MARVLAND'S .LEGISLATURE. Measures to Be Acted Upon at the Special . Session, Which Beitn Yesterday Republican Opposition. . By Teiegrapn to u Moraine star. -AN5AP0US, Md., March 6 It has been determined in caucus that the only measure to be considered during the special session of the Maryland legislature will ba the new ballot law, tbe net to enable Haltimore city to barrow $12,000,000 with which to build a sewerage system, and the bill to pro Tide for a census of the Slate, to be made by 8tate enumerators for the p arp se of axing tho: prop-r represen tation lu the Qaaerat Auembly. It has also bee a determined to enforce the cloture rule in the tteoate in order to prevent filibustering. It is, there foro, probable that the special session which began at noon ti-day will not ba a long one aud that lbeJIans of tbe Democrats, if accomplished at all, will be carried out in tbe tbjrty dajs limit fixed by the constitution. The Republican Senators made the first move, in the game of biopiog tbe Dem icrats by refuting to enter the beoati chamber, thus preventing toe orginizilion of that body. Tnis was made possible bv the nun arrival of Senator John P. Moore, Democrat who" is governor omith s business partner. He is expected to reach here at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Democratic Sou a tors finally decided to organist the Senate without a quorum when it was learned that Senator Moore was ill and would not be present to day. . This was done and the ballot bill, the sewerage1 enabling act and the census bill were introduced a 'id referred to the proper committees, after which the Senate adj urned until to morrow morning Tbe House a it o organized and the same programme was carried out as in the Senate. The radical changes from the present system of voting in the ballot law lie in the provision ab jli hiog party win blems requiring cross marks to be made opposite tbe name of each candi date, and denying to voters the assis tance of ballot clerks. It is believed that these provisions will make it prao tically impossible for an illiterate voter to properly cast his ballot, and if it becomes i law, it will disfranchise probably fifty thousand voters in the State, mostof whom are negroes. SOUTH AFRICA SITUATION. Negotiations for the Surrender of Qeo. Botha Oens. DeWet and Oelarey Still in the Field. j By Cable to the Morning star. London. March 7 Private infor- m alio a received in London this morn ing confirms the rumors of negotia tions between Lord Kitchener. Sir Al fred Milner and Commandant General Louis Botha. Nothing is known as to tbe actual presence of tbe Boer com- mander-ln-cmei at rretoria, - ana no l.nncinn didpf nuhlishea a statement that be is there; bit it is reasonably certain that General Botha is either in personal or very close touch with Lord Kitchener.

The question is uo as to -bat force be can bring with him. We bave private ioforma tick it lunrtino Irt wVirktv trial.

"General DtWet and General Dela rey,as well as tne other leaders, will probably have to be dealt with indi vidually on similar terms. If the ne gotiations with General Botha reach a successful termination it will be, to use an expressive Americanism, just one of the bunch." - POUNDED BY HEAVY GALES.

The three masted schooner El ward EL Blake, of Bangor,.. Maine, arrived here today from Fernandina, after a very rough passage of forty seven days.

