Marine Hospital at Evansville.


WASHINGTON, Feb. &c The House has passed
bill making appropriation for marine hos
pital at Evansville. Undoubtedly the Senate
will concur Supervising Surgeon-gensral Ham,
ilton, of the Marine Hospital Service, says there
should be permanent and frs t-class marine
hospital at Evansville. as it is an important
point for the treatment of seamen. There have
been seamen treated by tho direction OF the
Marine Hospital Service at Evansville for many
: years. and the number has steadily increased.
In 1873, 266 sick men were received at the Evans
vile station In 1883, decade later. the mum Der
had increased to 685. Last year 926 seamen were
received and given Treatments. The building to be
constructed by the appropriation which Con-
eress will undoubtedly make will be COM
modious and will have all of the modern i'm
provementa necessary to the comfort of the
patients. The buildings now occupied for this
purpose are not sufficiently large, and it is not
possible, Dr. Hamilton states to accommodate
all of tho sick who should be treated at that
point The bill was reported from the House
committee with unanimous Recommendation for
it's passage.

Cost of the Treaty.

Since the signing of the recently concluded
fisheries treaty considerable speculation has
been INDUCED in as to whether the British
Parliament would rstify it, and several state
ments, apparently authority, have been made
regarding the power exercised by the House of
Commons in the ratification OF treaties A
gentleman who holds high position in the
British Foreign Office, and who is at present in
this city, was asked to-day by World CORE
spondent to how much or how little Parlia-
ment has do with the ratificat ion of a treaty:
He replied:
'tOur form of government differs from yours
inasmuch as with all power is vested in the
crown, who acts on the advice of her executive
officers. the Cabinet and other officers who hold
permanent places. As a matter of fact, Parlia-
ment need never be consulted about trea Is.
The Queen appoints plenipotentiares to negoti-
ate the treaties. and these plenipotentiaries are
vested with full power to act in the matter.
They conclude and sign treaty, which is then
examined By the crowns constitutional advisers
of tho Cabinet. who recommend that her Majesty
either sign It refuse to affix her signature.
Unless the plenipotentiaries have exceeded their
powers the crown would of course be recon-
mended to sign the treaty. After that is done it
is countersigneG by Secretary of State gener-
ally the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
Any Secretary will do however and the great
seal is then affixed. which only be author
lied by the royal warrant aissuing to the Lord
High Chancellor
The present negotiations cost the people of
Great Britain and the Dominion at least $20.-
600. The plenipotentiaries were here some ten
weeks, and it is understood their expenses were
5000 day They lived at the most expensive
hotel in the city, and occupied large and luxuri-
Gus apartments. Two hundred dollars day
only covered ordinary living EXPENSES. Mr..
Chamberlain has given at least dozen dinners
at which from twelve to fifteen guests were
present. Each dinner cost not less than from
$50 20 $50 plate. The menu always included
everything to be had in Nors hern and Southern
markets. as well as the mo st expensive wines
In addition Mr. Chamberlain paid large snm
for floral decorations. At the first dinner he
gave the flowers were orchids and for some of
them he sent TO Europe Telegraphing and

A Novel Sight in the Senate.

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
A novel feature of the proceedings in the
Senate to-day was the reading of long and
tiresome speech by Senator Joe Brown, of
Georgia. on his resolution introduced last week
favorng the wiping out Of the internal revenue
system. Mr.. Brown is neither an orator nor an
entertaining reader, but he prepares quite as
long and able speeches any of the other
profound members of the body, and usually
reads them to empty chairs. He is q feeble
looking old gentleman. and has looked ever
since he came to the Senate if he would
certainly die before another month could roll
around. For all this, he is one of the most
punctual men in the Senate, and can usually
be found in his seat.
To-day, after the routine business was con-
Guided. he called up his resolution and prefxed
his remarks" by stating that he felt too weak
to stand on his feet for hour two, and
asked unanimous consent to be allowed to
deliver his speech" while sitting in his chair.
OF course this was granted. Mr.. Brown took
his seat, crossed his legs. and deliberately
picking up a shest of paper from huge pile of
manuscript proceeded to read aloud the essay
he had prepared. and consumed nearly two
hours of good time.
session or two ago Mr.. Brown read por-
ton of long speech he had prepared on some
pending bill, and before its conclusion asked
unanimous consent that his clerk be allowed to
finish the remainder of it. In the House last
session young Charlie Voorhees, delivered a
portion of Mr.. Reagan's interstate-commerce
speech in the same way.

Bismarck's Narrow Escape.
London Ei0ar.


According to private correspondence from
Berlin, Prince Bismarck has been considerably
troubled of late by the effect of the bullet
wound he received so many years ago from the
revolver of would-be assassin. Many people
have even FORGOTTEN the circumstance that
the great German Chancellor was SO murder
ously attacked by the youth Blind, but a
matter of fact five shots were discharged at him,
and it was simply owing to the sturdy way in
which he grasped his assailant's arm that only
one of them took effect. This bullet glanced off
one of the Chandeliers lower ribs, and bony
excresence which developed in consequence,
still marks the place. As it turned out, too.
Bismarcks risk was by means at an end
when he grappled with and sezed his assailant
4 military guard hurried up hearing the
Chancellors shouts, and the impulse of the fore
most of these stalwart Prussians granadiers on
seeing a comparatively feeble stripping being
held and seemingly maltreated by a ponderous
man with bald head-for Bismarcks hat had
fallen off-was to club his rife and bring it
down on the latters bare pate. Luckily for
Germany, however, the Chancellor warded off
his impending fate by shouting out Hold on:
am Bismarck" on which. as the latter himself
tells the story, the soldier dropped his weapon
in "a much greater fright than that OF his es-
capped victim.

which is known here as the potato famine year.
Usually the foreign potatoes do not begin to ar

the shipments began in November and have kept
up ever since. The drought in the Western
States last August cut down the potato crop of
this country until there was shortage of a.,
600 900 bushels according to the report of the
Agricultural Bureau The scarcity in some
States has drawn the surplus from others, until
there is no supply for the large Eastern cities
But for the foreign article the price of pota-
toes in this city would go up to 81 a barrel now,
and still higher in the spring. The arrivals of
potatoes are in excess of the city consumption.

to the Southwest.
The potatoes are brought here in rough
sacks. holding just 16S pounds each, which is
the English long weight for one hundred and a
half. They pay duty of fifteen cents a bushel
the regular lines of steamers running from
Glasgow, Liverpool and Dundee to this city,
and are usually in good condition. A large lot
of German potatoes arrived short time ago,
however, that Were a total loss. They were
frozen before being placed on the steamer.
The Scotch potatoes of the '.Magnum b.
mum" variety are equal in quality to any pota-
toes grown They are better than any of our
domestic product except that of Long Island,
and dealers say that it is only native prejudice
that makes buyers prefer the Long Island va
riety. Potatoes have recently been shipped
from Ireland to this country, via Scotland, so
that they have arrived in the Scotch bags and
sold as genuine '.Magnum Bonums." The
