THE ESCAPE.
"All is ready. Tonight l will make the
attempt TO escape or die"
Just ut dusk, when all was hustle and
activity with the return of the convicts from
the work shops to the cell-houses, Robert
Wynne deity eyaded joining the line.
Instead he secreed himself behind a
pile of marble, and lay there awaiting de-
velopments.
1t was very foolhardy thing for con.
Wet to do, unless immediate escape Of

His absence would be detected at the
cell house at once, and search would be
made for him.
He would be severely punished for this
1ereliction of duty. and more closely
watched in the future.
But Robert Wynne had counted all the
cost of his bold attempt to escape,
He had lined the carrying out Of his plans
with great accuracy, and knew just how to
proceed.
At that hour tho guards were changed,
and, as he knew, there was brief lapse of
time when the gates were not guarded.
The prison yard was deserted as he cropt
from his place of concealment toward the
gates.

Restraining Immigration.

PTrTsBURG, Dec. 2l.-The members of
the congressional committee on pauper
immigration are arranging the prelimi,
nary for an investigation here tomorrow.
Congressman Ford says the immigration
laws are positively violated. The com
mittce will recommend the following IN
dies: That the work of inspection be
taken out of the hands of the states and
put under federal control; that foreign
ers be examined on the other
side before they board ships, either
by our ~consuls OF by inspectors
appointed for the purpose; that the steam
ship companies be furnished with blanks
on which shall be printed certain ques.
tons which the applicants for passage
shall be compelled to answer. These
blanks will be examined on this side be-
fore landing. IF it is found that perjury
has been committed the person will be
prosecuted. If the steamship companies
do not comply with these conditions and
prohibited immigrants are found on their
vessels they will be compelled to take
them back free of charge.

Serious Consequences of the

"ParsOn" Davies Proves Equal

Gossip About Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-Gen. Harri-
sons visitors to-day were not nearly as
numerous as yesterday. Quite a number
of Western veterans who attended the
Loyal Legion banquet remained over to-
day and were among the callers. Ex-
president Hayes with his son Rutherford
b. drove out to Gen. Harrison's. When
Gen. Hayes called with the members of
the Loyal Legion yesterday Gen. Harri-
son expressed a desire to see him alone
and an appointment was made for a talk
this morning. 1t is supposed the main
purpose of the conference was to obtain
from the ex president some information
acquired IN his experience as chief magis-
trate. 1t is believed by some politicians
that Gen. Hayes will be offered a mission
abroad by the new president. During
the conference the other day with Gen.
Britton, chairman of the Inauguration
committee, it is learned that Gen. Harri-
son made a request that the survivors of
his old regiment, the 18th Indiana, should
constitute his escort at Washington.
Heretofore federal troops have been the
guard of the president elect on Inaugural
ton day.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Dec. 20.-The
delegation of manufacturers, etc, from
this city who visited Gen. Harrison
returned this morning. Fred. l.. Sloss,
one of the delegation, remarked: I'VE
will not know whether we live in Indiana
or Alabama so far as the treatment we
receive from Gen. Harrison is concerned. "

DR.. Mackenzie in his little book
about the crown prince and his treat
ment has a few pertinent words about
the Use of cancer. He says:
There can be no question that the
determining cause of its appearance is
in many cases an injury, such as a
blow, or a condition resulting from an
injury, such as a scar, or the persist
ent application to a particular spot Of
something that keeps the tissue in
famed and angry, such as a Jagged
tooth'which chafes the tongue. Work
ers in paraffine and petroleum are pc
culiarly liable to cancer of the parts
which are habitually exposed to the
action of these substances. 1t is we'll
known that a particular form of cancer
which formerly was common enough
IN England is now almost extinct,
simply owing to the fact that the cause
which produced it has ceased to exist.
When SCOT commanded a good price it
had to be sifted. This operation ma
turally involved much of friction
against the skin, whereby irritating
particles were rubbed into it, and
chimney sweeps cancer was a fire.
quent result. Nowadays it does not
pay to sift the SCOT, and the disease to
which it gave rise has disappeared.
Among the causes of local irrita-
ton heat is certainly one of the most
active. By far the most common seat
of the malignant disease in men is the
mouth, which is more exposed than
any other part of the body to irritation
by hot substances. Every surgeon is
familiar with this fact. Whether it be
a lower lip, on which the hot stem of
a clay pipe or the %smoldering paper Of
a cigarette has rested day after day, or
a tongue exasperated by the frequent
contact of acrid tobacco smoke, or the
mouthpiece of a foul pipe, or made
raw by ardent liquors, or stung and
blistered by fiery condiments, the cause
is essentially the same-viz., the scar
ing of the superficial covering by pro-
longed heat. In some places, where
hot brasiers are often applied to tho
abdomen and thigh, cancer of these
parts Is not uncommon, though all but
unknown in either of these situations
elsewhere. M. L. Holbrook, NJ. D.,
in Herald of Health.

