The River and Harbor Appropriation Bill Under ConsideratlonLittle Progress Was Made-Chairman Barton's . Explanation. By Telegraph to the Mernlng star. Washington, January 9. The army canteen is to be abolished, as the Sen ate to day by a very decisive vote con curred in the House provision relative to the canteen in the Army Reorgani zation bill. Most of the session was occupied by. Senators Teller of Colo rado, Pettigrew of South. Dakota, and- Butler of North Carolina, who all op posed the adoption of the Senate com mtttee's amendment, which provided for a continuance of the canteen. -It seems doubtful whether a final vote upon the Army bill will be reached before Friday or Saturday. A resolution was adopted calling for copies of all papers and correspondence in the Department of State subsequent to 'July 1st, 1897, relating to its action looking to an ad justmentof the claims of B R. Henry and other American citizens against Great Britain in regard to lands in the Fiji Islands; also, whether any. action has been taken in pursuance ot a resolution of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, adopted by the Senate June 4th, 1896. Consideration of the Army Mil was then resumed, the pending . question being the canteen amendment. Senator Gallin ger said that he had been told by a prominent officer of the army that the four hundred' and five American saloons in Manila were licensed by the American government there and' he believed they could be completely abolished. rff 'I do not know the reason jothe conditions in Manila," said Senator Lodge, "but I do know that under the command of General Ludlow, the establishment- of saloons absolutely was stopped in Havana." Senator Lodge gave notice of an amendment prohibiting the importa tion of distilled liquors into the Philip pines except for m dicinal purposes. Senator rettigrew made a charac teristic attack upon the pending bill, devoting some time to a criticism of the Senate committee for not bring ing into the Senate a more elaborate report in support of the measure, which he complained dealt almost exclusively with the canteen pro vision. Senator Pettigrew said that the President had refused to obey the act of Congress prohibiting the sale of liquor on army reservations and had "directed" his attorney general to write an opinion in support of his refusal. . In response to questions by Senator Mallory, Senator Pettigrew said he bad no doubt the attorney general couid find "not reasons, but words for over riding the provision proposed by the House," as he had found them for over-riding the present law." The House bill appropriating $ 127, 000 for payment of electoral messen gers was passed. Senator Butler, North Carolina, then addressed the Senate in support of the House provision of the brll re lating to the canteen. Senator Gtallinger moved that the amendment of the committee be laid on tbe table. The motion was car ried 34 to 15. The effect of tbe vote is to restore to. the bill the House provision abolish ing the army canteen so far as the sale of any kind or intoxicants is con cerned. The section as it now stands is as follows: The sale or dealing in beer, wine or any intoxicating liquors oy any person in any post exchange or can teen or armv transport or upon any premises used formilitary purposes by the United 8tates is hereby prohibited. The Secretary of War is hereby di rected to carry the provisions of this section into full force and effect." At 5 35 the Senate adjourned. House of Representatives. Tbe House to-day considered the River and Harbor Appropriation. bill. Liittie progress was made, in a bill carrying such a vast sum for local im provements many localities are pound to be disappointed and soreness out cropped in several places to day, the disaonointed members refusing to allow any limit to be placed on the . . , general debate. Mr. Burton, chairman oi me uom mittee on Rivers and Harbors, who is in charge of the bill, made an elabor ate explanation of its provisions. He said the 8undry Civil bill would carry about $8 000.000 on contracts previ ously authorized. Tbe total of direct annroDriationa for rivers ano naroors for the next fiscal year would; there fore, aggregate about 132,000,000. Mr. Burton proposed figures to show that the enormous tonnage car ried up and down the lakes warranted the extensive appropriations they had received. He explained that the Missouri river commission had been abolished by the bill because while over $11,000,000 had been expended on that river it had less commerce to day than thirty years ago. Mr. Corliss, of Michigan, attacked the bill for not giving proper recogni tion to the Great Lakes deep-water way project. He contended that with a few exceptions it was not iramea in the interest of the general commerce of the country. Mr. Bishop. Michigan, denied that the committee had shown favoritism to Particular localities and defied Mr, Corliss to particularize. It was only natural, be said, that tbe states repre sented bv the members of the com mittee had received the great bulk of the aooroonations in the bill. At 5.05 P. M. the House adjourned.