Bv Telegraph to the Morning star. "Washington, March 8 Represen tative Cannon, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, and Representative Livingston the senior Democratic member of the Committee, have prepared statements of the ap propriations of the Fifty 8ixth Con gress wbich will be printed in the Congressional ' Recoid to-morrow. Both place the total appropriations for the Congress at $1,440,063,645; placing those for the first session at $710,160, 8S1. and for the second at $729,9 11,683. Mr. Cannon publishes a table show ing the expenditures of the previous Congress at $1,568,213,637, and Mr. Liviogston makes a comparison with tne Fifty-Fourth Conrrss which ap propriated $1,044,580,273 Iu his statement Mr. Cannon says: x'Ot the total appropriations made at tbis session, at least $30,000,000 will notf iu tbe light of past experience, be expended. Tbis considerable margin between actual expenditures and ap propriations made by Congress indi cates a sum total of expenditures during the fiscal yar 1902 of not exceeding! $699 911.683 07; tbis sum includes $53000,000 on account of tbe sinking tuod requirements for the fiscal year 1903, which, of course, under the terms of ' the law, will be met only to such extent as surplus -revenues in the treasury may permit. After meeting the fullest ordinary requirements of tbe pubbe service under the appropriation toe River and Harbor bill bas been permitted to fail. The payment of just claims of honest people against tne government has not been provided for. The moat casual examination of the tables makea comment practically un necessary. It showa that the army for each of the two years prior to the Spanish-American war cost a little over $33,000 000 and but little more than $46 000,000 for the two years covered by the Fifty fourth Congress, while for each of the two years since that war, 1901 and 1902, it costs nearly $115,000,000 or $230 tOO 000 for the two years, exclusive of deficiencies that bave been provided for in large sums out of appropriations made for ex penses of tbe Spanish war during the Fifty-fifth Congress. . ; 'The n vy co-t for the two years- 1897, 1898-163 362.000, while for the years 1901 and 1902 these appropria tions amount to nearly $144,000,000. "For tbe payment of pensions the appropriations show: an increase of nearly $8,000,000 for the two years. k,The most marked increase indicat ed in the appropriations far ordinary expenses of the government made for the two yeara 1901 and 1903 at the two sessions of tbis Congress over those of the two preceding years 1899 and 1900, provided for by tbe Fifty-fifth Congress, is for the postal service. Tbe necessity of these increased appro priations to meet large business de mands is referred to as a came for congratulation. Tbe appropriations have been reduced $128,150,091 by tbis Congress under those 'provided for by its pr decetsor . and tbis bss . render ed possible a reduction of taxes in the sum of $41,000,000. - "With a continuance of the wise administration etj yed by the coun try, there is every reason to believe there will be a further reduction in the public expenditures in the near fu ture and a corresponding further re duction of taxes." Mr. Livingston .says "the Fifty -fourth Congress was the last one that made appropriations for the support of tbe goverment prior to the beginning of the Spanish American war. The Fifty sixth Congress is tbe first Con gress appropriating money for the sup port of tbe government since the close of the so-called Spanish American war. The difference between the appropria tions made by tbeFifty-sixtb Congress and those made by tbe Fifty-fourth Con cress amounts to $395,482,272. "During tbe session just closed tbe demands of the people, through their representatives, for tbe construction of the Nicaraguan canal, have gone un heeded and those for new public build ings have been persistently denied." . In a word this table shows tbat tbe price to tbe people of the policy of this administration that has been thrust upon tbem by tbe Republican party is in round numbers $400,000,000 with in a period of two years, and the half tbat is contemplated has not yet been put in operation.

