THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Many Bills of Far Reaching Importance
Enacted VIII Asgre-
gate Nearly $1,000, 100000.

Washington, June 30.-The work
of congress is now practically closed,
so that it is possible to sum up the
record of what has been accom-
pHshed during the past seven months,
which constitute the first session of
the Fifty-seventh congress. With
the exception of the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill, most of the larger subjects
of general legislation. have been en-
acted as laws or will become such be-
fore the session closes. Notable
among these larger measures is the
isthmian canal bill, which consum-
mates the efforts of a half century
to link together the waters of the
Atlantic and Pacific. The Philippine
civil government bill is another meas
ure of far-reaching Importance ex-
tending to our remote Pacific posses
sions system of international gov
eminent together with coinage, cur
rency, banking, corporation, timber
and homestead laws. Among the
other important general laws are
those repeating the war revenue
taxes; extending and making more
effective the Chinese exclusion laws;
blishing tariff for good to and
from the Philippines; extending the
charter of national banks for 20
years; establishing a permanent CEN
sus office; restricting the sale of
oleomargarine by placing high tax
on imitation butter; providing con-
sular and diplomatic service for
China; establishing an extensive sys-
tenn by which the government will
aid in the irrigation of the arid Sec
tons of the west.
The amount of appropriations for
the session will almost, if not quite,
come up to the billion dollar mark.

CROPS BADLY DAMAGED.
st, Louis and Vicinity Visited by Storm OF
Unusual Severity-World's Fair
Buildings Injured.

ST. Louis, June 3O.-This city and
vicinity yesterday was the center of
a rainstorm of unprecedented Sc
verify that had prevailed almost in
cessantly since Saturday morning.
At times the storm equalled cloud
burst in severity. The storm is the
most widespread that has been ex-
perienced in this country for many
years, according to weather bureau
officials, extending from the Rocky
mountains to the Alleghenies. Con-
siderable damage, the total estimated
at about $25O,OOO, resulted from the
wind that accompanied the rain,
which blew down trees, telephone,
telegraph and trolley poles and in
terfered with communication of all
sorts. From the country surround
ing come reports of destruction to
crops and the washing out of rail-
road tracks and bridges, causing
considerable delay to trains. Five
hundred feet of the north wall of
the varied industries palace at the
worlds fair grounds fell last night
as the result of the storm, the water
undermining the foundations when
the wind was at its height. In places
the worlds fair grounds are covered
with water.

Washington, June 2s.-At the meet
ing of the cabinet yesterday the
terms of an amnesty proclamation
to the Filipinos, which it is contem
plated to issue on the Fourth of
July, were agreed upon. The wal
department for some time past has
had under consideration the draft OF
a proclamation and has found it nee
essary to make a number of changes
in its text. In its modified state il
was agreed to by the cabinet yester
day and Secretary Root will cable Il
to Acting Gov. Wright for his in
spection. If it meets the latter
approval nothing will remain but fol
the president, if the Philippine civi
government bill is law on that day
as is now expected it will be, to
issue on Independence day a. formal
proclamation, setting forth terms of
amnesty for all political offenders
in the islands, including Aguinaldo
and those held at Guam.

DISASTROUS FOREST FIRES
They Threaten to Denude Colorado OF
Timber If Means Cannot BE Found
to Check Them.

Denver, Col, June 2s.-Not IL.
many years has Colorado been visit
ed by so many disastrous forest fires
as this summer. Half dozen big
fires are now raging and numerous
smaller ones threaten to denude the
state of timber if means cannot be
found to check them. Register Joyce
sent out four of his inspectors dur
ing the past few days to battle with
the fires and has issued general ap-
peal to peace officers to render all
assistance in their power to stay
the flames.
A great fire is sweeping along the
Medicine Bow range in Wyoming and
will soon reach Colorado if not
checked. Some of the finest timber
in the state is in the path of this
fire. A number of the fires are
thought to be of incendiary origin.

