BIG ARMY SS ASSURED
House Committee On Military ‘Af
fairs Have Prel m nary Talk.
PRESIDENT’S PET SCHEME IS FAVORED
Draft of Hill ll.ift A'.ivacly lJflcn l*rf?fHret
ly ClmiMiiMii II nil Kuitiiidi -
in i; rhui-.
A Washington special snys; The
house committee on mi ltnry affairs
Tuesday met for the purpose of con
sidering the new army bill. The bus
iness was nosly of u } reliminary
character, the discussion being quite
general on army affairs. Tbo Repub
lican members of the committee appa
rently ere in favor of giving Ihe presi
dent such an army as he may require.
The draft of a bill already prepared
by Chairman Hull will bo the basis of
the measure which the committee will
consider. This will provide for an
army of the maximum strength of
100,000 men, with a minimum of 50,-
000, and general officers at the rate of
one brigadier general for each 4,000
men, with major generals in propor
tion.
Chairman Hull states that there w ill
be but one bill prepared and if any
staff changes are contemplated they
will be incorporated in that measure.
The members of the committee will
confer with Secretary Root iu a day or
two. Tuesday afternoon they went
over the bill which has been known as
the war department bill, drawn on
lines suggested and approved by Sec
retary Root. The secretary expects to
give further consideration to the bill
and then will send it to members of
the committee.
The war depaitme it hill provides
for 9(1,000 men aud a minimum of 58.-
000, with thirty regiments of infantry,
fifteen regiments of cavalry and a
gradual increase of the artillery, so
that at the end of five years there will
be 18,000 men. The artillery is not to
be organized into regiments, but as
batteries aud field artillery. With the
maximum armv there are to be 150
men to each infantry company, mak
ing 1,830 men to a regiment. The
maximum of a cavalty troop is to be
100 men.
There is no provision for a lieuten
ant general in the war department bill,
but under the present law the senior
general commanding will have the
rank of lieutenant general. The war
department bill does not give the same
iucrease of major generals and briga
dier generals as the house hill.
The detailed staff’ provisions are an
important feature of the measure. It
provides that hereafter vacancies in
the staff', excej ting the medical corps,
pay corps and engineers, shall be
tilled by details from the liue, such
officers being subject to line duty at
any time. This is the same as the Hull
bill of the last congress aud is earnest
ly favored by Secretary Root. The
war department bill provides that the
promotions shall he made from the
regular army according to the present
rank down and including the rank of
captain.

SENATOR DAViS DEAD.
Illness Brought Cn By a Poisoned
Fool—His Career a Bril
liant One.
United Slates Senator Cushman Kel
logg Davis, chairman of the committee
ou foreign relations, of the senate,died
j at his home in St. Paul, Minn., Tues
day night after an illness of two
months. Ho had suffered greatly
during his sicknei-s aud gradually sank
away, being unconscious for several
hours before death, and so far ns
known, suffering uo pain.
After his return from the Maine
campaign in September, Senator Davis
was troubled by twinges of pain in
one of lus feet, to which he paid lit
tle attention, thinking it due to some
neuralgic condition which would soon
pass. He began an active campaign
in Minnesota, speaking in Duluth
September 21st aud at Alexandria,
Mum, September 25th. During the
latter speech he suffered so greatly
that lie coubl not wear his shoe. He
returned home at once and was order
ed to bed by his physician.
It was at first believed the case was
( ne of blood poisoning, caused by in
fection, through a slight abrasion on
his foot, trom the dye of a black silk
stocking, and surgical operations drew
off' the accumulation of pus. On No
vember 11th kidney trouble became
apparent, both nephritis aud diabetes,
complicating the case and making his
condition more critical.
On November 18th the senator be
gan to be subject to delirious spell*,
lu his delirium he raved of bis con
gressional work. He would declare in
vigorous phrases fragments of the na
tion’s foreign policy. There was, of
course, no coherence—asenteuce about
the Philippines would be followed by
a comment upon the Monroe doctrine,
or a suggestion of an impending war
with Spain. Rut always,in his diseased
mind, lii.s patriotic and official duties
were with him.
His career a** a constitutional law
yer, governor of Minnesota, st.-De leg
islator and United States senator was
a brilliant one.
President McKinley made him one
of the peace commissioners to Paris to
treat with Spain, and lie discharged
his duties with honor to- his country
aud himself. He was chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the sen
ate and the most influential member of
that body.

News was received in Quebec Satur
day afternoon that tbo steamer St.
Olaf, which has been coasting between
Quebec and Point aux Esquimaux, iu
the lower St. Lawrence, for the past
two years, had become a total wreck
off Seven Islands, and that ull her
crew- was entirely lost.
Tbo first dispatch from Seven Is
land brought but very meagre news
ami it was oniy late in the afternoon
that A. Frazer <fc Cos., owners of the
steamer, were informed of the extent
of the disaster. Besides the uineteen
men of the steamer’s crew it was learn
ed that seven passengers had also per

The St. Olaf was an iron steamer*-?
305 tons and was built on the Clyde at
Port Glasgow in 1882. She was val
ued at. about £40,000 and insured for
about $20,000. The last news heard
of the St. Olaf up to Saturday was
that she had left Sheldrake on Wed
nesday and shortly after the signal
station dispatches reported rough
weather with gales and snow, and it
is supposed that during one of these
gales the St. Olaf ran ashore on the
rocks at the entrance of the Seven
islands, ns the dispatch states that 's he

As soon as the news of the wreck
reached Seven islands a searching
party wen*t rut to attempt to reaene
any of the shipwrecked people if pos

one aboard the vessel seems to have
been lost.
News was received iata Saturday
night that tire St. (>!f was lying on
the rocks, and at low tide two feet of
her bull could be seen out of the wa

wrecked is about seveu miles off Seven

A Manila special under date of No

impregnable, was taken and destroyed
Thursday afternoon by a picked force
of the Forty-second aud Twenty

Fourth cavalry, under Colonel Thom

escaped.
The leader has long harrassed the
Twenty-seventh infantry, operating in
the vicinity of San Mateo, Montalbau

ted a< Pinaman, tLii iy-five miles north
ot Manila. His position was consid
ered the strongest in Luzon. It was
a fine stone fortress surmounting a
steep hill surrounded by canyons.
The Spanish forces lost heavily iu at
tempting to take it.
Colonel Thompson mobilized a thou
sand men at Montalbau. The attack
was made upon four sides. Tito ascents
were steep and the men climbed them
by grasping the shrubbery. It was
impossible for the eastern column to
reach the summit, but the others ar
rived after three hours’ climbing, under
fire from the fortress and tlie hillside
intfeuchments.
The enemy's force, numbering Rev
