Dr. Manchester spoke in part as follows; Dr. Manchester’s Eulogy. *‘l think the first feeling that comes to us all today is of personal bereavement. She who has gone out from our midst was a friend. The nation knows her as tho distinguished mother; we. of the home city knew her as one whose kindly word and smile have been a cheer and a benediction to many a heart and home. “For her the. long, long night has passed. The morning breaks at last. But her place upon this earth •’•-ill be vacant forever. Hers Is an unspeakable gain, but ours Is an unutterable loss. “It is given only now and then to a pil grim to be spared so many years upon the ea,rlh, ami she wrought for herself a place in life that can never be filled by another. To go out. and in for nearly nine decades of years, to see g.-nor it lons come and go, to sec the kingdoms of e irtli rise and fall, to outlive the companions of childhood and womanhood and still live on. is to become a part of many lives. But the great com forts of this hour are those spiritual ones that wo have a right to appropriate to our si Ives when wo remember that above every thing else Mother McKinley was a I'hrstian woman. Like Enoch, she walked with God, and is not, for God hath taken he)-, it was this that so enriched and beautified her life upon earth. “We think of those things that the world ts pleased to call successes—a 'certain meas ure of achievement that puts one well on tn the race of life—facility and accumula tion—eminence In position—things that are ndv'sable and earthly. "It is not given to many to have such grace of life, such perfection of character, as crowned her whose going out from among us we mourn today. If 1 were to indulge in an analysis of her character I think I would place tlrst of all her glorious motherhood. The wi.-est man said of such as she: 'The heart of her husband doth s'lfolv trust in her. She will do him good and ’not evil all the days of her life. Strength ami honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in t'me to com-. She oi.eiieth her mouth with wisdom, and In her tongue is the law of kindness.

Speaker Will Be Ready with His Re port After Holidays. Washington. December H. —A new ettdo of rules tor the house of representatives will be presented by Speaker Reed and his associates of tho committee on rules after the holiday recess. At present the house Is proceeding under the rules of two years ago, these having been adopted pending the framing of new rules. The present purpose is to readopt tlie old rules without important changes. Representative Barrett, of Massachusetts, Is to be given a hearing at an early day on two amendments which he proposes. Ono of these seeks to give the minority larger rights than it enjoys at present In prevent ing amendments and substitutes and in securing order during debate. The rules are very strict and Individual members have little latitude in securing ad ditions to tlie appropriation bills. Mr. Bar rett’s extended service as speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatlv-s gives added weight to the changes he is urging, although it Is not expected that they will be favorably considered by tho committee. In view of published reports that Mr. Reed was framing a rule to cut off “riders” to appropriation bills, originating in tho senate. Il is stated by one familiar with the speaker’s vi-'Ws, that he lias not contemplated any such action and that the house could not do so if It would. When such amendments come over from the sen ate the house is obliged to. act on them, by concurring or non-concurring, and it Is said that this action cou'.d. not lie changed so as to abridge the rights of the senate. NEW BANKRUPTCY BILL READY. Measure Will Be Reported to House This Week by Judiciary Committee. Washington. December 11. A national bankruptcy bill similar in its substantial features to the Henderson-Culberson bill passed by the house last session will bo re ported to the house this week by the judlcl ary committee. The bill provides for both voluntary bankruptcy and Involuntary bankruptcy. By its provisions any one may tile a p.-ti tion and go into vo.untrvry bankruptcy, ex cept a corporation. The latter may be forced into It, but not otherwise. Vt age earners. laborers and farmers cannot be forced into It. Ail others are subject to Involuntary bankruptcy for certain designated causes. 11, ...»-al’ these Involuntary causes re'.i'e to iraudulent conduct on the part of tlie bankrupt. The clause In past ni-. ■ sure.-, pr.ivldiug that a man who permits his com mercial paper to go unpaid for thlriy days shall lie an unvoluntary bankrupt, is ellmi- Il"d. The general effect of the bl 1 is to ili.-'.-ti.i ry,.- the bankrupt of all debts aft- r ti.e . st ite has heen administered, and It has been found that there lias been no fraudulent conduct. The bankrupt measure Is so framed ns to make its administration simple and Inex pensive. It involves only two officers, ref- re.' and trustee. HELD AN ANIMATED SESSION.

At tl:. 1 opening of the s- sslon a resolu tion for tiie holiday recess from Saturday, December 18th, to January 6th, offered by Mr. 1 Hngley, from tiie committee on ways and mi'aiis, was adopted. Tlie house then went into committee of tlie whole and resumed the consideration of tho legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill. Mr. Livingston, democrat, of G orgla, sub mitted some general remarks in opposition to the civil service law. which he denounc ed as a humbug and a fraud. Mr. DeArmond, democrat, of Missouri, under :!ie latitude allowed in debate, on ap- I-ropria: I. .a bills, follow-d with an impas sion-'d speech, reproaching the majority for not voting upon tlie Cuban belligerency res olution passed by tlie senate at tlie last session. His remarks were given added im portance in view of the action of the demo cratic caucus last night, declaring for an aggressiv.: support of the recognition of Cuban belligerency. lie d-'clar--d that he could not 1.-" mistaken in ills ix'lief that tiie American people, without distinction of party, sympathized with tlie Cuban cause. Tiie triumph in Cuba, he said, would prove a memi-.'o to liberty tlie world over, and in conclusion, amid a round of applause, h" appealed to tlie majority to give tlie house ail opportunity of voting on that r- -olatlon. Tiie deb ate th- n drifted back to the civil service question, participated In by Mr. Mo.-Iy, republican, of Massachusetts; John son, republican, of Indiana; tjuigg, republi can, of New York: Fear on, republican, of N-n'ili Carolina, and others.

