This is the second Sunday in Lent
and 1t finds society duller than at any
time during the winter All the clubs
have adjourned until after Lent, and
all the social entertainments to be
given before Easter Sunday will be in
modified form, as the conventionalties
of the period demand Nevertheless.
the devotee has found much to occu-
py her time, for more than the usual
number Of religious and charitable
entertainments were given during the
past week. Considerable original
thought is also evidenced by the nat
ure of these affairs, which is proof that
society is entering into the penitential
! season in the proper spirit Very few
there are who have not determined
upon what they will give up as the
proper observance of Lent demands
some sort Of a sacrifice With some it
is the theatre, with others cards, while
dancing is not to be thought of for a
moment. One or two whist clubs
have already been formed, to meet
quietly once a week, and with each
member pledged to use every endeavor
to prevent mention of the meetings in
the columns of the newspapers. The
prospect for the next few weeks. gen
orally speaking, is not a pleasant
fheme for contamination bv those who
are devoted to fashionable frivolities

is in favor Of the Nicaragua canal, and
said today: while I am in favor of
the canal project, am hostile to the
Morgan bill. If the government of
the United States thinks enough of its
Pacific possessions to unite them with
the Atlantic coast by a waterway unit
ing the two oceans, let the United
States construct the canal without the
Intervention Of bankrupt company
and under concessions which are Of
doubtful validity.
THE United States ought to enter
into compact with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica for the right of way for
the canal, and negotiate with England
for such abrogation or modification of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as will
make it free from interference with
the construction of the canal by the
United States, and then the govern
ment should build it, if necessary, and

structed for the amount of money that

SENATE WILL BE BUSY.
Time Is to Be Given Largely to
Routine Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - Senators
express determination to take I'D
the work of the session vigorously in
the beginning. 1t is expected that the
army deficiency bill will reach the
senate during the present week, the
understanding at the north end of the
capitol being that the house will dis
pose Of it within a very few days after
assembling. The committee on appro-
priations will bring it in early for the
double purpose of having it passed
quickly and of testing the feeling of
senators on questions connected with
the war.
The first days session will be given
up almost entirely to the presidents
message, and there is great interest
manifested in hearing the minutest
details Of the presidents recommended
tions.
After the reading Of the message.
the senate will adjourn until the next
day. All plans for legislation of gen.
eral scope await the PRONUNCIATION of
this document, and as a consequence
one hears far less than usual of meas
ures to be introduced.
1t is impossible to say what matters
will occupy the week after the dis
posal of the message, but it is probable
that some speeches will be delivered
upon the policy indicated by the mes
sage, and also that the calendar may be
taken up. There are many measures
which have been reported, and there
will be no difficulty in finding employ
ment If the senate is disposed to settle
to routine so early in the session.
During the closing days of the last
session, Senator Morgan gave notice
Of his intention to call up the Nicara-
qua canal bill at the beginning of the
present session. He unquestionably
will redeem this promise and would
doubtless seek the first opportunity
but for the possibility of change of
sentiment in favor Of having the gov
eminent undertake the entire respon-
sibility of building the canal. All the
indications are that this question will
be one of the most important subjects
under consideration during the ses-
sion.
Opposition is developing to the bill
which the Hawaiian commission will
bring in and for which early consid-
Grafton will be asked. There is a con-
siderable contingent in the senate op-
/ posed to constituting the islands into
a territory because of the apprehen-
sion that they may be converted into
a state, and deliberate consideration of
! the senate will be asked.
/ While it is quite too early to reach
a definite conclusion, there are decided
! indications Of q disposition on the part
! Of the senate to con1lne the session
work to routine measures and the ap-
/ preparations bills, and it need sur
prise no one if the close Of the session
would demonstrate that this general
! policy had been pursued.

CENSORSHIP SEVERE.

