Philippine BILL.
Passing Ct II Will Be the Business Of
Senate This Week.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The principal
event scheduled for the senate during
the present week is the taking OF the
vote on the Philippine civil govern
ment bill. which is set down for next
Friday at 3 o'clock. Under the agree
ment TO vote the bill remains the ur-
finished business of the senate until
that date. and il will have preference
over oil other questions in the matte
OF debate each day after 2 o'clock.
Many democratic senators are OF
posed TO thc bill, but the best infor-
nation o5ta inable is that there will be
no gene 81 debate on the Philippine
question as they consider the passag 8
of the bill a forcgonc conclusion. They
will devote their efforts 10 securing a
modification Of some Of the provisions
which they regard as especially OBJ
noxious, giving special attention 70
the boad and Chinese imLigratiol
clauses
After the vote on the Philippine bill
on Friday the senate will adjourn un-
til the following Monday, and it Is
considered doubtful whether much
more business OF general importance
will be ,ben undertaken until after
Christmas.

TRIED TO KILL GUARD
Missouri Desperate Made a
Vicious Assault at Fort
LeaVenW0rth.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, Feb. civilian
Rudolph, alias Charles Gorney, the des-
peradO from Franklin ce1nty, Missouri,
assaulted and tried to disarm a guard
at the Kansas penitentiary tonight with
d view of making his escape. Rudolph
was brought into the peniteiItiary dim
ing room with a gang from the east
wing cell house in charge Of Guard Roe.
After eating supper. as the cOnvicts
were passing out, Rudolph seized a case
knife fro mthe table and tried to cut
Guard Roe, calling on Roe to surrender
as he did so.
Before Rudolph could injure Roe, an
old lifetime prisoner named lobe Tay-
Tor, grabbed Rudolph by. the arm and
prevented him from using the knife.
Two other prisoners assisted in over
towering Rudolph and bearing him to
the floor. Rudolph was marched back
to the cell house and searched, when a
note addressed to his mother was found
on his person. This note shows con-
clusively that he is Rudolph. if any
doubt existed on that point. Rudolph
is now in shackles and will be held in a
solitary cell till he is turned over to
the Missouri authorities.

Troops Cannot Be Rushed Across
Trans-siberian Road.
Berlin. Feb. 22.-The AIilftar Wochen-
blatt, the organ of the German general
staff, has published an article discuss
ing Russia's prospects Of reinforcing
her army IN East Asia. The paper
takes a pessimistic view Of the capacity
of the Trans-Siberian railroad. and es-
pecially Of the section, crossing Lake
Baikal, where it says the difficulties to
be overcome are enormous. The lin
tied capacity of the line is said to be
a much more serious matter than the
threatened damage to it by natives. The
paper estimates the present troop
moving capacity of the railroad from
Russia's experience Of last summer in
moving two brigades to Tschita. east
of Lake Baikal, which was only accom-
plished at the rate of eight and a half
miles an hour. At this rate it would
take thiTty-six days TO convey $4,000
men from the Ural mountains 10 Muk-
den or VladIvOstok.
The paper assumes the present
strength of the Russia army in eastern
Asia to be 15S.761 men, and upon the
foregoing estimate of time required TO
move troops. it declares it will take
until April 20 for Russia to raise the
strength Of her East Asiatic army to
233 900 men.
The Militar Wochenblatt is Of the
opinion that the easiest thing for Japan
To do TO compel Russia TO abandon
Manchuria is 10 strike at the center of
the country. or. in other words, cOncen-
trate her forces against Hardin.
