HOUSE POSITION HOPELESS
Democratic %FiIlbuster DOoms Most
Pending Legislation to Ig-

WASHINGTON, March THE democrats
of the house have decided to prosecute their
hlibuster until congress expires by limita-
tion at noon on Wednesday, and the three
remaining days, therefore, promise to be
largely rcpetitions Of the three that have
Just passed.
But II is believed there is ample tint to
get through the conference reports on the
remaining hve appropriation bills. There
is slim chance for much beyond so far as
the house is concerned.
'Twenty-seven bills with senrte amend
ments. are on the speakers table. One or
two Of these may get through, but the
great majority are doomed to die where
they are. The one bill 10 which thu rtpub-
lican leaders are particularly interested Is

probably through a special rule. to secure
action on It. although the acticn Of the
committee on banking and currency today
in reporting a new Fowler financial bill
complexities matters, Mr.. Fowler and his
friends are determined. it Is said. to push
this measure to the exclusion OF the Al
drich bill. Still the complications arising
out OF the fact this hostile committee has
jurisdiction over the subject can be over
come by q rule. II is believed that the
immigration bill. which passed the senate
yesterday in amended form, will also be
acted upon.
One OF the things which gives the repub-
lican leaders grave consideration in these
closing hours of the session is the weak
ness OF the position OF the house conferees
on the appropriation bills. With the pres
ent tieup the house conferees eAnnot 90

INDIAN CAYUSE MUST GO
Indian Ponies Around Lapwai Have Become
Infected With Scab and Manse-Ths Farmers
Have Declared War Against the Beasts.

The Indian cayuse must go is the de

the law must be carried out. The noble
Indian pony of the Nez Perce reservation
will soon be thing of the past under
the law providing for the destruction of
diseased stock in the state.

city last Saturday and consulted with
Sheriff Schuldt as to the best ways
Of destroying between $500 and 5000
Indian ponies infected with scah and
mango that roam the ranges on Tom Beal
and Lapwai creeks.
The sheriff deputized these young
men to take the matter in hand and they
will set about exterminating the pests.
A large number of fine horses have
caught the disease by exposure to these
infected bronchos.
The three or four thousand ponies left
on the reservation have been cut down
by the advent of the settler to so small
allowance OF range that they have starved
to death by the hundred during the
winter The present disease that has
broken out among them would prove
fatal to the herd that is left, if tue law
had not taken hand in their extermina-
