A Grand Memorial of the War Proposed
by an Aiabamian.

Representative Wheeler of Alabama intro
duced a bal to incorporate the Military Order
OF America and establish a national military
and naval museum, library and me mortal build
ing In the city Of Washington. The bill
proposes the incorporation OF . society which
is to bring together in fraternal association

borne the battle, and for his widow
and orphan, especially TO aid sick
and distressed companions and the widows and
orphans OF deceased companions: to cherish
the memories of camp, field and bivouac, and
strengthen the ties of reunion, sympathy,
valor and patriotism between those who we're
enemies in war and friends in peace"
The order Is 10 be non-sectarian
and non-polltical, and is TO have O
building in Washington used as a memorial
building, military and naval museum and Ii
brary, wherein is to be deposited
copies OF all government publications.
Provision is to be made for the

ment to his memory and to al other soldiers
sailors and marines who served during the
war.

THE SILCOTT INQUIRY.
Three Propositions Have Now De-
veloped In the Committee.

The House special committee investigating
the Silcott defalcation are about as far from an
agreement on report as they have been at
any time. Instead Of two propositions for the
disposition Of the question, three have devel-
oped in the committee, and it is now very
doubtful that they will be able to report before
the holiday recess. When the committee went
into session this morning they thought
they were going to agree and make
report to the House today When
they began the discussion Of the details
of the report, however, they found that there
was the widest divergence of opinion. Some
of the members were in favor of referring the
matter to the Court OF Claims; others thought
that they should simply report in favor of an
appropriation to pay the members their
salaries for the period covered by the
firmly to the opinion that the loss must
be borne by the individual members, and pro-
posed to report accordingly, with the recon-
incubation that the money left in the sergeant
alarms safe be divided among the members
losing. The matter was argued strongly from
each of the three points OF view, and when an
adjournment was taken there seemed no pros
pect of an agreement in the near future.
A committee consisting OF Messrs. Payne and
Hemphill was appointed to examine the private
account Of individual members i'll the sergeant
alarms Office with instructions to report to
the committee at the afternoon session.
The session of the committee was fruitless OF
results, except that Representatives Payne and
Hemphill were appointed a subcommittee to
ascertain the amounts Of the individual losses

INFLUENZA IN WASHINGTON:
1t Is Not Here Yet, But 1t Was Forty Odd
Years Ago.

Is the new and much talked of Russian infu-
enza coming to Washington
This is question which has been troubling
a great many people here the last few days.
A STAR reporter called at the health Office this
morning to inquire if any cases had yet been
reported there. The register of vital statis-
tics said that as yet nothing had been heard Of
its arrival here, but there was no reason to be-
lieve it would not make its appearance now
that it has been heard from in New York.
He said: ''There is really nothing new in the
disease. remember very we'll the epidemic
that swept over this country in the spring Of
1S41. 1t was then known as the "Tyler grip"
term applied rather as joke in honor Of
victim and 1t was peculiar sight
to see the people walking on the avenue with
their necks as stiff as can well be imagined ard
a generally used up expression about them 1t
was a very general epidemic and swept thror gh
the country from end to end. Its effects ere
not serious although it was an exceedingly
troublesome disease.
SIS the cause known? Will not thoroughly
now, and in 1841 not at all. 1t is probably
caused by disease germs, microbes or baccill@,
oughly studied as yet. Its effects are more
clear. II causes o stiffness of the neck
o swelling and soreness OF the salivary glands
and the other glands Of the neck, and is in
its other effects much like an aggravated case OF
hay fever. Undoubtedly the rapid spread of the
disease is largely caused by the great moisture
in the atmosphere that has been 80 evident
during the last few months. do not mean 80
much by the amount that has been pre-
cipitated in the form of rain as by the
amount held in the air. Moisture
10 the most active element necessary for the
growth Of microbes and think that nothing
would do 10 much good in checking the spread
Of the disease - . season Of really dry
weather."

