Branch of Congress.
IMPORTANT MEASURE COMES IIP
War Itevrime and Ship Subsidy Hills Will
itrrrive Consideration — H|irf(li l)y
Tow lie on riiill|>|ilue (Juration Awaited
With Keen Intereat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. i;8.—A variety
of subjects, Including appropriation
bills, the war revenue reduction, ship
subsidy bill and to some extent the
Philippine question will < laim the at
tention of tlie senate the coming week.
Monday Mr. Towne will speak on
the problems involved in the govern
ment of the Philippines. There is
somewhat more than usual interest in
this speech, net only because of air.
Towne’s reputation as an orat r and
the fact ttiut it will lie his only speech
in the senate on a political subject,
but because of increased interest in the
Philippine question aroused by the
president’s request of the senate for
early legislation cn this subject. It
docs not appear probable that the
Minnesota senator's speech will call
out ether speeches immediately on this
subject because even the senators who
would like to see legislation during
this session admit the impossibility of
taking up the matter seriously until
the report of the Taft commission can
be printed, or s > long as there are
other pressing questions before the
senate. Still, straggling references to
the subject are not improbable at any
time during the remainder of the ses
sion.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the fi
nance committee, has given notice
that the will ask the senate to take
up the war revenue bill early in the
week. The understanding is that he
will press that question to the exclu
sion of all other bills, except appro
priation hills. Being a revenue meas
ure, it will take precedence over all
other measures.
There is no real opposition to the
war revenue bill, but it appears prob
able that there will be some discus
sion of it as an oasy means of delaying
consideration of the subsidy bill. If
there is oppoi (.unity the subsidy bill
Will be taken up, but it is not expected
that anything more definite will occur
in this connection during the present
week than the making of speeches.
The week in the house is likely to be
monopolized by appropriation bills.
Seven of the fourteen general appro
priation bills have already passed the
house, namely, the executive, legisla- j
tive and judiciary, pension, military
academy, Indian, naval, river and liar- j
bors and District of Columbia bills.
Three others, the postoflice, agricul- -J
ture and fortifications bills, have been '
reported to th-' house, and the remain
ing four, the army, consular and dip
lomatic, sundry civil and general do- (
fleiency, are still in the committees
having them In charge. The three
reported to ilie house and the consu
lar and diplomatic, which Is practic
ally completed, probably will be dis
posed of during the week. Whatever
time remains will bo occupied with
the bill to promote the efficiency of
the revenue (litter service, which has
been made a continuing special order,
aiot, however, to interfere with ap
propriation bills.
The post office appropriation bill is
likely to be made the occasion of
much debate. All the questions rais
ed by the report of joint postal com
mission arc likely to be dragged into
the arena. An effort undoubtedly
will be made to continue the appro-,
priatlons for pneumatic tube service,
which were eliminated from the bill
and there probably will be the usual
fight on the appropriations for spe
-cial mail facilities.
IOWA VETERANS’ ENCAMPMENT.

SIOUX CITY. .Ian. 28.—Col. M B.Da
vis, commander of the Iowa (I. A. It.,
returned from Dubuque and announc
ed that the annual encampment of
Iowa veterans this year likely will be

public will be held in Dubuque during
the first week in June, subject to the
decision of the council of administra

