THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
Devoted to PASSAGE of Bills to Which
Little Objection Was Had.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, ID. c., April 27.-The
attention of the Senate was devoted
today to consideration of reports of
conference committees set speeches,
passage of bills to which there was
little or no objection, and an eXecu-
tive session. The session began at 10
O'Clock in the morning and continued
until in the evening. Final confer
ence reports o nthe Sundry Civil, Cen
eral Deficiency, Postoffice and the
Military Academy Appropriation bills
were agreed to practically without OPP
position. Speeches were made by Mr..
Cullom on the conduct of foreign af-
fairs by Presidents Mckinley and
Roosevelt. by Mr.. Teller on the pub
lie land question, and by Mr.. McLaU-
rim on the Old age pension order and
trusts.
Mr.. McLaurin contended that the
pension order is nothing less than leg
islation by the executive branch of
the government and therefore unjus-
tified and unwarranted. Mr.. McLau-
rim said that Of the 31S trusts the
administration had proceeded against
only one. He criticized Mr.. Roose-
welt as an unsafe man FOR the Presi-
dency.
When the conference report on the
Postoffice Appropriation bill was pre-
sented Mr.. Clay and Mr.. German eX-
pressed regret that the Senate con-
ferees mad found it necessary to elm
mate the Senate provision permitting
rural free delivery carriers to take
subscriptions fo newspapers and Mr..
Simmons objected to the striking out
Of the Senate amendment providing
that the condition OF roads in any
proposed district should not be al
lowed to prevent the establishment of
rural free delivery routes.
Mr.. Frye called up and asked con-
sideration of the bill creating II mcr
chant marine commission. Mr.. Bailey
indicated a disposition to object, say
ing it was his opinion that the COM
mission would devote itself to the col
lection of data in the interest of a ship
subsidy bill but Mr.. Frye replied that
in all probability, the result would be
a recommendation of discriminating
duties. Mr.. Bailey then withdrew his
objection and the bill was passed.
Mr.. Lodge stated that he would like
to bring UP the Philippine bill pro-
| yidinc there was time. He asked Mr.
Allison what was the prospect of ad-
| journment.
Mr.. Allison stated that in so far as
appropriation bills were concerned
| there could be an adjournment tomor-
row. at understand that one impor-
| tant conference must be disposed of

Yalu. They were repulsed, but their
loss is not known.
Two gunboats steamed up the river
a Russian field battery at Amisan OPP
ened upon them, resulting in a duel
which lasted for twenty minutes. The
Russian fire was too hot and the gun
boats were forced to turn and steam
out of range.
The Japanese were facilitated in
crossing by their occupation of the is
land of Samalindo.
st. Petersburg, April 27.-6;29 p. m.
The general staff believe that one Of
the Japanese columns while attempt
ing to cross the Yalu river at Turen-
chen sustained severe loss, owing to
unexpected shelling by Russian bat
terry from the opposite bank, which
destroyed the Japanese pontoons.
The Japanese, the general staff says,
tried to cross the river at six or seven
different points and succeeded only at
one point. The staff has no further
news.
The crossing of the Yalu river by
the japanese did not impress the Rus
slams in view of the reports of the en-
suing japanese reverse. These re-
ports became more persistent at noon
and caused an all round rise in prices

THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
Within this Federal Jurisdiction are
the States of Maryland, North
Caroliua, South Carolina,
Virginia, and West
Virginia.
Especial to News and Observer

Washington, d. c., April 27.-The
nomination Of Jeter C. Pritchard, AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, to be
judge of the Fourth United States Cir
cult, was sent to the Senate TODAY bv
the President
Justice Pritehard will succeed to the
place made vacant by the death OF
Judge G. H. Simonton, of South Caro-
lima. The Fourth Circuit to which he
is appointed is composed of Virginia.
South Carolina, North Carolina, Mary
land and West Virginia.
There is no opposition to his con-
firmation by the Senate and he will
be confirmed before adjournment to-
morrow. Immediately after Judge
Pritchard'S nomination was sent in
Senator Simmons telephoned him that
he would do all in his power to secure
prompt confirmation by the Senate.
III addition to the circuit judgeship
being a more dignified position than
the position now held by Judge
Pritchard, it pays one thousand dol
lars year more. Besides, it Will al
low him to reside in North Carolina,
which he naturally prefers to do,
though he has home here that has
cost him some thirty thousand dollars
and has found his residence here Il
singularly pleasant one. On becoming
Circuit Judge he will make his home
at Asheyille.
Regarding his nomination. Judge
Pritchard today said it was not an en-
tire surprise to him as the President
had mentioned the matter to him sew
eral days ago, and that while he re-
GREETED to leave here there were some
considerations that rendered his new
appointment very desirable to him. He
added: Il am not prepared to say
that / shall leave here in the very
near future, even if my nomination
shall be confirmed at the present SeS-
sion of the Senate. Very likely l will
remain and preside in Criminal Court
No. 1 until the time arrives for taking
the usual summer recess about the
last of June"

1t is said that Judge PritcharG's Sc
lection for the circuit bench is due
largely to the prominence ne attained

in which he presided during their pro-
