Postoffice and Indian Appropriations Come First. WASHINGTON, April 10. The appro priation bills this week will take prece dence of all business In the Senate, but it Is more than probable that political dis cussion will take up most of the time nom inally devoted to appropriations.

By the time these two measures shall have been disposed of It is expected the sundy civil bill will have been reported from the committee on appropriations.

There will be an effort made to get up the Panama Canal bill dur ing the week, but not If it would inter fere with consideration of appropriation bills. PHILIPPINE BILL IN HOUSE. Two Days' Debate Probable on Im portant Measure. WASHINGTON, April 10. Tho meas ures of importance that will come before the House this week Include the $3,000,000 appropriation to carry on necessary river and harbpr work, the general deficiency bill, which is expected to come from the appropriations committee early in the week; the Cooper act amending tho Phil ippine Civil Government bill, authorizing a bond Issue by the island government for internal improvements and guaranteeing 5 per cent earnings on capital to be in vested in railroad building in the Islands; the statehood bill, and conference reports as they may come up for consideration.

The statehood bill's career is determined by a caucus of Republican members to be held probably Thursday evening. A special rule from the committee on rules, limiting debate and providing for a vote is expected as the result of the caucus. Mixed Politics and Sympathy. WASHINGTON, April 10. Pursuant to special orders, the House of Representa tives today conducted memorial services In memory of the lato Representatives Foerderer and Burke, of Pennsylvania. In addition to the members of the families, a large number of Pennsylvanlans occu pied seats In the naileries. Each of the large list of speakers paid xoucmng xnDui.es to tne two departed members, some venturing Into the realm of nolltlcs to demonstrate thnt tcora Pperderer and Burke had built up vast I businesses and acquired great wealth through the protective tariff system. Adamson, of Pennsylvania, said that previous to tho election of Burke, hls'dls trict, which was the old Samuel J. Ran dall district, for ages had been misrep resented in Congress and had been a blot on the City of Philadelphia because it did not represent the sentiment of the people nor the doctrine on which its vast manu factures is dependent for success. He de clared, however, that the district had been redeemed by Burke from Democratic con trol forever. Resolutions of sympathy and respect were adopted, following which the House adjourned till tomorrow. Session May End April 28. WASHINGTON, April 10.

OUTSPOKEN "IRON -DTTKE." Some Interesting Gossip of Welling, ton and His Opinions, New York Press. It Is amusing to us Americans to hear his leso majeste, tho Kaiser, crack up those Hanoverians, as they were simply made a chopping block of and hammered to a standstill In the war of the Revo lution. Any real fighting there was was done almost between brothers, or, at least between kith and kin, as tho irrcconcll ables here the most bitterly opposed to King George (as expressed by the Boston tea party) were the Scotch Presbyterians and the Scotch-Irish; that is, the Ulster men originally, and any fighting on the English side was done practically by tho same extraction, tho "mercenaries" (Han overians and Hessians showing up very poorly. The "Minute Men" simply made a punchlng-bag of "them. Waterloo was fought and won before the redoubtable Blucher showed up. That's history. In the "Creevey Papers," Just published, not unlike the Croker Papers, here's what Wellington himself says: "Blucher and I have lost 30,000 men. It has been a damned nlco thing the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life. Blucher lost 14,000 on Friday night (at Llgny), and got so damnably licked I could not find ,hlm on Saturday morning; so I was obliged to fall back to regain my communications with him." Creevey asked if the French had fought better at Waterloo than he had ever seen them do before. Wellington replied: "No; they have always fought the same since I first saw them at Vlmlora. By , I don't think It would have done if I had not been there!" Creevey said: "Well, now, Duke, don't you think Love a verv unneeissarv mnl. ,er of Bonaparte at St. Helena? It is sureiy very aisreputable to us to put any restraint upon him not absolutely neces sary for his detention." With his usual expletive. Welllnrton reDlIed: "Rv i,I don t know Bonaparte is so damned lntractame a rellow there is no knowing how to deal with him. To be sure, as to tho means employed to keep him there, never was anything so damned absurd. I know the Island of St. Helena well. I looked at every part of it on my way from the East Indies, and as for Love, he is a damned fool. When I came to Brussels from Vienna In 1S15. I found him Quartermaster-General of the army, and I pres ently found the damned fellow would In struct me In "the equipment of the army, always producing the Prussians to me as models; so I was obliged to tell him I had commanded a much larger army In the field than any Prussian General, nnd that I was not to learn from their service how to equip an army. I thought this would have stopped him, but shortly aft erward the damned fellow was after me again about the equipment or the Prus sians, so I was obliged to write home and complain of him, and tho government was kind enough to take him away from me." In one of the "thousand-and-one" lives of Napoleon Is in effect the" following: "On the eve of the battle (Waterloo) Napoleon was 111 at ease, stepping rest lessly about, his face more somber than usual. One of his Generals Marmont ventured to remark, "What think ye of Wellington, sire?" Napoleon mused for a moment and then slowly replied: "What think I of Wellington? Why, I think Wellington Just as capable of hand ling large masses of troops as I am. " That was the first, last and only opinion ever expressed by Napoleon of his great rival. In the English camp before tho battle Wellington was in the highest spirits. He said to his staff: "Say, officers, we'll give that fellow Boney the damnedest licking he ever got." It Is not generally known that the Iron Duke had formulated plans for a final setto with Napoleon a year be fore. He felt instinctively it was to come. He knew every inch of the field of Waterloo, and tho surrounding country. He even went so far as to have pits dug months and months before the sound of the gong calling the two great master minds into tho ring where was decided the battle which changed .the whole course of the modern world and its effects are apparent stllL The Iron Duke was no tuft-hunter. Creevy says: "In the evening I had a long talk with the Duke in tho garden, and he was very agreeable. Upon my say ing that never government cut so con temptible a figure as ours in the repeated defeats they sustained on tho proposal to augment tho establishments of the Dukes of Clarence, Kent and Cumberland, ho said: 'By ! There Is a great deal to be said about that. They (tho Princes) are the damnedest millstone about the neck of any government that can be Imagined. They have Insulted person ally Insulted (as the Kaiser has just done in Germany) two-thirds of the gentlemen of England, and how can it be wondered at that they take their revenge upon them when they got them in the House of Commons? It is their only opportunity, and I think, by , they are quite right to use it " Of the Regent, the Duke said: "By You never saw such a figure! Ho speaks and sweats so like old Falstaft that, damn me, if I wasn't ashamed to walk into a room with him!" i i THE DAYS DEATH BOLL. Colonel Charles H. Page. PHILADELPHIA, April 10.

