The Senate Will Find Little Time for
Talking About Anything Ex
cept Appropriations.
NIGHT SESSIONS SOW IN ORDER
ji short Rkmi on Sunday Will Bo All
tho Time fire Senate Will Hare
During the Ween-The Situ
ation In the Hour*.
"Washhistory, Feb. 21.—The situation
In tho sona'te today Is not more critical
than It has boon In the closing days of
previous short session of congress.
There Is tlmo tn tvhloh to dispose of all
the ponding appropriation bills unless
a deliberate effort is made to defeat
some of flbem. No such contingency
is deemed likely to arise.
There Is, however, no time to spare,
for the Ibusloos* to be brought forward
during the present week is of great
Importance and is bound So lead to
debate that may run through day amt
night until the session ends. There are
but throe of the thirteen great appro
priation ibllls that have received the
approval of the executive. Six are in
conference and In, some Instances -there
are radical points of difference be
tween the houses involved. Chief
among these Is the diplomatic bill,
which carries the senate appropriation
of $500,000 for the commencement of
the worS of laying a cable between
this country aim the Hawaiian Island*.
Tho house, by a format vote, has re
fused t.o agree .to this amendment ond
the senate, by a good majority, has
directed its managers to Insist upon
It. Some senators are so impressed
with the importance of this proposi
tion that they say they are willing to
permit tho whole bill to fill rather
than allow the amendment to be
stricken out. On the other hand, Mr,
Blackburn, one of the senate conferees,
ia authority for the statement that the
•president would veto the whole meas
ure if It were left In itho bill. The In
dian appropriation bill which went to
conference yesterday will be a matter
bard to manage, for the seriate has en
grafted much new legislation in it.
Four of the appropriation bills still ro-
malu to be acted upon, tho sundry
civil bill having been made the nnfln-
ished business for tomorrow morning.
This is one of the most important of
tho appropriation bills. The amend
ment reported by tho appropriation
committee providing for .the Issue of
treasury certificates to meet the cur
rent expels** of the treasury will
be antagonized by tho silver
men. (Mir. Mills’ proposed amend
ment, of which ho has given notice,
rfipe-al.ng authority ter the !«ue of
bonds In the future wtU also be op
posed by those who look upon the au
thority found lu the resumption act
as the only barrier between the (treas
ury and a sliver basis. The sundry
civil blU also carries tho senate nnieixl-
ment appropriating for tho payment of
sugar bounty eerutxl prior to tho ou-
ootment of the new tutriff law, a mat
ter involving the expemMture of be
tween four ami five million dollars.
This one Item, it is thought, will fur
nish a heavy stumbling block for the
conference commlntec*. The next bills
In order will be the legislative, execu
tive and Juddal naval appropriation
bills. The friends of the navy will en
deavor to see to It that the 1 three battle
ships provldnl for In the bill as re
ported from tho house nre not dis
turbed. A majority of tho senate ap
propriation committee* are said to bo
against the construction of the rhreo
strip*, amt they make a report reduc
ing the number snd thus precipitate n
fight. Advocates of the battle ships
will have the unanimous support of the
sonata naval committees which In-
domed the bltl as It passed the house.
Night sessions will be tho order of
this week. Tho senate will 1>ogin on
Tuesday, when unobjected bills will
be taken up for action. There is a
probability that on Hminlay, March
2. the senate may remain In session all
night, taking a recess for a few hoars
only during the middle of tho day on
Sunday.
No progtalmile in* boon niT.iuged for
the last week of the house, and, under
existing conditions, none can bo out
lined In advance. Tho general defi
ciency appropriation bill ts still undis
posed of and the manager of that
mwisure (Mr. Itrrdktnrtdge) will doubt-
lea, contest with Chairman Hoard-of
tho committee on affairs of :tho District
of Columbia far the right of Way to
morrow. Under the roles, the District
committee Is entitled to the day, hut
the exigencies of tho Merton will prob
ably Induce tho house to proceed with
tho deficiency bill, yielding to the Dis
trict another day If It shall be Ttoslred
by Mr. Heard and hts committee.
Beginning with Tuewlay, It will be
In ordT In the house to move tho sus
pension of the' rules and the passage
thereunder of any bill on the calendar
at any tlmo until tho expiration of the
session. But the rule can bo made ef
fective only by the co-operation of the
speaker, whose acquiescence must be
Kx-ured before the member c«a» be
sure of gittlng recognition. So far
Speaker Crisp appears to have made no
promises In that regard. Thera Is, of
course, tremendous procure brought
to txvur upon tho speiker and the com
mittee on rules for onion* to permit tho
consideration of special measures, but
no agreement has been entered Into.
The Indications are that, with the
.exception of some private* bills, for
whirh ccseldemtlon may be hod by
unanimous oonseig, no further legisla
tion will he wr*tampli*hed at this ses
sion save the appropriation Mils.
Neatly nil of throe now or will be In
the course of a week In conference,
and the eonddenatlon of tho reports on
these will occupy the greater portion
of the week.

