WORK OF CONGRESS Washington, Feb. 21. — After four days of consideration the house passed the bankruptcy bill reported by the house committee on judiciary as a sub- stitute for the Nelson bill passed by the senate at the extra session last summer. ‘The bill is known as the Henderson bill and contains both vol- untary and involuntary features. It is considered less drastic than the measure passed by the last house by a vote of 157 to 87. The involuntary feature, however, had but sixteen ma- jority. A motion to strike out the in- voluntary feature was defeated by a majority of 19 and the bill was passed by a majority of 23. TRepub- licans voted against ‘i twelve Democrats for it. The Populists, with one exception votec mst it. Washington, Feb. 22. — For three hours the senate had under considera- tion the bill providing for the taking of the twelfth and subsequent cen- suses. It was so amended as to place the census bureau under the secretary of the interior, but the extended dis- ion which followed disclosed so a divergence of views cn the part of senato: to the various features of the measure that no further action was taken. <A resolution offered by Mr. Allen of Nebr a direeting the committee of naval affaies to make an investigation of the disaster to the battleship Maine was adopted without debate. It was private bill day in the house, but little was accomplished owing to the fact that most of the time was corsumed in the passage of private ion bills coming over from the Iriday night session three weeks ago. The feature of the day was the spir- ited contest over the bill to pay New- berry college, a Lutheran institution in South Carolina, $15,000 for damages by federal troops. It was finally passed. On motion of Mr. Bailey, the Demo- cratic leader, the house voted—5S to 35—to observe Washington's birthday, but Mr. Dingley raised the point of no quorum and_ before further action could be taken the house recessed un- der the rule until 8 o’clock. The Re- publicans desire to go ahead with the sundry civil appropriation bill. Washington, Feb. 23. — As soon as the reading of the historic farewell ad- dress of Washington was concluded by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts in the senate Mr. Hawley of Connecticut, ¢chairman of the military affairs com- mittee, called up the bill providing for the enlistment of two additional regi- ments of artillery for service in man- ning the heavy coast defense batteries which congress has provided during the past two years. After some little discussion the bill was passed. Mr. Morgan of Alabama secured the adop- tion of the following resolution: “Yhat the committee on naval af- fairs is instructed to inquire and re- port whether a man-of-war, equal at Jeast to any warship in the world, to be named the George Washington, can be built, armed and commissioned within a period of twelve months by the use of the facilities of the ship- yards, machine shops, mines and for- ests of the United States, wherever the same may be found; and that the committee have leave to report at any time by bill or otherw The reso- lution was adopted 0 the senate went into execut session and at 4 o’clock adjourned. ——9-— Washington’s birthday was celebrat- ed in the house, after a motion by Mr. Bailey to adjourn had been voted down, with a vast deal of political speechmaking, and it was also signal- ized by the firing of the first gun in opposition to Hawaiian annexation, Mr. Johnson, an Indiana Republican, delivered a speech that electrified the house and the galleries in denunciation of w he termed an attempt to cut loose from the traditional policy of the United States and enter upon a scheme of color tion that had proved the ruin of empires and of nations. He used some very strong language, but his remarks were enthu stically ap- plauded and the minority and many Republicans joined in the demonstra- tion. He declared that while he had denounced at the time the statement tiat the Hawaiian monarchy had been overthrown with the aid of American citizens, that he now firmly believed that it was true. The speech, coming entilely unheralded, produced a deep impression. The general debate on the sundry civil bill was concluded and the bill will now’ be taken up for amendment. ngton, Feb. 24. — While the had under consideration tke natic and consular appropriation bill yesterday a sharp debate on the Cuban question w precipitated by Mr. Allen