ITALY HAS CIVEN UP Austria Is Conceded Provinces in Dispute. , KAISER'S JUDGMENT DECIDES Meeting of the Ministers of the Two Countries at Abbazla Believed to Mean a Formal Announcement of Italy's Renunciation. ROME, April 10. Signor TIttonl. the Italian Foreign Minister, In an Interview today said that he and Count 'Goluchow skl, tho Austrian Foreign Minister, were entirely satisfied with their meeting at Abbazla yesterday, tho result of which he would communicate to Parliament. The following, telegraphed from "Vienna to the Independente, caused a sensation: "The resurrection of the agitation In Italy, In which tho agitators claimed the Italian provinces still under Austria, so strained tho relations of tho two coun tries that they were several times on the point of declaring war. Austria was In dignant when Italy protested to the Em peror of Germany, who, according to the triple alliance. Is tho arbiter of Austro Itallan disputes. "Tho Emperor decided that Italy was wrong In not repressing the anti-Austria movement and that Austria would be wrong If she tried to occupy Albania and thus conflict with Italian Interests. There being no appeal from this decision, Italy and Austria decided to complete the ac cord obtained through the meeting at Na ples of Emperor William and King Vic tor Emmanuel, In whose toasts, contrary to other similar manifestations. Emperor Francis Joseph was cordially alluded to. Besides this meeting at Abbazla, which occurred In one of the Italian provinces subject to Austria, Is to be understood as Italy's formal renunciation of this prov ince." Bad Austro-Itallan feeling, in which there is a risk of checking the wor,k of diplomacy, has been roused by an inci dent which occurred while the meeting between the Ministers at Abbaza was taking place. The Italian steamer Mol fetta, on arriving at Cattaro (a fortified seaport in the Austrian province of Dal matia), was approached by Austrian gendarmes who said they wished to In spect the vessel. The Captain of the Molfetta refused to allow the gendarmes to come on board if they carried arms and the soldiers threat ened to attack the ship. The Captain dis played the Italian flag over the gangway, when the gendarmes were ordered to fire. Before the order could be carried Into execution the Captain yielded In order to avoid bloodshed. The Italian Government will bring the matter to the attention of the Austrian Government and ask for an explanation. Honors to Dead Spanish Queen. MADRID, April 10.

