A WEEK OF BILLS

Supply Measures Will At- : tract Current Attention of the Senate.

PENSION BILL DELAYED

TMs Measure Held for Possible Additions Made Necessary toy Additional Ijegrislat ion.

Postoffice flatter? "Will Engage ttie - Further Attention of the " House.

Washington, March 21. The present week in the senate will be devoted almost entirely to appropriation bills, beginning on Tuesday with that for the District of Columbia and following with the Indian and pension bills. Neither the district nor the Indian bill has been reported from committee, but both are promised early in the week and they will take precedence over the pension bill notwithstanding the latter is now on the calendar. The pension bill is held for possible additions made necessary by additional legislation, but its consideration will not be long delayed. It is not expected there will be any effort to increase the amount carried by the bill on account of the recent executive pension order. Whatever sum may te required to carry the order into effect will be incorporated in a general deficiency bill. Unobjected bills on the calendar were taken up today and further consideration may be given to Senator Fairbanks' bill providing for a new department building in this city.

IN THE HOUSE

Adjournment Taken Today in Honor of C;ad Representative. Washington, March 21. The postoffice, the military academy and the sundry civil appropriation bills constitute the work mapped out for the house this eek. Today the house adjourned early owing to the death of Representative Thompson, of Alabama, who died in is city Sunday cf pneuiibma. The postoffice bill is pending and several knotty questions, such as rural free delivery salaries, railway mail subsidies and railway mail service, are likely to prolong its consideration for several days. The military academy bill is not expected to consume much time. The sundry civil bill probably will be ready the latter part of the week, and its consideration will extend into the following week. Present indications are that no other matters of importance are likely to be injected into the proceedings of the week. The postoffice report will bo cared for hereafter by the McCall committee which is to sit in open session during the week.

THEY WANT HELP

'Swarthout, editor of the Manila Times, president ot the Merchants Publishing company, of the Far Eastern Press club, and of the Manila Press club, was a passenger on the steamer Shawmut, arriving here Sunday, bound for Washington, to lay the grievances of the white residents before congress. He says the great question thore now is the scarcity oi labor, the Filipinos declining to work at any price. Mr. Maculloch, head of the biggest printing and publishing firm in the islands, also was on his way to San Francisco seeking labor. He says his business ha3 been practically suspended owing to the impossibility of obtaining laborers at reasonable rates.

Poses as a Martyr. Salt, Lake, Utah, March 21. President Angus M.

COMPLICATIONS CREATED

Ruling as to Legislative Districts Brings Out Inquiries. Indianapolis, March 21 Some queer complications are arising out of the rule laid down by the Republican state convention to provide that in joint legislative districts the counties having representatives of their own shall only be entitled to deleftes for thoir excess vote above the senatorial or representative unit. When there are counties in a district that are without representation of their own the rule is a good thing as the big counties can't "hog the ring" so to speak. The peculiar and interesting complications arise in joint districts like Boone, Hamilton, Madison and Montgomery counties. Boone, Hamilton and Montgomery each have a representative. Madison has two. So the excess vote rule applies to each county. The trouble arises out of the fact that in Boone and Hamilton the excess gives them but one vote. Montgomery is entitled to three but Madison, the big county, has enough excess to give it six votes. Here will be a joint convention of four counties with but eleven delegates and the big county against which the rule was aimed, having all the advantage. The state committee receives a number of letters each day asking for a minute construction of the rule.

The candidates have another month to work for places on the Republican state ticket as the convention will be held the fourth week of next month. There is much interest in the contests but it may be stated fairly that the Interest is not so deep as it was four years ago when there were six active candidates for governor. There has not been the usual talk of deals this time but perhaps it is a trifle early for that. Hanly is still a strong favorite in certain quarters for governor and it looks as if he is increasing his hold upon the situation yet in politics "there is many a slip twix the cup and lip" so what looks like a sure thing now may be battered down at the convention. The frienus of Wm. L. Taylor are confident that he is gaining ground every day and that he will be a power at the convention. The followers of Warren G. Sayre and of Judge Penfield also express every confidence in the outcome of their respective candidates.

