Many Want to Rule London Police.
Among the candidates for the office
of chief commissioner of the city po-
lice in London are one major general
of the army, seven colonies or lieuten-
ant colonies, three majors and five
captains, says the Newcastle (England)
Chronicle. The latter all occupy some
what analogous posts in the provinces,
but the other officers are military men
pure and simple. There is also one
baronet and one knight among the ap-
plicants, which goes to show that, al
though the emoluments Of the Office
are much greater, the post is not so at
tractive to those bearing titles as that
of city marshal. for which recently a
couple of peers Of the realm sought ap-
pointment. The police committee will
select five from the numerous appi-
cants, and from these the court of COM
mon council is to choose Sir Henry
Smiths successor.

acquisition Of the franchises, right OF
way and other property of the new
Panama Canal company of France, in
Guiding that cOmpany's control of the
Panama railroad.
The president is authorized to pay
$40, GOO, 600 for these, provided salts
factory title can be obtained He IS
then authorized to secure the necessary
concessions from the republic of Co
lombia. these TO include the perpetual
control of a ten-mile strip of territory
from the Caribbean sea to the Pacific
ocean. A canal sufficient to accommo-
date the largest vessels is then to be
constructed under the supervision OF
the secretary of war.
The bill also carries an alternative
provision authorizing the president TO
proceed with the construction of the
Nicaragua canal in case he fails TO Sc
cure the necessary concessions from
Colombia or a satisfactory title from
the Panama Canal company. An inn
mediate appropriation of $1O,OOO,OOO IS
made in either event. The limit Of cost

anna route is chosen, while S16,000,0OO is
allowed in case the choice falls on the

Animal imprisoned in a Snow

Days.

Cheyenne, WyO., Jan. 2S-It is not
generally known that sheep have Won
derful vitality, and contrary to the gen
eraI superstition, they stand the severe
storms on the plains better than any
other domestic animal. Every winter
cases are brought to light where sheep
have been buried under snow for many
days and have lived. but the most in
teresting case of this character. and
which shows the wonderful vitality uf
these little animals, comes from Rawlins,

Thousands of sheep We're driven before

devoured many of the stray animals and

large number of sheep on the desert, the
loss was very small
Last Thursday John Fridley. a sheep
man of Rawlins. while hunting for stray
sheep in the Red desert, noticed an air
hole in d huge bank of snow. Looking
through the hole he was surprised TO see
Fridley thought the animal had frozen
stiff but IN a moment the sheep lowered
its head and began to nibble at the
grass Digging away the snow the old
eve was liberated and SCampSrcd off
across the plains.
The sheep had been Imprisoned in the
snow bank for fOrty-fOuT days. 1t sub

exposed BY the melting snow around the
animal. This Is the greatest exhibition
of vitality on record.

ITAsHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-A Philip

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-A Philip
wv pine storm was central in the
senate chamber today for nearly
three hours, but was void of definite
results. AT times it looked very serious
and the spectators who thrOnged the
galleries watched it with breathless in
terest.
Acrimony in senate debates is not in
frequent. but it has been years since
there has been such a hurricane of bit
ter vituperatiOn, of personal taunt, Of
ugly charges and of unmOdihed crit
cism as was witnessed today. Not
since the discussion Of the resolutions
leading up TO the Spanish-American
war has any scene occurred in the SEN
ate chamber comparable with today's-
Even that debate lacked the personal
bitterness manifested at times today
Irritation. was aroused on both sides
Of the chamber. and once or twice per
sonal encounters between senators
seemed imminent. Once. when Senator
Teller tainted the Republican senators
bv declaring that they knew the state
ments made in a recent dispatch from
Manila. in which General Wheaton was
represented as criticising the opponents
of the governments policy in the Phil
ippines. were true, half a dozen Re
pubIicans were on their feet in an in
slant.
Senator Lodge, at whom the taunts
seemed to be aimed particularly, hur-
riedIy crossed from his seat in the cen
ter of the Republican side to the main
aisle of the senate, and, white 70 the
lips. passionately challenged the state
ment of the Colorado senator and de
p,apded that he withdraw Il. Senator

further hosthities at that Time were

one of the sharpest colloquies Of th'
/ session was between Senator SpOonel
/ of Wisconsin and Senator Tiliman o.
/ South Carolina. The race problem, in
I voIving the lynching of negroes, Wa'
/ interjected into the controversy, anC
much feeling was manifested by Dotl
! senators.
/ Senators in their excitement for tn
moment seemed to have forgotten m

was ended for the day the chair fei

TT ASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The war
fake any action respecting