Deeds of Daring in the Manchurian Campaign. At the batUe of the Yalu, says Wil liam Thorp in the April World's Work, two Japanese soldiers, on different ships, when In the very throes of death, gasped ouu nas uie unen xuen sunk yet?" that vessel being one of the two most formidable Ironclads of the Chinese fleet. "During my campaigning in Man churia," said a Japanese who went through the Chinese War, and "who now resides in New York, "I think the great est hardship we had to endure was the terrible cold at Hatching. It was bitter even for a Manchurian Winter. When we were on the march our beards froze to our coats, and I saw many men who had their ears and feet frozen off. But never once did I hear a single murmur or complaint from any man in the force." The energy and Initiative of tho Japan ese soldier were strikingly displayed by a private named Kato Juroro. at Klomai shan In the Chinese War. His regiment, when about to engage the enemy, was stopped by a broad, and rapid river. He was in the leading company. His captain sent back to the Colonel for instructions, and the Colonel replied that somebody must find a ford. But before the order could be received, Juraro- had waded out into the river in half a dozen places, un til he found a shallow place.. The river was frozen by a thin coating of Ice, and the enemy on the opposite bank kept up a hot fire at him all the time. When he emerged, he was wounded, and his clothes were frozen to him like a sheet of mall armor, but he had found the ford and was content The Japanese soldier possesses abundant Initiative, and is never afraid to act upon his own responsibility. One of the sto ries held Up to the admiration of recruits tells of the exploit of a Sergeant named Kodama and five men at Hwangchlatal, in the Manchurian campaign against China. They were sent to reconnolter the Chinese position in the night. While they were doing so, the Sergeant noted the extreme confusion and unprepared ness of the enemy, and he conceived the daring idea of attacking the entire army with his five men. They discharged their rifles as quickly as they could and rushed rapidly from point to point, uttering blood-curdling yells. The Chinese thought they were attacked In force, and fled in confusion, leaving their camp and sup plies behind them. "Shlkata go nai! ("There is no help!") This phrase Is heard in Japan as often as "Manana" in Latin America. It ex presses at once the fatalism and tho Spar tan resolution of the Japanese character. When a mother hears that her son has been killed In battle, she does not weep or show any visible sign of emotion. She bows her head and calmly says, "Shlkata go nal!" When a man is sent by his of ficer to certain death, he does not sit down and write his last letters home or go around shaking hands with his comrades for the last time, as white men would do in the same case. He simply mutters, "Shlkata go nal!" and walks out of the officer's tent straight to his mission. A EEKALE KIPLING. Felicia Hemans Struck Same Chord as Poet of Action. Boston Transcript. Our latter-day prophet-poets of Imperi alism como upon us with a so Imperative sotinding of bugles that little chance is left for the hearing of echoes from earlier and more slender strains. Yet a whim sical critic might be tempted to try to catch ono of those distant songs and place the image of the singer tho drooping and ringleted shade of a female of exquisite sensibility beside the virile personality of tho laureate of the empire. It Is not likely that either of the two writers would acknowledge the kinship here suggested. Mr. Kipling would not Impossibly resent It with big guns, while It staggers the Imagination of man to conceive of Felicia Hemang composedly perusing "Barrack Room Ballads" and accptlng the author as her own spiritual great-grandson. Yet the delicate lady who wrote much of flowers and bowers, festive scenes and soaring thoughts did nevertheless sound on her quivering harp-strings, as she her self might have said the very note which has been caught up by the singer of thq Seven Seas and the Five Nations, and on which he has Insisted with all the empha sis of all hl3 Instruments, from the big drum to the banjo. In her song of "Eng land's Dead" Mr. Hemans questions the plains of Egypt, the banks of the Ganges, and tho leeflelds of the North for the "sons of the Ocean Isle" who slumber there, as Kipling flings "his challenging de mands to the winds of the world and to much the same effect: . Go, stranger, track the dcp: Free, free the white sail-spread, "Wave may not foam, nor wild wind sweep, Where sleep not England's dead. The measure is limited enough to con tain so authentic an( emotion; see how Kipling flings It forth on the surge of his cadences: We have fed our sea for a thousand years, and she calls us, still unfed, Though never a wave of all her waves but marks 6ur English dead. Wc have given our best to the sea's unrest, to the shnrk and th shearing gull; If blood be the prce of Admiralty, If blood be the price of Admiralty, Lord God, wo ha paid It full! Not In a stray lyric alone can the fan tastic yet persistent likeness be traced. Even In her rhythms Mrs. Hemans antici pated, though In a tentative fashion, some of Kipling's resounding verses, as In her ringing Spanish songs, not so far removed In spirit and form,, from the lament of Diego Valdez. If that same whimsical critic should put aside the characteristic garlands and aerial draperies of the pre Vlctorian era, he would find a singular revelation of an almost religious fervor of patriotism quite the sentiment which Is the special prpvince (one had almost written patent) of the author of the "Re cessional" and a surprising martial pas sion. It Is difficult to conceive of Kip ling's softening his tremendous tones to the pitch of any of Mrs. Hemans poems. though there are Individual cadences In which sho "strikes fire along the bannered line" which he might not altogether dis dain. But It Is not Impossible to imagine that the singer of The lionlike awakening of the roused indig nant land, might In an unusually forceful mood have achieved the noble "Hymn before Action," the beatof which Is identical with one of her war songs, and the close of which with its tenderly Irrelevant Invocation to Mary strikes, or would strike were the writer a woman, a curiously feminine note. The point is one that could be proved only by unlimited quotation, so it must bo left to those fe,w readers who have not dismissed Felicia Hemans to oblivion and who know that she sang of the waves and of the English flag as he sings today whose note Is reverberated from all his Seven Seas. Mrs. Hemans had her limita tions, possibly her compensations; she could not have written Kipling's "Flag- of England" or "Ford o' Kabul River"; she would have swooned at ihe suggestion of writing the "Absent-Minded Beggar" Nevertheless, In that graceful lady may bo found an unrecognized literary ances tress of our Imperialist prophet; and would ancstress or descendant be quicker to disclaim the kinship?

