SENATE PREP ARES FoR WAR
The Senators Would be Ready tor Amy
Emergency.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The Sen
ate shared the general sentiment OF
belligerency prevalent to-day, and
from the outset of the session the
measures proposed breathed spirit
of patriotism and of preparation for
any emergency that might arise con-
cerning Venezuela.
The first bill introduced was that of
Mr. Chandler, of New Hampshire, pro-
yiding an appropriation of $100,000,0 600
for heavy increase in the national
armament. This was quickly follow
ed by propositions authorizing the
Secretary of War TO purchase late
device of heavy battery and for a re-
port ON the feasibility of equipping
for service the old ship Constitution.
Mr. Hill, of New York, added to the
suggestions of defense, by asking inn
mediate consideration for a bill maxi
ing ex-Confederates eligible to service
in the army and navy.
Aside from these steps inaugurating
legislation the day passed without de-
cisiye action on the Venezuelan qnes-
ton.
The first investigation of the session
was started by the passage of Mr..
tdli long Dttlullg ItSOihtioi AOi ib
inquiry into alleged corporate infiu-
ences operating III the election of Uni
ted States Senators and Representa-
tises. The resolution has been urged
at previous sessions without avail, but
Mr. Calls persistence at last secured
favorable action on it. One of the in
cidental votes was regarded as some
what significant. Mr.. Hale succeeded
in securing an amendment by which
the regular committee on Privileges
and Elections win prosecute the in
quiry instead of creating a special
committee for that purpose.
As further expression on the sub
iect of British encroachments, the
Senate agreed to a resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Davis, calling on the
President for information as TO British
or Canadian occupation, military or
civil, of any part of the United States
territory of Alaska.
Throughout the day the Senate gal
leries were crowded beyond their ca
pacity, showing the keen public inter
est in anticipated developments on the
Bi.itish-Nenezuela question

CAPT. ISAAC B4ssErr DEAD.
Sketch OF His Remarkable Career OF
SiXtY-FOur Years.

WASHINGTON, Dec 49, Capt Isaac
Bassett. the venerable assistant door
keeper of the Senate, died this after
noon.
There has been no more picturesque
personality about the United States
Capitol than Captain Bassett. Sixty
four years of service under the govern
ment has had no influence to cause
him to feel that he had any claim for
a continuation of his official place eN-
cept the claim that would arise be-
cause of duties well and conscientious
ly performed. He has proved faithful
in his humble capacity, which carried
with it duties often commensurate
with a much higher place. He has al
ways been as kind-hearted as a child,
his life as simple as child's, his every
action prompted by motives of honor
From his earliest days he has occupied
a place of trust and he has regarded a
violation of confidence as the most
grievous sin man could commit.
Captain Bassett was born in this city
in 1919, his father having come to
Washington from Connecticut TO take
a position at the Capitol, being en-
ployed about the Senate as door
keeper when young Isaac, bright and
docile boy of twelve years, was APP
pointed a page at the instance OF Dam
iel Webster. Isaac would fequently
go over to the Capitol with his father
and busy himself about any work he
could do. He would help make fires,
and an orderly instinct caused him to
improve the appearance of the Sen
ators' desks when they came to the
Capitol at noon. He was always alert
and ready to run an errand, and before
long he became pet-a Senate mas
cot. A lovable little fellow, he won the
heart of Daniel Webster among others,
and Webster took occasion to see that
the boy would not be lost to the Sem
ate by having him appointed page, he
being the second page to serve that
body.
Capt. Bassett is one of two men en-
ployed in the service of the Senate who
are appropriated for by name. Besides
his salary of $2,694 per annum, he is
given $500 by direct appropriation.

view of the magnitude of the interests
involved, not to precipitate hasty dis
cussion of them.
Mr.. Crisp reminded him that the Re
publicans had introduced the bill
which he had attempted to bring in
himself yesterday, and continued, say
ing that if the boundary could not be
ascertained by arbitration with the
participation of Great Britain, the
United States should ascertain it at
once.
And when we have ascertained
where it is" he concluded. I'VE should
have the courage and manhood to
maintain it,"
Mr.. McCreary Democrat, kentucky
and Mr.. Boutelle were shouting for
recognition. but Mr.. Hit refused to
yield the floor, and the previous ques-
tion was put and carried with shout
of "ayes" and no opposing voice.
The House decided to have its holi-
day recess extended from Friday, De
cember 90, to Friday, January B, a va
cation of two weeks. There will be but
one more session before the holidays,
that on Friday next, when Speaker
Reed will probably defy superstition
and announce the House committees.

was taken at the monthly meeting of
the board of directors to-day and his
resignation was unanimously accept

successor could be selected. 1t is un-
derstood that his resignation was due
to the fact that the newly elected di-
rectors wish TO put practical railroad

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Seven men
were killed and four injured this morn
ing by the explosion of the main
steam pipe ON the American steamship
St. Paul, while the vessel lay i'm her
dock at the foot of Fulton street, North
river.
The dead are:
JAMES FAWNS, assistant engineer,
of England.

All these were seriously scalded and
taken to the Hudson street hospital.
At the time of the accident, shortly
after Z o'clock this morning there
were thirty men of the crew in the fire.
room and ten in the engine room.
The main steampipe which is three
feet in diameter, runs from the engine
20 the fire room. 1t was this pipe
which exploded.
The main stop valve was blown out.
The accident is believed to have been
due to flaw in the pipe. The ships
engineer thinks it will require several
days to repair the damage before the
steamer can sail The St. Paul mail
will be transferred TO the Campania,
the next fastest due to sail
Preparations were being made for
the sailing of the vessel at IL o'clock,
but fortunately none Of the passen-
gers were aboard of the vessel. The
explosion was of terrific force and
shook the big vessel from stem to
stern. Following the report was the
sound of escaping steam. 1t poured
up to the deck from the engine room
in clouds and completely enveloped
the vicinity.
From above the noise of the escap-
ing steam could he heard the cries of
the men who had been at work in the
engine room injured by the explosion.
The nature of the explosion was
such that it rendered access to the To-
cality extremely difficult. As quickly
as possible the steam was turned off.
Almost simultaneously four half dead
men scrambled up the iron stairway
leading from the engine room and fell
PROSTATE upon the port side of the
vessel. They were hurried into the
cabin and restoratives administered
10 them. Two more, terribly scalded
were found in an almost unconscious
condition lying near the bottom of the
stairway and were lifted upon the deck.
Soon as the steam had cleared away
sufficiently to render seeing the sur
roundings possible, five men were
found lying in various parts of the
compartment dead. They had all been
scalded to death and their faces and
other parts of the body, which were
not covered by their clothing looked
as If they had been parboiled. The
other two victims, Folker and Wilson,
died after being taken TO the hospital.
