May Attach .l-‘The House Bill To
River and Harbor Measure.
CONDIDERENG PROPOSITION
This “'onld Insure the Matter Being
Brought to a Vote in the House Despite
Speaker [hell’s Opposition. There are
l’recedcnts for this Course.
“flushington, D. 0.. Feb. 9.-A propo-
sition to add the House Nicaragua ca-
nal bill as an amendment to the river
ant harbor bill in the Senate is now
under consideration. The adoption of
on Sen. tor Frye, chairman of the Sen-
ate commerce committee. and it is be.
licvcd that he will approve of it. The
status of the Nicaragua bill is as fol--
lows:
The Senate has passed the Morgan
bill, with amendments, and the House
committee has favorably rcrorted the
Hepburn bill, with amendments. These
bills differ greatly in form, but the.
House bill gives the president great
latitude and might admit of his paying;
for 'work donemn the canal by private
'corporé’tiot‘s as is l'contempla'tedli’n the
Senate bill. _
It is claimed that there is an over-
whelming majority in the House for
the bill, but that Speaker Reed is llot
disposed to give time for its consid-
eration. At the suggestion of Mr. Bar-
hanl, a member of the House commit-
tee, the proposition has been made to
attach the House bill to the river and
harbor bill, which is now before Sena-
tor Frye’s committee.
The objection that might be raised
to this method of getting a. vote on
the measure is that it provides for
work on water ways outside the Uni-
ted States. and therefore has no place
on the river and harbor bill. This ob-
jection is answered by the citation of
the fact that an appropriation for the.
improvement of Pearl Harbor, in Ha-
waii, was made in a river and harbor
bill while that island was foreign :er-
ritory, and that an appropriation was
made for Page Page Bay, Samoa, and
that other like appropriations have
been made in river and harbor bills.
It is stated that Senator Morgan is
willing to accept the House Nicaragua
. bill as an amendment to the river and
harbor bill and that Senator Frye ap-
pears to be favolably disposed if the
precedents are established. The ques-
tion is to be settled at a conference.
In the House.
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 9.-——[n the
House yesterday Mr. Corliss. Republi-
can of Michigan, called Tip the Senate
bill to amend the‘ law requiring bal-
lots for members of Congress L") be
written or printed so as to permit the
use of machines where autllcl-ized by
the laws of the State. The bill was
passed, 94 to 44.
When the regular order-was called
for Mr. Mercer, Republican of Nebras-
ka, chairman of the public buildings
and grounds committee, instead of
moving to go into committee of the-
whole for the consideration of the re-
maining bills reported from the com-
mittee, indicated his purpose, first to
pass the b"ls favorably acted upon
by the committee of the whole Mon-
day. The members who still had bills
uuacted upon objected strenuously to
this proceeding, and finally. under the
threat of filibustering Mr. Mercer
yielded and the. House went into com-
mittee of the whole and took up the
remaining bills in their order.

Army Bill to be Passed.
Washington, D. C Feb. 9.--There is
every reason to believe that the army
reorganization bill will pass the Sen~
ate with a fey slight amendments.
The Democrats, held by German
against the treaty, cannot be kept in
line against the army bill. Senators
Murphy and Smith especially fave:
the measure, and there are others who
opposed the treaty, but who will vote
for the Hull measure.
The only hope of the opposition is
to filibuster. Senator Gorman being
a member of the committee on appro—
priations, will endeavor to have all‘ the
appropriation bills considered and pos-
sed by the Senate before the army bill
is taken up The minority. are willing
to pass a. resolution continuing the ar-
my another year on its present basis,
‘ and they hope to compel a compromise
on this ground.

