Advanced Condition of the Appropriation
Bills—Merrill Fails to Have the
Tarifi‘ Bill Taken Up by the
Senate—“fork of the House.
I
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The present ses-
sion of the Fifty-fburth congress is likely
to be memorable for its brevity. That
this is the positive intention of the leaders
Of both chambers is no longer denied, and
the plan is likely to be carried out. Two
main advantages of a short session are ap-
parent. Little can be accomplished from
a party point of .view by prolonging the
congressional term and assuming before
the country the seeming responsibility for
doing something. The president will veto
any strictly Republican legislation, and
the hold of that party in the senate is by
a thread too slender to be Of value in
emergencies. The bare half of the sena.
tors the Republicans will possess when
they count Mr. Du Pont among their num-
ber is not worth much when the silver
men are taken into account. This, with
the Populistie balance of power, makes
the senate quite as difficult to handle as
‘the White House. Then the notion pre-
vails that a party loses by attempting to
do too much. Mr. Lodge has voiced this
sentiment in a signed article in the Phila-
delphia Press. in which be ascribed the
defeat of the Republicans in 1890 and 1892
to the tactical mistake of accomplishing
too much when they came into power in
1889. The present situation furnishes an
analogous warning. One of the veteran
Republican leaders said the other day:
“As the case now stands we have the best
Of the argument and can go before the
people. Why should we take any risks of
injuring an already sufficient claim for re-
turn te power?”
Leaders All For Haste.
This is the Republican attitude: “NO
party legislation can get through. There—
fore why risk our present standing with
the people by the mistakes that may de-
velop in a long session of congress?” The
leaders at both ends of the capitol have
this lesson well learned, and Mr. Reed is
instilling the short session and inactivity
idea among his followers, while in the
senate, where 25 per cent of the members
are presidential possibilities, the idea is
equally strong. The condition of the ap-
propriation bills beats all former records.
Of the 13 great bills five have gone
through, and discussion on the sixth and
seventh is now under way. Comparison
with past long sessions shows that this is
extraordinary haste, and. there is no evi-
dence of any intention to lessen the speed.
The Dingley bond bill, for which the sen-
ate passed a free silver substitute, is to all
intents dead. As ' previously stated in
these dispatches, the Republican leaders
of the senate do not expect to get any tar-
iff legislation, in spite of Chairman Car-
ter’s smooth words. What, then, is there
to do beyond passing the general appre-
priation bills, upon which there is a sub-
stantial agreement all around? Concern-
ing other proposed legislative changes, it
is wonderful to what an extent the reply
comes when inquiry is made. “Oh, there
will be nothing done this session,” or,
“We shall have to go pretty slow on that
this time.”
Take the bankruptcy bill, which started
ed with such brilliant prospects in the
house committee and, now seems so likely
to gain the approval"of the house. The
senate committee stands nine to four
against it, and although in past congresses
the senate has put through a bankruptcy
bill, while the house failed to do so, the
tables will be reversed this time, and there
is almost no hope that the senate will re-
spond to this demand of the business pub-
lic of the north and east.
In the House.
Although notice had been given that the
Van Horn-Tarsney contested election case
would be called up ,in the house today,
Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Indian af-
fairs committee, was recognized, and on
his motion the house went into committee
of the whole immediately after the reading
of the journal and resumed the considera-
tion of the Indian appropriation bills.
The only paragraph in the bill remaining
unacted upon authorized the secretary of
the interior to purchase the title Of the
Ogden Land company to the lands within
the Alleghany and Cattaraugus Indian
reservations, in New York state, at the
rate O 535 per acre. This Ogden land
.ciaim has been a perennial source Of dis-
scnsion. Today while the forces for and
against the claim were arraying themselves
Mr. Sherman unexpectedly asked unani-
mous consent that the item be stricken
from the bill.
' Some fear was expressed that the item
would be inserted in the senate, and that
if it were, ample opportunity to debate it
might be cut off, but consent was given,
and the item went out. The bill was then
reported to the house. No one demanded
.a separate vote ,0!) - the Linton sectarian
school amendment, and, as amended, the
bill was passed. ‘
,. Mr. Dingiey. chairman Of the ways and
. fi‘means committee, then called up the bill

gotiations with Russia, England and Ja-
pan, Or either of them, for a commission

president was authorized by the bill to
conclude a modus vivendi to terminate
Jan. 1, 1898, for the protection Of the
seals, and in case such a modus vivendi
could not be concluded before the opening
of the present session, the secretary of the

