Frye and Aldrich Were the Participants—The Pension Appro- priation Bill Passed—The Rou- tine Work of the House. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The illness of Mr. Allison (Rep., Ia.) and Mr. Warren (Rep. , Wy.) was referred to in the chap- lain’s prayer at the Opening of the senate today, and the earnest» hope was expressed for their speedy recovery. When Mr. Sherman (Rep., 0.) favorably reported several bills authorizing the ac- ceptance of medals, etc, from foreign gov- ernments to United States officials, Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb.) interposed an objection, and the bills went over. The joint resolution for the payment of congressional employees prior to the holi- dayswas agreed to. The bill was passed extending the time for building a. "bridge over the Missouri river at Lexington, Mo. Mr. Mitchell (Rep., Or.) spoke briefly in favor of an amendment to the statutes Which he offered providing that all sur- vivors of wars should be included with dis- abled soldiers of the late war in the prefer- ence given in appointment to government ofiices. ‘ His bill was referred. The pension appropriation bill was then taken up. Mr. Gallinger (Rep., N. H. ), chairman of the committee on pensions supporting the bill, made caustic reference to recent statements as to “pension frauds. ” The senator expressed great surprise on finding in the president’s message that the executive had not yet disabused himself of the idea that rascality pervaded the pension system. Mr. Gallinger said that,‘\so far as the present administration of the ension bureau was concerned, it was wcfihy of full approval, for the man at its hl. (1 had . shown himself to be in full sympathy with the old soldiers. But ”the senator said he believed it was time “go pri‘zfirthis bubble which the president is cons ntl'y‘dbtrud: ing before the public fie to pension frauds. ” Few Cont Votions Had. Mr. Gallinger pdinted out that only 167 convictions is. pension cases had occurred within},‘ '3‘ year, and these, as a rule, Were not against pensioners. He‘ protested against the president’s continued attacks on the pensioners and his constant sugges- tion of frauds as not constituting a roll of ‘ honor and expressed the belief that con- gress in no way shared this hostile attitude of the president. Mr. Hawley (Rep., Conn.) spoke in the same line, pointing out that the 167 con- victions were an insignificant percentage of the 2,000,000 pension cases. The pension appropriation bill was then passed without division. It is identical with the bill as it passed the house and carries $141,328,580. The bill will now go to the president. ‘ The senate bill was passed to fix the title to certain private land claims in Louisi- ana, Mr. Blanchard (Dem., La.) explain- ing that it applied to about 80,000 acres in tracts of 280 acres. Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo.) then called up the Dingley bill for the pur- pose of making some remarks. He said he appreciated he was talking of a dead‘is- sue, and he would not allude to it if many well meaning people were not urging on congress to act upon this measure. He re- garded the Dingley, bill as one of the most remarkable pieces of legislation ever pre- sented. It was the result of the president’s warning to congress one year ago that the condition of the finances was so dangerous that the usual holiday recess might well be abandoned. Mr. Vest paid a. strong tribute to Wil- liam J. Bryan and pointed out that 6,000,- 000 votes were cast for him. At the close of the speech a sharp tariff debate occurred between Messrs. Vest, Mills, Frye and Al- drich. In the House. Mr. Bailey (Dem., Tex.) created a ripple of excitement at the opening session of the house today by asking for the immediate consideration of a resolution to investigate the construction of the battleship Texas. In presenting the resolution be called at- tention to the allegations made in many newspapers that the construction of the vessel had been grossly mismanaged and expressed the opinion that the country was entitled to know the facts. Mr. Dingley (Rep. , Me.) thought the resolution ought to be considered by the committee on naval affairs before being acted upon by the house. He therefore ob- jected, and the resolution was referred. The house a. little later went into com- mittee of the whole to censider the mili- tary appropriation bill. , A New Pension Ruling. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Under a recent decision of Assistant Secretary of the In- terior Reynolds a desertion from the regu- lar army under an enlistment subsequent to a. service and honorable discharge from the rebellion is not a. bar to pension under the act of June 27. The original holdings of the previous administration in first con- struing this act and all subsequent deci- sions have been overruled because it held the honorable discharge contemplated un- der that act is from a. service in the war of the rebellion only. It is reiterated that, in harmony with the plain terms of the June act and all previous decisions, dis- honorable discharge operates as a. bar to pension to the soldieror his widow and children under that act, but is not a. barto such pension under the general law for disabilities contracted in the service or for death from causes originating therein, This is in line with a long established practice. -. Hopeful Outlook For Recognition. