DEBATE KILL BE RESUMED Senator Who Will Speak oa tbe Qas tlon Tbe Dupont Cut Tem porarily Laid Aside-Basins Before the Uoaae. Washington, March 15. It Is prob able that the week opening; tomorrow will witness the conclusion of the Cu ban debate in the senate, for Mr. Sher man, in charge of the conference re port, has given notice that he intends to press the question to an early vote. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the ex chairman of the committee, has the floor on the report whenever It Is called up. It is not unlikely that he will reply to some of the strictures upon the mem bers of the senate made by Minister De Lome. Others who Intend to speak on the Hubject are Senators Piatt, of Con necticut; While, of California, and probably Butler, of North Carolina. The chief objection to the conference report is the acceptance by the senate conference of the third clause of the house resolution, relating to Interven tion. Thin Identical proposition was submitted to the senate committee, and after mature deliberation, was reject ed. One prominent senator, who ln lends to sprak on this subject, aays that if the senate committee had reported thin clause in Its own resolutions they would not have received one-third of the vote of the senate. The objection to this clause is so bit ter that it is not Improbable the report may be sent back to conference, al though such a contingency is not seri ously expected. One senator who has given the ques tion careful consideration Is authority for the statement that the report will be agreed to, but thut the vote against it will be at least twenty instead of six as against the original proposition. DUPONT CASE. The Dupont case has been temporlly laid uslde to take up the senate Arkan sas compromise bill agreed to last year by Secretaries Carlisle and Smith on the one side, and Uovernor Clark, of Arkansas, on the other, whereby all In debtedness on the part of each is to be dually settled by the payment by the state of Arkansas to the United States of $573 in money, unci of one hundred and sixty, one thousand dollar bonds of the state held by the United States. There is much opposition to the bill. Mr. Lodge has given notice that to morrow he will speak on the Immigra tion bill, reported from his committee. Mr. Pugh, of Alabama, will address the senate upon the tariff bill, his remarks, It Is understood, will relate more to the freo coinage of silver than to the tariff. When- the consideration of the Du pont case Is resumed, Mr. Oray, of Del aware, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Burrows and Mr. George will speak. Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, will also, during the week, call up his res olution to prohibit the further issuance of bonds and make a speech thereon. The legislative appropriation bill will be reported Wednesday. BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE. The programme of business In the house this week presents a varied char acter. Tomorrow will be committee suspension day, when chairmen of com mittees may call up measures for pas sage under suspension or the rules. Among measures thus brought up it is expected will be the bill relating to the location of homesteads in Oklahoma: also two or three other bills approved by the committee on public lands. Chairman Dtngley, of the committee on ways and means, will ask the house on Tuesday to take up the bill reported last week by Mr. Payne, to amend the customs administrative act. He Is confident that It can be disposed of In that day's session.- It will be followed by the naval appropriation bill. The debate on this bill will probably extend over several days, and In the course of It some remarks regarding our foreign relutlons are likely to be made. The re port of election committee No. 2, de claring vacant the seat of Charles J. Boatner (Democrat) from the Fifth Louisiana district, Is a privileged ques tion which may be taken up, but the lllkellhood of reaching It Is rather re mote. BOOKMAKERS FLEECED. Keepers of Chleago Poolrooms Swindled by Aid of Bogus Telegrams. Chicago, March 15. One of the most extensive and successful swindles In the history of racing in the United States was perpetrated on the pool room keepers of the country yesterday. The conspirators had agents In every city where gambling on racing Is carried on and money was placed with freedom which indicates that the schemers were backed with all the capital necessary to make the fraud a gigantic success. That their plana were carefully laid Is evidenced by the fact that money was distributed by telegraph from New Or leans and Chicago, twenty-four hours in advance. The last race at New Or leans was selected as the medium for the fraud. When the race was finished the news was flashed from the track all over the country that the Royal Nettle had won. Soon after the bets had been paid the suspicions of the bookmakers were aroused but It was more than an hour after the race had been won that they learned that Plug had come in first. In Chicago Royal Nettie was played heavily in every pool room In town, and It is believed that the agents of the conspirators secured from $15,000 tp $18, 000. Owing to the reticence of the pool managers who refuse to talk on the subject It Is impossible to give the ex act loss. The conspirators are ' not known here, and it is not believed that the rooms will recover a cent of the money paid. ' ' ' ' - CRAZY ON A PULLMAN CAR. ' . i i 1 1 Hi . . Chicafoan Cleana Out a Sleeper" and Is Left In Solitary Possession Terre Haute, Ind., March 15. J. D. Cum..Angs, residing at 540 Sixty-second street, Chicago, went suddenly insane last night on a Chicago and Eastern Illinois train. He cleared the Pullman coach with his revolver, and held un disturbed possession until the train reached Terre Haute this morning. It was a wild and exciting ride for the 100 passengers on board. Shortly after Danville was passed passengers in all degrees of attire darted out of the coach, leaving Cummings in the car, brandishing a revolver and ohoutlng at the top of his voice that no one should rob him. Conductor Bnllou locked the door and left him in solitary posses sion. When Terre Haute was reached Cum mings was taken to jail for safe-keep-'. ing. WAY CLEAR FOR CRISP. Secretary Smith Not to Be a Candidate for Senator from Georgia. Washington, March 15. It is an nounced here seml-offlclally that Sec retary Hoke Smith will not be a candi date for senator from Georgia to suc ceed General Oordon. The election of ex-Senator Crisp to that office Is now generally conceded, and Mr. Crisp is already receiving the congratulations of his friends. Secretary Smith has made a vigorous sound money cam paign in Georgia, not in his own behalf, but for the purpose of preventing the free allverltes carrying a solid delega ' tlon to the Chicago convention. , The secretary la a forceful campaign ter, and ha met with gratifying suc cess. A majority of the Georgia Demo crats are still for silver, however, and will choose ex-Speaker Crisp for their senator for the six-year term, beginning next March. ' j (' VICTORY FOR A REED LEADER.