Dingley had the report of the committee,
which has already been published, read,
and he explained that the necessity for
immediate action arose from the fact that

bethj‘sides of the senate two young men,
one satisfactory to Republican senators
and the’other to the Democrats. were ap-
pointed. It‘ was needless, Mr. Sherman
said, that another Office should be created.
Mr. Allen responded that as one official
had been chosen to look after Republican
caucus secrets and another for Democratic
caucus secrets it was most appropriate in
view of the proportions which the Popu-
list party was assuming in the senate‘that
a Populist officer be chosen.
There was considerable further discus-
sion, but the resolution finally went over.
Mr. Merrill, chairman of the finance
committee, immediately followed with a
distinct surprise in the form Of ya resolu-
tion to take up the tariff bill. Mr. Merrill
began with a brief statement as to the
complication on the tariif bill. He said
it had been apparent for many months
that there was a deficiency in the rev-
enues. During every month since the
present tariff bill went into effect there
had been a deficiency. His motion was
finally defeated—yeas, 22; nays, 33.
Mr. Frye (Rep, Me.) then took the
floor to declare that the tariff bill was as
dead as Julius Caesar. Business interests
demanded that the statement be made
emphatically that the bill was dead. He
hoped it would never be heard from again,
and that the responsibility should. rest
where it belonged.
At 2:10 p. in. Mr. Morgan resumed his
speech on the Cuban resolutions.
A MADISON MYSTERY.
A Terrible Double Tragedy, Probably the
Result of Insanity. ' ,
MADISON, Wis, Feb. 26.-—A terrible
tragedy, resulting in the fatal shooting of
Mrs. A. W. Patterson by her husband and
his death by his own hand immediately
afterward, occurred today at their home
in this city. Whether it was not practical-
ly a double suicide is a question. A letter,
ostensibly by both parents, was left to the
children, saying husband and wife had
premeditated suicide for some time, and
resolved to die together. This declaration,
however, is opposed by the fact that when
found the wife, who was in her night
robe, had one arm thrown across her face
as if to shield it and a bullet in the arm,
while the husband was still fully dressed.
Both with other members of the house-
hold had attended revival services, being
held here, during the evening, and had
gone to their rooms apparently in the best
of spirits. The family came here from
"Algona, 1a., where Patterson was a mer-
chant, retiring on account of poor health.
They came here to educate their children
at the State university, which Patterson
formerly attended. _No other motive than
insanity on the part Of the husband or in-
tended suicide on the part of both can be
assigned for the deed. .
General Calixto Garcia Captured.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26,—The cause of Cu-

FACTS FOR THE FARMER.
Instead of using medicine as cathar-
tics give the animals linseed meal regu-
larl y, which is not harmful, but, on the
contrary, is a. nutritious food, which is
beneficial in many respects, especially
to cattle and horses. '
Whenever there is a bounteous fruit
crop vegetables are not cared for as
they should be. It is always best to
have a little variety laid by for winter
use, for before another crop is harvest-
ed they will be hugely appreciated.
The prices of farm implements are.
low compared with the past. When '
prices of 1‘ arm produce fall, implements
must be sold at a. small margin of profit
owing to the. farmers curtailing ex— ;
pcnses in the several departments.
l'v'indOws of poultry houses should be
placed on the south or southwest side,
as the warmth of the sun will enter,

portions dry and free from dampness.
Every ,man who contemplates going
into the fruit business should first visit
an experienced specialist in the partic-
ular line he is going to engage in and
get all the information possible SO as to
start aright. This precaution may save

