NO RUSH AT. THE END
The Joint Statehood Bill Left Last Night in Condition of Suspended Animation-TheS Senate Ratified the Gila County Bond Issue Bill.

Washington, March 3.-The senate found itself today far less pressed tEan is usual on the last day of a session of congress. All appropriation bills having been passed, the session was given up largely to general legislation and when necessary to conference re ports on appropriation bills. During the day final reports were presented on the naval, pOstoffice, Indian and sJsl- dry civil bills. leaving only the rivers and harbors bill and the general defi- ciency bill to be considered in their final stages. During the day the pure food bill was definitely displaced.
 The joint resolution continuing in force the present law applicable to the Panama canal zone was unanimously adopted but not until several senators had expressed themselves in frank Ian guage concerning the attitude of the house, to which they attributed the failure of the conference on the bill.

THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD
And Promise of More Nicholas Gives
 to His People.

St. Petersburg, March 3-In the Alexandra Palace at Tsarsxoe- Selo, surrounded by the ministers and few members of the court and with the enH- press at his side Emperor Nicholas this afternoon affixed his signature to n rescript containing his majesty's de- cree to give the elected representatives of the people an opportunity to express their views in the preparation of the laws of the empire.
 This is autocracy's final response to th': agitation in favor of participation by the people in the government. which has brought Russia in the last few months almost to the brink of re- volution. No change in regime of au- tocracy is involved for the present and 1t means neither a constitution nor a national assembly. At the same time it recognizes the principle of the peo- ple's right to be heard regarding the laws under which they must live. Whatever the result may be, the docu- ment is sure to mark an epoch in Rus sian history as important the sign Ing of the emancipation manifesto, the twenty fourth anniversary of which it was intended to signalize.
 The signing of the document came at the end of a dramatic scene. the climax of which was an impasSioned speech by Emperor Nicholas to his ministers. in which he declared that he sought only the welfare of his sub jects.
 T am willing" the emperor said, tn shed my blood for the good of rny people"
 From lips of a high parsonage who was present when the rescript was signed. the Associated Press is able to give the following authoritative state ment: 'The action of the emperor to- day is not a step toward representa- ton, but an actual grant to the people "f means whereby their duly elected representatives can place before his [; ;.ajest: their views of every import alt measrre affecting them and re- commended by the council of the em- pire. MOrec yer. if one reads the re- srhiI't carefully, one will see that it contains a distinct promise of some thing Llore in the future. Its small beginning will not involve the surrend- CT of the principle of autocracy now. but what it may evolve in the future only the future can determine"

His locomotive plowed through the rear Pullman of the for- ward train and half way into the tour tst sleeping car just ahead.

Moist Weather Predicted for QuadrennidI Ceremony
PREPARATIONS COMPLETE
For the Induction of President Roose- welt Into 0ffice Today = The Great Crowds Which Have Gathered to Witness the Brilliant Event.

Washington, March 3.-Probabillties strongly incline toward rain for the early part of tomorrow's inaugural festivities, in the opinion of official Forecaster Frankenfield, of the wea- ther bureau. The weather may clear in time for the parade in the after noon. There is 8 chance that Wash ington may escape the rain altogether, MT F'rankenfield said, but the odds were against it.
 Barring the prospect of rain tomor- row, everything points to a most suc- cessful and brilliant inauguration. Evi- dence of complete readiness for the event, even as to small details, is everywhere apparent. Tonight the il- luminations on several public buildings and in the Court of History in front of the presidents house were tested and found to work satisfactorily. They presented q charming sight. Pennsyi- vania avenue was a blaze of light from the illuminations in the dome of the capitol at one end of the thoroughfare to the treasury department at the other.
 Pennsylvania avenue tonight was a dense mass of strollers viewing the sights. Numerous military and naval organizations arrived in the city dur ing the day and night and mingled with the plainly attired inhabitants.
 The West Point cadets arrived to- night. They marched from the sta tion to Washington barracks where they will he quartered. The capitol was the mecca for many more than could possibly gain admission to the senate and house galleries to watch the closing scenes of congress. The overflow wandered through the cor riders. The congressional library shared honors with the capitol as to the crowds and was filled until the closing hours.
 At every hotel and club house re- unions of various political and patri- otic organizations, or receptions to visiting governors were in progress.
 President Roosevelt and his family spent the evening quietly at the White House.
 - At the vice presidents home there was q dinner followed by a reception to Governor Hanly of Indiana, and staff. The dinner party included twenty persons in all, among whom were members of Senator Fairbanks family

