VOTE ON QUAY CASE.
Believed 1t VIII DC Reached This Week
other Matters to BE Con-
sidered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--The time of
the senate during the present week will
be divided between the questions of
the finances, the government policy to.
ward the insular possessions and the
seating of Senator Quay upon the nomi'
nation of the governor of Pennsylvania.
The Hawaiian bill remains the unfin-
ished business, subject to removal at any
time by the Quay resolution and also by
tie conference report upon the currency
bill.
Senator Aldrich has given notice that
he will make a speech in explanation Of
the currency bill agreement on Wednes-
day and that he will call it up the next
day Thursday and then ask final action
upon it. The request Of course will
lead to spirited contest, to many SHARP
speeches and to the final adoption of the
report by practically the same vote by
which tho bill originally passed the sen
ate.
The matter may be before the senate
for several days.
There will be several speeches during
the week on the Quay resolution ano
there is probability Of reaching vote
on it the latter part OF the week. Sena
tor Chandler probably will speak fol
Mr.. Quay today and Senator Turley in
opposition. Later in the week Senator:
Hoar and Penrose will talk for Mr.
Quay and Senator Burrows in opposi
ton. After these only short speeches
will be heard Senator Penrose says ht
will make an effort to have the discus
sion confined to the morning hour so Al
not to interfere with other questions be
fore the senate, but that If a disposition
to delay the vote should become appar
ent he will then press the Quay matter
He counts upon vote late in the weel
and says he expects larger vote thai

the resolution up.
When the Hawaiian bill is voted upol
the Porto Ricon will be taken up. Sena

forboding the news of it's effect.
IL soon developed that the Gloucesters
and Essexes had lost their way and had
bivouacked, in error, close to the Boer

AS soon as they were perceived by the
enemy the latter fnsladed. Wonderful

There was desultory firing all day

Our first contact with the Ladysmitf
Boers was singularly unfortunate for

the kopje was frequently dotted with

The Boer method Of removing their
dead is to tic a couple Of reins 10 the

horsemen at full gallop.
