BANKRUPTCY BILL DRAGs.
Listless Speeches Upon the Measure
 Are Made in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The debate on the bankruptcy bill dragged along list lessly in the House to-day, interest in it being overshadowed, as on yesterday, by the Maine disaster. The speeches on the floor attracted almost no attention, and were delivered in most instances to a handful of members. The speakers to- day were: In favor of the bill-Moody (R) of Massachusetts, Alexander (R) of New York, Frederick (R.) of Kansas, Mccall (R) of Massachusetts, Knox (R) of Massachusetts, Crumpacker (R) of h. diana and Deliver (R.) of Iowa; against it-Little D:l of Kentucky, Smith (D.) of Kentucky, Wilson D.) of South Caro- lima, Maddox (D.) of Georgia, Sparkman D.) of Florida and Bartlett D) of Geor- gia.
 In the course of the debate Maddox took occasion to reply to a speech made by Landis (R.) before the Middlesex Club of Boston. He denounced Landis, refer ences to the South and her people as islanders, and said that any man who would indulge in such misrepresentation at a public dinner was unworthy of a place on the floor of the House.
 At 505 p. m. the House took a recess until Il a. m. tomorrow.

RETURN OF KLoNDIKERs.
Stewart Menzies Among Those Who Have Just Come From Dawson.

SEATTLE. Feb. 1.-The steamship Queen, which arrived in the port this morning, had on board several return ing Klondikers. Among the arrivals from Dawson was Stewart Menzies, manager of the Alaska Commercial Company's business at Forty-mile. MT. Menzies left Dawson on January 20 with an exceptionally good dog team and five companions, and made the trip to tide water in nineteen days. He has been in the Yukon Valley for three years. and now. after short stay at his old home in San Francisco, will make a trip to Europe.
 He has an interest in claim No. IS on Fl Dorado, and has one of the big properties on Bonanza He thinks a man is foolish to sell his property out here, for he believes that in a few months 1t will command a greater price in Dawson than would be paid any where else in the world.

MenZies is largely interested on Bonanza, he believes that after Ell Dorado Hunker Creek will come second and Bonanza third in the output of gold this season.

 Washington, Feb. IT.
 After a spirited debate occupying more than two hours the Senate to-day by vote of 34 to 29 agreed to the reso- lution of Turpie of Indiana declaring the Senate's opposition to the confirma- tion of the sale of the Kansas Pacific Railway After the disposition of the resolution the Corbett case was dis cussed by Pettus of Alabama and Hoar of Massachusetts, an agreement having first been reached to take a final vote upon the case on Monday, February 2o.
 At the opening of the session the blind chaplain delivered touching invocation with reference to the awful disaster Of the Maine.
 Turpie's resolution declaring that the sale of the Kansas Pacific ought not to be confirmed unless the Government received not only the principal but also the in terest of it's claim. was laid before the Senate and Thurston resumed his re- marks upon it. He pointed out that the entire debt of the Union Pacific Railroad, which included the Kansas Pacihc brancn, to the Government was about Nl0ou'ooo. The sale of the main and branch lines would return to the Government S6o00O,Ooo, or 91 per cent of the roads indebtedness to the United States, principal and inter- est This, Thurston held, was a piece or good hnanCler1nS on the part Ol lHe IIeSi- dent who, he said, was better informed upon the value of the road and all the details bearing upon that value than any other official of the Government, in Con gross or out. He pointed out that If the sale of the Kansas Pacific were not con- firmed the President would have no other alternative than to redeem the first mort gage bonds and thus, instead of having in the treasury more than $6,000, ,000 as a re- suit of the sale, the Government would have to invest about 100000 more in and then would have on it's hands a prop erty that was of so little value as com pared with what some Senators imagined that not a single one of the great rail- roads centering in Kansas City thought enough of 1t to venture bid upon it at the sale yesterday.
 ThurstCn regarded the settlement ef fected by the administration of the whole Pacific railroad business as eminently sat by nearly $20 000, 900, than that proposed to have been made by the Cleveland ad- ministration. This business is in the hands of the President, and the country may be well satisfied with the discretion the business sagacity, the judgment and the statesmanship of William Mckinley"
 Replying to Thurston, Harris of Kansas read a telegram he had received last night from Topeka, Kan, as follows: messenger sent to St. Louis to have San born approve sale in the morning."
 Harris said he did not know what prac- tical effect the passage of the pending resolution might have, but it was evident that the purchasers were manifesting re- markabe haste to secure the confirmation of the sale.

