SUNDRY CIVIL ALLOWANCE
BILL PASSED BY SENATE
Forty Thousand Dollars Embodied in
Final Amendment to Remodel
White House

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The sun
dry civil appropriation bill was passed
by the senate just before adjournment
today with an amendment securing
$40, 900 for remodeling the White House
office building to give additional room
for the president, and providing $25,0Ou
for his travelling expenses.
On motion of Mr. Foraker an amend
ment appropriating 100000 to the Ro-
man Catholic church in Porto Rico for
property in Porto Rico Was adopted.
The authorization for an additional
issue of $30,000,0O0 of Panama canal
bonds was stricken out on protest of
Senator Clay, who criticised the exces-
sive cost of the canal.
Senator Hale said in this connection;
1--WE went into this thing in a blind
way, and we have stumbled along in
it ever since. The majority of the sem
ate favored a sea level canal, but we
were drawn into an approval of the
lock system. Only one thing is omnt-
present in this matter, and that is the
constant demand for more money"
The bill carries appropriations of
about $139, 100000.
Tomorrow. the general deficiency bill,
the last of the great supply measures,
will be reported to the senate, and it is
hoped 1t will be passed during the day.

SENATORS DISCOVER
BIG STICK SUSPENDED
DIRECTLY ABOVE THEM

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Literaily
there Is a ''big stick" hanging over the
senate and it will remain there even
after the fourth of March.
1t has been there in fact during the
entire administration of President Roose-
welt and it was there throughout many
preceding administrations.
It's presence was not, however. de
tected until last Saturday. 10 Repre-
sentative Shirley of Kentucky is due the
credit of its discovery.
When Mr.. shirley, who was sitting in
the chamber, looked up he found the
stick, as he puts 1t, as big as life, sus-
pended Immediately over the head OF
Senator Tillman.
The instrument Is part of one of
the paintings glass which ornament
the ceiling of the senate chamber and
1t is so prominent that many senators
to whom 1t was pointed out commented
upon their failure TO observe II before.

NOTORIOUS GAMING RESORT
DESTROYED
Palace Hotel and Arcade Completely
Consumed-Washo Saloon Also

rBy Associated Press.l

RENO, New, March Fire start
ing, it is supposed. from an overheated
fiue in an upper room of the. Arcade
hotel on Commercial street at o'clock
this afternoon quickly communicated
to the Palace hotel and gambling house,
owned by Jim May at Commercial and
Center streets, and in an hour the old
landmark and notorious gaming place
was razed and the Arcade hotel mass
of smouldering ruins.
The Washoe saloon and restaurant,
adjoining the Arcade on the west, was
wrecked and its contents destroyed.
The loss will approach 100000, part
ly insured.
Four men made a thrilling rescue of
Miss Pearl Foley who had been asleep
in one of the rooms of the Palace.
After throwing several articles of no
value from the window she collapsed
and lay helpless on the sill, while
flames swirled around her.
Before a ladder could be raised the
men rushed forward and. swinging one
upon the other reached Miss Foley and
carried her to the street through
flame-filled stairway.
The Palace gambling house has been
the scene of many spectacular plays,
one of the most noted being made by
it's present owner, Jim May.
One night two years ago, after
run of hard luck, May put $1,000 on
No. 4 on the roulette wheel and won
$4,000.
In lieu of cash he was given an in
terest in the games, since which time
he had acquired the building.

MESSINA March 1.-The work of
construction of wooden houses with
material sent out from the United
States or purchased with American
money to shelter the earthquake sur
vivors is progressing favorably under
the direction of Lieutenant Commander
Reginald Pierre Belknap, the American
attache at Berlin and Rome.
The lack of carts and horses has
made the transportation of lumber
from the dock to the point of erection
both slow and expensive. 1t costs $4,000
to deliver enough lumber to build 500
houses.
1t has been decided to build 1000
houses at Bessina, 1000 at Reggio ano
100 at the settlement called Regina
Elena, the village three miles from
here being constructed under the per-
sonal direction of Queen Helena.
