These are busy days at the local
Lackawanna railroad depot. Never in
the history of the road at this point
were there more crews at work or To-
comOtives in the yard.
This shows that the new manage
ment are handling the business in spite
of all reports to the contrary. Never
have longer trains passed through and
never has the passenger service been
so perfect than now. 1t is true that
some of the trains are late, but it is
caused solely by the immense amount
of traffic on the road, causing divis-
ions to become congested,
There are at present stationed in the
Lackawanna yards here twelve engin-
GERS, twelve brakemen and fourteen
conductors, almost double the former
number. The freight and station men
are not included, nor the mechanics
and helpers at the shops. This is still
not enough for the work to be. done, for
frequently the crews who work on the
hill engines during the night have to
go out again in the morning, getting
but few hours rest.-Stroudsburg

THE DAUGHTERS
 0F CONFEDERACY Vote to Buy the Old Jeff Davis Home-Mrs. Kirkpat-
 rick President.

Opelika, May 2.-(Special. )-The second days session of the state convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy held here today, was full of lively discussion. After an address by General George P. Harrison, the committee reported, and then a resolution was introduced as to whether the Alabama chapter should buy the old Jefferson Davis home at Montgomery. This was the White House of the Confederacy, and the resolution created tremendous in- terest in the convention.
 After several hours of warm discussion, the motion to buy was carried by four votes, with the understanding that the matter was to be deferred until the eight chapters in Alabama of the daughters who are not attending the convention, could be heard from
 The owners of the building asked an ex- orbitant price, which is the reason of the warm opposition.
 The afternoon session was more exciting than the morning one. The election of 0 president and the adoption of new bylaws and a constitution took up the entire ses- sion. Mrs. John A. Kirkpatrick of Mont gomery was elected president on first bal lot. Mrs. G. P. Harrison rendered the dele gates a grand reception tonight, which was peculiarly appropriate, General Harri- son being the youngest brigadier general in the Confederate service.

THE SENATE

Washington, May Reconsideration of the army appropriation bill in the senate to- day developed a debate on the treatment of the volunteer soldiers sent to the Phil ippines that at times was very bitter. MT. Turner, democrat, Washington, made a very vicious attack upon the admnistra- ton because of the accommodations afford ed to volunteers on the transport returning from the Philippines. He was followed by MT. Pettigrew, who in a long speech vio- 1ently arraigned the government for not discharging the South Dakota volunteers when their time had expired.

LITTLE CHANGE
 IN SITUATION Lord Roberts Preparing to Stop
 Southern Raids. B0ERS HARRASS CONVOYS Came Near Capturing One Tuesday But Were Driven Away After a Brisk Fight-Buller Con-
 tinues to Keep Quiet
B0ERS HARRASS CONVOYS

London, May 3.-4:10 a. m.-The immedi- ate objective of Lord Roberts is to estab- fish line of British posts from one from tier of the Free State to the other, thus preventing Boer raids southward. It is essential however, that the Boers should be expelled from the rugged Thaba NChu district and be forced to retire to Ladybrand. As the result of the desultory firing Monday and Tuesday the Boers were put back few miles, but nothing definite appears to have yet been attained. The Boers continue to follow theIr harrassing ating in the neighborhood of Sannas Post, interferes with the British conveys going from Bloemfontein to Thaba N'Chu. The enemy nearly captured convoy Tuesday,
 but they were driven off after brisk fight.
 Preparations for an advance continue at
 Kimberley. Sir Alfred Miner has written to the mayor of Kimberley, assuring him that the relief of Mafeking has not ceased to occupy his attention, and that of the
 military authorities, and nothing would be left undon to raise the siege at the earl fest possible moment.
 The British garrisons along the railway have been strengthened and supplies are going forward. A mounted force has gone to Barkley, west, in consequence of the Boers having occupied Windsorton. A thousand Boers threaten the communica- tions between Boshof and Kimberley. | Malala, chief of the Taungs, has informed the British that the Boers are preparing to resist their advance at Philowani, twen- ty miles north of Warren. A correspondent at Lourenzo Marques cabled Tuesday that a large part of the investing force at Mafekng had been withdrawn.
 General Butler continues on the quiet. The Boers assert that they are delaying an attack upon him in the hope that all the horses of the British will die of horse sickness.
 According to a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph with Lord Roberts Presi- dent Kruger is again asking peace terms.
 The departure of the Boer delegates from Holland to the United States and what they have said of their purposes and hopes, draw British attention to American views of the war.
 Todays Chronicle says:
 "The men who count in the United States are not likely to accept the views which Messrs. Fisher and Vessels intend to place before them.'

 The excitement increased as the time for a vote approached MT. Grosvenor and MT. Cannon ex- changed broadsides and Mr. Burton made his final protest against the bill. He de- l clared that the house was proceeding illog- | ically and hastily. The other committee amendments were adopted, and MT. Burton offered his final amendment providing that no money should
 be expended under the terms of the bill | until the isthmian canal commission made Its report. The amendment was defeated without division. MT. Deliver of Iowa supported the bill l as an expression of the practically unani- | nous sentiment of the people of the United States.
 Mr Cannon made a final protest against the bill, pointing out that its author, Mr. Hepburn, and the last speaker, MT. Dol liver, conceded that the bill was defec- tive.
 There were calls of "vote," "vote," as
 MT. Cannon concluded.
 A substitute by MT Shackeford that the bill should not go into effect if the Hay Pauncefoote treaty was ratified was de- house.
 Mr Adamson of Georgia demanded a separate vote upon the committee amend l ment, substituting the words "provsions' l for defense in place of "fortfcations for 1 defense"
 The committee amendment was adopted | by vote of 154 to 104 MT Burton then moved to recommit the
 bill to the interstate commerce commission with instructions to report back forthwith substitute authorizing he president to se
 cure oortrol of strip of territory connect | ing the two oceans for the construction of canal and authorizing the construction of such a canal at a cost not to exceed $140, GOO, 0O0
 The motion was defeated by a vote of 52 to III.
 MT. Burton demanded the ayes and nays,
 but could not get second for his demand. The bill was then passed by vote of 225
 to 35. The announcement was received with whirlwind of applause from the
 floor and galleries. At 5:20 D. m. the house adjourned.
