Yesterdays Proceedings of the Grand
ParlOr at Fresno.


Copyright, 1885, blythe California Associated Pressl
FRESNO, April 1Sth.-At the morning
session of the Native Sons Grand Parlor
100 delegates were present. The Legisla-
tive Committee reported that the Monu-
ment Committee was not legally organized
and could not carry out the orders of the
Parlor. The committee was discharged
and another committee will be put in its
place
The committee appointed to prepare a
ritual, submitted the following plan: The
committee will receive rituals from SUBJ
ordinate Parlors up to January 1, 1889, and
select one from the number and present
the same to the Grand Parlor at the next
meeting for adoption. Should no rituals
be sent in by September l, 1885, the COM
mlttee will prepare one, and $500 will be
paid for the ritual adopted.
Resolutions of respect to the memory of
ex-Grand Secretary Houston were adopted.
A motion to celebrate Admission Day
but once in three years instead of annu-
ally, caused much debate, and was de-
feated.
A motion to allow person depositing a
withdrawal card to draw benefits from the
Parlor Joined, if he had been entitled to
the same in his former Parlor, was de-
feated by close vote.
Tomorrow is fixed upon as the last day
of the session, and the election Of Grand
Officers was made the special order of
business.
The grand annual ball was held in the
armory tonight and 500 persons were
present. 1t was grand success through
out.

Insects In Ears.

Few troubles are more annoying or more
productive of serious difficulty, if not re-
moved, than insects in ears. Lying upon
soft meadow grass, or sleeping upon camp
bed of fragrant spruce, bugs of different de-
nominations seem possessed with a desire
to inspect our auricles. Once inside, their
frantic efforts to escape cause such agony
that people have gone temporarily crazy
with it. This may be instantly stopped
by pouring the ear full of sweet oil, which
sutfocates the insect, and he is easily re-
moved later by a syringe and warm water
Avoid intruding pins, etc, into the ears.
Much harm may thus be done to their del
icate mechanism, and little to the cause of
all the trouble. If oil is not readily ac-
cessible use water, which is almost as good.
Earache in any form may be quickly re-
heved by filling the organ with chloroform
vapor from an uncorked bottle, vapor only,
not the liquid; and mammals bag should
always contain small vial Of it, as it is
useful many ways. Ten drops upon lump
Of sugar is an excellent remedy for hic-
cough or ordinary nausea, and have re-
called to life more than one person pro-
nounced dead from sunstroke with half
teaspoonful, clear, poured down his throat.

CONGRESSIONAL rRocEEDINGs.


WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.-In the Senate
to-day an adverse report was made from
the Committee on Foreign Relations on
the Riddleberger resolution for the con-
sideration of the fisheries treaty in open
session.
The land forfeiture bill went over as I'M
finished business, and at o'clock the
Dakota bill came up, and Sherman took
the floor in support of the bill. He re-
piled in an impassioned manner to Mr..
Vests illusions to the unfair methods in
the election of President Hayes. He
claimed that every suspicion ever cast upon
the integrity of that proceeding had been
repelled and that it stood in history as q
matter in which the Republican position
could not be impeached.
Sherman showed by the vote in the
Senate that the Electoral Commission bill
was not Republican, bIt Democratic
measure. Twenty-six Democrats had
voted for it, and only twenty one
Republicans, while the votes against it
were fourteen Republicans, including him.
self, and one Democrat, Eaton of Connect
cut. The Democrats were therefore pre-
cluded from assailing the bill as partisan
measure. He declared his full conviction
that Hayes had been fairly and legally
elected, and that if by some hocus-pocus
Tifden had been inaugurated, he would
have been illegally installed He explained
the incongruity of Packard not getting the
Governorship of Louisiana, by showing
that that was subject to local laws and de-

wAITE's SUCCESSOR.
The President Said to Have Selected
Phelps for Chief Justice.

Ahe fresiuent Safu TO Have Selected
Phelps for Chief Justice.
ICopyiigh, 1855, blythe California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 18th Leading Dem
ocratic Senators are of the opinion that the
President will appoint E. J. Phelps, of
Vermont, at present Minister to Great
Britain, TO be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. Phelps is in the city, and he has
had an interview with the President.
Until yesterday the friends OF Senator
Gray did not abandon hope of his appoint
ment, but now they say he was defeated by
the petition signed by all the Democratic
Senators asking his appointment The
President resented the interference" " of
the Senate in the matter of this appoint
ment. Phelps is sixty six years of age,
lacking only four years of the time when,
if appointed, he would be eligible to retire
ment on full pay for life. He is first
class LAWYER and sound Democrat.
Senator Edmunds, Chairman of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, would undoubt-
edly undertake to secure the confirmation
of his distinguished constituent. A South
ern Senator of prominence said to-day that
Phelps could not be confirmed without
opposition. He said that quite number
of Senators who were in England last
summer met Phelps and were disgusted
with his snobbishness and affectation of
everything English. Notwithstanding this
criticism, if nominated he will unques-
tionably be confirmed.