Coostrnctloo of the Canal Stroafly Advo cated-Nothlog Expected from Oreat Britala Bnt Hostility to Eater prise No Compromise. Bv Telegraph to tbe Morning Btar. Washington, March 6. Again to day when the Senate convened tbe galleries were packed with people, a majority of whom as on recent days being composed of visitors to tbe city. Tbe executive gallery was ablaze with bide, gold cor,d and epaulettes, the visitors being members of the staff of Governor Yates of Illinois. Promptly at noon Vice President Roosevelt entered the chamber. As he stepped forward to his desk to call tbe Senate to order a burst of spontaneous aoplause rang through tbe galleries. With evident manifestations of his disapproval, the Vice President seized bis gavel and rapped sharply twice for order. Glancing sternly around the galleries, he said, and the words cut through the chamber like a knife, "If there is any applause or disorder the sergeant at arms will clear the- gal lories." Tbe chaplain in his invocation re ferred with deep pathos to the-sorrow which bas fallen upon the junior Sena tor from Alabama (3r. Pettus) aid his wife in the death of their only son Inquiry from Senator Teller brought out the fact that it was not tbe inten tioo of Senator Piatt, Connecticut, to press his cloture resolution during the present session, and the resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules After the routine of "morning busi ness" had been transacted. Senator Morgan sddresied the Senate upon bis resolution.- He said he would exclude from his argument any consideration of the Panama canal commission. The only prospect of the construction of tbe Nicaragua canal now by tne United States rested upon the proctocols which had been entered into between tbis country and the governments of Nica ragua and Costa Rica. He challenged any Senator to point to a single propo sttion which Great Britain bad made for such a modification of the Clayton Bulwer treaty as wou d admit of the construction of the Nicagarua canaL No such action, be . sard, ever bad been taken by 1 Great Brit ain. iJuring all the time, wben Americans were "bugging to tbir bosoms' tbe delusion . tnit Great Britain eventually would enter upon a friendly arrangement for the construc tion of tne canal, Oreat Britain bad preserved "a profound and golden silence." He called ber silence "gold en" becsute. he asserted. Great Brit ain through Liverpool which was tbe commercial centre oi tbe world, was being enriched and the United States because of tbe lack of tbe . Nicaragua canal was contributing to the enrich ing of Great Britain. . "There cannot be anything mora precious to day to Great Britain," said Mr. Morgan, "than to prevent the con struction of the Nicaraguan canal. If Great Britain by her 'golden silence can prevent. that, her profits will con tinue and ' tbe longer she can do tbat the greater will be her profits on the Suez canal. She has remained as ailent as the sphinx which looks out upon the Nile and upon the desert and she seems to be looking cut upon a desert of wasted American oppor tunities.' and sad to say, American honor. Great Britain is still silent. With some feeling, in referring to the Clavton -Bulwer trea y. the Ala bama Senator said: "We will make no compromise with Great Britain upon that subj-ct We will make no concession to Great Britain in relation to tbat treaty. What we sball do with it land some of our people are opposed even to thai) is that we shall declare it abrogated. If the Vbie Onf my resolution could be taken9 to day it would inform' the President of the TTnited States that hb has no two thirds majority in the Senate to ad pt any compromise he may make with Great Britain. If it is the purpose of Great Britain still to look for delay, aha will not set it. If it be ber deter mination to nick a quarrel with us about it, she will find the United States can muster at least half the number of mep who voted for Presi dent in the last election fighting men. And she will find, when tbat war terminates, that the steel band rbich binds the throne in London rith Australia and India and passes through Canada will have been rent in twain, and with its severance down will bo the Emoire. "She will qnd that her possessions in tpe varrtoean sea nve lapaeu. ouo will find that she has overtaxed our patience. She has started with a pew king and with a new career tbat will break up the . Empire and reduce the king to the sovereignty of- his own island, jjoes Oreat Britain suppose she can escape from tbe terrors of tbe existing situation and tbe prospective situation everywhere, and tbat she can find a favorable opportunity to display her military power against the United statesl ' Without concluding hisspeech,8ena Mil celery compound as a spring medicine so far exceeds today the demand for all oiher remedies put together. Paine's celery compound, taken du ring the early spring days, has even more than its usual reinarkableiificacy in making poople well. It makes short work of all diseases of debility and nervous exhaustion. .It rapidly drives out neuralgia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia, and rheumatism from the system. It removes that lassitude, or "tired feel ing," which betokens weakened nerves and poor blood. Overworked and tired women are but one class of persona who are in urgent need of the wonderful remedy to make and keep them well. Businessmen who are not .sleeping soundly, shop girls made pale, and sickly by long hours of indoor work, and tbe countless sufferers from dys pepsia, kidney and liver trouble, need the invigorating t fleet of Paine's celery tor Morgan yielded the floor, and at 2.45, on motion of Mr. Wrrdn, of Wyoming, the Senate went into execu tive session, adiourning fifteen min utes later. Democrats Somewhat Exercised. Tbe Democratic Senators are some what txercised over tbe assignment of a seat on the Democratic side of the chamber to Senator McComas, a Re publican Senator from Maryland. By common consent the Democrats have from time immemorial occupied the seats on tbe right of the presiding officer and the Republicans those to. tbe left. Now, however, the Republi cans are so largely in the majority tbat it has become necessary to place some of them on tbe Democratic s de. but they were placed in the least de- srable seats A rule of the 8enate, however, assigns to tbe first Senator asking for it any given seat, and act ing under tbis rule. Senator McComas fixed upon Senator Butlers seat wben be saw that it would be Vacated and it was accordingly assigned tO him. The seat is tbe best on tbe Democratic side, being lu the front row and immedi ately facing the presiding ttffleer. . The Democratic senators considered tne disposal of tbe seat as one of their pre rogattves, and tbey took it up in their conference yesterday. The conference referred the question to the steering committee anu that committee decided to formally present the matter to the Republican steering committee. That presentation has been made and there the matter rests. GEORGIA'S PEACH BELT. No Serious Dsmst e Dose by the Recent Cold Wsve. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.