Madrid Papers Are Not Permitted
Even to Deny CarIfst Runors.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following dispatch from
Biarritz:
The censorship is so severe that the
Spanish newspapers are prohibited
even from contradicting Carlist. news
published abroad. There have been
numerous arrests of Carlists at BARGE
Iona and elsewhere in Catalonia. The
Carlist general Isasi and several COL
leagues have disappeared"
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Standard says:
''The Conservative party and Senior
Silveia, through their organs, have
made peremptory bids for power. Senior
Sagasta treats the matter calmly, ridi-
culing the smallness Of Senior Silvela's s
following and declining to hasten the

vened in January, or the conclusion Of

ATTACK ON IL0ILO.
Rebel Guns Trained on the City
Philippine Debt Problem.


MADRID, Dec. A-The government
has not reached full decision regard
ing the Philippine debt, but the off,
cial gazette today publishes an an
nouncement that the drawing for the
redemption of the Cuban bonds will
occur on Dec. 10.
The speculation in the Cuban and
Philippine debts on the bourse has
seriously displeased the cabinet. The
rise in those securities is attributed to
the report that the government will
devote the indemnity received from the
United States to the colonial indebted
ness, regarding which no decisive steps
have been taken by the ministers.
An official dispatch from the COVER
nor Of the Vtsayas, Philippine islands,
says that the insurgents have doubled
their attacks upon Iloilo The gov
ernment's advices say: 1.-The rebels
have their guns trained on the city
and fire on our troops nightly. Our
troops maintain a spirited fire and
have killed a number of the. enemy"

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Nova
Scotian schooner Walleda arrived to-
day from Gonaives and reports that
during the height of the hurricane on
Nov. %, in latitude 1922, longitude 723o,
she sighted a dismantled schooner Of
about 700 tons, flying sigma Of distress.
1t was nearly dark at the time and
her crew could be seen on the decks
gesuculating frantically for assistance
The Walleda bore down on the
schooner and got close under her lee.
They shouted that the vessel was sink
ing and asked to be taken off. Capt
Kemp told him his boats were sinking
and useless. They replied they would
come to the Walleda in their own
boats. During this time the Walleda
lay to, but she was drifting to leeward,
then went back on the opposite tack
and after several tacks managed TO
cross the bow Of the schooner again,
and drifted to leeward position. The
Walleda nailed again but got no an
swer. In the meantime another three
nasted schooner came to her assistance
and assumed a POSITION to the wind
ward Of the wreck. Both of them stood
by until daylight. When morning
broke the wreck was seen to be desert
ed and the boats gone. 1t is supposed
the unfortunate men had attempted to
launch their boat during the night,
which capsized and all hands were lost

BLIZZARD IN BUCKEYE STATE

tE<a1 SectAOh Oh the country and
Much Damage Dome to Wires
Several Cities Are Shut OR-Nc
Serious Disasters Have as Yet
Been Reported.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A heavy
rain storm, which began here yester-
day, continued all of today with in
creasing violence, accompanied by
winds of almost gale velocity. Shortly
before midnight there was a clear sky.
At its maximum the wind blew forty
two miles an hour. Telegraph wires
from this city south were rendered al
most useless on account Of the heavy
winds. Trees, swinging signs and
chimneys We're blown down, but no
great damage is known to have re-
suited.
A few dispatches received at the mar
1time exchange told of a very heavy
northeaster prevailing at the Delaware
breakwater and other points along the
New Jersey coast. AT many points the
tide rose to the highest point it has
reached in years. No disasters to YES
sells have yet been reported.
At Atlantic City great damage was
caused to wires, and the city is in COM
parative darkness tonight. Several
private residences on the meadows
were completely surrounded by water,
compelling occupants to use boats in
going to and from buildings.
Reports from Eastern Pennsylvania
indicate the prevalence Of heavy winds
and rain, accompanied in some in
stances by light fall of snow. At
Shenandoah, where snow fell, many
small buildings on the outskirts were
blown down. Telegraphic communica-
ton was also crippled.
In the mining regions of Northeast
ern Pennsylvania the snowfall has in
some places reached a depth of six
inches, with no signs of abatement.
Traffic has been seriously impeded.