Promise of Great Quartz Development in the New
 Fl Dorado.
PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT.
Wonderful Futu. q Predicted for the KlOndike by the We'll Known
 Dominion Explorer.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OTTAWA, Feb. 17.-In a public ad- dress before the Senate and Commons of Canada William Ogilvie brought out some new features regarding the Yu- kon country. Sir Wilfrid Laurier pre- sented Ogilvie to the audience as one deservedly famous for discoveries in the Alaska region, which have attract ed the attention of the whole civilized world.
 MT. Ogilvie, in the course of his ad- dress, referred to the fact that there was on both sides of the Yukon and In the country lying about the sources of the Pelly, TesIin and other rivers an area of 3SS.0OO square miles of gold bearing land, and of this 149,000 square miles were in Canada. Referring to the different conditions of life on the 4u- kon, where one was compelled to put up with inconvenience and with treat ment from companions unknown in civilized regions, MT. OgflVie said he had known the associations or He time to be swept away In a single day. There are few things here that try friendship so severely as the experience in the Klondike region. He illustrated this fact by the story of young man belonging to his party who completely broke down in spirits under the hard ships which he was forced to endure, and fell to cursing every one in the camp, and at last the Government for being so crazy to send an expedition to such a forsaken country.
 But l was not so much surprised at that" added MT. Ogilvie, ''as I had al- most begun to entertain the same feel ing toward the Government
 MT. Ogilvie's picture of the interior of the country did not present very inviting prospect. Sailing along the river one sees on their banks timber from eight to twelve inches in diane ter and thinks the whole country is well wooded. This is not true, as the large trees merely form belt about 100 yards wide along each side of the river and back of that the trees seldom grow more than six inches in diameter. This peculiar condition is due to the fact that the sunlight is able to pene- trate further among the trees and the warmth of the river water also aids their growth. Back to about 100 yards from the river moss covers the ground to a depth of two or three feet and be- meath 1t the ground Is perpetually frozen, and the trees as a consequence are mostly stunted.
 Speaking of the prospects before the Yukon country, MT. Ogilvie said 1t was only a question of time when quartz discoveries would be made and the fu- ture of the country would be assured for all time to come. He said he ex- pected a setback next year on account of so many going into the country un- prepared and returning empty handed In regard to the scarcity of food he stated that it was a cry annually raised and though stronger this year than for merly he thought 1t was partly news paper talk
 At the conclusion of the address Lord Aberdeen moved a vote thanking MT. Ogilvie for what he had done for the country.

 The Corbett case was laid before the Senate, and Pettus of Alabama concluded his speech in support of the resolution declaring Corbett not to be entitled to his seat.
 Hoar followed with an extended legal and constitutional argument in favor of the seating of Corbett.

Uncle SANS Collection of Southern
Debts.

Comptroller Tracewell rendered a
decision Monday which 10 calculated
to create a howl from the Southern
states. The state of Virginia made
CLAIM for $1,000 for arming and
equipping its troops curing the war +,
and 1t was approved by Secretary
Alger Monday and turned over to
the Treasury department for pay
ment. Instead of issuing a warrant
for the amount named, Virginia was
given credit for 1000 on some funds
which she owes the government.
The government purchased s593, 900
worth of bonds issued by the state of
Virginia, which fell duo in 1891, up
on which payment has been default
ed. As it is impossible to secure
judgment against a sovereign state,
the government has not made any
effort to collect the money due it
from the Old Dominion, and as this
10 the first opportunity it has had OF
relmbursing itself, it has taken ad-
vantage of 1t. The states CT Arkan-
sas, Florida, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and
Texas are indebted to the govern
ment to the extent of s1.4S5, 600 for
bonds which are held by the govern
ment and which are overdue. Com
trollsr Tracewell will undoubtedly
render a decision in each case when
the states present their war claims
in line with tho one handed down
Monday. 1t is believed that this will
provoke bitter debate in Congress
at the next session, and, if the decis-
ion should be upheld, it will become
necessary for Congress to enact spe-
cial legislation to reimburse the
states named for equipping their
troops. Washington Dispatch.
