There is said to be little hope of the
passage at this session of Congress of
the bill making an appropriation for the
jamestown Exposition. Speaker Can
non refuses absolutely to recognize any
member for the purpose of calling up
the exposition bill.
Speaker Cannon today again empha-
sized his opposition to the passage OF a
building bill. The committee on public
buildings and grounds prepared one,
carrying about nine and half million
dollars. The speaker told the committee
that he would not grant rule for its
consideration. Today a petition was
presented to him signed by 300 members.
asking that the bill be considered.
Speaker Cannon again said them nay.
The hackers of the bill have not yet
abandoned all hope although they are
sadly discouraged.

No MATTER what may be the sins of
commission and omission on the part OF
The present occupant Of the White House,
that he acted correctlysin sending
message of coincidence to the Gar on
the occasion of the murder OF Grand
Duke Sergius by anarchists last Friday
should be apparent not only to repre-
sentatiyes of the American people, bat
10 the intelligent lsity and lsw-abIdlng
generally; hence the action Of Repre-
sentative Baker, OF New York, yesterday
in denouncing the President for sending
a message of sympathy will not appeal
10 the great majority. Among other
things Mr.. Baker declared that the
American people viewed with adherence
the massacre in st. Petersburg on
January 20, but the President had net
seen fit to send message Of coincidence
IN that occasion. He subsequently
read a resolution on the subject which IN
effect was a reiteratiOn Of his remarks
previously made. He explained that
his object in 50 doing was because it had
been suggested that in that event a mo-
ton would be made to expel him. de
sbouted defiance to any member
or the House to make the motion
as he deposited the resolution ana
took his seat amid the confusion and
turmoil which the Incident had created.
No one was so bereft Of reason as to sug-
gest his expulsion. A calm followed the
brief tempest and the House resumed
the consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill. No matter how great may
be the sympathy of many in this coun-
try for those who are suffering under the

the form of government in Russia Is the
end of all controversy 80 lar as ulpio-

coincidence when one high in authority

SENATE.

The death knell of railroad rate legis-
lation 10 the Senate for this session was
sounded today when Senstor Elkins,
chairman of the COMMITTEES on inter-
state commerce. speaking on the floor Of
the Senate practically gave formal notice
that all efforts to secure such legislation
had been abandoned and that it was the
intention of the committee to continue
its inquiry during the summer.
The statement was in reply to rs-
quest for information made by Mr.. Der.
nv. Senator Ekins declared that the
mem bers of the committee favored in
creasing the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but that they
feel that hasty legislation would be un-
wise aud injurious. "The committee
has not reached definite conclusion"
be declared, "but the chance Of acting
on one Of the most important economic
questions ever presented to Congress
seems very SLIM"
Mr.. Carmack raised laugh when he
announced that Joyous harmony pre-
vailed in the committee on advocacy of
the doctrine preached in the last dems-
cratic national platform" And rosr
went up 10 which Mr.. ElkiDs joined,

clared: 1--WE, the members OF that

"A PRAYER TRUST" is reported in
Augusta, Me-, which has incensed the
superannuated and itinerant ministers
of the three cities of Augusta, Hollowell
aud Gardner. 1t has been customary
for the legislature to call upon the differ
ent ministers, without regard to denomI-
nation, to invoke divine blessing at the
opening Of each mornings session, but a
certain clique of ministers, formed into
club, have got an order through the leg
islature allowing only those who have
settled parishes to make prayers at the
State House, thus freezing out all the
superannnated and itinerant. This
order was followed by another increasing
the price from 50 to So per prayer, and
this has especially spurred those outside
of the circle to try to have the order re-
scinded.

was feared civil war on small scale was
imminent Reinforcements were sum-
moned and today the rioters are being
subdued. The cause OF the outbreak is
supposed to have been bloody feud.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Whether the Senate conferees on the
statehood bill will represent the party
that defeated joint statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico, or the party that
fought for the retention of that provisions
Was debated at length in the Senate yes
terday, but no decision was reached. The
usual manner is to name as conferees
the two ranking majority members and
the ranking minority member of the
committee having the bill in charge. In
the present case it was contended by
Senators German and Teller that the
conierees, if named, would not represent
sentiment for the bill as passed by the
Senate. The arguments were interrupt.
ed by the convention of the Senate as a
court to hear the Swayne impeachment
charges, but will be continued today.
The House managers in the Swayne trial
rested their case yesterday, and the de-
tense opened.
The house, aiIer a seven-hour session,
passed the naval appropriation bill,
carrying a total of 500, 914, 359. The
provision for tive battle.ships, as reported
by the committee on naval affairs, was
retained. Both the majority and minor
ity were badly divided over the propo-
sitioD, at least forty members of the latter
going over to the republicans, while about
an equal number of republicans voted in
opposition.

MEN oUTNUMBER WOMEN.
The Census Bulletin Recently Issued
Shows an Excess of Males in
United States.

Washington. n.--According to a census
bulletin recently made public there are
more men than women in the United
States, but in the cities there are more
women than men. In continental United
States there are 1.63S.S2l more males
than females, or about two In each 100
people. Europe has an excess of fe-
males: every other continent, SO far az
known, has an excess of males.
American cities as rule have more
females than males. In the 1851 cities,
each having in 1900 at least 1850 inhab-
Itants, there we're 201. .959 more females
than males, and this Notwithstanding
the many western cities which con-
tanned more males than females, and the
enormous number OF foreign born in the
country, five-ninths of them male and
a large proportion Of them living in the
cities.
Notwithstanding the great excess Of
males in the total population Of the
United States. there are two periods OF
life at which the reported number OF
females is greater. One. extending from
about SO years Of age to the end OF life,
probably is due mainly to the longer
average life cf women; the other. from
l6 to 25, probably is apparent rather
than real, and due mainly to the greater
number Of women who claim erroneous
" TO belong to this age period