Can Hearst land the Indiana delegation to the St. Louis convention? The question is being regarded very seriously by politicians. That the edi' tor-candidate's strength has been under-estimated is now being reluctantly conceded by members of the regular Democratic organization who thought they would have smooth sailing in lining up the Hoosier delegation fcr Parker or Gorman. The fact that such men as Chas. F. S. Neal, J. Oscar Henderson and Daniel W. Sims have identified themselves with the Hearsl movement has caused more than a ten-day's surprise, as it was very naturally expected that they would line up with the old crowd. There is not the slightest doubt but that most of the party leaders in Indiana are against Hearst but the New Yorker doesn't seem a bit disturbed as he ie going right ahead with his plans to capture the state delegation.

An amazing feature connected with the visit of the Hearst boomers to Indianapolis was the antics of the horde of political grafters that infests the city. There are a lot of this class of men here who are simply waiting around eager to devour anyone who comes along with the cash. The much heralded "cheek and checkbook" campaign that Hearst is conducting appealed to their hearts and they fairly swarmed about the Claypool hotel where Hearst's agents were stopping. They were for Hearst as a matter of course, but they were after the money good and strong. The statement by Hearst's agents that no money would be expended except in legitimate organization may cool their ardor.

There may yet be a large field of candidates for lieutenant governor before the Republican state convention. It was stated here today by a prominent politician that Walter Ball of Muncie has fully determined to enter the race. He wanted to become a candidate sometime ago but decided not to be. It is said, however, that friends have induced him to change his mind and that he is about ready with his announcement. He will only have a month In which to work but his friends are sure he can accomplish wonders in that time. The First district may also present a candidate as it Is said that a boom is being started for John W. Brady of Princeton.

CHURCH WAS OFFENDED

Because Notre Dame Didn't Like Treatment of Gustavus Adolphus Indiana Is Now Out.

Peculiar Situation Presented in the Coialng College Oratorical Contest.

Indianapolis, March 21. After nine hours of wrangle the state oratorical association of Indiana decided that the oration of Luther Feeger of Earlham was discourteous to Notre Dame and could not be delivered at the interstate contest unless numerous changes were made in it. The speech was given by Feeger at the state contest held in this city last February and won the state contest, which entitled him to contest in the interstate event. The subject is "Gustavus Adolphus," and contained, it is said, attacks on the Catholic church which are said to be untrue to history, and on this ground Notre Dame asked Feegef to change his oration. Feegor refused to do this, stating that the time was not sufficient. B. V. Kanaley, the Notre Dame representative on the state oratorical board, asked that a special meeting of the association be called to consider the matter. This was done, and representatives of the seven Indiana colleges in the association met in this city to take up the question. When the final vote was taken all the institutions, with the exception of Earlham, voted that the change must be made before the speech could be delivered. Feeger stated that he would not make the required changes, and in this case the representatives decided that Indiaaa would not be represented in the contest.

CRACKSMEN ROUTED

Sensational Battle With Burglars in Amboy Bank. Amboy, Ind., March 21. In a running battle with burglars Cashier Ora Ttkinson, of the Miami County bank at Amboy, was shot in the right hip and painfully wounded after the cracksmen, who had blown open the safe, were driven away, leaving $40,000 in booty behind them. T. M. Warren saw two men working in the bank as he was returning from a train and called the cashier, Ora Atkinson. They armed themselves and went to the bank, arriving after the burglars had made two explosions, blowing off the outer doors of the safe. They fired on the burglars and frightened the cracksmen away just as they were about to open the shattered door of the cash box. The burglars fired in return as they fled r id one shot struck Atkinson in the hip, wounding him quite painfully but not fatally. It is believed that one of the safe blowers was wounded, but they made their escape with $20 taken from an outside cash drawer.

Boys Declare Against Cigarettes. Kokomo, Ind., March 21. After a prolonged crusade, Professor R. A. Ogg, superintendent of the Kokomo schools, has banished the cigarette from the public schools. Kokomo now has an army of 3,000 pupils pledged against the use of tobacco in every form. Prof. Ogg has made a study of the evil effects of cigarette smoking among children and, aided by the faculty and board of education, began a war of extermination against the weed. As a result of several courts of inquiry about a score of tobacco dealers were arrested for selling to children in violation of law. The boys were made to tell where they bought tobacco and it is now an impossibility for boys under sixteen years of age to buy tobacco in this place, and the cigarette habit is entirely broken up in the schools.
