number Of United States soldiers who have
been killed or who have died of wounds in
the Philippine Islands and the number who

pared with white troops.
The House committee on labor has pro-
ceeded with the hearings on the bill to ex-
tend the eight-hour law to all government

PASSED THE ARMY BILL.
II Was Only Slightly Modified by tn,
Hnuse.

The House of Representatives passed The
| army appropriation bill yesterday. As
passed the bill is only slightly modified
| from the form in which il came from the
committee. One of the last amendments
adopted opens the soldiers homes to the
officers and men of the volunteer and regu-
lar armies incapacitated by service during
or since the Spanish war The chief incl
dent Of yesterdays debate was a defense
Of the Wan Department against the charge
of reckless extravaganza In the fitting up
Of the transport Sumner, made by Mr..
briggs of New York Mr.. Par
ker (N-J) produced the itemized expenses
furnished by the War Department TO show
| that there had been no extravaganza.
Mr.. McRea (Ark) moved to strike from
the provision for the manufacture or pur-
chase of small arm ammunition the words
or purchase" He declared that the gov
eminent had ample facility for the manu-
facture of ammunition
Mr.. Hull vigorously opposed the amend
ment 1t might be necessary to purchase
ammunition. and the hands Of the govern
ment should not be tied. He called atten-
ton to our helpless condition for lack of
ammunition at the opening of the Spanish
war, and said he favored the accumulation
OF munitions Of war.
Mr.. Underwood Ala.) favored the amend
ment He was opposed to placing dtscre.
ticnary power to purchase in the hands OF
the War Department. He was inclined To-
think II led to extravaganza and jobber,1
and called the attention OF the House tn
the facts ELECTED yesterday regarding the
transport Summer.
This reference to the Sumner aroused Mr.
Parker N.JD, who detailed the history
OF the vessel, which, he said had been
wildly distorted. He said the Sumner was
an old collier refitted, and produced
figures from the War Department to prove
that there was no undue extravaganza The
alleged solid silver service. which Mr..
briggs had said cost 5000. was plated
ware, and cost, all told. but fl,200. The
amendment was lost.
The provision of firing morning and eveD-
ing guns at state soldiers and sailors homes
went out on a point OF order, made by Mr..
McRae (Ark.).
This completed the bill. and the committee
then went back to several points tempo-
rarily passed over during the reading OF tho
measure.
An amendment was adopted changing tho
eligibility for admission to soldiers homes
so as to admit all volunteer and regular
soldiers tncapacitated since the outbreak of
the Spanish war.
An amendment was adopted TO give 10 Of
f1cers and men Of the volunteer army. who
did not receive extra pay when mustered
out, one months pay. II they served within
the United States and two months pay ic
they served beyond the limits of the United
States.
Without further amendment the bill was
passed.
The resolution unanimously reported from
committee on elections, No. 2 in the con-
tested election case of White against Bore-
ing. from the eleventh Kentucky district,
confirming Mr.. Boreing's title to his seat,
was adopted without division. Both the con.
testant and the contestee are republicans.
AT 4:25 pm the House adjourned.

1t IL Alleged That He Obtained Money
on Forged Pay Accounts.

Although the officials OF the War De-
partment are disinclined to discuss the case
of Capt. P. C. Deming. c. of s.. u. s. W. it
is admitted that his arrest at San Francisco
is merely preliminary to his trial by court.
martial for violations of the articles OF war
His troubles arise out of an escapade on
the Pacific coast while en- route to Manila
for assignment to duty. 1t is stated that
while he may have Incorporated gov-
eminent funds. the sum involved is less
than 81 600, and is amply secured by hfs
bond of $4,000. The gravest feature OF
his case is an allegation that he forged
the name Of his clerk to a pay account for
$3.50 and secured and spent the money.
General Shaftcr reported the matter to
the War Department, and was directed to
convene a court-martial for the trial OF
the officer.
Captain Deming belongs to a highly re,
spectacle family of Buffalo. and hitherto
has borne an unblemished reputation. He
entered the volunteer army at the outbreak
of the Spanish war, and up to this time hls
record has been excellent.

am not taking any of it in Kimberley. Not
only are the wretched animals reduced to
skin and bone, but there is a prevalent cpl
demic of influenza and cough among them
which forces me to abandon its use. 1t is,
however, daily served out to the soldiers,
as well as the people, though there are
cases of anthrax in the hospitals and an
outbreak of scurvy in many of the
doubts. There also broke out a peculiar
form of throat trouble, which may owe its
origin to this article of food.
There are many cases of extreme suf-
fering, which, although due to the Siege,
have reached a climax from constitutional
circumstances. There are ladies tonight in
Kimberley who are strapped to their bed

such cases, but they are exceptional, and

MAIL FROM ALASKA.

Arrival of Advices From St. Michael
Dated December 80.
A report has been received at the Post
Office Department from Chief Clerk KIM
ball. at St. Michael. Alaska. under date OF
December 30. The fact that this report
came through Is regarded as indicating
great improvement in the service, as here
tofore it was impossible to get mail from
that point after the first part of November.
The chief clerk reports that mails left st.
Michael three times from October TO De-
cember l and arrived three times up to
December 90. November l Mr.. Kimball
left st. Michael for Nome with about 800
letters for that place and twenty-five for
Golovtn bay, which is located beyond the
arctic circle. AS no provision had been
made for any mail service from Nome he
advertised to take all mail matter from
there to st. Michael. Owing to the fact
that number of private carriers had been
offering to carry out mail for from 81 to
81 letter he found 1t difficult to convince
the people that he would take letters for
regular rates of postage. However, he
carried away about 600 letters and nine reg
istered packages.