tion before the date is definitely set

LONDON, Jan 28.—‘The war offiefl
has received troni the commarder-in
chier in South Africa a dispatch
dated Pretoria, January 2t*. reporting
numerous engagements, the following*
ing being the most important:
"Cunningham was engaged at Mld
dlefontein and Kopperfontein yester
day with Delarey's force. Babington,
while moving north from Vt ntorsdorp,
threatened the enemy's flank, where
upon the Boers retired west. Cun
ningham's casualties were two officers
wounded, four men killed, and thirty
seven wounded,
"In the engagement, at Lichlenlmrg,
January 17, some yeomanry wore cap
tured. These have since been releas
ed. with the exception of u major and
three men. No details are yet at
hand.
“Smith-Dorrien had a su< cr&ful en
gagement of live hours, while on the
march from W'ondeifonteln to Caro
lina. where the Boers had lately been
concentrating. The enemy were in
considerable strength and held the
river, but were driven out. Our
losses were one officer killed and two
officers and thirteen mea wounded.”
Lord Kitchener confirms the report
that a British train with coops and
military stores on board was; waylaid
and captured at Siijklipp. near Four
teen Streams, last Friday, but says
tlie Boers retired on tlie arrival of
the armored train sent in pursuit.
FAVORS Tlit SPOONTR Bill.
Filipino* I urge I.ep Ula(ion for Perma*
rnt Form of (iorernmfnt.
MANILA, .Ian. 28.—The executive
cuirunittee of the federal party has
filed a petition requesting the Philip
pine commission to urge upon Presi
dent McKinley that the passage of the
Spooner bill by congrats is an urgent
necessity, as the progress of the archi
pelago demands an authority which
can legislate and control tlie incor
poration of concerns, regulate mining
claims, dispose of public lands and
perform other functions not vested in
either the military or executive au
thorities.
The petitioners state that the time
is ripe for a general civil government,
the establishment of which will win
over those favoring the insurrection
while, at the same time, it will encour
age the natives to subscribe In favor
of the settled government in the Phil
ippines under American sovereignty.
Therefore they urge that the Spooner
bill, which empowers President McKin
ley, in his discretion, to declare the
insurrection ended and to establish a
civil government, be passed by the
present eongress.

