Foregoing, compiled from large number reports, made lmmodi ately after engagements, is as close an approximation as now possible owiug to wide distribution of troops. More no- enrnte reuort would take weeks to pro pare.

"MacAhthvr." BEASTS DEVOUR DEAD. Klnpsrk Told it Horrible Scene. In th India Famine District Cholera ml Smallpox llnglng, Bombay, June 4. Louis Klopsch, of New York, publisher of The Christian Herald, who arrived here May 14 and started at once on a tour of the famine stricken districts, has returned, after traveling through the most sorely smit ten portions of the Bombay presidency, including Gujorat and Bnroldn. Ho makes the following statements regard' ing his observations: "Everywhere I met the most shock ing and revolting scenes. Tho famine camps have been swept by cholera and sninllpox. Fugitives, scattered in all directions and stricken in flight, were fouud dying in fields and roadside ditches. The numbers at one relief sta tion were increasing at tho rate of 10,' 000 per day. "At Goduera there were 8,000 deaths from cholera within four days, and at Dohad 8,600 in the same period. The hospital death rate at Godhera and Dohad was IK) per cent. "Tho condition of the striekon Bimply beggars description' Air and water Were impregnated, with an intolerable stench of corpses. At Ahmedadab the death rate in tho poorhonso was 10 per cent.' Every day saw now patients placed face to face with corpses.- In every fourth cot thero was a corpso. "The thermometer read 115 in the slffcdc. Millions of flics hoverod around the uticleaned dysentery patients. "I visited tho smallpox and cholera wards at iragam. All tho patients were lying on tho ground, there being no cots. Otherwise their condition was fair. "I can fully verify the reports that vultures, dogs and jackals are devour ing tho dead. Dogs have been seen running about with children's limbs in their jaws. "Tho government is doing its best, "but the native officials are hopelessly and heartily inefficient. Between the famine, the plague and the cholera, the conditiou of Bonvbay Presidency is now worse than it has teen at any previoui period in the nineteenth century. Whole families havo been blotted out. Tho spirit of the people is broken, and there may bo something still worso to come when the moon breaks." MRS. JOHN SHERMAN DEAD.

Uajor March' Men Shot an Ollleer s'omt l'aper of Rebel Leader Found In t'nptured Saddlebags. Yioan, Luzon, Juno 2, via Manila, June 4. Major March, with his detach ment ' of the Thirty-third regiment, reached Lubouguu, where Aguiualdc had mnde his hoadqnarters since March 6, on May 7. Agninaldo had fled abont seven hours before, leaving all the beaten trails and traveling through the forest along the bods of streams. To ward evening. May 19, Major March struck Aguiualdo's outpost about a milo ontsido of Lugat, killing four Filipinoi and capturing two. From the hitter he learned that Agninaldo had camped there for the night. Although exhausted and half starved, Major Murch's men entered Lagat on the run. They saw tho insurgents scat tering into tho bnshes or over the pla teau. A thousand yards beyond the town, on the mountainside, the figures of 2- Filipinos, dressed in whtte, with their leader on a gray horse, were sil houetted against the sunset. The Anieii cans fired a volley and saw the officer drop from his horso. His followers fled, carrying tho body. Tho Americans, on reaching the spot, caught tho horso, which was richly sad' died. Blood from a badly wounded man was on the animal and on the ground. Tho saddlo bags contained Aguiualdo's dinry and some private papers, including proclamations.