No Salt Placer CLAIMS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The secretary
of the interior has rendered a decision
rejecting the application of Elias Crane,
E. W. Crane and F. Oliver for a patent
under the mineral act of May 10. 1872,
for Salt Bluff placer mine located In the
Salt Lake, Utah, land district. The
secretary holds that no authority exists
for the disposal of saline lands or salt
springs belonging to the United States
except under the provision of the act of
Jan. ~, 1877, which does not apply to
the territory OF Utah and that the policy
of the government is and has been from
the earliest date to reserve all saline lands
and to dispose of them only by specific
acts OF congress.
This is said to be the first instance in
which application has been made to enter
government salt deposit lands to be
worked as placer.

Big Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--The house
went into a committee of the whole on
the river and harbor bill. Cummings of
New York said it was only a little over
six years since President Arthur had
vetoed a river and harbor bill appropriate
ing $40, 00c, 900. The country had stood
aghast at the immense sum. The house
had passed the measure over the presi-
dents veto. That bill had been passed
in the August preceding a congressional
election. Within three months the PEG.
pie swept its warmest supporters into
political oblivion. Now this bill came
up two years before the congressional
election. but let not its supporters hug
the delusion that their action would be
forgotten. If the pending bill passed the
fiftieth congress would have appropriated
S34, 600, 900 for river ano harbor i'm
proyement in five months and fifteen
days. He was willing to vote the fullest
appropriations for the benefit of genuine
arteries of commerce, but unwilling to
have large sums expended on incense
quendal streams.
Fitch of New York spoke briefly in
opposition to the substitute OF which
Grain gave notice yesterday, increasing
the aggregate of the bill to $22, 900, 900.
The reading of the bill by paragraphs
having been entered upon, the committee
rose and the house adjourned.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The senate
met at IL a. ~. The house amendments
to the direct tax bill, were concurred in
in. 1t was ordered unanimously that
voting on the tariff bill begin at | o'clock
p. NJ. Jan. 81, after which there will be
no further debate.
Morrill, offered an amendment to the
house holiday recess resolution providing
for a recess from Dec. 81 to Jan. 2, which
was agreed to.
Gibson offered a resolution. which was
ordered printed, for the appointment OF a
select committee Of thirteen senators to
inquire into the state of suffrage through
out the United states, especially to inves-
tigate the election OF the state officers at
the state elections held in November in
Rhode Island and Louisiana and the
presidential election in New York and
Indiana. The resolution is very broad in
scope and permits investigation into all
sorts of unlawful aud irregular practices,
including conspiracies. trades, combina.
tons, intimidations. the corrupt use of
money, the purchase of votes, false
registering, false voting, stufing ballot
boxes and bribery.
On motion OF Sherman the action of
the senate on the direct tax bill was re-
considered and the bill was referred to the
finance committe.
When the tariff bill was laid aside the
progress was found to be about ten pages.
The senate took up the private pension
bills on the calender. All of them, ninety
in number, were passed in fifty minutes.
The senate then went into executive ses-
sion. When the doors reopened the sem
ate bill to open abandoned military reser-
~vations in the state of Nevada was on
motion of Stewart taken from the
calender and passed. Adjourned.
