THEY CUT OUT HIS CLAIM
And TiIIman Threatened TO Defeat
Unjust Bills.

Washington, March 3.-Senator Till
man caused a flutter in the Senate at
10 o'clock tonight by announcing his
intention to defeat the naval appro-
priation bill and the general deficiency
bill.
This determination was the result of
an announcement from the conference
room on the general deficiency bill to
the effect that the House conferees had
refused to accept the Senate amend
ment providing for the payment of the
South Carolina state Slain of S47,245.
The Senator had a stack of books be-
side his desk almost as high as the
desk. while on the desk reposed a VOL
ume of Byron's poems, open at The
Vision of Judgment"
1T is a just claim and must go in
Senator Tillman said, cor l will defeat
both the remaining bills and force an
extra session of both houses of Con
gress. 1 can talk until Il o'clock to-
morrow and that is all that is neces-
sary for the accomplishment Of my
pu1 pose."
The appropriation of $4,000 to pay
the claims of Confederate soldiers for
certain property destroyed is retained
in the bill

AGREED ON NAVAL BILL.
COnferees of the Two Houses Fix
Expenditures.

Washington, March 3.-The conferees
of the two houses on the naval appro-
priation bill reached an agreement at
10 O'Clock tonight. The Senate sur
rendered on the principal item of dis
agreement, the amendment relating to
the increase of the navy. The provi-
sion as agreed upon provides for three
battleships of 5000 tons displacement.
and two battleships of $4,000 tons dis
placement, and entirely eliminates the
provision for cruisers.
The matter of naval increase was the
chief matter in controversy. The
House conferees insisted on the pro-
vision in the House bill for three large
battleships and one large cruiser, while
the Senate conferees were equally In
sistent on the retention of the Senate
amendment providing for smaller war
ships. The effect of the agreement Is
that the House programme is accepted,
except that two 13,000-ton battleships
are substituted for one cruiser. 1t is
provided that the ships authorized may
be built by contract or at the navy
yards, ard shall be built at the navy
yards if it is found that combination
of ship builders exists.
The provision for an increase in the
personnel of the navy remains as the
bill passed the House.
The Senate appropriation of $780, 900
for the Charleston, S. c., navy yard,
was retained in the bill.

Long live Pope Leo" handkerchiefs
fluttered in the air, the banners of the
various societies represented were
waved, and many of those present
overcome with emotion, sobbed loudly
while others tainted from excess OF
feeling or fatigue.
Meanwhile the Pope proceeded slow
ly on what seemed a carpet of heads
absorbing the entire attention of the
vast throng.
When the Pope arrived at the throne,
the ceremony proceeded rapidly. Leav-
ing the sedia gestatoria, the Pontif
knelt and prayed, and then rose with
out assistance, donned the falda and the
new triple crown, and the celebration
of mass began. AT the moment of the
elevation of the host profound silence
fell on the assemblage, the guards pre-
scented arms, the people knelt. where it
was possible for them to do so, and
from the cupOla came the clear, thin
sounds of silver trumpets, giving the
idea of heavenly music.
The Pope then administered the papal
benediction and retired to a room for
restorauves, prepared on purpose every
time he goes to st. Peters. There adj
dressing DR.. Lapponi, his private ply

you see that after all your warn
ings the ceremony did me good. What
touching loyalty!"

When the Pope returned to the Vati-
can from the Basilica he resumed his
place on the sedia gestatoria and was
carried throughout the whole length of
the cathedral, rising erect many times
to bestow blessings. while many
| princes, cardinals, dplomatists and
| bishops bowed low, and the crowd sa-
| luted him frantcally.
When the Pontiff had departed. the
| people Immediately left St Peters but
as it was still raining heavily, there
was much difficulty and confusion in
obtaining carriages. However, in
three-quarters of an hour the piazza
was deserted.
Among the many cases brought to
| the ambulances from inside the Ba-
! silica as a result of the early crush,
only one was relatively grave. 1t was
! that of woman who, having partly

| herself.
| When the Pope returned to his apart
ments he wished to discuss the cere-
mony and give his impressions of It,

FOUGHT FOR GALLERY
OF SHIPMATES
Captain of the Maine Reports Upon
the Trouble.


the Trouble.
Washington, March 3.-In a detailed
report of the trouble with the crew
of the battleship Maine, while she
was at Newport News, Va, Capt.
Leutze of that vessel, says:
while in the dry-dock with about
$50 men on board, with but few pet
ty officers of any experience, we had
about the usual trouble experienced
with vessels in dock, especially when
such dock is situated in a private yard.
The principal cause of trouble was
the situation OF the sinks, which were
out of sight of the ship about ONE
quarter of a mile away, and behind
vessels in process of construction. AS
many sentries as could be spared were
posted and a master at arms station
ed at the sinks. The number of men
allowed ashore at any time was limit
ed as much as possible. 1t was, of
couse, an easy matter for the men to
leave the yard or to get liquor.
THE only disturbance was on Sat-
urday about $50 p. m. after the dock
had been partially flooded. On ac-
count of the heavy wind, the ship
could not be taken out. At the time
mentioned the police of this city
brought three men, for whom rewards
had been offered, to the ship. When
near the bow of the vessel these men
turned on the policemen and COM
menced a fight. This is the usual play
to the gallery of ship mates.
THE men on board commenced to
yell and shout at the police. l imme-
diately went to quarters, but the noise
had been considerably quoted by the
executive officer and the marine guard,
which had been sent forward to dis
perse the men. The trouble was over
in a few minuts.
while the marine guard was for
ward the policemen came and asked
for assistance, but before the marines
could be brought aft, the men in
question having lost their audience,
came on board quietly.
There was no further trouble. Sem
tries were posted around the ship as
a matter of precaution.
I'VE have now eighteen men absent
without leave, mostly coal passers.
One of the eighteen is a boatswain's
mate, second elias, who left the ship
after we came out of the dock.
THE proper disciplinary measures
have been taken with the men con-
cerned"

MEMPHIS STILL UNEASY.
Waters of the Mississippi Are Slow

Memphis, March 3.-There is little
change in the river situation tonight,
although the waters are still slowly
rising. The gauge tonight shows a
stage of 34.3, a foot and three tenths
above the danger line. The Weather
Bureau has given notice that it will
hold its facilities in readiness to issue
special flood warnings should the sit
uation take turn for the worse.
1t is expected that the river from
Memphis to Helena, Ark, will show
but little change in the next day or

at the end of that time the waters will
take sudden boom and that past rec
ords may be smashed and untold DAM
