REWARD FOR VALOR
Neweomb, Hodgsdon and Hobson Hon
ored by the Senate.
lEBBIIlC'S MEN EDLOGIZED
Purchase of Land Surrounding
Pearl Harbor.
NICARAGUA SHIP CANAL
In accordance with the recommendations
of the President, the Senate at the begin
ning of its session today took action in
recognition of the distinguished services
rendered recently by officers and men of
the navy and revenue cutter service.
Mr. Frye (Me.) reported from the com
mittee cn commerce a joint resolution
recognizing the gallantry of Frank H. New- |
comb, commanding the revenue cutter Hud
| son, and of his officers and men; also retir
Ing Capt. Daniel B. Hodgsdon of the rev
enue cutter service for efficient and merit- j
| orlous services in command of the cutter
High McCulIoch at Manila. The resolu
tion extends the thanks of Congress to
Ueut. Neweomb for his heroic gallantry In
the action at Cardenas, when he and his
crew rescued the Winslow and such of her
| crew as l ad not been disabled or killed, and
provides for a suitable medal of gold for
Neweomb. silver medals for his officers and
| bronze medals for the members cf his crew.
It also places Capt. Hodgsdon of the Mc
CulIoch on permanent wailing orders at
full duty pay.
The resolution was adopted without de
bate.
Mr. Hale (Me.) of the naval committee
then reported favorably a resolution ten
dering the thanks of Congress to Naval
Constructor Hobson, who, with his crew of
seven men, sunk the collier Merrimac
across the entrance to the harbor of Santi
ago de Cuba, and providing for the trans
rer of Mr. Hobson from the construction
corps of the navy to the line. The resolu
tion was also adopted.
After the resolution had been adopted
Mr. Hoar, addressing himself to the action
Just taken by the Senate, said: "All we do
and all we have done for Naval Construct
or Hobson, in recognition of his distin
guished bravery, is to extend to 1 Im by
name the thanks of Congress. But In this
case, where a deed of special heroism wis
performed, it seems to me that we ought
to recognize the men who volunteered to
accompany him on his perilous undertak
ing All were undergoing the same risk,
and the names of the entire seven ought to
be mentioned in the resolution. I would be
glad to see this chamber filled with such
heroes as those men are."
Mr. Hoar said that such recognition by
| Congress was one of the greatest marlfij of
honor tnat could be conferred upon any
man or men.
Fivs hundred years hence the descend
ants of these men would know and would
be proud to tell of the remarkable feat
they had performed. He hoped, therefore,
that Mr. Hale would consent to have the
resolution reconsidered and the names of
all of the heroes of the Merrimac inserted
in the resolution.
Mr. Perkins (Cal.) said that he had in
mind tha same suggestion, and had ob
tained from the Navy Department an ac
curate list of the names of the Merrimac
volunteers.
Mr Hale said the President, always
keenly alive to the proprieties, had sug
gested the form of the resolution in his
message to Congress, but he was certain
that the suggested amendment would meet
his approval. He therefore moved the re
consideration of the resolution, that the
names of th? crew might be incorporated.
"'r- Sewell (N. J.) delivered a eulogy of
the American soldiers and sailors. He" de
clared they were all heroes. No deed of
daring could be suggested that would not
command instantly the services of scores 1
of volunteers. Heretofore it had been the !
custom of Congress to grant the special '
i.V 'T., thanks only to men who wore \
shoulder straps, but he thought at this
time, when o'ir army was lying before the I
fortifications of Santiago, it would be well
to recognize the private soldier and the I
