TWO HOUSES ARE AT WAR
Cuban Bill Will Be Freely De-
 bated in Senate.
Next Week the Representatives Will Get Down to Business as in Regular Session-Mr. Gull
 lom's Statement.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building.

Washington, Nov. D.
 Members of the House who have gone home assuming that Congress would ao- journ this week or that the House would do nothing, have been somewhat precip itate. Out of the confusion of ideas and misunderstanding of the purpose of the controlling spirits of Senate and House. at this hour the situation is clear or all clouds and is fixed in this shape.
 The House will get down to business next week as in regular session. The standing committees will be announced and the House will proceed with an eff fort to exemplify the contention of many of it's members that it is the only pusi- ness branch of Congress really responsi- bIe to the demands of the country. This is in line with the administration's pol icy to have Congress get done with it's duties as soon as possible before the presidential campaign opens.
 As for the Senate, it will do as 1t originally planned to do. That was made plain by the announcement to-day on the floor of the Senate by Senator Cullom, chairman of the Foreign Relations Com mittee to which the Cuban reciprocity bill was referred. It was simple state ment as the bill was laid before the Senate. that senators might discuss 1t to-day or any day during the session. There was not the slightest murmur of objection to this fiinging wide the door of debate in the Senate by senator who Is known to be void of infatuation for the Roosevelt administration.
 The extra session will thus expire with out doing the thing for which 1t was called Senators and representatives are now exchanging pickwick epithets In vin- dieation of their respective houses. The war between the two houses Is on and the chief sufferer Is the administration.

RUSSIA'S HEAVY EXPENDITURES
Railroads and the Navy Come in for
Large Amounts.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg yesterday
says: The budget estimate for 1903 places
the ordinary revenue at $94S, SIG, 339, the or
binary expenditure at $40 202, 614, the sur
plus at $S,313. 724, and the extra ordinary
expenditure at S95, G31, 121. The latter item
will be met by the foregoing surplus, the ex-
traordinary revenue Of 81 ,25O, COO and the
treasury reserve of $780, 1897. Among the
extraordinary expenditures is $40 4eO 511 for
the building of the Siberian railway and
$72597 ,29O for the building of other rail-
ways.
In an official statement accompanying the
budget Finance Minister Witte says he can
give this year for the first time in long
period assurance that the general conditions
Of Russian economy show evident signs
of changes for the better. Among these may
be mentioned the harvest for 1902, when
the highest yield Of grain in ten years was
obtained.
ceeded the value of the imports by $780,
100000, and was greater than in any year
during the past decade.
The estimates provide for enormous in
creases in the expenditures on account of
the navy, railways and shipbuilding over
1902. Among the other points brought out
in Minister Whites speech was that the
official rate Of discount was AZ per cent
Aoot SehA, as Solupdl GU " . per cent III 1885,
Minister White said also he felt in duty
bound to discuss the demands which re-
peatedly reached the cZar for a reduction
in or the abolition of certain taxes and his
regrettable inability to satisfy the pressing
demands for increased appropriations for
educational and similar purposes.
FROM an economic and humanitarian
viewpoint" said Minister White, ut Is to
be regretted that mankind is not yet i'm
bued with the high ideals of universal
peace. 1t must be acknowledged that we
are in the grip Of an iron law which de-
crees that the requirements Of culture may
be satisfied only from what remains after
the expenditures for the defense of the
country"
Minister Whites attitude in the matter
Of the sso-American dispute regarding
sugar bounties has not been changed by
the decision of the United States Supreme
Court of January that the money paid
by the Russian government on sugar ex-
ported is bounty. Inquiries made by the
correspondent Of the Associated Press on
this subject have been answered by refer

