HOUSE TO WORK HARD.
Rush of Business Necessary to Ad-
iourn June 6.

Washington, May 27.-The house
leaders are figuring that the senate
viii agree to the house resolution to
adjourn Wednesday, June s, so that
much business viii be crowded into the
coming week.
Individual members with be1ated bills
are pressing for recognition and will
be given some show. Conference re-
ports on appropriation bills will have
the right of way. There are half doz-
en- measures of public importance
pressing, including the oIeOmaraarine
bill, the anti-canteen bill, the St. Louis
fair bill, the Philadelphia museum bill.
and the antitrust measures. but the
indications are that none of them save
the antitrust bin and resolution will
be considered. Friday and Saturday
are to be devoted to their consideration
under special rules. The friends of the
others, however, are active, aggressive
and insistent and some of them NAV
be successful But the programme of
the leaders does not go much beyond
driving through the appropriation bills,
the passage of the antitrust Iegisla-
ton and the cleaning up Of a few odds
/ and ends.

MAY RETURN FLAGS.
Grand Army Men Plan a Graceful
Deed.

Chicago, May IA special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
During the G. a. r. encampment in Chi
cago, President Mckinley may have the
pleasure of returning to the southern
states the 400 or 500 confederate battle
flags now in the war department.
Prominent members of the c. A r.
have in hand a plan to secure the au-
thorization of congress for the return Of
these flags, and it is hoped that both
houses will pass the necessary joint resO-
luton before adjournment. During the
second week it is expected the military
committees will take the necessary pre-
liminary action
If the consent of congress can be OBJ
tanned the flags viii be turned over to the

Cape Nome this winter that it is doubt
full Il any of the 10000 men now

from Juneau early in March, says that
several hundred men at Nome have spent
the entire winter locating thousands of

Empires Financial Condition-Suga1
Area Increases.

area increases
Berlin, May 27-One of the directors
of the Reichsbank. interviewed yester-
day by a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press regarding the financial sit
uation, said:
AT tOday's meeting of the central
committee it was asserted that the sit
uatiOn would not yet warrant a reduc-
ton in the discount rate The new
discounts are now of smaller dimen-
sions but comparison of the banks
status now with that of a year ago is
unfavOrable. The metal stock is less
by 66,OOO,OO0 marks, and the prospects
for an increase are not good.
Germany is not receiving foreign
gold, although Russian gold to the
amount of $4,000, Geo francs has gone to
France since May ], and considerable
quantity to London. The reduction of
the bank rates on London and Paris
! has faVOTably affected our exchange
prices, as well as private discounts
and, therefore. I think d reduction of
our rate will follow, probably within a
week. The prospects are that demand
for new capital for industrial loans
viii be less hereafter, because changed
conditions have set in in speculation.
Manufacturers win hesitate to en-
/ large their plants now, since the view
/ has spread that the boom has reached
its climax
Nevertheless, Herr Koch, president
of the Reichsbank, who has just made
a tour in southern and southwestern
/ Germany. found a very optimistic tone
there regarding the continuance of the
boom, and if the South African war
ends soon, money market conditions
may greatly improve before the au-
tumn. Otherwise there VIII be great
stringency then.
The iron situation is less rosy. Con-
trary to the announcement that all the
output for 1900 has been sold, small lots
are still offered. The wire nail syndi-
cate has raised prices 80 pfennigs per
hundred.
The German sugar area for 1900
shows an increase of 3 per cent.

TWO FIRES YESTERDAY.
One Near The Herald and the Other
Also Small, Was in House.

For the third time the fire fiend yes
terday tried to burn out The Herald,
but the effort was less successful than
on any previous occasion.
This time it was a pile of lumber
in the rear of the building that caught
fire from some unknown cause, and al
though it created a great deal of ex-
element and raised a lot of smoke, the
loss is nominal. The department made
a splendid run to the scene, better than
usual, perhaps, as the boys had in mind
the disastrous conHagratiOn of April 1,
and they did not know, from the way
in which the alarm came in, but that
the Progress block was again in flames.
The blaze was under control before il
got a good start.
A fire broke in a summer kitchen III
the rear of 20 East North Temple street
at 1920 last evening. A telephone mes
sage was sent TO fire department
headquarters, which quickly sent the
hose wagon to the scene and soon sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames. The
loss on the house and contents from
fire and water is estimated at about
S175 The house. which is said to be the
property of the Latter-day Saints
church, had no insurance on it. The
cause of the fire is not known.

Lord Roberts has wired the war office
that there is urgent need of more rolling

contracts have been placed in the United

cars, the British manufacturers being I'M

A CapetOwr correspondent says:
United States Consul General Stowe is
about TO visit Lord Roberts, out of per-
sOnal curiosity or political business, not

1t viii Come Up This Week in
the Senate.
REFERENCE is LIKELY
PROSPECTS ARE FOR DROPPING
IT THIS SESSION.
Adjournment Approaches and Pre-
parations Are Made to Dispose of
the Appropriation Bills and the
Philippine Measure-Latter Will
Probably Fail of Passage.


Washington, May 27.-The time of
the senate during the present week
will be divided largely between the
discussion of the Philippine question
and the consideration of the appropria-
tons, with a diversion about the mid
die of the week ia the Clark case.
Senator Wellington will speak Mon
day on the Boer resolution and he will
be followed that day or the day fol-
lowing by Senator Teller on the Phil
ippine question. Speeches on the
Philippine question also will be made
by Senators Petugrew and Turner and
probably by other senators. There is
apparently no probability of the Phil
ippine bill passing, but there is a gen
eral desire on the part of the opposition
TO reply to Senator Spooner's speech
before the close of the present session
viii be Disposed of Quickly.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
will probably be considered for two
or three days more, and by the time
that 1t is disposed of the general de-
ficiency bill will be ready for consid-
GRAFTON. Neither the deficiency nor the
| military academy bills, the only APP
preparation bills undisposed of. except
the sUndry civil bill. is expected to con-
sumo any considerable amount of time.
The senate viii make an effort to
meet the plans of the house in the mat
ter Of final adjournment June 6. but
there is a general apprehension among
senators that the date may be post
poned until the 9Th or the 18th. In adj
dltlon to the appropriation bills still
undlspOSed of by the senate, there are
still several appropriation bills in con-
ference and a disposition is manifest
on the part of senators not to name
the date Of adjournment until these
are well out of the way.
1t is generally believed that the
Montana senatorial contest will be dis
/ posed of when it is brought up by re-
/ ferring it to the committee on Drivi-
leges and elections and that then moth
ing more Will be heard of it during the
/ present session. The committee reso-
/ luton declaring that Senator Clark s
! original election was not legal also bids
