Senate.

.ngton, July 2.-After a session
mar d by some of the stormiest de-
bates ever heard in the American con-
gress the senate adjourned sine die
at $3.50 Tuesday afternoons During
the last hours of the session there was
a tart debate on the Philippine ques-
ton participated in by Senator's Car
mack (Tenn.), Spooner (Wis.) Culber-
son (Tex.), McComas (Md.) and Lodge
(Mass.). The conference report on
the Philippine. government bill was
adopted without very serious oppo-
sition, and then when the decks of the
senate were cleared for adjournment,
Senator Carmack called up his resolu-
ton providing for continuance Of the
investigation of the Philippine COM
mlttee and for a visit to the Philip
pines by the committee during the
present summer. This started the
trouble, and for more than an hour
battle of words was 'waged.
Senator Spooner delivered scathing
denunciation of the minority of the
Philippines committee for what he de-
clared was an attack on the American
army. Senator Carmack denied that
any attack had been made upon the
army and declared that any fool could
charge such calumny and any parrot
could be taught to repeat it. The
resolution was referred to commit
tee, thus effectually killing it.

The Adjourn tent.

The adjournment came at the end
of a 71a hours session, during which
much minor business was transacted.
In all 20 bills and resolutions were
passed. The general good-feeling in
the house had been heightened by the
victory won over the senate on the
item in the naval appropriation bill for
the building of a battleship inia gov
eminent yard. The closing hour was
occupied with a spirited debate be-
tween Mr.. Cousins Qa.) and Mr.. Rich
ardson, the democratic leader, over
the report on the investigation into
the charges made by Capt. Christmas
concerning the sale of the Danish West
Indies. Mr.. Cousins ridiculed Mr. Rich
ardson for bringing the matter to the
attention of congress. The latter de-
Tended his course.

CLOSE OF CONGRESS-.
The Session Finally Adjourns
Sine Die.
The House Becomes a Scene of En-
thusia sm-Member and Visitors
Unite in Singing Patri-
otto Airs.

Washington, July 2.-Amid a scene
of enthusiasm that has not been par
alleled since the exciting and stirring
days of the Spanish war, Speaker Hen
derson at $50 Tuesday afternoon de-
clared the house Of representatives
adjourned without day. In doing SO
he said that no house of representa-
tives since the adoption of the constr
tuition had done as much work as TINS
one The audience to which he made
his brief address was a brilliant one.
The galleries were banked to the doors
and almost two-thirds of the members
were in their seats on the floor. The
speakers appreciative words to the
members in thanking them for their
cooperation during. the session had
touched responsive chord and they
gave him a remarkable demonstration
of their friendship and goodwill. While
the cheering and applause were still
in progress the members on the floor
began singing "My Country, 'Tis of
Thee" 1t was taken up by the CORE
spondents in the press gallery over
the speakers chair and by the spec
tators in the surrounding galleries
and soon the vast hall was ringing with
the swelling chorus. Other patriotic
airs followed as the members eX-
changed farewell, '"The Star-Spangled
Banner" alternating with ''Dixie."
They Sang ''Dixie.'
The speaker came down from his ros-
trum, his appearance on the floor be-
ing greeted with For he's jolly good
fellow" and perfect rush of members
to grasp his hand. Standing in the
area in front of the clerk desk he,
too, joined in the songs and there was
a wild scene when Gen. Hooker, of
Mississippi, the old one-armed confed-
crate veteran, took his place by the
side of the speaker and together they
sang Dixie Mr.. Gambler, Mis-
sissippi democrat, jumped upon desk
and let out. yell of jubilation that
fairly shook the rafters. For almost
half an hour the jubilation continued.
All this time the spectators remained
standing in the galleries watching the
animated scene below and joining in
the singing.

WAITING TO RECEIVE PRINCE.
Elaborate Plans of the Emperor an
 Evidence of Satisfaction.

Cherbourg, March 17.-The arrange ments by Emperor William for the recep- ton of Prince Henry when the latter ar rives at Cuxhaven were communicated to the Prince after the Deutschland left Plymouth today. The Prince expressed himself as generally pleased herewith. He interprets the elaborate plans of Elm peror William as an expression of His Majesty's complete satisfaction as to the success of the Princes American trip.
 Prince Henry says he was so tired when he finally boarded the Deutschland at New York that he sept almost continual ly for forty -eight hours except for the time he appeared for his meals or to take short walks on the bridge. He says he never worked so hard in his life as when he was in the United States.
 The Prince has mentioned nothing more ant incident occurred In the United States. The great orderly and cheerful crowds. he said. had been hisi most continuous impression and would probably always be one of his m ost vivid impressions
 The reports that Prince Henry would occupy a different position in Germany In the future and live in Berlin in- stead of continuing his active sea life are unfounded.

