tiou Thanking SchIcy.

The SchIey case came officially before
the United States Senate today in the
form Of resolution offered by the mi
nority leader. Senator Jones of Arkansas,
Offering the thanks OF Congress and the
American people 70 the victor Of Santiago
The resolution. which was referred to the
Committee On Naval Affairs is as follows:
Resolved. by the Senate and House
Of Representative of the United States
OF America n Congress assembled,
That the thanks Of Congress and the
american people are hereby rendered
10 Rear admiral Winfield Scott SChley
and the officers and men under his
command for highly distinguished con-
duct IN conflict with the enemy as dis
played by them in the destruction Of
the Spanish feet eff the Harbor OF
Santiago de Cuba July 5, 1895
Resolved. That the President OF the
United States should be requested TO
cause this resolution to be eommuRi-
Gated TO Rear Admiral SchIey, and,
through him, to the officers and men
under his command
It Is not believed that the Republicans
Of the committee, ali of whom are Ad-
ministration men and in close accord with
the Navy Department, will take any ac-
be compelled 10 do so. " vhich is an un-
likely thing they would either report IN
favorabIy or amend 1t so as to include
first the name of Rear Admiral Sampson.
Should the committee remain IN posses
sion OF the resolution for an unreasonable
length Of time without taking action upon
IL II would ne possible for Senator Jones
TO move that the Senate proceed to its
consideration Under these circumstances
it is believed that even the Republican
friends of SchIey would vote against the
motion en- the ground that it would be
discourtesy TO the committee. Such -ac-
ton would make 1t a party question
which IS just what Admiral sehIey's
friends in and out Of Congress desire to
avoid if possible.

FAVORABLE REPORT
Tn KNOX CASE.
ANTITRUST CHARGES IGNORED.
Senate judiciary Committee Holds
the Representations Made are
Too General to Merit Fur
ther Consideration.

The Senate Committee on Judiciary has
decided to ignore the charges fled against
Attorney General Knox by the Anti Trust
League and 20 allow its former unanimous
recommendation for his confirmation to
stand as the sense OF the committee.
The nomination was today favorabIy re-
ported to the Senate for the second time
by the committee
Three-Hour Meeting.
This action followed three-hour meet
ing this morning. when the great mass Of
TESTIMONY. prepared by the Antitrust
League and submitted on Saturday was
carefully gone over and considered.
In the opinion of the committee the evf-
dence submitted carried 10 weight and
could not be used to hold back the nemi-
nation
Unanimous Confirmation Desired.
It was decided not to withdraw the
nomination and by unanimous vote it
was agreed to report the matter fayorably.
This was done so as not to cause split
in tie vote in the Senate, when the nomi-
nation comes up It is probable that the
nomination Will be confirmed today or
tomorrow.
Those present at the meeting were sena-
tors Hoar, PIatt of Connecticut, Clark of
Wyoming, Spooner, Fairbanks, and Simon,
all Republicans, and Bacon and Pettus,
Democrats. Senator Teller was absent.
Leagues Request Denied.
Representatives of the league were be-
fore the committee this morning and af-
ter fling some additional papers asked
that action on the nomination be deferred
four days more in order to gather more
evidence. As that was just sufficient time
to prevent action by the Senate until after
the holidays the committee declined to
grant the request.

David Horn,

Mr.. David Horn entered the higher
life last Sunday morning, at the age of
70 years, after an Illness Of about six
weeks, although he had been In failing
health for number of years. During
these last few weeks his suffering was
intense, but he bore 1t all with patience
born of firm trust In God. In early
life he became a Christian and united
with the Christian church of this town,
of which he was an active member until
1t was discontinued.
He had been a resident of Skowhegan
for many years, having great interest in
all of the affairs of the town and will be
greatly missed by the townspeople, as
he was familiar figure upon the streets.
He leaves wife, son, A. D. Horn of
Pennington, and an adopted daughter,
Mrs. Vira Wyman, of Maiden, Mass,
besides more distant relatives and many
| friends to mourn their loss.
The funeral was held from his late
home on West Front street, Tuesday at
10 a. M, Rev. Daniel Onstott, pastor of
the Methodist church, officiating. A
mixed quartette furnished beautiful and
tender selections. The floral tributes
were very pretty, consisting of potted
plants and cut flowers.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
bereaved relatives In their atflctlon. He
was laid to rest in the family lot in
Mount Rest cemetery, Athens.
