teen annual appropriation bills for the support
of the various branches of the government are
Yet TO be acted on by Congress. Some of these
bills have passed the House and some have
passed the Senate and in conference.
There are only fifteen days of the session re-
e manning. and this would leave an appropriation
bin TO be disposed of nearly every day This
condition is unprecedented. however as
there have been many as nine of the an
nual supply measures in conference at ) o'clock
on the morning of March 4. and all have been
favorably acted on before of that day.
The Agricultural bill>has passed the House,
but has not yet been reported to the Senate
The bill for the support of the army has passed
both houses but is still in conference. The
Diplomatic and Consular bill has been agreed
upon. The District Columbia BILL which
passed the Senate yesterday, will undoubtedly
so TO conference at once. The Fortifications
bin has been reported 10 the House and is on
the calendar for action The Indian bill has
passed the House and is now in the Senate
The Legislative bill is in conference be-
tween the two houses. The Military Academy
bill has passed the House and is now being
considered by the Senate Military Committee
The Naval bill is the House calendar, and
will undoubtedly be called up next week. The
Pension bill is law The Postoffice bill has
passed the House, but has not yet been re-
ported TO the Senate. The Sundry Civil bill
passed the House to-day. The General De
hciency bill taken up by the House COM
nittee a meeting this afternoon. and will be
pushed.
The House OF Representatives to-day broke all
its previous records in the matter of passing
bills. 1t took favorable action just, 363 bills
OF these go were pension bills and the re-
nlainder matters of general legislation, not
the least il the list being the Sundry Civil APP
preparation bill. Big this record is, il cam
not compare with the record of the Senate The
method of passing pension bills in the Senate
corresponds labor saving machinery. The
clerk starts to read the titles of the bills
which are piled high before him. He reads
these titles and numbers fast as he can, and
the President pro tenn sits behind him with
calendar of the business in his hand and fol-
lows the clerk by pronouncing the formula
which passes the bill The question is on the
passage of the bill. All opposed say no. and
those in favor say aye. The ayes have it, and
The bill is passed The clerk makes his an
nouncement in loud voice, and the presiding
officer repeats his formula in low tones The
TWO working at one time reach legisa tive
results which cannot be touched by the House,
where each bill has to be read twice and passed,
the operation taking the combined effort of the
Speaker and clerks, but not simultaneously.

FLEW A QUARTER OF A MILE.
The Langley Air Ship Model at Wide
Water, Va.

Wide Water, Va, August 8.-A
partly successful experiment with the
fifteen foot Langley air ship WAS made
this morning from the house boat in
the Potomac River, off this point.
The nerodrome started we'll in a
straight line south with velocity
of seventy feet per second and few
for distance variously estimated at
from four to six hundred yards.
Some DETECTION in the wings soon
after the launching caused her to
take downward course, which she
followed rapidly, and was impelled
into the water under the full power
Of her engine. There WAS sufficient
steam generated for rapid flight Of
half or three, quarters of a mile.
Under the full pressure of this force
the machine struck the water and a
moment more had disappeared from
view. The machine was recovered.
1t was considerably damaged.
The machine was taken to the
house boat, where extensive repairs
will have to be made before another
test can be made.

THE CORONATION OF THE POPE.
Most Magnificent Rite of the Catholic
Church-The BaSilica Crowded to
Overlooking.

Rome, August 0-The ceremony
of the coronation of Pope Plus X
took place today III the Basilca Of
St. Peters, in the presence of the
princes and high dignitarles of tho
Church, diplomats and Romannobles
and with all the so]emnity and splen-
dor associated with this, the most
magnificent rite in the Roman Cath
olic Church. As Cardinal Macchi,
the dean of the Cardinal deacons,
placed the triple crown on tho head
Of the venerable Pontitf, the throng
of 10000 persons, gathered within
the Cathedral burst into unrestrained
acclamations, the choir into a hymn
of triumph, and the bells of Rome
rang out a Joy full peal
1t is fifty seven years since the
Romans and Europe assisted at such
function in ST. Peters. The great
baslllca, PoPularly supposed never
to have been quite full, WAS over
flowing with humanity. The Papul
throne, a bewildering mixture of
gold, red and silver, was erected in
front of the high altar. AS, con-
trary to custom, on these occasions,
there were no galleries, the Basilica
bore more of it's normal aspect. On
the altar, which WAS dressed IN white,
stood the famous silver gilt candle.
sticks and magnificent crucifix. All
the available standing space within
the Cathedral WAS divided INTO sec
tions by wooden barriers, which to
certain extent, kept the vast crowd
in order.

ROOSEVELT ON LYNCHING.

Of Illinois.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, August 0.-In
a letter, the publication of which was
authorized today, President Roose
welt commends Governor Durbin, of
Indiana, for the attitude he assumed
recently respecting lynching. The
President also embraces the oppor.
tunity to express his own views in
reference to lynching and mob vio-
lence, generally, pointing out that
mob violence is merely one form of
anarchy and that anarchy is the fore
runner of tyranny. The President
vigorously urges that the penalty for
that crime which most frequently in
duces resort to lynching shall be
applied swiftly and surely, but by
due process of the courts, 80 that it
may be demonstrated "hat the law
is adequate to deal with crime by
freeing it from evory vestige of
technicality and DELAY"

DEMENTED MOTHER
BEHEADS DAUHGTERS
AWFUL DEED OF NEGRO WOMAN IN
COLLETON COUNTY,.
Tried TO Burn Bodies. She Says "a Dog
Told Her the World Would Be De-
StrOyed Unless She Killed
Her Children"
The State.

The State.
Walterboro, Aug. 8 = Yesterday be-
tween II and 1 o'clock one of the
most brutal crimes ever known in this
county was committed at Church
Flat, about two miles from Ran
towles station, on the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad. Lizzie Aiken, a ne
gro woman about 40 years old, killed
two of her children by cutting their
heads off with an axe One of the
children was S years old and the
other 3. 1t is said their heads we're
severed completely from the body,
not nerve or vein or anything left
to connect them. The body of the
older child WAS cut in other places,
showing that the crazed mother met
with some resistance in killing this
one. Both children we're girls.
1t seems that an effort was made
to burn them after the bloody work
Of the axe, for fire had been kin
kled around the body of the younger
child.
The woman WAS committed to Jail
this morning by Thos. Fields, consta-
bic for Magistrate Behling, and from
what he says the woman must have
been crazy. He says she claimed
that dog came along and told her
the world would be destroyed unless
she killed them in order to save the
world. She admitted the killing to
Magistrate Behling, but now denies
it most strenuously.
