SENATE MAKES HASTE SLOWLY
UPPER HOUSE TAKING TIME
WITH TARIFF BILL.
Senator's Anxious to Have a Hand in
Making Lumber schedule-Night
Sessions Unsettled.

Haste was made very slowly today by
the Senate on the consideration of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. The session be-
gan at 10 am. and up until pm. moth
ing had been accomplished further than
the delivery of lot Of speeches for and
against the McCumber amendment for
free lumber. Almost every senator, ap-
parently wants to have hand in the
making of the lumber schedule anu seems
determined to let his constituents know
Of his interest in it.
Contrary to expectations. no action was
taken on the question of holding night
sessions to push the debate to an early
close. The finance committee, up to a
late hour, had not reported the Hale
resolution for this purpose, and it was
rumored about that strong opposition to
working after dark had developed
Whether Mr.. Aldrich will succeed in
forcing the night sessions this week
still remains dubious, but there is little
doubt that he will make the effort as
soon as he thinks he has good chance.
Another thing that Mr.. Aldrich failed to
do today was to ask again for the liking
of time for the final vote on the bill
and all pending amendments. 1t was
noiSed about yesterday that he would do
this today. repeating his efforts of Sat-
urday, and today it is rumored that he
will try again tomorrow. There will be
republican and democratic opposition to
fixing the date at this time. however. and
the chances seem to be against Mr.. AL
drich's attempts to coax senators into
yielding on this point right away.

STOCK COMPANY PROPOSED
WILL ERECT HOME FOR SOUTH
ERN COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.
After 100000 Has Been Raised It
Is Thought Balance May Be
Provided For.

The great building enterprise of the
Southern Commercial Congress in this
city is likely to be started during the
coming months, because of the favorable
progress reported in securing the financial
cooperation of leading men throughout
the south. Instead of waiting the slow
process of getting together through the
subscriptions of members of the con-
gress the funds which will be needed u
plan has been proposed and acted upon in
part which will make possible at once
the financing of this great undertaking.
1t is proposed to organize a company
for the purpose of erecting a home for
the congress on the site at 18th and H
streets northwest recently secured for
that purpose The stockholders of the
company will also be members of the
congress. and with the money derived
from the stock subscriptions 1t Is pro-
posed to erect an Office building that will
cost about a million dollars.
1t is estimated by T. F. Schneider who
has been consulted in regard to the plans
of the structure. and who will design the
building. that it will cost fully that much
to put up building that will be thor
Oughly up-to-date.
1t is considered that by placing about
100000 of the stock of the building COM
pany the balance Of the funds needed for
the building, as well as to pay for the
ground can be provided for in a loan on
the property as improved.
The building company Is really to be a
holding company for the Southern Com
mercial Congress. and the stockholders
of the one will be the members of the
other. The plan has met with such ap-
proval that. it is reported. about $40O. 900
has already been subscribed, and the at
tention Of all in the south interested in
this project has not as yet been called
to this matter.

TWO DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT.
Secret Service Gives Warning OF

urer of the United States. Portrait OF

"This counterfeit is apparently printed
from etched plates of fair workmanshi
on good quality bond paper, no attempt
having been made to initiate the silk fiber
OF the genuine. The blue seal, large
numeral. and numbers are Of good color
and workmanship. The number of the
note at hand is D53579933. The portrait
of Washington is the worst feature of
the note. II does not stand out In relief
from the background, which causes it to
lack the lifeiikeness of the genuine. The
green ink of the back is much darker
than the genuine. This counterfeit should
not deceive the ordinarily careful hand

LITTLE INTEREST IN DEBATE
SHOWN IN THE SENATE.

Obtain a Quorum-Senator
Burkett Follows.

Senator Hepburn resumed his speech
on the lumber schedule in the Senate to-
day and submitted a large amount of evil
dence concerning the cost Of producing
finished lumber and the need for differ
entail duty.

it was the mills in the west or south that
1t was proposed to close.

Record Is SO limited and the interest of
the press in this question SO small that
prefer to speak ito those who must vote
on this question: the Idaho senator said
Roll Called Repeatedly.

quorum and the roll was called. A quo
rum responded and Mr. Hepburn repeat ed
his question.
The silence which followed was broken
by the senator declaring: IF you don't
answer those questions here you will an
swer them when the election day comes
around, and you want to hold up to the
people the fruits of the republican party"
In the meantime so many senators had
again left the chamber that quorum

The pouch had been slit open and inside
was a pair OF almost new, but greasy.
gloves Of small size. The tag at the top
showed that 1t had come from, San Fran.

found indicated that II came from Reno
They dropped from sight so quickly that
not a single person has been able to give
a clew to the direction In which they
went. That the empty mail pouches were
found at -43d street leads the police to
believe that the robbers came toward
Omaha after holding up the train.
What means of escape the robbers Sc
lected Is indefinite. but officers believe
that they had either an automobile OF
fast horses. The fact that only two OF
dicates that they were in no hurry to
divide their loot. The greasy glove found
strengthens the automobile theory.
Signal Fire Burning.
A signal fire was burning near wher,
the robbery took place, evidently as a
signal for the robbers on the train tc
execute their designs. AS the robbery
occurred at the city limits. the police be
lieve that the outlaws went to rem
devious in Omaha, where they may b<
still.
The spot where the hold-up occurred is
only two blocks from where Eddie Cudah,
was kept d prisoner after being KIDNAPPED

the robbers sent a few bullets in their
direction.
