some Think Adjournment May Be
Reached by May or June.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-Beyond the
fact that the Corbett case will be de-
cided today, and that after its discus
sion the bill regulating the right of way
for railroads in Alaska and for other
purposes will probably be taken up,
the program in the senate for this week
is quite indefinite. Tho Alaska bill is
of much wider scope than its title in
dicates, and it will not be voted upon
without considerable discussion. There
is no general disposition to defeat the
bill. but some senators are of the opin-
ion that 1t should be amended in sew
eral particulars, and they will seek
to secure these changes before the vote
is taken. 1t is believed the bill will
pass after day or two of talk upon it.
1t is probable that after the Alaskan
bill is disposed of some Of the bills of
less general importance on the cal
endar will be considered. One of these
is the bill for the payment Of the claim
Of the book agents of the Southern
Methodist church for property destroy
ed at Nashville during the civil war.
This bill appropriates S2SS,000, and has
aroused some opposition.
Senators generally agree that unless
there Is some reason for pOStponing
adjournment it can be reached by May
or June. The friends of the Hawaiian
treaty say, however, that some of the
appropriation bills will be held back
until the question Of annexation is de-
cided.
The program of the house for the
coming week includes the completion
of the sundry civil bill, which has been
under consideration since last We'd
nesday. action on the bill for the re-
lief Of the victims and survivors of the
Maine disaster the senate bill author
izing the enlistment of two additional
regiments of artillery, and the Loud
bill relating to second class mail mat
ter. The latter bill has been made the
special order for Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. and a spirited contest
Is anticipated.

rived in Seattle enroute for home last
week.
He was taken sick with nalaria1 fe-
yer at Santiago and was Immediately
mustered out to come home to recuper-
ate. In an interview with a P.-I. re-
porter he gave an interesting descrip-
ton of the Santiago campaign and
branded the various stories about star
walton. Encouragement and neglect,
as pictured by some politicians, as
false and without foundation, and said
that climatic changes were the causes
of much sickness and many deaths.

Another Pioneer has Passed Over.

James Pattison, who died at an early
hour on the morning of the 9th inst,
was one of the oldest residents of our
city and county. He was born in
Randolph county, Illinois, Dec. Is,
1924. He crossed the plains to this
coast with his parents and five broth
ers, in 1849, settling at Oregon City.
The succeeding year Mr.. Pattison' s
family started for Puget Sound, but
remained for several months on the
Cow1itz river. When they resumed
their journey, it was in the depths OF
winter, with two feet of snow on the
trail. In crossing at New Market (now
Tumwater), they swan their cattle
over the Deschutes and cut trail to
Olympia, which had been plated as a
town. The family found habitation
on farm east of the town, distant a
few miles, where they resided till 1859,
thence moving to town. Deceased