common sailor, who by their gallantry
turned the tide of battles and made com
| missioned officers great.
Mr Nelson (Minn.) hoped that the names
of the men who accompanied Lieut. Hob
son in his perilous undertaking would be
incorporated in the resolution. Not to
recognize thus their gallantry was, to his
mind, hostile to the spirit of American in
stitutions.
Mr Perkins said that naming the men
specifically in the resolutions would be the
establishment of a precedent that this
country could well afford to establish. He
drew a vivid word picture of the deed per
formed by the Merrimac's gallant crew.
The resolution was so amended as to in
clude the names of the crew who aecom
| panled Lieut. Hobson. and adopted,
i .Consideration of the general deficiency
I bill was then resumed.
Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, offered
numerous amendments, most of them add
ing small sums for various purposes.
Among these was a provision increasing
the salaries of the second and third assist
ant secretaries of state to 14,500 each.
For Land About Penrl Harbor.
The following amendment suggested by
Mr. Hale gave rise to considerable debate:
"For purchase, by condemnation, or oth
I erwise. of not Jess than 800 acres of land.
I at not exceeding S50 per acre, in Pearl Har
bor. Hawaiian Islands, for a coaling and
I repair station, $40,000. and for dredging the
bar in said harbor, to secure a channel of
"n? aU S ?l45a?Wthirty feCt iD depth" *105-iw0
Mr. Spooner suggested that the amend
,^I3t.Wal,U>08.!.ly drawn- He contended
that tne Hawaiian Islands had not yet be
come a part of the United States, and that
the land could not under existing circum
stances be condemned. On his suggestion
the amendment was so changed as to :nakj
the condemnation conditional upon lis be
ing practicable.
Mr. Pettigrew stated that all the land
around the harnor was owned by private
parties and that desirable for purchase by
an Lnglisnman named Campbell, tn antl
annexatlonlst. This man h id told him that
he would not part with ms property for
less than $7T> per acre; hene? it would l>e
necessary to condemn in order to secure it
at a less price. He also sail Mr. Campbell
own id the fishing rights and thus controls
the entrance to the harbor. In this connec
tion Mr. Pettigrew found opportunity to
call attention to the superior advantage of
the harbor in the Island of KLsk.i. ' If," he
said, "the goverr.ment is going to make an
appropriation for the lmprovem;nt of a
harbor In the Pacific, why not Improve one
in our own territory, and which is 1 t?*J
ml es nearer the Asiatic coast? The propo
sition simply exhibits more of tUls Inferral
nonsense about harbors which command
nothlag but water and with nobody to
The discussion thjn took the form of a
consideration of the title of the United
fia. c PearI Harb?r. In which Messrs.
Hale, Spooner. Alien. Teller, Lii.dsay and
??^"Participated. Mr. AUen contended
t ,5 wa8 a mere easement ter
mtaating with the reciprocity treaty.
Messrs. Hale and Spooner contended that It
wf? absolute grant, but Mr. Hale ad
mitted that it was practically valueless
without the power to make Improvements
and securi adjoining land.
Mr. Spooner said the United States might
as well have a grant to a harbor in the
clouds as to have ihls harbor with a pri
vate individual controlling the harbor
The amendment was agreed to.
. An amendment offered by Mr. Butler (N
C.) providing for a fish cultural station In
North Carolina and appropriating $15 000 I
for the purpose was agreed to.
Mr. Carter (Mont.) offered an amend
ment providing *100,000 for the payments
of the Inspectors, superintendents and
other employes In various forest reserva
tions, and It was adopted.

Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, made a
point of order against the amendment. He
said the proposition would Induce a week's
debate.
I'nanimous consent was given Kr. Mor
gan to make a statement concerning the
amendment. After discussing at some
length the existing situation betwen the
government and the Pacific railroads. he
said It was evident that the Nicaragua
canal was going to b> built and be built
very ?oon. When the Senate had caref Un
considered the matter he was satisfied not
a half a dozen votes would be cast agfiinst
the canal project. The people of th? United
States had discovered that a waterway
through Nicaragua was absolutely neces
sary to this country as a protection to our
coasts and as a promoter of commerce.

The House todry, by unanimous consent,
ir.'isted upon Its disagreements to the Sen
ate amendments to the Indian appropria
tion bill, and agreed to a further confer
erce.
Mr. Cannon (111.) announced continuing
inability of the conferees upon the sundry
civil bill to agree, snd moved that the
House Insist further upon Its contentions.
He pointed out that tomorrow would be
the last day of tha present fiscal year, and
unless the bill ihould pass before July 1
Congress would have to resort to a joint
resolution to make the appropriations for
the present year continuing until the new
bill could be passed. He then reviewed the
five points of difference between the con
ferees. Th?y Involve appropriations for
public buil lings at Annapolis, Md., and
BUtte, Mont., for a sanitarium and soldiers'
heme at Hjt Springs, S. !>.; for the im
provement <f the Yaquima bay. Oregon,
and legislation affecting the status of the
district attorney ill the District of Colum
bia.
Mr. Cannon said he would not be willing
to yield upon any of the points without
positive instructions, and he then pressed
his motion. The House voted to insist upon
all its disagreements. 117 members voting
in the affirmative and none in the negative.
A vote was talen upon the bill to author
ize the appointment of a military store
keeper for the at my. The bill aroused ves
terday vigorous opposition, and the House
adjourned pendirg disposal of it. the point
of no quorum being made.
Mr. Handy (Del.) renewed today the op
position and made again the point of no
quorum when the vote was taken.
A call of the House followed, and the bill
was finally passed, a quorum being dis
closed.
The House committee on the alcoholle
l'quor traffic has reported a bill favorably
making it unlawful to sell, glvj away ,*>r

upon any goverrment reservation or public

ment.
The report of the committee was written
by Mr. Ellis, and rays:
"But f?w bills before the present Con

