Feb. 25. The Senate today passed the agricultural appropriation bill, carrying nearly the postoffice appropriation bill, carrying the pension appropriation bill, carrying and the bill authorizing the establishment of an agricultural bank in the Philippine Islands. During the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill a strong fight occurred on the Bever-idge amendment requiring that the packers pay the cost of administering the meat inspection law. This was defeated on a point of order.

Senator Beveridge, however, secured the adoption of an amendment requiring that the date of canning and inspection appear on the label of the can containing the meat products of the packers. The postoffice appropriation bill was passed In an hour and 15 minutes, but not until amendments which added nearly $1,500,00 for the extension of the pneumatic tube service and requiring that postal cars should all be lighted with electricity were adopted. Senator Culberson offered an amendment to SenatoT Lodge's Philippine agricultural bank 13111, declaring that it was the intention of the United States to abandon the islands as soon as a stable Independent government could 'be established. This was defeated and the bill was passed as reported. TO BUILDING CAR LINE TAMPA-SULPHUR SPRINGS TRACTION CO.

AT WORK A large force of men, were engaged yesterday in removing the brick pavement on Lafayette street, between Franklin street and Florida avenue, preparatory to the extension to Franklin Street, of the tracks of the Tampa-Sulphur Springs Traction Co. The men worked fast and it" is believed that today the tracks will have been completed between the two thoroughfare. The rails will parallel on the south side of Lafayette street the track of the Tampa Elcctrie Co. It is not what the traction promoters intend doing next in the extension of their line, but. it is hardly probable that lie line will be extended wet on Lafayette street or north on Franklin btreet, since the Tampa Electric Co.

has both double-tracked for a considerable distance and there is no available space for a third track. The track may be extended on Franklin street southward. Manager Kirkpatrick, of the company, is very much gratified with the results thus far achieved and is in hopes of having cars soon in operation. DON'T PUT OFF Until tomorrow what you can do today.

Thaw will be temporarily excused in the morning to enable Mr. Jerome to introduce "Abe" Humimell to identify the photographic copy of the affidavit Mrs. Thaw is alleged to have signed, charging Thaw with cruelties during the trip to Europe in 1903.

She denied having tol'cl them, and also denied having signed such affidavits, but she admitted that she had signed papers for White in "the Tower." of the nature of which she 'L was unaware. Sensation Sprung. During the morning session Mr. Jerome played his strongest hand when, as an answer to his question, Mts. Thaw denied positively that she had ever been to see Dr.

Flint with Jack Barrymore. Dr. Flint appeared within a few feet of the witness on Mr. Jerome's call. When Mr.

Jerome asked the witness if she had ever seen him, she looked a bit startled, then dhtently at the phj'sician, and, turning to Mr. Jerome, shook her head and said, "Never." Harry Thaw was intensely "interested in this episode, and at the answer of his wife turned to a newspaper roan sitting near and said: "That man made a mistake in coming here. He stood there a liar; do you cateh the point? a liar." Later Mrs. Thaw went over some f. parts of Thursday's testimony, to the effect that she never handled any of White's letters of credit; that her mother got it all, and that concerning the cablegrams, they referred to A secretary of the American Em-f bassy In' London, who went to her mother's room when she was In bed and insulted her.

SUBSIDY NEAR ITS END CUBAN CROP GOOD MR. MACFARLANE TELLS OF CONDITION OF TOBACCO, There is no man in Tampa who better qualified to voice an opinion relative to the tobacco crop or conditions in Cuba than George R. Macfarlane, Deputy Collector of Cutoms for this port, who has recently returned from Havana. While away Mr. Macfarlane traveled extensively through the "Oem of the Antilles," and closely observed conditions on the island.

To a Tribune man yesterday he declared that the crop for this year will be one of the finest in the history of the island, the yield being prolific and the quality of the leaf of the very best. The planters are cheerful as a result of the prosperity that has leen meted them through their work and. in prospect, there is nothing to datnpen their ardor or preclude great financial returns unless it be continuous, excessive rainfall, and this is not anticipated. As has been suspected, the Liberal and Moderate factions cannot agree, but while this affects in a way conditions in and about Havana, it has so far shown no deleterious effect upon the provinces away from the capital. Mr.