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—-The senate com- mittee on foreign affairs held a called meeting today. Cuba was discussed, and it is believed that at the next meeting it will be decided to report the Cameron resolution. ' One Dov Government Receipts. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—National bank notes received today for redemption, $388,- 579; government receipts from internal revenue, $358,296; customs, $442,018; mis- cellaneous. $38,313. Abraham lVlIite'as a Corporation. A NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Abraham White 2 of 16 Broad street, who successfully. bid for large blocks of government and munic- ipal bonds, has organized a corporation to carry on that business. On Monday there was filed in the oflice of the secretary of state by Louis A. Chandler a. certificate of incorporation of the Abraham White Bond company, with a capital of $40,000. \ THE HAWAIIAN MUDDLE. . Minister Cooper Is In This Country to _ Urge Annexation. SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 17.——The secret of Henry Cooper’s mission to the United States is out. Mr. Cooper is the Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs. He formerly lived in San Diego and was a prominent member of the bar. He is here and is quoted as saying that he came to the United States to urge annexation, owing to the fear that the Hawaiian government has of Japan. The situation in Hawaii, according to Judge Cooper, is that the Japanese for out- number all other foreigners. The Ameri- . cans are a. handful in comparison. Hawaii has a. treaty with Japan and cannot ex- clude the Japanese, who are pouring into thétisland steadily and pushing into every business. They are losing the humble demeanor that. characterizes their countrymen on the coast, and through their great numbers and the prestige of the J apanese-China war are beginning to chafe for the elective franchise. If they force Hawaii to give them the right of vote, then American as- cendency will be at an and forever. Judge Cooper has laid the situation be- fore influential men in the east and has so won, upon their judgment that he believes great strides will be made during the next year toward annexation under the McKin- ley administration. ' Fatally Burned by Alcohol Flames. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. 17.—Arth ur Whitney, a barber, was fearfully' burned at his home in this city and will probably die from injuries received. He was in bed sick with neuralgia, and his mother was heating alcohol over a gas stove. The alco- hol took fire, and Whitney jumped out of bed and attempted to put out the blaze by blowing it. His nightshirt caught fire, and be rushed out into Main street. He was taken to the Springfield hospital. Trouble on the London Docks. LONDON, Dec. 17.—At a. meeting of the Dockers’, Seamen’s, Firemen’s and Coal Porters’ unions it was decided to recom— mend that all (lockers and water side la.- borers should demand an increase of 10 shillings weekly in their wages, and that if this was not granted a general strike was recommended on the London docks. .At a mass meeting of the dockers later, at which Tom Mann was present, the plan was enthusiastically indorsed. Ah Iceberg“ Straight Ahead. MONTREAL, Dec. ‘1'}.4-1‘2he Furness line steamer Halifax City, which has just ar- rived at Halifax from London, had a next: row escape last Friday. A heavy snow- storm had prevailed, but for a short time the weather cleared, and it was discovered that there was an enormous iceberg direct- ly ahead.

Finally he heard the angry voice of His Honor through a six-inch brick wall and agreed to fix the scales with the aid of Gus" Weber.

The Curious Way in Which Time is Told in Some Places by the Natives. Liberia, in Africa, has neither clock the reck- oning of time is made entirely by the movement and position of the sun, which rises at 6 a. m., and sets at 6 p. m., almost to the minute, the year round, and at noon it is vertically over- head. The islanders of the South Pa- cific have no clocks, but make a eu- rious time-maker of their own. They take the kernels from the nuts of the candle tree and wash and string them onto the rib of a palm leaf. The first or top kernel is then lighted. ' All of the kernels are of the same size and substance, and each will burn a certain number of minutes, and then set fire to the next one below. The na- tives tie p’nces of bark cloth at regu— lar intervals along the string, to mark the divisions of time. Among the natives of Singer, in the Malay ,Archipe’lago, another peculiar device is used. Two bottles are placed neck and neck, and sand is put in one of them, which pours itself into the other one 9‘ ~I'y half-hour, when the Iottles are reversed. There is a line near by,a1so, on which are hung twelve . rods, marked with notches from one to twelve.
