WORK OF THE SENATE.
VIII Consider salary Bill I'm Morn
ing and Philippine Tariff i'm Aft


ernOon.
Washington, Feb. 2.--For the most
part the Senate will divide its time this
week between the Philippine tariff bill
and the bill increasing the salaries of
the members of the Federal judiciary.
The salary bill is in charge of Senator
Hoar, and will be considered in the
morning hour of the Senate each day
until it is disposed of, while the Phil
ippine bill, which is in the hands of
Senator Lodge, will continue to have
right Of way as the. unfinished business
after o'clock of each day. The sal
ary bill viii be the subject
only of running debate, but number
of set speeches will be made on the
other measure. Among the senators
who will be heard during the week are,
Teller. Turner, Carmack and Culber-
son. 1t is not probable that the de-
bate on the Philippine bill will be con-
cluded during the week. The friends
of the judiciary salary bill hope to
conclude it's consideration at a COM
paratively early day. They say that
Senator Stewards amendment increas-
ing the salaries Of senators and MEM
bers of Congress will be unceremoni-
ously voted down. Monday, Senator
Hale. from the Committee on Appro-
priations will report on the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill. and ask to
have 1t considered on the following
day. The amendments in this bill
providing for the entertainment OF
Prince Henry and the expenses of this
country incident to the coronation,
may lead to some discussion. but no
doubt is entertained of the final fav-
orable disposition of those items.

Tins are MeXicans and Cinnamon, very
few Americans being at work in the
mine.
Every mule in the mine was killed,
three dead ones being taken from the
debris to-day. The work of clearing
away the wreck in order to get to the
bodies is being rushed as rapidly as
possible but there is no hope that any
of the LOG men will be rescued alive.
The explosion occurred in mine No. 6,
and was occasioned by striking a gas
pocket. The mine is the property of
the Coapulia Coal Company r. M. Nc
Kenny being the superintendent. The
names of none of the victims have been
learned here. The loss to the owners
of the mine is thought to be very

Manila, Feb. 2.-Manila is intensely
interested as to what action Congress
will take concerning the Philippine ISL
ands. Ordinary local politics have been
forgotten and two parties have been
formed, the optimists and the pess-
mists. Some think life and property are
unsafe outside of the towns of the ISL

and consider life and property to be as
sured.
Criticisms Of the statement Of Civil
Governor Taft that he believed $4,000
men would be sufficient to garrison the
islands in a year are plentiful. Yet
the majority OF the business men who
are financially interested in the prov

pulse of the people. say that Gov. Gen.
Taft Is right on one condition only,
that being that Congress acts for the
benefit OF the Philippines.

Furnished Topic for Pastors.
The pastors in nearly all of the
churches in Butler took occasion to-
day to refer to the sensational capture
Friday of Mrs. Kate Soffel and John
and Ed Biddle, who died in the county
Jail last night.
Rev. Father Walsh, rector of St.
PauPs Roman Catholic Church, who
ministered to the Biddles in their dying
hours, spoke touchingly of them to the
members of his parish in both masses
this morning.
He touched briefly on their state
ments given out, and said it was for
every person to decide for themselves
as to the innocence or guilt of the men.
When seen at his residence this aft
ernoo. Father Walsh said:
Besides the statements given out by
the Bddle boys to the newspapers and
officers of Butler county, both Ed and
Jack Biddle made confessions to me.
Their confessions We're full and COM

never be revealed.
"The poor boys died like dogs, lit
orally riddled with bullets and some
one should be held responsible for in
in, Ia xUla or,
entirely helpless, tfharmed and unable
to make the slightest defense or re-
sistance."
The woman Criticised.
Rev. Samuel Cronin Welt, of St.
Marks Evangelical Lutheran Church,
criticised severely the woman, whom
he held responsible for the whole af-
fair. He said;
"The Biddles and Mrs. Soffel made a
vain flight from justice and retribution
swiftly came upon them. The blindness
and infatuation of this woman in leav-
in her beloved husband and helpless
little children for gang of desperadoes
is the worst criminal act thus far in
the history of the twentieth century"
At 6 O'clock this evening the bodies
of the Biddles were Sremoved from the
Jail to ore of the Railways OF the
sheriff's dwelling and the public was
given an opportunity of looking at the
two notorious criminals. Hundreds of
people to-day braved the worst bliz-
zard of the year for admittance, until
this evening when everybody was given
an opportunity to crafty their morbid
curiosity. Late tonight a long line of
people are standing in front of the
door, the wind and snow .stinging their
faces, waiting their turn. Noticeable
