partisan tone than any yet during the
present session. It was ever the bill to
repeal section 1918 Of the revised stat.
utes, which prohibits those connected
with the rebellion from holding positions
in the United States army. Senator Ed
munds regarded it as an effort of the
democrats to repeal legislation intended
to maintain the results of the var. He
spoke Of the attempts of democrats in
the last ten years to repeal war legisla.
tion by means Of riders on appropria.
tions. He said he was ready now and at
all times to meet and resist these efforts
Of the democrats. Beck and Vest made
speeches from the democratic side, claim
ing that the sentiment of the country il

most all who do not remain at seaboard

Chicago Times,

The number of immigrants passing
through Milwaukee every day on their
way to the northwest is perfectly as
founding. Every train is crowded with
people on their way to the northern por.
tinns Of Wisconsin and to Minnesota and
Dakota. The railroads, indeed, cannot
transport these pioneers as fast % they
come, and the Milwaukee and St, Paul
company are having large number of
new cars constructed in order to meet
the demand. Cities are springinR up
like magic, not as mining towns spring
up but In the midst Of good farming
country. taken up in claims by men Who
know what they are about, and who have
gone there to stay. Railroad fares are
cheap, and tree claims aud pre-emptions
are to be had upon the best terms
Railroad men here bclieve the present
season will witness the greatest influx of
immigrants that the country has ever
seen.

which Ordway should consider. We

coaches and making quick time between

the northern portion. The only com.
munication between these sections has
been by circuitous route over the rail.

is now no great lines intervening be.

A FIVE. MILE SNAKE LIE.
Terrible Georgia Reptile Which Joints
and Unj0ints Itself

- AeTTiulo 'eOTktu iteptlle Whlcn JOinte
and Unj0ints Itself
From the Cumming CGa.) Clarion.
In our boyhood we often hear of a
hoop snake, one that, bringing its head
and tail together, rolled over and oyer
like q wagon wheel. 1t was said that
this snake did its execution with its tail,
that beng pointed like needle. We
never had the terror of seeing
one OF them, but did, when about
eight years old. see jointed snake
The JOINTS were about six inches long.
When alarmed the snake fell to pieces,
the head joint darting of like an arrow
to place of conc almeut. That was the
last snake OF the kind we ever cav until
quite recently we saw hoop.joipted
snake. We were walking leisurely one
day through our field close to an old
fence, which was near . small branch
and marshy swamp. Thinking of no evil,
but rather imagining that on that piece
ofground we could make bale Of COT
ton to the acre. which would buy twice
as much corn a. the land would make,
all Of . sudden we were started out OF
ourself BY something rolling by us
which looked like the rim of buggy
wheel without the spokes. When it
passed about ten steps beyond us, IN
making an effort to turn, it accidently
struck the end Of projecting rail. This
must have alarmed it, for ali at once it
fell to pieces, and the head Joint darted
through crack of the fence and into
the swamp as quickly as possible. Re.
membering the jointed snake OF our boy
hood, and that our grandfather had told
US if We would watch we
would see the head return for
the joints left, Us badly Us we were
scared we determined to wait and watch
the head's return. Not unmindful that
we had been told by them of old that the
only protector from hoop snake was to
get behind tree or stump on the oppo-
site side from the one it was coming. we
took position behind Oh old stump
and waited Developments. 1t was not
long befor the head came slowly and
cautiously through the crack Of the
fence. raised itself to an angle Of forty
i've degrees. looked in every direction,
and then commenced the work of rejoin.

SENATOR BLAIR ON THE WITNESS STAND
Senator Blair appeared before the for
cling affairs committee to-day and began
by reading general statement in rela.
ton to the subject under investigation.
in effect as follows:
II know nothing Of the membership
of the Peruvian company. except Presi-
dent Shipherd; do not know of any
member of either house being in any
way whatever connected with it except
myself, and my connection with it was
purely as counsel, with no pecuniary in
terest whatever in the company, and
with no expectation whatever Of pecu-
mary rewa1d.,' The statement then re-
hearsed at some length the situation of
affairs in Peru and Chill and the
writer's sympathy for Peru and
the desire to prevent her
dismemberment which led him to take
an interest in the purposes and objects
OF the Peruvian company. Some time
in August Shipherd wrote offering wit.
ness a. q retainer stock in the company.
Witness replied that he preferred a re.
tainer in money. He took Avery shortly
after he (Shipherd) sent witness some
scrip which he subsequently returned
for reasons already set forth.
/ Witness said: II never heard Shipherd
make any mention in the presence OF
Blaine, or on any other occasion in my
presence, of his having made an offer to
Minister Huflbut of S25O,OO0 in stock il
the Peruvian, neither did ever have IN,
correspondence with Minister Hurlbu

Very little more will be done during
this session of congress by the commit
tees of the house. Bills introduced and
referred to committees during the past
month have Jared badly. It would
scarcely be too much to say that hardly
a measure which will be introduced and
referred during the remainder of this
session will be reported back to the
house between now and adjournment.
The reason why members
now neglect committee work
is the fact that the calendar
is already loaded down with hundreds
more measures than can be disposed OF
