2 PASSED Bl 1 HURRY. Senate Took Speedy Action on the Deficiency Bill Giving Fifty Million For WAR PURPOSES. It Will Be Signed By the President Tomorrow and Reed Signed Today IHUfi MORE Will'S Seem to be the Cry Now in all the Countries, and Even Great Brit tain is Adding to her Strength Washington, March 9—“ Senator Hale re ported the national defense bill in the sen ate and it passed without any debate. The yeas and nays were taken, but there was not .a dissenting vote. All the pairs were broken and those present voted in the af flmative. Seventy-six senators voted for the bill. Two hours before the seriate convened tho wpetetnltors began to appear in tne gal leries, and long before 12 o’clock the pub lic and reserved galleries were tilled. In the corridors outside long lines of surging people were anxious to secure ad mission. In fact, it is thought the sen ate’s action today might mark the begin ning of a new era in tihe couullry’s his tory. On the floor of the senate the attend ance was unusually largo when the presi dent’s gavel called that body to order. Tho members of the appropriations committee, including Chairman Allison, of lowa, and of the foreign relations com m'ltteo, including Chairman Davis, of Min nesota. were in their seats. In addition several members and officers of the house were in the chamber. •At t'he conclusion of the morning’s busi ness, Hale, of Maine, of the appropriations committee, quickly rose and said: "I report from the committee on appro priations, without amendment, an act to supply tho urgent deficiencies for the cur rent year, and 1 ask that it be placed on •passage.” The 'bill, which was the national defense measure, was then, amid intense silence, read in full, and there beling no amend ment to the bill it was placed on passage. Hale asked tha't the yeas and nays be called. Such unanimity as the roll call disclosed was as unusual as It was signifi cant. Within twenlty-six minutes after the senate had convened the roll call had been completed and the vice president an nounced the bill passed, severity-six sena tors voting in the affirmative and none in the negative. As the vice president made the an nouncement a slight ripple of applauad ran through the galleries but 'the members of the senate remained calm and dignified. Chandler, of New Hampshire, presented the following: “That in conducting the Inquiry into the cause of the destruction of the battleship 'Maine, in Havana harbor on Feb. 15, under •the resolution of the senate on Feb. 21, the committee on naval affairs is hereby au thorized to semi for persons and papers, to employ a stenographer and make an inves tigation by the full commli'ttee or by sub committees thereof, the expense of such investigation 'to be paid from the contin gent fun of the senate." The resolution was referred to the com mittee on contingent expenditures. •After a short executive session the sen ate 'adjourned. PLAGUE RIOTS Occurred in Bombay Today, Resulting in Loss of Life..

March 9—The big national defense bill will probably be law tomor row. McKinney., the enrolling clerk of the House in anticipation of the passage of the bill by the senate had the bill printed bn parchment yesterday ready for formal en rollment, but. it was not anticipated that the bill would be passed by the senate ■without debate. The parchment copy there fore is still at tho government printing office when the bill passed the senate and was returned to the house. McKinney, as soon as he learned of the action of the senate, telegraphed the gov ernment printing office to hurry the bill to the house by a special mounted mes senger. It soon reached there, and after comparison by the chairman of the com mittee or enrolled bills, was signed by Speaker Reed. The adjournment of the senate, however, prevented Mr. Hobart from signing the bill and It will go to the president to morrow . PREPARING Spain Sends Soldiers and Ammunition to Cuba. Madrid.