of Nebraska, who offered as an amendment the resolution passed by the senate a year ago recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cuban in- surgents. The debate became general and occupied nearly four hours. In the cow of a reply to the prelim- inary statement by Mr. Allen, Mr. Morgan of Alabama said that this country’s relations with Spain at the present time were seriously strained and that intervention by the United States which a year ago would have been inoffensive, would now be almost a cause of war. He expressed the epinion that the Cuban affair would eventually be submitted to the arbi- trament of the sword between the United States and Spain, but he did not want war precipitated by rash acts of legislation. Mr. Foraker of Ohio thought the day was not far distant when the time for action by this coun- try would arrive, and that the chief magistrate of the nation ought to re- joice that the legislative branch of | the government was prepared to sup- port him in asserting American rights. Mr. ‘Thurston of Nebraska counselled calmiess and prudence, for he bel‘eved that the country was rapidly drifting into a war with Spain. “We ought to have patience,” said he, “and wait as a great and powerful people, not in fear, but in hope, that some satisfac- tory conclusion of the present difficul- ty may be reached. Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts main- tained that the floor of the senate was no proper place for angry discussions of international affairs and that no senrtor ought to utter anything that might not well be uttered by the pres- ident of the United States. He ex- pressed his willingness, however, to give his support to the executive should the time for action arrive, pro- vided the proposed action was basee pon clear and unmistakable facts. Mr. Allen’s amendment was ruled out of order, and the appeal taken from the ruling was laid on the table by a yote of 51 to 5. Early in the day Mr. Allen offered a resolution providing for a committee of five senators who should go to Cuba and ascertain the precise situation on the island. Un- der the rules it went over until to- morrow. Both the military academy and the diplomatic and consular appro- priation bills were passed. Mr, Hans- brough attempted to secure action on the bill to regulate the laws of Alaska, but on objection from Mr. ‘Turner of Washington it went over. CR ABER A variety of subjects occupied the attention of the house during the con- sideration of the sundry civil appropri- ation bill. Mr. Mahany of New York made an attack on the patriotism of some of the social leaders of New York, whom he said held high revel while the nation was bowed down with grief over the loss of life result- ing from the Maine explosion. The Southern members who have for years been fighting the appropriation for “in- formers” on illicit distilleries succeed- ed in killing the appropriation in com- mittee of the whole, but Chairman Cannon gaye notice that he would de- mand an aye and nay vote in the house. Early in the session a resolu- tion was adopted inquiring of the treasury department what has been done by the United States to prevent the conveyance to the Cubans of arti- cles produced in the United States, also as to the prevention of filibuster- ing. General debate having closed Tuesday, yesterday the reading of the sundry civil bill for amendment un- der the five-minute rule was begun. Washington, Feb. 25.—The house de- voted itself strictly to business to-day and disposed of thirty additional pages of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The fact that the government is pre- paring for contingencies was recog- nized in the house when chairman Cannon, who has been laboring to keep down appropriations accepted without a word of protest, an amend- ment to increase the appropriation to care for the unused machinery at the Springfield Arsenal. Mr, Gillette explained that necessity for using this machinery might occur at avy time. Resolutions which were objected to a few weeks ago for the appointment of two extra naval cadets to positions in the engineer corps of the navy were also adopted. One of them will fill a vacancy caused by the death of Lieut. Merritt of the Maine. Mr. Sayers (Dem., Tex.) criticised the item in the bill placing only the un- expended epidemic funds of past years ut the disposal of the quarantine ser- vice. He thought $200,000 additional should be appropriated. After considerable discussion the amendment was lost. After completing 30 pages of the bill. the committee rose. At 5:15, the house adjourned. A feature of the senate’s session was the speech of Mr. Spooner (Wis.), on the right of Henry W. Corbett to a seat in the senate from Oregon un- der appointment of the governor. Mr. Spooner made a constitutional argu- ment in favor of seating Mr. Corbett and had not concluded when the senate adjourned. An effort was made to obtain con- sideration of the Alaskan homestead and railway right of way Dill, but on a parliamentary technicality it went over. