least legislation Congress can put on the
statute books the better. Instead Of having
an extra session of Congress, l would much
prefer that Congress should meet but once
in two years"
Mr. Loudenslager is not at all displeased
with his own record ante-electton
prophet. Several weeks before the miners
resumed their work, and at time when
things were assuming somewhat of cloudy
appearance to the republicans. Mr. Louden-
Slayer came to Washington. His remark to
Mr.. Pope, clerk to his committee, at that
time was: THE coal strike will be settled
within ten days: we will elect republican
House and uncle joe Cannon will be our
next Speaker
The strike settlement followed In five
days and the other predictions have proved
just correct.
There is but one general pension bill now
pending before Mr.. Loudenslager's COM
mtttee-a bill to Increase the pensions of
Mexican war veterans from SS to S12 a
month making the increase general.

HAD ROUGH VOYAGE
Steamer st. Louis One Day
Behind Time.
ONE OF THE CREW LOST.
WASHED OVERHEARD DURING
VIOLENT STORM.
Vessel Ran Into a Hailstorm, Whioh
Made Navigating Ship Very
Difficult.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The American
line steamer st. Louis arrived in port early
today from Southampton and Cherbours,
one day late, after a very stormy passage,
The St Louis left the channel with mod
crate breezes which later became a whole
gale with violent squalls and a very high,
dangerous sea. The gales continued In
Violence until Friday, when they fsll.
Among the passengers were: J. Allison
Bowen deputy United States consul general
at Paris, and Gen, Ben. L. Viljoen formerly
of the South African Republic
AS the st. Louis came into her dock she
showed the effects OF the rough weather.
Her tunnels were salt-incrusted, where the
spray had been dashed against them. and
one of the forward starboard boats hung q
wreck on the davits; others on the same
side were marked by dents, where the
heavy seas had struck them.
One Sailor Lost.
During the height of the storm on We'd
nesday afternoon seaman, Charles
johnson, a Norwegian, was washed over
board and lost. During almost all of ihS
trip the captain was obliged to remain on
the bridge, and most of that time the Off,
GERS were dashed to supports to keep the
seas from carrying them away.
vi November - the st. LOUIS ran into O
violent hailstorm, and the haistones were
so large that the officers had hard work
navigating the ship For days they ran the
vessel under reduced speed, with the pas
sengers behind storm doors and the sea
continually breaking over the ship and
sweeping the decks.
On Wednesday about 4 O'Clock in the aft
ernoon the storm was so fierce and the sea,
which was high, was breaking over the bow
with such force it was feared that some of
the forward boats on the starboard side
would be carried away. Orders were given
to have the boats made more secure, and 3
detail of seven men was sent up to fasten
them.
Dangerous Work for Seamen.
The seamen who undertook the work
crept along the side of the deck to the fora
ward boat They had been working but
few minutes to make it secure when
heavy sea came curling over the rail. There
was a shout of warning, and all of the men
held fast except Johnson, who was dashed
overheard. The boat was stopped but 50
wild was the sea that no aid could be given
to the man and the steamer resumed her
tourney

Despite the disfranchisement of 125,0 600 ne

A Large Number of Callers.
Until II 80 o'clock the President had all
he could do receiving the calls of senators
and representatives who had not before
paid their respects. To most of them he
extended congratulations on republican VIC
tories in November. He was especially
complimentary to South Dakota, whose
congressmen-Senators Gamble and Kit
tredge and Representatives Martin and
Burke--called on him. Every one OF the
forty-seven counties Of South Dakota gave
a republican majority in November.
The callers included Senator'S Millard,

The Floral Display.
The floral display was unusually large
On the republican side enormous floral
pieces chiefly of chrysanthemums, covered
almost every desk, while on the democratic
side there was a smaller display, and most OF
the pieces there were on the desks OF re-
pubhcans. A ship of state In immorteHes'
with sails of canvas and rigging OF rope
had been sent to Senator Plau or new
York.
The desk of the late Senator Mcmillan,
whose death occurred during the recess,
was not draped as is customary, but IN
stead OF the usual badge of mourning there
was placed there bunch of white roses
tied with a white ribbon. Senator McMtl-
lan's desk Will be occupied by Senator Wet

