FAIR FLORENCE
STILL IN PRISON
No Foundation For Report
Of Her Pardon.
FRIENDS STILL HOPEFUL

Ambassador Choate Continues the
Efforts Made by Mr.. Hay to Secure
a Pardon For the Unfortunate
American Woman.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE state de
partment has not been advised of the
reported intention of the British gov
ernment to pardon Mrs. Florence May
brick, the American woman imprisoned
in England on a charge of poisoning
her husband. 1t is said, however, that
Mr.. Choate has lost no opportunity, at
all proper times, to work toward that
end, and it is understood that his efforts
have been particularly energetic of late.
OF course, these must be unofficial, for
1t would not be permissible for the case
to be made the subject of formal ex-
changes.
Secretary Hale, while ambassador to
England, did all that he could in Mrs.
Maybrick's behalf, and what Mr.. Ohoate
Is now doing is simply in continuation
OF that movement. 1t is hoped, however,
that he is working under much more
favorable auspices and that success is
near at hand.

GOVERNMENT FOR
The PHILIPPINES
Measure Now Under Consid-
Grafton by Senator's.
AMENDMENT TO ARMY BILL

All Military and Civil Powers Neces-
sary to Govern the Islands Shall
Be Vested In Persons to Be Named
0by the President.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE senate
committee on the Philippines today au-
thorlzed Senator Lodge to report the
Spooner amendment, introduced Fri.
day, concerning the government of the
Philippine islands as an amendment to
the army appropriation bill One slight
verbal amendment was made AS the
amendment was introduced, it proved
that all military, civil and judicial pow
ers necessary to govern the islands shall
be vested in such persons as shall be
named by the president. etc. The word
judicial was stricken out, because it
was the opinion of the committee that
all judicial functions are embraced in the
civil administration. The Democrats
made no opposition to the reporting of
the amendment. The provision will
next be considered by the committee on
military affairs

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE desk of
Representative Albert Shaw of New
York, late commander-in-chief of the
G. a. r., who died suddenly Sunday
morning of apoplexy, was draped in
black and covered with azelias and roses
when the house met today. The chap
lain in his invocation referred feelingly
to General Shaw's death. Owing to the
extreme pressure of the public business,
it was decided by the house leaders that
it would be inexpedient to adjourn i'm
mediately out of respect to his memory.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, Mr.. Paine, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, by direc-
ton of the committee, reported back
the war revenue act as amended by the
senate and moved the adoption of
resolution ''to disagree to the substitute
proposed by the senate as an amendment
thereto and ask for a conference.

Without Foundation.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE officials of the
home office say there is no foundation
for the report that Mrs. Florence Mays
brick has been pardoned.
An official of the United States en-
Dassy said to a representative of the
Associated Press that it did not need
the home office officials to prove the alb
soIute baselessness of the MAVERICK
story. He continued: "We would be
the first to be notified of any such action
or proposed action by the British gov
ernment. Not single fact has arisen
to give the slightest justification of the
story or to make the release of Mrs.
May brick more probable than hereto

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Mr. A. B.
Hepburn, Chairman American Associa-
tion of Bankers, Chase National Bank,
New York city: Am receiving a large
number of letters from banks and bank
ers throughout the country, sent in re-
sponse to request issued by your secre-
tary, demanding that the tax on bank
capital shall be entirely removed. The
house retained the entire tax and the
senate has reduced it one-half. No ,c-
ton is possible in conference except to
agree to either the house or asnate pro-
vision or adopt some compromise be-
tween the two. l hope this statement
will save the members of your associa-

passed, and Mr.. Hanna moved to take
up the shipping bill Mr.. Jones of

senate voted, 30 to IA, to consider the
bill.
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina had
expected to discuss the armor plate
question, which was before the senate
when the bill was laid aside Saturday.
he said he desired to present evidence
which would show the bad faith with
which the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies had treated the government.
The companies had said prositively they
were unable to make Krupp armor for
less than $545 per ton, yet they had en-
tered into contract for an armor at q
lower price. He would be satisfied, he
said, if the chairman of the naval affairs
committee (Mr. Hale) would corrobo-
rate what he said
Mr.. Hale replied that there was no
question about the accuracy of Mr..
Tillman' s statement.
Mr.. Pettigrew said that when a mem
Der of one of the armor concerns was
before the appropriations committee he
admitted that the Carnegie and Beth
lehem companies had an agreement to
bid the same sum for the armor.
