this resolution RAISED some opposition.
Burke and Tucker. both OF South Car
olina, raised plausible objections
against the proposed action. but the
arguments Of Roger Sherman Of Con-
necticut and Boudlnot prevailed, and
the resolution was passed by a large
majority.
As the federalisIs had only a small
majority in this congress. this meant
that the anti-rederalists Joined hands
with them. No opposition was en-
countered in the senate. and President

After this the presidents appointed

It was not, therefore, until 1853 that,

Allen inquired of Mr.. Cullom. in charge Of
the measure, IN what order the remaining
appropriation bills were to be considered.
Mr.. Culiom replied that the agricultural
appropriation was next to be taken up.
Is there any purpose, inquired Mr..
Allen, to bring UP the army bill before the
other appropriation bills are disposed off?
Mr.. Cullom replied that he was not aware
the army appropriation bill had been passed
by the House.
Mr. Allen said it was rumored about the
chamber that the army bill was TO be called
up on Monday or Tuesday next. Discussion
on that bill would continue Until the end of
the session. This would cause the other
appropriation bills to fail and make neces-
saIy an extra session. Il ask Z" said he, If
there is any intention of the kind?"
Mr.. Cullom said he knew little or nothing
concerning the army bill, and that it was
his intention to proceed next week with APP
preparation bills.
What do mean by the army bill?" in
quired Mr.. Chandler.
Il mean" replied Mr.. Allen, 1.-THE army
reorganization bill"
Mr.. Cullom said the appropriation COM
mlttee had nothing to do with that BILL
That may be true" replied Mr.. Allen,
but there is such an intermingling and
comingiing of purposes of that side of the
chamber that it is difficult to say who is re-
sponsible."
Mr. Allen said the committee proposed to
press the appropriation bills as rapidly as
possible. The legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was then passed
A bill TO amend an act entitled IAN act
to reimburse the Governors of States and
Territories for expenses incurred by them
in aiding the United States to raise and or
ganiZe and supply and equip the volunteer
army of the United States in existing war
with Spain, was passed. The Senate, at
6:40 D. m, adjourned.

FAIR AND COLD.
from First Page.)

Pittsburg river affairs been so critical as it
is just now. After three days of the coolest
weather ever known III this section of the
country. the rivers are frozen as tight as
mIllrace, and the ice is growing thicker
every hour. OF the big lows that were
started south on the rise last week many
are stranded helplessly at dangerous points
along the Ohio, several have lost parts of
their lows and are aground, while one, the
Fred Wilson, is lying in eight feet of water.
Altogether there are about 5000 900 bushels
of coal affoat between PittSburg and Louis
vile. 10 these conditions add the fact of
an almost unprecedented accumulation of
snow in the watersheds of the Monongahela
and Allegheny and it becomes apparent
that the inevitable breakup in the rivers
is to be feared. River men are fearful of a
flood that will do great damage along the
rivers. Twenty years ago a similar state of
affairs resulted disastrOusly number of
vessels were wrecked and much coal was
lost At that time d record for low temper
allure (12 degreeS) was established, but that
record has been smashed with all others for
perSiStently low temperature. Both rivers
are frozen over from Pittsburg to the head
waters, Notwithstanding the constant eff
forts of pool boats to keep open channel.
1T is hardly possible that the snow and ice
will be able to pass off without extraordi-
nary results.
Ten degrees below zero was the weather
bureau record to-day. This was ten degrees
above yesterdays lowest figures, but the
government officials held out very little hope
for further relief for the present, as North
western reports indicated colder weather.
An almost impenetrable fog hangs over the
city and many accidents by collision have
occurred, but so far none have been of
serious nature 1t is the darkest day in
many years.
Dispatches from surrounding towns re-
port two persons frozen to death. Their
names are William BARLEY, aged seventy,
and a child of Albert Franklin, frozen to
death while in bed with it's parents. At
Franklin the thermometer registered 30 be-
low, and at East Sandy, Pa, SO below.

FRANKLIN's TOLERANCE.
The Philosopher Was Always Ready
to Serve His sectarian Friends.