FIGHT THEM TO LAST
 SAYS SENATOR CORMAN
Mayor Senator Thinks the Free Coun- try Will Be Amazed at the Radical
 PartIsanship of Republicans.

Washington, March H-(Special. )-The Post will tomorrow print an interview with Senator-elect German or Maryland, urging the House Democrats to oppose every step of the Republican plan to cut down southern representation.
 ''The free country will be amazed at the extreme radical par isanship displayed in the action taken to-day" says Senator German. 'It is proposed to stir up per- sonal animosities at a time when all the thoughtful men of every party recognize that the problem of the suffrage of the south must be adjusted by the people of the state where the great negro popula- ton exists. This action can only be ac- counted for in one way. The Republicans fear the defeat of their party in the Con eressional elections on the issues which they have made growing out or the Philippine question and the enormous expenditures of the government. There fore they have seen best to array the north against the south Business inter- ests will resent this wanton and unneces- sary agitation.
 If the Democrats in Congress take determined stand against the proposed re- duction there can be but one result. They will be sustained and applauded by the entire country. and will secure the defeat of this radical of radical measures.

 Washington, March 17.-There Is no longer any doubt that Pension Commis- sioner Evans will. within the next few months at the least, sever his connection with the Pension Bureau to accept from the President a position which will be a substantial promotion. but which has not yet been definitely settled.
 It is well known that MT. Evans has the entire confidence of the President and the latter will not consider the question tof his retirement until a position entirely satisfactory to the commissioner has been provided No decision has been reached concerning a successor to Mir. Evans. nor will any action be taken until the Presi- dent Is thoroughly convinced that he has found a man of the same high character and sterling worth possessed by the pres ent commissioner in so high a degree.

GETS TWO YEARS
 FOR STOPPING GAR
A YOUNG MAN THROWS A BOARD ACROSS TRACK IN FRONT OF CARS AND IS SENT TO THE PEN iTENTiARY.

Norfolk, Va, March 17.-Because he threw a large plank directly across the track in front of car during the first day of the strike, J. w. Jenkins, young maa well known here. was tried in the lower court today and sentenced to serve two years at hard labor in the state pen itentiary
 Jenkins was arrsted while the excite ment over the strike twas at it's highest. He was standing near a car track, with a board twelve feet long, twelve inches wide and three inches thick across his shoulders. As car approached he stum- bled and apparently fell in front of the car clearing the tracks but leaving the plank in such a manner that the car could not proceed.
 The plea of the defendant was that he stumbled and it was through no fault of his that the board fell across the track
 Several torpedo explosions occurred on the tracks tonight but the officers were unable to make any arrests. Strikers are returning to work thirteen of them sign- ing today. The strike breakers as the non-union men were called. are leaving the city.
 The Norfolk and Portsmouth militia five companies consisting of 25 men, are preparing to respond to an emergency call and can be on duty here within half an hour after summoned. The street railway officials tonight are guarding against cars being dynamited. The pat ronage of the road is about one-sixth of what it was before the strike started.

GREAT BLIZZARD
 COVERS NORTHWEST
WEATHER IS GENERALLY FAIR, BUT INTENSELY COLD-GANGS OF RAILROAD MEN ATTACKING HUGE MOUNTAINS OF SNOW.

St. Paul, Minn., March 1.-The great blizzard which had ragged over the Da- kotas and Manitoba since last Friday subsided last night and today the weather was generally fair. but intensely cold. the thermometer ranging from 10 to Is below zero. With the subsistence of the storm tho railroads are bending their en- ergy to again operr their lines for traffic and immense snow blows and gangs of men with pick and shovel are attacking the mountainous drifts that block the tracks. The Great Northern has suc- ceeded in opening its line as far west as Churchs Ferry. N. D., and the road is expected to be clear as far as Minot by morning. If all goes well tfiS coast train Saturday morning will get here Wednes- day.
 The Northern Pacific expects to have it's road open agaInsby tomorrow.
 Efforts are also being made to reopen the Manitoba division of both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, but it will be several days yet before traffic re- sumes it's normal movement.
 It is the general belief that not above eight or ten persons perished throughout the storm-swept region. The loss of stock is hard to estimate.
 A report from Dickinson. N. D., places the loss at from 25 to 30 per cent, while rumor places 1t in other localities at much higher figure.

Executive Council Meets to Take Up
 Augusta Trouble.

Fall River, Mass, March 17.-A meet ing of the executive council of the United Textile Workers of America has been called for next Wednesday in this city.

 M c. D. Bordens brokers were in the market late this afternoon bidding 3ss for regular goods for delivery as late as Au- gust. Manufacturers have concluded to sell freely, but the bids are being care fully considered, and the prospects for large sales at the new price are generally considered as good.
 As the textile corporations in the city had granted the ten per cent advance m wages, taking effect today, every mill but one. the Sagamore, started in full today.

