fered, in it's present completely
equipped condition, to another cons

councils of the big concerns that the
Sioux Cisy plant is booked upon Ills a
most desirable property by them, for it
Is now no only the Did Silberhorn
plant, but a plant in which the 100000

It would readily find a tenant IL the

Archbishop Chapelle, in response to

Congress to Put In Overtime If Plans q.
SometArc Successful.
Washington, Feb. 6.-The senate will
continue its discussion of the ship sub
sidy bill during the first half of the
present week, with Interruptions dur
ing the morning hour each day. There
probably will be an effort to secure
night sessions on the part Of the
friends of the shipping bill, and other
strenuous efforts will be made to Sc
cure a vote upon The bill.
If it should appear probable that the
end of the discussion is still not in
sight, Senator Allison on Wednesday
Will ask the senate to take up the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia for the next fiscal year.
This approximation bill Will be debated
for several days, and when it's consid-
GRAFTON is concluded there Will be other
appropriation bills requiring attention.
The house will continue the consid-
Grafton o1 appropriation bills this
week. The postotlice appropriation bill
is not Set completed. 1t will be fol-
lowed by the consular and diplomatic
appropriation and the sundry civil
bills. which last will be reported to the
house today.
The bills to promote the efficiency of
the revenus cutter service and confer
ence reports will consume whatever
time remains.
Both branches of congress devoted
much time today to ceremonies In cele-
bration of John Marshall day.