Macfarlane is of the opinion that Cuba is more prosperous and now confronts a brighter future than ever before in her history. Havana a clean city and the smaller places are rapidly being, placed in the same condition. GUILTY OF FRAUD CLERK SEVENTY YEARS OLD ADMITS STEALING BONDS. (By Associated Press.) COLUMBIA, S. Feb.

(By Associated Prrcs.) NEW YORK, Feb. 25. E. IL Harrf. man, master of the Union Pacific system and many other big railroad men spent today in telling the Interstate Commerce Commission of the intimate "history of the financial operations of him self and his associates in behalf of th Federal Government.

Counsel for ths Government, particularly in examining Ilarriman, attacked the reorganizations and the financing of the Chicago and Alton Railroad by the Ilarriman syndicate This action met a challenge the counsel for Mr. Harrison, denying the right of the Commission to inquira into the private transactions of an Individ ual. By direction of Counsel, Mr. Harrimaa declined to tell what proportion of th preferred stock of the Alton that was sold to the Union Pacific belonged to him individually and the way was thus paved for taking the questions into, th Federal Courts. The point raised involves material limitations on the inquisitorial power of the Commission and is of utmost importance to the whole question of interstate corporation investigation.

Government Counsel sought to show the enormous profits in the Alton deal; of the inflation of watered securities by virtue ol the control of the stocks and bonds of the road. Mr. Ifarriman's testimony was a denial of all charges and toward the rlose of the afternoon Mr. Harrinmn made an extended explanation and defense of all his transactions, placing them 'on the basis of permanent investments. He said the money for the purchase of the Alton, the Baltimore Ohio and tha Illinois Central paper came from the sale of Northern Pacific stock, from which lie realized nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars.

DENTAL LICENSE BOWDEN ASKS MANDAMUS ORDERING ITS ISSUE TO DR. VALDOSTEGUE. Attorney II. E. Bowden, representing Dr.

Azcano Valdostegue, has prepared a writ of application to Judge Locke, of the Federal Court at Jacksonville, asking for a mandamus to compel Dr. G. Mason, of this city, a member of the Board of Florida Dentists, to jssua a temporary certificate to his client for the practice of dentistry here. Some time ago Mr. Bowden brought up this matter before Judge Minor S.

Jones in Circuit Court, but the latter deferred it to such time as Judge Wall, then sick, might be enabled to adjudge its merits. While 'Judge Wall was ill, Mr. Bowden went to Jacksonville and there appeared before Judge Call, who set aside the Bowden demurrer with an order that the attorney present the facts and law before Judge The latter has refrained from entering into the ease thus far and thus the writ by Mr. Bowden, who desires a hearing upon the subject before some tribunal. The attorney declares Dr.

Yaldostegue is a graduate of the most reputable dentistry school in Cuba and that he has iu his possession certificates from high authorities to this effect, which should convince Dr. Mason that he is deserving of a temporary certificate. Dr. Mason, who steadfastly refuses to issue a certificate, i3 represented by Don C. McMullen and W.

T. Martin. The case is a most interesting one in many respects and its outcome will be awaited expectantly by the general public. Chronic Constipation Cured. One who suffers from chronic constipation is in danger of many serious ailments.

OUR DISTILLERY DIRECT FROM i (n) ffl VV "c-itrr-av A few days ago the fact was mentioned in the columns of the Tribune that the trains of the Tampa Northern would be running into Brooks-ville in 90 days. The route from Brooksville further north had not then been determined, except in a general way.

It is now deflnitely declded that the Toad will run through Dunnellon, and a surveying corps is now in the field locating the line. The grading of this part of the road will begin as soon as the engineers locate it, and track-laying will follow as rapidly as the rails can be obtained. The distance from Tampa to Dunnellon over the Tampa Northern will be SO miles. By the ibuilding of this line Dunnellon will be brought 50 miles nearer to Tampa than to Jacksonville. In fact, all the territory on the line of this road south of its crossing of the Cedar Keys branch of the Seaboard, will be nearer to Tampa than to any other large city, and nearly all of the territory south of the River Junction brandh of the Seaboard will be nearer to Tampa over this line than to any other large city over one road.

This road will make Tampa the trading point of all the West Coast. Some of the finest land in Florida STUDENTS' ART CLUB. Report of Receipts and Expenditures ol Recent Exhibit.