The democratic members of the hous

protect trade and commerce against

British and American Missions Suffer
the Customary Penalty.

Pel<in, June 2s.-The viceroy of the
province of Szeh-Chuan has notified
the government that the American
and British mission buildings at Tien
ku Chao have been destroyed by
mob and that a missionary has been
murdered. His name and nationality
were not reported. An imperial edict
just issued deprives the local magis-
frate of Tien Kue Chao of his rank
and orders the determination of the
rioters. Several of the leaders of the
outbreak are reported to have been
beheaded. Apparently this was an
anti-idemnity rising, like those which
have occurred elsewhere in China.

sheriff and placed in her old cell, a
small room about 1Ox2O feet.
The penalty is from ten years to
life imprisonment. Sentence will be
pronounced this week, and the case
may be appealed to the supreme
court again. Eleven men stood for
conviction and one for acquittal on
the first ballot; on the second all
stood for conviction, but one man
held out for manslaughter until the
seventh ballot, when the verdict was
secured.
At the first trial the jury did not
agree. At the second trial a verdict
of second degree manslaughter was
rendered and the defendant was SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary.

FOR LOOT AND GAIN2
Admiral Dewey Says Aguinaldo's
Motives Were Mercenary.
On the Witness Stand the Admiral Declared
That the Filipino Leader at No Time
Had the Independence of His
Race in Mud.

Washington, June 2s.-Admira1
Dewey continued his testimony be-
fore the senate committee on the
Philippines Friday. Replying to ques-
tons put by Senator Patterson, he
said that he had begun negotiations
with the governor-genera1 of the
Philippines, Gen. Jaudens, for the
surrender of. the city and the ne
gotiations were conducted through
the Belgian consul, who after the
heath of the British consul had been
tery courteous in acting as go
between. It was a diplomatic nego-
iation, no letters being written.
Asked by Mr.. Patterson to explain
his statement that Gen. Merritt had
not accepted the report that the
Spaniards had agreed to capitulate,
Admiral Dewey said that was only
his belief. sI don't believe" he said,
."that the general entirely trusted
the Spanish authorities. Still he did
not say so in SO many words. I may
add that I have since learned that
some of the Spanish officers were
tempted to fire at us, but they did
not do SO. Even my own flag lieuten-
ant did not accept their prefer as
in the best faith. I knew, however,
that they would surrender for I I'M

Mr.. Patterson then read Mr.. Wild
mans letter of July 10, 1898, saying
that Aguinaldo had conducted him.
self in a dignified manner, etc., and
the admiral assented to the truth Of
this statement. Speaking of Aguina1-
dos loyalty the admiral said he had
become suspicious of the leader be-
fore the receipt of his proclamation
of July Is. He said: 81 began to sus-
pect that he was not loyal to us
when he demurred to moving out of
Cayitei when our troops arrived
Admiral Dewey said he had for
Harded the proclamations of Aguin-
aldo to Washington without reading
them. "The days and nights were
not long enough for my work at that
time," said the admiral "Since you
have asked my opinion said he, in
answer to a question, 81 will say I
believe Aguinaldo was there for gain,
for loot, for money, and that indie
pendence never entered his head"
Senator Carmack asked him why he
furnished such a man arms and
Hcipcu 10 OISdInZc Ills army, 10 WHICH
the admiral replied that ''all was fair
in war" and there were no Ameri-
can troops in the islands to oppose
the Spaniards. Answering several
questions the admiral said he thought
he knew Aguinaldo better than Gen.
Otis, Gen. Bell or any other officer,
as he saw more of him. "He had not
been in Manila 4s hours before I saw
he was there for loot; he was then
taking everything he could lay his
hands on from everybody, and L ex-
pect he got the lions share" Senator
Carmack asked "you don't know of
a single dishonest act on the part of
Aguinaldo, yet you regard him as a
theft" Admiral Dewey said: 81
think shan't answer that question:,
and taking his hat and bowling, left
the room.
