SOME BUS’ DAVS Congress In Its Last Throes Will Present No End of Excitement. Minority Will Resent the Majority's Recent High-Handed Proceedings Up to the Last Minute. The Senate Does Not Expect to Be Relieved From Holding an Extra Session. Washington, March 2.—The Democrats of the house have decided to prosecute their filibuster until congress expires by limitation at noon March 4, and on the three remaining days of the session, therefore, all business will have to be transacted in the face of every obstacle which the minority can interpose. But even by the laborious processes to which the majority will be put, it is believed ample time remains to get through the conference reports on the remaining five appropriation bills. There is a slim chance for much beyond so far as the house is concerned. Twenty-seven bills with senate amendments are on the speaker’s table. One or two of these may get through, but the great majority are doomed to die where they are. The one bill in which the Republican leaders are particularly interested is the Aldrich financial bill, and if it comes over from the senate a way will be found, probably through the operation of a special rule to secure action on it. The complications arising out of the fact that a hostile committee, that on banking and currency, has jurisdiction over the subject. can be overcome by a rule. It is believed that the immigration bill, which passed the senate Saturday in amended form, also will be acted on. One of the things which gives the Republican leaders grave consideration in these closing hours of the session is the weakness of the position of the house conferees on the appropriation bills. With the present tie-up in the house the house conferees cannot go back to the house for instructions without a complete agreement, except at the price of great risk and delay. The senate conferees have not been slow to take advantage of this situation, it is said, and believing that the house is at their mercy, they are insisting on propositions which the house conferees say they would be forced to abandon if the house could be appealed to to uphold the hands of its representatives. The house of representatives held a four hours’ session Sunday and put the District of Columbia appropriation bill through its last parliamentary stage in the face of the Democratic filibuster. Although it was Sunday by the calendar, it was still Thursday, Feb. 26, according to parliamentary fiction. SENATE FORECAST An Extra Session Now Seems Almost Inevitable. Washington. March 2.—The senate has more than enough work to keep it occupied during the last days of the session and do the best it may, there will be much left undone when the gavel of the president pro tem shall fall at the close of the final sitting at noon Wednesday, when the last session of the 57th congress will dose by constitutional limitation. The calendar even at this late oay is quite full, and there are many more bills in committee than have been reported out. In the present congress, like most others, only about 10 or 12 per cent of the bills introduced become laws, but it is also to be said that the record of bills introduced far exceeds that of any previous congress. Tuesday’s session will be continued until noon Wednesday and the senate will be in almost continuous session day and night until then. Os the supply bills, the sundry civil, postoffice, naval and fortifications bills arc still In the hands of conference committees, but there are no points in dispute in connection with any of them which are likely to be difficult of adjustment. Aside from the appro priation bills and conference reports, preference will be given to the Aldrich bond deposit bill. There is also great anxiety to got action on the Philippine tariff bill. A final attempt will be made to press the Panama canal treaty to a conclusion in the hope that Senator Morgan may relent in his opposition and allow the treaty to be ratified rather than force an extra session of the senate. His friends say, however, that he has no such intention, and they add that he is willing to accept the full responsibility for a called session. Senators generally, therefore, have given up all hope o." avoiding the extra session, and now are concerned principally as to the time it shall begin and the length of tim<> it shall occupy. Some of them are advising the president not to ask the body to reassemble before Monday the 9th Inst., while Senator Aldrich Is urging that the call be issued for the sth Inst., the day after the dissolution of the present congress. The principal If not the only duty of tl|| extra session .will be the consideration of the Panama treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but th« . %

senate may if it so desires take up the question of th* reorganization of the committees. No disposition toward this step has yet manifested itself, and it does not now seem probable. VICIOUS TENDENCIES Other Stories About Alfred Knapp Now Coming Out Hamilton. Ohio, March 2. —Alfred Knapp was visited Sunday by Herman I.ittlenmn of Cincinnati, father of little Emma Littleman, the victim of Knapp’s first murder in Cincinnati, Littleman was unable to identify Knapp as any man whom he had ever seen or known. While convicted of minor offenses. Knapp was never charged with capital offenses until his brother-in-law last week started an investigation. With all the charges of incendiarism, robbery and other crimes, it is conceded that his predominant trait is that of brutality. Two of his terms in penitentiaries were for criminal assaults that were not followed by murders. In the few months he lived in Hamilton he had shown these vicious tendencies. W. B. Carr, who employed Knapp, says Knapp one day while at work on the third floor of the mill, saw a well-known young man accompanied by a lady passing in the street. He had a large chisel in his hand, which he hurled at the couple in pure devilish abandon, as he knew them not. Later he attempted to kill an unknown passing woman by hurling a chunk of iron at her in a similar way. Knapp does not use tobacco in any form and was not known as a drinker. He is quite a reader and is kept supplied with magazines and books, but not allowed to see newspapers. He enjoys card playing with other prisoners. Cincinnati Police Busy. Cincinnati. March 2. —Since it has been determined to arraign Alfred A. Knapp at Hamilton for the murder of Hannah Goddard, wife No. 3, the efforts of the city and county officials here have not been relaxed in securing evidence regarding the murders of Emma Littleman. Mary E. Eckert and Jennie Conners, wife No. 2. the three crimes which Knapp confessed to committing in Cincinnati. While neither the parents nor the brother, Cyrus Knapp, nor the sisters, Mrs. King and Mrs. Wenzel, of the Hamilton prisoner, are under surveillance here, the officers are incidentally keeping track of them. It seems that the family all agree in their statements about Alfred being insane, but they differ in other matters. A GRIM POSSIBILITY War Between Turkey and Russia Is Gravely Hinted at. St. Petersburg. March 2.—Some publicists are of the opinion that only the sternest language toward Turkey can prevent a war between Russia and Turkey in the spring. They believe that Turkey will pursue bands of Macedonian revolutionists across the Bulgarian frontier and that public opinion will compel Russia to interfere. The Russians thoroughly understand that a war with Turkey will be a more severe one than that of 1878. Officers are quoted as saying that the Turkish army is the best in the world owing to its German organization and arma ment. There is an inclination here to anticipate German financial support of Turkey, and in view of the situation forebodings of a clash with Turkey are freely expressed in private, although they are carefully suppressed in the newspapers. Release from Snowbanks. St. Johns. N. F„ March 2. —One of the two snowbound expresses returned here Sunday. The train left this city seventeen days ago and only succeeded in getting half way across the island. The passengers tell thrilling stories of their experiences amid the snowdrifts. The other express is still stuck fast, but the passengers left it and walked across thirty miles of snowfields to an open section of the line, and will reach here the middle of the week. A High Sense of Duty. Romo. March 2. —Dr. Lapponl. the pope’s physician, made Sun lay morning a last effort to induce his holiness to renounce his reception of the cardinals. He remonstrated with him. saying: "Your holiness, my duty is to point out that your health would greatly benefit by your resting today.” Th" pope replied: "My dear doctor before your valuable advice comes my duty, which I shall perform until the end.” The audience was held in the pope’s prl’ ate library, and Leo XIII. spoke continuously for half an hour with the forty-two cardinals present.

Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly action that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscle, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of file body, but it will sustain eyerv other part. Yet, however good vour food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Blackburn A Christen s.
