Blizzard in Michigan.

Detroit, Jan. 12.-Lower Michigan
has been in the grasp of snowstorm
that in the western part of the state
assumed the proportions of blizzard.
Lake Michigan was lashed by wind
that made it impossible for any of
the boats to leave their ports for Chi
cago. At Benton Harbor the street
car service was stalled and Sunday
trains on the Milwaukee, Benton Har-
Dor and Chicago railway had to be
abandoned. Three Rivers and Niles
report blizzard, the temperature very
low and trains delayed by snow. At
Grand Rapids the storm is the worst
of the season.

Hazino at Naval Academy,

suit of fight between Midshipmen
Robert A. Pearson. member of the
fourth class, from Concord, N. H., and
Francis G. Blasdel of New York, the

the result of Pearson's refusal to be
hazed by the upper classmen. The
upper classmen had been running

have tainted under the ordeal. He
was accused of cowardice and was re-

Farmers Tear Up Sidewalks and
Fences to Feed Furnaces.
Kansas City Jan. 12.-The lowest
temperature of the present cold spell
was four above zero at Z a. m. Zero
weather was experienced last month
but a sharp wind made yesterday the
most uncomfortable OF the winter thus
far. Yesterdays snowfall was one and
half inches. There is suffering
among the poor, owing to the high
price of coal but there is no scarcity
of coal, the yards being better stocked
now than at this time last year, it is
said. In many towns of Kansas and
western Missouri, however. fuel of any
kind cannot be had at any price and
everything combustible is being
burned-fruit and shade trees, old
buildings, sidewalks and fences.

SENATE D DISCUSS Goal
Vests Motion Likely to Displace
Statehood Debate.
HOUSE TO PASS ANTITRUST BILL
Decides to Give Right of Way to Com
bine Measure-Both Sides Expected
to Vote soiidly on Final Passage.
Forecast of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The program
for the senate for the week includes
the continuation of the discussion of
the statehood bill each day after 2
o'clock and the discussion of the mi.
litia bill during the morning hour of
each day when it is not put out by
some other matter. There is also
probability of a return at any time to
the question of the scarcity of coal in
connection with Senator Vests reso-
luton to abolish the tariff on anthra-
cite. Senator Nelson has not com
pleted his speech on the statehood
question. He said that he was not
able to say when he would conclude it,
but when he does get through Senator
Burnham will be ready to proceed. The
opponents OF the bill now make little
effort to conceal their intention to
continue the debate on the bill indefi-
nitely, with the hope that it will be
sidetracked by the appropriation bills.
The house this week will start in
earnest on the appropriation bills
The Indian and army supply bills are
be reported during the week, namely,
the diplomatic and consular, the Dis
trict of Columbia and agricultural
bills. 1t is probable that the time
given to general debate on these bills
will be consumed largely in discus
sion of general political questions.
The house will adjourn early today
owing to the sudden death yesterday
of Representative Tongue (Ore.). 1t
is the intention of Chairman Cooper
of the insular committee to call up
the Philippine coinage bill tomorrow.
II provides for the establishment of
tH& gold standard on the islands, with
"a fixed ratio for the silver peso at two
to one. The Democrats will oppose
this measure on the ground that as
the islands are part of the United
States our currency should be extend
ed to them.
In case the judiciary committee
agrees on an antitrust bill. it will be
considered as soon as it is brought
into the house. The leaders have
agreed to sidetrack everything and
give 1t the right of way whenever an
acceptable measure is formulated.
While the Democrats will urge the
adoption of more drastic bill than
will be agreed on by the Republicans,
the latter expect both sides Of the
house in the final passage to vote sol
idly for whatever measure is offered.

cumbs to Heart Failure.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Representa-
tive Thomas H. Tongue of the First
congressional district of Oregon died
suddenly at his residence in this city
yesterday of heart failure, following
an attack of indigestion.
Mr.. Tongue remained in bed longer
than usual yesterday, not rising until
about 1890 o'clock. He ate only a
light breakfast, and soon after symp-
toms of dyspepsia, from which he had
suffered before, manifested them
selves. His daughter Miss Bertha,
thinking the attack only slight one,
administered some domestic remedy
and Mr.. Tongue lay down on sofa.
He failed to get relief, however, and
the attack increased in severity. An
effort was made to get a physician,
but before any of the half dozen doc
tors who had been telephoned for
reached the house, Mr.. Tongue had
passed away. His death came as a
great shock to his colleagues in the
house, as he had been in unusual good
health during the present session. At
his bedside when the end came, were
his daughter, Miss Bertha, and an
adopted daughter Miss Ruane. Mrs.
Tongue is in Hillsboro, Mr.. Tongues
Oregon home, and to that place the
remains will be taken for interment,
leaving here at 7:45 o'clock tonight.
< congressional committee will be
appointed to escort the remains to
their last resting place. Mr.. Tongue
was fifty-nine years of age, was a law
yer by profession, was prominent In
Oregon Republican politics and had
rerved in the fifty-fifth, fifty-sixth