CONTESTS FOR HOUSE SEATS.
Maneuvering Before the Battle-Demo-
crats on the Alert

Both parties are an the alert for the fight
over the contested election cascs In the House.
There is some sharp preliminary msneuver-
ing on both sidea This morning MT. RoveiL
the chairman OF the elections committee. had .
resolution prepared authorizing the committee
and lie subeommittecs 10 sit during the holi-
day recess. The democrats understood this 70
mean that the West Virginia cases. the Possy
Parrett, Indiana case, and the case Of Mudd
against Compton were 20 be 'railrosdsd"
through the House immediately after the
holiday recess is over. They were therefore
prepared 20 fight the resolution until the re-
cess Adjournment. unless the republicans could
get quorum. These cases are regarded ~
the easiest on the docket to dispose Of, and IL
the democrats now occupying the seats can
be thrown out before the new rules are adop-
ted the republicans will gain
DOUBLE ADVANTAGE.
In the first place, with quorum present and
no complications by reason OF rules, they could
put an end 10 delay on the part o. she demo
Gratis. In the second place, n four democratic
contestees can be unseated soon after the re-
cess. the republicans vail have their ma
j%T'y increased re Sa,,s by eight and and they
the rules question. The democrats are
braciug themselves 10 resist this supposed plan
of the majority. Expecting the fret move 20
be made by the introduction OF Mr.. Roweil's
resolution this morning most Of the democrats
were IN their seats prepared 20 follow the lead
OF Mr.. Carlisle. They knew there WA not q
quorum of republicans in the House and we're
ready to iilibuster until the resolution was de-
feated.
FALSE ALARM.
But Mr.. Rowell decided at the last moment
that nothing was 10 be gained by bringing on
the fight at this stage without the strength 10
push it to a successful ISSUE Moreover, some
OF the republican members OF the committee
were anxious 90 get home for the holidays so
he did not offer the resolution. He worried
the democrats little, however, by introducing
another resolution that sounded like the one
they we're watching for, but which had
nothing more serious IN contemplation than
the privilege for his committee 70 sit during
the sessions Of the House. The reading Of this
resolution brought MIR. Carlisle TO his feet but
when he discovered that the permission asked
tor was not to SIT during holidays" but merely
during the sessions OF the House" he with
drew from the attitude Of opposition.

man was Mr.. Gowen. Capt Linden aud Detect
i've Horne were both fully satisfied that Mr..
Gowen purchased the pistol and took his own
life.
When STAR reporter called At Mr.. waisord's
this morning the latter nj 6rst hesitated, say
ing that Capt Linden had requested him 20
keep the matter quiet and not give the re-
porters any information. Mr.. walford, how
ever, could see no good reason for 20 doing
and gave the information recited above.
DR.. PATTERSON THINKS THE MURDER THEORY Ar
eCRD.
Coroner Patterson was Just leaving his home
in his buggy when STAR reporter encountered
him this morning and asked him bis idea as to
the murder theory in the Gowen case. The coro-
ner had some difficulty in inducing his horse TO
stand still enough to enable him-the doctor
to talk. 'Ireally have no time TO discuss the
matter" he said, shut will say this, that

The Opposition to Him is Scattered and
Personal.

There was a good deal OF gossip around the
Senate end of the capitol this morning over
the struggle which is being made against the
confirmation of Judge David J. Brewer, but no
one regarded the fight as being serious or cal
culated to damage Judge Brewers chances.
What opposition exists is unorganized and at
the most will not be able to show ten votes on
the negative side. At the executive SEES
sion of yesterday the greater portion
of the time used up in the star chamber dis
Call, who is opposed to Judge Brewer on the
ground that the judge is a man whose nature
seemed to be on the side of corporations.
Senators Jones and Berry of Arkansas
can also be counted as with the op-
position; Judge Brewer, it is alleged,
dealt severely with a couple of their constitu-
ents at one time. Four other Senators, Col
quit, Blair, Reagan and Wilson Of Iowa, want
to see the judge defeated because Of his anti
prohibition decisions. As things are now,
however, it is certain that the judge will be
confirmed, and this is conceded by the oppo-
sition.
INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS
Senator Ingalls, was most active in defending
Judge Brewer. Talking of the nominee to a
STAR reporter this morning the Senator said:
"The only opposition to Judge Brewer is SEN
timental. There have been absolutely no
charges or imputations that in any way affect
the ability, learning, honesty, integrity, cour-
age, or qualifications of Judge Brewer. The
opposition to him is wholly sentimental"
Senator Henderson knows Judge Brewer
well and he spoke Of him a. follows:
"Judge Brewer was for over five years cir
cult judge In the circuit in which I practiced
law previous to my coming to the Senate.
When Brewer went on the bench he did so I'M
der circumstances which peculiarly tested his
ability as jurist, for he succeeded Dillon and
McCrary, both of whom we're eminent In their
profession and were regarded as the
ablest judges in the country. Judge Brewer
suffered nothing by the contrast, and by the
bar Of my section Of the country is regarded as
the equal Of either of his predecessors. be-
and / know of no reason why he should not
speedily be confirmed"
