THE EDMUNDs RESOLUTIONS.


Remarks Of Senator Logan on the Floor of
the Senate.
In discussion OF the Edmunds resolutions
on the senate with reference to surrender to
that body OF documents in possession OF
the president, Senator Logan said: Sena-
tors nave Travelled far in debate and dis
cussed many topics disconnected with the
question before the senate. The only ques-
ton is whether the attorney general should
furnish papers relating to the conduct of
the office OF the district attorney. This
government, said Logan, is based on the
will OF the people, and the people should
have all information that they, through
their representatives in congress-, should
call for. The president calls these papers
private, but the moment he places a paper
on the files OF the department it becomes
by his own act a public paper. Could the
president mean that tomorrow he could
box those papers up and send them to But
falo, or that he could at any time hereafter
take them away? Could he leave them
therefor ten or fifteen years. and then make
a demand on the government for them as
his private papers? Ii that was the argu-
ment it was one that it was impossible to
support by any sort OF logic or fairdealing.
Senator Logan declared himself in favor OF
open sessions. and in concluding said he
respected the president as a pleasant gen.
tleman, but that gentleman was mistaken
IN the idea that he was anything than
an American citizen placed in his Office to
execute the will of the people.

had been hit limped to the PLATFORM

Bishops Ring Around the Sun.

If there is nothing new undsr the
sum-, there is at least something new
around it. For the last two years close
observers of the sky have noticed that
the MONDAY sun has been surrounded
by a corona of dusky, coppery or red
dish light, as it has been yariously de-
scribed, the circle of most distinct col
or having a radius of about fifteen de-
grees, and inclosiug 4 brilliant, silyery
or blush glow close around the solar
disk. A similar appearance of much
less intensity has been occasionally no.
ticed around the full moon on very
clear winter nights.
The most experienced observers of
sky cOlOrS are agreed that this corona
was not visible before the latter months
of 1888. Won Behold, of Munich, who
was considered the most competent
meteorolOgist to prepare 4 sceduie for
observations On the cOlOrs of the sky
for the recent German Arctic expedi-
ton. says that, in spite of the close at
tention he had previously given to the
appearance of the usual whitish glow
around the sun, he had never till recent
~ oCCA IHC Ouchy IJAg" 4HOIlOH, VI
Nice, who had made 4 special study of
the sky around the sun for d series
of years, declares confidently that q
change occurred in November, 1888.
Blackhouse, of Sunderland. who has q
careful record of parhelia for twenty
five years, confirms this opinion. We
may, therefore, safely accept the con-
clusion that the change of color from
the blue of the open sky to the intense
glare of whitish light close around the
sun was until lately effected without
the appearance of any reddish tinge in
the transitional area.
The new corona, to which the name
Of Bishops ring" has been given aft
er its first observer, has never been q
very conspicuous affair, and. therefore,
has not attracted the popular attention
that it deserves; but it could easily be
seen every clear day last winter, and
has repeatedly been noticed since then
in the latter months of 1SS5.-Popu-
lar Silence Monthly.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To Wash Black Calico-Use soft
water, milk warm. put in one spoonful
of salt, use no soap only at the neck
and sleeves very little. Iron when not
quite dry.
Meats Left Over-Roasted or boiled
meats, if of good quality, are generally
better sliced cold than warmed over.
but if the latter plan is decided upon do
it as quickly as possible. As soon as
the meat is thoroughly heated through
remove it from the tire.
Waffles-Three eggs-whites and
yelks beaten separately-one table
spoonful of butter, or Il piece the size of
a hens egg, half a teaspooEful of soda.
or a teaspoonful of baking powder, a
pinch of salt, one quart of flour. Mix
all together with sour cream enough to
make a batter; cook in waffle irons over
the Goals of fire till of a light brown
color.
Yorkshire Pudding-A pint and a half
o milk, six large tablespoonful of flour,
three eggs, and one salrspoonful of
salt. Put the flour into 4 basin with
the salt, and stir gradually to this
enough milk to make it into a stiff bat
ter. When this is perfectly smooth,
and all the Jumps are w~ell-rubbed down,
add the remainder of the milk and the
eggs, which should be well beaten.
Beat the mixture for a few minutes, and
pour it into a shallow tin, which has
been previously well rubbed with beef
dripping. Put the pudding into the
oven, and bake it for an hour; then for
another half hour place it under the
meat to catch a little of the gravy that
flows from it. Cut the pudding into
small square pieces, put them on q hot
dish, and serve. If the meat is baked,
the pudding may at once be placed I'M
der it, resting the meat on 4 small three
cornered stand.
Venison Stewed-A shoulder of
y%enison, q few slices of mutton fat,
two glasses of port wine, pepper and
allspice to taste, one and a half pint of
weak stock or gravy, half 4 teaspoon
full of whole pepper, and half Il tea
spoonful of whole allspice. Hang the
venison till tender; take out the bone,
tiatten the meat with 4 ~rollingpin, and
place over it a few slices of mutton
fat, which have been previously
soaked for two or three hours in port
wine; sprinkle these with Il little fine
allspice and pepper, roll the meat up.
and bind and tie it securely. Put it
into a stewpan with the bone and the
above proportion of weak stock, or
gravy, whole ~allspice, black pepper.
and port wine; cover the lid down
closely, and simmer very gently from
three and Il half to four hours. When
quite tender, take off the tape and
dish the meat; strain the gravy over
it and send it to table with red
currant Jelly. Unless the joint is very
fat, the above is the best mode of cook
inc it.

