THE DEFICIENCY BILL
PASSED By THE HOUSE.
Measure Did Not Open Up the Expected
Debate on the Conduct Of tho War
by tho Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The urgency
deficiency bill. 10 provide for the support
OF military and naval establishments. was
passed by the house today, practically
without opposition. Fear had been ex-
pressed that the measure might open up
a prolonged debate upon the conduct Of
the war. but the democratic leaders de-
clded that such debate would properIy
come later upon the regular appropria-
tion bills. or upon the bill for the reorEan-
ization Of the army. There was not a
word Of criticism Of the war during the
debate. The only point upon which an
issue was raised today was as to whether
the bill. providing. as Il did, for the pay
ment OF volunteers until July /, 1850.
might not be construed as a modification
OF the law under which the volunteers
were mustered into service.
McRae. OF Arkansas. offered an amend
ment, providing that Il should not be so
construed. and upon Il there was a gem
eral discussion as to the advisabllIty OF
mSs.srtng volunteers out before the regu-
lar army was increased. Cannon finally
accepted the McRae amendment. and
that removed the only shadow OF opposi-
tion TO the bill. A humber Of amend
ments were adopted upon the recommen+.
dalton OF the appropriations committee,
which received some supplemental estl-
mates after the bill was prepared. The
largest OF these was an item OF 10000
for an emergency fund for the war de-
partment and S57s O01 for the ordnance
department.. increasing the amount car
ried by the bii to 80, Ss5.S92. The house
adjourned until Monday.

Cardinal Gibbons Asks Congress to Open

tion at This Session.

WASHINGTON. Dec. S-Cardinal Glib
bons, IN behalf OF himself and the arch
bishops OF the Catholic church in Ameri-
ca, has submitted u petition to congress
asking that the question OF the contract
school system be reopened and that con-
gress again so over the whole subject Of
Indian education. The petition sets forth
at length the history Of the Indian school
question and the legislation applying to
IL dP to the recent provisions in the
appropriation bills looking to gradual
discontinuance OF government aid to sec
tartan schools. The petition asks that
congress insist that an inquiry be made
In place of departmental inquiries. in or
der that the merits and defects of con-
tract schools and government schools be
shown. and mot kept as secret OF state,
concealed in bills Of any department or
bureau"
The petition was presented by Repre-
sentative Mcintyre, OF Baltimore, and
was referred to the house Indian COM
mittee, which is now preparing the Indian
appropriation bill. Senator German pre-
sented similar petition In the senate.

SHORT OF PROVISIONS
AND LIVED ON coAcoANUTs.
Schooner Mildred Arrives at New York
After a Stormy Passage From Cen
tral AmerIca-PrIvatIons Of Crew

NEW YORK. Dec. aLwIthIn a short
sailing distance OF this port and twice
beaten back after a two months voyage.
was the story told by the little schooner
Mildred, which has arrived here s DAYS
out from San Bias, Central America.
with a cargo Of coacoanuts.
The crew was forced to use coacoanut
milk instead Of water. the meat for FOOD
and the shells for fire. Captain Tlbbett
OF the schooner said as he landed:
Thank God II 10 all over now. I never
expected TO get In here alive"
According to the account Of the voyage
given BY the captain. the Mildred as soon
as she left San Bias encountered rough
weather. December 5th. the little schoon-
or, out Of provisions and with the crew
exhausted and discouraged, arrived on
Cape May. There she fell In with the
pilot boat Philadelphia. which supplied
her with provisions and water. For a
number Of days the provisions and water
on the Mildred had been exhausted. and
the men had lived on the eoacoanuts.
The shells, as well as some OF the wood
work OF the ship. were burned In the
galley fire. in order to give warmth TO
the men, who had for nearly forty days
been in the midst Of series OF storms.
The little food furnished to the crow
by the pilot boat was enough to give
them courage TO proceed on their voyage
to. this port. Once more she started on
her way. only to meet heavy storm
again. This time the captain put In for
shoal water and anchored. The storm
increased and both the anchors Of the
Mildred we're carried away.
Captain T1bbett then ordered all the
sails set and managed to work the ves-
sci out to sea. Finally the tug Protector
was sighted and she brought the Mil
dred into port.
