mission to investigate immigration, Ia
Dor, manufacture and business: ap-
propriating S473,f51 to pay the Behring
sea awards; creating a commission to
allot lands on the Uintah Indian res
ervation in Utah; dispensing with proof
of loyalty during last war as a pre-
requisite in bounty land application,
where proof otherwise shows title, and
removing the disability imposed by sec
ton of the 14th amendment to the
legislation heretofore incurred.
Late in the session a general bank
ruptcy law was enacted, providing for
voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy.
Many important measures were agitat-
ed which never passed. These included
the movement to either modify or over
throw the civil service system, which
brought out Investigations, numerous
conferences in committees and acri-
monious debate on the floors of both
houses, but finally was lost in the war
excitement.
The Loud bill to create a basis of
second-class mail matter was killed in
the house in March. The personnel of
the navy bill, recognizing the entire
naval service, was reported to the
house, but went over until the next
session. Banking and currency legisla-
ton, proposing a general reform in the
existing scheme, was reported by the
committee, but never came before the
house. The Teller resolution, declaring
for the payment of national bonds in
silver as well as gold. was passed by
the senate by vote of AZ to 80, but
was defeated in the house. Statehood
bills for New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma were killed in committee. An
immigration bill requiring ability to
read and write on the part of those 16
years old, passed the senate, but did
not reach a vote in the house. The
anti-scalping bill, prohibiting ticket
brokerage, reported in both houses,
went over to the next session. The
free homes amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill, giving Ever 10000, 900
acres of public lands as free homes for
settlers, was finally compromised on at
two years extension of payment for
such lands.

the hall resounded with cheers of thrill
ing strength. Then the singing pro-
ceeded.
Meantime, Sergeant at-arms Russell
had brought in 200 small American flags
and every member was now waving
one. 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
was sung while flags waved and the
galleries cheered. Later followed
Yankee Doodle" and Dixie" the lat
ter perhaps for the first time in the
house by members.
Cheers for the speaker were given,
and then the members began leaving,
saying farewell to colleagues. Home,
Sweet Home and AUD Lang Syne"
supplanted the patriotic airs, and i'm
pressed more strongly upon the hearers
that another session was ended.
Clerk Mcdowell, when the singing
ceased, mounted the clerks stand and
announced that Mr.. Allen of Missis
sippi had opened a recruiting office in
the ways and means committee room,
and a few minutes later Mr.. Allen
(popuiarly known as Private John')
arose and said:
THE congressional rough riders will
report to me in the committee room
and enlist for Cuba
The announcement was suggestive of
his speech delivered a number of days
ago, in which he proposed that COM
pany of congressman be recruited.

PROCEEDINGS IN SENATE.
Morgan Wanted to Wait For the
Treaty of Peace.

Washington, July SIN a manner so
simple as to be almost perfunctory,
the senate, at 2:06 o'clock this after
noon, adjourned without day.
1t had been agreed, when the senate
convened at noon, that the house reso-
luton providing for the adjournment
of congress at 2 o'clock should be adop-
ted, and that an executive session
should be held to confirm the nomina-
tons in the military and naval estab-
lishments. No other business except
of the merest routine nature was to be
transacted. The arrangement was car
ried out to the letter.
For nearly an hour previous to adj
iournment. President Mckinley and all
the members of the capinet, except
Secretaries Day and Long, were in the
speakers room, adjoining the senate
chamber. During that time the presi-
dent signed a large number of en-
crossed bills, many of which would
have failed had it been necessary to
send them to the executive mansion for
his signature.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama opposed the
proposed adjournment, maintaining
that it would be far more desirable for
congress to take a recess until the first
Monday in September. He urged that
the war with Spain seemed to be draw
it was the duty of congress to remain
in session, as questions of the gravest
consequence might be precipitated at
any moment. He urged, too, that a
treaty of peace with Spain might soon
demand the attention of the senate.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska spoke in a
similar vein, and stated also that the
calendar was crowded with bills of an
important character.
This irO1phf from Mr.
Gallinger the statement that there were
116 general and 80 ordered pension bills
on the calendar, a smaller number, he
said than had been on the calendar at
adjournment during any time during
the past 90 years.
After half a dozen objections had pre-
vented the consideration of the bill per-
hitting volunteers at the front to cast
their votes for members of congress,
Mr.. Thurston secured the adoption of
a resolution for the appointment of a
committee of 10 senators to attend the
Trans Mississippi exposition at Omaha
on stated day.
Then, at 1905 p. M, on motion of Mr..
Allison. the senate went into executive
session.
At 1859 the executive session ended,
and the doors were opened for the clos
ing session.
The clock by which the senate regu-
lates its business had been turned back
five minutes in order that extra time
might be gained.
Mr.. Spooner offered a resolution
thanking Mr.. Frye, president pro TEN,
in the able manner in which he had
presided over the deliberations of the
senate during the present session. It
was adopted.
similar resolution offered by Mr..
Cockreu of Missouri thanking Vice
President Hobart was adopted with a
rousing aye.
Vice President Hobart then, the hour
of , o'clock being indicated by the SEN
ate timepiece, formally declared the
senate adjourned without day.

SPANISH PRIvATEER STORY
LYING IN WAIT FOR KLONDIKE
TREASURE.
Shipping Men On the Coast Give No
Credence to the Yarn-Gold-laden
Vessels Coming.