SENATE, March 26.-Among the bills in
troduced was one by Hoar providing for
Inquests upon national authority. Hoar
said the bill was suggested by reports OF re-
cent occurrences at Carrolltown, Miss. Re-
ferred. The Edmunds resolutions were
then placed before the senate and Ingalls,
took the oor. Speeches were made by
several senator's, Edmunds closing the de-
bate. Harris having demanded "A separate
vote upon the Edmunds resolutions, the
first resolution, adopting the report OF the
COMMITTEES on judiciary, was adopted
yeas 30, nays &c. The second resolution,
c~ondemning the refusal of the attorney
general to send copies Of papers called for
by the senate, was adopted-yeas 80. nays
20. The question being on the third reso-
luton, declaring it to be the duty OF the
senate to refuse its advice and consent to
the proposed removals OF officers, docu-
ments In reference to supposed misconduct
OF whom are withheld, Gray raised the
point that it changed IL rule OF the senate
and was not in order. The president pro
tempore overruled the point of order and
Mr.. Gray appealed from his decision. Mr..
Gray's appeal was laid on the table. Mr..
Brown moved to amend by striking out
the third resolution altogether. Lost. A
vote being taken on the third reso-
idIiOH, IL Was doTeeu to-yedS oOi nays
29-Messrs. Mitchell, OF Oregon; Riddle
berger and Van Wyck voting with the
democrats. The fourth resolution, con
demning the discharge OF %x-union soldiers
and the putting in their places OF men who
had rendered no military service for the
government, was then voted on and agreed
to-yeas so, nays 1 (Morgan). Morgan
offered a resolution declaring that nothing
in the resolutions already adopted was to
be construed as declaring that the conduct
OF the attorney general rendered him liable
to impeachment and that the senate dis
claimed the right or power to punish him
by Imprisonment or otherwise other than
by impeachment for the offense charged
against him in the resolution.
HOUSE, March 26.-On motion of Springer
the vote by which the house a few days
since defeated the sena bill granting a
pension of $50 per month to the widow of
Gen. H. w. Benham was reconsidered and
the bill was ~passed-yeas lis, nays So.
At its evening session the house passed

Il Young Roman Of Respectable PaFeatGge
Charged ,cith Biganty.
An extraordinary case of bigamy has
been developed here, says a Newport (R-I.)
dispatch, the first arrest being made last
night in the person OF James Mcmahon.
The person charged with bigamy is a young
woman of most respectable ~parentage.
She is an exceedingly interesting person,
beautiful and accomplished. Her nam
originally was Anetta Lee Wright, her
parents residing in jamestown. She first
married a wellto-do man-Alonzo Tefft-
from whom she was subsequently divorced.
Next she married a farmer named Hall,
WHO owned property in jamestown and in
Narragansett. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall did not
live happily, and a separation took place,
but no divorce proceedings were had.
Some time ago she met n young mannamed
James Mcmahon, whose father is a city
contractor. Mr.. Mcmahon claims that he
did not know his wife's status before his
marriage to her, but there is evidence
that he did afterwards, because he
was informed of the circumstan.
ces. The 18th ult. Mcmahon APP
piled for and obtained a marriage IL
cense, and the couple were married by the
Rev. Mr.. Clark, pastor OF the Thames
Street Methodist church. When this fact
was discovered by Mr.. Mcmahon, the ed
itor, he was very indignant, and he made
application to the chief of police for a war
rant for the pretty woman to be arrested
on a charge OF bigamy. The chief declined,
but subsequently placed the matter before
the grand jury, and the result OF the elder
McMahon's stir in the affair is that not
only has an Indictment charging bigany
been found against Mrs. Hall but one
charging adultery was found against his
own son. This he evidently did not ex-
pect. Young Mcmahon was arrested last
night. Meanwhile Mrs. Hall has gone to
Fall River. The case is exciting consider
able talk. The police officials have re-
ceIved Information to warrant their belief
that Mrs. Hall has two other husbands liv-
ing besides those mentioned.