VI ASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The war
w department is not disposed to
take any action respecting
General Wheaton's utterances, which
were quoted in the senate yesterday.
This is because the officials, after
studying the Manila dispatch in which
General Wheaton was quoted, are sat
isfied that the debate in the senate pro-
ceeded upon an entire misapprehen-
sion of what General Wheaton was re-
ported to have said. 1t is found that
General Wheaton did not criticlse the
United States senate or it's commit
tees. but only Professor Sehurmann.
Mr.. McCumber of North Dakota. re-
ferring to the statement Of Mr.. Dubois
yesterday regarding General Wheaton
having been charity boy educated at
the military academy, said General
Wheaton never had been at West
Point, but rose from the ranks.
Mr.. Dubois said he was glad to know
it. Senators had been clubbing over
the dispatch from Manila, but so far as
he had observed. none of them had
ventured to suggest that army officers
should not be reDTimanded for their
/ criticism of senator
! At the cabinet meeting today Secre-
/ tary Root read a private letter from
| l
ports of friction between the military
and civil authorities in the Philippines,
and gave very encouraging resume
of the situation. His statement was
/ considered very gratifying by the
president and the members of the cab
met
The discussion in the senate yes
| terday concerning General Wheaton
came up incidentally, and Secretary
Root read General WheatOn's record,
/ which showed that he had enlisted in
the volunteer army at the beginning of
the civil war. and after gallant ser
| vice, at the close of the war had been
( appointed to the regular army, in
| which he had risen through each sue
ceeding grade to the rank of major
general.
Postmaster Payne talked briefly
about the progress of the new regula-
tions for wedding out" publications
from second class mail. The course of
the demands in this respect is meeting
with opposition, but satisfactory prog
ress is being made.
Secretary Wilson read the reports
of the agricultural departments agents
in Hawaii, Honolulu and Alaska, which
will soon be published.
When the Philippine tariff bill was
| taken up Mr. Bacon OF georgia OueleC
a Joint resolution containing that por-
ton of the bill relative to shipping II
the Philippines. He wanted it passed
Immediately, saying that il was the
really urgent portion Of the bill. The
minority would make no objection Z
the resolution, and it could pass TIT
house and become a law at once.
Mr.. Lodge stated that the measur,
under cOnsiderati ton was a house bill
, and contained many other impOrtan
, features. and he saw no reason VIII,
it should be passed Diecemeal.
, Mr.. Bacon insisted that senator
should have opportunity to examin
, the reports Of the Taft commission
, which were very voluminous. and h
thought it would be well to Tass tn
) resolution which was offered in GOO
, faith, and thus give senators an op
pOrtunity to prepare to discuss tn
other features Of the bill

SELL CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
Statesmen Recall the Customs Of
Some Obsolete Newspapers.

Washington. Jan. 2S.-In the senate
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia offered a resO-
luton providing that the committee
on printing consider the expediency of
printing a special edition of the Con-
gressional Record for sale to the gen
eral public at 81 for the long sessions
and 81 for the short sessions. He said
that some action ought to be taken by
congress to insure to the general pub
lie more complete information as to the
dOings in congress.
Under the present system. he said
it was impossible for the public to be
kept informed upon the work CT con-
gress It was no reflection, he said,
upon the newspapers of the country to
say that they did not publish full re-
ports of congressional proceedings. No
newspaper could afford to present TO
its read rs more than brief synopsis
of the proceedings in the two branches
of congress.
Mr. Hawley remarked that his news
paper experience extended back be
tween forty and fifty years. When he
was younger the newspapers of the
country devoted considerable attention
