Stage-Forecast For the Week In
House and Senate.

wilt meet at II o'clock each day dur
ing the present week up to and in
Guiding Thursday, in order to permit
ample opportunity for discussion Of
the isthmian canal bill prior to voting
on the Till and amendments on

The four days preceding the vote
will be crowded with speeches on the
bill, the announcements made of in
tended remarks being unusually
numerous Senator Kittredge will

Tuesday by Senator Hanna. During
the week Senators Foster, of Louisi-
ana. and Pettus will make addresses
ir favor of the Nicaragua route, and
on Thursday Senator Morgan will
| close the debate in the interest of
Nicaragua. The supporters of the
Panama route express great conf
dene in the success of the Spooner
bill.
Other Bills Which May Come Up.
Other measures which may be con.
| sidered during the week, if opportun-
| ity permits, are the London dock
| charge bill and the pure food bill.
There will be a strong effort made
to have the Cuban reciprocity bill in
readiness to be made the unfinished
business when the canal bill shall
have been disposed of. 1t is expected
that the Cuban committee will be
prepared to report Wednesday or
| Thursday.

deficiency bill CT the entire list of ap-
preparation bills remains to be acted

disposed of the last of the supply
bills on the calendar, and as the house
has the deficiency bill before it there
Is comparatively little to do in the
way Of getting the appropriation bills
through. The naval bill, the army

nounced intention of standing by any
agreement satisfactory to his manager
James J. Jeffries, the heavyweight cham
pion, was practically matched today to
fight Bob Fitzsimmons before the
Yosemite Athletic club, of San Francisco,
The division of the money will be one
third for each man and the other third
for the club, win, lose or draw. Jeffries
on Monday held out for a 70 and % per
cent division of the purse. Articles may
be signed tomorrow
After much argument Jeffries said that
anything that would be acceptable to
Delaney would suit him. The clubs rep
resentative thereupon telegraphed the
champions manager, Billy Delaney, who
replied, telling Jeffries to accept the terms
offered him by the Yosemite club, one
third to each, principals and club.
Delaney's wire also added that the
offer of the club was a fair one. and that
there was lot of money in such battle.
He also advised Jeffries to sign the ar
ticles at once, claiming that he will draw
twice, as much money with Fitzsimmons
as with anyone else
In his parley Jeffries said he fancied
that his match with Sharkey would have
attracted a $4,000 gate He further stat
ed that probably $4,000 or $4,000 would
be the sum to divide in case of a battle

Spain Feared Submission of the
Facts in the Case to Any Popu-

Representative.
SYMPATHY, BUT NO SUPPORT

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Associated
Press has been put in possession of dis
patches which have never before been
published and which are unquestionab1y
authentic. They comprise the circular
telegram of the Spanish government to
her representatives at several of the
European courts and excerpts from the
replies:
The minister of state, to his majesty s
representatives abroad: Circular tele-
gram. Madrid, March %, 1SyS-The

the United States government that on

gress without previously communicating
the same to us or having the Spanish re-

HART TELLS OF PLANS
BOSS OF THE REMNANTS INTENDS
TO HAVE GOOD TIME.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-James A. Hart, the
official head of the Chicago National
league club, shattered the silence of the
last two months and gave an outline Of
his plans for the spring training season
of the reconstructed remnants " In a
few tersely worded sentences he gave
an outline of his plans for the spring
campaign. His new manager, Frank Sc
lee, is due in Chicago Friday, or at the
very latest on Saturday. When Selee
lands here Mr.. Hart will turn over to
him the names of thirty or more ball
tossers who have already signed Chicago
contracts. Then Selee will take this list
of names down to Hot Springs, Ark,
and ponder over it.
On his return from the springs these
thirty young men will report to Selee,
who will take the bunch out to Cham
paign and try them out Two tea ms
will be made up out of the big list of
candidates, and while one bunch is play
ing the collegians on the grounds in
Champaign the other group will be barn
storming in the adjoining towns.
In this way Selee will be given an
opportunity to get true line on every
man who has been signed If their hopes
are realized, Hart and Selee will thus
find it comparatively easy to separate
the chaf from the wheat and gain fair
~ accurate idea of how many real ball
players of class and quality they can
call their own. Then the regular team
will be made up of the pick of the lot.
At the same time they stand a fair
chance of making the expenses of the
spring training out of the exhibition
games, for a majority of these contests
will be decided on Sundays and Satlr-
days.

