/ BOSTON. March 10-The United So
clety of Christian Endeavor has receiv-
ed from Chaplain John J. Chidwick of
the battleship Maine a letter. saying
that he knew very we'll and admired
highly Carlton Jencks, an Endeavorer
who was killed in the explosion. The
chaplain says:
"He was one of our best men and al
though not Of my belief was one of my
greatest comforts. Every Sunday even
ing / was accustomed to hold services
for our crew irrespective OF belief. He
was one Of my jealous promoters for
this service. Frequently we conversed
on spiritual matters, not controversial
ly. but for edification.
"The evening of his last day on earth
was spent with me i'm this manner. Our
men admired him for his attention TO
religious duties, and l am positive his
example gave great glory to God from
the souls of his shipmates. II is the
teaching of our church that men like
Carlton Jencks are undoubtedly saved
"IIe was fond Of his God, and God
was undoubtedly drawn to him. The
disaster occurred shortly after the hour
for retiring, and I know the evening
prayers Of our good friend united him
with his Maker. I have recognized his
body. and it is buried with those Of his
shlpmates who went down on the gal
liant Maine in the cemetery Of Havana" {"

Prooeedlnrs OF the House.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The house
devoted itself to routine business yes
terday. The legislative executive and
judicial appropriation bill went through
It's last stages in the adoption of the
final conference report, and the re-
mainder Of the day was consumed IN
the consideration of the senate amend
ments TO the Indian appropriation bill.
The substitute for the senate provision
regarding the opening of the Uncom-
phagre reservation was knocked out
on point Of order and the amendment
goes back to conference.
The desire Of the conferees to non
concur in tho senate free homestead
clause encountered bitter opposition,
and an arrangement was made whereby
four hours are to be devoted to de-
bate a proposition to concur submit
ted by Mr. Eddy Of Minnesota. Mr..
Sherman, chairman Of the Indian COM
mittee. declared that the free heme-
stead provision would cost the gov
ernment s55,OOO, 900. He desires to elim-
mate It from the bill and has the sup
port Of the secretary of the interior.
Representative Mcclellan OF New
York introduced a bill appropriating
800 coo for the return Of the bodies of
the Maine victims TO the United states
and their burial at public expense at
such places as the relatives of the de-
ceased may designate. The unknown
dead by the terms OF the bill, are to be
buried in the National cemetery at Ar
iington, and a suitable monument is to
be erected to their memory.
The Marsh bill to promote the eff
cheney Of the national militia was re-
ported with several amendment. The
bill is the product Of a thorough study
Of the national guard and its use in
time Of need by either state or federal
authority. 1t repeals all the obsolete
provisions Of the original enactment
Of 1892 still in force and rids the gen
eral militia law Of much verbiage.

ed at New York yesterday from the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm ii after a pleasant voyage
from Gibraltar. Until his arrival he
had had no intimation of the Spanish
request for the recall of General Lee
som Havana.
The statement Is made at the navy
department that the report Of the Maine
court of inquiry probably would come
TO the department some time next week.
lt did not appear, however, that this
statement was founded upon any direct
report from the court, but was rather

FAR made as revealed by Che change OF
methods on the part of the court. 1t is
not expected that Lieutenant Com

The departure OF the Spanish consul

a view of transferring him to a Euro

the news that the senate had passed

TEE SENATE'S TURN.
The Cannon Bill Passed With
Enthusiasm.
PRESENTED BY Mr.. HALE OF MAINE.
sevonty-six Short but Emphatic Speeches
Delivered In Favor of the Measure.
The Marsh BiIl Reported
to tho House.

WASHINGTON March 10.-President
McKinley's hands have been upheld by
both branches of the American con-
Bress. With enthusiasm, fervor and
promptness almost unparalleled in the
renate in time of peace that body yes
terday passed the emergency appropri-
alton bill, carrying SlS3,0 of DEFICIENCIES
and placing at the disposal of the presi-
dent $50 000,0O for national defense. The
vote by which the measure was passed
was unanimous. Seventy-six short,
sharp and emphatic speeches were de-
lvered In favor Of the bill, each one be-
ing simply a ringing AYE" during the
roll call upon the passage of the meas
ure.
Not only did every senator present
register his vote in favor of the bill, but
for every absent member the authorita-
tive announcement was made that if he
were present he would vote aye. From
The time the bill was presented to the
senate by Mr.. Hale of Maine until it
was passed not an inhermonious note
vas sounded. Party lines were swept
aside
In the general outburst Of patriotic
feeling pairs We're broken, every sena-
tor being anxious to register his vote
IN the measure. Mr.. Hale reported the
bill TO the senate and asked that il be
placed on its passage The members of
the committee on appropriations had
previously effected an arrangement
whereby there would be no debate on
the bill, and after it was read Vice
President Hobart placed 1t immediate
ly on its passage.
Twelve minutes after the bill was re-
ported TO the senate the vice president
announced its unanimous passage. The
great work was accomplished so quick
ly that most Of the people who crowded
the galleries scarcely realized that the
measure. so far as congress was con-
cefncd had become a law. Some of the
spectators fully grasped the meaning of
the senate's action, and when the an
nounCement of the vote was made a
murmur Of applause ran through the
galleries.
The members of the senate, however
maintained a digntied silence, the real
ization among all Of them being keen
that a situation which warranted the
| passage of so unusual a measure was
too grave to prompt an outburst Of APP
plause. Earnestness and determination
we're evinced on both sides of the cham
ber, but there was not a note Of levity
that would detract from the seriousness
/ of the work performed.
