THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-
FORECASTS FOR THE SENATE
 AND HOUSE.
In the Upper Body the Supply Bills Will Be Given Preference Over Other Meas
 TlreR

Washington, Feb. 2S.-It is expected that both the naval and army appropria- tion' bills will be reported to the Senate during the present week and it is intend ed to take them up for consideration as Soon as possible regardless of all other legislation and henceforth to give the SUD- ply bills right of way to the exclusion of all other matters. The army military appropriation bill has been under consid- eration by subcommittee of the military committee and will be taken up early in the week. The prospect is that the naval bill will be the first to receive consider ation. Both measures will meet opposi- tion and probably will be debated at length: The bill authorizing Joint build ing for use of the State department, the department of justice and the depart ment of commerce will be called up on Monday by Mir. Fairbanks. It is under stood that MT. German will seek to se- cure various amendments to the meas- ure.
 Tuesday will be devoted to the bill re- ulating the shipment of government sup plies and in accordance with the agree. ment reached yesterday & vote will be taken on it before adjournment that day. It Is not expected that the confir. nation of General Wood will be consid- cred during the week owing to the ab> sence of Senators Foraker and Blackburn, both of the committee on military af- fairs and both interested in the case, though on opposite sides.
 It is the general expectation that the case will receive attention next week. At the request of Mir. Beveridge next Thursday has been set aside for the con, sideration of legislation in the interest of Alaka.
 There are several bills pertaining to that territory. Mr. Beveridge however, however, will not press these bills if there are appropriation bills ready.
 The committee on privileges and cleo tions will begin it's investigation into the Shoot case on Tuesday and it is also ex- pected that the special committee appoin- ted to inquire into the charges against Senator Dietrich will proceed with its work during the week.

THRONGED TO PARKS
MONTGOMERY's FIRST SUNDAY
 OF SPRING.
Street Railways Hauled Thousands to Pickett Springs and to Oak Park-The Weather
 Was Fine.

The Spring and Summer season at Pickett Springs an Oak Park opened sud- denly and unexpectedly yesterday. With out warning to the officials of the Mont gomery Traction Company and the Mont gomery Street Railway Company great crowds in the afternoon decided to spend a part of the earliest spring days at the popular resorts.
 It is said that the Traction Company hauled over two thousand people to and from the Springs. This first and sudden rush of visitors fortelis another season of popular approval of the new resort.
 It would seem that people in all parts of the city were struck at the same time with the idea of spending a portion of the beautiful spring days in the sylvan scenes about Pickett Springs and Oak Park. The two previous days had been typical of spring. This third day was the balmlest of Spring days. Neither April nor May will afford a better ex- hibft of better spring weather.
 So warm and balmy did it appear that the day seemed almost out of season. 1t was a day well calculated to induce the denizens of the city to pine for the coun' try.
 Therewas not, however. much at Pick ett Springs or Oak Park to suggest tho arrival of Spring, beyond the beauty of the day. The springs and the grounds about them bear their winter appear ance Some of the trees were budding and a few daring leaves had appeared Along the railway track few fruit trees had burst into bloom and there were oc- casional violets in bloom In the pine straw of the wood. On the whole. however, the conclusion was forced upon the crowd, that the spring balminess of yesterday was premature.
 The Traction Company put on the extra
 cars. of the long open variety. Every car that left the city until nightfall was crowded. Court Square was, through out the afternoon usually crowded with visitors going to or returning from the Springs or Oak Park.
 It was an ideal day and Montgomerians passed through in an ideal way.

The fire proceeded without the least con- fusion and was seasoned with that humor which never deserts a Russian even in moments of terrible danger. With the ac- compartment of the whistling of shells were heard the witty remarks of the gum ners. One stoker could not help running on deck to see what was going on.
