of the necessity for the Increase In the regular army provided for In the pend ing nieaKtire The Philippine question was threshed over at great length bill few reiilly new polntn were ailvuneed II was urged by the supporters of the army bill that the situation In the Philip pines demanded tho Inereuso of the army proposed TIiIm was eoutroverted by the opposition sonutors who while they were willing In a general wuy to provide for Hitch temporary force as might be needful were vigorously opposed to the creation of a perma nent standing army of 100000 men Speeches were made by Carter Toller Hoar Stewart and Ou fiery One of the sharpest colloquies of the session was between Carter and Well ington and In Hie course of It the Alaskan boundary dispute was brought forward prominently the Maryland senator charging that the president hnd relinquished sovereignly over territory the title to which ho maintained was rested clearly In the United Slates Hoar advanced a proposition to cre ate n commission to be composed of all shades of political opinion to In vestigate the entire Philippine ques tion nnd report Its llndlngs to congress In order that basis might be formed for Intelligent action Some slight progress was made toward the com pletion of the pending measure HOUSE PROCEEDINGS lruuolilsn Abridgement Itesoliitlou He for rod to Census Comhilttue Washington Jan 5 The house yes terday had another spirited struggle over tho Olmsted resolution to Investi gate the abridgement of the suffrage In certain southern states with a view to reapportionment upon the actual basis of suffrage It was dually re ferred to the census committee where tho opposition desired It to so origi nally t The debate was marked by exceed ing frankness Some of the southern members nvowed that the attempt lo enfranchise the negro had been a la mentable failure nnd the action of cer tain states In legally eliminating the blacks as factors at the polls they said wns in the Interest of civilization and progress MePermott N 1 asserted that every state In the Union either added to or subtracted from the con stitutional requirements of voters and challenged any member to show to tho contrary one that did not After the resolution had been thus disposed of the reapportionment bill was taken up and debated by Hopkins Ills and Shafroth Colo An attempt to agree upon a time for the dual vote on the bill failed although the general Impression Is that the debate will con clude early next week FORECAST OF CONGRESS Senate Will Devote ll Tlmu to Army Ito- organlullou inent Meuiuro In House Washington Jan 7 The senate will continue to give practically uninter rupted attention to the army reorgan ization Mil until that measure shall be disposed of That the bill will pass no one doubts and the general opin ion Is that it will gel through some time during the present week The provision of the bill authorizing the enlistment of Filipinos In the army of the United States Is among the feat ures which arc almost certain to come lu for sharp attack The ship subsidy bill will he restored to tho calendar as the regular order of business when the army bill Is passed and It will be pressed when no appropriation bills are waiting consid eration The consideration of the reapportion iiieut bill will be resumed today In the houbc Tho Indications point to a llnnl vote upon the measure tomorrow but the tight over the basis of appor tionment is a bitter one and the tie bate may bo prolonged The outcome is iiot clear Hopkins is still coull dent that his bill will carry but lu ol der to pull it through he Is now ready to concede an Increase of three mem bers to cover tho niujor fractious of the states of Klorlda Colorado and North Dakota If this bill passes It probably will be with this inodltica tlou Tho opposition Is very aggres sive but on the surface seems to lack the strength necessary to curry the Burleigh bill There are forces ut work however by which the opposi tion hopes through the agencies of Senator Quay Senator Plutt N Y nnd Senator Lodge Mass to swing the delegations of New York Pennsyl vania and Massachusetts into line and if successful the Hopkins bill may suf fer defeat Crutnpacker will move to recommit the bill with instructions to reduce the representation of the south ern states but there is no Idea that such a proposition will prevail NiONDAY Washington Jan 8 jL notabU gpeocli was delivered lu tlia sonata yes terday j Lodge Addressing tlit seiuile on the uiiioiitlmeut of the military committee striking out the provision In

In conclusion he drew u brjlllant word picture of the commercial future of the United States declaring that the trade conflict with Europe already begun could result only In the commer cial and economic Hiipromncy of this country over the eullre world In this Industrial coulllct ho apprehended no danger from a material contest with any nation of tho world but he urged the necessity for a strong and selen tlllcnlly organized uiv and a powerful navy In order that i lies might he prepared to defend IN fights against any poslhle war The speech created a profound Impression During I he