After a page of his early history and the publication of several letters from Europe, the papers say lieaufort was present at thu assassination of the Czar, and afterwards married the sister of the man wtiothrew the bomb. A let ter from her Is tippendedl The whole story is so remarkable for its many direct statements that it is either the truth or was Inspired by lieaufort him self.

How a Defendant Got Clear of a Plain .. Case Against Him. . W. A. Woolwlne, of Los Angeles, who was here In the interest of the San Pedro harbor project, formerly lived in Tennessee, and tells the following story of Judge D. M. Key.iow retired: A mountaineer who seemed to be half witted was brought Into court charged with moonshinlng. "Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked the judge. "I don't know what yo' mean?" re turned the prisoner. "Did you or did you not make liquor Without paying license?" "Course I dld.It's good likker, jedge." ''Well, didn't you know it was wrong?" " 'Course not. Pap made It, an' he wer a good man, a preacher." There- was such a vacant look In the marl's face that Judge Key believed him to be semi-idiotic. Turning to the district attorney he said: "I don't know what to do In this case. The man is evidently non compos mentis." "Til tell yo'. Jedge." suggested the culprit, "sposln" we Jess let thh thing drap on-both sides." . And the case was "drapped." Tilt MEDICINE GOOD. Bat the Farmer Didn't Know How to Ad minister It. From the, Chicago Tribune. ' "Say," complained the customer In the faded brown hat, "that hng cholera mixture you sold me ain't worth shucks." "How did you give It?" 'Give It? I didn't give It to them at all. I put some of it in the trough and the hogs wouldn't touch It. I mixed it with their feed, but It didn't do any good. They won't have it at any price." "Certainly not." replied the druggist's clerk. "You don't thing hogs like medi cine any better than children like It. do you? The trouble was that you didn't administer it the right way. You should take each hog semrately. put a rope round its neck, lead It up to a tree with a strong limb, throw the rope over the limb and pull the hog up till It stands on its hind feet. This will cause It to open Its mouth. Then, with "a strong iron spoon you Insert the medi cine Into the animal's mouth, being careful to see that none of it spills or runs down the wrong way. Should it seem reluctant in opening its Jaws you use the handle of the spoon as a lever and pry them carefully apart, at the same time " But the angry agriculturist had gone snorting out of the store. : '. ' AD FOJMMLESCIPS Two Plants Are to Furnish All That May Be Desired. ANXIOUS TO MAKE CONTRACTS Carnegie aad Bethlehem Companies Agree to Famish Plate for Six Ves sels Within Twenty-Eight Months. ' Movemeat of the War Ships. Washington. March 15. The question has arisen whether the two great ar mor plants of the country could furnish armor in season if congress authorised the construction of six battleships. A reply has been given to this by Captain Sampson, who has told Chairman Bou telle, of the house naval committee, that the two big Arms can be relied on for prompt deliveries. Captain Samp son said: There is no doubt as to. the ability of the armor plants to furnish enough armor for the six battleships In ample time. The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies have delivered 1,176 tons during the months of January and Feb ruary, and this may be taken as an indication of what they can do. Their average would be 400 tons per month for each firm, or 800 tons for both. A battleship like the Kearsage requires 2,800 tons. For the six battleships, if authorised, we would have to provide in the neighborhood of 15.000 tons, and this. I am sure, could be made and delivered within twenty-eight months. The contracts for the construction of the Kearsage and the1 Kentucky call for their completion within three years. There will be no d-lay, then, so far us armor Is concerned, nor will there be If six additional battleships should be au thorised. Representative Robinson, of Pennsyl vania, has said to the houRe committee that the Carnegie and Bethlehem com panies have Informed him that they would guarantee to furnish sufficient armor for six battleships If authorized within twenty-eight months. The com panies are willing thut the time penalty should be Inserted In the contract in case they fall to deliver the armor with in the sueciflcd period. If the govern ment supplied the plans and drawings so that they could go ahead with the work the moment the contracts were awarded MOVEMENTS OF WARSHIPS.
