Feb:. 271.—The House |the compromise contained in the confer- | ence report was the only legislation which could be enacted into law during this Con- gress. After some further remarks by Hepburn of Jowa, Smith of Iowa and Driggs of New Yoik the report was adopted with- ut division. The conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to, as was also the conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill. A motion to recede and concur in the Senate amendmeént to the naval appro- priation.- bill providing for three sub- marine torpedo boats was lost, 117 to 131. The bill was then sent back to confer: ence. Toud, chairman of the Postoffice Com- mittee, presented a partial conference re- ce appropriation bill between the two houses, and it was agreed to without division, Tawney, chairman of the Special mittee on the Louisiana Purchase Expo- sition, was then recognized by the Speaker and asked unanimous consent to consider the Senate amendments to the | 8t. Louis Exposition bill. Sims of Tennessee objected, whereupon Tawney moved to suspend the rules and non-concur in the Senate amendments and agree to the conference asked for by the Senate. After some debate on the Sunday open- m- ing question the motion prevalled without | division. What is known as the Olmstead reso- white population of States, was tabled, | owing to the inability of the census office to furnish information before the ad- journment of Congress. Hepburn called up the revenue cutter bill. whereupon Mann interposed a motion to adjourn, which prevalled. and at 5:30 o'clock the House adjourned.

Palmer is wanted by the authorities ley, and his arrest was made at their est. Against Palmer's bank at Ashley there are unsatisfied claims of $40,000, while de- positors of the Ellettsville concern claim 430,000 and have filed many suits of at- tachment since the bank closed its doors a week ago. The deficit in the accounts of the Desplaines institution is put at Palmer since Monday.

Feb. 21.—The Spodner amendment to the army appropriation bill passed in the Senate to-night is: “All military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippine Islands, acquired from Spain by the treaties concluded at Paris on the 10th day of Decem- ber, 1888, and at Washington on the 7th day of November, 1900, shall, until otherwise provided by Congress, be vested in such person and persons and shall be exercised in such manner as the President of the United States shall direct for the establishment of civil gov- ernment and for maintaining and protecting the inhabitants of said islands in free enjoyment of their liberty, property and religion. “Provided that no sale or lease or other disposition of public lands or timber thereon or mining rights therein shall be made, and pro- vided further that no franchise shall be granted which is not ap- proved by the President of the United States and is not in his judgment clearly necessary for immediate government of the isl- ands and is Indispensable for the Interest of the people thereof, and which cannot without great public mischief be postponed until the es- tablishment . of . permanent civil government, and all such fran- chises shall terminate one year after the establishment of such permanent ctvil government.” feke WASHINGTON, Feb: 28 —The Sen: passed the army apptropriation bill at o'clock containing the propositions of the Republican majority. ‘or the temporary government of the :Philippines and -for the future relations between the United States and Cuba.. Many ameéndments wére | offered to both' propesitions -but were voted down. The-original Spooner amend | ment was amended regarding franchises | proposed by Hoar, tha latter proposition having been accepted by:tlie majority yes- terday. ; Not since the énactment of the resolu- tions declaring a stats of war to exist be- tween the United States and Spain has there been such an avalanche of passion- ate oratory as the Senate listened to to- | day. Throughout the session the army ap- propriation bill was undeg discussion, the | controverted questions being the Spooner | Philippine _amendment and the Plart | Cuban amendment. Curiously enough, the | debate Was confined entirely to the Demo. | cratic side of the chamber, with one e: ception. Both amendments were de- nounced as -vicious and pernicious legis- | lation, subversive of the principles of this | Government and unparalleled in the his- tory of legislative ena-tments. The most notable speech of the day was | delivered by Bacon of Georgia. He had been thoroughly aroused by reports that the Democratic members had been in- duced by questionable means to withdraw their opposition to the proposed legisla- tion, and he passionately branded as a | libel upon honorable men and Senators any and all such statements. Personally, he declared, he would defeat the amenil- ment if he could, although he realized the majority would have to accept the respon- sibility for them. His arraignment of the | amendment for ‘“coercing” Congress into | | enactirg such provisions In the closing | | hours of the session was sensationally | flerce, and he declared that the only pos- sible object of such action was that the “plunderers and vultures” might have an opportunity to prey upon the prostrate land of the Filipinos. Senator Turner of Washington, Tillman of South Carolina, Fettigrew of South Dakota, Hoar of Mas- | sachusetts, Teller of Colorado, Mallory of | Florida, Lindsay of Kentucky, Culberson | of Texas, Jones of Arkansas, Money of Mississippl, Allen of Nebraska and others addressed the Senate, all of them des nouncing the proposed legislation. Early In the evening the voting began on the minor amendments to the meas- ure. All of them were offered by Demo- cratic Senators and all of them were voted down by heavy majorities, During the early part of the day the| conference report upon the fortifications appropriation bill was "accepted by the Senate.

To be free from backache is a luxury that many women hardly ever realize. | “It seems as if my back would break,” | is an expression often heard. | Of course there are many other causes for backache besides pe! catarrh, but this is by far the most frequent cause. The_buckache becomes 1o such women a | sort”of physiological barometer by which they can tell the approach of a storm, or the recurrence of a mengtrual period. The large muscles of the back have be- come so weakéned by the exhaustive drain, that instead of sustaining the deli- cate mechanism of the woman s anatomy they remain loose and flabby, serving onlj as the seat of myalgla or neuralgla, or else muscular rheumatism.

The decislon affects organizations in the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union Veterans' Union and the Spanish War Veterans. The dissatisfaction of tke veterans with the place assigned them in the parade is responsible fof to-day's action. It was their wish to act as the personal escort to the President. Grand Marshal Greene, on the contrary, assigned them to a posi- tion in the line ahead of the civic organi- zations and following the National Guard.
