TRIBUTE TO SCHLEY
CONTINUED ovATIoNs TO THE
 REAR-ApMIRAL.
Shook Hands with about 1000 Boys and Girls-Knight Templars Give Ball in Honor of the
 Naval Hero.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. so.--Admiral Schley as the guest of the Louisville Knights Templars, had little opportunity to rest today. From 10 o'clock in the morning, when he visited the Girls High School until he left the Knights Templar ball at midnight. every moment of his time was occupied. The greater portion of the day was spent among children and the Admiral shook hands with about f,5oO boys and girls. who expressed their pleasure by cheering their visitor and pre- senting him flowers.
 The most enthusis stic demonstration of Admiral SchIeys visit took place this afternoon as he was leaving the Penden- his Club for the Masonic Widows' and Orphans Home. As he stepped into his carriage. 1t was surrounded by hundreds of cheering men ss9nen and child Fen, who pressed around him, eager to shake his hand.
 The days program for the entertain ment of the Admiral consisted of visit to the Girls High School. followed by a breakfast at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Henry T. Jefferson; a trip to the tobacco brakes. a luncheon at the Pendennis Club, and in the afternoon a visit to the Masonic Home and the Industrial School of Reform. The chief event, however, was the Templars' reception and ball at the Gait House tonight.
 Several hundred uniformed Knights and their ladies were present. and the ball. room of the hotel was elaborately deco rated. The Admiral and Mrs. Schley, the former in his Templar uniform, with Grand Commander F. T. Jefferson of Kentucky and Mrs. Jefferson, surrounded by a committee of fifty Knights, occu- pied a position on g. dais at one end of the room, in front of a great Rear Ad- mirars flag. surmounted by an immense American banner. on which Schley's name was formed by electric lights. while a long line of Knights and their ladies passed by and shook the Admirais hand.
 Following the reception came the ball. which was opened with a grand march led by Admiral Schley and Mrs. Jefferson and Mir. Jefferson and Mrs. Schley. This ended the days program. and Admiral Schley returned to the residence of Ma rion E. Taylor, his host during his stay fin this city. Tomorrow morning Admiral and Mrs. Schley will take a much needed rest and at o'clock in the afternoon will leave for Nashville.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. Jan. 30-The House today passed the bill for the creation of a per- manent census bureau. The friends of the civil service law who were opposed to making the employees of the bureau eligible for transfer or retention were overwhelmingly defeated. By the terms of the bill the permanent organization will succeed the present temporary or ganization, July 1, 1902. and /all employees on the rolls upon the date of the passage of the act will become eligible for trans fer to other departments or retention in the permanent organization. The bill also provides for a manufacturing census in 1905 and collection of certain special statistics annually.
 Early in the session a bill was passed for the protection of the lives of miners in the territories.
 After some preliminary minor business today in the House. committees were caII- ed, and Mir. Moody (Ore.), from the Com mittee on Mining. presented bill for the protection of the lives of miners in the Territories. It provides that in every mine over 100 feet in depth the mine owners will be required to provide 800 cubic feet of pure air for every fifty miners.

PEACE Is IN SIGHT ,
PHILIPPINE RESURRECTION IS
 NEARING AN END.
Rebels Have Broken Up Into Small Bands and are Fleeing for Shelter-Good Work of
 the Constabulary.

Manila, Jan. 3o.-The general outlook for pacification in the archipelago. ev- erywhere outside the island of San1ar. has never more favorable since the orig inal outbreak of the Filipino instruction than at the present time. The insurgents have been broken up into small bands and are everywhere fleeing for shelter. They surrender daily, are captured Of are killed. The policy of recommendation and the stern measure of closing the ports to commerce have accomplished everything expected of them. General Chaffee still hopes that by the end of February the Island of Samar alone will remain not pacified. Those provinces bordering on the provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in Southern LuZon, have lary, who have done excellent work.
 The members of the United States Phil ippine Commission are proud of this con- Etabulary. which was organized follow ing their suggestion. and the greatest care is exercised in the selection of offi- cers of this force. During the past month eighty-two military posts have been handed over to the native constabulary. General Chaffee has taken effective steps to nhke sure that there will be no fric- ton between the military and civil au- thorities. The most positive orders have been issued to all military commanders to cooperate in every way with the civil authorities, without relaxing it's severity when 1t has occasion to deal with active Insurgents.

BIG FIRE IN NORFOLK.
The Bremen Seem Powerless tc Check the Flames-Several
 Buildings Destroyed.

Norfolk, Va. Jan. a.-At 2:l0 o'clock this morning, fire was discovered in the first floor of the Columbia Building on Granby Street, owned by D. Lowenberg and occupied by Browns saloon. Neddo's s restaurant. and on the upper floors by about 150 offices.
 In fifteen minutes the flames were bursting through the roof and the rear wall had fallen in. Explosions of whis- key barrels in Browns saloon blew out the front of the first and second floors and scattered the flames across the street. In less than half an hour the Atlantic Hotel anu the Virginia Club were in flames. Both of these structures adjoin the Columbia. The four-story building On the corner of Plum and Granby Streets occupied by the Johnston China Company and apartments. together with four three- story brick buildings adjoining it. were burning briskly at 2:30 o'clock, and 1t looks as though the entire eastern down" town section of the city is threatened. A half million dollars may not cover the loss.
 At 2:S5 a. m. all the north wing of the Atlantic Hotel is in flames. The wind Is blowing the fire steadily up towards Main Street Johnstons china store and flats above are completely gutted.
 At o'clock the big department stors. of Watt. Rettrew & Clay caught and is burning fiercely. The Academy of Music is in this block and will probably go next The walls of the Atlantic Hotel on the Granby Street side have fallen and those on Main Street are ready to topple. The firemen seem utterly power less to prevent the spread of the flames. No loss of life has been reported so far.

DECISIVE BATTLE EXPECTED.
Naval Engagement Will Occur Be-
 tween Colombians and Liberals.

Panama, Jan. 30.-The fleet of the Colombian Government composed of the gunboat Boyaca and Chuchuito and the armed launch General Campo. sailed from here last night. having received orders to communicate with the Colombian gen. eral Castro by all means. General Cas- tro is on the Azuro peninsula. southwest of Panama, and has not been heard from in some time.)
 An engagement between the vessels of the government and the fleet of the Colombian Liberals. composed of the gunboats Padilla. Darien and Gaitan probably will take place at Yeguala, thirty miles from here. the place where the government and liberal vessels had an indecisive encounter yesterday.
 It is learned that the reported defeat of General Castro at the hands of the liberals Is without foundation.
 General Jucio ValaZco has been ap- pointed military commander of the dis trict of Panama by the president of Colombia. Senor Marroquin. General Valazco succeeds the late General Carlos Alban, who was killed January 20. and is considered the best soldier in Colom- ba.
 It Is said on good authority that within one month the government of Colombia will have 5000 men on the isthrnus.