Washington, July S.-The navy de-
partment has been informed that
Spanish privateer, carrying five guns,
is lowering off the coast of British
Columbia. According to last accounts,
the privateer was between Prince
Charlotte sound and Dixon's entrance.
Prompt instructions have been sent to
the military authorities of the north
west coast to prepare for visitation.
Victoria, B. c., July S.-United States
Consul Smith notified the department
at Washington that Pilot Westerly,
who had been engaged to take the
steamer Alpha north, has abandoned
the enga cement, having received
contract to take a tugboat to a pri-
vateer living hidden in Queen Charlotte
sound and to act as pilot. The pilot
has been paid 81, 900 cash, the contract
price being $4,000. Consul Smith is
very reticent.
San Francisco, July S.-The report
from Washington that a Spanish pri-
Vateer is lowering off the coast of Brit
ish Columbia, is not credited here.
Some time ago it was reported that a
man named Brown had cabled from
Victoria to the Spanish authorities at
Madrid. asking for letters of marque
to fit out a privateer and prey upon
the treasure ships coming from the
hiOnQlke. A the tllilt lIliS " S
thought to be merely an advertising
scheme to revive the waning interest
in the Klondike gold fields, and no
trace of Brown could be found at Vic
toria
If a Spanish privateer is really
cruising off British Columbia, she will
have rich pickings. The steamers Ro-
anoke and It. Paul are due to arrive
almost any day from st. Michaels with
big shipments of treasure to the North
America Trading & Transportation
pany The steamer Leelanaw is also
due with returning prospectors and
their clean-ups. The Roanoke and the
Leelanaw are bound for Seattle and
the st. Paul for San Francisco.
Leon Sloss of the Alaska Commercial
company, when told of the alleged pri-
vateer, said that, Of course, such a
thing was possible, but he did not be-
lieve it, He placed the rumor on a
par with last seasons story that Chi
nese pirates contemplated an attack
on the Klondike fleet, which story
caused the government to send a reve-
nue. cutter north to escort treasure
boat down. The United States gun
boat Wheeling is the only government
vessel at present in Alaskan waters,
and she is conveying a surveying ex-
petition 10 the Yukon.
Seattle, Wash, July S.-No credence
whatever is given here to the report
that a Spanish privateer is lying off
the British Columbia coast to intercept
gold-Iaden steamers from st. Michaels,
Alaska. Shipping men generally re-
gard the story as a hoax, and say that
it doubtless originated in the desire
of British Columbia cities TO divert all
Klondike traffic to Canadian vessels.

PETER MAHER Wins A FIGHT
POUNDED GODDARD UNTIL He
WAS HELPLESS.
At the End of the Eighth Round the
Australian Quit-Maher Was Also
Badly Punished.

New York, July S.-Peter Maher de-
feated Joe Goddard tonight in eight
rounds at the Lenox Athletic club. The
fight had been scheduled for % rounds
with five ounce gloves. Goddard has
defeated Maher on two previous occa-
sions, and was the favorite among the
sporting element previous to the fight.
Goddard administered a lot of hard
punishment to his adversary, but re-
ceived a terrific pounding while he was
doing so. Goddard was nearly out a
couple of times, but the bell saved him
and when he quit towards the end Of
the eighth round he was scarcely able
to stand on his feet. At the same time
the fast work which both had gone
through from the beginning had told
on Maher and he was unable to land
a blow heavy enough to finish the
Australian.
In the first round, in a lively ex-
change, Maher hooked his right to the
head, and put Joe to the floor. God
dard's nose was bleeding when the
gong counded.
In the second, Goddard's defense was
bad and Maher got at him freely, but
did no great damage. After some
rough inighting in the third, Goddard
went down again from a left swing on
the face. When he got up Maher sent
him down again. At the close of the
fourth, Goddard got in a couple of
lefts or the head that staggered Maher
Round five saw Goddard lying on the
floor and he stayed down nine seconds.
Maher repeated the performance when
Joe got on his feet and the latter again
took nine seconds rest before rising.
The next two rounds were full of hard
hitting on both sides, but in the eighth
Maher brought his man to his knees.
The final round started lively. God
dard trying hard to reach Maher eff
fectively, but Peter landed repeatedly
on head and face. Goddard was now
unable to defend himself and held his
head down with his arms crossed in
front of his face. Maher went at him
but did not land a knockout blow. God
dard backed away and stretched out
his hand, as he did so saying, this is
more than nature can stand" as he
shook Makers hand.
The referee then awarded the fight to
Maher. Time of round 2 minutes, SO
seconds.

SENATE WAS DECEIVED.
Report On the Methodist Book Con-
Germ Claim

Washington, July S.-The senate
committee on claims today made its
report upon the investigation made by
the committee into the payment OF the
claim of the Methodist book concern
and the payment to Major IL. b. Stani-
man of s1O0. 500 as agent in getting the
claim through. The report finds that
the committee was deceived by the rep
RESERVATIONS of Mr. Stahlman and
Messrs. Barber and Smith, the book
agents, but absolves the Methodist
Church South as such from blame in
the matter. 1t is also found that no
senator or member of congress re-
ceived any money in connection with
the claim. The testimony taken was
also made public.