l congress at noon tomorrow found that body almost through with it's work of disposing of the conference reports on the great supply measures of the gov l ernment and a few measures of public importance. From the moment the doors were opened until late in the night the galleries were packed, while outside the corridors were thousands anxious to gain an entrance to the chamber
 The feature of the proceedings was the general desire of the members to abstain from obstructive tactics and permit the disposition of business Speaker Cannon wielded the gavel over the entire session and maintained the best of order. The only subject which gave rise to considerable debate was the conference report on the rivers and harbors bill. By an overwhelming vote the house refused to agree to the mo- tion of MT. Sibley to concur in the senate amendment and the bill was sent back to conference. Reports on the Indian and postoffice bills were agreed to which finally passed both measures.
 The conference report on the naval appropriation bill was called up by MT. Ross of Illinois. On division 100 to S9, the house concurred in the amend ments, thereby finally passing the bill.
 Bills were passed as follows:
 Authorizing the secretary of war to sell magazine rifles for the use of rifle clubs formed under regulations pre- pared by the national board for the promotion of rife practice
 Authorizing the president to ailot and distribute tribal funds to such In- dians as in his judgment may be en- titled to them by reason of their ad- Vanced civilization.
 Relating to the construction and maintenance of roads, schools and the care and support of insane persons in Alaska.
 To further prescribe the duties of the secretary of the district of Alaska.
 MT. Kalanianole of Hawaii. address ed tho house on the subject of leper colonies in Hawaii, in answer to some suggestions made yesterday that one of the islands be used for a national leporsarium including patients from the United States. He protested against the proposal on the ground that it will be destructive to the in- terests of that territory.
 At o'clock the house took a recess until o'clock. On recOnvening MT. Hemenway presented the conference report on the sundry appropriation bill and 1t was agreed to. The action finally passed the bill.

A GREAT DRUG COMBINE
The Attention of the United States Is
 Directed to It.

Chicago, March 3.-The existence of a gigantic combination controlling the drug trade of the United States. cost ing consumers $4O,OOO, ,OOO annually is held to have been proven by the hear ing just concluded before United States Commissioner Sampsell. The amount of business controlled by the combination is placed at $400,OO0. 900 yearly.
 The evidence is said to be conclu- sive that it will probably be placed in the hands of Attorney General Moody for prosecution on the part of the government.

The cIcrgrmnn,s Hobbyhorse.

Visitors to Il quaint little church In
England observe Il curious relic In the
shape of Il high stool with n leather
ton like Il saddle. The parish clerk
shows not Il little pride in this relic II
tells It's story with relish. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
the country parsons were accustomed
to spend much of their time hunting
with their country squires. Often-
times the fox got more attention than
the sermon on the following Sunday.
Such was the case with the parson who
left the saddle stool behind him as a
relic of the days of fox hunting par
sons. lie was Il good deal moro at
home in the saddle than In the pulpit,
so in order to Introduce some Of the
life and spirit into his discourses which
he felt while In the hunting field, the
reverend gentleman had this saddle
stool made. 1t was placed In the pull
pit before the parson mounted the
steps. Once astride this hobby the par
son was able to reach a much higher
degree Of enthusiasm and cloquence
than he could have unmounted.

A TOad's Cunning.

A scientific journal tells this story
Of a toad's cunning: A brood Of chick
ems was fed with moistened meal In
snucers, and when the dough soured n
little It attracted large numbers Of
flies. An observant toad had evidently
noticed this, and every day toward
evening he would make his appearance
In the yard, hop to a saucer, climb In
and roll over until he was covered with
meal, having done which he awaited
developments. The flies, enticed by the
smell, 500 swarmed around the schem-
Ing batrachian, and whenever one pass
ed within two inches or so Of his nose
his tongue darted out and the fly dis
appeared. The plan worked SO well
that the toad made n regular business
Of it.

Feyers and Foods.

In typhoid fever the intestincs are
the seat OF the trouble, aud all solid
foods should be debarred. Hero nutri-
tious broths and liquids are needed,
but no meat should be given until the
temperature has been normal for sew
erGl days. In scarlet fever avoid all
heterogeneous foods, because the kidneys
and skin are ~congested, and those are
the organs that eXcrete nitrogen. Their
work should be lessened, not Increased.
For this reason any Of the legumes,
beans, peas or lentlls should not be
used. Broth made from them would be
most disastrous, while beef or mutton
broth, which IS less nutritious, can be
readily assimilated.