Held Solely Responsible for Propagation of Yellow 'Fever Dr. ReedV Investigations. . By Cable to tbe Morning Star. Havana, January 9. The Ameri can commission, under tbe superin tendence of Dr. Reed, which has been making experiments at Quemadosas to the propagation of the yellow fever germs by the mosquito, has obtained extremely satisfactory results. Dr. Reed says the experiments show beyond doubt that there is no con tagion from an infected person or from infected clothing, but that the mosqui toes alone . are responsible for the spread of the disease. In the course of the commission's investigations six non-immune persons were infected by the bite of mosquitoes which had pre viously bitten yellow fever patients, and five of these developed yellow fever. - The last experiment made proved conclusively. Dr. Reed contends, the theory of propagation by mosquitoes. A special building was constructed of disinfected material, and one of the rooms was divided into two sections by a wire mosquito screen. In one section were placed disinfected bed ding and clothing, and in the other bedding and clothing from the yellow fever hospital which had not been dis infected. Two non immunes occupied the two sections. In the former were put several infected mosquitoes. The patient remained in his room only long enough to be bitten, and in four days a pronounced case of yellow fever developed. The patient is now convalescent. The other subject slept in the infected building for many nights and has not contracted the fever. Both patients have been sleeping for twenty nights in garments worn by yellow fever victims and in bed ding from the yellow fever hospitals. Dr. Reed says they are growing fat and that in no instance, in the course of the commission's investigations, has a case of yellow fever developed from exposure to infected bedding or clothing. IN NEW YORK HARBOR. Fire Among Shipping Steamer Idlewild Destroyed Other Vessels Damaged. The Loss $500,000. By Telegraph to tne Morninsr star. New York, January 9. In an early morning fire on the Erie basin front, that lighted up all South Brooklyn, Beard's Shipping Stores, at the foot of Richards street, were partly destroyed, an excursion steamer, the Idlewild, was burned to the water's edge; one fireman was injured and close upon fifty seamen narrowly escaped with their lives. Tbe total loss is estimated at $500,000. The fire started, no one knows how. on board the Idlewild about 1 o'clock. The steamer was lying just inside the breakwater, from which point she drifted as soon as she was cut loose. directly across the Erie basin and up against one of Beard a pier heads. Soon the big covered pier, where jute and cotton were stored in bales, was in flames. Fire Chief Croker hurried over from New York. The steamship Coya, which recently arrived from Callao, was cut adriit from the burning pier shed and worked out into. the basin. There her crew fought the flames with the deck hose, and soon had the flames under control. On the other side of the pier was lying the tramp steamship St Dun stan, from Liverpool, with a cargo of fruit and sugar. er crew managed to get ashore, while the fireboata took care of the abandoned ship, quenched tbe flames after her deckhouse had caught fire and her port side was badly blistered and then set her adriit. The Idlewild meanwhile had burned to the water's edge and a couple of lighters also had been destroyed. Fire tugs and engine companies poured their streams into the burninsr stores, but could only prevent the fire from spreading. By 4 o'clock the flames had died down to a smoulder. IN RAILROAD CIRCLES. The Vanderbllts' Plan for a Through Transcontinental Line Their Own. of By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. New York, January 9. The Mail and Express says: "William K. Vanderbilt's plan for the welding together of the Union Pa cific and Chicago and. Northwestern railroads, which he conceived more than a year ago, is now about to be carried out. When it is completed it will be found that the Vanderbllts have a through trans-continental line of their 'own from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. "The original scheme was to lease the Union Pacific to the Northwestern, but it is not yet certain whether this will be done or not. The control ot the former is to be acquired through the purchase of a majority of Union Pacific .stock, and this is being done in the open market. "Tbe Vanderbllts already have a considerable representation in - the Union Pacific directory. "It was reported in Wall street to dav that the new alliance would be still further enlarged by the addition of other railroads in the Central West. including the Alton and Rock Island." James J. Hill, in an interview to day, outlined what he and his associ ates in tbe giant railroad "community of interests," are trying to accomplish. Instead ot a combination or great rail roads under one system, he said he was trying to bring about an agree ment between certain systems of tbe Northwest by which "friction" would be prevented, and roads operated more economically.

