NATION TO MARK GRAVES
Foraker Sill to Care for Resting Place
of Confederate Cead in Northern
Cemeteries is Passed.

A Washington special says: The
house at Thursdays session passed
the army appropriation bill, also the
Foraker bill providing for the mark
ing of the graves of confederate dead
buried in the north.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama made q
plea for the creation of confederate
memorial commission Of three men,
bers to Investigate and report the
proper steps to mark the graves OF
the confederate dead and offered an
amendment to that end.
Mr.. Hull stated that mis- committee
had reported the Foraker bill, which
practically accomplished the ends
sought. Mr.. Underwood replied that
this applied only to confederate dead
in the north Mr.. Williams Of Mis-
sissippi, urged Mr.. Underwood to with.
draw his amendment on the ground
that all that the confederate veterans
and the women of the south wanted
was the provision Of the Foraker bill;
that the confederate dead in the south
should remain sacred to the care OF
the south.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio commended
Mr.. Williams statement and express
ed the hope that there would be no
opposition to the Foraker bill, which
he regarded as forging another link
in welding the north and south.
Immediately Mr.. Prince Of Illinois
asked and secured unanimous consent
for immediate consideration Of the
bill.
The bill provides for the erection
of white marble headstones over the
graves and the fencing Of the same.
A commission is authorized to locate
the graves. After brief discussion
the bill was passed amid general ap-
plause.

A CALORIC C0L0QUY.
Takes Place Between Senator Morgan
Of Alabama and Witness Cron1-
we'll Bef-re Senate Committee.

A Washington dispatch says: The
letter from William Nelson Cromwell
to the late Secretary Hay, dated in
1898, was taken up Friday by Senator
Morgan in the examination OF Mr..
Cromwell before the senate commit
tee investigating canal affairs.
The period covered by the letter
was when the Panama Canal company
was seeking prolongation of its con-
cessions in the isthmus. The letter
referred to an enclosure and Crom-
we'll repeatedly declined to state the
nature of the inclesure or to discuss
the correspondence in any manner.
Extraordinary political conditions in
Bogoto were referred to in letter,
and Morgan asked concerning this ref
erence and when the witness declined
to discuss, the senator asked whether
the witness felt that he was obliged
to conceal any actions that were
against the interests Of the United
States.
Il refuse to answer such hypothet-
ical and !mpertinent questions" said
Mr.. Cromwell.
I am compelled by the attitude OF
this committee to accept your un-
usual and indecent replies" replied
Mfr. Morgan.
"Tney are no more unusual or In
decent than your questions" asserted
the witness.
Senator Taliaferro of Florida inter
rurted and demanded to know where
{ in the question was indecent, and the
witness said the indeeency was In
the assumption that he had been em-
ployed to do anything against the In
terests Of the United States. Mr.. Tai
iaferro then demanded that the wit
ness be instructed not to make in.
sulting replies.
Chairman Millard said he thought
the character Of the reply by the wit
ness was uncalled for, and Senator
Kittredge suggested that the questions
should be couched in different lam
guage. "rhis is not the first time I
have noticed an inclination on the
part of the witness to insult hts In
terogators," said Mr.. Taliaferro.
Mr.. Morgan said he entertained no
resentment Of insults from the wit
ness; that he had too much self-re-
spect for that. He counselled his col
leagues not to concern themselves il
his behalf. 49,

TENTHOUShNDDEAD
As Result Of Awful Storm on
South Pacific islands.
LARGE CITY INUNDATED
FriqhtfuI Disaster Occurred in the
Society and Tuamota Groups and
Was Most Destructive Ever
Known.

The San Francisco Evening Post
says that 10000 persons perished
during the storm on Tahiti and ada
cent islands, several Of which, it's
account says, have disappeared. 1t
places the damage at s5,OO0,00O. These
reports have not been confirmed by
the officers of the steamer Mariposa,
which brought the news of the dis
aster from Papeiti, Island of Tahiti.
A dispatch from I'apeiti says: The
nest destructive cyclone ever expert
enced in the Society and Tuamotu
Islands occurred on February Z and
S. The damage in Tahiti is estimated
at s1,000,000, and presumably similar
amount of property was destroyed on
the Tuamotu Islands.
The city of Papeiti was inundated,
and about seventy-f1ve buildings de-
stroyed, including the American con-
sulate and the French government
building. The shipping in the harbor
Of Papeiti escaped injury, owing to
the direction of the wind, but fears
are entertained for vessels which were
cruising near the Tuamotu Islands.
aged, on the Island of Tahiti. Bread
fruit, banana, cocoanut and plantain
trees were blown down in great num-
bers, which will result in hardships
to the natives and materially affects
commerce during the next two or
three years.
The French gunboat Zeelee has
gone to the Tuamotu Islands with
supplies of food ana fresh water. The
British consul has appealed to his
government for a:d for 500 British SUBJ
jects. Some Americans have sustain
ed heavy losses and probably there
will be few instances Of utter desti-
tuition. The Americans are hopeful Of
securing help from the United States.
Money and food is required.
The cyclone or hurricane, reached
the velocity Of 120 miles an hour. 1t
struck the islands about midnight on
February Z, and continued until about
4 o'clock on the next afternoon. The
island Of Anaa, Tuamotu group, is be-
lieved to have been the center of the
storm.