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Allen (Neb.) to appoint a com- mittee of five senators to investigate the Cuban situation was withdrawn by its author when it was laid before the senate. Washington, Feb. 26. — A long and somewhat exciting debate over the question of river and harbor appro- tions was precipitated in the during the consideration of the civil appropriation bill. It as practice agreed by all those who participated that there would be no river and harbor bill at this ses- sion of congress, and this led Mr. Moody to attack the contract items carried in the sundry civil bill. He selected an appropriation of $350,000 for Rockland, Me., which is in Mr. Dingley’s district, and his remarks in denunciation of what he termed favor- itism approached the sensational. Mr. Dingley denied that he had ever sug- gested the appropriation to the com- tee on appropriations or to any in- ‘lividual members of the committee. It was intimated that there was a plan to defeat all the items in the bill so as to force the consideration of a general river and harbor bill, but the intima- tion was not borne out by the vote on the amendment upon which the de- bate rested. Mr. Berry of Kentucky succeeded in securing the adoption of an amendment increasing the appro- priation for the Kentucky river from $105,000 to $350,000. The senate amendments to the army appropria- tion bill were agreed to without de- bate. When the item appropriating $400,000 for San Pedro, Cal., was reached there was some debate, after which the item was passed without amendment. An bash san effort was made to secure consideration of the bill passed by the senate for two additional regiments of artillery, but on objection from Mr. Cox of Tennes- see it went over. An amendment ap- fropriating $150,000 for Yaquina bay, Oregon, was pending when the house, at 5 o'clock, recessed until 8. The evening session was devoted to pen- sion bills. In the. Senate. Hon. Henry W. Corbett’s right to a seat in the senate from Oregon was under consideration by the senate for five hours. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin, nm a few words, concluded the speech which he began Thursday in favor of Mr. Corbett, and was followed by Mr. Teller of Colorado. Senators Allen, Turner and Turley participated in the general debate which followed. A bill permitting the building of a dam be- tween Coon Rapids and the north lim- its of Minneapolis across the Missis- sippi river was passed. Early in the session an attempt was made to get up the Alaskan bill but it failed. At 5:15 the senate went into executive session and at 5:25 adjourned. WOOPFORD CRITICISED.

Des Moines, Iowa, Special.—Becom- ing alarmed over the talk questioning the legality of the adjournment last Saturday till Wednesday, ten house members met yesterday and ad- journed till to-day. This same practice will be followed to-day and Gov. Shaw will/not be called upon to call an extra session to get around the con- stitutional question which has been raised.

The law. now $20 a day and an amend- ment is pending to make it $10 a day. SETTLED AT LAST. Corpus Christi Parish Division Case Comes to An End. Fort Dodge, Iowa, Special.—The famous Corpus.Christi parish division case is officially at an end. The case attracted attention all over the coun- try, and the highest authorities of the Catholic church were involved in it. Arch! nop Hennessy of Dubuque or- dered the division of the perish, as is his usual custom, without consulting the congregation here. They rebelled vigorously and much bad feeling arose. ‘The press dispatches about the case recently have not been verv accurate. though it is in Fort Dodge, is that the ease is at an end and the archbishop has his way.

Mr. Rosenfeld says he is absolutely ignorant of the cause of his arrest.

