A Case of Rattlesnake Rabies.

JASPER, Ga, Feb. 8.-The condition of Mr..
Sylvester Sans, a well-known citizen of this
county, excites considerable interest. Two
years ago Mr.. Sans, while walking over his farm,
was bitten by a rattlesnake. He Immediately
resorted to the native remedy-whisky-of which
ha took copious draughts. Nothing more wss
thought of the matter until six months ago. when
Mr.. Sans betrayed symptoms of st. Virus's
dance. He was never still, even in his sleep
twitching his muscles and moving necessarily.
Lately he has developed violent symptoms, and
has beaten his wife and family. and, in fact. all
who came within his reach. He now acts like a
man with a welldefined case of rabies, only in
stead of barking he makes a rafting sound. He
has been taken to the Canton Jail, where a
strong guard will be kept over him until the
crisis is reached.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-Some of the Senators
have been worrying themselves a good deal dur
ing the past few days about keeping from the
public the proceedings of the executive sessions
OF the Senate. A few things have been printed
which have annoyed several Senators, and they
are anxious that there be a stop put to every
thing connected with the publication of execu-
tive secrets. The correct accounts given OF the
action Of the Senate in calling upon the Cabinet
officers for information relating to removals
from Office, and the replies which were made,
have caused a good deal of comment among the
Senators, and have resulted in a few being re-
garded suspiciously.
The compilation OF reports Of the work in ex-
ecutive sessions of the Senate has long been a
piece of shrewd and scientific newspaper work
here. The best-trained men do 1t, and the labor
sntailed is onerous and unpleasant. The Wash
angton correspondent who makes a specially of
this studies closely the proceedings of Congress,
and never for a moment loses track Of the most
trivial committee meeting. party conference, or
even expression Of opinion by an individual.
1uoSo CuhFdcterlSticS OF the lntelllgent reporter
place him in a position to indicate almost to a
certainty what is going on in conference, caucus
or executive session, and unless the representa-
tives of the leading journals are prohibited by
law from reporting the proceedings of these
secret meetings, it will continue to the end of
time.
During the Forty eighth Congress q threat
was made by a prominent Senator to have a res
Olution passed expelling from the Senate gallery
all correspondents who persisted in publishing
In their newspapers the proceedings of executive
sessions. This was met by a proposition from a
member of the press to furnish an official para
graph covering such parts of the executive ses-
sion as would not interfere with the public inter
,ests. The proposition was received as an insult,
however, and the Senator followed it up with
che remark that the public were not entitled to
anything which took place behind closed doors,
There are a great many Senators who think
that everything excepting treaties with foreign
countries. should be considered by the Senate in
open session, and would cheerfullY vote for such
~ proposition. Others, however-and they
probably hold the balance of power-say the Sc
creey of the executive sessions is the only charm
they have, and that if the doors were opened
lthe executive sessions would not be attended
and would have no attraction.

for heavy guns shall have been reached. the

Ninth-All needed private capital is ready

Tenth-Proposals for armor and guns should
require such quantities and extend over such a
series of years as to justify private persons in
securing the best plant. Payments should be
made only for completed work. and only guaran-
teed bids of persons having capital and expert
ence should be considered.

The Conclusions Reached by the Senate Com
mittee on Ordnance and Ships.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Ssnator Hawley, chair
man OF the Senate committee on ordnance and
chips. to-day submitted the committees report.
1t gives an exhaustive account of the examina-
tiors by the committee of the principal works
and yards In this country and England, and of
the Information gained from other sources, and
as a result gives the following conclusions:
First-The United States is metallurgically
independent for all purposes of warfare.
Second-The manufacture of iron aud steel
has kept pace with the foremost science and
skin of the world. For s~teel-making the casting
eapacity is ample, but the heavy forging and fin
fishing OF guns aud armor will require new and
costly plants.
Third-The machinery and machine tools of
the navy-yards are sufficient for the building Of
engines, but much of it is obsolete, and no longer
economioat the means OF building iron or steel
ships are lacking; one yard has a good plant Of
limited capacity for finishing steel guns. and has
done come good work.
Fourth-As O partial check upon private bu;ld-
.ers, and as a resource IN casaeof necessity. some
.ehips should be built in navy-yards. the parts to
be furnished by private fonndries. Ships in gen.
oral should be built by private contract, and pri-
rate yards are capable Of doing the work. The
uncertain nature of repairs is such that some
government yards should be kept ready to make
them.
Interchangeable and engines should be OBJ
falned wholly from private manufacturer
Sixth-Costly experiments of twenty-five
years have reached . stage which j~ustiies GER

There Is Nothing Surprising

In the fact that Benson's Capcine Plasters are widely
initiated; that cheap and worthless plasters, with
names of similar sound, and similar appearance ia
type, are freely offered for sale. Articles OF great and
original merit always have to compete with trashy i'm
itations. But as they become known they die Dub
through deserved neglect. Meanwhile we warn the
public against the so-called 'Capsicum, !" "Capsicin,"
'Capucin'' and .Capsicine' plasters. whether Bon

inal or curative virtues whatever, and are made to self

ing it as such as party organ, and
WHEREAS, The said paper has refused to
endorse the action of the democratic party
