Teport on the Payne-Aldrich bill indicates that the
debate will not be as extended it threatened to
lie before the conferrees reported. The Senate will
meet at 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The session proba-

tinue until 6 o'clock until the report Is
adopted. If It is found that more Senators desire
to speak than have already given notice 1t is pos
sible that evening sessions may be held
Senator Aldrch is determined that the confer
ence report shall be carried into next
week. He does not expect to occupy very much
time himself. He said to-day that he would not
speak longer than an hour or two, and that other
n embers Of the committee would occupy compar-
atiyely little time. It is probable that Senators
who were opposed 10 the placing of hides on the

that despite the attitude Of the populace OF
Catalonia and the desertions from the army in
Northern Spain the response Of the recruits and
reservists to the call TO the colors in other
provinces. like Aragon and Andalusia. was
unanimous.
The Minister Of War has prohibited the de-
psrture from Spain OF all persons subject To
military duty under the penalty Of being con-
sidered deserters. The government has placed
the ban on the sale Of foreign papers containing
accounts Of recent actions in Catalonia and Mo-
rocco.

Barcelona since the fighting there says that the
population suffered greatly from hunger, and
that food is stu lacking Fishermen and others

says. are selling the necessaries Of life at
orbitant prices. Order, he adds, has begun to
reign again, and the newspapers will appear to-
morrow. The captain general has informed the
government that further achievements at Bar
celona are unnecessary.
An official note issued to-day announces that
the latest aovices from Barcelona say that order
reigns, especially in the centre OF the city where
the public is moving about the streets and most
of the stores have reopened. Work has been
suTned in several factories, and the gas lighting
plant will soon be re-esta blished. Only one
electric plant however, is in operation. The
