HOUSE WILL BE BUSY.
Little Chance For Anything Except
Annronriation Bills.

Washington, Feb 12.-The house will
| have little or no time during the remain
ing three weeks of the session to devote
to anything except appropriation bills
Yet there are a number OF measures of
great Importance which will press for
Consideration. Much pressure is being
| brought upon the committee on rules cor
another DAY for the passage of public
building bills, to which the house last
week devoted two days in committee of
the hole, and the request Will probably
be acceded TO, but hardly during the COM
ing week. The announcement of Chairman
Cannon that there was no time to con-
slider the steamship subsidy bill and the
Nicaragua canal bill settles the fate OF
the former
The friends of the latter are to try a
tank movement by attempting to attach
the canal bill TO the sundry civil bill now
under consideration. AS it will be the
only chance the bill viii have at this SEES
sion. its supporters Will make deSper-
ate fight. Time must be given for the
consideration of the bill for the govern
ment of Hawaii, but it also, for the pres
ent must give way to the appropriation
bills
Five of the great annual budgets still
remain ENACTED upon by the house, and
as they are the most important of the APP
preparation bills, il will require practically
all the remainder OF the session TO put
them through and consider the confer
ence reports upon the other appropriation
bills as they are brought in. This will
undoubtedly prove TO be the case if the
opposition shows a disposition 10 debate
the various propositions as they are
brought into the arena, and this seems al
together likely. During the earlier part
Of the session the opposition was passive
but it seems to have been aroused by the
debate on the army reorganization bill

quite aggressive. The threat of an extra
session appears to hold no terrors for the
Democrats and the Populists; indeed
some of them would apparently welcome

Carried Out Into Lake Michigan
Upon the Ice.
SIX ARE STILL MISSING
TEN RESCUED BY FORT SHERI-
.e DAN TROOPS.
Among Those Probably Lost Are a
Chicago Attorney, His Nephew
and Niece-Ice Broke and Carried
Them Out Into the Lake-Change
of Wind the Cause.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Sixteen skaters
living in the suburbs of Rogers park
and Lake Forest, were carried out in
to Lake Michigan on ice foes today.
Ten of them were rescued and during
the entire evening searching parties
made fruitless efforts to secure some
trace of the missing six
The missing are:
Attorney Elmer d. Brothers. en-
ployed in the office of Attorney Luther
Latin Mills.
Miss Arel Manney, II years of age,
niece of Attorney Brothers.
Chanucey Manney, nephew of At
torney Brothers.
George Mallory, student at Lake
Forest university, home in Pontiac,
Ills.
Guy Carbon, student at Lake Forest
university. home in st. Anne. Ills.
Arthur Fletcher, Ravenswood Park.
All of those who were rescued were
carried out on the ice off Lake Forest
and two of the number who ventured
on the frozen lake there are supposed
to have been drowned. The remaining
three of the sixteen were carried away
on foe off Rogers Park and the
Chicago Life Saving crew spent the
night in searching for them.
Most of the rescued were students
at Lake Forest academy.
Attorney Brothers, who is a promi-
nent amateur photographer, had gone
out onto the ice, accompanied by his
niece and nephew, to take some pee
lures of the shore. He had taken sew
eral shots" when suddenly, half a
mile to the north, the ice broke. The
shore, upon which the unfortunate
party were, caused a rapid disintegra-
ton. Before Mr.. Brothers realized his
position, escape was impossible.
At dusk, Mrs. Brothers, alarmed at
the absence of her husband, reported
to the police. Fully mile out from
shore faint flashes of light could be
seen Between the shore and the points
where the flashes were distinguishable,
f1oated immense cakes of ice. The
police officers tried repeatedly to find
an opening in the floating mass through
which a boat might pass, but without
success. Finally telephone calls for
aid were sent to this city. Several life
boats were loaded upon trains and
started to the rescue.
Tugs were unable to make the slight
est impression upon the pack and
after several fruitless efforts this mode
of rescue was abandoned.
Guy Carron and George Mallory had
started to walk to Waukegan on the
ice about noon. They had not passed
from sight when the change of wind
caused the ice field upon which they
were to break from its mornings. They
had not reached Waukegan at mid
night and all hope of saving them has
been abandoned.
The ten boys rescued were skating
on the smooth shore ice when it broke
away. Alarm was given at Fort
Sheridan and a detachment of the
Third cavalry quickly manned the
government life boat. After a desper-
ate struggle with floating ice, they sue
ceeded in reaching the foes and trans
ferred the skaters safely.

