In the first place the minority in the
church held meeting and voted to
ask Philip to remain, pledging him
their hearty support in all his plans
and methods. The evening paper, in
it's report of this meeting made the
most OF the personal remarks that were
made and served up the whole affair in
sensational items that were eagerly
read by every one in Milton.

Sill BY Thurston Creates One
For Nebraska
SALARY INT ONLY txpth4 ATTACHED


Senator Thurston's bill providing for
additional Judges in the districts Of
Nebraska and Minnesota was reported
from the committee on judiciary
Thursday, January 10. with an amend
ment providing that the senior circuit,
or the resident circuit Judge within
the district shall issue all neces.
sary orders for the division of busi-
ness and assignment Of cases for trial
in each Of the said districrs. The re-
port states that the committee pro-
vides for the appointment of an adj
ditional district Judge in each Of the
districts Of Minnesota and Nebraska
instead of the division Of these states
into separate districts, believing this
to be the most desirable legislation
under existing circumstances. Under
this arrangement the committee found
no necessity for increasing the num-
Der OF district attorneys, clerks and
other officers Of the court. The only
increase in expense will be the salary
of an additional Judge.
Representative Neville aud friehds
are encouraged by the absence of hem
orrhage the past two days and the
patients ability to take a slight
amount of nourishment. Although
still critically Ill it is believed that
Mr.. Neville will recover if no now
combinations arise. vi {

The general debate on the river and
harbor bill continued in the house
yesterday until o'clock when the
death Of Representative Clarke Of New
Hampshire was announced and the
house adjourned out Of respect to his
memory.
The features Of the session were the
speeches Of Mr.. Cushman Of Washing
ton and Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa. The
latter has been a persistent opponent
Of river and harbor bills for years and
he attacked the bill all along the line
in his usually vigorous fashion. Mr..
Cushman's speech was unique in many
particulars He was in favor Of river
and harbor appropriations and his
complaint was due to the fact that the
members Of the committee, according
to his ideas had located the bulk Of
the appropriations in their own states,
and had given scant consideration to
the needs Of other states, especially
the Seattle ship canal In his own state.
& The desk Of Representative Clarke,
Of New Hampshire, who died last
night, at his hcme, was shrouded in
black and covered with flowers when
the house adjourned. BS aa

CONGRESSIONAL CHAT.
Friday. January IL.

Considerable progress was made yes
terday by the senate with the army
reorganization bill, but the final vote
upon the measure seems to be as far
off as ever. Yesterdays proceedings
were characterized by several sharp
colloquys, some Of a decidedly per-.
sonal character. An appeal was pre-
scented by Mr.. Teller from more than
a,OOO persons in Manila urging the
government to, cease its operations
against the Filipinos. The appeal is
sensational in its statements and so
unusual in its form that Mr.. Hawley,
Of Connecticut made vigorous objec-
zion to its publication as q document.
He declared that It was a. reasonable
denunciatlon of the government and
an attack upon our soldiers.
Consideration was concluded of the
committee amendments to the army re-
organization bill and the senate took
up the amendments proposed by fndi-
vidual senator's. The amendments pro-
vidfng for the appointment of Genor-
ais j. Fl. Wilson and Fitzhugh Lee and
General SKATER to be major generals
Of the regular army and retired. pre-
eipitated an extended and, on the part
Of Mr.. Pettigrew, q bitter debate. The
amendment prevailed, however, de-
spite the opposition.
Mr.. Teller presented memorial
from 5000 Filipino and peaceful In
habitants" Of Manila. The memorial
was in the form of an appeal to the
congress Of the United States, and, as