Alexander Ireland mas ter has dropped down the channel in three tides hns taken her departure from Luudy Island and Is now well out of domestic navigation Astern is a thin black wavy lino rising above the waste of waters the last we shall see of the Iron bound coast of Devon for ninny a long day Ahead now blocked out of sight by the straining spritsall beneath the boltsprlt now dazzling our eyes with Its Hashing glory Is the burning yellow sun Just living over the edge of tho world luting us on as It were with visions of n laud where everything Is bright und golden us himself What a bea con for a crew of eager gold hunters The worthy muster Peter Walthnm hnd gladly availed himself of our pro posal Fitting out began less than 12 hours after the pagan hnd told his tale nnd In a fortnight wo were ready for sen Ninety three men were lying about the decks drunk as lords when we llrst loosed our two topsails to drop down the river and three sober ones and live olllcers 101 till told nnd a crew of which we were proud We made a bud hunt to begin with getting up post the feewurd Islands und Into tlu great gulf which lies be yond tliom before the westward course was given up Then being convinced that we had overshot our mark aud that the river of our search was be hind us Alec gave tho word to bout ship and we mnde our way slowly back again In the face cf a tensing suc cession of easterly winds The heat ut times was awful nnd crowded as we were the atmosphere tween decks was anything but restor ing to our unfortunately numerous sick men Scarcely three days pnssed with out some poor scurvy rotted corpse be ing thrown to the sharks whose black fins never stirred from our wnke Mntters got worse and worse till the grumbling of tho crew came to a head In open mutiny The sultry heat of the day was al most killing Not a breath of air tarnished the brnzen sen hut over the mangrove bushes which fringed the low shore to westward hung a sullen white steam which shut out the coun try from our eyes One would have thought that the weather was too hot for any exertion that could possibly be Avoided but discord like the devil can live lu nny clime and on tills broiling day the sound ones of the crew made their wny aft lu a body A little Irishman whom Alec had taken In pity from the streets of Bris tol where ho was starving was their spokesmnn and his election to that post was not undeserved as lie had by his vnporings stirred up the whole mutiny Tho brown faced crowd surged against the break of the poop on which there were only us live olllcers and the steersman standing beside his idly swaying tiller Stop men Far enough cried Alec In authoritative tones What Is it you want Many things Masther Captain said the Irishman with an insolent laugh everything n man

from this and he drew a wheel lock pistol from his pocket will blow us all Into eter nity together Choose for yourselves You know what my word Is worth anil 1 swear to you that while Alexander Ireland lives mutineers shall never command the Bristol Merchant Now come ou If you will The mob of men wavered a moment and then drew back slowly to tho waist Good said Alec You think bet ter of it But I am going to make an example of the arch mischief maker Send that man aft Half by persuasion half by blows the Irishman was forced up the poop ladder Boatswain heave him overboard Aye aye sir Willie Trehallons knotted left hand grasped the little Irishman by the neck nnd his Iron hook slipped into the bund of his breeches A struggling body shot through the air bumped on the bulwark and slid with a splash into the warm sea beneath There was a scurrying of black triangular fins a shriek of agony a few ruddy bubbles rising to the oily surface and the great est enemy to the ships peace was si lenced forever A hush fell on the crew Each man looked nt his neighbor and then they all stole quietly forward again and had the calm continued more mischief might have been hntched among their whispering groups But Alecs keen eye detected a milling of the glassy wa ters to tho northward and that was our salvation Trim sail the watch he cried There was not a pause The men sprang to their stations braced round the yards to catch the first of tho com ing breeze and In ten minutes we were bowling merrily along The mutiny was a tiling of the past The wind lifted the mists from the shore and before we hnd way on tho ship an hour the pagan who wns stand ing In the beak began to dance nnd ges ticulate In the most extraordinary manner laughing and pointing wlthhis linger to the land on
