Threat by Senator TiIlman That Was

ference Reports.

WASHINGTON. March 4. a. m.-An ex-
ira session of the Fifty-eighth Congress is
not probable. The Senate has disposed of
the conference reports on all the appropria-
ton bills. and the House probably will do
likewise before noon to-day
Late last night matters looked squally.
by announcing his intention to defeat the
naval appropriation bill and the general
deficiency bill. This determination was the
result of an announcement from the con-
ference room on the general deficiency bill
to the effect that the House conferees had
refused to accept the Senate amendment
providing for the payment of the South
Carolina State claims of $47245. The SEN
ator had stack of books beside his desk
almost as high as the desk, while on the
desk was volume of oyron's poems open

defeat both the remaining bills and force

gress. / can talk until II o'clock to-mor-
row, and that is all that is necessary for
the accomplishment of my purpose" FL
nally the conferees agreed. the amendment
for which Mr.. Tillman contended to pay
the claim of the State of South Carolina
being accepted by the House conferees. This
broke the deadlock.
An agreement was reached on the naval

The Senate surrendered on the principal
item of disagreement, the amendment relat-
ing to the increase of the navy. The
amendment provides for three battleships
of 5000 tons displacement and two battle
ships of 1900 tons displacement and en-
tirely eliminates the provision for cruisers
The naval increase was the chief matter in
controversy.
At 1:40 a. m. the Senate agreed to the
conference report on the naval bill, and
Mr.. Hale followed 1t up with the confer
ence report on the general deficiency bill
The provision for the Department of Com
merce and Labor inserted by the Senate
remains in the bill. The bill also contains
appropriations for public buildings and
sites as provided in the public building bill
which passed to-day. At 1:50 a. m. the
Senate agreed TO the conference report on
the deficiency bill. and at 1:52 a. m took a
recess until 10 o'clock.
The corridors of the Capitol were
thronged all night with people attracted

HIS SPLENDID WAR RECORD
PROMPT ACTION ON HIS PART SAVED
DAY AT APPOMATTOX.
Gen. Fosters Deeds of ValOr a Part Of
History - Governor Durbin's
Proclamation.


The melancholy duty devolves
upon me of announcing the death
of Gen. Robert s. Foster, quarter
master general of Indiana, which
occurred at his home in Indianap-
oils at 3:45 d. m, on Tuesday,
March 3.
General Foster was one of the
most conspicuous survivors of the
civil war. He was closely identified
with Grant, Sherman. Sheridan,
Thomas and others who achieved
immortal fame as victorious leaders
of the mighty legions of the North
marshaled under the flag of the
Union. At the beginning of the sec
tional conflict Robert S. Foster
raised a company of volunteers, and
was thereupon commissioned cap
tain by Governor Morton. His SUBJ
sequent achievements in the science
of arms were characterized by
were rewarded by well-earned pro-
motions, until he was finally brevet-
ted major general. Before he had
reached the age of thirty years he
was commander of a division, and
in all of the many notable engage
ments in which he bore conspicu-
Gus part Ii is recorded to his credit
that he never lost a battle or a skir-
mish. Going into the war almost at
its beginning. he was present at the
surrender of Lee at Appomattox,
where he shared the honors of the
victorious hosts, and was person
ally complimented by President Lin
coin.
In civil life General Foster occu-
pied many positions of public trust.
He had an unusually high sense of
honor, his integrity was never ques-
toned and he was generally be-
loved. He was a stranger to in
trigue, and, although his courage
had been tested and proved on
many fields of carnage. his great ma
ture was marked by unvarying kind
ness and gentleness.
He vas a native of Indiana and
thoroughly loyal to it's every inter-
est. He achieved distinction by the
force of merit, but, secure in all the
honors he had so worthily won. he
was so modest that he rarely made
reference to the distinguished serv-
ices he had rendered his country
during the period of the Nations
direst necessities.
AS a soldier and as a citizen he
was a model type of sturdy Amer
lean manhood. and the people of In
diana. i am sure, will mourn with
those of us who knew him best in
doing honor to his precious memory.
/. therefore, recommend that dur
ing the time his body lies in state
at the Capitol that public business
be suspended, so far as practicable.
In order that proper respect may be
paid to one who served his country
with patriotic fidelity i'm the dis
charge of every responsibility i'm
posed upon him.
