 Washington. April 21.-The pension bill, carrying over $1S7. OOO,OOO,and the emergency river and harbor appropria- tion bill, which carries $S,000,0O0, were passed to-day by the senate, leaving only the general deficiency and the military academy bills of the entire list of supply measures still to be considers ed by the senate.
 The house bill increasing the size of homestead entries in western Nebraska to $40 acres also received favorable consideration
 While the river and harbor measure sharply criticized the failure to bring in a general river and harbor bill. Speech es were made on the pension bill by Messrs. McCunber and Scott, the latter declaring that he favored a service pen sion of $25 per month.
 Washington, April 21.-The house to- day gave evidence of approaching ad- journment by passing a large number of bills, among them being one to pro vide temporary government for the Panama canal zone.
 A rule was adopted, after the demo- crats had forced roll call for the con- sideration at any time of the bill creat- ing commission to investigate the merchant marine of the United States, and then bill was then laid aside.

AGED WOMAN 4STOWAWAY
Il Physical Ureck, She Comes Here
an Search of Nephe7C.

A woman stowaway IS rare on the transat-
lantic liners. but one was discovered on La
Lorraine. which arrived here last Saturday.
The woman was sixty-f1ve years old and de-
crepit According to the officers of the steam
ship, she boarded La Lorraine at Havre. and
hiding herself in the steerage, was not dscov-
cred until the steamship was day out on her
way to this port.
Owing to her age and infrmities she was
not obliged to work her passage, but was fed
and cared for by the officers of the ship who,
when they heard her story. pitied the unfor-
tunate woman.
She Marie Jeanne Caroff of Bretagne.
As could he learned she wanted TO get
here to reach her nephew, who lives near Scran-
ton and who in frequent letters has asked her
to live Nth him. She started. without waiting
for money.
She has been Il lifelong invalid from hip dis
ease. and her sufferings and hard work in her
native country have completely broken her
down. According to the story she told the off,
GERS, she has not a relative left in her native
province. or any one TO care for her except her
nephew.
She is held Ellis Island. A hearing will
be held on her case early in the week. Owing
to her physical condition, it is doubtful whether
she can be admitted, even If her nephew comes
TO her assistance.

There is simply nothi.s in it," he
continued. 1T is all talk of the Wild

sorry that such n story ever got start
ed. There is really no excuse for writ
ing such an article. We are doing all
possible to aid the sugar beet farmers
and In every way our relations with
them are the best possible. and we
have no thought OF buying the farms
and going into the beet-raising busi-
ness ourselves. Beet crops are very
promising. Prospects are fine and we
are all well pleased. The storms de-
stroyed crops in sor.e sections. but
the beets are practically untouched."-
