Ottumwa, Iowa. Feb. 21.--Lacll of a
leader was all that saved Ottumwa to-
night from adding another bloody
chapter to the history of race riots in
the United States. A mob of men and
boys which increased from 100 to more
than 1000, gathered around the City
Jail, thirsty for vengeance on the
Negro who committed a criminal as
sault on a white woman early today

The weather was well nigh perfect off

Both Houses Will Put on
Steam This Week.
Expected to Clear Away All
The Appropriation Bills.
River and Harbor Bill May Possibly
Be Talked to Death.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Both Houses
of Congress will begin this week tc
crowd on steam for the last squirt or
til" present Congress After the close
of business next Saturday there will
remain only three days for legislation
and it is realized that it will be neccs-
sary TO get practically all of the APP
Precipitation bills through both Houses
by that time, as most of the remaining
days will be necessary for the adjust
n.cnt of the differences between the
two Houses. Consequently no attcn-
ton viii be paid in either House to any
otner measures when appropriation
bills arc in shape for consideration.
Both Houses will probably commcnc"
holding night sessions early next week.
The House will begin the work with
the discussion of the great sundry civ
il bill which not only carries q large
appropriation, but covers multitudC
of subjects in which, as usual, there
is much new legislation, and it is ex-
pected that this bill will consume most
of the week. The House will, however,
find opportunity to consider reports of
conference committees as they are
brought in and it is expected that the
question of the salary of the secretary
of state will again Tuesday receive at
tenticn in connection with the confer
ence report On the Legislative. execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
The conferees have reached an agree
ment on that subject, but this fact VIII
probably not prevent further refer
ence to. it in either the House or the
Senate when the report is presented.
Whether or not any debate on gerer-
al subjects is allowed on the sundry
civil bill, it will, in itself. be made the
subject OF much discussion as there
are many provisions in it on which
there are sharp differences of opinion,
including those relating to the Secret
Service Panama canal and immisra :
ton TT is expected that the general
deficiency bill will he ready for con-
sderotion by the House when the sun
dry civil bill is disposed Of The river
ard harbor bill has already passed the
House under suspension of the rules.
Undoubtedly the House will be able
before the close of the season TO dis
nose Of all Of the appropriation bills
and the outlook in the Senate is much
brighter than it was a week ago. Dur
ing the past week the Senate put be-
hind it the postoffice, the naval, the
pension, the army and the Indian bills,
and it will be prepared to go on this
