WASHINGTON , Jan. 7. The sen
ate will continue to give practically
uninterrupted attention to the army
reorganization bill until that measure
shall bo disposed of. That the bill
iwlll pass no ono doubts , and the gen
eral opinion IH that It will get through
Bomo time during the present year.
Senator Hawley , chairman of the
committee on military affairs , ex
presses the opinion that the measure
will bo in conference Wednesday , but
other senators postpone the date some
what. There are several committee
amendments yet to bo considered , In
cluding those relating to the army
canteen and the veterinary corps.
It was supposed at ono time that the
canteen provision would cause pro
longed debate , but the best opinion now
is that comparatively little time will
bo spent on it. A number of amend
ments suggested by Individual senators
will bo considered at greater length ,
and some speeches on the bill as a
whole arc yet to bo made.
The provision of the bill authoriz
ing the enlistment of Filipinos in the
army of the -United States Is among
the features which arc almost cer
tain to come in for sharp attack.
With the army bill out of the way ,
the legislative , executive and judicial
appropriation bill will bo taken up ,
nnd after It other appropriation bills ,
if any arc In shape to ba consdorcd.
The ship subsidy bill will "be re-
stored , to the "calendar * ab the regular
order of business when 'the army bill
Is passed and It will bo pressed when
no appropriation bills a'ro waltlng-cdn-
sideratio'n.-
Next Saturday will be largely * devoted -
voted to eulogies upon the late Sen
ator Davis of Minnesota.
The consideration of the reappbr-
tionment bill will bo resumed tomor
row In the house. The Indications
point to a final vote upon the meas
ure on Tuesday , but the fight ever the
basis of , apportionment Is a bitter ono
and ther dobato. may bo prolonged.
The outcome Is not clear. Mr. Hap-
klns Is still confident that his bill will
carry , but In order to pull It through
he Is now ready to concede an Increti-o
of three members to cover the ma
jor fractions of , the states of Elorjda ,
Colorado and North Dakota.If.tiis .
bill passes It probably will bo with
this modification.
The opposition Is very aggressive ,
but on 'tho surface seems to lack the
strength necessary to carry tho1 Bu'r-
leigh bill. There are forces at work ,
however , by which the opposition
hopes , through the agencies of Sen
ator Quay , Senator Platt of Now York
nnd Senator Lodge of Massachusetts ,
to swing the delegation of Now York ,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts into
line , and if successful the Hopkjris bill
may suffer defeat. ' ' "
Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana „ "will
move to recommit the bill with In
structions to reduce the representation
of the southern states , but there Is
no Idea that such a proposition will
rrovnll.
After disposal of the reappor-
tlonment bill the river and harbor
bill will be taken up. It Is expected to
consume two days. The remainder of
"the week will bo devoted to appropria
tion bills. The District of Columbia
bill probably will bo the next of the
supply bills to bo considered.

PHIL ARMOUR IS DEAD.

CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 7. Philip Dan-
forth Armour phllnu-.tiroplstt flna-
clcr and multi-millionaire , head of
the vast commercial establishment
that bears his name died at his home ,
2115 Prairie avenue yesterday.
A muscular affection of the heart ,
known to the medical profession as
myocarditis , was the Immediate cause
of death. He had beeii slowly rccov-
oHng from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. At 9
o'clock this morning his heart gave
way under the strain of his recent
lllncso , his pulse running up to 103.
That was the beginning of the end.
Mr. Armour was surrounded by hla
family when he died. Those at his
bedside beside his physician and
nurses were his wife , Mrs. Philip D.
Armour , Jr. , and Mr. and Mrs. J. Og-
dcn Armour , nnd Kcv. Frank Gun-
saulus The millionaire retained con
sciousness until within an hour ol
his death.
During the day ho had realized that
death was near. To those around him
ho had said :
"I know I am very sick , and am
ready for death when It comes. "
Soon after luncheon , nnd Just be
fore the physician forbade his talking
more , Mr. Armour In feeble tones said
that ho would llko to hear the Lord's
prayer read.
Ono of the trained nurses who had
been attending him , drew a chair to
the bcdsldo and slowly read from the
bible the prayer for which the dying
man had asked. It was read sentence
by sentence nnd each was repeated
by Mr. Armour. When the "amen"
had been repeated by him , ho sank
back on the pillow and closed his
eyes restfully. It was the last word
the great financier spoke , except feeble
farewells to his family a little later.
Dr. Frank Blllins , who was at Mr.
Armour's bedside when the end came ,
and who had been almost constantly
in attendance upon the sick man ,
stated tonight that ho had heard Mr.
Armour make no mention of his Inter
est in or pronts arising irom tno gi
gantic Milwaukee-Groat Northern
deal , by which he has reputed to have
made $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 last week.
"Ho looked upon such holdings , "
said Dr. Billings , "as Investments rath
er than from the speculative view
point. "
"Wo were not altogether unpre
pared for my father's death , " said J.
Ogden Armour. "All the members of
the family had been here since the
relapse of this morning , in anticipa
tion of the most serious turn of
events. "
The news of Mr. Armour's death
spread rapidly through the city and
tonight there were many callers ax
the Prairie avenue mansion.
Mrs. Armour retired to her-apart
ments and during the evening saw
only the members of her immediate
family. J. Ogden Armour , who , with
his wife , had been at the bedside of
the dying millionaire all day , received
the callers during the evening.
It was announced that the funeral
services would be held probably at
the Armour mansion , either Tuesday
or Wednesday. . They will be conduct
ed by Dr. Gunsaulus , and , in keeping
with the llfo and habits of the deceased -
ceased , will bo simple In character.

The Washington monument is said

Vandals are carrying it away In their

being defaced. In many places the
inscriptions on stones contributed by
the various ntates of the union , as
well as those sent by organizations ,
have been greatly Injured. From the
appearance of some of the marble It
bos been attacked with inron instru
ments. Letters have been broken off
the tablets. While the great bulk of
the damage Is doubtless done by relic
hunters , som i of the highly polished
stones have been Injured simply for
the sake of defacing them.

Tacoma , Wash. , Jan. 5 , 1901. ( Spe
cial. ) "I used to have Heart Disease ,
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills I
now have Heart's Ease.
"Five years ago 1 was a continual
sufferer of Heart Disease. Exposure
during the war , and a tendency to grow
over fleshy , had greatly aggravated
this dread disease. I often had to sit up
halt the night. I had It so bad when I
would llo down. Life looked pretty blue
to me , as I thought there was no relief ,
until one day I read an advertisement
of Dodd's Kldnoy Pills. I bought a box
that same day , nnd It was the best
day's work I ever did. Before I had
used all the first box I could cat and
sleep better than I had done for many
years , and after three months' faithful
treatment , my health was completely
restored. I am an old man now , but
my step-is as elastic and my brain as
clear as when I was thirty years of
age. "

" DKAU Mns. PINKIIAM : l was n sufferer from fcnrnlo wcnlcncBa for
about a your and a half. 1 have tried doctors and patent medicines , but
nothing helped me. I underwent the horrora .of local treatment , but ro-
ceivcd no benefit. My ailment was pronounced ulcerntion of the womb.
1 Buffered from , intense pains in the womb and
ovaries , and the biiclcnchu was dreadful. I had
Icucorrhncn In lt wor ? > t form. Finally , I grew so
weak 1 had io keep my bed. The pains were BO
hard au to almost cause spasms. When I could
endure the pains no longer , 1 was given morphine.
My memory grew short and I gave up all hope of
getting well. Tims I dragged along. To plcaso
my sister I wrote to Mrs. 1'iiudmiii for advice. Her
answer came , but meantime I waa taken woruo
and was under the doctor's care for a while.
" After reading Mrs , I'lnUlmm's letter , I con
cluded to try her medicine. After talcing two
bottles I foil much better ; but after using six
bottles I was cured. All of my frlenda think my
cure almost miraculous. I thank yon very much
