THE HOUSE..

Washington, February S.-This was prob- ably the last day to be devoted to private pension Legislation by the House of Repre- sentatives in this Congress. High water mark made in the Fifty-first Congress was almost reached today when 1S4 bills were passed against 197 passed at single ses- sion in the former Congress. A general pension bill was passed to restore to the pension rolls widows of soldiers who sub sequently married and became widowed or divorced. By the terms of the bill how ever it's benefits are limited to widows of soldiers who were married before the close of the rebellion and who are now depend ent upon their own labor for support.
 The Speaker laid before the House the following letter from Acting Secretary of State Hill:
 T have the honor to inform you of the receipt of a telegram from the American ambassador to Great Britain that His Maj esty's minister for foreign affairs laid be- fore the King the resolution adopted by the House of Representatives relative to the death of Queen Victoria and that by the Kings command Lord Lansdowne expresses the royal appreciation of that mark of re- spect and also of the additional respect shown by the House to the memory of the late Queen by it's immediate adjournment
 A bill was passed to amend the act calling the Mississippi river commission so as to require the meetings of the commission to be held at some city along the line of the river.
 At 5:45 D. m. the House adjourned

Intellectual Attempt Was Made to Secure an Agreeneat
 on Time for Vote PROTESTS WERE VIGOROUS Night Sessions of the Senate Have Been Abandoned Temporarily Re- publicans Say Democrats Will
 De Responsible for an
 Extra Session.

Washington February 8.-An ineffectual attempt was made In the Senate today to secure agreement upon a time for a final vote upon the shipping bill Vigorous protests were made by opponents of the measure against such any agreement even for date in the indefinite future. MT. Pritchard, Republican of North Carolina, spoke today in support of the shipping bill and then the naval appropriation bill was considered the rest of the day the shipping bill being laid aside informally The naval bill had not been acted on when the Senate adjourned.
 The night session of the Senate have been abandoned by the Republican majority for tonight and tomorrow night It is stated that they may again be held next week
 The Republicans say that if the Republi- majority are willing and determined to go ahead with the shipping bill, the minority must take the responsibility of forcing an extra session for the appropria- ton bills.
 Soon after the Senate convened today a resolution previously offered by Mr. Petit grew calling on the Secretary of War for
 
 to the conditions in the Philippines and for other papers relating to the Philippines were adopted.
 At the instance of MT. Frye of Maine consideration of the shipping bill was stunned. MT. Frye then made an appeal to the Senate that a time be fixed for a vote upon the pending measure: He was exceedingly desrous for vote. Personally he had more desire for night sessions than other Senators. He hoped that the Senate might agree upon some time for a vote-a time far enough off to permit the necessary latitude for proper debate
 MT. Jones of Arkansas said he did not think that at this time any agreement could be .made for vote
 MT. Hale of Maine said he could under stand perfectly the views of those opposed to the measure, burt he believed the Senatet would be tndulgent as it always has been with Senators who desired to prepare speeches upon the measure. He suggested that Senators should bear in mind that the pending measure was in effect not politi-

FOREIGN ENVOYS
 HOLD A MEET|NG Considering EdictS Issued by Chinese PIenipotentiaries.
 Trouble Expected.

PeLhi February 8-Tle foreign envoys met today to consider the edict presented by the Chinese plenipotentlaries regarding the suspension of executions for five years and also the punishment of officials guilty of not having suppressed outrages upon foreign CTS. They objected to the wording of the edict which made it seem that the troubles were entirely due to the actions of native Christians Satisfactor, In other respects it was altered to suit tne views of the en- yoys and then returned to the Chinese pie nipotentiaries.
 It Is reliably reported that more than 2O,- 900 Mohammedans have reappeared in Pe- kin during the last four weeks with the ob- ject of creating disturbances during the Chinese celebrations at New Year. The Ger mans have accordingly issued an order to their troops that no one shall walk alone and no one shall go unarmed. The order 3 directs the German troops in series of all Chinese and never under any consideration to enter Chinese private houses on invita- ton unless in considerable numbers.
 The more known the demands of the for eign envoys are among the Chinese the more the belief spreads that the court will not accept them, especially the demand Tor the punishment of Tung Flu Hsiang, who practically controls the entire Chinese army, apart from the troops with the court, and who is now in the province of Nansu. With Prince Yuan he would be able to hold out for indefinite period.
 The opinion Is gaining ground among the generals that possibly spring campaign against the province of Shen Si will be necessary.
 No answer to the latest communication from the foreign envoys is expected from the court before Tuesday, but the envoys hope the reply will be satisfactory.
 There Is much enthusiasm among the Americans, soldiers and civilians, over the reported promotion of General Chaffee. All the foreign generals have called to tender him congratulations

REVOLVING CRIME IN WALKER COUNTY Oscar Oakley Charged With Criminal Assault on His
 StepslsterS.