Chicago, Special— The States of Wisconsin, Iowa and Lllinois are prac- tically snow-bound. Reports from Ce- dar Rapids and Webster City, Iowa, Freeport, Bloomington, Rockford and Galesburg, Ill, indicate an average snowfall of two feet. Throughout Wisconsin and Northern Michigan the fall was much _ heavier, in fact the greatest of the seascn. A forty-mile gale has piled the snow into enormous drifts, completely paralyzing street railway trattic and seriously interfer- ing with the operation of trains on the steam roads. eS Milwaukee, Special— The blizzard which started in Saturday morning and of which Milwaukee is the cen- ter, still continues. Twenty-two inches of snow is reported by the weather bureau to have fallen in this city. The storm is said to be confined to the eastern part of the state. In the battle between the storm and the street railway the latter managed with constant service to keep most of the lines open. In the evening the trattic became congested again as the wind increased in velecity and blew the snow back onto the tracks about as fast as it is being cleared off. The temperature has falled about twenty degrees and the snow, which is still coming down is a0t as heavy and wet and easier to handle. Snow to the depth of several feet is piled up all along the different lines of street rail- way and it will be many days before it can be carted away. Railway traius on all roads entering Milwaukee are all the way from one to fifteen hours late. The wind is blowing strong fiom the northeast but the indications are that it will switch around to the northwest, growing colder and clear up. All the boats plying between here and across the lake and northern and southern points are accounted for, Dispatches from different parts of the state report the worst storm of the season. In many cities street car traflie was suspended. Railroad trains are all delayed and in some places entirely abandoned. —o— Marinette, Wis., Special.— Nothing has been heard from the twelve fish- ermen who satrated from Green Is- land for this city Saturday. The storm is so severe that no one has ventured on the ice. Friends hope they \bave found shelter in some of the shanties or the bay. —o— Detroit, Mich., Special.— Railroad traflic is badly tied up in Northern the result of the unusual snow: storm which has prevailed. St. Paul, Special.—The Twin Cities got a slight taste of the blizzard. About si inches of snow fell, accom- panied by a strong wind. Very little inconvenience we experienced in street car traffic.

The Famous Author and Statesman Leads Miss Hanson to the Altar. Minneapoiis, Special—The marriage of Miss Marian Olive Hanson to Ig- D eliy occurred yesterday in ‘gian M. E. church, Minneap- affair passed off with all the pomp and splendor the principals had planned ‘he venerable and famous 1, Ignatius Donnelly, never locleti better and more of a statesman than when, with bowed head and _ reverential manner, he passed slowly down the main aisle to the altar. His fair Norwegian bride, with the health and color of her race glowing upop her young and handsome face, formed a striking picture as, sur- rounded by many airily-clad young women, all in white, she advanced to meet her future lord and master. It was a very impressive moment when the services commenced. From be- ginning to end there stole through the church the subdued music of Men- delssohn’s “Wedding March,” now faintly, now strongly, but ever present. When the moment arrived for all to bow their heads in prayer, the music sank still lower, and the solemnity of the occasion appealed to every one. A reception at the West hotel fol- lowed the ceremony. In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly departed for their wedding trip which will include a tour of the East. WILL HELP VESSELMEN. Independent Company Will Cui a Canal Intv Duluth Harbor. Duluth, Minn., Special—A private company is being organized to cut a ship canal through Minnesota point, giving an entrance to Duluth and Su- perior harbor independent of those maintaired by the government. The men interested are are the owners of the property and some prominent Min- nesota contractors. They will meet in Washington in about two weeks, and will probably organize under the laws of New Jersey. The object of the canal is to afford an easier entrance to certain portions of the harbor, espe- cially to the Duluth, Mesaba & North- ern iron ore docks, where a great num- ber of vessels go daily. A toll would be charged for going through the canal, but it would be very much less than the tug bills occasioned by the present entrance amount to, Grocers Trying to Find a Way to Compete Witk Them. Duluth, Minr., Special—At the state convention of the grocers J. H. Ten- voorde of St. Paul, read a paper on “The Department Store How to Com- pete With It.” He admitted that he could hardly say how it is to be done. Advertising he considered the best way in which to compete. A long dis- cussion followed, and it was resolved to stand by the wholesalers who will stand by the retailers. P. J. Me- Gaughey of Minneapolis talked on “Buy Cheap and Sell Cheap.” It was an argument in favor of co-operation and was one of the best addresses that has been delivered. A letter was re- ceived from the Minnesota Pharma- ceutical association pledging its co- operation in the efforts being made to do away with the department store. SLASHED WITIE A KNIFE, Family Quarrel Results in a Stab- bing Affray. Buffalo.