Sullivan's Jacksonville Drunk May Have

Savannah, Ga„ Fob. 24.—There Is soma
reason to believe that Sullivan's recent
eacnpado In Florida was n premeditated
affair and not the result of a passion for

The play did not take and he realised
that his company was not composed of

Sullivan’s Florida drunk, though genu

crowd he had with him. Sullivan said
he intended, a* soon as his management
was completed, to go to the Northern
part of Africa, where he would spend
some time in getting hie system In shape,
and he intimated training for his next

Washington, Feb. 24.—Capt. Hemr
W. Hawgato was acquit but today of
the diume of embezzling $11,800 from
tho government while holding the posi
tion ot disbursing officer at the United
States signal service, and at forging
a voucher for that amount 40 even up
his alleged shortage. The verdict wus
rendered about noon today, whan the
Jury hold been looked up nearly
Seventy-Own hours, dipt. Hawguite re

In accordance with his statement,
when court adjourned yest.-rday Judge
MoComa* entered court shortly after
11 o'clook this morning ond received
word that tho Jury had agreed. Some
time was aoettt In securing the attend

A moment later the Jurymen filed In,
atid tlte elderly defendant’s smile
ohantred to an expression of anxiety.
Judge MtaComas had Instructed the
jury to bring verdicts upon three dis
tinct counts: toe first of these wns
whether the government- wa* debarred
from Dime pouting Howgate because of
the statute of llmltuition. An affirma
tive reference on this would have had
the effect of not only (throwing out
the Indictment charging forgery and
embezzlement, but of disposing In a
i like manner of all the other indict
ments against tho defendant and thus
j setting him free.
j Clerk Downs put toe ueu-il question

The above words have been truthfully spoken concenii
Dr, Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets by one who has had abuni
opportunity to observe their more favorable action as a
pared with that of other pills.
Most pills and medicines in use for constipation, in the 1#
run, “make a bad matter worse." Unlike such agents,!
Pierce’s Pellets exert such a tonic or strengthening effect up
the membranes of the stomach and bowels, as to prodt
lasting benefit. Their use can, therefore, be gradually!
continued. With most pills the longer they are taken,!
more dependent upon their use the patient becomes,
so with the “ Pellets." Their secondary effect is to keep
bowels open and regular, not to further constipate. Hec
their great popularity with sufferers from habitual com::;
tion and its attendant discomfort and manifold derange®
The Pellets cure costiveness, or constipation, bilk
ness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, sour stow
loss of appetite, coated tongue, indigestion, or dysp«
windy belchings, “ heartburn,” pain and distress after eat
and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bo*
One little “ Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will re
take them.
Don’t accept some substitute, said to be “just as go°
The substitute costs the dealer less.
It costs you ABOUT the same. His profit is ia
"just as good."

good. It teemed ss if I should die some