or other government buildings within the

Frances Gould, sixteen years old, whose
parents live near 2d and G streets north
east, disappeared from home Saturday, and
her parents did not hear from her until
yesterday afternoon. They received a let
ter concerning her from Cincinnati, and It
was sent to Inspector Mattingly, who has
notified the Cincinnati police to take charge
of the fugitive.
The girl's father Is a tailor, and she has
recently beeen engaged in selling cheap
jewelry. She was wearing several articles
of the Jewelry when she disappeared. The
parents believe she was taken away by an
unknown woman. One of her companions
has told them of a conversation she had
with a woman last week, who promised her
tine clothing and good Jewelry if she would
only go away with her, and it is believed
si.e accepted the invitation and went with
her.
Inspector Mattingiy thinks the Cincinnati
police will apprehend the girl, and that she
will be returned to her parents this week.
SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE
Possibility of the Snn<lr> Civil Bill
Failing to Pass.
One of the most important appropriation
bills of the session Is likely to fall of pass
age before the beginning of the next fiscal
year unless the Senate recedes from its in
sistence upon certain amendments. This
would require the passage of a joint reso
lution before Friday to continue the appro
priations of the current year for the next
fiscal year, beginning that day.
The bill In dispute Is the sundry civil bill,
carrying appropriations of interest to every
section of the country, with many large
items concerning the District of Columbia.
The House is lesolute In its opposition to
the Senate amendments, and the vole today
was unanimous to insist upon this agree
ment.
The Senate adopted an amendment to the
bill providing for a pubii* building at An
napolis, Md., and one at Butte City, Mom.
The House resisted these amendments on
the ground that no public buiidia^a were
authorized by the House in this Congress
and that it would not bo just to mak,<- an
exception in the case of these two cities.
The Senate Insisted that AnnajJl's is the
capital of a state and that It has always
been the rule to give a public building to
state capitals. The House met this with
the proposition chit iho.e are still thrve
other state capitals unprovided with public
buildings.
Another cause of contention was a harbor
appropriation for Yaqul >a bay. Oregon.
Nearly every member of the House has a
river and harbor appropriation, and there
are strenuous objections to singling ?ut CDV
project to the exclusion of all others.
A District of Columbia item is in Ji#;>i:te
between the two houses. The Senate in
sisted upon striking out the appropriation
to pay the United States district attorney,
Mr. Davis, after Congress adjourned, it
will be remembered that the President t>p
pointed Mr. Davis district attorney and his
nomination was rejected by the Sena.e.
Thereupon the Supreme Court in the recess
of Congress appointed Mr. Davis. Tin Sen -
ate now insists that no money for ihe sup
port of district attorneys shall be u=-ed .n
cases like Mr. Davis'. Inasmuch as Mr.
Davis is holding his office under law, the
House conferees refused to cha^e the ex
isting law by a rider upon an appropriation
bill.
After the action In the House today In
which the conferees were su;>;>ori*l unani
mously, the bill went back to conference
mind it stems inconsistent that the Con
gress of ihe United States should enact laws
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicants within
a certain specified distance of a school
house or church in the District of Colum
bia. or within one mile of the Soldiers'
Home of the District. And notwithstanding
all this painstaking care on the part of our
national lawmakers, it is not necessary 'o
go outside of the four walls of the build
ing wherein these laws are enacted in order
to purchase any and all kinds or Intoxicat
ing liquors, 14 may be said by some that
such sales are a violation of existing laws.
But jr. order to remove any doubt that may
exist the American Congress should not
hesitate to pass a law which would say to
our country in no uncertain terms. Intoxi
cants ar>? not necessary incentives to need
ed and wholesome legislation.
"During the Fifty-fourth Congress a bill
passed the House making it unlawful to
sell any kind of intoxicating liquors in the
Capitol building, but it did not lieeome a
law. notwithstanding the fact that the vote
by which it passed the House was almost
unanimous.
"The testimony given In the hearings be
fore the committee will allow us to reach
but one conclusion, and that Is that the
so-called 'canteen' system adopted by cer
tain Soldiers' Homes and military posts if
detrimental, not only to the discipline and
general welfare of these institutions, but
has a general demoralizing effect and no
corresponding benefit. O. U. Howard, ma
jor general of the I*tilted States army (re
tired I. who has given the question much
consideration from the standpoint of a tnil
itarj man, says:
" 'Ever since the prospect of sending nn
army to our southern border and probably
to Cuba has been made apparent to me, my
mind has reverted to the necessity of let
ting every officer and soldier know that
alcohol will not h?dp the digestion, and that
alcoholic drink will be the best possible
means to produce unfitness for service, un
fitness to c-ndure the miasma of swamps,
and the dangers from yellow fever. I have
conversed with excellent physicians, who
say that there need be no unusual exposure
in the campaigns proposed or prospective
if proper hygienic precautions be taken,
which includes abstinence from liquors.' "
The report cites statistics compiled by
Ella M. Thatcher, national superintendent
soldiers and sailors' department of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
upon the effect of the canteen system, ill
support of this argument.

The police have not yet received any In
formation concerning the whereabouts of
Frank W. Funk, alias Harry A. Nicholson,
alias Wilson, who Is wanted for the murder
of William H. Brooks and the assault upon
and robbery of Mrs. Brooks. It has been
almost a week since the crime was commit
ted. and. so far as the police will say, they
have not the slightest clue concerning him.
If the fugitive went away on a train he
did nothing to arouse the suspicions of the
railroad men in the depot; nor did any of
the trainmen notice him particularly. In
view of the lack of information, the police
think it possible that be has not gone very
far away. Should he stop at some country
town, however, the police think lie would
be unable to conceal hu identity, for his
light hair, large Roman nose and gray
eyes are such distinct marks that persons
who had received Inspector Matlingly's
circular would certainly identify him.
As already stated, he is a carpenter, and
it is believed he may apply for work at his
trade In order to w ard off suspicion.
Detective Weedon. who went away Mon
day night to search for Funk, has not re
turned. So far as was known at head
quarters this afternoon he had obtain.-d
no information of importance.
The condition of Mrs. Brooks was re
ported at 2 p.m. today to be a little better.
