LEGISLATIVE MATTERS,
What is Likely to be Done in Congress
This Week.

WASHINGTON, January 22d.-The Senate
has no programme of work for the coming
week, beyond the consideration and, if pos
sible, the passage of the deficiency bill and
educational bill Should there be any
time to spare, it is likely to be consumed in
the consideration of miscellaneous matters
on the calendar. The regular order will
probably give way tomorrow for speech
from Senator Frye, and later in the week
for speeches from Senators Palmer and In
gals. Senator Frye's subject is not GER
tainly known, but it is assumed he will
speak upon the question of fisheries. SEN
ator Palmer will address the Senate upon
the bill to regulate immigration, and SEN
ator Ingalls, will speak upon general poll
tics. Aside from extradition treaties, the
Senate has little to do in secret session.
The Jhoebe Carlisle contest is expected
to take precedence of all other business in
the House, since it is the present determi-
nation OF Crisp, who has charge of the re-
port OF the Elections Committee, to insist
that 1t shall be disposed of before anything
else is done. Should the Republican
minority persist in refusing to vote. II is
doubtful whether a quorum can be Sc
cured, and the indications are that several
days will elapse before the matter is finally
settled. Wilkins is earnestly desirous of
securing further consideration for his Ma
honal Bank bill. The yeas and nays have
been ordered upon its engrossment and
third reading, and its fate depends upon
the success of Mr.. Wilkins effort to reach
an agreement with its opponents.
The pension appropriation bill has al
ready been reported, and the Appropria-
tons Committee will endeavor to have it
considered before the end of the week.

WHAT TIE THAw DISCLOSED.
The Body of a Young Lady Found In th,

SALEM orr, January 21st.-This after
noon several workmen IN the employ of
the Capital FIGURING Mills Company, who
had begun to repair dam on Mill creek,
in North Salem, discovered the body of a
woman partially imbedded in the ice of the
creek, with her head and shoulders under
water and her feet floating on the surface.
The officers were imm mediately notified, and
they, with great difficulty, succeeded in re-
moving the body. 1t was taken to an un-
dertaking establishment, where it h since
been identified as that of Aurella Straight
who suddenly disappeared from the Sisters
Academy on the morning of Wednesday
January 18th. The authorities were noti-
fed of her disappearance on the same day.
but diligent search and inquiry failed to
discover her whereabouts. Her guardian
Hugh Fields, now at Brownsville, Lynn
county, was informed of her absence, but
he was able 10 throw no light on the mys-
terry. She was aged Is, and has brother
and two sisters in Heppner, Morrow
county, whence she came. She is an or
phan and had been about six weeks in the
school. 1t is supposed that a sudden in
sane freak caused her to wander off from
the breakfast table OF bitter cold morning
without hat or shawl and hunt place on
Mill creek, which she had visited the day
before, and throw herself into the swollen
stream. The body and features present
natural appearance, the ice having doubt
less preserved them. An inquest will be
held Tomorrow

The National League" he continued,
" instead of being effaced as the coercion
lists prophecy, was more firmly rooted
than ever. The action of the Land Com
mission has been equivalent to censuring
the moderation of the plan of campaign
Balfour found that the league could only
be suppressed by suppressing the society
The action of the Government in prose-
cutting the priests showed that the hoDes of
muZzling them by means of the intrigues
at Rome had been frustrated. 1t was an
attempt to outrage the people into an exhi-
bitlon OF violence, as a set off against Bal
four's wanton brutality. If Blunt had
never revealed Balfours intentions towards
the Parnellites the course pursued by the
Chief Secretary was evidence enough. He
believed Balfour would push matter to ex-
tremlties until public opinion daunted
him."

