very tamcly. There was not even vote

8 WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - After the
transaction of some routine business in
the senate to-day. Mr.. Galllnger. chair
man of the committee on pensions, re-
ported adversely from the committee q
bill to grant pension OF SioO a month
each to Margaret Butler Meade. and
Henrietta Meade, daughters Of the late
General George Meade, and asked that
the bill be Indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Allen tNeb)., asked what reason
the committee had for requesting the in
definite postponement OF the bill.
Mr.. Gallinger explained the terms OF
the bill. and s.id the committee had ta-
ken adverse action on the bill because
It did not believe It proper for the coun-
try 10 enter upon the experiment Of PEN
sionlng the daughters of soldiers
Mr.. Allen slid he had a distinct recol-
lection of several Instances Of pensions
being graT.ed to the daughters OF SOL
dicrs. and expressed tie opinion that
this bill ought at least so to the calendar
for discussion. He thought he could not
be accused OF too great li6erallty, for
in this case the s.oldler, General Meade,
had performed remarkable service. In
his, (Allen's) opinion it was a serious
question whether II G 'cral Meade had
not been at the battle OF Gettysburg, We
should have government to-day.
In reply Mr.. GalAnger said he had not
the slightest objection to the consldera-
ton Of the bill. but he desired to say to
the senate and the country that IL the
government enters upon the business Of
pcns!oning the daughters Of soldiers The
pension list would be swelled TO billions
instead of millions OF dollars.
Mr.. Allen thought chat might be better
than to throw the government money
into mill ponds and unknown creeks
throughout the country.
That Is a mater said Mr.. Gallinger,
bringing the colloquy to an end, with
which the committee on pensions has
nothing to Dc"

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Jan. 1l.-When
the two houses adjourned there was a
general stampede for the Neil House to
congratulate Senator Hanna on the re-
suit Of the ballotinJ to-day. The feel
Ing for him became intensely strong to-
day. because Of the charge of bribery
that had been made by his enemies
against somc of his friends. As many
believed the charges to have been
sprung for effect on the eve OF the bal
lotlne, there were many who said the
charges did Hanna more good than
harm to-day. 5Si&
Representative Gayman, chairman OF
the Democratic steering committee, said
Hanna had now enough votes recorded
10 elect, and his election could not be
prevented unless some OF his support
crs died, became seriously sick or were
absent at the joint ballot tomorrow
noon.
Charles Gerrish, the coalition chief
clerk of the house, said Hanna was
considered beaten up TO an hour before

HORRIBLE DISTRESS

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. = Hon.
Charles W. Russell, assistant United
States attorney in the department. of
justice, returned to-day from Cuba,
where he spent two weeks invest!gat-
ing the conditions prevailing on the ISL
and. To the Associated Press Mr.. Rus
sell said:
II. an very glad 10 be irtrviewed on
the subject of Cuba, because feel 1t q
solemn duty to humanity to endeavor
to make the Amricar people realize the
terrible distress which exists there.
II spent just two weeks in Cuba, visit
ed Havana, went south TO Jaruco. SOUTH
east to Guines, northeast to MattanZas.
eastwardly about 200 miles to the middle
of the country to San Domingo, Santa
Clarn and Sagua la Grande.
The spectacle at the Fossos and ia
cobs houses. Of women and children
emacIated to skeletons and suffering
from. diseases produced by starvation
was sickening. In Sagua saw some
sick and emaciated little grils in chill
dren's hospital. started three days be-
fore by charitable Cubans, and saw q
crowd of miserable looking reconcen-.
trndos with tin buckets and other re-
ceptaclcs getting a small allowance of
food doled out to them In yard.
In the same city, in an old sugar
warehouse. saw stationed around the
inside walls the remnants Of twenty
or thirty Cuban families. In one case
the remnant consisted of two little chill
dron Of seven or eight. In another case
where talked with the people In bro
ken Spanish there were four individu-
ais, mother. girl of fourteen and
two quite small girls. The smallest
was then suffering from malarial fe-
vcr. The next had the signs on her
hands. with which had become farnil-
lar. of having had the beri-beri. These
four were all that the order of concen-.
tratlon had left alive of eleven.
San Domingo is little more than rail-
road station In times OF peace, but at
present 1t has n considerable population
living In cabins thatched with the tops
of royal paint trees, captured Of the sur
veyors OF other reconcentrados. The huts
are arranged close together in q little
clump. and the concentration order re-
quired and apparently still requires
these people to live within a circle OF
small block houses commonly dignified
in these dispatches by the names OF forts
OF course. they had no work to do, no
soil to till, no seed to plant, and only
begging to live on.

opposition was manifested to the mos
tion. but the steering committee OF the
Republican opponents OF the civil SER
Vice law had agreed to this programme.
The antagonism to-day to the motion
to close debate came therefore princl-
pnlly5 from the Democratic. The latter
were supported by. the Popullsts md q
few Republicans who believed the do.
bate should go on. After some wrang-
Inns the previous question was ordered
on tho demand OF Mr.. Moody, but tho
rising vote on the motion to close tho
debate was very close, ayes %. nays S5,
and on the'demand OF the Democrats the
roll was called. !,
When the roll call was concluded the
motion to close debate stood defeated
by six votes. A Arecapltulatlon of tho
vote was called for, and II was .whis-
pered about that assurances had been
received from the, rules committee that
time would be given for the consldera-

Thus the speaker saved the day, and
