Dur- j \ig the day we noticed the women who mere in the house, including George's 1 R^e and his daughters, Lizzie and Rosella, were carrying considerable R-ater to the kitchen, and as we did not see them washing or scouring, we ?ondered what they were doing r-ith it. At noon Van Bullock carried :he first load to my barn and returned tbout 1 o'clock with James Bell to help js. We had brought our rations with js, and ate our dinner near a spring.

After dinner Irving Bell and his wife came from their aome and tney stopped out on the road. His wife got out of the buggy and held several conversations with the women. They shortly drove away and returned about sunset. This time they drove up to the field where we were working and he told Waterman be must stop 'cussing' his mother. His wife cursed Waterman at the same time. After we had finished diggftig potatoes we threw them in the wagon with the tools?plow, hoes and potato fork?and rounded the house on our way home. Van Bullock was driving. The others of us were walking. All had their hoes in the wagon with the exception of Waterman. Me had his on his shoulder. As Georgepassed his wife he noticed she had a bucket 'of hot water and she was swinging it. He asker her not to throw it at any of them. She permitted him to pass.

George and Waterman took them off me and George begged them not to have any more fuss. I stepped away a piece | and I thought they would let me alone. Lizie Smzith then struck George over 1 the head with a missle of some kind, it staggered him and he fell. When he fell she went on him. George reached and got her by the hair, and she scoured sand in his face and tried to gouge out his left eye. But she kept him down until Jimmie Bell pulled her off.. When the old lady got off me she got a bar rail and stood over me in a threatening way. Just then I saw a hoe lying beside Lizzie and George. I picked it up and poked it at the two of them, jogging it at them." "Did you strike the woman over the head with the hoe or qoke it at her?

Washington. Special.?During the day the Senate considered and passed three supply bills aggregating an appropriation of over $357,000,000 and at night took up a fourth bill carrying i over $07,000,000. This session began at 11 a. m.. and after recess lasting from 6 to S. continued well into the night. The appropriation measures passed druing the day's sessions were: The postoffice bill, carrying $151,000,000 and the river and harbor bill, carrying in immediate appropriation and continuing contracts. $38,330,899. The river and harbor bill was increased by $332.000. among the increases being Winyah Bay, S. C., $40,000; Charleston, S. C.; $25,000; Cumberland River, Tenn, $30,000. Durinr the considering of the postoffice bi? Mr. Clay took exception to the lnc^ase of the appropriation for pneu^ratic tube service to $1,500,000, sayifg that the Postmaster General's estimate called for only $500,000. He said that the plan was to extend the service to cities of 200,000. and added that already cities of 100,000 were beginning to ask for the service. He also asserted that the expenditures on behalf of the postoffices in the United States were now practically equal to the entire expenses of the government fourteen years ago. Mr MrPnmha nrnnaoH an empnd. ment giving preference to soldiers of the war of the rebellion in the matter of the transfer of railway clerks to the regular clerical service. "Make it soldiers of the civil war," suggested Mr. Bacon, adding, "It is more courteous." The change was made and the amendment agreed to. The Senate agreed to conference reports on the Military Academy and Agricultural Department appropriation bills. The report on the agricultural appropriation bill showed that the Senate conferees had receded from the Senate amendment requiring semi-monthly reports on the cotton crop. Mr. Bacon read a telegram from President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association, urging the importance of more frequent reports and himself dwell upon the wisdom of the amendment. He said, however, that he appreciated the pertinacious and unyielding opposition of the House and thai the Senate could not do otherwise than yield. He attributed this opposition to the Agricultural Department, saying that subordinates, and not the head of that Department had haunted the capitol to defeat the legislation. He remarked that it was the duty of legislative officials to execute the laws and that if they could not do so they should be required to retire i;uai unico. Mrs. Stanford Poisoned. Honolulu.

All attacks were b^iten back, and the Russians made counter-attacks at many places. On the right flank the Russians occupied the village of Boatatzsi, which is close to Sandiapu, and from that position hurled hand grenades across the intervening ravine into the Japanese trenches in Sandiapu, causing heavy loss and great disorder. Must He Rereat? St. Petersburg, By Cable.?Word comes from a high source that General Kuropatkin considers his position on the Shakhe river to be menaced to such an extent by General Kuroki'g success on the lert nanK as to netcssi tate the immediate withdrawal of this ' army to Tie Pass, and has so advised Emp ror Nicholas. No confirmation of this is obtainable in military circles here, where it is pointed out that with the Japanese pressing the whole Russian line such an operation must almost inevitably end in a disaster of the first magnitude. Woman and Child Shot. \ Spartan burg, 3. C., Special.?A difficulty occurred this morning at the Spartanburg junction, between Cbas. Anderson and his brother, Ernest Anderson, colored, and Wallace Whitlock and Robert Whitlock, white, which resulted in several shots being exchanged between Charles Anderson and Robert Whitlock.

