 PRESIDENT.

 to Propositions.

Washington. June 26.--During the com paratively brief time the Senate was in session today the conference report on the Isthmian Canal bill was agreed to and the general deficiency bill, the last of the bis supply measures. was passed.

He insists that if Congress should meet the present demands 1t would be called upon to meet still a greater deficit in the St. Louis Exposition. He thought it was a gross misappropriation of the public money. Senators Hale. Spooner and Teller sympathized with Mir. Bailey's views, but thought that the calamity which had befailen the people In Buffalo in the assassination of President Nc Kinley had much to dc with the dcficien- cy, and should be taken into considera- tion. Mir. Hale believed the example of these cities would he a means of stopping the mad rush of cities for eXpositions. He hoped that not again in a generation would the government extend financial aid to exposition enterprises.
 With the understanding that the pres ent appropriations were not to be con- sidered as a precedent. Mir. Bailey with drew his objection and the amendments were agreed to.
 An amendment was agreed authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the unpaid expenses incurred on account of the last illness and death of President Mckinley including compensation of physicians, $45. .0O1 provided that only such expenses shall be paid as are just and reasonable, no government employe to be paid any sum for personal or profess sion services. The bill was passed.

Railroad Officials Encouraged.

Roanoke, Va, June 25-The Norfolk and Western Railway officials are more encouraged today over the situation in the Pocahontas coal fields than they have been at any time since the strike was declared.

THE CASE OF SMITH.
Roosevelt Will Use It as Text for
 Comment on Military Matters.

Washington, June 26.-The record Of the courtmartial proceedings in the case of Major l.. w. T. Waller of the Marine Corps who was acquitted of the charge of illegally killing Filipino prisoners, was received at the War Department today. It will be considered by Secretary Root in connection with the review of the tes- timony and findings of the courtmartial in the case of Brigadier-General J. Il. Smith.
 The Waller case was closed with the approval of the action of the courtmar- lial which acquitted him. but the Smith case is still subject to the action of the President. It is generally understood that the court found that the charges against Smith were not sustained and acquitted him.
 The impression prevails that the Presi- dent will improve the opportunity to ex- nress his ideas upon the subject of con- duct of military affairs in the Philippines.

WILL NOT SEND MARINES.
Bowen Has Not Expressed Desire for
 Their Presence.

Washington. June 26.--Secretary Moody was In consultation today with Acting Secretary Hill respecting the situation in Venezuela. The matter under considera- ton was the expediency of dispatching marines from the American warships at LaGuayra to the legation at Caracas
 Minister Bowen has not eignified any desire for their presence; in fact. there is reason to believe that he apprehends that their presence would be harmful rather than beneficial So that unless the situation changes for the worse as far as Castro is concerned 1t is probable that the marines will be held ready but not dispatched to Caracas.

cotton Claims Rill Goes Over.

The Republicans in the Senate today postponed the consideration of what is known as the cotton claims bill. and thus caused that measure to go over to the short session. The bill which was in- troduced in the House by MT. Cooper of Texas and in the Senate by MT. Money of Mississippi is practically the same as those in behalf of which efforts have been made for many years past. It pro- vides for the payment of between thir- teen and fifteen million of dollars to Southerners for cotton seized by Federal authority during the Civil War.
 It had passed the House and been favorably reported to the Senate. but when Senator Money tried to get it up for consideration today the Republicans objected and 1t went over.

The Senator has already been called to confer with the President on two or three occasions. and it Is quite likely that the President will defer largely to his judg- ment and Knowledge of canal matters in the forthcoming investigation. Senator Morgan still believes that there is a chance for the Nicaraguan route, as he does not think the French company can give a clear title to the Panama canal