ATLANTA HAS X
 NARROW ESCAPE
GELDERS HOTEL DAMAGED BY FIRE, BUT ALL GUESTS WERE RESCUED BY FIREMEN-THE FLAMES FINALLY sUeDuED.

Atlanta, March H.-Gelder's hotel was badly damaged by fire today. The flames were discovered in the basement of Ty- ner's drug store at the corner of Broad way and Marietta streets and five min utes afterwards the hotel was filled with blinding smoke. Chepicals in the base ment of the drug store and some whisky stored in next door in a saloon caught fire and added to the flames.
 The firemen after great difficulty res- cued everybody from the hotel the last nerson heinz removed was Miss Lahvohan of Jacksonville, Fla. who was i'll in bed. She was hastily carried to the Williams house near by but admission was refus- ed on the ground that the hotel did not receive invalids. She was finally cared for at another hotel. The total loss by the fire will not exceed s3o,oOo; fully in sured.

TEN THOUSAND IN
 A STUDENTS RIOT
ARMY OF RUSSIAN POLICE AND CAVALRY REQUIRED TO QUELL DISTURBANCE IN ST. PETERS. BURG-No FATALITIES.

St. Petersburg. March 1s.-A students riot here today In which over 10000 peo- pie participated, kept a small army of police and cavalry busy throughout the day. Probably 100 arrests were made, but the oppressive measures were not so strict as on the corresponding Sunday of 1901. Whiie many persons were injured no fa- talities were reported.
 The students placarded the city last night announcing that they intended to hold a grievance meeting and the au- thorities, taking the hint made extensive preparations. The crowds increased in the main thoroughfares until noon, when the cavalry officer in command of a squadron in front of the Hotel D'Europe, begged the crowu there to disperse and go home The demonstrators refused and the mounted troops began slowly clearing the streets.
 At 12:30 D. m. the students attempted to organize a procession in front of the hotel mentioned singing revolutionary songs and shouting free Russia" down with the autocracy.
 The police and cavalry then charged, but used only their cossack whip and the fiat of their swords. Many persons were hurt, but only a few were seriously injured. The fighting continued during the remainder of the afternoon. One of the most severe fights of the day was concluded only few minutes before the Czarina, in an open sleigh. passed the spot where it occurred. Carriages of the nobility and members of the imperial household were several times mixed up in the melees. The authorities made every effort to prevent bloodshed and in this they were remarkably successful considering the magnitude of the demon- stratiOn

Democrats Determined to Pre- vent Passage of Resolution
 Affecting the South
RULES COMMITTEE AGREE
 ID REPORT II ID HOUSE
Underwood and Richardson Bravely Fight the Measure In Committee and May Resort to Extreme
 Measures of Blocking.
.AsHINGToN, March 17.-The

-ASHlNGTON, March lf.-Ine HAE House committee on rules, by
 KV a divided vote on party lines, today decided to report the resolution of Representative Crumpacker of In- diana for a special committee of thir- teen members to investigate and re- port on the alleged disfranchisement of voters in some of the Southern States.
 The two Democratic members of the committee, Representatives Richard son of Tennessee and Underwood of Alabama, protested against reporting the resolution, and when it was or dered to be reported the Democratic members consulted their colleagues on the floor of the House and began con sidering the advisability of expressing their dissent by resorting to the most ex- treme devices of parliamentary procedure of the house.
 Extreme Step Not Decided On.
 That this extreme step shall be taken has not vet been decided on, as Messrs. Richardson and Underwood, after con- ferring with other Democratic members, said that action of the character contem- plated should not be taken unless there is the most complete concurrence by the minority and a resolution in advance to make a most determined contest. To this end 1t Is the snteation to submit the mat ter to a Democratic caucus, probably on Wednesday night. A caucus already has been called for that night to consider the Boer war, and in view of the general sen- timent among Democratic members 1t Is expected that unanimous consent will be given to consider this dtsfranchisement question. Otherwise another caucus will be called.
 One of the minority parliamentarians said:
 May Withhold Unanimous Consent.
 '"rho business of the House is largely done by unanimous consent the courtesy of the minority yielding a strict con- formarce to the rules Jtpt the minority has the power to withhold unanimous consent.a and to require sn6onstitutional vote under the rules on eoery question arising. Without unanimous consent, even the approval of the Journal will require roll call, and 1t will take a week to pass a bridge bill. The minority will be cautio IS in going into this agreement. and will not take such step unless as sured in advance of united following. If the step is not taken it will be only be- cause of the question of the propriety of resorting to such etEeme measures.
 It is stated that the movement on the part of the minority is directed not only against the ,Crumpacker resolution with view to contesting its adoption to the last extreme but also to other legisla- tion, So as to embarrass and harass the majority at every point The action of the committee on rules in favor of the Crumpacker resolution will not be report ed to the House for about ten days.