Pritch ard. chairman of the cWfimittee on civil service, today presented the. report that the committee on the recent investigation of rhe ' lassitied service is divided under ’ two heads: 1. “Firtft, the executive has the power to make such modifications as may be found advisable, and therefore not any legisla tion is needed.” “Secondly, the committee is agreed that classification has been too extensive, and many places that have been classified will be excluded from the classification, so that appointments may be made to them, not through examination, but at the pleasure of the head of the dejiartment or the bu reau, The committee, therefore, h of the opin ion that the president should make certain modifications in the existing civil service rules, and should restore to the her.ds of departments and the heads of bureaus the appointment of certain classes of officials. The committee, however, recognizes that its province in the materjs purely advis ory, since it has no I'efcisthtion to propose. STILL AFTER SHIPS. Spain is Hunting Them in Every Direction in England. London, Ma,reh .ft,—The World corres pondent saw the head pf one of 'the larg est and best known’ Shipbuilding firms on the Clyde, who said: .-. “I know positively that Spain is hunting not only for cruisers, but for eight fast steamships to be converted into unarraor ed cruisers, fitted with quick fireing guns. “They have been on the lookout for weeks, but the difficulty was a lack of money. No British shipbuilder would permit her to move a craft without payment. I have also just heard here of the contemplated purchases which are hanging fire for fi nancial reasons, about being completed, 'that tire Spanish government made ar rangements for a loan through four banks Os Paris, with a French syndicate. A sen timent and serf-interest prompts France to assist 'Spain against the United States. France is Lhe only European country in which Spain stands the slightest chance of obtaining financial help.” JEKYL IS AFRAID A'Spanish Cruiser Might Bombard All the Fine Houses. Brunswick, Ga., March 9.—From reliable sources Hearn tonlight that a delegation of Jekyl Islanders are en route to Wash ington to Interview President McKinley and his cabinet. They are headed by Francis -P. Baker, secretary of the Jekyl Island club. The object is to secure coast defences for Jekyl, and suggest t'he same for St. Simon’s Island for mutual protection. The lodati'on of both makes such protection ab solutely necess'ary. They are within easy range of guns twelve miles off shore, and could be de stroyed very quickly. Both Jekyl and St. •Simon’s protect Brunswick from serious bombardment, but they are themselves in a bad situation from shots at sea. It is •with a full realisation of this fact tha. t)he delegation has gone on. They are ex pected to request the location of monster disappearing guns on the south cud of both Jekyl and St. Simon’s. The club owns Jekyl and over $1,000,000 worth of improvements thereon. A.mong the ninety-seven members are: John D. Rockefeller, Pieropont Morgan, Howard Gould, Chauncey M. Depew, Cornelius N. Bliss, Joseph Pulitzer, W. K. Vanderbilt, 'Marshall P. Field, and others equally well known. President McKinley is an honor ary members of the club, and was to have visited Jekyl last month, but was delayed by the Maine disaster. It is expected that the delegation will be favorably received at Washington and recognition given the Islanders. WAR SHIPS In Hong Kong Cause The Pol iticians There Uneasiness.

Masill'on, 0., March 9. —One of the spec tacles of the now probable war with Spain will probably be that of General Jacob S. Coxey’s f ambus army pf commonwealers marching to t aid of Uncle Sam with their commander at their head. Coxey, who has just returned from a southern trip, and holds McKinley and Cleveland partially responsible for t'he Maine disaster, because they did not long ago grant Cuba belligerent rights. He approves McKinley’s present caution, but declares that he should recommend the issue of $500,000,00 in legal tender notes for harbor defense and the navy. “So that the honor of the flag may be upheld,” says the General. Coxey would not say positively whalt ac tion he would take iu Case of war. He’was asked if he would rally the comm'onweal ers to go to t'he front, and said: “It would depend on circumstances. But I iwill say this: My past record and en deavors to alleviate misery are indications of whalt I would do in such a crisis.” BRYAN IN ROME. The Great Leader Warmly Greeted in That City. Rome, Ga., March 9.—William Jennings ißryau spoke to an audience at the Nevin opera house last night that completely filled the house, and many who applied for admission were turned away.

He Says That Chances for War are Considered Very Remote. New York, March 9 —Commander W. H. Brownsen, of the United States navy, who sailed for Southampton on the American liner, St. Paul today said: “I am going to England under orders direct from the navy department, not from the president. “My mission is to prepase for the ex igencies of the situation and see what can be had and what can be done in the case of war, the possibilities of which, however, we think are very remote. “I may be absent a month, perhaps longer. “I expect to be two weeks in Lhndon, but can’t tell where I shall go after reach ing England.” The cohimander’s attention was called to the published statements of foreign ship builders trying to sell poor stock to the United States. “You may rest assured,” said he, “that •they won’t sell me any- trash.” Charles H. Cramp, the ship builder, also sailed on the St. Paul. Further than to say that he’s going abroad on a business trip, Cramp refused to talk. LIBRARIES OF THE WORLD. . Method of Boiling Down Beats Anything Yet On Record. Pitsburg, Pa., March 9.—'He’s a “natural 'born condenser!” 'Professor Reginald lA. Fessenden, of the 'Western University of Pennsylvania, who has beeh experimenting for some time on-the application of pho tographic processes to useful purposes, has perfected a method <oy which a library can be condensed into a few pages. Professor Fessenden’has put this method to practice in his own work, and finds it cheaper, more rapid and convenient than any method heretofore used. 'He believes that the extended use of the photographic method for the publishing of books will create a revolution in the dif fusion of knowledge. “The smallest writingso far mentioned,” said Professor Fessenden, “is 6,000,000 words within the space of one square inch. •A li'tle calculation shows that letters one fifth the size could be plainly read by a microscobe of the highest possible power, so 'that the limit would be 150,000,000'words per square inch. An ordinary magazine contains thirty-two pages of reading mat ter, with 2,000 words each. A photograph is plate one inch square would thus con tain the whole of the reading matter of the magazine for about fifty years. This is almost inconceivable, for 300 volumes of 1,000 pages each form a fair sized lib.rlary.” ORIGINAL PACKAGES South Carolina Controversy Will Be Trans ferred Hither. Dawson, Ga., March 9.—A carload of whisky was received by W. H. Plumb to day in original packages. Mr. Plumb will soon Dave in operation an original pack age house in opposition to t’he dispensary. It will be remembered that a clause was embodied in the Dawson dispensary bill fixing the tax on original package houses at SIO,OOO to prevent opposition to the dis pensaries. M r - Plumb seems satisfied chat he wi'll have ng tTPUifile In sustaining his 'action in court should he bep opposed by the dispensary authorities. Under a de cision of a United States judge in South Carolina, the sale of whisky shipped from another stlate cannot be prohibited in quantities in which it is packed for ship ment, and it is probably under this ruling i that Mr. Plumb expects to do business. A conflict between Mr. Plumb and the dis pensary commissioners is imminent, and the pyfeomp will be awaited with interest.

