NCHLBY CASE
IN THE NBNATE
Efforts to Extend Thanks TO
Admiral Failed
Teller Declared England Guilty Of
Vile Assassination in Putting
ScheeperS to Death

Washington, Jan. 24.-An effort |
was made in the senate yesterday by
Mr.. Mason. Of Illinois, to obtain con-
sideration for a joint resolution, which
he introduced, extending the thanks
OF congress to Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley "for his brave and able
conduct while in command of the
American feet in the victorious bat
tie of Santiago" The effort, however,
was not successful.
Mr.. Masons resolution, in addition
to the thanks OF congress. provided
that Admiral Schley should be pre-
sonted with a sword. that bronze
medals commemorative of the battle
Of Santiago should be distributed
among the officers and men under
the command of Schley during said
battle" and that $4,000 be appro-
priated to meet the expenses Of the
resolution On motion of Mr. Hale the
resolution was referred to the com.
mittee on naval affairs.
The resolution introduced on Wed.
nesday by Mr.. Teller, providing for
Intervention on the part of this gov
ernment in behalf Of the Boer com
mandant. Scheepers. sentenced to
death by the British South African
authorities, was postponed indefinite.
ly, as Scheepers has been already exc
cuted. Mr. Teller made a brief but
caustic speech on the actions Of
Great Britain in the Boer war, and
declared that if the facts of this case
were as he understood them, Great
Britain in putting Scheepers to death
is guilty of a vile assassination"

The consideration of the urgent dc.

cessfu effort was made to increase
the pay of rural free delivery carriers
from $500 to 5000 per annum. Mr.
| Hill, of Connecticut made the motion
to increase the appropriation for this
! purpose. 1t was resisted by Mr.. Can
non and Mr.. Loud chairman Of the

that the method was irregular, but the
members with rural constituencies
supported it, and it was adopted.
