Austria Alarmed.

PEsTH. January lin the lower
house of the Hungarian Diet, to-day,
Herr Holly submitted an Interpolation
as to whether government had addressed
inquiries to Russia in regard to the
cause for the recent unexpected Rus
sian military preparations; whether
Austria had adhered unswervingly to
the programme it laid down in 1885
regarding Bulgaria; whether govern
ment did not consider it advisable to
take the initiative in summoning an in
terDational conference, as to the Bull
garian affair, in the sense of the pro-
gramme of 1885, and whether, in the
event that the sincere efforts which
have been mad to maintain peace did
not succeed, Austria might count upon
an alliance with Germany and Italy.
Herr Perczel asked whether govern
ment did not consider it expedient to
categorically demand that Russia shall
not only discontinue her ornaments,
but shall also reduce her troops on the
frontier to dimensions which will no
longer threaten Austria's safety.

EX-SENATOR PLATT.
An Effort Being Made to
Gust "Me T0o.'
A TRAIN ROBBERY IN TEXAS.
Democrats Meet-Hopkins' Trial
Cherokee Leeislature-Etc.
Trying TO Gust Plat.

ALBANY. January 1.-THE trial oil
the suit brought in behalf of the State
to remove ex-senator Thomas G. Platt
from the office of quarantine commits
sioner at the port of New York, on the
ground of ireligibility. was resumed
to-day. The State seeks to show that
Plat is resident of Owego County
whereas the law requires that the com
missioner of quarantine must resi- e
within the metropolitan district of New
York.
A Tioga County witness was called,
and exhibited the poll tax lists of the
town of Owego, to show that Platt had
voted in that town since his claimed
residence in New York,
The washerwoman of the Platt family
was next placed on the stand. She
testified that she had done the washing
of the family for years at Owego,
receiving linen by express to
New York, and receiving her pay
by check from New York. This ended
the evidence for the people.
The defense moved to dismiss the
case, on the ground of lack of evidence.
The motion was overruled, and after
an opening argument by Lawyer Mo-
Farland for the defense, Piatt took the
stand and testified at length. to show
that while he was born and did bsIsi-
ness in Owego for thirty years, sind
still visited that place frequently, his
business and residence were now in
New York. Aside from his Office of
quarantine commissioner, his position
in the UniLed States Express Company
rendered his daily presence in the city
of New York necessary. He had con-
sidered Owego his residence until 1873
Since 1879 he has been to Owego en-
an average of about four times year.
Platt said be hal voted in Owego every
year since his removal, except 1888 and
1887. -
McFarland-"Why did you vote
there2" 81
This question was objected to by the
prosecution, and the objection was
sustained. The question was put in
several other forms, but was ruled out.
The witness continued: "There WAS
definite understanding between myself
and the express company, that on &C
cepting the position, I should take
up my residence in New York
/ have lived in New York City from the
time"I left OWego in 1879, down to
the present time. | did not, from 1879
EDWARDS. have any intention of going
back to Owego to live.
On cross-examination the witness ad-
mitted that he voted in Owego and
swore in his vote in 1880, taking a gen
eral oath as to his residence there. He
knew he was declared elected to the
Senate in 1884, as Platt, of Owego, and
did not call attention to the error, and
in his affidavit to change the venire in
this case last July. he made oath that
his legal domicile was in Owego.
Several witnesses testified that Platt,
when in New York, occupied rooms at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

committee of the whole upon the state
of the Union for the consideration of
the Presidents message.

the message to the committee on ways

The House then went into committee
of the whole on the little deficiency

A long debate ensued. and during it's
progress the question as to where the
responsibility for the defeat of the de-
ficiency bill at the last session rested
was fully discussed. The custom of
holding back the appropriation bills
also received considerable attention.
On motion of Burns. an amendment
was adopted, appropristing $1,000 for
the payment of judgments aid award ;
against the United States, on account
of damages caused by reason of the
improvement of the Fox and Wiscon-
sin Rivers.

Losing the Fight.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, January 11.-Only
one individual colliery in the entire
Shenandoah district is now in opera
ton. The William Penn Coal Com
pany was forced to shut down this
morning. An order was issued not to
give strikers any more credit at the
company's store. Similar action will
be taken by many business men
here. There promises to be perfect
coal famine here in the heart of the
coal field. Discomfort and dissatis &C.
ton is beginning to show itself among
the men. They are becoming conscious
that by embroiling themselves in rail-
road troubles they are losing ground
in their own fight, and they are not so
pleased with the fact.

Hopkins Trial.

CINCINNATI, January 1.-The Hop
kins trial was made up most altogether
of the cross-examination of J. W. Hoyt,
broker, through whom Hopkins gave
orders for speculation in Chicago wheat
for Harper. The court admitted the
record of the conviction of e. l.. Har-
per IS evidence. Broker Hoyt said he
had several accounts for Harper des-
ignated by letters, and said Hopkins
told him Harper did not want it known
that he was speculating, yet Hopkins
never gave Hoyt an order without con.
sulting Harper. Some laughter was
provoked when Hoyt said that when
he was asked to go to Chicago in June,
he was told it was by order of the Pope.
He explained that the name was used
to designate Harper.

The symptoms of Biliousness are an
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom q
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and turred,
it is rough, at all events.
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be q symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemorr-

be giddiness and often. headache and