Passengers and Crew of Steamship Stranded on the French Coast. a FUTILE EFFORTS AT RESCUE. All Attempts of Life Savers to Reach the Vessel Prevented by tbe High Seas. A Thousand Anxious Watchers Along the Shore. By Cable to the Morning Star. Marseilles, January 9. Dispatches from the village of Faraman, near which the French mail steamer Russie, from Oran, Algeria, stranded Monday in a violent storm, with fifty passen gers and a crew of forty on board, say that all efforts to reach the steamer havp failed, owing. to the tremendous height of the seas which are running. The pilot boats and torpedo boats which have attended to reach .the steamer have been unable to battle with the waves and have returned. The only hope seems to be in the ability of life savers to throw a line over the Russie as the wrecked vessel is driven closer to the shore. The forecastle and part of the forward deckhouse : are all of the vessel remaining above water. A 6ignal message was received at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the Russie saying all on board weie alive, but begging for succor. The sea has slightly moderated, but up to the pre? eat all attempts at rescue have failed. When nightfall yesterday en shrouded the Russie quite a number of the crew and passengers were seen clinging to the forerigging and to the rails, making despairing signals for succor, which those ashore were powerless t afford. The gale increased in fury all night . long and though: a flickering light was perceived from time to time, apparently waved by those on board to attract attention, it was feared the steamer would either break up or disappear in the shifting sands before morning. A thousand persons awaited along the shore and the fishermen prepared to launch a boat at the first sign of the abatement of the hurricane. When day broke it was a great relief for the watchers ashore to find that the bow and other parts of the forepart o' the ship were still above water, though the stern bad completely vanished. A group of men huddled on the steamer's bow re newed their mute appeals for help. As the day wore on more persons appeared on the deck, forming three groups one at the bow, another on the bridge, and a third around tbe funnel. Thus it was seen that most of the crew and passengers who, a rectified list shows, number 102. were still living. The Russie lies partly on her beam ends, with her deck facing seaward and the seas have carried away her hatchways, filling the holds and cabins with water. Every possibleexpedient was tried from the shore to save the suff erers. The coast guardsmen and fishermen manned lifeboats and made several ineffectual attempts to reach the steamer, which was shifted by the incessant Dounding of the seas a trifle nearer.the shore. One lifeboat got half way when it was capsized and its crew swam ashore and were dragged out of the water by the people ashore who formed a line with hands joined and waded breast deep into the water iin order to seize them. A tug approached as near as possible to the wreck and then flew a kite to which a life line was attached, in the direction of the Russie. but it failed to reach'the stranded vessel. Floats were also ser t out from the beach with lines, but in no case did they succeed in reaching the steamer. Rockets were fin d fruitlessly until the ammu nition of tbe rocket' mortar?, which was very meagre, ran out. The tugs which made repeated ef forts to approach the Kussie were themselves menaced with disaster and obliged to relinquish their at tempts. Liate in tbe afternoon another ex pedition was essayed that of launch ing a raft, with a life-line, from a tqg laying off tbe wreck. The result of this attempt to reach the endangered crew and passengers of tbe Kussie is not yet known. ' Those on board of her were seen to launch floats, but these were all carried out to sea by the current. This afternoon the gale was subsiding. Harrowing scenes were witnessed at the steamship company's office, outside of which were gathered the weeping wives and and children and other re latives of the crew, who most all hail from Marseilles. A message posted at 3:30 P. M. that all on board the Rus sie were alive evoked a pathetic ex plosion of joy. The Russie was owned by the Societe Generale de Transports; Maritimes A Vaptuer of Marseilles, and not by the Compagnie Generale Trans Atlan tique. The Russie was of 632 tons net reg ister, and was built in 1897 at Sunder land. She was 281 feet five inches long, her beam was 37 feet and she was 25 feet seven inches deep. Shortly after 2 o'clock, during a lull, the men on shore succeeded in getting a life-line to the Russie, but it snapped as it was being pulled on board. Other similar attempts failed; but a more hopeful feeling prevails, in view of tbe indications that the weather is clearing. A message from the Russie says: "The passengers are kept below, but all the crew are at their posts, and the captain and offi cers are lashed to the bridge. The sea men tried to construct Beveral rafts.- but, as they neared completion, they were washed away. The sinking of the stern in the sand proves t j have been a lucky thing for those on board, as the bow of the mail boat is tilted high above all save the biggest waves and affords a refuge, Otherwise it is believed that all would have Ion? since Derished. The cruiser Galilee and a tug with rocket apparatus left Toulon arsenal this evening to attempt to rescue the passengers. SITUATION AT PANAMA. A Band of Guerillas Approached the Town Bnt Withdrew.