Mr. Cannon said the Increase In the force of the pension office was made nec essary • luring the administration of Com missioner Dudley, when the work, after the passage of tlie act of 1890, was four years behind, but it was now up to date. Mr. Dockery thought tiie reduction in tho tienslon force should lie 500 instead of ninety-five. In ills opinion if the dead wood Were cleared out of the office the work of tlie bureau would actually be expedited. Mr. Todd, democrat, of Michigan, moved an amendment to the amendment provid ing that tiie reductions should be made from the several political parties in pro portion to their representation on the pen sion office force. Tlie amendment to tlie amendment was ruled out on a p.dnt of order and the original amendment was adopted. The committee then arose and at 5:05 p. ni. the house adjourned. TO FEED THE YUKON HUNGRY. Bailey and Cannon Have Interesting Debate Over It. Washington, December 16. -The house to day passed a bill appropriating $175,000 for the r< lief of the people who are in the Yu kon river country and also the bill passe 1 by the senate yesterday to prohibit pelagic sealing by American citizens. In tlie course of the debate over the lat ter bill there was some exceedingly caust;.: criticisms of the <••■ ir. e of our B-.-ring sea negotiations, past ami present. Mr. Cannon, rcpul lican, of Illinois, brought forward tlie bill for tl.'e relief of tb.e miners in the Klondike region and Mr. Sayres, democrat, of T* xa- and Mr. Bailey, democrat, of Texas, spoke in favor of It. Mr. Cannon submitted to the louse a state-ment prepared by Dr. Sheldon Jack son, one of the agents of tiie commissioner of education, who was in the Klondike re gion as late as September I’.tli, that tli-.ro would be no suffering as far up tho rlV'-r as Fort Yukon, but that the food supply on tiie Yukon would nut lost beyond March, and lie indorses the re ■ommeiidution ot tlie secretary ot' war that food be seat in by relink-- r' via Dyea.

BITTER AS EVER IS WAR IN CUBA People of tlie Island Talk Not of Peace or of Compromising. NO SURRENDERS TO PANDO Effcrt at Bribery by Spaniards Has Failed Ignominiously. A REVOLTING MILITARY ORDER Commandant Who Makes the Inhabi- i tants Prisoners in Their Own Houses —Weyler Outdone. Havana, Cuba, December 13.—(Special.)—It It is the same old Spain, whether repre sented by Blanco or Weyl-ir! Notwithstanding tho profuse talk of amity and brotherhood which has been indulged in by those who s-e tiie falling condition of Spain, tlmre are numerous li starits to prov-3 that the same old rigors are practiced. Bribery Trial Upon. The first effort to reach Cuba was not by honorable approach to her people, but sought, by bribery, through the hand of General J’ando to lead the leaders astray. But not one surrendered to this prolfer, and tlie Cubans stand united as before. That General Blanco realizes that he has war upon ills hands is evidenced by military orders hourly issued. Among the latest is a. pr.i-l fii.ition of the military commander of Neuvitas, Augustin LaTorre y Rivas, which reads as follows: "Article 1. Any one who with the object of pt-educing alarm, shouts olt torpedoes or lirtarnis within tile town, at the niom- nt it should be menaced by the enemy, snail bo shot. “Art. 2. Tho same, punishment will be in curt'-1 by any citizen, without distinction of sex oi- ng-', who try to go out of his Imus'', or even on Ills porcii. There w.ll bo • \cepted from tills prohibition the em ployee." of the government, volunteers and lireineii. Il' the atta-'k or siege .should list, tlm families will be notified so that one person alone will be able to go out iii the str-et , it a determine,! hour, to look lor tlm ne< essities of subsistance, returning in tlm shoriest possible time to his house. “Art. 3. It is also forbidden, under tho same penalty, that any resident or - rn ployee of any business to raise any Hag other than the national one. if any consul er oile r rept, .-enlative considers himself injured by tliis proliibitlon, he should come to h.e. ".Art. 4. It Is further prohibited for any family, excepting those of volunteers, fir- - men and government employees, to take refuge in the forts and station imtisi.s. 'riii si- named will have to have my special order. If any fort or station house should 1 ■ invaded liy families that have not my order to ttiat. effect, they should i" pre y-nod at .'ill costs, making use of arms ,n the last extreme.” The People Are Determined. This wholes:.le outlawry of tho people is tut a sample of what is taking place all <-\> r tile island. There is war to the knif-, and ev< ry Cuban is determined, as hereto fore, to stand by the cause of independence. PEACE COMMISSIONERS HANGED. Men Sent Among Insurgents by Pando Meet Quick Death.
