DoINGS OF CONGRESS-
AI.DRIcH CURRENCY BILL WILL. ca
 TO HOUSE.
Senate Has Almost Voted Itself Ont ef Basiness, But Negro soldiers,
 Hsll ss Coming .Up

Washington. March 2s--Interest in the doings of Congress this week will be cenfered in the progress of the Ala. rich currency bill. which passed the Senate on Friday and goes to the House on Monday.
 While 1t wiiI be sent over to the House with the beginning of the week. the decision to refer the measure to the Committee on Banking and Currency will have the effect of postponing the crisis which the bill must sooner or later encounter in the House. It's friends. however. are very sanguins that 1t will meet the same success that came to 1t in the Senate.
 The Senate came near voting itself out of business when it passed the Ala rich currency bill. and with that meas ure disposed of for the time being, fnds itself almost without material to work on. There are number of reported bills on the calendar, but none of them are of great importance.
 The Senate is never at loss, how ever. to find a subject for discussion and there need be no apprehension of a suspension of business pending the bringing out by committees of meas ures now before them.
 It is expected that before the close of the week the Notifications, army and pension bill will receive commit tee sanction and that one of them will be taken up by the Senate Thursday or Friday.
 Tha warner bill. for the reinstate- ment of the negro soldiers who were discharged because of the Brownsville incident, will probably be. reported by the Committee on Military Affairs on Tuasdav. but probably not discussed until later in the session.

The appointment of W. A. Manning as Superintendent of the Emergency Hospital. vice Archie Thompson, re- signed, has been announced and Mir. Manning has already commenced mak : ing Arrangements preliminary to the actual assumption of duties.

The ex- penses. he stated. represented neces- sary expenditures for food for the in- mates of the hospital and for other sup plies which must be had. Mayor Teague held that the claim presented and offered to settle oh rate of 50 per cent. That ssttismept Mir. Thomp- son declined to accept. His resigna- ton was then reauested by the Mayor.
 The claim. when 1t was considered by the Council. was referred to the F'i- nance Committees which has not made public the finding 1t will present to the Council.
 Mir. Thompson resigned and Mir. Man. ming was appointed to succeed him.
 Mir. Manning will assume charge as soon sS possible. He Is a well known citizen of Montgomery and by both his friends sndlstbe oficers of the city is regarded as every wsy coiapetent to

FINE SPRING SUNDAY
IDEAL, WEATHER TAKES HUNDREDS
 TO CTTY'S PARKS.
coneert by HoRman's Orchestra at Pickett sPringa a. Feature of Day-Some Go to Base-
 bali Park.

There was ideal park weather sunday and the people of Montgomery took Advantage of it. Hundreds went to Pickett Springs. many to the baseball mark. where there was more or less of interest. and others to Oak Park. which is very beautiful place indeed on spring days
 At Pickett Springs there vas an en- joyabie concert by Hoffman's orches- ira. and that was. from the amusement point of view, the feature of the day. Th lei program lasted about two hours, and was heard by many, most of whom spent the entire afternoon in and around the Casino.
 Al Oak Park there was an unusually large number of visitors out for a touch of country life.
 The weather could not have been much finer. The Weather Bureaus prophecy that a light rain was prob able was delightfully."- fulfilled in that there were just enough raindrops to make the Bureaus reputation strong, and just enough to keep anybody from Tninding. The clouds at one time threatened a shower. but they passed away rapidly.
