'Washington, MarcSi 2. It was a weary senate ,tnat convened, at 11 o'clock this morning to begin the pro-eeedlngs- of the last legislative day of the Fifty-sixth congress. Senators red-eyed and tired looking showed the effect of thte heavy strain of the past week. Curiously enough many of the older senators exhibited less evidence of ihard work and loss of jpleep than some of tehir younger colleagues. The gaflleries were -thronged with people here to attend the inauguration. The senate has passed the . general deficiency appropriation bill. This is the last of the appropriation bills. CONFERENCES ON 'LBGISIiATGPON . Washington, March 2. The house experts on appjrjopriati'cai bills regarded the situation as decidedly easy today, and it was said that there would be time to s-oare on the various big measures. With the Indian, army and agricultural biais -sent to the president the only ones remaining to give iany uneasiness are river and harbor, naval, postoffice and the sundry bill. The river and harbor conferees are meeting intfofmially and are well along in the work although the conferees had not been appointed early in the -day. The naval ponfre3 are still deadlocked on the three sub marine boats and some other items, but the : subjects are too small to endanger a bill of this imiDoirtan-ce. The posrcofnee conferees have had the bill. The sena tors decline to confer with two of the three out of the house conferees an I the session ended' abruptly . But the points of difference on this bill aire also Uo snraffl to endanger the bill, the chief open questions being as to inquires on a government telegraph and telephone systemi and on free delivery for small -cities. The sundry conference is deal ing with some important differences, including the expositions at St. Louis, Charleston and-BuhSalo, iaind the mem orial bridge over the Potomac River, but fears are entertained of protracted dif ferences KUFD IH A TRAIN WRFCK- (Continued from the first page.) he east bound train was a "skeleton.' running only .the engine and caboose.

When asked by a Sentinel re-porter regarding the ac cident, ie said: 'The whole blame rests an . the east- bound train crew, which consisted of L. MI Vance, engineer; W. L. Cash, fireman; R. L.

"Why they did not no one but the surviving men know. The work train was running on the right schedule. It was a very deplorable accident,' and J regret very much that it occurred. The damage il estimate at about $3,500. When I left the wreck the body of C. F. Madden had not been recovered, aud it is supposed to be under his engine, which will be lifted this afternoon. W. L. Cash is an old fire-main, 'here, and he knew setter than to go, by that sta tion. He is not suffering -from, any broken bones, and after the accident he walked to -a house about half a mile away. His injuries mostly consist of scalds, and -perhaps internal injuries, -and I was told before I left that he would die.' The track was cleared for the passing of trains about 11 o'clock.

Sickles, it was decided thai the local and visiting Grand Army vet erans will form the honorary escort tc the President Xrom tlie White House tc the Capitol on the 4th of March. The fur ther conclusion was reached that the vet erans will not participate in the afternoor parade on the return from the Capitol to the White House, but after the proces sion has passed through the "Court c!

There has been considerable con-trovers- for several days as to the part the Grant Army veterans would take in PresiCr McKinley's inauguration, and until tbt developments of to-day it was thorchi that the vetera'rs vv'ould decline to par ticipate at all. They refused to take posi tion at the rear of the military grand di-vis'-in of' the parade, whereupon Genera Greene requested that a detail of twenty men from eacn Ct. a. k. post iorm tm honorary escort to the President.

The Federalists are securing many new members for their party in Laguna province, east of Manila.

We believe there is no better means of perpetuat ing it than an absolute and uncondi tional adhesion as younger brothers, and as conditions may admit, this country can be raised to the level of its aspirations, blessing the hand which strengthened it and kissing the hand, if it so deserves, that cut asunder the last cord of its dependency and thus converting it into its own equal." THE WEATHER FOR MARCH. The Weather Bureau's Statement of the Conditions for the Month. Washington, March 1. The Weather Bureau has issued a statement of the weather for March, based on average weather conditions for March, as de termined by long series of observation. -As the weather of any given March does not conform strictly to the aver age conditions the statements cannot be considered as forecasts. In March the storms of the middle latitude of the North Atlantic ocean are more numerous but less severe than during January and February. In the West Indies severe wind storms seldom occur during the dry season, which continues from Novem ber to April. ' East of the Mississippi the differences in the monthly rainfalls are not con spicuous, except that there is a general tendency toward a maximum in the Summer months. Although heavy snow storms are practically unknown in the Southern States in March and are of infrequent occurrence in the Northern districts, some very remarkable and memorable snow storms have visited the North in that month. The period of damaging frosts in the interior of the South Atlantic and Gulf States extends from November to April. Damaging frost is likely to occur in Florida from the middle of October un til nearly the middle of April. Freezes of a character to injure oranges and orange trees in Florida, are, however, practically unknown in March. WILLIS L. MOORE, Chief U. S. Weather Bureau. THE AGEO POPE. New York, March 2.
