Whereas the testimony shows

by discharge without honor: and
whereas the testimony shows. be
yond a reasonable doubt. that what

Therefore it is. in our opinion
the duty OF Congress to provide by
appropriate legislation, for the cor
rection OF their record, and for their
re-enlistment and reinstatement in
the army; and for the restoration to
them of all the rights of which they
have been deprived; Nand we so re-
commend"

Considerable discussion was provoked
in the House Of Representatives today
over a bill appropriating $25O,OOO for an
immigration station In Philadelphia.
Because the measure was reported by
the immigration committee a number of
members thought that committee was
encroaching on the domain Of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds,
but Mr.. Bartholdt (Mo), its chairman
said he waived his rights in the matter
inasmuch as the money was to come out
of the immigration fund
Mr.. Underwood (Ala) sought to pin
him down TO a definite statement as to
whether a general public building bill
would be reported at this session, but Mr.
Bartholdt after some hesitation, replied
that he was not prepared to say
In the same connection condemnation
was heaped upon the steamship companies
by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, who said they
were responsible for the large immigra-
tion to the United States and the gov
ernment should not encourage them by
increasing their facilities. He had. he
said. seen advertisements of steamship
companies In Europe holding out false
Inducements TO the ignorant class to go

Mr. Bennet of New York said that the

Lord. Curzon had expected to be able to
take his seat in the house of lords as a
former viceroy Of India. but Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman refused to further
his ambition In that direction on the
ground that he should have been ap-
pointed, If at all, by Balfour, the preced-
ing prime minister. Then nomination
was offered him by a number of Irish
peers. and he accepted It.
There was considerable opposition to
him In Dublin and other Irish political
centers as ''the Englishman who has
nothing to do with Ireland, and who looks
for Irish votes merely as a means of
carrying on his own political career"
One of his opponents said of him:
Lord CurzOn is not Irish, he owns no
interests or stock In Ireland. and as Sir
Charles Dixie used to say to his friends.
never interested himself In Irish affairs
because no credit was to be had from
them" Besides it argued that Curzon
would, sooner or later inherit a seat in
the lords on the death of his father Lord
Scarsdale. Meanwhile he will hold a
seat properly belonging to an Irishman.
Nevertheless Lord Curzon won, beat.
ing among other competitO1s Lords Farm
ham and Ashtown. both Irishmen. His
election will add piquancy to the contest
between him and Campbell Bannerman
for the lord rectorship of Glasgow Uni
yersity,' the election for which will take
place next month.

CASTAWAYS RESCUED
WRECKED CREW LIVED EIGHT
MONTHS ON DESERT ISLAND.

VICTORIA, b. c., January 20.-The
steamer Miowera arrived today from Aus
tralia bringing details regarding the find
ing of the castaways from the wrecked
barkentine Dundonald, who. for eight
months struggled to exist on Disappoint-
ment Island. 200 miles south OF New Zea-
land. Dundonald, with a crew OF twenty
seven, was smashed on the rocks of the
island March last. twelve being drown
ed and fifteen survivors were found at
Auckland Island. which they reached In
a rudely fashioned boat eight months
afterward. by the New Zealand steamer
Hineoma.
The castaways lived on mollyhawks
and seals. and built fire and kept 1t go
ing for seven months. until May. Cam
vas from the ship was used for covering.
Cold weather came with snow and hail.
and with their hands only they dug holes
in the ground above which huts were
built. In these they lived on mollyhawks
and seals. At first they cooked food on
the fire, but later built mud oven and
cooked food on a spit.
Built a Strange Craft.
They knew government food depot
was placed in Auckland Island. five miles
away. and finally decided to build a boat.
In July a strange looking boat was fash
ioned of crooked sticks and canvas, cloth
Ing and blankets saved from the ship
also being used. A small bone. saved from
a bird. with hole pierced in 1t was used
as needle and some wire from the ship
was used. The boat started July 81, but,
falling to find the depot, the men came
back August 8. They used four OF their
six valuable matches.

and a third In October. but these were
smashed. They then sent the first boat
ahead and after walking through brush
and scrub for fifteen miles, the food
depot was found. There was a good boat
there and, making sails from their cloth
ing, the boats crew went back to Disap-
pointment Island and brought the others
to Auckland Island. The Hineoma. pass
ing with a scientific party, saw the sig
nails and month after they reached
Auc land, rescued them.