Beef Testimony is Not
Substantiated.
W'ashington, D. 0., Feb. 9.-—The war
investigating commission has complet—
ed its labors and its report will'be in
the hands of the president to-daY-
The report of the war commission is
a voluminous document of 150 printed
pages. The report makes an important
feature of the beef issue and dismisses
as a. general proposition the charges
that have been made against the beef
furnished the army. It finds, it is un-
derstood, that most of the beef was
such as could be properly furnished as
an emergency ration, pointing out that
the evidence showed it never was in-
tended to be anything but an emer—
gency ration.
It says that there were only two wit-
nesses who really testified against the
beef, General Miles and Major Daly,
the chief surgeon, who made the report
regarded as the most sensational for-
warded to the commission by General
Miles. -
As to the testimony of these two wit-
nesses the commission, it is understood,
goes on to Point out the mass of evi-
dence submitted to the contrary as off-
setting this testimony.
As to such of the canned beef as was
found to be objectionable, the commis-
sion points out the effect of the tropi-
cal climate in producing liquefaction
of the fat in the meat and the conse—
quent rendering of the contents un—
palatable.
Most of the beef, though, is found to
have been satisfactory for emergency
use, where fresh beef or beef on the
hoof could not be procured.
The strictures cf General Miles made
publicly on the beef and his public
expressions in other ways, it is under-
stood, are subjected to a severe criti-
cism.
The methods and manner of loading
the transports in General Shafter’s
Cuban expedition are also discussed
and responsibility placed for the re-
sults.
The report finds that the statements
of chemical treatment made by Gen-
eral Miles, on the authority of Major
Daly, are not borne out by the chemi—
cal experts, who were also placed on
the stand.
1t quotes from Major Daiy’s testi-
mony and then takes up the testimony
of Chemists Clarke of the Geological
Survey and Bigelow of the Agricultu-
ral departmentfwho examined analy-
ses of the beef submitted and finds that
as a chemical expert Major Daly' is
not supported by other chemical au-
thorities and that therefore his testi-
mony is regarded as not worthy of
‘ credence.
Saved Hul- Gems from a Thief.
St. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 9.—The cot-
tage occupied by Alexander B. Coxe,
millionaire coal miner and philanthro—
pist, of Drifton, Pa., and his family,
as a. winter residence, was robbed of
jewels worth more than three thous-
and dollars Tuesday night, but Mrs.
Coxe’s bravery 'saved many thousand
doliars’ worth of jewelry and silver
after a hard struggle with the bur-
glar. .
Mrs. Coxe awoke at two o’clock in
the morning and reaching for medi-
cine, touched instead the arm of a
man. The plucky woman jumped
from the bed on the man, and seizing
hlim, slammed the door. Her cries
alarmed the household, but not in time
to assist in capturing the burglar, who.
shaking her off, wriggled about the
floor, feeling for the door.
Again Mrs. Coxe grasped him, but
the burglar, finding the door knob,
threw the door open, and breaking
away, disappeared down the stairs.
Mrs. Coxe followed him to the door,
crying for help.
The thief took one ring, with three
diamonds, valued at one thousand dol-
lars; one ring with three diamonds,
one of which was a rare yellow stone
valued at eighteen hundred dollars;
one pin with twelve pearls, valued at
five hundred dollars, and an engrthed
wedding ring.
Many gems, valued at more than
twenty thousand dollars, were found on
the floor, where they had been drop-
ped by t burglar when Mrs. Coxc
attacked him. ‘
_ Big “'iunlpcg Hotel Burned.
Winnipeg, Man, Feb. 9.——The’ Hotel
Manitoba, the property of the North-
ern Pacific Railway, is a smoking mass
of unlus’to-day. Fire was discovered
in the dining room shortly after mid-
night, and in less than four hours the
magnificent structure was entirely de-
strayed.
At first very little importance was
attached to the fire. as only smoke
could be seen, but in a very few min-
utes it-had gained such headway that
it was found-necessary .to- send in a
general alarm. Two hours later the
building was a total wreck.
There were four h‘ndred guests in
the building, but no one was injured.
There were many narrow escapes, how-
ever. .The night was bitterly cold and
many of those who were turned out in
scant clothing suffered from the ele-
ments. -Several were badly frostbl’t- .
en.
t The building was one of the finest
in Canada. It was erected in 1891 and
was seven stories in height.
The total loss is placed at four hun-
dred thousand dollars. Many of thr
' guests lost heavily in personal effects

“Martha, doest thee love me?” asked
a Quaker youth of one at wheat:
shrine his heart’s fondest feeling had
been olfered up.
“Why, Seth," answered she, “we
are commanded to love one another.
are we not?” '
“Ah, Martha, but doest thou regard
me with that feeling the world calls
love?”
“I hardly know what to tell thee.
Séth. I have tried to bestow my love
on all; but i have sometimes thought.
perhaps, that thee was getting more
than thy share.”
