shovelled into the schoolhouse cellars. Steel
cars laden with this coveted burden in peace
full region are bringing two thousand tons to the
capital-just enough TO keep the boys and girls
warm until Christmas.
There is great JOY here over this success,
but much distress the condition Of the bins
In the local coal yards a trustworthy estl-
mate published to-day is that there are not
more than one Thousand tons of anthracite in
the entire city. II sells at Sl6 ton, while coke
brings 81. IL is declared that people are going
South for the winter, that TWO or three lam

This makes the real estate men groan- One
good thing however. is that recent rains have
swelled the Cumberland Canal. and hereafter
the mules on the old tOwpath Will stretch their
limbs dragging boats heavily loaded with coal

The superintendent Of the government depart

buildings this winter. but in an optimistic spirit
say. We've had mild summer. perhaps we'll
have mild winter: and, anyhow. things will
adjust themselves pretty soon"

CONDITIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
Gen. Hughes and Gov. Taft Heard by
Committees.

The Senate committee on the Philippines
resumed it's sittings today with Gen. Rob
ert p Hughes as a witness. Gen. Hughes
went to the islands in August, 1898, and
has been there ever since until within the
past few weeks. He said that soon after
his arrival he had been appointed provost
marshal general of Manila. At that time
the insurrecto forces were quartered in the
city and there was free communication be-
tween them and the Americans. When
later Aguinaldo was directed to move out
he objected strenuously, but went. At first,
the witness said. the people of the city We're
quite friendly, but by the 1st Of January
1899 there was change in their bearing.
This change he attributed to AguinaldoS S
influence and advice.
Gen. Hughes then described the condition
of affairs in Manila which led up to the
outbreak of February 4, 1899.
In response to request from Senator
Hale Gen. Hughes described that occur
renee in detail.
The committee adjourned until 10:3O to-
morrow.
Gov Taft continued his statement before
the House insular committee today, dwelling
F'ilipinos. He denied reports that they were
cowardly and related an instance in which
few Filipino scouts along with United
States troops saved the day. AS to their
treachery, he said this was due largely to
their being between two fires, the hostile
native sentiment on one hand and the
American sentiment on the other. On the
whole he did not regard them as sufficiently
advanced at present for self government.

NEW SIXTEEN-INCH GUN.
The Work of Assembling It's Parts
COMPLETED

The work of assembling the sixteen-inch
rifle, the largest weapon Of warfare ever
made in the United States, has been COM
pleted at the Watervliet arsenal, and the
big gun will be ready for testing at the
Sandy Hook proving grounds whenever
orders to that effect are received.
The great gun will be mounted on a dis
appearing carriage. The huge rifle consists
of long inner tube, heavy jacket ex-
tending from the breech to about six feet
beyond the trunnioEs, the chase hoops,
extending from the jacket to the muzzie,
and the jacket hoops, incosing the jacket
and extending from the breech about half
the length Of the gun.
The dimensions of the SiXteen-inch gun
are: Length, 40 feet $40 inches; dame
ter of breech, 5 feet: diameter of muzzle >
feet inches. The bore Is IL inches. The
total weight of the forgings of the gun will
be about 100000 pounds. About 60wy0
pounds were removed from the castings in
the turning and shaping of the rifle during
its manufacture.
The projectiles of the piece of ordnance
will be feet and inches in length.
1t is not likely that the government will
construct another gun of this size. The
manufacture OF such heavy ordnance is
found to be more expensive than was i'm
agined and it is believed that guns of
smaller caliber are better adapted to sea-
coast defense.

OPPOSED TO POLYGAMY.
Delegation of Women Before the House
Judiciary Committee.

A large number Of ladies representing the
Federation of Women's Clubs, the Inter
national Council of Women and kindred
organizations opposed to polygamy, were
heard by the House committee on judici-
ary today in favor of a stringent consti
tutional amendment against polygamOus
practices. 1t was stated by the various
speakers that Mormonism and polygamy.
was largely increasing in several far west
ern states and was rapidly invading the
eastern states. The state of West Vir-
ginia. it was stated. furnished 1900 con-
verts to Mormonism last year. Pennsyl-
vania and other states were divided into
districts and were being systematically
canvassed by Mormon missionaries.
Representative Fleming Of Georgia sug-
gested that a congressional committee of
investigation go to Utah and learn the
facts. The ladies were willing to accept
the Investigating committee If a constitu-
tional amendment could not be secured.
The committee did not, however, take final
action.

