Prospects of the Various Bills now Before Congress Fight over Dem ocratic Leadership in the House. Washington, Feb. 25. President Mo Kin ley does not particularly favor the idea of having congress lay down con ditions for the acceptance of the con stitutional convention of Cuba, in ad vance of the action of that convention, which is now considering a supplemen tary declaration, setting forth the re lations that shall exist between Cuba and the United Statos, although he is not opposing the attempt that is now being made in that direction with the hope of escaping an extra session of congress. The president's plan is to take no action on the Cuban constitu tion, which General Wood has been in structed not to forward officially to Washington, nntil the convention has acted upon the supplementary decla ration it is now considering. As soon as that shall have been made, it and the constitution will be forwarded to Washington and President McKinley wiil issue a call for an extra session of congress to consider them, provided of course, that the action of this con gress has not made one unnecessary. The house has everything in good shape for the last week of the session, but only legislative experts can un tangle the mixture in the senate For tunately, many of the senators are legislative experts, and when they say that all of the appropriation bills, with ftbe possible exception of the river and harbor bill, will get through, the lay men must perforce take their word for it ana watch and SCO THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Senator Morgan stirred up some bad blood in his efforts to get the Nicara gua canal bill before the senate, by charging the republicans with truck ling to Great Britian, because they had decided that it would not be courteous to act upon the bill while the Hay -Panncefote treaty was unacted upon by Great Britian. Senator gpooner reminded him that it was the senate that mado the delay by amending the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and that the senate could not pass the canal bill while its own amendments were being considered by Great Britain, without a breach of international courtesy and decency. THE REVENUE REDUCTION BILL. The revenue reduction bill will not fail. After stubbornly standing for their respective bills long enough to frighten those who did not wish to see the bill fail, the conferees began to talk compromise, and it is now said by them that a compromise bill will be the result. Just what portions of the bill will be most affected by the com promise cannot be stated with any cer tainty, now, as none of the agree ments reached are binding unless agreement is reached on all sections of the bill, but the probabilities favor a heavy cut in the reductions in the beer and tobacco taxes made by the senate, and that the total reduction will be some millions below the senate bill. OTHER BILLS. In the senate, the house bill, appro priating $5,000,000 for the St. Louis ex position, before being passed was amended to provide for "closing the exposition on Sunday, and to appro priate;$250,000 for a government ex hibit at the Charleston, S. C, exposi tion. Opinion differs as to whether the oleomargarine bill will reach a vote in the senate. It is generally admitted that if voted upon it will be passed. I THE INAUGURATION. Everything is in good shape lor the inauguration of President McKinley and Vice-President Roosevelt, next 'Monday. Places have been assigned in the'parade to organizations, mili tary and civic, numbering nearly forty thousand men. Thanks to the public spirit of Secretary Long, J.he navy will be more largely represented than in any previous inaugural parade. The crews of seven vessels of the navy will march in the parade. ; PresidentJIMcKinley has issued a proclamation calling the senate in ex tra session, March 4, at 12 o'clock noon. This is always done in inaugu ration years, the senate being called together'to act upon executive nomi McKinlev s All nations, and has nothing whatever to do with the contemplated extra ses sion of congress. WIDE-AWAKE OFFICE SEEKERS. It cannot be denied that there are a great many wide awake office seekers in this country. Within twenty-four hours of the publication of the death death of Mr. Rounseville Wildman, who was United States consu' at Hong Kong, and his family, through the sinking of the steamship Rio de Janeiro, outside the Golden Gate, no less than Beven applications for his place has been filed at the department of state. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. Now that an extra session is practi cally assured, the democrats who have bon re-elected to the house, are indul ging in a cat and dog fight among themselves over the democratic lead ership. Representative Richardson, Of Tennessee, the preseut leader, wishes to continue, but De Armond, of Missouri, Bankhead, of Alabama, and several others are in the field against him. Republicans are amused at the fight over this very empty hon or. Speaker Henderson will be re elected by acclamation, as soon as the next house meets.

Endowed with that most beautiful trait in human charac ter, genuine sympathy for the unfor tunate, charity was extended with an open hand. His large practice includ ed much work for which no compen sation was asked, and the extent of this practical philanthropy can not be told. His family is one of the most prom inent in South Carolina and a number of relatives in that and this State sur vive him. Death off John H. Justice.
