there is no reason to believe
that he would have trouble in keeping
order in Manila where the cream Of
his troops are stationed. The press
dispatches from Manila also show q

CLOSING WEEK IN HOUSE.
1t Promises Interesting if Not Sen.
satfOnal Features.

satfOnal Features.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 26.-The
house will devote practically all Of the
closing week of the session to the
appropriation bills and conference re-
ports, and the prospects are that ev-
cry minute Of the time will be required
to get them through before noon on
March 4. An order has been made to
meet at II o'clock each day, but, in
addition to this, night sessions will be
held, and it would surprise no one if
one or more all-night sessions should
be necessary.
Everything but the appropriation
bills and the army reorganization bill
will go by the board in the final crush
A few minor bills may go through by
unanimous consent, but there is no
longer any time for the consideration
of important general measures. The
bill for the government of Hawaii has
been abandoned, and, although the
friends of the public building bills, ia
vorably acted upon in committee Of
the whole ten days ago, still cherish
a lingering hope that time will be
given for their consideration in the
house, the chance is so insignificant
that it is barely worth mentioning.
Although the fear of an extra ses-
sion practically disappeared with the
agreement in the senate upon the army
reorganization bill, it will require the
most arduous labor to get through
the appropriation bills and confer
ence reports before the curtain falls
next Saturday. The physical work of
engrossing eight or ten big appropria-
ton bills during the last forty-eight
hours will necessitate a large tempo
rary addition to the clerical force.
The engrossment of bills is done at
the government printing office when no
special exigency exists, but by a spe-
cial resolution passed Friday, permis-
sion to engross by hand during the
remainder ~of the session was given.
HOUSE HAS ADVANTAGE.
In the final adjustment of differ
ences between the two houses, the
house is enabled to bring every prop
osition to vote quickly, under sus-
pension of the rules, a motion to sus-
pepd the rules being In order at any

time during the last week Of the ses-
sion. This gives the house a distinct
advantage and enables 1t, at the fag
end of the session, to. transact an
enormous amount Of business In a
very short time.
The state Of the appropriation bills
is such that the situation might we'll
cause alarm, were 1t not for the al
most universal desire on both sides Of
the house to obviate the necessity Of
an extra session Of congress.
Only three of the fourteen supply
bills have gone to the president-the
pension, military academy and consul
lar and diplomatic. Six have passed
both houses, and the other, the river
and harbor, has been referred to the
river and harbor committee Of the
house. The sundry civil bill has pass
ed the house and is under considera-
ton in the senate The naval appro-
priation has passed the house, but has
not been reported to the senate. The
army appropriation bill Is being con-
sidered in the house and two of the
bills. the Notifications and general de-
f1ciency, are yet to be acted on by the
house.
Most of the bills have problems which
are more or less difficult to solve, but
none Of these difficulties promise
deadlock, with the single exception Of
the river and harbor bill, and it's loss
would not necessitate an extra session.
CANAL BILL FIGHT.
The fight over the Nicaragua canal
amendment which the senate placed
upon this bill as a rider will be bitter
and to the death. Although the canal
proposition undoubtedly would COM
mand a majority Of the votes In the
house, against it is arrayed the oppo
sition of the appropriations committee
and the ablest tacticians of the house.
who do not believe legislation author
izing such an enormous expenditure
should be hastily passed during the dy-
ing hours Of congress. Every strategy
known to parliamentary law will be
employed to defeat the proposition. and
if necessary, to kill the bill. should the
senate prefer it's death to it's enact
ment without the canal enactment
After the committee considers the
senate amendments, Chairman Burton
will probably come into the house with
a motion for disagreement upon all
amendments and an agreement in the
senate's request for conference.
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the inter-
state commerce committee, will move
concurrence in the senate amendment,
which motion is in order and will take
precedence. But as the amendment
contains an appropriation it must be
considered in committee of the whole
first and here the opponents will make
their fierce fight.
Obstructive tactics may be employed,
but it's friends hope to win in the end
and upon the final vote the amendment
may carry. But this will not end the
fight. 1t may be transferred to all con-
ference reports on the bill and be car
ried to the end, SO that it seems the
friends of the canal amendment may
be effectualy blocked, unless they can
command the necessary two-thirds to
suspend the rules. If they can the bill
will probably become, law with the
canal amendment in it. If they can
not the bill will probably fail, unless
the senate at the. last moment consents
to jettison it.
Altogether this promises to be a.

MANILA, Feb. 26.-Last night the
rebels concentrated IN such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that Gen.
Macarthur anticipated an attack and
asked for reinforcements. Two COM
panies of the Twenty-third regulars
were sent to Caloocan and a battalion
of the Twentieth regulars to the ceme-
terry at about midnight.
The expected attack was not made,
the rebels after making a great noise
with bugle calls and yels of Viva in

icanos' and firing volleys. disappeared
in the woods.
1t is believed their leaders are get
ting desperate and are attempting to
force the United States troops to make
an attack, in the hope of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are evidently unwilling to be
pacified when facing the Americans 1t
is just possible, however that they
may be goaded into such a move be-
fore reinforcements arrive.