The best time to advertise u all the OPTIONS ON FOURJMSERS McKinley Buys War Vessels Now Building In This Country. FOR JAPANESE . Five Vessels Now Being Built in England Are Offered This Government. New York, March 9.—The World pub lishes the following special dispatch from its Washington corespondent: “The announcement had scarcely beep made today that Representative Cannon had introduced a bil for a grant of $50,000,- 000 for national defense, wnen it was given out that McKinley had obtained options on the two cruisers now being constructed in this country for the Japanese government. As the World has shown, the president has had offers of warships of various kinds from nearly every point where such ves sels are constructed, and it is thought that his prompt action today demonstrates that he will take evej-y passible step to recruit the navy to such a. point that its supe riority over that of Spain cannot be Ques tioned in any matter. He has a list of 'everw warship available for purchase by the United States. One of the cruisers upon which option was secured today is being built at the Cramp .ship yard, and the other at the yards of -the Union Iron Works, San- Francisco. The opinion is exprescsd by naval experts that by omitting all the elaborateness of detail in the superstruct ure and interior work, the vessels will be ready for sea in about three months. These warships are regarded by the navy department as the most desirable vessels that could Ibe obtained. The qualtiy of the material entering into the construction is known and the work of building has been performed under the eyes of naval officers stationed at the respective yards supervising the construction of United States vessels. The two cruisers are.of the twin-screw type, each of about 5,000 tons displacement. They .must fill the contract required by showing a speed of twenty-two knots per hour. They would designated as second rate vessels, in the same class as the Chi cago, Baltimore and Philadelphia. It is the intention to utilize them in the event of war as comerce destroyers. The navy department is in receipt of ad vices from London that representatives of the United States there have options on five vessels being constructed in Great Britain. It is not known what rates have been agreed upon, but the price is not believed to be in excess of SIO,OOO or $15,000 per month for each vesel. The administration desires to get pos session of several of the larger torpedo boat destroyers, such as the Sokul, of the Russian navy, vessel of three hundred tons and able to keep the sea in bad weather— a weak point with otic own boats—and capable of enormous speed, such as thirty two knots. But such crafts are not for sale at all times; they are built to order generally and could not be procured in this manner in less than six months from the date oif contract even in Europe, unless special prices were paid. There is no disposition on the part of the navy department to lumber the navy with a lot of unserviceable craft, but rather to get a few of the best vessels to be had. During the day Secretary Long received a call from A, F. Lane, reoresnting the .Maxim-Nordenfeldt Company and the agent for several war vessels low nearing completion in large foreign ship yards. These include two cruisers of the type of the Cincinnati, which are designed to be twenty-knot vessels, and two iron-clads of ft urteen knots, which would be called third-rate battleships under our rating. These are now open to purchase.’ Mr. Lane regards these ships at first class in every particular, as they were designated on modern principles and are being built by one of ths- leading ship building firms of Europe. They are all along towards completion, and all four, it is said, could be commissioned with a few months. They were originaly designed for one of the 'South American republics, but there is said to be no obligation whicn would pre vent their acquisition by the United States. 'A fair proportion of the $50,000,000 would have to go to the war department. Abun dant supplies of shot and shell and powder are needed. The army is as short as the navy of these stores. While no exact estimate has been made Os the share of the $50,000,000 appropria tion to be allotted to ammunition, it is roughly estiniated that at least $10,000,000 woull be so assigned owing to the enpr-r mous cost of refiilling the ammunition chests of the warships now In service. At present there is not -enough ammunition on hand for one refilling beyond that now on board. A single refilling costs $3,000,- 000. ENGLAND’S NAVY.

London, March 9—The presentation of the British naval estimates yesterday in creasing the expenditures by $7,202,000 adding to the personnel of the navy by 6,340 men and providing for the building of three new battleships, four armored cruisprs and four sloops war has been re ceived with much satisfaction by the press ■and the public, The' total appropriation for the year—sllß,B9o,ooo has never been exceeded.