The good old drama of "William Tell was enacted near Ha r; ford a few days ago. The tyrant Gessler in tbis Instance, however was a wicked bald eagle, and jthe part of William Tell was enacted by F. H. Woodworth. Mr. Woodwortb. - and ' nia 9-year-old daughter Helen, who Is his inseparable companion, started together on a fishing trip. There had been some talk of the marauding of bis eagleship for some time, says the St. Louis Republic, and this Inspired Mr. Woodworth to fetch his rifle along. ' - :.- The two .fishers bad not proceeded far. when the bird appeared. Secreting him self behind some shrubbery. Mr. Wood- worth pushed his little girl forward, tell ing her not to be afraid, bnt to sit down. The bait tempted the bird, and with a swoop he descended. Just as he was Searing the child Woodworth's rifle crack ed and feathers new. The bird again spread his wings and attempted to soar,' when another shot rang out, and down he came in a heap. The eagle measured 6 feet 3 inches from tip to tip. It is the largest seen In this part of the country in many years. "No, I had no fear," said the modern William Tell today, with a smile. "I just Bent the gal out for a bait, while I hid in the brush and popped him. I had no doubt about hitting him. All I was af eared of was that he might-get near and claw her before he died.

A new game not unlike our old time prisoner's base, but differing sufficiently tp afford fresh amusement. Is now popu lar with Germnn boys. In Germany they call it "mutzenraub," but tbe best name here for it would be "cap thief." Two lines are drawn or staked off upon tbe ground 65 paces apart. At a distance of .25 paces from one and 40 paces from the other a stake is driven, upon which' a cap is hung. One boy is selected to act as umpire, while the others the more the merrier choose sides and line np facing one another from the outer marks. Those nearest the stake are the thieves or robbers and those farthest are police. At a signal from the umpire one thief makes a dash for the cap on the stake, and one policeman advances at full speed to capture him. The former has to advance 25 paces to the stake, seize the cap and return with it behind his own line. The latter has 40 paces to make before reaching the stake, but as he has not to stop and turn they are about evenly matched. If tbe policeman succeeds in placing bis band on tho shoulder of the thief before the latter, has crossed hisown line, he takes him back a prisoner, and it counts one for the police. If he fails, he drops out of the game, and the thieves score -one. After all have tried the side having the greatest number of points wins the game. A Sad Truth. "Are you good at conundrums?" asked Kitty of Mollie. "Pretty good," answered Mollie cau tiously. "Weil, here's one," feaid Kitty. "Where do the sweetest cherries always hang on, the cherry tree?' : " "In the sun," replied Mcjlie promptly. "That isn't the answer," said-Kitty se-' "Well, what is it. then?." "They always hang just out of reach.," declared Kitty, with a mournful sign. ' Well Informed. The experiences of elevator conductors are many and varied, and the better the Judge of human nature one of these use ful employees is the more satisfactorily can he perform his duties toward those who ride with him. Down at the Dis trict building there Is an. elevator man who seems to be perfection in this regard, and the- way he makes people happy has often been the subject of comment. An instance of this follows: A few days ago a woman approached him and after get ting in his. cojj thus addressed him, MI want to see -a man whose name I do not know, and 1- do not know either, what office he is employed in." , -- "I am well acquainted with the gentle man, you refer to'- waa the instant reply of. the elevator man, "and he bas just stepped out." The woman left the ear seemingly en tirely satisfied with the information she bad received. Washington Star. To Get It. Doctor You need more exercise.
