At the opening of today's session of the senate Mr. Jones (Ark.) Introduced a joint resolution as follows : v "That the thanks of congress and the American people are hereby tendered to Rear-Admiral Wiufleid S.

"That the president of the United States be requested to cause this resolu tion to be communicated to Rear Admtral Schley and through him to the officers and men under bis command." Without comment the resolution was referred to the committee on naval affaire. Washington, Dec. 16. At the con ference between Admiral Schley and his counsel today it was decided to ask Secretary Long to withhold his approval of the findings of the court of inquiry until such a time as the admiral, through his counsel, can tile an objection thereto. The request was delivered to Secietary Long, uud while he has not yet answered the communication It is understood the request will be granted. Euormous Lomu From High Water. PirrsnuEG, Dec. 16 The crest of the flood and the lowest point touched this winter by the mercury were both registered at 8 a. m., when the Smith field street bridge marks showed 25 feet 8 inches of water in the Monongabela river and the government thermometer indicated 5 deg. above zero. The rivers are now falling and the temperature is steadily rising. Only the sudden drop in the temperature averted one of the greatest floodB in tbe history of Pittsburg. As it was the lowest parts of the Point district and Duqnesneway and lowlands along the Monongabela river, south side, were submerged. In Alleghany the river front was entirely nnder water. The cellars in many houses were flooded and people weie compelled to move. For the rivermen and dwellers along the river banks of Pittsburg and Alle gheny it was the most fearful night experienced in many years. Similar conditions have been practically un known to this generation. Hundreds of men toiled all night with the gigantic coal tows np to the landings on both sides of all three rivers, in tbe face of a bitterlv cold wind. Drenched at times with the splashed foam, their clothes frosa on them immediately and tbe suffering was great. Almost Hutrvad to Death. Sbattlb, Dec. 18. With no food save a morsel of dry floor, Martin O'Connor, formerlv of Seattle, and two companions, wandered three days through tbe Upper Tanana valley. Advices were received in this eity today giving tbe story of this journey, caused by tbe burning or the party ,s cabin on the Cheona river, at tbe headwaters of tbe Tanana. The thraa man had been prospecting The burnina of the cabin, which occurred about two months ago. left nothing save a little flour In a lard pall. They started across tbe Tanana divide for Eagle City to aet heln. Fur three days they jour neved. eeelna nothinc to raise their hones and getting no food of any kind save what they bad with them. Then they came on a cabin. It was deserted and empty. Three days later, after tbe same toil and hardship that tbe three former days had seen, tbay found ar otber caoin. It also was emntv. O'Connor's com Dininn. L. .tn.n to die. O'Oonner. however, looked about tbe premises and found a cache. The food from it saved their lives. They then kept on, after a rest, until thav found another stream, on which was a prospector, who directed them to Eagle. Tbay are now at Dawson 'or the winter. Rayner and Mr. A. A. Teagoe, counsel for Admiral Schley before the court of inquiry, held a consultation with tbeir client today for the purpose of outlining their future course of action. Admiral Dewey, president of the court, today was asked for the statement as to the extent to which be supported tbe find inns of the maj irity of the court. ''1 have not a word to say," he replied, "not a word." ' Since the court of inquiry rendered its verdict, Rear-Admiral Schley has re ceived a large number of letters anon telegrams, all containing expressions of confidence and esteem, and offers of assistance. To answer tbeee personally would be a work of such magnitude that tbe admiral has addressed the following letter to the Associated Press, which he asks to be published : "Washington, D. C, Dec. 16 To the Associated Press: I beg to express, through the medium of tbe Associated Press, my gratitude and heartfelt thanks for the kind words and evidences of interest in my welfare which I have received from all parte of the United States. The magnitude of the corre spondence renders it impossible for me personally to acknowledge tbe same, and I therefore take this means of express ing my appreciation to one and all. Very troly yours, "WlNKIELD ECOTT ?CHI.KY, "Rear-Admiral, U. S. N." Snglaud Fears Ireland May Rebel. Duhux, Dec. 16. Large numbers of Constabulary have been drafted to im portant points in Mayo and Roscommon and a proclamation placing both coun tries under the crimes aot is expected to be issued immediately. This influx of extra police is unprecedented since tbe days of Captain Boycott. Nationalist members of parliament and United Irish League apaaers have been most active in Mayo and Roscommon, recently preach ing forcible resistance to tbe authorities. Dublin's reception of Messrs. Bed mond. McHngh and O'Donnell on their return from tbe United States will take the form of a torchlight procession and addressee by speakers who have been moat active in Mayo and Roscommon.
