Two Appropriation Bills Are Passed
by That Deliberate Body
To-day.
A Motion to Take Up the Littlefeld
Bill Is Defeated by a Vote Of
SO to %.
A Stormy Session in the House With
the Democrats Prepared to
Filibuster.

Washington, Feb. 27.-At the opening Of
the session Of the senate to-day Mr.
Blackburn Qky.) announced that he would
object to all requests for una ninous con-
sent until the senate shall have an oppor-
tunity to say whether or not it wants to
consider the Littlefield antitrust bill.
The naval appropriation bill was taken
up. An amendment by Mr.. Nelson
(Minn.) was agreed to providing that re-
tired officers ordered to active duty shall
have the rank, pay and allowances OF
active officers of like length Of service and
If actively employed for three years after
retirement shall, when deta ched from
duty, retain the rank and highest retired
pay of the rank they then hold. and pros
viding that the rank and pay of any Off
Ger of the retired list shall not be re-
duced. After other amendments the bill
was passed.
The military academy appropriation bill
was then taken up. An amendment pro-
viding for the appointment of a cadet from
Porto Rico by the president was agreed to
and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Blackburn moved to take up the
Littlefield antitrust bill.
Mr. Quay said that if the vote came up
on the bill direct, he would ask to be ex-
cused as he owned stocks in some of the
so-called trusts affected by the bill, but
he reserved the right to vote upon taking
1t up.
Mr.. Blackburn's motion was defeated,
% to 38, a party vote. with the. exception
of Mr.. McComas and Mr.. Wellington Of
Maryland, and Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota.

via and Bulgaria are increased rather than
relaxed. Since the sultan's unconditional
acceptance of the proposals for the reform,
Russian pressure has been steadily ap-
piled to Bulgaria, and the government
also warned that nothing must be done to
encourage Macedonian uprising.
It is reported that Austrian officers are
already employed in secret service on the
Servian and Bulgarian frontiers and are
watching the situation closely. Many cor
respondents have been passed through
Vienna and Belgrade to Nisch and Sofia,
which are the chief centers of news. The
district between Nisch and Salonica is in
a state Of suppressed excitement, but the
correspondents are allowed to ride
through it to watch the first preparations
for carrying out the proposed reforms.
Optimism prevails in official circles in
Vienna and st. Petersburg, but the en-
ergy with which the Balkan states are
kept under rigorous restraint implies ap-
prehension of a coming storm. There are
no signs that the reforms have excited en-
thusiasm either in Macedonia or Bulgaria
Public opinion in Bulgaria unanimously
condemns the proposed reforms for Mace
donia as entirely inadequate. The Mace
domains themselves declare they will not
accept the reforms, which, even If much
more extensive, would require European
control to insure their being carried out.
The extremist newspapers denounce the
project as international synicism and
maintain that a Macedonian uprising is
now all the more certain. They declare
| that the Macedonians should break with
| Austria and Russia and seek the support
of other powers.

Burbank Block at Lowell, Mass,
Destroyed-Rumors Of Loss
Of Life.

Lowell, Mass. Feb. 27.-One person and
possibly others lost their lives in a IRE
which broke out in the Burbank block
here early to-day. The building was used
for business, lodging houses and social
purposes, the street floor containing
lodging rooms and the top floor a dance
hall. There were seventy five dodgers
in the house when the fire broke out.
Reports that lives had been lost were
circulated and contradicted, but when
a search of the ruins was made the body
Of Mrs. Sarah F. Kittredge, correspond
emit of the Ladies Home Journal and the
the Saturday Evening Post of Philadel-
phia, and other periodicals. was found.
Later it was reported that four other
persons were missing and search of the
ruins was continued. There were num-
Der of narrow escapes and several per-
sons sustained burns and other injuries
The total financial damage is estimated
at $125,00O partly covered by insurance.
The fire threatened the Belvidere hotel,
which adjoins the Burbank block, but a
heavy fire wall proved an effective bar
rier.
The scenes which attended the fire were
Of the most exciting character. The flames
were discovered at 3 o'clock. 1t was
known that about seventy-five persons oc-
cupied the lodgings in the block and were
asleep in their rooms on the second, third
and fourth stories. and adjoining the
building was the Hotel Belvidere, witt
large number of guests. Although the
most vigorous methods were used tt
arouse the inmates of the Burbank build
| ing, only those on the lower floor got ou
| by the doors and stairways. The other:
were forced to the windows, out of which
they leaned and shrieked for help unit
they were rescued by the fremen. It is
! feared, however, that a number of occu.
pants of the rear rooms have persisted.

SENATOR. SHOOTS WIVES
Mary Jones and Amelia Greenwood
Are Charged With Having
Married Him. ~
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Salt Lake City, Utah. Feb. 2z-Two
cases of alleged polygamy against Apos-
tie and Senator elect Reed Smoot are be-
ing worked up. 1t is not known here to
which of these Rev. J. L. Leilich has ref
erence in his affidavit presented to the
senate committee on privileges and cleo
tions but it may be both.
One of the women whose name is con-
nected with the case is Mary Jones',
daughter of S. s. Jones former mayor Of
Provo and the other is Miss Amelia
Greenwood of American Fork, Utah.
For months detectives have been at
work trying to collect evidence to show
that Smoot was married to these two
women. The results of those investfga-
lions have ben kept secret by the per-
sons working the case, because 1t has
been understood that the testimony SO far
obtained has not been sufficient to secure
a conviction in court on g.. polygamy
charge. One reason for this is the fact
that all marriage records in the Mormon
church are kept from the eyes Of the pubs
lie and positive written evidence is there
fore extremely difficult to obtain.
The investigators now. however, are
convinced that Smoot has taken at least
one plural wife, whether they can prove
it or not Both women in question are
under 80 years of age. Both marriages
in question are said to have been cele-
brated within the last seven years.
It is alleged that the wedding with Miss
Greenwood took place in the temple at
Manti, Utah, in 1896 She maintained
her residence in American Fork and 1t is
alleged that Smoot supported her there
and visited her frequently. This MRS.
Smoot is now in Chihuahua, Mexico. She
was sent there little over two years ago
about the time that Smoot first began to
seek a seat in the United States senate

LEAVES FOR THE SOUTH
Governor Cummins to Spend a Week
at Palm Beach.

special TO Inc journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 27.-A message
received last evening from Governor Cum
minis is to the effect that he has left
Washington and gone to Jacksonville. He
and Mrs. Cummirs will remain in Florida
for a week or ten days and will visit
Palm Beach and other points of interest. z
It is believed here that one of the re-
suits of the governors trip to Washing
ton and his visit with Roosevelt will be
a visit to Des Moines on the part of the
president when he comes west to attend
the dedication at st. Louis April 80 In
case the president comes he will have a
reception here on the scale planned last
fall when Des Moines was included in
the itinerary, which he was compelled to
abandon on account of his injured knee.
Announcement is made that a rate of
one fare for the round trip from all parts
of Iowa has been secured for the state