Senator Frye, president pro tenn. of the
Senate called the body to order at II
o'clock. Rev. F, j. Prettyman who took
the place of Rev. DR. Milburn, pronounced
and sfxtyeight senators responded to their
names.
After the Senate had notified the House
and the President of its assembling, Sem
ator Burrows of Michigan arose in his place
and formally announced to the Senate the
death of his colleague, Senator Mcmillan.
AS he pronounced the name of his colleague
his voice wavered and he bowed his head.
The moment was one filed with meaning
to every senator on the floor and the still
ness of death prevailed Mr.. Burrows told
in simple language Of the manner of the
ending Of the life of Senator Mcmillan.
The silver cord was broken and his spirit
was free he said after telling of his sud
den attack and unexpected death at his
summer home at Manchester.
I'm his DEATH" he said, 1.-The state Of
Michigan has suffered an irreparable loss,
and the Senate will lose a wise counsellor"
Senator Burrows reminded his colleagues
that with other senators he would take oc-
casion in the near future to speak a more
length concerning the life and work of Sem
ator Mcmillan.
Resolutions of regret upon hearing of Sem
ator McMillans death were then offered by
Mr.. Burrows and adopted by the Senate
and further mark of respect the Sen
ate, about twenty minutes after meeting,

capabilities Of the clerks employed In his
bureau. with the purpose Of encouraging

HURRICANE OFF HATTERAS.
Wind Reached Velocity of Eighty
Miles an Hour.
atch to The Evening Star.

Special Dspa tch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, December 1.-The sever
est storm of the season was that of last
night. The wind blew a sixty to eighty
mile hurricane off the Hatteras coast. The
wire to Cape Hatteras went down early In
the storm and communication has not beerf
restored with the cape as yet, SO it is i'm
possible to state whether not any vessels
went ashore there during the prevalence OF
the gale and the fog that preceded 1t. It
is believed, however, that the shipping Of
this coast escaped.
In this city, but thirty-six miles was re-
corded, and yet the wires are down. The
three vessels of the navy off Old Point
weathered the storm in fine shape. The
rainfall was terrific, and 1t was accom-
panied by fog. The storm down the coast
was the severeSt of the autumn season,
which has been more than ordinarily mild
along the dangerous coast near Hatteras.
The bay and Washington steamers caught
the full force of the blow in the bay, but
weathered II well. Hampton Roads was
crowded with the storm bound shipping.

BLOCKADE OF THE ORINoCO.
The State Department Satisfied With
Minister Bowen's Attitude.

The State Department is perfectly salts
fed with Minister Bowen s neutral attitude
respecting the blockade of the Orinoco river
by the Venezuelan government. According
to the departments information the min
lister has not committed this government
to a recognition Of the effectiveness of the
blockade nor has he made an issue with
the Venezuelan government by refusing to
recognize the blockade. The State Depart
ment has seen no occasion yet to make
that issue for its reports do not indicate
that American commerce has yet suffered
from the blockade 1t is believed that what
are supposed to be American vessels plying
on the Orinoco are actually sailing under
the Venezuelan flag, and are, therefore,
subject to the laws of the country.

changes of greetings and the recounting of

purpose"

PASS THE SUPPLY BILLS
Mr. Loudenslager's View of the Whole
Duty Of Congress.


Representative Loudenslager of New Jer-

sional committee and chairman of the
House committee on pensions, remarked to
a Star reporter today: What is there to do
in the way of legislation? That Is easy. If
Congress passes the regular supply bills
necessary for the maintenance Of this great
government of ours at the short session it
will have done its full duty and deserve
the commendation of the country.
Tariff revision?
mo. If the fall election demonstrated
anything, 1t was that the people are en-
tirely satisfied with the present phenomenal
prosperity Of the entire country; that tariff
revision is not wanted; and In my opinion,
It will not be attempted. Why should any
thing be done in the way of legislation to
stop our present commercial progress par
tfcularly when the result of such fegisIa-
ton is q matter of uncertainty, and when
the slightest attempt to do anything with
the tariff immediately engenders timidity
and breaks up confidence, which is the rec
ognized great factor In maintaining our
commercial stride of the present moment?

Hopeful for Favorable Legislation

II am very hopeful he said to Star re-

adequate appropriations from Congress this
session. but that we may secure the estab-
nshment Of the principle for which we have
been contending for years, that appropria-
tions for extraordinary projects Of improve
ment shall be provided for separately by
advances from the treasury to be repaid by

ample for that purpose. Even the increased
revenue Of the District will not provide
currently for these extraordinary expend-