An Illinois Man Put a Camera In a Treetop and the Bird Pulled the String. Chicago Record-Herald. One would, hardly expect to And a bird usurping a human Industry, but this is the age of novelties, and the latest Is the hen hawk that takes Its own photograph Robert W. Hegner. of Beverly Hills, HI., co-operated, with the hawk and the results of his curious partnership are herewith presented. For a number of years Mr. Hegner has made extensive studies of bird life. The popular use of the camera which was made possible by the Invention of the dry plate process was seized 'upon by him to record Interesting facts in bird life. A bird's nest containing eggs or young Is to the owner a magnetic spot, and the parents will be drawn to It In spite of the presence of foreign objects, which, under other conditions would frighten them away. Even the camera, with ts glittering lens and strange form. Is braved by the courageous birds. The mothod used hv Mr. Hoctiop mnv ho described as follows: A nest on the ground presents the least number of difficulties. The tripod Is planted firmly from two to six feet away from the nest. The cam era 13 screwed on and correctly focused upon a little piece of printed matter light ly placed In the nest. An extra -Ball and socket clamp has been recently put on tho market which allows more freedom In tho movements of a camera in place, and everything ready for the work of focusing. After we have the camera in place and everything ready for a snapshot we meet the first difficulty. Wc cannot stay at the camera to work the shutter because a bird Is. afraid of a still object like a motionless camera, so by Inventing a way to make a snapshot from a distance we solve tho problem. There are two ways of doing this. First, a string may be tied to the shutter-release, and stretched to a convenient hiding-place. From here the bird's action may be watched with an opera glass and the string pulled and a snapshot made at the dealred moment The 'second method Is applicable to cam eras with pneumatic release. Here a long tube may bo used. The alr is forced through this tube with a large bulb or a blcyclo pump. And no difficulty Is encoun tered as in 'the other method because of the entanglement or the string. Birds at their nests In trees are photo graphed In u similar manner. The camera may be fastened to the branches with straps or cords, or by a ball and socket clamp such as Is used to fasten cameras to the handle-bars of bicycles. The photo graphing of birds that build their nests In dark places necessitates the use of something which will make the place light enough for snapshots. Flashlight powders may be used, but the bright flash tends to frighten away the bird. The reflection of the sun with a mirror la the easiest way to get sufficient light for quick work. Phoebes' nests under bridges, wrens' nests on verandas and chimney swifts' nests down in dark chimneys are only a few examples where reflected light may be used to advantage. The red-tailed hawk, or hen-hawk, as he Is commonly called, is almost as large as the bald eagle, and Is a big bird in every way. His nest Is placed among the branches in the tops of the largest trees. His eyes are very sharp and any Intrduer is seen long before he reaches the nest tree. The method used to photograph other birds Is obviously Impossible in the case of the hawk. Necessity, however, soon suggests new methods to suit the case. After many unsuccessful attempts made In the usual way Mr. Hegner worked out a line of action which finally "brought to bay" tho most coveted pic tures.. The nest chosen was built in a white birch tree, 50 feet from the ground. It could be seen for miles around, as a black mast contrasted with the white trees on the hillside. There was no way of approach which was not visible from the nest, and the birds always welcome human visitors with screams of anger and defiance. But their anirer was of nn nvnM they were conquered In the following manner: A box which looked like a camera was placed In a neighboring tree ten feet away and level with the nest. This was to accustom the hawks to tho presence of a camera. A week later a real camera was substituted for the "dummy." To the shutter release a string was attached and from there passed Into the other tree, across the nest, and tied to a limb on the other side. When the string was pulled the shutter snapped, and a photograph was made. The hawks of course had no fear of the camera since they only recognized It as the harmless "dummy" which had been there for a week. Much difficulty was encountered with the otrlrig, which was many times prematurely pulled by the wind, which swayed the tree tops. When this hap pened Mr. Hegner would take his camera home, thinking that tho hawk had pulled 1L Disappointment followed disappoint ment. Six times this happened, and each time the photographer was forced to make the six-mile trip into the country and climb one tree once and the other tree twice. At last the desired calm came, and two hours later the apparatus was put In place one of the birds returned and ran against the string, and took a picture of Itself and the nest.
