Two of the appropriation bills, name
ly the pension and the diplomatic and
consular bills have passed both Houses
and received the signature of the Presi-
dent thus becoming laws. The legis-
lative, executive and judicial bill is
ready to go to the President, the army
bill is in second conference, the Indian
and the District of Columbia bills are
both in conference with many diff
culties to adjust, the postoffice bill has
been reported to the Senate, the agri-
cultural bill and the military academy
bill have received final consideration at
the hands of the committees having
them in charge and are ready for re-
port; and the sundry civil bill is I'M
dergoing the scrutiny of the committee
on appropriations and will be reported
during the week. The naval bill, the
fertilization bill and the naval de-
ficiency bill are still in the House of
Representatives.
In order to conclude it's work on the
appropriation bills and transact other
necessary business on the day of the
final adjournment March 4, the Senate
will find it necessary regardless of the
statehood bill and the canal treaty to
hold longer sessions than ordinarily
and it is probable that during the
greater part of the time henceforth, the
daily sittings will begin at 10 or II
o'clock and that many of them will run
into the night Tomorrow sessions,
however, begin at noon.
On Saturday, considerable time will
be devoted to eulogies on deceased
members of the House.

The House enters the last full week
of the session with the decks practi-
cally cleared of everything except APP
preparation bills. Only one of these,
the general deficiency bill, which was
reported yesterday remains to be
passed. Several interesting contests
are expected during the consideration
of the questions of adjusting the diff
ferences between the two Houses on a
number of bills in conference Es-
pecially spirited would be the fight over
the proposition toaaccept a statehood
amendment If one should come to the
House as a rider on an appropriation
bill. 1t would command the solid sup
port of the Democratic side and it is
believed of enough Republicans to ac-
cept it, although it would be strongly
resisted by the Republican leaders.
The Philippine currency bill has been
set for Tuesday.
The six suspension days which I'M
der the rules precede the expiration of
each Congress will begin. Wednesday,
and by means of the parliamentary ex-
pedient of making motions under sus-
pension of the rules parliamentary knots
can be cut and a legislation expedited.

HERRICK TO LEAD TICKET.
Hanna Programme Will Be Car
ried Out in Ohio Convention.

fEfObLlC SPECIAL
Cleveland. o., April 2o.-The recent dec
laration of George B. Cox OF Cincinnati. in
favor Of the nomination OF Colonel Myron
T. Herrick. as the Republican candidate
for Governor. has practically assured Colo
mel Herrick the nomination.
No other candidate is now in the race
against him save Albert Douglas OF Chill
licothe. who says he will remain IN the
contest until the convention adjourns.
though he admits that IL Is within the pow
er OF Senator Hanna and Cox to make the
nomination. Senator Hanna desired the
nomination OF Colonel Herrick because he
believed the latter's candidacy would do
mort than anything else TO give this
CCuyahoga) county TO the Republicans with
its fourteen members OF the LEGISLATURE
Cox usually refrains from expressing pref
erence for a candidate until the convention
meets. and that is why his action now Is
important. In return for his support OF
Herrick L Is presumed that Wade Ellis Of
Cincinnati, whom ne favors. will be nomi-
mated for Attorney General. and that the
present Auditor Of State. Guilbert. for whom
Cox has expressed a preference. Will be re-
nominated Nothing now appears to stand
in the way OF carrying out the Hanna pro-
gramme.

afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning

so in the treatment of infants and chill

the most distressing of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and
beau.ifying the skin, scalp and hair.
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring 70,