the government, the deficiencies and the
possibility of bond issue is likely to
be Thoroughly ventilated. As an unem-
barraSsed proposition, the Nicaragua
canal bill would doubtless command 4
very strong majority in the house. but
with the power of the appropriations COM
mittee and the threat of bond issue
thrown in the balance against it, and the
likelihood that to get a direct vote upOn
it will require a reversal of the ruling OF
the chair. it is exceedingly doubtful
whether il can carry.
AS soon as the Sundry civil bill is out
of the way. the Qualifications bill will fol-
low and the other three appropriation
bills in the following order: Naval, army
and general deficiency. Both the naval
and army bills in view of the existing sit
uation will furnish texts for the discus
sion of our future policy and may be
prolific of long struggles. Altogether, it
would seem unless the opposition re-
sumes a passive attitude. that the house
will have its hands full for the remainder
of the session in getting through the ap-
DrODriatiOn bills

SOLDIERS ALL RIGHT.
Tribute to Brave Men Who Won the
Battles.


In conclusion, the report says:
The result of the Santiago. campaign
was the complete realization of the
several objects contemplated. The cap
ture of the city with its Notifications
and munitions of war, togethe- with
immense supplies CT food stuffs and am
munition (the former estimated by Cen
eral Wood az 1900, coo ratiOns); the sur
render Of the entire province OF Santi-
ago de Cuba. with all the troops gar
risoning the same, amounting, as al
ready stated, to between $4,000 and "a
600; the destruction by the navy of Ad-
miral Cerveras fleet, after its departure
from the haybor and the general demon
alization of the Spanish forces and the
discontinue of the Spanish government
and people, leading almost Immediately
to overtures for peace by Spain. All
this was accomplished without the loss
of a. prisoner, a gun or a color, and with
list of casualties aggregating in killed
less than $50 and in wounded less than
l, 400-losses which, in, comparison with
results, are less than ever heretofore
incurred in modern warfare"
It should be added also that the total
deaths in battle, from wounds and dis
ease from the beginning to the ending
of the episode. aggregated less than
3,000-only a fraction over 4 per cent.
The report closes thus:
I'm concluding its labors it is with
much pleasure that the commission re-
ports that. Notwithstanding the haste
with which the nation entered upon the
war with Spain, the resulting and al
most inevitable confusion in bureau and
camp, the many difficulties of arming,
assembling and transporting large
bodies of hitherto unframed men, the
carrying on of active operations in two
henispheres, the people of the United
States should ever be proud Of its SOL
diers, who, cooperating with its sailors,
in less than three months put an end
to Spanish colonial power, enfranchised
oppressed people, and taught the world
at large the strength and nobility of a
great republic

STEAMERS OVERDUE.
Several Atlantic Liners Delayed By
the Storms.

New York Feb. 12.-Last nights storm
was characterized more by the biting
wind that accompanied it than by the fall
OF snow. but although the snowfall was
not great, it served 10 delay many in
coming trains and consequently, the
mails.
The North and East rivers were block
AIDED with ice, the former being frozen
solidly across at the upper part of the
city. The Harlem river is frozen solid
north from the Harlem bridge.
AT a late hour today none of the big
liners had reached their docks. A strong
north wind was blowing during the day.
and this may have the effect of keeping
some OF them off their course. The list
of those due include the Cunarder Etru-
ria the Alsatia, AnchOria, Paris, La Bre-
