from Fort Sill, Oklahoma Territory:
1T is now about z o'clock, and we
have just returned from an afternoon
hunt about two miles from this post.
We killed fifty quail and a wild turkey
and are feeling somewhat fatieued. as
some of the grounds are hard to hunt
upon on account of the weeds. grass.
and briars being so densely thick. why
the grass in places is higher than my
head, and so thick on the ground that
we can scarcely get through it. You
ought to be here to see the Indians.
They are thick all around us, and on
Saturday we found several Indian
graves along Cash creek. The graves
had wood piled upon them and near
them all the belongings of the deceased
are buried-hour, potaties. apples and
everything Even the horse and dogs
are killed and buried. and il the dead
person leaves a photograph the face is
scratched so it viii not be known. This
is done except in the case OF a chief.

Martinelli, the papal delegate. will par
ticipate at services to be held at St.
Patricks Roman Catholic Church. in
this city, at midnight on December 81,
to consecrate the new century to God.
A year ago the pope gave a special per-
mission, with a view to wide exercise
of the privilege. to sing a solemn mass
at midnight of December 81, of last
year, to cOnsecrate the closing year Of
the century. and to repeat it en- Decem-
Der 81 next at the same hour for con-
secrating the entire new century. The
ceremony, like that Of a year ago. is
expected TO be an unusually brilliant
one. and most Of the bishops through
out the country probably will hold sim
liar solemn services.

Shipping Subsidy Bill May
Come Up Tomorrow
WILL BEGIN IMPORTANT WORK
Bill to Reduce War Revenue Take
Has Been Completed Practically ="
by Majority

Washington. Dec. s.-The senate was
called to order az - o'clock today, but
beyond the reading OF the presidents
message transacted no business. AZ
ter the announcement of the death dur
ing the recess Of Senators Davis and
Gear the message was read and the
senate Tned The death an
nouncements were preceded by the
ceremony Of swearing in the new mem
bers. who this year are Mr.. Dolliver,
who has been appointed to succeed
Senator Gear, and Mr.. Dillingham;, who
takes the place formerly occupied by
Senator Ross. Of Vermont, and the ap-
pointment of the usual committees to
wait upon the president and the house
of representatives.
Mr.. Frye expects to get up the ship
ping subsidy bill tomorrow, and II not
on that day. then on Wednesday, and
in doing this to have the Spooner
Philippine bill displaced. This Will be
the beginning Of the important work
OF the session. and upon the success or
failure OF the scheme may depend much
Of the future course of proceedings for
the entire session. In order to ac-
complish this result II will be neces-
aary first to get the consent OF the Re-
publican committee on order Of busi-
ness. and to this end meeting Of that
committee will be held this afternoon.
AIr. Frye said today that he already
had conferred with a majority OF the
members OF that committee and that he
felt assured he would have no difi-
Guilty In securing their assent to the
proposed change.
Thus far there has been no consulta-
tion with Democratic senator's, but the
friends Of the shipping bill do not look
for factious opposition to the taking
up Of the bill from that source. A mo-
tion to take up the measure is not de-
batable under the senate rules, and
they are confident Of a majority on a
vote If a roll call should be demanded.
It Is probable that a friendly arrange
ment will be made with Senator Nor
gan. who has the Nicaragua bill in
charge, that bill being on the calendar
as q special order for the 10th inst.
There Is some talk of an effort during
the week to get up the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty in executive session. but
there IS as yet no definite program to
this end. A movement Is on foot now
to secure the assent Of the committee
on foreign relations to the. abandon
ment Of the Davis amendment TO the
treaty for the fortilcation of the pro-
posed canal.
1he usual custom of adiourning over
from Thursday until the following
Monday during the first weeks OF the
session probably will be departed from
this session. That is the desire OF the
/ Republican leaders. and they say there
probably viii be no such adjournment
this week
The leaders of the house are prepar-
4 ing TO press with great vigOr the i'm
portant business of the short session.
] Already considerable preliminary COM
mittee work has been done on the inn
pOrtant measures-the bill for the re-
duction of the war revenue taxes, the
army reorganization bill, the river and
harbor bill aud several Of the appro-

priation for the purpose Of bulkheading

mated that the cost Of this work would

Storm Havoc In Texas.

The city of Galveston has been de-
>troyed, dozen or more cities and
c" yns in Texas wrecked and thousands
Of lives lost by the hurricane and tidal
wave which swept the gulf coast of
Texas Saturday tight. Owing to the
wires being down and communication
being very difficult, because of the
vast flood. details of the terrible disas-
ter are meagre. The destruction of
life and property, however, seems to
have been greater than that of any
other food or storm disaster in this
Country since the Johnstown flood in
June, 1889, when 10000 people perish
ed. The fastest a0vices from Dallas,
Houston and other points in Texas
show that the following towns were
damaged, Galveston. 10000 lives were
lost; Alvin, 7 lives lost; Sabine Pass.
BrOoshire, Seabrooka, II lives lost:
Houston, life lost Colum bia, Belasco
and Smithville.
The storm is described as thu worst
that ever visited Texas, aud the full
extent Of the calamity remains to he
told. Much suffering is certain to fol
low, thousands of people having lost
homes ana contents.
