Waslilngton, Jan. 19. Almost the
entire seasioit of tha senate today was
levolad to cousideratioruof tin tml-
g Mcaiagiia canal bill. AtSo'clock,
consideration of the bill under the 15-
inttto rule was begun, ami was con
tinued to tha cloae of the session.
Tha first (Ota reauhad was on an
ineniliuent offered by Rawlins, of
I 'lab. which, In brief, provides that
the United Htutes should have absolute
control of tlio canal fur military or
naval purmaes, with power to dictate
the um) of the waterwary during the
xiatetice of war. The friends of the
pending bill rallied sgainst the amend
ment and it was defeated by the de
cisive vote ol 88 In 9. A provision was
Inserted in the bill providing that no
more than 15,000,000 should be paid

concession ami work alieaity done on
tha canal.
When adjournment wal taken, the
substitute tneasuie offered by Cattery,
of Louisiana, waa before tho aennto.
The home tamed tha naval parson-
net bill without division on final pas
luge, thus accomplishing what the offi
cers of the navy have striven for during
mora than a docadu. Uy its provisions,
tho line and tha engineer corps ate
elded into an amalgamated line, staff
oflkers sre given iiositive rank, but
their command is limited to their own
oorps, ami a system or. voluntary ana
compulsory retirement on, three-quar
ters psy, as of the next higher rank ol
0 officers a year is established which
is designated lo remove the congestion,
in the lower rauk at 45. The bill prac
tically also equalizes their pay with
that of aricy officers. '
The Unco imiHirtant amendments
were adopted; one creates a judge-ad
vocate corps, another abolishes prise
money, and a third provides lor the
retirement on tliree-qnarteis pay of en
listed men and petty oflloors in the
navy after SO years' service. l)ut the
most Impoitant change in the bill as
reiHirted was the addition after a bard
tight of a substitute for the organisa
tion of the marine corps, by which the
oorps is to consist of 0,000 enlisted
men aud petty officer", with general
office a ami staff. This will increase
the marine corps by 1,300 men, and in

Washington, Jan. 19. President Mo
Kinley announced to the cabinet at the
regular meeting today that ho has de
termined to court-martial Commissary-
Oeneial Kagan. Alger was not at the
cabinet meeting, but was with Adju-
tant-Ueneral Corbin at the White
House in conference with the president
on the subject just prior to tho cabinet
session. An order fur the couit-uiartial
probably will bo made today.
Just prior to tho cabinet meeting
General Miles made a rather unusual
call upon two of the members of the
onbinet, Hay and Long. Ho hail just
returned to tho city from New loik,
and when spoken to with reference to
the Eagan case, adhered to his oiiglnal
declaration that this was not the time
for him to act, if at all, leaving the
implication that if tlio commission or
the administration did not act it would
then bo time for him to tnko some
steps.
Contrary to tho general expectation,
no announcement of the personnel of
tho Kugin couit-m.irtial was made at
the war department up to the close of
business lint afternoon. Adjutant'
(leneral Corbin, at tho last moment, in
reply to a question said that be had
nothing whatever to make public
touching the Kagan case.

and all but one of the boys shot under

by running back to the school to give
the alarm, instead of notifying resi

beon recovered. -

Ito. As none bad been distributed in

there might havo been some motive in

litle malicious destruction of the bills
printed, a resolution was paused direct

New York. Jan. 18. According to
Brigadier-Oeneral Jose Miguel Uoines,
member of the Cuban commission in
Washington, tha Cuban army is sura to
lecoive tlia three years' pay to"hich
It is entitled, f 10,000,000 being ad
vanced by tbe United Ktates, with the
custom-bouses of Cuba as security for
its payment.
BrigatheMieneral Gomea, who has
Just at lived in this city from Washing
ton, Is grateful foi the way the oom mis
sion baa been received. The negotia
tions, it is expected, will be completed
by tbe end of this month, when the
oom m ins ion will tetutn to Cuba. Uen
era) (Jomes said last night: -
Our hopes have all been realised.
At first, however, things looked dark
for us. Poor tieneial Oarcia was the
moat pessimistic member of the com
mission. He had little nope for tha
success of our plans when he left for
Washington. T';e rest of the commis
sion argued, however, that as the
Americana bad aken charge of Cuba
and thus prevented ua from raising
money, we had a light to request a loan
with which to pay off our men. Gen
eral Oarcia asked for only $100 tor
each man.
"The other commissioners protested
because of tbe small amount. Then
came the general's death, and for the
time being negotiations ware suspend
ed. At our next meeting it was agreed
that an official list of the men in the
Cuban army would lie required before
any agreement coold be readied. Ao
coidiugly, I left for Cuba, whence I
returned on Jannary 6 with the re
quired document.
"There aio 47,000 men to ba paid in
the Cuban army. The amonnt we
have requested is $40,000,000, to be
turned over to oa either in one or thiee
payments. We will give as security
the custom-houses in Cuba. Should
the government not rare to lend os
that sum, we are willing to take one
third of it and later pay the men the
rest
"As affairs now stand, I think we
will receive the amount in thiee pay
ments. This, however, is not decided
yet. The late Mr. Dingley was in fa
vor of giving us the amount in one pay
ment"
Speaking of the present condition of
affairs in Havana, Ueneral Uomex
said it waa bad.
"There appears to be much disagree.
ment among the American soldiers,"
be continued, "and no one seems to
know what bit power is. Some one
givea an order, aud the next man coun
termands it As a result the govern
ment of Havana is not at smooth as it
might be.
"Ueneral Brooke, however, is
liked, and the Cubans are more
willing to help him. General

