HELD UP DEMOCRATS.
Republican Committee Will Arrange
 s A Program.

"A AS6AtAAAs
 Washington. April 1.-With a demand ttat the Republicans say whether the minority party is to have an opportunity to press to conclusion several of their pet measures. the Democrats held the Senate in executive session for more than an hour today.
 The long session provoked the majority to call meeting of their steering com Inittee for tomorrow to decide on definite adjournment. program. The Republicans are agreed that Congress should adjourn Arril 2s. but they have not been ready alternably to fix that day. They have in mind some special legislation tackled on appropriation bills which the Democrats compelled last session and this year the Republican leaders have determined that appropriation bills shall be out of the way before the bridges are burned. sa
 It is not a question that such legisla- ton could be forced over the protests of the majority, but that an effort to drive such questions through would lead to de- bate and consequential delay.
 The question of an adjournment came up on an inquiry as to whether vote was to be permitted on the nomination of William D. Crum to be Collector of the Port of Charleston. It was argued that this nomination would bring a great deal of debate, and it is now certain a vote cannot be had on it at this session.
 The discussion for some time took the form of a good natured badinage and in- dicated that the Democrats are not strongly opposed to the Republican pol icy of concluding the session April B.

Russian Vessels to Prey on Commerce
 of Mikado.
 St. Petersburg. April 21.-The admiral ty, 1t is announced intends to fit out two ships purchased from Germany, which formerly were in the transatlantic ser- vice. together with a number of ships of the volunteer fleet, with rapid-fre guns and to send them to the Pacific to prey upon Japanese commerce. The admiral- ty believes that by this means 1t can pre- vent the resumption of operations by the Japanese commercial fleet and strike a hafds blow against Japans hope of main tainIns her resources for the prosecution of the war.
 1t is authoritatively stated that Rus sia has been offered, through a well known New York firm. two 7.O0a ton and two 5000 ton cruisers belonging to a South America republic but has declined to accept the offer.
 In order to harmonize the army an navy operations, Vice-Admiral Skyrdlon will stop at Liao Yang on his way to Port Arthur to confer with General Ku- repatkin The admiral and the general are warm personal, friends and both are completely independent of the Viceroy. In spite of the bad relations between Skrydloff and Alexieff. pressure Is being brought to bear to prevent the Viceroy s immediate return to the Russian capital
 All information in possession of the general staff indicates that the Japanese arc preparing to make q landing near Taku Shan. The light Japanese ships have been observed for several nights and it is believed that the disembarkation of troops has been delayed only by the bad weather which has prevented the assemb- ling of junks and other small craft on which the troops must be carried across the stretch of shallow water which ex- tends several miles from the shore. It Is believed that the Japanese will experi- ence great difficulty In debarlxing if their landing Is resisted.
 A prominent naval attache. who is fa- miliar with the coast, says battalion with rapid fire and machine guns can stand of any army corps as a warship would have to lie too far out to aid much ir protection.

THE uP-ro-DATE soNesTER.
Birds Taught to Marble Bars From
 Popular Melodies.

New York Tribune.
 The craze for change seems at last about to affect the very birds of the air No longer is the restless public satisfied with the sweet strains that nature provides as the voice of the feathered songster. The up-to-date bird must be able to warble bars from such melodies as "Hiawatha," "Bi- della" or other musical inanities that attain passing popularity A bird educated thus can be sold for ten times as much as one that merely triis its own song. so that deal CTS are striving to make their befeathered stock accomplished in singing according to the new idea of what a bird should be able to do. It Is a slow process. but 1t pays
 one of the first men in the business to see the advantages of giving his birds q musical education lives in Philadelphia. At his training establishment the education of a feathered songster may be watched from beginning to completion.
 Bullfinches are chosen for the pupils. With an ordinary fife of flute the teacher sits down beside the cages in which the birds are housed and plays the first bars of the tune that 1t is desired the birds should learn. It is usual for girl to be employed for this work. as she possesses more pa tlence than man. and the work is better suited to her temperament. It may be hours befor the bird win take the least mo- tices the player The girls must keep on playing until the little songster's atten- ttOn iB httfdGteu+ ONNF ana over the t'N bars of music are repeated with monotonous regularity. Sometimes 1t is necessary to play the same strain for days before they will show the slightest interest in the ef- forts to make them up-to-date warolers' Sooner or later however they will awaken to the fact that some song foreign to their ears Is being played nearby. At first a gentle cooking of the head in the direction of the sound will betray the awakening' ,rbua eucouraKed the teacher plays with added energy.
 The patience required for such work may be imagined when it is known that even after seeming to take interest in the flute players attempt to educate them the birds will frequently lapse into dull indifference and give no further sign for long time. There comes moment at last when the bird seems really to strike off It's apathy and hop nearer to the sound of the flute as though prompted by quickened curiosity. Soon af- ter that 1t will remain stilL it's senses seem inEly concentrated on the song. Thea it
