From our Ret; alar Corrri pontftst. The unfortunate deadlock in the Senate which threatens the succem of the Panama Canal, the Cuban treaty and unless oon broken, will pre- ipitate an pxtra sepsion of Congress is finally reaching a point where it occasions a- larm to the Republican lead ers, an alarm increased oy the President's insistence that he will call nn extra sen Bion of the Senate it either the Panama or the Cuban or the Panama treaty fail of ratification. The annoyance of the republican leaders has recently been manifested by their abuse ot Senator Quay, who is contributing to t he filibuster. Mr. Quay, knowing that he represents a consider able majority of the Senate, Hnd having been subject to a protracted filibuster on the Statehood bill, bus determin ei to fight fire with fire and is accordingly filibustering the Panama treaty. What the end willjbe it is impossi ble to predict with certainty, altbonghMt is known that the ftepublicani leaders are contemplating a compromise onithe Statehood bill and are preparing to yield, at least, to gsome extent, to thede mandsof the democrats if bv so doing they can secure the prompt ratification of both treaties, Senator Morgan has thus far conducted n most remark able filibuster of the Panama treaty. He has: spoken over 200,000 words, equal to a very big book, in his argu ments against the conven tion as f ra med and still see ma ns fresh as ever. One evening last week a nighteession was held with the hope of tiring out the venerable Alabami an. He spoke for fonr hours, from 7 to 11 o'clock, when the Senate took a recess un til next morning. Your cor respondent happened to leave the Capitol just behind Sena tors Morgan and Pettuswho were walking arm in arm, and heard the former say: 'Pettus, what shall we do with the balance of the even ing? I'm not tired and it is too early to go to bed. Can you suggest some way of en joying ourselves for an hour or two?" When it is realized that Mr. Morgan is 79 and Mr. Pettus 82, the humor o the incident is apparent. The House has been devo ting its attention to appro priation bills recently and ha- passed a number, inclu ding the Naval and Fortiti cation bills. It is now engag ed in debating the Fowler "rubber currency" measure which has for its chief object the turning over to the banks and bankers the virtu al control of the currency o the nation. The bill may pass the House, Mr. Fowier says it will, but it cannot passtbe Senate. The Naval bill an thonzes tbe construction o three new battleships, an ar moured cruiser, two e tee traing ships and a wooden brig. It also appropriates $500,000 for the Secretary of the Navy to thoroughly in yestigate the subject of sub marine bouts and-to purely '''' a ' " ' asa sucn as ne deems vise and the appropriation will permit. It is known that the ..ake boat will be thorough y investigated under this irovision. The Lake bout will be thoroughly investiga ted under the provision. Thp bill also authorizes the don bling of the number of mid shipmen at Annapolis, a course made necessary by the coming into commission of manv ne naval vessels. The Anti -anarchs bill has finally been agreed upon by he conferees. As It stands it it provides! for capital )uni8hment lor any per son whoBhall kill or attempt o kill the President or any of his legal successors.' Ad vices or assistance to kill any of these persons will involve being regarded as a prinei al offender. The advice to kill, or teaching that any ofii cer of any civilized govern ment should be killed will be punishedjby a fine not excee ding $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding twenty years or both. It was this last, pro vision which SenatorjjBacon so opeoly opposed both in the Senate and" in an inter view printed in these letters a year igo. It is regarded as ioubtful if the conference re port will be agieed upon by the Senate",bcause of the ob jection of the democrats. A.final attempt was made last week by the friends of Ad miral Schlev to secure for him the recognition of Congress AJ: resolution was offered in the committee on Naval Af fairs providing that he be given th )'payand allowance of a rear arlmiral in the ac tive list. The resolution was laid on thVtnble by a vote of all th.e republicans except Mr, Mudd. It.is a well known that if the resolution could he hromrht before th? House is defeated by the Naval Com mittee. Representative Bank head recently told your correspon dent that he feared. the demo crats in the Senate were ma king a mistake by following the leadership of Mr. Quay and attaching the Omnibus Statenood bill to an appro priation bill. Hesaid: "lam afraid it is uot good politics nor is it wise legislation for the demoeiatie party to go on record in favor of pnliticn riders to appropriation bills It may come home to hannt us before long in connection with the constantly growing desire on the pait of republi can leaders to reduce the Con gres6ional represehtatation from the Southern states, as a result of the present agita tion of the raee problem Whenever two or morerepub licans get together to talk politics and the negro ques tion comes un you will hear them decla-ing themselves in favor of reducing the south em representation in ton gress as an offset to the ne cm disfranchisement. The President is most extreme on hi question and the result SootherD n i.rakemnn re .rt.blttiotb. relent " M-h.,h8burJr and I of of attaching a general legitda tion rider to an appropna tion bill may some day I made the means of humilia ting the South," Albert B. Cummins, the re wblicnn governor of Iowa, te a tt is in yasnington anu nas lad several conferences with he President. As a result it isaidto have been agreed hat there will be a "stand mt" tariff plank in the next fowa phttorm. lhe Presi dent has been made to feel hat any interference with the tariff schedules will incur the enmity of the protected interests of theVonntry and defeat his chance of nomina tion. He therefore sent for lovernor Cummins and has talked very plainly to him, telling him he must placate the advocates of an extra tar and. for the present, at hast, must abandon what has come to he know as Mhe Iowa idea." This will doubt h'Ss come as cheerful news to the tariff revision republic cans, especially thoseoflowa and Minnesota but it is the protected interests of New York etate of which Mr. Roosevelt is thinking. "Some time ago my daugh ter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough I gave her Chamberlains Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for tin past seven years and have never known it to fail', .says James Prendergast, merch ant, Annaro Bay, Jamaica, West India Island. The pains in the chest indicated an ap oroaching attack of pnpumonia, which in this in stance w a s undoubtedly warded, ofl by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Last Saturday about 4:20 p. m., tre jiaddesr ri jien enacted in our city in scores of years, occurred. About the time above mentioned, Mr. Ludlow Skinner came out of the mnin en trance of the post office and proceeded traight across the sidewalk facing1 the other side of the street.: Just about the time he step ped off the sidewalk into" the. street Mr. Ern-ist Haywood! approaching him from the south, fired a shot which! seems not to have t a k e n eftVct. Skinner increased his j speed and proceeded in thi same direction, when nnotlij pr was ftVd which entered his; back, grnzet the heart and I parsed through both hums. and Skinner fell dead on the; street car track in the middle of the street t. I Tin1 prominence, of the par j ties and the ignoranceof the1 public as to the motive be hind this act, has ea'nsed a great excitement, and been the firstsnbject of converse tion since. Mr. Ludlow Skinner had witnessed the burial ot h i 6 mother scarcely 24 hours be fore this sad occurrence. He was the son of Rey. T. E. Skinner, D. D., one of the best known Baptist mins ters ot the South, anil son in law of the late John C. Wind er. He leaves a wife and one child He was a gentle, ten der, unobtrusive, inoffensive man. Mr. Ernest May wood is one of the foremost nndb e s t known lawyers in the State, and a son of the late Dr. E. Burke Haywood, of this city.

The preacher returned to his pulpit and announced that hs intended to patron ize Brother Jones, and asked that all of his congregation that would do likewise stand up. The congregation rose in masse. While the flock was still standing the preacher asked Mr. Jones what his bus iness wus. Jones replied: "1 am a saloon keeper."-Hough ton Guzette. Nearly Forfaits Hw Life.