Laurel and Vicinity.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Nd, January IA, 1903.
Signboards have been prepared, by order
of the mayor and town council OF Laurel,
to designate the streets Of the town crossed
by the Laurel and Berwyn electric rail-
road. 1t is thought that the markers will
be put in place in the very near future on
the streets where the need exists. The
matter of thus marking the streets, by con-
spicuously placed signboards, was brought
to the attention Of the mayor and town
council at former meeting of the board OF
trade of Laurel 1t was then stated that
the reason streets were not called out on
the approach of the cars was due to the
fact that the run was very often made by
conductors unfamiliar with the town, and
who had not made the trip before. The
matter Of having the signboards prepared
was suggested as a remedy to familiarize
strangers with that portion of the town:
At recent meeting of the Mems Club OF
Laurel held in the rooms of the aSsocia-
ton on Main street, the officers for the en-
suing year were elected, the balloting re-
sulting as follows: Mr.. James P. Curley,
president; Mr.. Philip H. Israel, first vice
president: Mr. Owen Selby, second vice
Mr.. Joshua Wheeler, treasurer. A board OF
governors, consisting Of Messrs. James P.
Curley. chairman; Harry Phelps, Joshua
Wheeler. F. c. Dezendorf w. w. Cron-
miller, owen selby and P. H. Israel, was
also chosen. AT the close of the business
of the evening those present enjoyed ban
quet served in the hall.
Installation ceremonies will be held by
Laurel Tent, No. Z, Knights Of the Macca-
bees of the World, in the hall Of the order
in the west end of the town tomorrow
evening, when the new officers Of the or
ganization, elected at a meeting of the
body held recently, will be inducted into
office. Following the installation cere-
monies a banquet will be served In the
lower hall.

suLrAN's FORCES DEFEATED.
Serious Conditions in Morocco = Eu
ropes Peace is Endangered.

A dispatch from Madrid yesterday says:
Fighting is proceeding between the troops
of the Sultan of Morocco and the forces OF
the pretender to the throne. The followers
of the pretender are said to be overcoming
the imperial troops.
The inhabitants of Fee have risen against
the sultan and anxiety reigns at RAJ
bat, where the Europeans are in fear Of an
immediate attack by the pretender's forces.
The sultan's representative at Tangi er
has been ordered to seize cattle and to dis
patch reinforcements to the sultan.
A dispatch from Vienna yesterday says:
The Allegemeine Zeitung, which is well In
formed on political matters, expresses ap-
prehension of a collision between British
and French interests in Morocco. The pa
per says that after the Spanish-Amer1can
arrangement to take common military and
political action in Morocco, and secured
Italy's neutrality by promising her free
hand in Tripoli.

the balance of power in Africa by Great
Britain's conquest in the Transvaal," says
the Allegemeine Zeitung. "sees an oppor-
tunity for revenge and the restoration of
the balance Of power in Morocco. In this
connection Great Britain appears to be iso-
lated unless she obtains the support of
Germany, whose attitude is unknown"

Of Fee He says the sultan has been de-
feated and that he escaped to the west
ward. War Minister Menebbi, one of the
sutan's strongest pillars, was killed. All
the consuls, excepting the British repre-
sentative have left Fee.
Fighting among the tribes is also pro-
ceeding near enough to Tangier for the
sound of shooting to be heard in the city.
The population of Tangier is alarmed, and
is asking for the protection of warships A
local pasha took out force to restore or
der, but he found it impossible to proceed,
and has returned to Tangier.
The latest advices received in London
from Fee say that with the exception of
the members of the staff of Gen. Sir Harry
MacLean, commander of the sultans body
guard, the British residents, including the
women missionaries, left Fee January 3,
and have since arrived at the coast.

Former Land Agent Indicted.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., yesterday
says: @. r. Lesser, formerly United
States land agent appointed to Investigate
alleged fraudulent land entries; was indicted
today by the federal grand jury on a charge
of presenting false claims to the government
in the shape of expense accounts.
The indictment, however is in connection
with the recent investigation by Col. Mosby
of lands entered by soldiers widows, which
were at once leased to cattle owners and
fenced in by them. 1t is alleged that SOL
diers' widows from several states were
brought into Nebraska by interested par
ties, where they made homestead entries,
being told that 1t was not necessary for
them actually to reside on them. These
lands were at once leased to or purchased
by cattlemen.

complications by allowing unlimited trade
credit to bankrupt and INSCRIPTIONS re-
public like Venezuela and then trying to
collect bad debts by coercion. l personally
