Pass.
Washington, June 13.-Senators
Lodge and Elkins made partial can
vass of the Senate on the Hawaiian
question to-day and they say they are
satisfied a sufficient number OF advc-
Gates on annexation will remain in
Washington to make quorum of the
Senate and to insure the passage of the
House resolution through that body.
They count upon prolonged daily SEES
sions until action is had. The annexa-
tionists received renewed assurances of
the earnest support of the administra-
ton and hope on this account - con-
troll practically the solid support of the
Republican side Of the chamber. They
count upon eight or ten votes from the
Democratic side.

Madrid, June 10, 2 p. MA semi-o1-
fetal note issued to-day emphaucally
ccntradicts all the American reports OF
the operations in Cuba and even denies
that American forces have erected a
landing in Guantanamo bay, or else
where. The note concludes:
THE European press will make
mistake in imagining Spain is discour-
aged and at the end Of her resources.
On the contrary, Spain is full of hope
and determined to continue the war"
Brussels, June 13.-A special Mad
rid correspondent of the Petit Bleu, OF
this city, has telegraphed an interview
which he claims to have had with Sc
nor Merino, the private secretary OF
the Spanish premier, Senior Sagasta, in
which the secretary is quoted as having
declared that the Spanish government
will now accept any peace proposal
which is submitted ION the express
condition that it does not emanate from
the enemy" but the premier's secretary
is said to have added: "The interna-
tional mediation which would be es-
pecially welcomed upon the part of
Spain would be in the case Of initiative
being taken by France or Austria"
Paris, June 13.-The Temps this af-
ternoon publishes a dispatch from Mad
rid in which it is said that the commu-
nications exchanged by high officials
at Madrid, Vienna and Berlin do not
treat directly of peace but that "an
important view Of the situation may
arise out of Germany's hostility to the
to the development of American inter
vention in the Philippine islands"
In connection with the reported in
tention OF the United States to occupy
the Ladrone and Caroline islands, it is
pointed out in the dispatch that Ger
many has long desired Ponape as a
coaling station"
''As the Spanish cabinet does not con-
slider the moment arrived to discuss
peace" the dispatch continues, 'the
war party and the press interpret the
international pour parleurs as an indi-
cation of an understanding and a. COM
bination possibly leading to European
cooperation against the United States"

When the War Revenue bill gets
in its work up will go the prices of

Special Dispatch to The Cali.

DENVER, Oct. IA special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Florence,
Colo, says: On Saturday William Lei
lin and his -year-old boy came to
Florence from their home six miles
away to do some trading. After spend
ing the day about town they started
back in their wagon.
1t was raining when they left town,
but when out about five miles the rain
turned to a binding snowstorm. The
father lost his way and wandered
about among the scrub pine and in the
hills all night. The wagon and team
were abandoned and an effort was
made to reach home on foot. AS the
night wore on the little fellow became
cold and numb and froze to death in
his fathers arms. The father man.
aged to keep alive by walking until he
could walk no more from the numbness
of his limbs.
Daylight broke and Leilin knew he
was not far from home, but he was un-
able to walk. At o'clock his cries
were heard by his wife, who went to
his rescue. Neighbors were summoned
and the old gentleman was assisted to
his home, but he was so near dead that
he could not give an account of the
nights wanderings. The dead body Of
the boy told a pitiful story of a lack
of sufficient clothing to keep him warm.
The child wore knee pantaloons, and a
small coat, but no underwear nor outer
coat. His shoes and stockings were al
most completely worn out.

ARRIVAL OF THE STORM
WAS UNEXPECTED

DENVER, Oct. 1.-THE Denver Of
flee of the Weather Bureau received no
reports to-day from points east of the
Missouri River. Since early this morn
ing Denver has been almost entirely
cut off from communication by wire
with the East owing to the prevalence
of an unusually severe storm of sleet
and rain throughout Kansas and Ne
braska. In Kansas the storm extends
as far East as Manhattan. 1t is re-
ported to be very severe at Omaha, but
it is not known here how much farther
east it extends.
The storm came Unexpectedly, as at
midnight warmer weather was pre-
dicted in those places where rain and
sleet have since been falling. OF TWEEN
ty-flve Western Union lines usually in
operation between Denver and Omaha
and Kansas City, only two could be
worked at all to-day. Chicago could
be reached only via ogden. Helena and
are also down.
Passengers on the incoming eastern
trains, which arrived this afternoon
five or six hours late, report that the
storm is a severe one, that the rails
are so slippery that extreme caution is
necessary in running and that snow
plows are doing valiant work.
THE disturbance started in the lat
ter portion Of last week" said Weather

