THE SEATTLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT MONDAY. MAY %. 1900.
WORK BEFORE THE SENATE.
PHILIPPINES AND APPROPRIATION
BILLS TO BE DISCUSSED.
sion About the Middle of the
Week-Adjournmen May Not He

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The time Of the
senate during the present week will be d.
vided largely between the discussion Of the
Philippine question and the consideration
of the appropriations with a diversion
about the middle of the week in the Clark
case.
Senator Wellington will speak Monday on
the Boer resolution and he will be followed
that day, or the day following, by Senator
Teller on the Philippine question. Speeches
on the Philippine question also will be
made by Senators Pettigrew and Turner
and probably by other senator's There is
apparently no probability of the Philip
pine bill passing. but there is a general
desire on the part of the opposition to
reply to Senator Spooner's speech before
the close of the present session.
The sundry civil appropriation bill will
probably be considered for two or three
days more, and by the time that it is DIS
posed of, the general deficiency bill will be
ready for consideration. Neither the de-
ficiency nor the military academy bills, the
only appropriation bills undispceed Of ex-
cept the sundry civil bill, is expected to
consume any considerable amount of time.
The senate will make an effort to meet
the plans of the house in the matter of
final adjournment on June g. but there
Is general apprehension among senator's
that the date may be postponed until the
ninth or the eleventh. In addition to the
appropriation bills still undisposed of by
the senate, there are still several appro-
priation bills in conference and a DISPOSE
ton is manifest on the part OF senator's
not to name the date of adjournment
until these are we'll out of the way.
1t is generally believed that the Mon
tana senatorial contest will be disposed
Of when 1t is brought up. by referring it
to the committee on privileges and cleo
lions and that then nothing more will be
heard of 1t during the present session.
The committee resolution declaring that
Senator Clark's original election was not
legal also bids fair to remain on the CAL
endar.

HOW MAFEKING TOOK IT'S RELIEF


MAFEKING, Friday May 1S.-Thts was
how Mafekng took the relief:
Family from the northwest, about 1:30
p. M. May 16, we heard the sound of ar
tillery. Col Baden-Powell went up to
the lookout. The women and children
were on the housetops and most of the
men We're manning the works.
Mai. Mackenzie of the headquarters
staff, tumbled down stairs at three with a
pigeon In his hand. In a few seconds a
dispatch was on the table and the code
books were out. Mai Hamburg Tracey
cried OUT They left Masibiti this morn

The fight must have lasted three hours,
when through the glasses the Beers could
be seen stretching out In retreat.
At sunset the garrison seized the Stand
ard and Diggers' fort and shelled the
Beers as they passed
Darkness was drawing on when Ma.
Karri Davis, with eight horsemen, en-
tered Market square. The town took the
relief quietly. A trooper stopped pass
er-by, and said
iii we are the relief column"
"Oh, indeed" said the citizen. I'VE
heard you were outside" and the citizen
proceeded on his errand.

but he takes 1t pretty csolly."
The party dismounted at the stan office.

the first time in several months. Then

When the relieving column marched In at
4 a. IN. there was plenty of whisky.

IN THE HOUSE.
Time to He Taken with Conference
Reports and Considering Bills.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The house
leaders are figuring that the senate will
agree to the house resolution to adjourn
Wednesday, June G. so that much BUSH
ness win be crowded into the coming
week. Individual members with belated
bills are pressing for recognition and Will
be given some show. Conference reports
on appropriation bills win have the right
of way There are half dozen measures
of public Importance pressing, including
the oleomargarine BILL the anti-canteen
bill, the St. Louis fair bill, the Philadel-
phia museum bill and the antitrust meas
ures. but the indications are that none of
them, save the antitrust bill and resou-
ton, will be considered. Friday and Sat-
urday are to be devoted to their consid-
GRAFTON under special rules The friends
of the others, however, are active agrees
sive and insistent, and some of them may
be successful But the programme of the
leaders does not go much beyond driving
through the appropriation bills, the pass
age OF the antitrust legislation and the
cleaning up of few odds and ends.

Creston Clark.

Cdeston Clarke will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre on Monday evening, December 3, He will be seen in the power ful and thrilling play, "The Only Way" which was one of last seasons most pro- nounovd successes and which has gener- ally been declared by critics to be one of the very best dramatic productions of re- cent years. It is lofty in tone, admirably constructed with continuous action and striking climaxes, and its literary quail ties compare favorably with those of Dick ems story, "A Tale of Two Cities" upon which it is founded and which ranks with the greatest works of fiction in the Eng fish language. magnificent production of the piece will be given, with scenery, costumes and properties, being those origi- nally used by MT. Charles Frohman. The don when it was brought out there nearly two years ago. and had run of six months in New York last season. MT. Clarke will be seen as Sydney Carton, an eminently congenial role. He has made a tremendous hit in it and added to the fine reputation he has already enjoyed as an actor in the legitimate and standard drama Miss Ade- iaide Prince plays the part of Lucie Man cite, the young woman for love of whom Carton sacrificed his life on the guillotine, with much sympathy, sweetness and force, and a carefully selected company assists In their support.
