Mr. Frye (Me.) reported from the com- mittee on commerce a joint resolution recognizing the gallantry of Frank H. New- comb, commanding the revenue cutter Hud- son, and of his officers and men; also retir- ing Capt. Daniel B. Hodgsdon of the rev- enue cutter service for efficient and merit- orious services in command of the cutter Hugh McCulloch at Manila. The resolu- ticn extends the thanks of Congress to Lieut. Newcomb for his heroic gallantry in the action at Cardenas, when he and his crew rescued the Winslow and such of her crew as kad not been disabled or killed, and provides for a suitable medal of gold for Newcomb, silver medals for his officers and bronze medals for the members cf his crew. It also places Capt. Hodgsdon of the Mc- Culloch on permanent waiting orders at full duty pay. ane resolution was adopted without de- ate, Mr. Hale (Me.) of the naval committee then reported favorably a resolution ten- dering the thanks of Congress to Naval Constructor Hobson, who, with his crew of seven men, sunk the collier Merrimac across the entrance to the harbor of Santi- ago de Cuba, and providing for the trans- fer of Mr. Hobson from the construction corps of the navy to the line. The resolu- tion was also adopted. After the resolution had been adopted Mr. Hoar, addressing himself to the action just taken by the Senate, said: “All we do and all we have done for Naval Construct- or Hobson, in recognition of his distin- guished bravery, is to extend to him by seateetetecdetentertnngertuntetecoateroatengedoatet Oe a ss ee th ee a Sat seaheedoadontoateeeadeatead a Seatesgectiet er of good health and longevity. tains the system.

Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, made a point of order against the amendment. He Said the proposition would induce a week's debate. Unanimous consent was given Mr. Mor- gan to make a statement concerning the amendment.

But in this case, where a deed of special heroism was performed, it seems to me that we onght to recognize the men who volunteered to accompany him on his perilous undertak- ing. All were undergoing the same risk, and the names of the entire seven ought to be mentioned in the resolution. I would be glad to see this chamber filled with such heroes as those men are.” Mr. Hoar said that such recognition by Congress was one of the greatest marks of honor that could be conferred upon any man or men. Five hundred years hence the descend- ants of these men would know and would be proud to tell of the remarkable feat they had performed. He hoped, therefore, that Mr. Hale would consent to have the resolution reconsidered and the names of all of the heroes of the Merrimac inserted in the resolution. Mr. Perkins (Cal.) said that he had in mind the same suggestion, and had ob- tained from the Navy Department an ac- curate list of the names of the Merrimac volunteers. Mr. Hale said the President, always keenly alive to the proprieties, had sug- gested the form of the resolution in his Message to Congress, but he was certain that the suggested amendment would meet his approval. He therefore moved the re- consideration of the resclution, that the names of the crew might be incorporated. Mr. Sewell (N. J.) delivered a eulogy of the American soldiers and satlors. He de- clared they were all heroes. No deed of daring could be suggested that would not command instantly the services of scores of volunteers. Heretofore it had been the custom of Congress to grant the special favor of thanks only to men who wore shoulder straps, but he thought at this time, when our army was lying before the fortifications of Santiago, it would be well to recognize the private soldier and the common sailor, who by their gallaniry turned the tide of battles and made com- missioned officers great. Mr. Nelson (Minn.) hoped that the names of the men who accompanied Lieut. Hob- son in his perilous undertaking would be incorporated in the resolution. Not to Tecognize thus their gallantry was, to his mind, hostile to the spirit of American in- stitutions. Mr. Perkins said that naming the men specifically in the resolutions would be the establishment of a precedent that this country could well afford to establish. He drew a vivid word picture of the deed per- formed by the Merrimac’s gallant crew. The resolution was so amended as to in- clude the names of the crew who accom- panied Lieut. Hobson, and adopted. House iasist further upon its contentions. He pointed out that tomorrow would be the last day of the present fiscal year, and unjess the bill should pass before July 1 Songress would have to resort to a joint resolution to make the appropriations for the present year continuing until the new bill could be passed. He then reviewed the five points of difference between the con- ferees. They involve appropri: aus for public buillings at Annapolis, Md., and Butte, Mont., for a sanitarium and soldiers’ heme at Hot rings, S. D.; for the im- prevement cf the Yaquima bay, Oregon, and legislation affecting the status of the district attorney in the District of Colum- bia. Mr. Cannon said he would not be willing to yield upon any of the points without positive instructions, and he then pressed his motion. The House voted to insist upon all its disagreements, 117 members voting in the affirmative and nene in the negativ A vote was taken upon the bill to author- ize the appointment of a military store keeper for the army. The bill aroused v terday vigorous opposition, and tne Ho: adjourned pending disposal of it, the poiwt of no quorum being made. Mr. Handy (Del.) renewed today the op- siticn and made again the point of no quorum when the vote was taken. A call of the House followed, and the bill was finally passed, a quorum being dis- clesed. << GIRL ENTICED AWAY. Frances Gould Disappears Under Pe- cullar Circumstances. Frances Gould, sixteen years old, whose parents live near 2d and G streets north- east, disappeared from home Saturday, and her parents did not hear from her until yesterday afternoon.