Paris Believes 1t Is Only a Matter
of a Few Days.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The United States
and Spanish peace commissioners held
private sessions today. Afterwards
representatives Of both sides predicted
confidently that the treaty would be
signed within a week, unless unfore-
seen complications arise.
The American commissioners say
there is no foundation for the reports
circulated in the United States and
cabled back that President Mckinley
has forwarded to the American com
missioners instructions to insist un-
yieldingly upon coaling base in the
Carolines, and that the Spaniards are
endeavoring to renew their opposition
to a cession of the Philippines.
Both commissions recognize that the
latter question is settled.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. All dav
terrific storms have ragged all over the
state, particularly in the northern part.
Rain and sleet have fallen here all
day, and the streets have been DESERT
ed. A special to the State Journal
from Lima tells Of conditions existing
there, saying: "The severest storm in
years has prevailed here today, doing
many thousands of dollars worth Of
damage to telegraph, telephone and
electric light companies. Poles have
given way under the weight Of the wet
snow, and hundreds of wires are down
and crossed so as to make them use
less. The city is in darkness tonight.

account Of the binding Storm
Another special from Findlay SAYS:
THE heaviest snow storm known in

traffic is entirely suspended, and all
railroad trains are very late"
CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 4.-The snow
storm of last night was followed to-
day throughout the Ohio valley by
rain and sleet with high winds. Tele-
graphic communication, steam rail-
ways and trolIeys are badly crippled.
The rain and sleet continues, but 1t is
turning so cold that the storms will
soon be over.
TOLEDO, O., Dec. 4.-The worst
storm on Lake Erie this season is in
progress A heavy snow has nearly
cut this city off from the outside
world. Wires are down in every di-
rection. Dozens of boats are in the
bay, and fears for the safety of many
of them are entertained The wind is
blowing a gale over the lake.
CLEVELAND, Dec. A light rain.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4-The
curtain will ring up tomorrow at noon
upon the closing session Of the Fifty
fifth congress. The war and the fruits
Of the American victory carry in their
wake many problems, which the ma
Jional legislators must solve. But,
though many questions may press for
solution, the brief space covered by
this session, which expires by limita-
ton March I, precludes the probable
ity Of much being accomplished be-
yond the passage of the regular money
budgets, the legislation for the IN
crease Of the regular army, which the
administration deems necessary to
meet the obligations imposed upon the
country by the result Of the war, and
probably the enactment of q law to
give a permanent territorial govern
ment TO the Hawaiian islands.
This covers all the important legis-
lation which the congressional leaders
expect to see enacted at this session.
It is almost the unanimous sentiment
of the members that no attempt should
be made 10 legislate concerning the
possessions acquired through the war
with Spain at this session.
There are earnest advocates of the
Njcaraguan canal, who will strive to
secure Its passage now, and they. may
possibly be successful, but neither il
nor any one of the measures like the
pooling bill and the anti-scalper bill
which have strong friends. will be
allowed to interfere with the bills the
passage Of which has been deemed ab-
sCluo6ly necessary TO prevent an ex-
ira session. The leaders at both ends
OF the capitol have put their heads TO-
gether and the work of the session is
TO be entered upon with the idea Of
avoiding an extra session. With this
purpose in view the appropriation bills
are TO be given the road at both ends
OF the capitol and pressed through
With all possible haste
BILLS READY.
Two subcommittees of the appro-
priations committee Of the house have
been at work for a week. The deficiency
bill to meet the extraordinary exnenses
of the army and navy during the six
months from Jan. l, 1899 TO July l is
ready to submit to the full committee
tomorrow, and the regular District of
Columbia appropriation bill will he
ready by the end of the week. It is
necessary that the former should be-
come law before the holiday recess
which this year is to be shorter than
usual, and Chairman Cannon hopes to
see it through the house and into the
senate before the end of the present
week
The Democrats Of the house have NOT
disclosed their position, but 1t is not
believed they will seek to obstruct an
appropriation bill necessary for the
maintenance of the army now in the
field Should there be a disposition r.
open up any prolonged debate upon
the conduct of the war upon this bill