BUSIEST SESSION, SO OFFICIALS 3AY, IN MANY YEARS. Financial Law Aeroniplished Measure to Aid l'orto Iticons I'assed A Form of Government and Means of Raising Revenue For Island Adopted. Washington, June 4. The record of the first session of tho Fifty-sixth con gress is now practically closed, and it is possiblo to survey tho important work it has accomplished during the last six mouths. It has been a busy congress, busiest, according to veteran officials, iu many years. In some respects tho work has been less exciting ttan thnt of the preceding congress, which covered tho dramatic period when war was declared agaiusf Spain, and also tho period of reconstruction and treaty making with Spain following tho successful close of the war. In work actually accom plished aud started toward accomplish ment, the record of the present 60Ksiou stands well iu comparison with tiie most energetic congresses. Our new territorial possessions have received much attention and while thero has been no definite action as to as to tho Philippines .or Cuba, a form of government, and a means of raising revenue has been provided for Porto Rico, and a comprehensive terri torial form of government has been given to Hawaii. Tho financial act haB made importnut changes in the laws re lating to the parity of metals, the bonded indebtedness, national banks aud tho security of the treasury by a gold reserve. The Nicaruguau canal bill has passed the house and is on the calendar of tho senate ready for atten tion when congress reconvenes. The anti-trust bill is similarly advanced. Tht trust constitutional amendment has a defeat recorded against it. The Pacific cable measure has passed the senate and is awaiting final action in the house. The exclusion of Brig ham II. Robert, from a seat in the house because of his polygamous status, tho refusal of the senate to admit Mr. Quay on appointment of the governor of Peuusylvouia, and the sensational charge, investigation and developments m tho senate in the case of Mr. Ciark, of Montana, havo added some exciting personal phases to the session. Investi gations have been proflic, including tho inquiry into the Coner d'Alouo mining riots in Idaho, the various inquiries on polygamy growing ont of the Roberts case, aud more recently the sennte in vestigation of tho postal and othor ir regularities in Cuba. The total of appropriations cannot yet bo stated with exactness, as live bills are jwuding, but it is approximately (700.000,000 for tho session. The senate, iu executive session, has been occupied to a considerable extent with important treaties. Of these the treaties with Great Britain and Gor many closing tho tripartite government iu Samoa aud awarding to tho United States the island of Tatnila. with its valuable hnrlxir of Pago Pago, has been ratified, while tho commercial recip rocity treaties with France aud the British West Indian islands, and the Hay-Pauiieefote treaty concerning the iuter-oceanic canal, go over without action. Of the legislation actually accom plished and now on tue statute books, tho iinaucial act is regarded as tho chief achievement of the year. An act providing a tariff 15 per cent of tho Diugley rnte for Porto Rico and providing civil government passed, also on tho president's recommendation an act was passed appropriating for tho use of Porto Rico, the $2,095,455 col lected from, island sources since its ac quisition. An act also passed to provide a gov ernment for the territory of Hawaii. . The Philippines and Cuba have occu pied much attention iu the way of de bate and the adoption of resolutions of inquiry. Tho Spooner Philippine bill failed to be acted upon. The only legis Litiou as to Cnba is of a comparatively minor character, relating to Cuban shipping. The extradition bill," applying to all iiisulnr possessions aud dependencies, has passed both houses and doubtless become a law. It is designod mainly to reach cases like that of Charles F. W. Neely. Tho Nicnraguau canal bill aud tho shipping subsidy bill aro notable in stances of legislation portly advanced during the present session, but not en acted into lnw. Tho canal bill passed the house and was niado tho special order in tho sonate beginning December 10, next. The shipping bill is on the calendar of each house with favorable recommendation from a majority mem bership of the senate aud house com mittees. Anti-trust legislation has come promi nently into attention in the house at the close of tho session, the house having passed a new anti -trust bill and defeated a constitutional amendment. The senate has passed a bill for a cable to the Philippines and beyond, to be constructed and maintained under gov ernment control, but no action has been Men on it in the house. The restriction of oleomargarine has licen prtxlwtivc of considerable agita tion, mainly in committees, and a rad ical restrictive bill has been reported to the house. The general peusiou laws have been materially changed by tho present congress, largely as a result of tho ef- iorts of the Graud Army of the Repub lic which secured tho ssagn of a bill amending the law of June 27, lH'M, so as to permit the "aggregating" of dis abilities, and changing the provision as to widows so that a widow may receive cnsiou when she is without means or support other thi'.u her daily labor, mi l liad an actual net income not exceeding $250, e-c. The "free homes" act has at List lieooiuo a law. It provides for tho tu- tenting. of homesteads on the public lands acquired from the Indians, on the payment of the usual fees and no other or further charges. This opens to free homestead entry mauy millions of acres of pi.l'.'e lands in the west, here tofore sold at stated figures per acre. Another measure passed of some gen eral interest permits the secretary of agriculture to restore game biids, which are becoming extinct, and 'provides means for the restriction of traffic in dead animals, birds, etc., from state to state, the latter provision being iu part designed to limit the destruction of song birds for the sale, of their plumage. Considerable legislation is carried on appropriation bills. These provisions in clude the amendment to the military academy bill, making the commanding general of the army a lieutenant gen eral, and the adjutant general of tho army a major general; also the amend ment to the sundry civil bill appropriat ing 15,000,000 for the St. Louis exposi tion. Both of these bills are still pend ing. The naval appropriation bill adds two battleships, three armored cruisers, three protected cruisers and five sub marine boats to the naval strength and may include special legislation, as to armor plate and a government plant. The other appropriation bills in the main carry the usual government sup plies. The Alaska code bill, giving a com plete civil system of laws to tho terri tory, has passed both houses and un doubtedly will become a law. Other measures which have passed one house or the other, but which art still pending, include thot for the elec tion of senators by the people; authoriz ing the president to appoint a commit tee to study commercial conditions in China and Japan; for increasing the ef ficieiicy of the army by making staff service in tho corps temporary; extend ing the eight-hour law; increasing the an:inal allownnce to the militia of the country from $100,000 to tl.000,000. LOWER LEVEL OF PRICES. Dun's Review Notes a Nti-ady Progress t1 It, For Chirr Materials of Industry. New York, June 2. R. G. Dun A Co. 's weekly roviow of trade, issued to day, said in part: While returns of failures in May by branches of business cannot bo given until next week, it can be stated that not more than six mouths in more than six years have shown as largo defaulted liabilities as May will show; owing ta the failure of a firm principally en gaged in cotton brokerage. The most conspicuous feature of do mestic news is the steady progress to ward a lower level of prices for the chief materials of industry. Without excitement and with very small lessa It is believed the smallest ever recorded in May nt the three chief eastern mar kets except in 189:1, prices of wool have declined so that the 100 quotations in Contes Bros.' circular would average alxut 21.84 cents, against 24.72 at the highest point Feb. l and 18.16 cents a yonr ago. The decline iu pig iron continues, Grey forgo reaching $18.50 at Pittsburg, No. 1 local coke $22 at Chicago, No. 1 anthracite niid Bessemer $23 at Philnl dolphin, aud Lehigh No. 1 $21 here. Only small changes have apjearod dur ing the week in prices of finished prod ucts, but these are toward lownres.flurg. There are current statements that some of the properties just taken by the Steel Sheet- company have beeu sold back to former owners, aud that prop erties' of the Steol Hoop oompauy will bo divided likewise, but it is not at all surprising if a few out of so ninny combinations result in the disappoint ment of some. Prol)al)ly a lower quotation for Besse mer pig may lo accepted by the associa tion in the central region for thetterya half of the year, as the closing of many works, owing to reduced demand, may leave these fnruacos withont fnll em ployment. The acceptance of two large contracts for export, one for 100,000 by southern works, is a good sign. Failures for the week hnvo been 160 in the United States, against 145 last year, aud 21 in Canada, against 140 last year. THE MARKETS. l'lnsnniwi, Ju,nr 4. vyHEAT No. 2 red, TOu'lc.