It Arrived in This Country from France
Recently. ,
The largest French plate-glass mir-
ror ever brought to this country.’ and,
according to the importer, the largest
mirror in.the world, was set up in the
dining-room of the new portion of the
Hotel Savoy recently. It took two days
and a. night, with over a. score of work-
men to get it frem the steamer to the
hotel and to set it'in place.
The dimensions of the mirror are
158x158 inches, making about 174
square feet of glass. It is nearly half
an inch thick. The glass alone weighs
900 pounds, and the combined weight
of it and the case it came in was over a
ton.
The mirror is not only the largest
but the most expensive in the ‘world,
its actual cost being in the neighbor-
hood of $5,000. The cost of manufac-
turing the one glass would have been

was fully $500. , '
The package was so large that there
are but two steamships in commission
which could bring it across the ocean.
These are the Friesland and the Ken—
It came on the Friesland,
of the Red Star line.
Sixteen men had hard work in hoist-
ing the monster mirror out of the hold
of the ship, and after it had been landed ~
on the dock amunlooked-for difficulty
arose. There is not a'single ferry-
house on the Jersey side of the Hud-
could not be got on any Of them.
The mirror was finally loaded on a
barge and taken across the North river
to the foot of West 49th street. It was
taken through that street to the Savoy
on a low float.
At the hotel another difficult-y arose.
It was feared that a part of the stone
walls of the building would have to be
torn down before the glass Could be
taken inside; but this was averted by
trance, and even then it was a tight
squeeze to get the box through. It
took 12 11111 under the personal super-
vision of Kahn nearly all night to
and across the dining-room, where it
is to be set up, and all the following
forenoon to put it in place. All of the
from outside watched to see if the
huge glass would be damaged when
unpacked. It was perfectly sound.
The mirror was made at the old St.
Gobain glass factory in Paris, the Old-
est plate-glass factory in the world. It
was, of course, made to order, and it
was a long time before the company
could be persuaded to undertake the

LEFT FOR DEAD.
A Horrible Hour Waiting for the Under-
‘ taker.
“Talking of peculiar experiences re-
minds me of something that fell to my
lot during my boyhood years,” said
John IT. White, 01‘ this city, recently.
“I had been injured in an explosion
of fireworks and was sick for a time,
but had recovered and thought I was,
well, when I was stricken with an at-
tack that affected my head and pros-~
The in-
jury caused me great pain and suffer-
ing and at times I was delirious. The
climax of my ”trouble came one night,
after I had suffered terribly during the
condition I sunk away until the watch-
ers at my bedside concluded I was dead.
“I was hundreds of miles from home,
and the friends waited for morning to
dawn to send word to my parents.
They had sent word to the undertaker
and covered me with a. sheet while wait-
ing for him. They also tied my hands
and feet in. position and fastened a
cloth under my chin and left me for
dead. AS I was covered, they did not
notice any other change, and so did not
see that I was reviving. I was very
weak and had not the strength to make.
any resistance of consequence. - At the
time I awoke I found myself covered
with the sheet and my mouth closed
with the cloth and my hands and feet
tied, and I realized at once the mistake
that had been made. I was weak and
could not call to them, nor was I ableQI
for a long time to move. The realize--
tion of the horrible blunder dazed me.
so that I was powerless. I lay there
under that sheet more than an hour, and
it was the most frightful experience I.
ever underwent. I wondered whether
the undertaker would come and finish
me, and then I wondered whether I
was really dead or whether I was in a
trance and would be buried in that con-
dition. Then perspiration broke out
all over my body and the nervous strain
continued until I shook as if with a.
chill. The tremor of my body attracted
my friends and-I was relieved from my
grewsome predicament and given the
care necessary, and was soon on the
high road to recovery. It was weeks.