FEARS OF A FLOOD.
Ice Gorges on the Susquehanna Arouse
UneasiueSs

LANCASTER. Pa, February 2o.-The ice
on the Susauehanna river has not yet
broken, but the flood made imminent by
the recent storm and the present mild
weather Is expected at any time, and pre-
parations are being made to meet 1t at
Washington Borough. the place directly
threatened. A telephone message was got
ten through to Washington Borough last
night for the first time since communica-
tion was broken last Friday. The river
is gorged from shore to shore from that
place to McCalls ferry, distance Of six
miles. Ice is piled to a level with the tracks
of the Port Deposit and Columbia railroad.
The great volume Of water being poured
into the river by the swollen streams of the
state nave not yet had any visible effect.
At Washington Borough there is no water
on the ice.
The present gorge is worse than any since
1857 and if the usual order Of things pre-
walls, when the ice moves, tremendous
gorge will form at Turkey Hill, just below
Washington Borough where the river mar
rows. The back water, it is said. imperils
the lower portion of Columbia we'll as
Washington Borough, and the little villages
lying between, while the peach orchards
and tobacco sheds. some with the crop still
in them on the larger islands in the river,
will be in danger of being swept away.

BENEFIT GOES TO GERMANY.
Need of New Commercial Treat
With Switzerland.

The State Department made public today
report from United States Consul Nor
gan at Aarau. Switzerland, which embodies
a letter received by Mr.. Morgan from a
prominent Swiss business man in answer
to one from the consul in regard to open
ings for American trade. Inc letter ex-
presses great regret that a new COM
mercial treaty between the United States
and Switzerland has not been concluded
and points out that Germany has the bene-
fits of the most favored nation clause
and does not fail to take all possible adj
vantage of the tariff difficulties between
the United States and Switzerland. At pres
ent all goods coming into Switzerland from
the United States have to pay duty ac-
cording to the general tariff-an increase
or 1o per cent over that paid before the alb
rogation of the most favored nation
treaty in March, 1899 from whatever
point of view the matter is looked upon
the letter states, the United States is the
loser.

The action of the Senate in adjourning so
early today was a very general surprise and
probably no democrat and only few re-
publicans had an intimat;on of what was to
be done. Senators who were in favor of
this motion suggested that the Senate was
tired out by its long session of yesterday
and the trying events that have lately been
before 1t and that an adjournment would
allow not only rest but opportunity for
members on both sides to regain their usual
good humor before taking up this question
which is likely to lead to Irritation on both
sides.
Senator Burrows was asked by Star
reporter whether he could indicate how long
it would take his committee to dispose of
the Tilman-McLaurin matter, but he mere
ly replied. good naturedly: 1--WE will pro-

four hours and long and bitter struggle
seems to be in sight.

this afternoon.
Il do not know. 1 am not authorized to
speak for my colleagues" he replied But
If I had my way I would not permit roll
call in the Senate pass unchallenged until
the record Of yesterday is corrected.
Senator Fairbanks, one of the republican
leaders, was asked what he thought his
part colleagues would do.
1--WE will tackle the democrats on the
proposition and fight it out" he said.
Democrats Conferring.
Leading democrats Of the Senate will also
meet tonight and endeavor to decide upon
a united policy. The democratic leader
Senator Jones, is absent from the city. Sen
ators Bailey and Turner took the leading
part In the debate yesterday and they Will
be taken into conference with the other
democrats.
The democratic senators spent the day IN
general discussion among themselves OF
the situation. They were unanimous IN
their characterization of Senator Frye

purpose to resist by prolonged debate IL
necessary any further efforts to enforce the

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
A Pro Rata Reduction Proposed to the
Powers.

The United States government has pro-
posed to the powers concerned in the Chi
nese treaty that they consent to a pro rata
reduction Of claims so as to maintain the
total within the sum of 100000 600 taels,
which the powers agreed to accept from
China as full indemnity for the Boxer out
RACES. Germany has discovered that she
has placed her claim too low, and has de-
manded an increase in allowance of 10,
100000 taels, and if this is to be met, the
other sgnatory powers must agree to sub
NIT to the pro rata reduction Of that sum
from their own original allotments. The
United States is firmly opposed to any at
tempt to extort from China more than the
which the powers themselves originally
agreed to accept as wiping out their claims,
and it will attempt to avoid the creation of
a precedent to be followed by the other
powers in the allowance of this German
claim,
