PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
Senate Passes the Pension Bil-House
Still on Army Reorganization.

Washington, Jan. g. - The senate
listened yesterday to a speech by Platt
of New York in favcr of ratification of
the Paris treaty. 4 resolution was Of
fered by Sullivan Of Mississippi declar-
ing that the ratification of the rrsaty
should not commit the government to A
colonial policy The pension appropria-
ton bill was passed after some debate.
Late in the afternoon eulogieS were
pronounced on the late Representative
Cooke, OF Illinois.
The opposition to the army reorgani-
zation bill on the Republican side of the
house has become so strong that yes
terday Chairman Hull decided that il
would be wise, in order to secure its
passage, TO abandon the idea of provid-
ing directly for regular army of 100000
men. He announced on the floor that
the committee would offer amendments
to reduce the number OF enlisted men
to about &C. 600. but lodge in the presi-
dents discretion the authority TO in
crease the army to a maximum of 100,-
OO0 These amenGme nt9 have been pre-
pared.
How far this proposed modification
will allay the opposition remains to be
seen. johnson of Indiana declared that
the purpose of the bill was to have an
army of 1o0,00 either by direct authori-
ty or the exercise of the presidents
discretion. and he declared his purpose
to fight to the bitter end the machinery
which was being forged tor colonial
system. Henderson of Iowa declared
his belief in the unwisdo-n of annexinS
the Philippines. johnson said the vital
mistake was made when the president
instructed the peace commissioners to
demand the cession of the Philippines.

LULLED TO a LAST SLEEP.
After Sending Message TO His Wife and
Children-Other Sad Cases

Telling them to tell his wife and chill
dren back in Chicago how he died. he
lay down in the snow and was soon
lulled into a last sleep by the deadly
frost. He was jeweler by trade. Chas.
Khron wanted to lie down and die
when the trip was almost at an end.
His comrades kept him moving in spite
of the pain of his badly frozen feet,
and at last got him into Valdez. His
toes were so badly frozen that they
fell off when his boots were cut away.
Blood poisoning set in soon after and in
ten days the miners buried him in a
rough grave. He was a member of the
Manhattan Mining company. of New
York. German, and leaves a widow
and family in that city.
The third man of the party TO lose
his life was miner named Henderson
from some small town in Wisconsin.
He started out with the party, but was
frozen before they reached the summit
Of the glacier He decided that his
only hope was to turn hack. Son after
he left the party a terrible blizzard
swept over the glacier, oblitsratirg all
trails and making travel impossible.
He probably lost his way then and
perished. At any rate he never reached
Twelve Mile camp. the only place of
refuge for miles around.
George PoaIowitz, of the Manhattan
Mining company, of New York, was the
fourth member to he badly frozen. He
returned on the Cottage City in charge
OF DR.. Lewis. of Chicago. He will lose
the greater part of both feet and is in
danger Of losing his life from blood
poisoning. He would not let DR.. Lewis
amputate his feet in the north. He
said: 1t was bitter cold and for four
days we wandered about the glacier
trying to find our way down. We had
little food The other four members of
the Manhattan company were waiting
on short rations at the foot of the lake.
don't know what will become of them
now that Khron is dead and am here
IN almost as bad a fix. / don't want
my wife to know Of my condition. so 1
will not tell you my New York ad-
dress"
George Sweeney. also of New York
was blacksmith at Valdez for a long
time. He started across the glacier
early in the winter. drawing a heavy
sled. The details of his death are un-
known. for he was alone. He never
reached the other side. The miners who
arrived on the Cottage City say that
many others perished like Sweeney
They are unable to give names The
men starting out in pairs or singly were
never heard Of again.

THE DOCTOR IN WAR.
Stands the Test of Courage When
ever Under Fire.

ever 1hdeF ire.
The London Lancet has an article
about the bravery of surgeons under
fire. The Lancet's article is about Brit
ish surgeons. 1t applies in so far as its
anecdotes 60 to them, but in its general
terms and its comments it applies to
all. We have never read of surgeon
quailing under fire or deserting his post
in a panic, and what is a great deal
more we have never heard of a sur
geon quailing before a hospital or de-
serting his post, though yellow fever,
smallpox, typhus or cholera threatened
his life and surrounded him with its
horrors. There are many well authen-
ticated stories of the courage and devo-
tion of our army doctors in the field and
hospital The latter is the much more
trying to courage and fidelity.
The excitement of battle goes far to
keep a man at bis work, even should he
be disinclined for it. The long dreary
watches of the hospital, the hard and
thankless round of duty, the hourly
scenes of horror and possibly the dis
couraging absence of proper assistance
and support from the administration of
the army are what try doctors nerve
and test his fortitude and patriotism.
We do not know why they stand the
test so well-better apparently. on an
average, than those whose trade it is
supposed to be to face death and danger.
But the fact remains that they do, all
honor to them San Francisco Report.

Dete for the Opening Fixed-Matters to

Madrid, Jan. 2S.-The reopening of
the cortes is fixed for Feb. 20. The
government will introduce a bill for
the payment of indemnity to Span
iards who suffered through the ces-
sion of the Philippines to the
United States. The members of
the opposition purpose to raise a
debate on the wars in Cuba and the
Philippines. 1t is believed the ses-
sion will be short. Sagasta will then
submit to the queen regent the ques-
tion of confidence in the government.
An official gazette announces that
the Spanish troops in the Philippines
who are to be repatriated at the ex-
pense of Spain only number 1000.
The remainder will be repatriated at
the expense of the United States.

a hospital has been established at
Twelve Mile Camp, on the other side
Of the glacier. and fifteen men are suf-
fering there from the same cause. All
were frozen trying to cross the glacier.
but managed to get back into camp.
The freezing of the Evjens. father and
son. is particularly sad They started
for Valdez, but on getting well toward
the summit of the glacier found their
feet freezing.
Sons Sacrifice for His Father.
Both started back. The son gave his
father his own extra wrapping for his
feet, and as q result froze both of his
own legs in few minutes and was un-
able to proceed. He bade his father
goodbye and compelled him to go on
without him. Then the boy lay down
in the snow TO die. His body will prob
ably never be recovered. The father
reached Twelve Mile Camp very badly
frozen and is not expected to live. Smith
and Khron were members of the same
party. in company with George Poal-
owitz. Sylvester Greg and several 9TH
ers. They started across the glacier
early in December Smith was the first
to freeze his feet. After they had crossed
the summit and were going down the
long stretch toward Valdez his strength
began to fail him. At last he could
keep up no longer. Calling his compan-
ions around him he told them he was
doomed even if they got him into camp.
and that they must try and save them
