scene a pioneer wagon was. held up
by Indians, and rescued by soldiers
impersonated by members of the
Alexandria Light Infantry. Much
merriment was occasioned among tnt
spectators by some of the side snow

Retention by the Senate Of the
drastic prohibition amendments ad-
ded by the House or at least Of pro-
visions prohibiting use of foodstuffs
in manufacturing distilled spirits,
generally is deemed probable. The
principal fight on the prohibition
question is expected to come over

against further manufacture OF
whisky, brandy and other distilled
spirits IS widespread, but many ''dry"
Senators oppose extending the pro-
hibition to beer and wines.
Today the bill, as it passed the
House, will be substituted for the
Chamberlain draft, which the Senate
has been debating pevfunctorily dur
ing the past week. Compromise
amendments resulting from Sena.

Aside from the prohibition feat
lures the principal disputes expected
