and Barns,

Huron, S. d., Jan. 1s.-Reports
from Tuesday afternoons prairie fire
in the western part of this, Beadle
county, indicate that the losses are
very heavy to farmers and stockmep,
many of them losing their entire sup

sheds and barns. The wind was blow

zens turned out and fought the flames
away from Wolsey. A special train
from this city was sent out by the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company with fire fighters, and they,
with the help of those from Wolsey,
extinguished the flames a few miles
east of Wolsey. The burned area is
from two to five miles wide and from
ten to 12 miles long, in which is
located many prosperous farmers and
stockmen, some of whom lost all their
hay and feed and also their barns and
stock sheds.

Senate by a Vote Of 43 TO %.
FOUR DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR BILL.
The Military Academy Appropriation Bill
Reported Claims Of the Cramp Ship
building Company In Honse-strenu-
GUS Opposition to Bill by Minority.

Washington, Jan. l9.--Just before
six O'Clock yesterday evening the
senate finally disposed of the army
reorganization bill. The measure
having originated in the senate, the
final question was not upon its pas
sage, but upon agreeing to the SEN
ate amendments. They were agreed
TO by vote of 43 to 30. While party
lines were drawn on the measure,
four democrats voted for it, Senators
Lindsay, of Kentucky; McLaurin, of
South Carolina; Morgan, of Alabama,
and Sullivan, of Mississippi Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts, who was de-
tanned at his home by illness, was
paired against the bill with Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin. The bill has
occupied practically the entire at
tentiOn of the senate since the Sd OF
January, when it was made the un.
finished business. While the OPPOSE
ton to it at all stages was vigorous,
1T never was bitter. Numerous
amendments were made to it, but in
general the committee was sustained
and the measure, with the exception
of the elimination OF the canteen
clause, is not widely different from
that reported to the senate.
A determined effort was made yes
terday to amend the bill so as to pro-
vide against the sale of liquor in the
Philippines and to prohibit the i'm
portation of any kind of intoxicants
into the islands, but il was defeated.
A notable speech was delivered dur
ing the day by Senator Hale, of Maine,
who, while opposing the increase in
the strength Of the army, stated CO.
gently his reasons for supporting the
bill. Every effort to prevent the in
crease in the strength of the army
was defeated by decisive majority.
As the bill originated in the senate
It now will go directly to the confer
cnce committees appointed by the
two branches Of congress.
Senator Sewell, from the commit
tee on military affairs, reported the
academy appropriation bill.
II, makes an increase in the total ap-
made by the bill as passed
by the house of $73,49O for the con-
of officers quarters. The to-
tai amount carried by the bill is $773,-

Sons Shipbuilding company, of Phil

the baitleships Massachusetts and In

quay IS SWORN IN.
Senator for Pennsylvania Given
an Ovation in Senate Chamber.
The ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL.


Ndsnlils toI, Jan. lo.-AS ueIlOn-
stration in honor Of the seating of
single senator and as an elaborate
and beautiful floral spectacle, the re-
turn Of Matthew Stanley Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, to the senate yesterday
was unique in the history of the body.
Within the memory of the oldest SEN
ators nothing approximating yester-
days scene ever was witnessed in
the senate on similar occasion. The
demonstration accorded to Mr.. Quay
when he entered the chamber
amounted to an ovation. The brief
ceremony of administering to him the
oath of office passed without special
event, the president pro TEN. having
warned those in the galleries that It
was against the rules of the senate
for spectators to express either APP
proval or disapproval.
During the days session the army
reorganization bill was discussed at
length by Senator Money (dem.), of
Mississippi; Senator ;McComas (rep),
of Maryland, and Senator Bate
(dem), of Tennessee. The Mississippi
senator devoted some attention to t',e
practice of hazing at West Point,
which he bitterly denounced.
Senator Wetmore, from the COM
mittee on library, reported substi-
tute for the house bill authorizing
memorial statue to be erected in
Washington to the memory of Gen.
Grant. The substitute places the sub
iect in the hands of committee and
authorizes the expenditure of $4,000.
Senator Morgan gave notice of an
amendment he will propose to the
ship subsidy bill providing for an in
come tax.
Senator Lodge introduced a bill
providing for the amendment of the
immigration law so as to exclude in
sane, idiotc and epileptic persons.
Senator Foraker made another eff
fort to secure the confirmation of
James S. Harlan as attorney general
of Porto Rico, but on account of the
want of quorum made no progress.
Senator Pettigrew stated that he de-
sired to discuss the nomination fur
thcr but desired to speak to quo
rum.
Bill to Codify the Postal Laws.
Washington, Jan. 1s.-Yesterday
was an exceedingly dull day in the
house. The entire day was spent up
on the bill to revise and codify the
postal laws. which is to be the con-
tinuing order, not, however, to in
terfere with appropriation bills or
conference reports until disposed of.
1t is a bill of 9e1 pages and is simply
a revision of existing laws. Some
disposition was manifested to inject
into the measure some amendments
to present law in the interest of GER
tain classes of mail employees, but
such attempts were successfully re-
sisted. just before the house adj

defeated on a rising vote, 10 to 33,
but Mr.. Smith made the point of Or

the amendment went over. Ninety

was OF the puiest silk. The design was
beautifully cone eived. while the col
oiihg was of those wonderful shades
which have made Turkish rugs re-