CAUCUS RULE
MUST PREVAIL
ALTERATION OF TARIFF MUST
WATT ON PASSAGE OF THE
BILL TO REPEAL WAR
REVENUE TAXES,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The pro-
pramme for considering the war revenue
act was the basis for numerous confer
ences among house leaders today and an
informal canvass of sentiment was made
to learn whether members, particularly
those of the majority, would favor a spe-
c1al rule bringing the bill to vote with
out an amendment. The purpose of such
a rule would be to avoid an amendment
similar to that of Representative Bah
cocks in the ways and means com
mlttee, reducing the rates in the iron and
steel schedule or amendments of the
minority In the line of general tariff re-
vision. 1t is stated that the result of the
canvass has shown a majority of the
house favorable to such a special rule
In making the canvass the view has
been presented to Republican members
that tariff revisions such as those pro
posed by Mr.. Babcock, might be left for,
determination Of a Republican cancI1s
subject to the passage of the war rev
enue reduction bill Those fully advised
as to the canvass. say it has shown q
sentiment favorable to the caucus con-
stderation of all tariff legislation Tins
leaving the war revenue bill to be passed
as reported.

HOHENzOLLERN IN LUCK
HAS HAD FINE VOYAGE TO ST.
THOMAS
Reaches Danish West Indian Islands
in Fine Shape, and After Touch
ing at Bermuda viii Sail Di-
rect for New York.

ST. THOMAS, D. w. L, Feb 5-The
German imperial yacht HohenzolIern
(Which left Kiel Jan. Is and touched at
Gibraltar Jan. 23) arrived here this morn
ing
Admiral Count Won Baudissin her com
mander, said that the Hohenzollern had
an unusually fine voyage through the
North sea over the Bay of Biscay, and
the Atlantic, and that no incident Of i'm
portance occurred during the trip. The
HohenZollern will coal here Thursday and
will leave next Saturday for Bermuda,
where she expects to arrive after a run
OF about two and one-half days At
Bermuda the yacht will coal and remain
one day and half She will then leave
for New York and hoRes to make the
run from Bermuda to that point in forty
hours.
Admiral Won Baudissin explained that
the roundabout course taken by the Ho-
henzollern followed Emperor William. s
orders concerning the care of the yachr.
The emperor desired that she arrive at
New York in good order. The admiral
expressed pleasure al his approaching
visit to the United States.
The Hohenzollern is magnificent boat
Her rooms are beautifully furnished and
decorated with quantities Of pictures,
photographs and sketches collected dur
ing the tours made by Emperor William
1t appears that the HohenzolIern nev-
er fires salutes, but when the admiral
landed he was saluted by the shore bat
terry. The governor visited the admiral
on board the HOhenzollern this after
noon.
The report that Prince William Eitel
Frederick is on board the HohenzoIIern Is
untrue.

THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT
stage AND MANAGER OF ILLINOIS
TEAM SIGN PACT.

CHICAGO. Feb. 5.-Coach Stagg entered
into three-year agreement with Man
ager George Huff, of the University of
Illinois, yesterday whereby the Illinois
football team will come to Marshall Field
on the last Saturday of each October to
meet the maroons. The next game will be
played on Oct. %.
In making this latest agreement Coach
Stage has followed out the plan on which
he has been working during the last few
years of bringing almost all his important
games to Chicago. The fact that no
games are arranged with Illinois at
Champaign shows that the maroon man
ager Is anxious to keep close to Marshall
Field. The recent experience with Michi
gan has, moreover, made Stagg keenly
alive to the beauties OF contracts ex-
tending over more than one year.
With the arrangements for three of tho
big football games of next season com
plete the students of the University Of
Chicago feel that all that is needed for a.
well-rounded schedule is a game with one
of the strong Eastern teams.