Depew Supports His Views in Character
istically Brilliant Fashion.
THE ELOOR m GALLERY APPIALD
An Appeal for (lie UphtilUlinK of Ameri
can Merchant Marine— Dhcumlon of
tlie Problem* of Transportation In
terra#,Ing:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.—Senator
Depew of New York today delivered
in tiie senate a characteristically forc
ible and eloquent address in support
of the shipping bill. The address,
which Occupied just an hour, was in
the nature of an appeal for the up
building of the Ameri an merchant
marine by the granting of subsidies, 1
aa provided for In the pending mens- |
imp. His discussion of the problems !
of transportation which now confront
Ameri an manufacturers and Ameri
can farmers was notably interesting
and effective. The peroration In
which he urged that the American
flag be restored to (lie mastheads of
the freightcarrying ships of the t'ni
ted States was a brilliant piece of or
atory and elicited cordial applause
from the senators on the floor and the
crowds in the galleries. Little prog
ress was made with the Indian ap
propriation lull. The last hour of the
senate day was consumed in the puss
ege of private pension Dills.
Senator Depew began with a sur
vey of the country's first century of
development, pointing out. the im
mense material progress that had been
made in agriculture and manufac
tures, how our exports had grown to
f 1,500,000.000 annually in excess of our
imports and how the internal linos
of communication had developed into
the most comprehensive in the world.
But. he insisted that the development
of the country had been one-sided.
While prepared to feed and clothe
half of the world outside of the Uni
ted States, we had developed our
transportation system only to our own
roast lino and had allowed our mer
chant marine to remain undeveloped,
so that there was actually a greater
tonnage of American vessels built In
this country for the foreign trade In
1807 than in 1900. Said Mr, Depew:
“The farm, the factory and the'
mine have filled the warehouses and
docks of our Atlantic and Pacific
coasts wdth their contributions to na
tional wealth, employment and the
happiness of our people, and left
their transportation to Europe, to
Asia, to Africa, to South America and
to Australia, to the greed of foreign
ship owners, to the protection of for
eign flags and to the hazards of for
eign wars.
"A general collision, which Is often
predicted in the European newspa
pers. among the great powers of Eu
rope. in the mad haste of their na
vies and armies to outstrip each oth
er in the acquisition of spheres of in
fiuence In Asia and Africa, would act
upon the United States, who might
he simply a spectator of the conflict,
as an embargo upon our coist. We
would be shut up with ourselves as
absolutely as if the navies of the
world were blockading our ports.”
booking to the remedy for the pres
ent stagnation in the American mer
chant marine, Mr. Depew said the
cry of "free ships” had long ago been
discounted. It was not to be consid
ered as a remedy, for it. left out of
the question the development of an
American shipbuilding industry. The
plan of discriminating duties, he said,
was also Impracticable. France had
tried it and been forced to repeal its
law within a year. No nation would
submit to discriminating duties wlth
out retaliating against us. and no na
tion like ouis, which is more of a
sdle-r than a buyer, can afford to
provoke such retaliation and thus
stimulate production in Russia. In
dia, Egypt, against our cotton and our
corn. The speaker’s conclusion was
that there remained only the sub
sidy as a practical solution of the
problem.
MAY GAIL fXTRA SESSION.
Message of President Sets the Senators
to Spe( ulat ii~.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.—The brief
recommendation in the message of the
president sent to the senate today,
urging immediate legislation in the
interest of the Philippines, caused
general surprise among the senators
and speculation on the probability of
an extra session of congress immedi
ately after March 3.
Senators generally have received,
they say, no intimation from the
White House that an extra session
would be desirable, but they unite in
saying no Philippine legislation is
possible during the remainder of the
present term.
The Spooner bill, vesting all power
of the government in the Philippines
archipelago in the president, is the
only Philippines general bill. It is
believed that vUione\er an earnest ef
fort is made to secure legislation
bearing on this subject much time
will be required. Some senators also
express the opinion that legislation
may be necessary in the Cuban situ
ation. and while there are differences
of opinion, all agree that if such ac
tion would become necessary it would
be impossible to secure it at this ses
sion.
rillPINOS ASK FOR A DEI AY
IJeal Incite Otrntre Wuli to lie Exempt
from Taxation.
MANILA, Jan. 25.—The hearing on
the municipal government bill today
developed an attempt on the part of
prominent Filipinos to secure a de'ay
of two years before taxing land where
the owners are unable to cultivate on
account of the dangerous situation in
the fighting territory. The bill orig
inally deferred taxation for a year.
The commissioners adopted an
amendment providing that land own
ers who are not implicated in the in
surrection after March and prove that
the unsettled conditions prevented
working land be exempted for the
second year.
Lieutenant Steele, with ton men of
the Forty-third regiment and seven
native soldiers, fought a fierce half
hour’s engagement wttli a large force
of Filipinos at Tenaguna, island of
Leyte, January 9. which resulted in
the killing of over 100 insurgents.
Private Edward McGugie of Company
M was killed.
The situation in the island of 8a
nnr since the increase of troops has
been quiet. Lukban's forces are hid

Captures, arrests and seizures of
arms continue in the unpaeified dis
tricts of tlie island of laizou.

NEW YORK, .Jan. 25.—Relatives of
Mrs. Schindler-Slebert look to Ne
braska to clear up the mystery of her
disappearance. She was one of the*
prettiest Kiris in Hoboken society and
a favorite daughter of the wealthy Ur.
Schindler. Several weeks ago she
suddenly disappeared. Police aiil was
invoked without success. Her father
was much troubled over the matter
and died last week. In his will he
left her 140,000.
John Schindler, her brother, has
just succeeded in tracing her. He
found she had gone with William
Siebert of New York, who also has
money. The twro were married and
went to Omaha. There they quarreled
and separated. The groom went to
Mussels Hill, Mont., and the bride to
Unshville, Neb., where she is now.
Mr. Schindler today received a letter
from Siebert detailing some of the
facts.
Schindler says: ‘‘We are all won
dering why my sister does not com
municate with us. She surely must
know by this time that father is dead
and th'U she is his heiress. My broth
er-in-law wants some of the money
and refuses to interfere with his
wife's actions.”