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-This afternoon
President Mckinley, with college and
other dignitaries, marched through
rain, mud and SluSh to Kent Hall, Uni
versity of Chicago, where, with all due
ceremony, the President was invested in
cap, gold and hood and had conferred
upon him the honorary degree of Doc
tor of Laws.
After the ceremonies at the university
the President was escorted through
Washington Park and up to the
armory. Nearly the whole distance the
streets were lined with people who
stood in the cold, drizzling rain and
cheered as the Presidents close car
riage passed by.
At the armory detachments of the
Illinois Naval Reserves, the First I'LL
nois Infantry and the Fourth Regiment
Infantry from Fort Sheridan were lined
up with the policemen to assist in pre-
serving order. Thousands had gather
ed there to greet the President The
party entered the armory with the local
reception committee and took places
upon the platform. A tremendous
shout went up from the great crowd in
the building when the President ap-
peared.
After Colonel Turner and John M.
Harlem had greeted the President on
behalf of the reception committee the
handShaking started. For an hour ana
ten minutes the President shook hands
with the thousands who streamed by
him.
For each one he had a smile and q
word of greeting. During the time
number of young women tried to kiss
the President, but although there were
several narrow escape none OF the am
bilious women succeeded. A number of
men and women kissed the Presidents
hand, however.
When the public reception had closed
the President and his party entered
their carriages and were driven to the
Auditorium Hotel, where they sat down
to a dinner given in their honor by the
Peace Jubilee reception committee.
Later the President met a committee
of Chicago men and promised them he
would address the railway mems mass
meeting at the First Regiment Armory
on Thursday afternoon. Then the Presi-
dent left for the McWilliams residence.
He was somewhat fatigued and retired
soon after reaching the house
The strong wind and rainstorm that
prevailed to-day played havoc with the
Peace Jubilee arches and decorations
Six OF the arches, the First Regiment
arch at Van Buren, and Michigan ave
nue., the Dewey arch at Monroe and
State, the Evans arch at Clark and
Adams streets. the Miles arch at State
and Adams and the Maine arch at
Jackson boulevard and Dearborn
streets, were blown down and badly
damaged.
Three persons were struck by pieces
of wreckage and seriously injured.
Hundreds of flags and streams of bunt-
ing with which downtown buildings
were decorated were torn away by the
wind. 1t is hardly probable that the
arches will be replaced. Streetcar traf-
fic was blocked for hours by the debris.
The bicycle parade has been post
poned until Thursday night.

fraction thereof. The report says:
THE administrations named have d.
rect or separate postal intercourse to
a large extent with our country and
consequently are more likely to agree
to change desired than the admins
trations of inland countries that have
to pay transportation charges to the
seacoast to intermediary nations.
THE English administration par
ticularly, will probably assent to the
proposed arrangement, for 1t has but
recently decided to adopt the 2-cent
rate on letters between the British
islands and Canada, as we'll as other
parts of the empire-the change being
ordered to take effect on the 18th day
of December next.
The department now realizes moth
ing in the way of revenue from ocean
letters, practically all the postage paid
on them going to the steamship COM
panies carrying the mails. If the rate
should be reduced the same state of
things would exist; the department
would still get nothing and lose moth
ing, and the steamship companies
would suffer no hardships. The reduc-
ton of rate would no doubt eventually,
at least, give them as much compensa-
ton In the way of postaee as they now
get"

FATED TO MEET DEATH
ON STORMY ATLANTIC

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Secretary
Long to-day granted thirty days leave
of absence, with permission to leave the
United States, to J. P. Fireng, chief
clerk of the naval pay office, New York.
There is a pathetic story behind this
action. Last summer the wife and
daughter Of Mr.. Fireng engaged pas
sage on the Inflated French steamer
La Bourgogne, which was wrecked off
Newfoundland, but just before her de-
parture from New York, fortunately
concluded to make the ocean voyage
by another line.
After spending the summer in Europe
they engaged passage for home on a
French liner, but at the last moment
changed their minds in favor of the
English steamer Mohegan and were
among the number who persisted on the
rocks off The Lizard Friday night. Mr..
Fireng's sad mission is to endeavor to
recover the bodies of his wife and
daughter and bring them to the United
States for interment
