Spent One Day in Dfsposing of Ac-
cumuIated Business.
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-The senate
confined itself largely to the transac-
ton of routine business today. The In
dian appropriation bill, which has been
pending for several weeks. was COM
pleted and passed. The executive leg
islative and judicial appropriation bill
was taken up. but after twenty-four
pages Of it had been disposed of, it
was laid aside for the day A few
measures of minor Importance were
passed.
In the course of the debate on the
Indian appropriation bill yesterday Mr..
PettigFew made some serious ref1ec-
tions upon the members of the Flat
head Indian commission. AS Mr.. Fair
banks was absent at the time, he took
occasion today to emphaticaIly refute
the charges.

today was before the subcommittee of
the senate committee on military af-
fairs, which has the army reorganiza-
tion bill under consideration. He sug-
gested in view of the proba bility that
the reorganization bill could not get
through this session. a temporary SUBJ
stitute should be provided for the
maintenance of the army on its present
! basis until the next session of con-
gress. Gen. Miles also made several
recommendations bearing upon the
general bill, but these were largely
along the lines of suggestions made
which have already been given to the
public. One of the recommendations
which he repeated was for the organ
ization of the army upon the basis Of
one soldier for every 1000 of the popu-
lation of the United States proper. and
for every 500 of those occupying out
side possessions.
The subcommittee has practically
abandoned all Idea of attempting to
revive the grade Of lieutenant general
of the army, because of the controver-
sizes existing among the officers OF the
army of high rank. Gen. Miles said
that he had made a calculation show
ing upon his estimate the army would
number about $1,000. He thought we
should need a force of $4,000 in the
Philippines; $4,000 in Cuba, and 5000
in Porto Rico. He criticised the pro-
vision of the bill determining the size
of companies, saying that 100 men
were sufficient for a company in any
branch of the service. To increase
the number would give too many men
to the officers in charge of them, and
thus endanger discipline. He also rec
commended the increase of the general
staff on the plan pursued by the Ger

Thirty dead Filipinos were counted

The gunboats Concord and Callao
kept up an incessant fire from the
bay, the Concord dropping many shells
into the town with telling effect. In
order to avoid accidents from this
source, Gen. Otis was compelled to re-
call the Kansas battalion, after burn
ing the outskirts of the town. Either
the shells of the American warships
or the natives themselves fired a num-

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-There was
an almost complete release today Of
the tension under which the rapid cur
rent Of events in the Philippines has
held the officials of the administration
since the first startling news from Ma
Mia Saturday night. This was brought
about through the receipt of a bulletin
from Gen. Otis. summing up the latest
results Of the fighting he has had with
the natives. The statement that Agui-
naldo's influence had been destroyed,
and that the Filipino leader was seek
ing for cessation of hostilities, and
for conference, was most acceptable,
and was Interpreted as an admission
that he had realized his terrible mis-
take. 1t Is entirely improbable that he
will be able to restore anything like
the statu quo, or to obtain anything
Ike the same terms as were possible
last week. No one here now knows
just what Gen. Otis intends to impose
in the way Of terms. Secretary AIger

being on the ground, having proved
his fitness, was in a better position to
deal with the situation than anyone

permission, therefore. to do anything,
he would be granted permission i'm

Should he ask for instructions on
any point" said Secretary Alger, che
would be told to exercise his own dis

In this view of the case 1t will be
seen that no one here can tell how Gen.
Otis will act toward Aguinaldo's ap-
plication. But the opinion is express

Hungarian government for indemnity on ac-
count Of the Hungarian strikers killed by
Sheriff Martins posse at Hazelton, Pa, Sept.

so much OF the evidence, produced upon
the trial of Sheriff Martin, as seemed to be
necessary to establish the facts br efy, and
then concludes with the following statement
of the principles by which the department
of state is bound:

Man Who Made Women Stand In q
Street Car Shot.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-Hugo Wo1fert
is lying at deaths door at the Flower
hospital because primarily he refused
woman. He was shot In the car by a.
prominent retired physician, Dr. Thom-
as Wildes. The latter is In the custody
of the police. The shooting took place
in Lexington avenue cable car. and
caused panic among the fifty passen-
gers.
Both men boarded the car below
Fortieth street. Wolfert carried sew
eral packages, which he piled up on the
seat beside him. A woman got on
later and found no unoccupied seat.
DR.. Wildes arose and offered his seat to
her. At the same time he looked di-
rectly at Wolfert and told him he was
not a gentleman or he certainly would
not hog two seats while ladies have
to stand''
According to the police Wo1fert made
an insulting reply. Dr.. Wilds proceed
ed to tell Wolfert in plain language
what he thought of him, when Wolfert
jumped to his feet and struck at him.
DR.. Wildes Immediately drew a revol-
against Wolfert's breast fired.
Wolfert sank back into his seat with
a groan, blood oozing from the wound
and saturating his clothing Dr. Wildes
calmly pocketed his weapon, and then,
buttoning his coat, awaited the arrival
of the police.
Men and women rushed wildly from
the moving car, but fortunately none
were injured, as the conductor, seeing
what had happened, had signaled to
the gripman to stop the car, which was
running slowly. At a late hour tonight
Wolfert was still conscious, but the
physicians III attendance would not
hazard an opinion as to his chance of
recovery.
DR.. WiIdes bears an excellent reputa-
ton In the neighborhood where he
lives. At the police station he said he
had shot Wolfert in self-defense.
