sFNArEs NIGHT SESSION.
Grent Pressure to Have Bills Take

Great Pressure to Have Bills Taken
From the Calendar.
When the Senate met at o'clock last
night there was a larger attendance OF
Senators and greater show of activity on
the floor than had usually marked the Pro-
ceediIgs even in the day session. The gaI-
leries were well filed. those reserved for
ladies being conspicuous by reason of the
white and colored gowns. 1t was for all
practical purposes. the first night session
during the present Congress. There had
been few formal Eight meetings before,
but they were only for the purpose OF hav-
ing tho Alaska Code bill read But last
night important business was pressing, to
be disposed of, so that the fnal adjourn.
ment might take place, as proposed to-
morrow. Mr.. Pettigrew made an anti-Ad-
Ininistration speech to pretty large atten-
dance OF Senators ard well-filled galleries.
He spoke for an hour, but not with his
accustomed vim. and. as he pleaded weayi-
ness at the end Of the hour, he continua-
ton Of the speech went over Ill today.
Then the pressure began 20 get bills
taken from the calendar and passed Many
Senators were recognized for that purposv,
ard some of their bills were passed. but
still more were objected and failed. This
order or business was broken IN upon py
conference reports-the first Of these being
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. 1t
was oaly a partial report. leaving a good
many matters in the bill still undisposed
of. The report was agreed to. and a fur
thar conference was ordered. This confer
ence was followed by one on the Emer-
gency River and Harbor bill, and this was
quickly disposed of.
When these conference reports were out
of the way the pressure on the part Of in
dividual Senators to get action on bills II
which they felt particular interest was re-
newed. A dozen Senators were on their
feet at a time waiting for their turns to
come, and when it did come. and they had
the opportunity OF asking consent for th-
passage of their special measures. they
were generally met with objection on the
part OF other Senators. who were not in
consenting mood. Finally this game wCs
closed by the presiding officer presenting
the House resolutions on the death Of Rep
resenta.ive Epes of Virginia. EuiogIes
were pronounced, ard the Senate. at II
o'clock p M. adjourned till this morning
at 10 o'clock

No Chance of Its Passage mt This ses-

Mr.. Jones Of Arkansas yesterday tried to
get the bill Incorporating the Washington
Telephone Company before the Senate, and
asked Mr.. Mcmillan when the measure
could be passed.
II think it will go over" said Mr.. Nc
MILAN. There is strong objection to its
being passed"
II oppose this BILL" said Mr.. Pettigrew,
because it offers no remedy. The new
and the old companies will form a COM
bine and the people will be fooled"
Il am sure the present company will
do what is right" said Mr.. Gallinger. III
it does not. We can attend to 1t when we
meet IN December"
II am sorry we can't pass the bill"
said Mr.. Jones. Il give notice that

Secretary Root yesterday sent to the
Senate a reply to the resolutions Of that
body calling for statement showing the
number OF FIlipinos killed, the number
wounded. and the number taken prisoners
since the Philippine outbreak The War
Department did not have this information
on hand, and cabled General Macarthur at
Manila for 1t. His reply was received yes
terday. and the answer to the resolutions
prepared General Macarthur shows that
nearly 1900 Filipinos were killed and over
10, 900 taken prisoners. He says:

Mr.. WOlcott Gives n Warming and
Suggestion to Postal Clerks.
In the Senate yesterday an effort was
made to have special arrangement made
for private pension bills. Mr.. Pettigrer
protested against 1t. He said that more
pension bills had been passed this session
than at any other session for years, and
that that indicated conclusively either that
the pension laws are defective and unjust
or that special favors are granted for po-
litical purposes.
Mr.. Gallinger, Chairman OF the Pension
Committee. said he was not sure that more
than at previous sessions.
Several private bills were passed. in
cludjns one to repay to Matthias Pedersc,
$500. which he had wrongfally paid for Il
substitute in the army during the civil
war. he being an alien, and Not liable To
military service.
The House bill! authorizing the construc-
tion Of traffic bridge across Red River,
ct Alexandria, La, was passed.

On POstoffic5s a bill for the classification OF
clerks in the first and second Class post
offices. Mr. Wolcott. Chairman of the Com
mittee on PostofficeS. mentioned as
warning and suggestion" that clerks OF
first and second-class postoffices had been
contributing 10 per cent Of their compen-
saton as fund to influence the legisla-
ton CT Congress In their behalf. They had
been able to employ Che hoped) some good
men; but he knew OF some VIGOROUSLY
bad men whom they had employed. and
who infested committee rooms and corrl-
dors. The clerks gained nothing by such
action. No such sum as $4,000 (Which had
been contributed) could be legtimately
used by the agents OF these postoffice
clerks
Mr.. Butler. a member Of the Committee
on Postofiices, remarked that IL all the as
sessments were paid they would amount to
5000, 900.
Mr.. WoIcott said he had no doubt OF II.
Every man who was supposed to have
pu!l' got himself employed by those poor
clerks, and hung around the Capitol, in the
suppos.ion that they were pressing legis-

The bill was fecommitted.

Baker alleges that he negotiated with Frost for the purchase of the barber shop at Orange and Court streets. The place is now run by Joseph Farina. Baker says he gave $25 down to bind the bargain and afterward sold out his business in con- temptation of moving into Orange street. When he attempted to take pos session of the Orange street shop Farina refused to give it up Baker says that he has been put out of busi- ness by the failure of Frost to deliver to him the business he bargained for and sued the barber broker for his loss.

They fled, and he made his way to the station where he told his story to the police. He was taken to the station house and from there to the hospital after his wound had been dressed by a physician. It was said at the hospital this noon that the man s injuries were not serious, and that he would be discharged in a day or two. Johnson said he had been out of work some time, and was trying to get back to New Haven.