Jasper February 8.-(Special )-Oscar Oakley, white man charged with the most outrageous crime In the history of Walker county and Bob Thompson, charged with being an accessory were lodged in jail here today and are in danger oi being lynched by the citizens of Carbon Hill where the alleged crime was committed.
 The complaint against the men is made by Mrs. Oakley, the step-mother of Gear, who charges that he has criminally assault ed her two little daughters, aged respect fully. nine and twelve years. who are also his half sisters.
 The men were placed In jail this morn- ing, and this afternoon, Mrs. Oakley, &C., companied by the two little girls and about thirty of the best citizens of Carbon Hill came over to urge speedy trial and Judge Appling has ordered the empannel- ment of a grand jury to investigate the case.
 A lynching is strongly talked of, but it is thought that the prompt action of Judge Appling will prevent 1t.
 Oscar Oakley is about 2 years old, and is under indictment for murder in Marion County, but being of heretofore good char acter was out on bond
 Oakley denies his guilt, and threat ems to rill his step-mother, when released from custody
 Mrs Oakley, whose face is bruised from the effect of blows administered by her un- natural son, talks freely of the affair, the facts of which are revolting in the ex- treme and unfit for publication.
 According to the woman's story the little girls have kept silent under threat of death and only when the discovery was made by the mother on last Wednesday morning did the true facts come to light. At that time Oakley, so she says, attacked her and beat her into insensibiity. When she re- gained consciousness, she went to the house of Robert McMurray. neighbor, carrying her daughters with her. Oakley went to the house of McMurray, and car ried the girls. Mattie and Mamie, home.
 Last night Oakley began to hunt his step mother with the intention of killing her, going from house to house searching for her and threatening to kill any one who interfered with him or made any attempt to have him arrested. Failing to locate her, he and Bob Thompson hired & buggy and presumably left town, Thompson re- turning in about an hour and stating that the team had run away and that Oakley had been killed. He made search and

SENATE CAN'T AGREE
 ON THE SHIPPING BILL

cal measure, and that the majority would have to assume the responsibility for It. lie did not believe there was any desire 10 flibuster against the bill.
 MT. Tillman of South Carolina expressed his admiration for the wisdom and diplomacy always exhibited by the Senator from Maine," (Mr. Hale) and for "the placid way in which he has attempted to smooth the troubled waters here.'
 He inquired, however, how Senators could prepare speeches when they were under 1uii head of steam from o'clock in the morn ing until Il o'clock at night.
 MT. Hale believed those who desired to prepare speeches would find time--to do so.
 Mir Pritchard of North Carolina spoke briefly in favor of the shipping bill and the naval appropriation bill, was then taken up.
 At the conclusion of MT. Prftcnard speech the shipping bil1, without objection, was laid aside temporarily in order that the naval appropriation might be con sidered.
 An amendment was agreed to providing that the promotion of officers of the nay and marine corps made on account of war services, shall not interfere with the regu- lar promotion of officers
 An amendment involving the length or the course of study at the naval academy brought on long discussion. The senate committee had stricken out the House pro vision that naval cadets who had com pleted the four years course at the acade- my should be commissioned as naval or ficers at once.
 MT Hale explained that by the House provision 142 officers would be dumped into the navy at ono time at the foot ol the list thus creating what was known technically as a hump in the list This hump would stop the promotion of the younger officers. It was not expected MT Hale said, that officers should be provided immediately for all the war vessels author ized. If such plan were followed 1t would cost SO0, GOO GOO a year for the navy.
 Mir Tillman defended the action of the Senate committee, while Messrs. Foreaker McCaffrey, McEnery and Butler insisted the House provision be reinstated. MT. Chan dler, a former secretary of the navy, said that no greater mistake could be made than to reduce the cadet course form six to four years as the House had done.
 Without action, the Senate, at 6:O5 ?. m, adjourned.
