''The death of the pope may be ex-
pected any day, as his holiness can only
be said to be just alive. He takes little
nourishment and is generally half un-

dozes the hours away without compre-

SUGAR A petition is being circu-
lated in the house by lead
kick" ing members of the Michi-

lions, asking members not to vote for the
Philippine tariff bill, should it be re-
turned from the senate with amend
ments granting tariff concessions to Cuban
sugar. The New England members are
signing the petition because they will not
support the bill, should it contain Cuban
tobacco concessions. Altogether, the pros
poets for house ratification are not good,
If the senate makes concessions to Cuba
for either of these commodities.

This matter was called to the attention
of Commissioner Yerkes a short time ago
and he Investigated it. He, found $4,000
claims, aggregating $3.250,000 on file and
amount to liquidate the claims. The COM
mittee on appropriations to-day decided
to include the item in the urgency de-
ficiency bill.

in committee favorable report on the
bill, nor oppose it openly on the floor when
it comes up for final passage. Whether he
will himself vote on it, or not, he is not
yet entirely clear. AS the northwest may
know, Senator Nelson has number of
important matters of state interest in the
commerce committee, and, while he does
not say so, it is evident that he would
have nothing to gain by trying to stir. up
row over the subsidy bill, even if he
were disposed to do So which is not GER
tain.

Shortly afterward the lawyer left the