One usually thinks of Franklin as any
thing but a religious man, and religious IN
the orthodox conventional sense he certain
ly was not. Yet he was believer IN God
and immortality and the efficacy of good
works. His close personal friends were,
many of them, devout Christians. In the
chapter on "Franklins Religion" in his
''Many-sded Franklin series, in the Feb
ruary Century, Mr.. Paul l.. Ford says;
Franklin had that rarest kind Of toier-
ance which tolerates the opinions of others,
and though he laughingly asserted that
Orthodoxy is my dOXy, and heterodoxy IS
your doxy," his whole life was one contra
diction of the epigram. for the faith or lack
of faith of his circle of friends ranged from
the most doctrinal of ministers TO the most
radical of free-thinkers. For such rigid
Puritans the Rev. Drs. Cooper and Math-
er, of Boston, for the enthusiast Whiteheld,
for the Anglican bishop of st. Asaph, and
for the Abbes de la Roche and Morellet he
showed as much affection and respect as he
did for hume, Lord lie Dispenser, Thomas
Paine, and others closer in accord with his
own views. Nor was il ever q one-sided
regard No man in Pennsylvania exercised
such influence over the Quakers. Massa-
chusetts made him her agent IN Great Brit
ain, and he served her faithfully, even 10
the defending of her religious Intolerance
against English criticism. In France the
papal nuncio consulted him frequently and
followed his advice in the changes the rev.
dictionary war made possible or necessary
in the Catholic Church in America. ABB
solutely unsectarian as he was, Franklin
apparently was trusted by all sects, and
he seems never TO have refused a service
that he could render any one OF them.

HAD A TRIPLE LYYfNgCHING
GEORGIA MOB WREAKs TERRIBLE
VENGEANCE ON THREE NEGROES.
The Victims Took Part I'm One of the
Most Brutal Outrages in His
tory of the state.

ATLANTA Ca, Feb. IA telephone
message at midnight from Leesburg, in the
southern part of the State, says mob took
Cupid Redding and unknown negroes from
the jail there late tonight and lynched
them. The message did not say where the
mob had come from, but was to the effect
that they were apparently we'll organized
and on reaching the Jail demanded the
keys. They were delivered after short
parley with the sheriff, and the mob en-
tered the Jail. The negroes were secured,
and, according to the telephone advices, the
mob started for the woods with them.
Governor Gambler tonight ordered a COM
pany Of the State militia from Albany to
Leesburg to prevent if possible, the lynch
ing of negro at the latter place. II was
reported TO the Governor by the sheriff Of
Lee county that a party of lynchers would
take the regular night train at Smithville
and come to Leesburg for the purpose of
lynching the negro. The Governor was not
informed of the negros name, but was told
that he had been arrested and jailed at
Leesburg during the afternoon.
The two were concerned in the outrage or
Mrs. MarOney, which was one of the most
atrociOuS crimes of the century In De-
cember the house of John Maroney, a school
teacher, was entered by Cupid Redding and
two companions. The leader of the black
trio ordered Mrs. Maroney to tie her hus-
bands hands behind his back, after which
they bound him TO a bed. The negroes then
ransacked the house and having completed
this part of their work, Redding outraged
Mrs. Maroney in sight of her helpless and
Infatuated husband. The negroes escaped,
and although the State has offered heavy
rewards the negro was not captured until
this afternoons His two accomplices how
ever, whose names are unknown, were
rested ten days ago. Who the other three
negroes are is not known. Leesburg has no
night operator and information by telegraph
is unohtainable.

NEEDLES In HER BODY.
Seven Are Extracted from the Aldo
men of Miss PaOIa MOser.

CHICAGO, Feb. n.-Miss Paola Moser,
dressmaker, 2S49 Queen street, recently ap
piled to the South-side Dispensary, which
is connected with the Northwestern Univer-
sity Medical School, for treatment. She told
the doctors she was full Of needles and want
ed them removed, as they were causing her
much discomfort. She said three years ago
she fell over a chair in such a manner that
some needles which she carried in her apron
penetrated her abdomen The surgeons
were inclined to doubt her story but they
sent her to an X-ray laboratory for a ska
graph. The picture showed that she had
seven needles in the anterior wall of her
abdomen. and some of the needles appeared
to be broken. The patient was anaesthe-
tized and DR.. Fenger made two large Incl
sions and found the needles in the loca-
ton indicated by the X-ray picture.

HEALTH CONDITIONS.
Secretary Ayers Response to Senate
Resolution of Inquiry.

Resolution OF inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Feb. u.-In response to
a resolution of inquiry, the secretary of
war to-day sent to the Senate statement
from the surgeon general in regard to the
health condition of the troops in the Philip
pines. He says that the sickness in some
regiments has been as high as II per cent,
but that it is believed that the average has
seldom exceeded 10 per cent. He also says
that climatic conditions do not appear so
far to have been attended with unusual
mortality. He adds that malarial diseases
have caused no deaths and gives the total
death rate as shown by the returns for
July, August, September and October as
equal to 9.36 per thousand, which is only
slightly in excess of the rate in garrisons
In the United States in time of peace. More
than half the deaths were caused by
typhoid
A peculiar fact is noted as follows: en-
received at Cavite and Manila give a small
er rate of admissions than is ordinarily
found among United States troops in their
home garrisons and the death rate from
accidents and injuries is less than in these
garrisons Notwithstanding the fatal ending
of the 1T cases of battle casualties"
The report only covers the time up TO the
end of October, but the surgeon general
says that smallpox has appeared since that
time in some regiments and that the death
rate has been relatively higher from this
cause. The surgeon general says there is
no accurate Data to when the sickly sea-
son usually begins in the Philippines, but
more fevers to the spring months than to
other seasons.