than
Lud-
low'a orders preventing the
from from taking any part
Cubans
in the
'evacuation parade,' caused a great deal
of ill-feeling. This is now done away
with, and there need be no fear of a
olash between the Cubans and the
Americans.
'The American soldiers are a fine
set ot men, and do not give any trou
ble. We aro done with war, and want
peace, but nevertheless we would never
tolerate tl e condition of affairs which
is teported to exist in Porto Rica
"Ueneral Brooke, I am told, is about
to name a committee of Cubans, who
will act as his advisers. Mendel Cap
ote, president of the assembly at Santa
Crus del Sur, will be placed at the
bead of the commission.
"General Maximo Gomes will re
main in the field until the army is dis
banded. Ha will then make his home
n Havana. After the men in tbe
army are paid off, we will try to prove
to this country that wo ara fully ablo
to govern Cuba.
"The paying off of the army is the
most important move toward establish
ing trauqumlity on tho island. It we
should not be able to raise the money
trouble with tbe men would follow."

INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.

Hlata Frlatar.
Salem, Or., Jan. 17. The legisla
ture is aa yet devoted chiefly to the
preliminary work of receiving new bills
and is still so far ahead of tha printer
that committees have notiiing to do.
But one measure baa reached the acute
atane. and that is the bill to add two
justices to the supreme court. Having
passed the bouse last week it is now in
the senate, where it rests awaiting its
second reading The bill is warmly
supported, and it looked last week as
if it were bound to pass; but it loses
steadily onder discission, and its
chances are now very dubious. Objec
tion to it so far as it is expressed ap
pears to test chiefly or wholly on the
question of its constitutionality.
The general proceedings today weie
of a perfunctory and monotonous kind.
Introduction and first reading of bills
occupied tbe whole time in both houses.
This ia likely to lie the order for the
balance of tbe week. The usual flood
of propositions, wise and otherwise,
is pouring in, the greatest number of
course, being destined to die in com
mittee. Twenty-two bills were intro
duced in the senate this afternoon.
Halt a dozen weie read the second
time, and one authorizing the town of
Antelope to borrow (5,000 to build
water-works was passed. A bouse
joint memorial to congieaas for pen
sions for Indian war veterans, the
same as Mexican war veterans, was
concurred in.
A house resolution for the investiga
tion of tbe affairs of the school land
board was concurred in.
Tha lloaaa.
The bouse convened at 3:30 this
afternoon, pursuant to adjournment
The proceedings opened with the sec
ond resiling and reference of bills, but
owing to the fact that the state printer
bad not caught up with printing, the
house returned to tbe first reading and
introduction of bills. Eight bills were
lead the second time ami referred to
the proper committees. One was passed
end two weie withdrawn. The bill
that passed was Whitney's, to amend
the city charter of Albany.
WASHINGTON'S SENATE.
Protaat Against tha Kxclnaioa af Allans
From Laka Atlla.
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 17. In the
senate on motion of Land, . Judge Mc
Gilvra, of Seattle, was granted permis
sion to address the senate. Inasmuch
as it had been announced that Judge
McUilvra bad np a senatorial lightning
rod, there were some quizzical expres
sions on the faces of several senators
who are prominent in state politics.
Judge McUilvra, steppinsg inside the
circle, relerred, in a fotensio style of
oratory to the death of Congressman
Dingley, and, at the conclusion of his
statement, asked for the consideration
of a resolution petitioning the presi
dent to appoint in bis Btead on the
joint American-Canadian high commis
sion a resident of the Pacific North
west. Senator Preston suggested that it
might be well to wait until Dingley
was buried before proceeding to fill Ini
shoes. A discreet smile passed about
the oircle, whereupon Senator Schofield
proposed that the resolution be made a
special order for tomorrow.
Senator Hamilton then asked, inas
much as the resolution had been pie
seuted by a gentleman not a member,
in what position it came before the
senate. There was a moment s hesita
tion, during which tbe chair thought
it possible to receive the communica
tion, and finally Senator Preston said
be would stand back of? it. That was
acceptable to Hamilton, and, on motion
of Crow, the document was tefeired to
the committee on memorials.
The house resolution protesting
against the exclusion of aliens from
the Atlin mining district by the Cana
dian government was adopted 37 to 4
Hall, Preston, Remhait and il
shire voting no.
Sanatoria.! Choice on Ticket.
In the house the veto messages of
the governor were taken up. The veto
of the bill providing for the survey and
location of a roadway from Montesano,
Chehjtlis county, to 13 rook bold, Witbkt
aknm county, was sustained.
The bill creating a state road along
the Columbia river from Lyle to Wash
ougal.was vetoed, because the pioposod
road parallels a navigable river, the
governor holding this to be against
good public policy in the straitened
condition of state finances.
. Representative Moore, as the author
of the bill, stated it to be his wish that
the veto be sustained, because there is
no time now to enter into the merits of
the bill, and his wish was simultane
ously respet ted.
Colonel Patterson, of Kitsap, pre
sen ted a petition for a fish hatcheiy in
Kitsap county.
Colwell presented a petition fiom
Cowlita county for a law restraining
live stock from at large.
Judge McUilvra was accorded 1Q

