BANKRUPT BILL PASSED
CONTAINS VOLUNTARY AND IN

Congressional Clock and Speaker

Two Years-Defnition of ''Insolv-
ent" and Its Effects.

Washington, Feb. 19.-After four days
of consideration the house today passed
/ the bankruptcy bill, reported by the
house committee on judiciary as sub
stitute for the Nelson bill, passed by
/ the senate at the extra session last
summer.
The bill is known as the Henderson
bill, and contains both voluntary and
involuntary features. 1t is considered
less drastic than the measure passed by
the last house by a vote of 157 to 81.
The involuntary feature, however, had
but 16 majority. Today a motion to
strike out the involuntary feature was
defeated by a majority of %, the vote
/ standing, ayes, 15S; nays. 125. Eighteen
Republicans voted against the BILL and
u Democrats for it. The Populists, with
one exception, voted against it.
Today the bill was read for amend
ment under the five-minute rule. IN
der the order made, the final vote was
to be taken at o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Bailey sought to secure an arrange
ment by which the house could have
an opportunity to vote on the senate
''or Nelson BILL" before voting on the
house substitute, but he failed. An ar
rangement was effected, however, by
which the first vote was taken at
o'clock should be on Mr.. Underwood's
series of amendments to strike out the
involuntary features of the substitute.
DEFINITION OF "INSOLvENT."
During the consideration of motion
to strike out the section defining the
terms used in the bill, one of which de-
fined an '.insovent" as one whose prop
erty, al fair valuation, was not suffi-
cient to pay his debts, Mr.. Bland CDem.,
Mo- stated that the effect of this pro-
vision of the bill would be to declare
over one-half of the business men Of
the country bankrupts.
Mr.. Lacey (Rep., la said he could
not give his support to the involuntary
features of any bankruptcy law. Dem
ocratic applause) The debate on this
amendment proceeded in a desultory
manner.

UNLUcKY THIRTEEN.
That Number of English Tenderfeet
Are Plunged in Grief

Montreal. Feb. 19.-Thirteen young
Engiishmen, under the leadership of
Viscount Avo1more. left here on Dec.
13 last for the Klondille. Since their
departure they have had all kinds of
bad luck.
From Montreal they proceeded TO Ed
monitor, \. ". T. A few days after
their arrival there, Captain Allyne
died of pneumonia contracted by ven
turing out when the temperature was
20 degrees below zero.
DR. Hoops, another member of the
party, fell and badly sprained his an
kle a few days later. Then Captain
Powell, while on a short trip into the
country, had his feet badly frozen. An
English colonel, who was one of the
Inflated Is, broke his arm. Captain
Powell left the party and proceeded to
Vancouver. Three days later he died.
Then DR.. Hoops met with another acci-
dent by falling across a dog sleigh and
breaking his ribs
Then a MIR. Bannerman, another of
the party, was arrested at the instance
of Captain O'Brien, on a charge of
embezzlement.
Captain O'Brien, who had assumed
leadership of the party, was arrested

COURT OF INQUIRY.
1t Will Begin Its Sessions In Key
West Tomorrow

Washington, Feb. 19.-The excitement
of the past few days has mostly dis
appeared at the navy department, and
the overworked officials, particularly
the officers of the navigation bureau,
who have been working night and day
since the Maine disaster to meet the
inquiries of anxious relatives of the
victims, while keeping up the current
work of the office, were able to turn
attention to less pressing matters.
The first dispatch that came to hand
relative TO the disaster was one from
Admiral Sicard, dated at Key West
last night. 1t was as follows:
Secretary of the Navy:
"Bache sailed from Key West for
Havana with the divers and stores for
the Maine. The Iowa comes to Key
West on the 18TH and the Sampson

bles on the arrival here of Mark

men from the Maine have been distrib-

court of inquiry.

Texas took from New York for the
Maine was on board the Maine at the
time of the explosion, as no opportu-
nifty had been offered to transfer them
from the Texas, where they still re-

is Lieutenant Commander Mark, now
on his way from Washington to Key
West, who, with Captain Sampson.
Caption Chadwick and Lieutenant Com
mander Potter, will constitute the court
of inquiry.
Lieutenant Commander Mark will be
the judge advocate of the court. and
lay down the line of procedure, being
somewhat of an expert in that matter
1t is believed at the navy department
that he cannot reach Key West early
today from Tampa, owing to the lack
of a regular boat but il is thought
that he will be there in time to con-
duct the investigation when it opens
next Monday. While the court is en-
tiTely master of its own proceedings,
the department does not doubt that af-
ter few preliminary sessions in Key
West, which will lay the foundation for
further investigation through the TAX
ing of the testimony of the survivors
now at Key West, the board will pro-
coed TO Havana.
At that place the work can be con-
Quoted rapidly to a finish, with the
assistance of Captain Sigsbee and the
information gathered by the divers
from the wreck. Touching this ques-
ton of the examination of the wreck by
divers. Captain Sigsbee has telegra pied
that he had made arrangements with
the Spanish officials for the prosecution
of the inquiry, ard that there is no fric-
ticn. so that the official believes that
there is no reason now to interfere with
the naval office in the discharge of his
duty.

WON'T TAKE RISKS.
Grew and Passengers Rebel Against
an Unseaworthy Ship.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb -
Steamer North Pacific, which arrived
yesterday morning from Seattle en-
route TO Alaska, is still here and is
likely TO remain for some time. Owing
to the rough weather the steamer did
not attempt to cross the straits of
Fuca until late yesterday, and when
half way over, was forced to put back
on account of the heavy seas, which
caused the steamer to ship large guam
titles of water. This morning all but
three Of the steamers crew deserted
her and also the passengers, who num-
Der 100. They decline to proceed fur
Their on this steamer, as they are con-
WINGED that she is not seawOrthy.
Fifty OF the passengers visited Col
lectOr HuestiS at the United States
customs house this morning in a body
and asked him to not allow the North
Pacific to go TO sea
The managers telegraphed to Seattle
for a new crew, which will reach here
tonight. Unless prevented by the au-
thOrities the managers assert that they
win start north as soon as the new
crew arrives and the weather mOder-
ates and that those passengers who do
not want TO go can stay behind, but no
money win be refunded.

MoNEY-MAKING SCHEME.
Plan to Dredge Klondike Rivers En-
listing New York Capital.


Montreal, Feb. 19.-Joseph A Mer-
Ger, a brother of the late pre-
mier who is backed by i'm
mense capital, has just concluded a
deal with the government by which
he has the sole right TO dredge $50
miles of rivers in the heart of the
Klondike district.
The arrangement is from five to
eight miles on each side of the river
in the Klondike district. An immense
sum Of money has been paid for the
privileges, but the present owners of
these have no intention of operating
them themselvs. The idea is simply to
launch the scheme on the London and
the American markets, and Mr.. Mercer
says that while for the present the
names Of the men interested are not to
be made public, they are mostly New
Workers, and it will undoubtedly be
mostly New York money that will han
die the deal for the present. A cable
from London says Londoners approve
the scheme, as il is known there that
gold is in the beds of all the rivers, but
the English require further particulars
before investing their money.
THAT means" said Mr.. Mercer, that
American capital will control fully two
thirds of the undertaking"
It is estimated that between $500, 900
and 100000 will be paid for the lease
before the actual dredging commences.
