Thoro was a hot time in tho Houso of

for tho .fray, but Mr. Connon would

made a sooond onslaught of a moro son
national ohataotor of tho troops in tho
Philippines and brought down upo a

}/. "I am not jumping on a doad man."
repliod Mr. Lsntz, "but on a man who
ls so alive that ho will vid o down Poon
Sylvania avenuo with tho prosidont ono

. Mr. Grosvonor sought to roply to Mr.
. Lontz, who rofused to allow him to do
so. Mi, Grosvonor thon angrily dc
. elated that tho gontloman from Ohio,
Mr. Lontz, had been guilty of a mali
cious falsehood. "And ho knows it."
' added Mr. Grosvenor.
? < A very ?ou?ational episodo occurred
Whon tho paragraph providing that not
over $50 should bo paid for tho appro
. honsion of a donor ter from tho army j
was reaohod in tho appropriation bill,
whioh w?B undor discussion. This para-,
?raph was seized upon by Mr. Lontz
ora baso for an attaok. Ho doolared j
that reporta woro coming haok from tho
.Philippines that our soldiers woro kill
j ,ing prisonoiB and said that ho know of
' .. a lotter roooivod by tho fathor of a sol

C?ko $5,000 to provont our soldiers from
t do?oriing. Again and again ho shouted
that they woro justified in dosorting.
Mr. Lontz's remarks arousod tho
l^lioufm to foyor pitoh. Mr. Graham,
'Ropublioan, of Pennsylvania, ohal
. longed Mr. Lontz to produce tho lottor
ho had roforrod to, whioh Mr. Lontz re
plied could not bo producoi without
getting tho boy in to trubio.
Mr. Gannon in impassivo tones do
olarod that a gontloman who would

undor tho Amorioan flag to dc H ort might

samo things in tho Philippines they
? would bo tridd by drum-hoad oourt
martini and shot. This nt a to ai o nt
brought forth a round of applauso from
/.tho Ropublioan sido. VS
.? But Mr. Lontz returned to tho as
sault. Ho road a rowopapor aooount
of ? lottor alleged to havo boon re
solved by tho fathor of a soldier saying
, that tho soldiers woro ordered to shoot
evory man and boast thoy found. Mr.
Lontz deolarod that ho oould not bo
'"brow-heaton." If suoh orders had
boon issuod, ho said, this obngross col
lectively should bo ashamed to faoo the
' .world. Ho ohargod that our soldiors
woro guilty of murder and said that tho
timo had como whon tho oountry was
'"entitled to know tho faots and not to
roly upon a "eonsorod press."
Mr. Damion said tho gontloman wan
lashing himsolf into a passion whilo tho
men ho slandered wero busy in tho por
f or manoo of t.hoir duty.
Mr. Gannon said that in his lifoUmo
ho had hoard moro olequont mon tban

"Was tho gontloman on tho firing

"It matters nob whoro I was," re
ter tod Mr.. Cannon. "1 was not disloyal

Mr. Mahon, Ropublioan of Pennsyl

A resolution to ask tho soorctary of war
whether suoh ordors as he had roforrod

ho said, would show tho roport to bo a

"J. havo hoard suoh spocohos as tho

Both shots took offoot, ono in tho body

a Mr. Martin, was visiting his bro thor

Tolbort owns quite a lot of land

out his pistol and firod twioo at Mar

Tolbert then common ood, only two
shots taking offoot, both in the body.
Martin wau hit ia tho hip and in tho

.?? OapL Ward, who waa on dook whon
tho VCEBOI struok, at babo gavo ordors
to tho crow on watch to hurry tho pnn

toraiaator on duty sounded tho signal
for firp drill and within fivo minuto? all
tho mon worn at their stations. Tho
captain gavo ordcra to lowov tho lifo
boata and lifo rafta.
Thoro was not muoh confusion until
15 minutoa af tor striking, whon tho
bow of tho VODROI suddonly plunged
under water? Thon thoro waa a wild
mah for tho boats. Two boats had al
roady boen loworod and othora wore got
ting away aa rapidly aa tho trained dis
oiplino of theorew could proparo thom.
A thiok fog enveloped everything, and
asyot no aigu had como from tho life
saving atatiOna. Darkness was all
about, and with thia add od horror tho
nooplo on tho Bio had to oops.
Ono boat got oloar of the voaarl with
out damage^ It oontained Mrs. Woat,
Mra. Hi ploy, Chief Eoginoor Herlihloy,
Sooond Ofnoor Ooghlan, Frank Oramp,
J. lt. Buasoll, Storokoopor Borgg, Wa
tortender I). Lano, Quartermaster
Mathieson and Capt. Hooth of tho
German navy. This boat got blear of
tho sinking vessel and thon stood by to
help in picking up thoao who had no
timo to got into tho boats and wore
in tho water,
Another boat, containing Third Offi
oor Holland? ana J. K. Oar pont er, got
away, but was drif tod around oloao up
under tho bow of tho s team or. As tho
forward ond of the vossel plungod
downward tho bow oaught tho mindi
boat and out it to picosa, Tho two
mon In tho boat wore uninjured and
swam away.
Oarpontor waa pioked up, but Hoi
land is supposed to have polished. A
numbor of Italian fishermen who woro
just starting out Friday morning saw
tho sinking of the Bio and haatonod to
ronddcr assiatanoo. Moantlmo many
of tho torrifled pooplo rushed to tho
rallinga and jumpo! overboard. Somo
wore piokod up, others drownod. Th

Oapt. Ward remained on dook until

emulated Admiral fl vron of her Brit*

Quartermaster Offioor Lindstrom was
ono of the first to land. Aooording ?to
his atovy Capt. Ward, after consulting
with Pilot Jordan, carno down from tho

When tho vessel oraahod into the rook.
Thoro was* cry of "man tho boals,"

As a result of tho giving way of a wall

into tho mino as rapidly as it is pump

ontorod tho mime ll miners were able
to got out. Thoeooidont is attributed
to a miner who was digging coal oloso
to tho wall of tho abandoned shaft
whioh has boon filled with wator for

piorood and th) stagnant wator rushed

is a large foroo of hands at work pump

tlo progress is being made aa it .fills up
almost as rapidly as it is pumped out
Tho fate or the ontombod miners io
