Senate Will RECORD Wishes on Philip.

Washington, Feb. 23.-In accordance
with thea greement heretofore reached
the Senate will begin voting at 4 o'clock,
tomorrow. on the Philippine tariff bill.
to that hour will be devoted to brief
speeches for and against the bill, the
time to be divided between the support
erS and the opponents of the bill. The
opinion has been advanced that yester-
days episode between Senators Tillman
and McLaurin might have the effect of
causing a postponement of the time for
taking the vote, in order to permit SEN
ators to speak who have desired to do so.
but there is no probability of any change
of program. The Senate regards a unan-
imous consent agreement as very sacred
and never allows anything to interfere
with them.
According to the present program
Prince Henry will be a witness of part
of the ceremony of taking the vote on
the Philippine bill and he will be allowed
to observe it either from the floor of the
Senate or from the gallery, as he may
prefer. Probably all the members OF the
Senate will be presented to him, but Ii IL

The irrigation bin now holds the place

the Philippine bill is out of the way.
There is, however. some Impotence on
the part of the friends of the ship sub
and if the Irrigation bill should consume
a great deal of time there may be an
effort to displace it. All will depend on
the action of the Republican steering

POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION
OF Florence Burns As Woman With !
Murdered Walter Brooks.

New York, Feb. 23.-Conductor Ar
thur Weibels of the Brighton Beach
railroad, at the arraignment, Saturday
afternoon, of Florence Burns, before
Justice Meyer, in special sessions,
charged with the murder of her sweet
heart, Walter s. Brooks, identified her
as having been on board his train at
Ills last Friday night, only short
time before Brooks was found in bed
in d room at the Glen Island hotel with
a bullet wound in his head and the gas
turned on.
Florence Burns said after her arrest
that she had parted with Brooks after
meeting him at his office and that she
was at her home by s in the evening.
Later the bellboy at the Glen Island
hotel identified her as the woman who
accompanied Brooks to the hotel that
night.
Arthur Weibels was put upon the
stand when the court resumed it's ses-
sions. This was something of sur
prise, but was no doubt the outcome
of a meeting between Mr.. Backus and
the district attorney during recess. Mr..
Jerome personally examined the wit
ness. He was very solemn. The court
room was very still. The girl gazed
at Weibels with wide-open, staring
eyes and face as pale as a lily. Yet
she did not waver and did not falter,
staring straight at Weibels' eyes.
Mr.. Jerome asked the witness the
usual questions concerning his occupa-
ton and address; then he proceeded:
This defendant is charged with a
~
is important to her that no mistake
should be made. 1t is also important
to the people that no mistake should
be made. Nothing must influence you
for her and nothing must influence you
against her. The question of her iden-
tity is important. Now look on this
defendant, Florence Burns, and say if
you ever saw her before"
Il have seen her." said Weibels,
clearly and distinctly.
when did you last see her?'
"On my train out from the bridge at
Ills on Friday night, Feb. IA
Where did she leave the train?'
AT Beverly road and Avenue B."
He stated that he had seen her at
different times, but didn't know her
personally.
After examining two witnesses,
George Washington, the colored bell
boy at the Glen Island hotel, was called
to the stand.
He testified to having shown a wo-
man and man to room about 9 on the
night of Friday. Feb. IA. The woman
had a veil over her face, but raised it
at the top of the stairs and he got a
look at her face. The prisoner, he said,
was the woman in question. He was
positive, he said, that his identification
was correct.
The case was adjourned until o'clock
Monday afternoon.

of them the steamer proceeded without

Both Tfllman and McLaurin agreed 20

Senators Tillman and McLaurin apollo
gized to the Senate.
The topic of chief interest in
senatorial circles, today, and, in
fact everywhere in official Washing
ton, was the fight in the Senate.
yesterday, between Senators Tillman
and McLaurin of South Carolina.
There has been a number of con-
ferences among senators as to what
should be done to preserve the dignity
of the Senate and to manifest its sem
timents with reference to the two sena-
tors who violated it's traditions. While
no plan of procedure has been agreed
upon, it is learned that there will be
very deliberate action and it is said
to be more than likely that it will be
not less than 30 days before the South
Carolina senators will be restored to
heir full powers as senators. this de-
Iteration on their case being in the
nature of a punishment, since they
will not be allowed to address the
Senate or vote until no longer in con-
empt of the Senate.

committee on privileges and elections,

wo before the committee will meet

t by the Senate.
1t is understood the conferences
lmong senators have shown the ex-
stence of considerable sentiment
hat the apologies made by the South
Carolina senators are not deemed suf-
icient and that the committee will re-
luire other and more ample apologies
be submitted to it in writing, with
he assurance that such apologies will
De made to the Senate before a report
will be made to the effect that the
senator's have sufficiently purged
themselves of the contempt of which
he Senate has adjudged them guilty.
The whole matter, as stated in the
senate debate, yesterday, is without
,recedent and the Senate is now to
make a precedent in the matter of
punishment and in requiring sufficient
tpology. The conferences, today, de-
eloped the fact that the senators re-
ard the matter with all the serious
Tess with which they dealt with it,
yesterday, and that they intend to take
such action as will prevent, if possible,
similar episodes in the future.

that no road in the country has

than the magnificent G. & o. trunk
line that passes through our town.
In Cincinnati we mad only about
two hours to wait until a fast
scheduled train left the union station
over that splendidly equipped line,
the B. IL Q. S-W., for ST. Louis,
which found us on board, with
several delegates from this mountain
and mineral State We arrived in
ST. Louis the next morning in time
for breakfast an1 shall never regret
having chosen the b. 81 o. S-W. as
the road on which to travel between
the cities above named. It's service
is not surpassed by any line in the
country through which it passes.
On Monday evening at 8:O5 we
left st. Louis on special train of
Pullman sleepers, via the Mo. Pa
cific, or Iron Mountain Route, there
being about three hundred and fifty
delegates on the train, fifty or more
having gone before or having reached
the Springs from the South. The
Iron Mountain Route has solid
trains running from ST. Louis with

Mississippi river for several miles
below st. Louis, thence it plunges
into the Ozark Mountains and
through the beautiful Arcadia Val
