SEMINOLE HAD HARD TRIP.

A dispatch from Gloucester. Mass. yes

with several of her plates bent from impact
with ice foes and with officers suffering
from frost bites. with provisions and drink

revenue cutter Seminole reached here to-
day. after an Intellectual attempt TO release
the Gloucester fishing feet which Is Ice
bound at Bay Of Islands, N. F.
The Seminole left. here February 4, and
from that time until yesterday her ofhcers
and men did not see the SUM- They expert
enced snow and gales and contact with fee
and freezing temperatures, and once. IN

the most severe one ever Undertaken by a
revenue Gutter, and reports the winter con-
dftions IN and around Newfoundland the
worst nfifty years. He says the fishing
vessels with remain imprisoned until hhe ice
breaks up. The Seminole by her utmost
efforts could not get nearer than one hum

The officers who were frosthftten are

REGARDED AS INEVITABLE
Senate Leaders Believe an Extra Ses-
sion VIII Be Called.


A special session Of the Senate to con-
slider the Panama canal treaty and the
Cuban reciprocity treaty is believed to De
inevitable BY the Senate leaders. UP to
this time Senator Aldrich and others have
hoped that, at the last moment, the OBJ
stacles to ratification Of these treaties
might be cleared away and that vote
might be obtained upon them before March
4. These senators today practically aban-
doned hope Of snch a consummation and
look for special session.
When the Senate was in executive session
late yesterday afternoon Senator Morgan.
in reply to questions pr0pounded by Sena-
tor Hanna and Senator Cullom, failed 70
give assurances Of his intention to bring MS
argument against the treaty to an END, ana
declined to hold, out any; encouragement OF
his consenting to AN early vote upon the
treaty. It Is certain that the Cuban reel
procity treaty WILL provoke great deal OF
debate, andnWhen the Senate Is called In
special session some time will probably be
consumed in ratifyins the latter treaty.
!, In the Senate today the Notifications, ap-
Precipitation bill was passed, the general de-
ficiency bill was reported, and will be called
up before adjournment this evening, and
the Aldrich financial bill was taken up
There is considerable democratic opposition
to the Aldrich bill, which, will result In long
debate upon that measure. Senator Aldrich
thinks however, that the opposition will
not extend to the. point Of preventing vote,
and in that case he Is assured of the pas
sage Of the bill by. the Senate, as it has
more than a majority in its favor.

ADMIRAL scHLEY IS ILL.
Resumes His Journey to California
Despite a Severe Cold.

special to the New York Times from
San Antonio, Tex, last night says: Ad-
mdral Schley, after having been confined to
his room all day under care Of two ply
sicians. at 10 o'clock tonight resumed his
journey to California. Some of his friends
advised against 1t, but the admiral was de-
termined and he was taken to the train.
bundled up as much az possible.
Admiral Schley and party reached San
Antonio from the New Orleans festivities
early this morning. All the way from
Houston yesterday afternoon and until
after midnight he Was given ovations at the
towns along the Southern Pacific railway
1t rained most of the time. and the expo
sure gave the admiral severe cold. He
was nearly Frustrated when San An
tonic was reached. and had to go into re-
tirement at once <-,tt,53
Less than half a dozen persons were adj
united to hts suite at the Menger Hotel
during, the day. Mrs. Schley. Col. A. K
Mcclure and wife OF Phiiadelphia and the
Misses Welsh and Curtain are accompany
ing the admiral to California.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Prospects Against Anything Being Ac-
complished in This Session.


Prospective financial legislation for this
session Of Congress proceeded to get woe
fully tangled up yesterday, and today this
tangle was drawn tighter. The predicted
result is that no action Of any kind will be
taken.
The Aldrich bill giving the Secretary OF
the Treasury authority to accept state,
county. municipal or other bonds as secu-
rity for government deposits was intro
duced In the House by Mr.. Payne and re-
ferred to the ways and means committee as
a revenue measure. on the ground that the
revenues would be increased from the inter-
est to be charged by the government on
these deposits
Mr.. Fowler, chairman of the banking and
currency committee, made an effectuai pro-
test to this reference and had the bill re-
called from ways and means and referred TO
his committee.
Mr.. Fowler has currency bill OF his own
pending In the House, but action on the
measure Is believed to be doomed ON &C
count Of the persistent democratic f1libuster.
A conference Of the republican members
Of this committee was held last night and
another this morning. The conclusion
reached was that the asset currency feature
of the Fowler bill should be added to the
Aldrich-Payne bill and In that form re-
ported to the House.
The weight Of opinion as to the chance
Of getting a combination bill of this char
acter through the House is that it cannot
be done.
A meeting Of the full banking and cur
rency committee will be called to pass
upon the combination bill at an early
date.

Justice Hagner, in Equity Court. No. l.,
after argument by counsel, has taken under
consideration the case Of the Bates and
Guild Company against Henry G. Payne,
Postmaster General Of the United States, a
proceeding for an Injunction to restrain the
Postmaster General from refusing to trans
NIT at the second-class rate of postage a
publication recently started in Boston,
known as Masters in Music" The COM
plainant asserts that Masters In Music is
q periodical devoted to the art and science
of music containing literature Of the art
and the scores Of musical compositions ap-
pended thereto. in Illustration and exposi-
ton Of the text
The Postmaster General refused to carry
the publication in the mails at the second
class rate, because he says 1t consists prin-
cipally of sheet music which is third-class
matter. and that the matter purporting to
be reading matter Is In substance q series
of notes illustrate Of the music and re-
late only in each number to the life and
work Of the single composer and thus con-
stitute, in effect. a book or monograph sepa-
rate and distinct from every other ISSUE.
Attorneys Holmes Conrad and William s..
Hall of Boston, Mass. argued the case for
the complainant. while Mr.. Henry H. Glas-
sic, assistant United States attorney for the
District Of Columbia. appeared for the Post
master General.

Complaints Made to Commissioners Re-
garding Condition Of Avenue.
The Commissioners have received num-
Der Of complaints within the past few days
regarding the filthy condition Of the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue at several
points between the Capitol and the treas
ury. The snow has been allowed to lie in
piles near the curb. and has collected all
manner Of filth. In reply to these COM
plants the Commissioners have forwarded
a report from the superintendent Of street
cleaning. which shows that they are with
out authority to have the snow carted
away.
1.-THE act Of March 2, 1897" says supertn-
tendent Stutler In his report, provided that
after every fall Of snow the Commissioners
should cause same to be removed from the
cross walks to width OF ten feet and
from the cutters to breadth Of one foot
and for this purpose an appropriation Of
81 900 was made Under a ruling Of the
controller Of the treasury this appropr.a-
ton could not be used to remove snow or
ice from the streets.
Every year since the passage Of the above
act the Commissioners have recommended
that the same be amended SO as to include
the removal Of snow and ice from the
streets as well as crosswalks and cutters,
and an appropriation Of 5000 asked
gress has not acted favorably there
on. The result Is that we are obliged 70 al
low the snow and ice to remain on Che
streets until disposed Of by the elements
In the cases now under consideration the
cutters were cleaned Immediately after the
recent storm, and upon investigation find
that they are clean. The snow and Ice,
however, on the street adjoining the gutter
line has not yet melted away. and 1t Is to
this that the complainants take exception
The hard rain this morning effectually
cleared up much of the dirt that had ac-
cumulated upon the streets