The Senate passed the sundry civil appropriation bill, carrying about $GS,000,000. Various amendments were :a offered to the measure, and most of . them were debated at some length. There also was discussion of the pure 10 food bill, and Mr. Dolliver made a >f brief speech in support of his reso- ) lution providing for the appointment :b of a joint congressional commission to investigate the question of railroad rates. The resolution was referred to li the committee on inter-State com- :o merce. When the sundry civil bill 11 came up. the House provision relating to the expenses of Federal judges was amended at the instance of Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, so as to provide ^ no it iiff\v raocnnahla ovndncoa Q^hiflllv Oi incurred for travel and attendance," !E not exceeding ?10 a day. Mh. Culberson presented an amend- *' ment, prohibiting the allowance of 3l fees to United States district attorneys. in excess of their salaries. It , was aimed especially at the New Yoifr 3,' district attorney. Mr. Dacon sugge? ^ ed a fixed salary of $10,000 for the New York officer, and with this w change the amendment was adopted. It prohibits the payment of fees to district attorneys except in the case of ( the District of Attorney. An amendment was adopted authorizing the construction of a light-ship * off Brunswick, Ga., at a cost of $90,- ' 000. The bill was then passed. A conference on the river and har- ,j! bor bill was granted, and Messrs. Gal- V linger. Nelson and Berry appointed conferees on behalf of the Senate. Mr. Heyburn immediately called up ^ the pure food bill and addressed the Senate on its provisions. While talk- ,j ing he was interrupted by many Sena- ' tors desiring to pass bills. Among 31 these was one prohibiting the sending rj of insects injurious to crops through p the mails. Mr. Culberson objected, and in doing so had a letter read from 5] Charles William Cunningham, of Tex- ^ as, proposing to "corner" the cotton n crop by the wholesale introduction of g] the boll weevil into the Southern s. States. While the letter purported to [j be from Texas, it was written on a, paper bearing the letter head of Price, McCormick & Company, of New York, a, and the writer said that the name ti signed was fictitious. h Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, offered ti a number qt amendments to the pure ;| food bill, and discussed the provisions tl of the measures. Mr. Hale reported tl the general deficiency, after which a pi recess was taken. 51 When the Senate reassembled, the h pure food bill was temporarily laid v aside, and Mr. Kern reported back the pi resolution instructing the committee r< on inter-State commerce to sit during bi the approaching recess of Congress, vi The resolution was commented upon tl by several Senators. At the instance si of Mr. Martin, the scope of the reso- b; lution was so extended as to include 3l an investigation into the liability of ^ railroads for accidents to employes, ?' and was then adopted. tl The general deficiency appropria- ti Mnn hill the Inct nf tho trput cunnlv tl measures, was taken up. w While the general deficiency bill was under consideration Mr. Martin T called up the House bill appropriating b: $250,000 for a celebration in 1907 of P1 the first settlement of English-speak- j*1 ing people, and it was passed. The J* bill will now go to the President Mr. 11 Hansbrough moved to increase from a $10,000 to $25,000 the appropriation to defray the expense of the congressional committee to attend the opening of cl the l^ewis and Clark exposition. Mr. Bailey opposed the increase, u; saying that $1,000 each for the com- ^ mitt e on such a trip is unwarranted extravagance. * * P The motion was voted down. The general deficiency bill was \ passed after striking out the House J7' provision appropriating $190,000 to f pay milea^? to Senators and Repre- . sentatives ou account of the extra session of the 58th Congress. Messrs. Allison, Hale and Cockrell were appointed conferees on the sundry f Ivll bill. J. Por Jamestown Exposition. '.'he Senate bill providing for particlpat on in the exposition to celebrate the first permanent settlement of ! Eng'ish-speaking people on the Wes- t) tern hemisphere, in the vicinity of James..->wn, Va., on the waters of , Hampton Roads, was provided by the House when, by a vote of 192 to 91, the >111 for that purpose was passed under ^ i suspension of the Rules. The amount lppropriated Is $250,000. To put the bill b through a two-thirds vote was neces- g| rnry, and this was obtained only after . lonsiderable debate. The members of *, the Virginia delegation during the roll call mingled among their colleagues md personally appealed to them to :ast their votes In support of the meas- J lire. An Interested spectator was Gen. p Fltzhugh Lee, president of the expo- . sltlon company. ' J* Mr. Maynard, of Virginia, moved to rj juspend the rules and pass the bill appropriating $250,000 for an internatlon- 0 il naval, marine and military celebra- a tion to be held on the waters of Hamp jon Roads, beginning May 13 and end- ?, ing not later than Nov. 1,1907, ir, com- '' memoratlon of the first permanent setdement of English-speaking people in America at Jamestown, Virginia, in 11 1607. Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman 01 >f the committee on industrial arts Sf ind expositions, in favoring the bill, s' ?ave a graphic description of the plans 31 ind purposes of the exposition com- 111 ?any. The bill also was strongly sup- lr jorted by Mr. Sulzer, of New Yorl^, on ** :he ground that expositions educate the 0 people and that the results are lasting ind beneficial. The whole plan was described by Mr. Burkett as "ridiculous from beginning :o end." The proposed exposition, he a; said, was clouded with indeflniteness, P because, he said, no one knew when or n low long it was going to be held or w whether there would be a single cent ivailable to hold the exposition at all. 01 Mr. Hepburn could only see In the w tppropriation an international Jhnket 84 or certain foreign guests, provided V1 hey came with a military or naval dis- 01 ilay. In addition, he said, it was but 111 he authorization for further expendi- 61 ure. 01 Mr. Barker, of New York, also oppos- *c k! the measure. 01 Mr. Samson, of Virginia, replying to 8t dr. Burkett, indignantly denied that *B< he money was intended for a govern- P( nent exhibit. He emphatically assertsd*that the exposition company had at sl ts disposal $1,200,000 for the undertak- w ng. ca The debate was brought to a close by dr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who, in fa- cc roring the bill, appealed to the House P* o get rid of the questions of economy, *h ind of territory for a moment, "and 3C lo an act of justice to the grand old latriotic'Commonwealth of Virginia." On division the House by a vote of ?* 85 to 81, suspended the rules and pass- b3 >d the bill, but on demand of Mr. Litlefleld, the yeas and nays were order' in id and the bill was passed.