Four Young Men Go to Sea ON an Ice
Floe.
CHICAGO, January 22d-The agonized
cries OF tour young men, who after dark
found themselves gradually floating out in
Lake Michigan on a huge cake of ice
brought scores of people to the piers at
Thirty-third street tonight. The four
young fellows-Peter Paulson, Thomas
Ash, James Johnson and J. NJ. Whiteside
had been out for holiday frolic on the
ice Not till o'clock, on their return, did
they suspect that the thaw had parted the
ice from the shore and that the mass was
breaking up and drifting away. A sheet of
water htty feet wide lay between them
and the land. The gap was gradu-
ally widening under the influence
OF the sharp wind that began to
cover them with spray, while rising
waves dashed off great sections of the ice
Hoe, upon which the lives Of the quartet
depended. For over au hour men, women
and children on shore watched the helpless
four running frantically about on the ice
and family heard their hoarse shouts for
assistance. Whiteside, who was unable to
swim, restrained his companions with diff
ficulty from jumping into the freezing
flood and attempting to swim ashore
When finally boat had been brought
from the nearest point, long distance up
town, it was found to be leaking badly and
the police who manned it had to put back
by this time Whiteside was nearly crazed
from cold and fright and the others were
IN little better condition. The police, not
without peril to themselves, managed,
however, to take them off safely at last
They were at once carried to their homes
and put to bed, exhausted, but supremelv
happy.

ALMOST A RIOT.
An officer Strikes Citizen With a
Tennis Bat.

ST. AUGUSTINE (Fla.), January 22d.-A
collision between the civil and military
authorities was imminent for a while near
the barracks to-day. J. W. Grady, citi-
zen, met Lieutenant Wilcox, of the Second
Artillery, and asked him about some mat
ters over which they had misunderstand-
ing, Grady claiming it to be an insult to
one of his lady friends. The Lieutenant
declined to apologize, and war of words
began. The Lieutenant struck Grady with
q tennis bat in the face. They then closed.
A struggle followed, during which police
man attempted TO arrest them. Grady
made no resistance, but Lieutenant Wilcox
refusedi to be arrested, and called the
guard, who came out with fixed bavonet
and ordered the policeman TO stop. Ac-
cording to the policeman's story the officer
ordered the guard to shoot him if he at
tempted the arrest, and at that the guard
loaded his rife.
The policeman went to his house near
by and procured revolver. Meanwhile
a large crowd of citizens and soldiers had
gathered, and things looked very stormy,
as all were angry. Pistols and guns were
fourished, and finally, after great dis
turbance, the matter was settled and the
officer entered his quarters. The Mayor
will settle the matter in the morning. 1t
required but spark at one time to create
a riot, as many citizens bear no love for the
blue-coats. Grady is a prominent society
leader.

Reception rendered General and Mrs.
Fremont at Los Angeles.
Los ANGELES, January 22d-The Fre-
mont reception at ,Armorv Hall last even
ing was grand success. Aside from the
speeches, it was of an informal character,
and thousand or more people must have
paid their respects to the veteran path
finder and his wife. Mayor W. H. Work
man was the President of the evening, and
ex-senator r. +. Del Vale was the orator.
General Fremont made a speech of ac-
knowledgment of the honor accorded him.
and alluded TO his early experiences of
California saying that he had at various
times attempted to make California his
permanent home, but there had ALWAYS
been some circumstance to prevent it. This
time, he said, he had come here TO settle
down, and would do so, God willing.
At the close of the speech h-making an op-
portunity was given TO all to shake hands
with the guest of the evening and his hon
ored wife. Several members of Steven
sons regiment and General Fremont's old
regiment were the first to press forward
and grasp the veteran by the hand.

FREEZING TO DEATH.
Over One Thousand Persons Perish by
the Cold.

CHICAGO, January 22d.-A Nebraska CITY
special says Judge Kinney, Agent at the
Yankton Sioux Indian Reservation, arrived
here yesterday. 1t took him five days to
go thirty miles, The thermometer being 400
below zero most of the time. The coal on
the train ran low, when the passengers all
crowded into one car The men discarded
their outer garments and wrapped the
women and children up in them. Two
babies perished. The Judge says the loss
of life in Dakota is underestimated, as the
newspapers have tried to cover it up
While at station in Bonhomme county
nine frozen bodies were brought into the
depot in one day. The loss in the whole
country will reach 160, and estimates made
IN Yankton yesterday of the loss of life
through the Territory figure up over !, 1,O0O
lives. The roads from the agency to
Yankton were lined with dead cattle, many
farmers losing all they had. Although a
large number of Indians were out hunting
during the storm, none are missing.
The thermometer at Chicago registered
150 below zero last night. The Signal
Service man, however, says all indications
are for warmer weather, and that there are
no more cold waves in sight at present.