Just what time the disaster which
resulted in such appallling loss ot life
occurred ia not known, as every per
son on board the vessel went to the
bottom of the Sound with it.'
The ship, which . waa of English
build, and worth probably $150,000,
entered this port several days ago. She
was to have loaded wheat under char
ter to Eppinger & Co., of San Fran
cisco, for Europe. Yesterday she was
taken to the Eureka dock and all bal
last removed and the hold cleaned, pre
paratory to receiving cargo. She was
then towed to ad anchorage several
hundred yards northeast ot the St
Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company
deep-water wharf, at which point dis
aster overtook her. She had out, ac
cording to the best information ob
tainable, tbe starboard anchor, weigh-
ng at least three tons, white to either
side of tbe vessel were attached the
ballast logs used to keep a Bhip upright
during the absence of cargo or ballast.
The ship was riding tbe wave serenely
when the skippers of other vessels an
chored close by retired the night before.
When daylight dawned no signs of tha
Andelana were visible Over the spot
where she rode serenely at anchor the
night before only a danger-signal buoy
lamp was visible. When the absence
of the ship was discovered. Captain
Doty and Captain Burley took the tng
Fairfield aud made an investigation,
and it was soon determined beyond
possibility of doubtl that the ship bad
gone to the bottom.
One of the ballast logs was found.
To it dangled part of the chain by
lich it w as originally fastened to the
ill-fated ship. In addition, one of tbe
lifeboats, a mattersa with the name of
the ship on it, and several oars, weie
found. Beyond these no other wreck
age has be vri discovered.
As all on board perished, onlv sur
mises as to the cause of the disaster
are prevalent. Judging from indica
tions, shipping men say, tbe ballast log
found was from the port side ot the
vessel. She ship, according to all ac
counts, was headed in a southerly di
rection, or towaid the head of tho bay,
at tbe time tbe gale swept down the
Sound. The heavy winds caused the
ship to train on the chains, making tbe
log on the weather side taut and giv
ing a tendency to lift the log from the
water, but the strain was too great for
one ot the chains, and it snapped.
This released the towering oraft fiom
the greater restraint on the weather
side, and she lifted with the wind, and,
there being little restraint fiom the
other end of the log, raised it enough
to allow the right or mooring chain to
slip off. Thus freed from ballast and
floating like a chip, the ship careened
under the pressure of the heavy galo,
and shipped great quantities of water,
filling completely the hold and fore
castle, causing her to capsize and sink
to tbe bottom, all in a very few min
utes.
The situation was further aggravated
by the fact that the tides wero just
setting in at the time the ship went
down. This in all probability foroetl
the stern of the vessel around and ex
posed the broadside to the gale's fury.
Late this afternoon the ill-fated ves-.
Bel was located. She lies on the bot
tom of tho Sound, on her broadside,
under 33 fathoms of water, close by the
spot where sbe had been anchored. :
