In the Senate.

Washington, Dec. II. - Almost the
entire session of the senate yesterday
was devoted to discussion of the ON
nibus statehood bill. The bill came
over as the unfinished business from
the last session and by agreement
yesterday was fixed for calling it up.
Early in the morning hour Mr.. Quay
submitted a report OF his own and it's
reading occupied the time of the en-
ate until 2 o'clock, when the statehood
bill was laid before the senate. It's
reading vas begun Immediately there
after, followed by the reading of the
substitute. Mr.. Beyeridge, chairman
of the committee on territories, then
presented the committee report on in
~vestigation of the reasons for joint
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory and not favoring the omni-
bus bill. Just before adjournment Mr..
Nelson secured permission to with
draw the substitute in order to perfect
1T. Mr.. Quay promptly insisted that
the substitute, if withdrawn, should be
sent back to the committee, but the
chair ruled against him.
In the House.
The feature of the house proceed
ings yesterday was a thoughtful
speech by the venerable Galusha A.
Grow of Pennsylvania on the rela-
tons between labor and capital. At
the end of the present session he re-
tires at the age of seventy-nine, after
a career in public life extending over
half a century. His speech yesterday
was a valedictory from public life and
was listened to with close attention by
his colleagues. His conclusion was
that some sort Of cooperation be-
tween labor and capital was the only
solution of the pending problem. A
bill was passed in general terms de-
signed to relieve the tea importers
from the recent decision of the circuit
court in New York imposing the 10
cent war duty on teas imported in
bond prior to the time when tea is re-
stored to the free list Jan. /, 1903.

Washington, Dec. Il. The senat
yesterday afternoon passed, with sew
eral amendments, the bill fixing the
compensation of the anthracite coal
commission and it now goes to con.
ference. The sentiment of the senate
was strongly in favor of allowing the

after considerable debate $4,000 was
settled upon as the proper amount
thus taking the responsibility out of
the hands of the president, as orig.
inally proposed.
At 2 o'clock the statehood bill came
up and there was a brisk exchange be.
tween Mr.. Quay, who favors the ON.

TWO VERY SAD DEATHS.
Henry Schillen OF Mineral Point
and Edward Leahy, OF
Monroe.

Last Thursday evening a message
came from Monroe containing the sad
announcement that Henry schiller
was dead. Mr. Schiller has been
ailing about a year, but during all of
that time he has been able to be about
He was visiting relatives at Monroe
and had enjoyed a drive on the After
noon OF the day before he died. The
sudden news of his uutimely death
shocked beyond description his rel
atives and many friends in this city.
Death is always unwelcome, whenever
and wherever it enters, and especially
so, when it robs us of a citizen who
was so generally loved, respected ,
and admired as was our deceased
friend.
Henry Schiller was born in Mineral
Point 32 years ago, and made this
city his home from the time of his
birth until his death. He early be-
came associated with his father, the
late Nicholas Schilleu, in the hotel
business, and on the death of his
father 6 years ago Henry became sole
proprietor of the Globe Holel. He
was a member of the Mineral Point
Band for several years and contrib
uted much toward making this band
the famous organization that it is
today. He was affiliated with St.
Joseph's Society and for time was
its Nice-President and Treasurer. In
1894 he married Kittie Leahy, who
together with her infant child, Harry,
survives him.
The funeral of the deceased took
place on Sunday afternoon with SER
vices at ST. Mary's of which congre-
cation he has been a member AL of
his life. The members of St. Joseph $
Society and the band escorted the
remains to the cemetery, and the un-
usually large concOurse of people
who attended the funeral evidenced
the high esteem in which the deceased
was held by those who knew him.
The death of Henry Schiller is a
distinct loss to this community. OF
him it can be truly said, che had not
an enemy in the world In his con-
duct and association with others he
was always courteous and obliging
