Savannah, Georgia pmn OSlf r .Mei' r= ? r* 1 * a : Ulh n the Women a Union, who are m tu Mr. Pettus of Alabama Makes Constitutional Argument. HE OPPOSES THE MEASURE Biii introduced to Promute Two Rear Admirals to Grade of Vice Admiral, Professedly in interests of Sampson and ; cliley. Washington, Feb. lb — Iu pursuance of previous notice, J.Ir. Pettus of Ala bama addressed the senate today, oppos ing the ship subsidy bill. Referring to former Senator Ed munds, reputed ro be the author of the original subsidy bill, Mr. Pettus said that the distinguished Vermonter had demonstrated “his ability to cipher around the truth.” He thought the provisons of the measure justified him in saying that Mr. Edmunds, as a sena tor of the United States, could never have written this bill. Mr. Pettus argued that the bill ought be passed, not only because of viaj. a ueiegiriou Christia u Temperan interested iu having cue bill amended so to provide for the closing of the ex position on Sunday and to prohibit the sale of liquor on tiie grounds, aiso were in the gallery to watch the fight. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the special committee on the Lou isiana Purchase exposition, moved the passage, under suspension of the rules, of the bill appropriating $5,000,009 for the exposition. A second was demanded and ordered. This action allowed ten minutes debate upon a side. Before the debate begun, Mr. Lattimer of South Carolina asked unanimous consent to offer the Charles ton (S. C.) exposition bill as an amend ment, but Mr. Hopkins of Illinois ob jected. The St. Louis exposition bill passed the house—191 to 41. The result was received with applause. THE FIGHT IS OFF FINALLY BURNED IN A FOREST FIRE not to the millions it would draw from the treasury, but also because of the princi ples involved. He made a constitu tional argument against the measure. Senator Halo, chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, introduced a bill for the revival of the grade of vice admiral in the navy and authorizing the president to appoint two rear ad mirals to that ofiice. The bill is in the | interest of Admirals Sampson am. 1 Schley and is intended to aid in solving j the problem of their promotion as well j as the promotion of other officers who j served with them in the Spanish war. j Our Trouble With Russia.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.—The proposed fight here tonight between Jeffries and Ruhlin, that was enjoined and after ward postponed, was today declared off and no other time or place suggested for it. Managers Brady and Madden at noon today received from the Atlas National bank $19,000 forfeit money 011 deposit, there. As each had put up §2,500, they got that part back as even money, but of the §5,000 that the Saengerfest- Ath letic association put up Brady got §3,750 and Madden only §1,2? 0. Both managers insist that they have no other time or place in view for the meeting of Jeffries and Rnhliu. There will be nothing more heard of prize fights here—not even of an appeal ing the injunction in court.

The woods had been set on fire since they were killed, aud Mrs. Wilson’s left leg was burned off at the knee and Hamilton’s clothing burned to shreds, thtir bodies presenting a ghastly appear ance, bat it was easy to positively identify them. The couple disappeared a week ago. Monday morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Wilson left the house, saying she would be out for a few moments. Later she was seen by Mrs. Guthrie, who re sides in the same house, in company with Will Hamilton, at the corner of Conrtland and Edge wood avenues.

The fact in tiie River and Harbor Measure as Reported. Washington, Feb. 20.—The river aud harbor bill reported to the senate has been cut about §15,000,000, but the re duction has been made in such a way that none of the Georgia items are af fected, except that for the inner bar at Brunswick, aud that can stand reduc tion better than any other item.

This cut in the total of the river and harbor bill in creases its chances for becoming a law at this session.