LIKE A HUGE ICEBERG.
Steamer Fuerst Bismarck Arrives Cow
cred with Frozen Spray.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Hamburg
American line steamer Fuerst Bismarck ar
rived to-day from Genoa after the longest
passage the steamer ever made across the
Atlantic, and one of the toughest in the ex-
perience of her officers. The voyage from
Gibraltar to New York was made in twelve
days and seven hours. Terrific gales were
encountered from Feb to I, enormous seas
frequently sweeping over the vessel, smash
ing doors and other woodwork. Several
Ventilators were swept overheard and two
boats were carried away. On Feb. Otto
Lohze, a sailor, was washed overheard and
lost. For five days the great steamer rolled
violently and labored heavily, until the
sengers i'll. There was little rest and sleep
on board. On approaching the coast in
tensely cold weather was met, and the
spray froze as it fell covering the hull,
boats, bridges and rigging far up the masts
with a heavy coating of ice. The Fuerst
Bismarck appeared like a veTitable iceberg.
The outer gangways were so laden with ice
ice cave, with heavy icicles hanging from
the decks above. The bulwarks and decks
were swelled to enormous proportions, while
the bridges were one solid mass. The crew
had to break the ice from the decks and
gangwayS In order to land the passengers.
The White Star steamer Germanic Capt.
McKinsley which left Liverpool Feb. l, ar
rived to-day after a most tempestuous and
stormy voyage From the time of leaving
Queenstown until arrival. the Germanic en-
countered a succession of heavy gales and
high seas. The passengers suffered much
from the inclemency of the weather but
the Germanic sustained no serious damage.

OBITUARY..
Mark Wentworth Durham, n Noted
Importer and Breeder of Horses.

Dunham owner of the famous Oakland
farm, at Wayne, ILL.,, and the most extern
sive breeder of pure bred horses in the
world, died at Mercy Hospital to-day from
complication of diseases.
Mr. Durham was born in 1912. His life
was a remarkable one. Oaklawn, his IDEAL
home, is known to all Chicagoans who deal
in horses and to thousands of others as
the most perfect spot for a lover and breed
er Of animals. For many years it was the
custom of a large number of prominent
men and women to go to Oaklawn once a
year in coaches and there to be entertained
by Mr.. Durham for day In many things
Mr.. Durham was one of the most remarka-
BILE men of his time. His achievements as
an importer and breeder of horses have no
parallel. A few incidents may be given as
illustrating his audacity of conception and
force of action. In 1885 his agents were in
France; horses to the value of $3.50 900 had
been bought; continental war was in the
air; Italy, Austria and Germany, in quick
succession, placed an embargo on the eX-
pOrtation of horses; any moment France
was likely to follow; no boat could be had
for instant shipment. The facts were cabled
to Durham, and within forty-eight hours
the protest of the United States govern
ment and of the Governors of eleven States
was cabled, with a commission from each
appointing Dunham's agent special commits
sioner. Under this tremendous fusillade the
minister Of war hesitated and the embargo
was stayed
1t was thirty years ago that Mr. Durham
began with the importation of PercherOn
horses from France. His operations as a
breeder and importer assumed gigantic pro-
portions. He subsequently took up the i'm
portation of the French coach horses and
collected in France lot of males and stall
lions that as a whole, is conceded to be
superior to any similar collection in France
He won with his horses more champion
prizes in the show ring than any other
breeder has ever won in the history of the
ShOWVard in America

No News from the Pavonia.

BOSTON, Feb. 1.-THE Cunard steam
ship Company has received no additional
news to-day from the missing steamer Pa
vonia, reported last night from Fayal as
disabled off the Azores Feb. .. The entire
passenger list amounted to only forty
seven, an unusually small number. Nine
were first cabin.
HULL, Feb. ia telegram from Captain
Whitton, of the Colorado, has been received
here saying that he towed the Pavonia to
a point within 300 miles of the Azores. when
the tow rope fouled the propeller and the
vessels We're thus parted When they lost
the Pavonia, the dispatch says, she was in
no immediate danger, was in the track of
shipping and has probably been picked up
andNis being towed by another vessel. The
Colorado suffered severely in the recent
storm. All her boats were swept away, her
decks burst and she is leaking badly. She
now has two and half feet of water in her
after hold.