Consideration of the general deficiency bill was then resumed. Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, offered numerous amendments, most of them add- ing small sums for various purposes. Among these was a provision increasing the salaries of the second and third assist- ant secretaries of state to $4,500 each. For Land About Penrl Harbor. The following amendment suggested by Mr. Hale gave rise to considerable debate: “For purchase, by condemnation, or oth- erwise, of not less than 800 acres of tand, at not exceeding $50 per acre, in Pearl Har- bor, Hawailan Islands, for a coaling and repair station, $40,000, and for dredging the bar in said harbor, to secure a channel of not less than thirty feet in depth, $105,000— in_all, $145,000. Mr. Spooner suggested that the amend- ment was loossly drawn. He contended that the Hawaiian Islands had not yet be- Possibility of the Sundry Civil Bill Failing to Pass. One of the most important appropriation bills of the session is likely to fail of pass- age before the beginning of the next fiscal year unless the Senate recedes from its in- sistence upon certain amendments. This would require the passage of a joint reso- lution before Friday to continue the appro- priations of the current year for the next fiscal year, beginning that day. The bill in dispute is the sundry civil bill, carrying appropriations of interest to every 7th ad- section of the country, with many large Setedetedetetetetntetetetntetetetntetetete . etn Seteedeetententedee, _ make here.

On his suggestion the amendment was so changed as to :nak3 the condemnation conditional upon its be- ing practicable. Mr. Pettigrew stated that all the 1. around the harbor was owned by private Parties, and that desirable for purchase by an Englisoman named Campb2ll, en anti- annexationist. This man hid told him that he would not part with ms Property for less than $73 per acre; hence it would be necessary to condemn in order to secure it at a less price. He also said Mr. Campbell owned the fishing rights and thus controls the entrance to the harbor. In this connec- tion Mr. Pettigrew found vpportunity to call attention to the superior advantage of the harbor in the Island of Kiska. ‘ If,” he sald, “the government is going to. make an appropriation for the improvement of a harbor in the Pacific, why not improve one in our own territory, and which is 1,000 miles nearer the Asiatic coast? The propo- sition simply exhibits more of this infernal nonsense about harbors which command ted ing but water and with nobody to ‘The discussion then took the form of a consideration of the title of the States to Pearl Harbor, in which Messrs. Hale, Spooner, Allen, Teller, Lindsay and others participated. Mr. Alien contended that the titls was a mere easement ter- minating with the Messrs. Hale and items concerning the District of Columbia. ‘The House is resolute in its opposition to the Senate amendments, and the vote today was unanimous to insist upon this agree- ment. ‘The Senate adopted an amendment to the bill providing for a public building at An- napolis, Md., and one at Butte City, Mon The House resisted these amendments on the ground that no public buildiags were authorized by the House in this Congress and that it would not be just to make an exception in the case of these two cities. ‘The Senate insisted that Annapolis is tne capital of a state and that it has always been the rule to give a public building to state capitals. The House met this with the proposition chat thcze are still three other state capitals unprovided with puvlic buildings. Another cause of conteation was a harbor appropriation for Yaquisa bay, Oregon. Nearly every member of the House has a river and appropriation, and there are strenuous vbjections to siagling wut cne project to the exclusion of all others. A District of Columbia item is in Jisprte between the two houses. The Senate in- upon out the appropriation to pay the United States district attorney | Home of the District. And notwithstanding reached the unanimous conclusion that but few if any reasons exist why the United States government should engage in the liquor traffic, even to the extent of legalis- ing or permitting the sal> of intoxicants within its immigrant stations, soldiers’ homes, military posts or any other build- ings under its contrel, including the or other government buildings with District of Columbia, or any reservation upon which any of said buildings are situ- ated. “Numerous reasons exist why the govern- ment should not only discourage, but abso- lately prohibit the sale of all intoxicants in all buildings and upon all grounds with- in the scope of this bill. To th mind it seems inconsis: gress of the United States she prohibiting the sale ants within 2 certain specified distance of a school house or church in the District of Colum- Ma, or within one mile of the Soldiers’ all this painstaking care on the part of our national lawmakers. it is not necessary to 80 outside of the four wails of the build- ing wherein these laws are enacted in order to purchase any and all kinds of intoxicat- ine Sigaors. Ie may be said by some that such s: are a violation of existing laws. But in order to remove any doubt that may: exist the American Congress should “ot hesitate to pass a law which would say to our country in no uncertain terms, intoxi- cants are not necess: 'y incentives to need- ed and wholesome iegislation. “During the Fifty-fourth Congress a bill passed the House making it unlawful to l any kind of intoxicating liquors in the pitol building, but it did not become a law, notwithstanding the fact that the vote by which it passed the House was almost unanimous. “The testimony given in the hearings be- fore the committee will allow us to reach but one conclusion, and that is that the so-called ‘canteen’ ‘system adopted by cer- tain Soldiers’ Homes and military posts 1s detrimental, not only to the discipline and general welfare of these institutions, but has a general demoralizing effect and no esponding benefit. O. O, Howard, ma- Jor general of the United States army (re- tired), who has given the question much ideration from the standpoint of a mil- man, says: Ever since the prospect of sending an army to our southern border and probably to Cuba has been made apparent to me. mind h r know t alcohol will not help the digestion, alcoholic drink will be the best possible means to produce unfitness for service, un- fitness to endure the miasma of swamps, and the dangers from yellow fever.

If the fugitive went away on a train he did nothing to arouse the suspicions of the railroad men in the depot; nor did any of the trainmen notice him particularly. in view of the lack of information, the police think it possible that he has not gone very far away. Should he stop at some country town, however, the police think he would be unable to conceal his identity, for his light hair, large Roman nose and gray eyes are such distinct marks that persons who had received Inspector Mattingly’s circular would certainly identify him. As already stated, he is a carpenter, and it is believed he may apply for work at his trade in order to ward off suspicion. Detective Weedon, who went away Mon- day night to search for Funk, has not re- turned. So far as was known at head- quarters this afternoon he had obtained no information of importance. The condition of Mrs. Brooks was re- ported at 2 p.m. today to be a little betrer. ———.—_- AN OLD CITIZEN GONE. Death This Morning of Mr. Henry Clarke.
