THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Important Matters to Re Attended to
 Before Holidays.

Before HOi1QRyss
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 - Senate forecast: The disposition of the senate is to do little business beyond acting upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty before adjournment for the holidays. In ac- cordance with the agreement reached Friday the treaty will be voted on be- fore the senate adjourns today. Sena- tor Teller made the first speech of the day. The opponents of the treaty ad- init there is no doubt of ratification. Tomorrow the announcement of the changes in committees will be made, and there is probability that after this announcement the senate will ad- journ until Thursday, when the ad- journment for the holidays will take place, extending to Jan. 6.
 The house this week will pass the bill to provide temporarily revenues for the Philippine Islands which was reported from the ways and means committee last Friday. Under the agreement made general debate will extend throughout tomorrow and until o'clock Wednesday, when vote will be taken. There will be no opportunity to amend the measure. There will be a break in the party lines on both sides of the house. The general belief is that the bill will receive as many Dem ocratic votes as it loses votes on the Republican side.

ROUNDING UP REBELS.
General Bell is Active in Batangas
 Province


 MANILA, Dec 16-General J. Frank lin Bell has been exceedingly active in by every means available to stamp out the insurrection. There are daily small fights between the insurgents and the men of General Bells command in which the former are almost invaria- bly routed. Lieutenant Hennessy of the Eighth infantry, together with one American scout and six Filipinos, cap tured an insurgent major, with forty two men, twenty-two rifles and SS0 rounds of ammunition, without the loss of man.
 A number of captured documents and papers now in the hands of Gener- al Bell duplicate ill the insurrection the presidente and other prominent natives of Lian, Batangas province. General Bell has notified the natives in Batan- gas that on Dec 2S he purposes to con centrate them i'll the neighborhood of the towns. He will move their live stock, rice, etc, within the limits of concentration. After this date every tbing outside these limits will be con fscated.
 The roads from Batangas and Lagu- ma provinces are lined with a eontinu- ous stream of native men. women and children in carryalls. carts and mount ed on carabaos seeking safety from the horrors of war. The column under Colonel Theodore J. Wint of the sixth cavalry is tireless in its operations against the insurgents and has receiy- ed high praise from the military au- thorities.
 The insurgent general Torres. who was found guilty by q military com mission of ordering the assassination of an American corporal and sentenced to be hanged, but whose sentence was disapproved by General Chaffee, broke down when he was released. He said 1t was just that his life be spared be- cause he was innocent of the crime i'm puted to him. He has expressed his highest regard and warmest feelings for General Chaffee and his apprecia- tion that the supreme military power in the Philippines is in the hands of such man. Torres says he is submis- sive to the existing conditions.
 Patterson, the English secretary to Sixto Lopez, who was expelled from the Philippines for refusing to swear allegiance to the United States, has left for Hongkong on the United States army transport Warren.
 Ninety American army and navy ofii- cers were present at dinner given in honor of the. officers of the British cruiser Endymion Saturday night. Act ing Civil Governor Wright, answering to "The Philippines" said he thought he had been too long in the islands to answer satisfactorily. He said he knew more about the islands when he had been there but thirty days than he did now.

PEKING, Dec. 16.-The Manchurian question has reached Q stage which best informed observers consider to be a crisis in Chinese history. The Chinese government is beset between Russia on the one hand and Great Britain, the United States and Japan on the other. The government is helpless and will yield to that faction able to bring the strongest pressure to bear. Prince Ching is distinctly more friendly to Great Britain than was Li Hung Chang.

MRS. DYER'S HEART,

McCarron, Mich, Oct. 21st.-In April
last the sensational case of Mrs. Sam
uel &. Dyer, of this place, was reported
in these columns. Mrs. Dyer has suf-
fered for years with very bad case of
Heart Trouble and was cured in a few
weeks by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Since then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as TO her condi-
ton and many may be interested to
hear that She is at present enjoying
the best of health and has not had the
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sit up in bed for
hours to get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady of 62 years in
the State. Dodd's Kidney Pills have
made many friends in Chippewa Coun-
ty through their cure of Mrs. Dyer's
case, and have proven beyond doubt
that their cures are not only very com.
plete, but absolute and permanent.

MOTHER OF PEARL CLOUDS.
the Danish Polar Expedition
Scientists

The last Danish expedition which
was sent TO the polar regions to study
the aurora borealis observed the So
called mother of pearl clouds" which
are described in the reports of the
Danish Academy of Sciences. These
clouds resemble the so-called shining
clouds" These formations were given
their singular name by The Norwegian
meteorOlogist, Prof. Mohn. The Dan
ish twice had an opportunity of seeing
such celestial phenomena. Once they
succeeded i'll measuring the distance
of these clouds above the earth, which
was found to be about 10 l<ilom tiers,
says the London Standard.
The second time measuring was not
possible, because all the members of
the expedition were in on place, but
they were able to make some remark
able observations about the movement
of the cloud At first it looked like
horizontal band in the southwestern
horizon at height of 30 or 35 degrees.
Then it moved slowly toward the east,
stopped and finally returned to its
original position. During its retro
grade motion a part of the cloud was
torn off, the fragment assuming cir
cular shape, and floating alone with a
rapidity of one degree in four seconds
toward the south. Having passed
through seven degrees of the tirma-
ment, this small cloud was dissolved
1t is evident that these motions are
peculiar to the mother of pearl
Clouds" because another cloud which
was in the same tract of sky at the
same time remained moticaless. The
color of these forma tions at the edge
was mostly red. but toward the middle
it changed from rose color to green
The clouds were visible in broad day

haps, the strong sunlight which pre-
vented the observation of any pecu-
liarities in the spectrum of these
clouds.
Their motion cannot be caused BY
any wind. Prof. Poulsen, the head of
the expedition, is rather of the opinion
that the mother of pearl clouds are
moved by other forces. partly. per-
haps, by electricity. Poulsen explains
the formation of such a cloud by cur
rents of negative electricity, by virtue
of which the atmospheric vapor is con-
densed. The clouds probably move
in the direction of the electric cur
