THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Senator Hoar Preparing a Speech
Against the Fishery Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Paragraphs are
going about the New England press to the
effect that Senator Hoar is in doubt about
the fishery treaty and disposed not to oppose
it. Senator Hoar is now engaged in prepar-
ing speech in which he will oppose the
fishery treaty with all the vigor which he
can command. His speech will be delivered
somewhere in Massachusetts later in the sea-
son.
The Tariff Bill.
The Republicans have finally decided not
to agree to Mr.. Mills's proposition to take a
vote on the tariff bill at the close of the gen.
eral debate. AS Mr.. Kelley of Pennsylvania
puts it, to do otherwise would be to depart
from all the traditions of legislation and to
forego the right of offering amendments,
would be to sacrifice the interests immediate
ly concerned and represented by the Repub-
lican party.
As to the passage of the bill there is seri-
Gus doubt In its present shape there is no
doubt it would be beaten, but as it will be
amended and doctOred under the five minute
rule, every concession may gain a vote, and
finally there may be enough to get it
through.
This outlook has caused many Republicans
to be in favor of accepting Mills's PROPOSE
the bill and be done with it. but the older
heads believe it to be wiser to help Mr.. Ran
dali along in his efforts to reform the tariff on
a less radical plan than that proposed by
Mr.. Mills.

New York Yacht Club was held last even

devious at New London, August 8, to begin

The RattIesnake Bite.

washington STAR
The statement that $4,000 or 10000 reptiles
are kept in one room at the Smithsonian
sends chills down the backs of nervous peo-
pie. So many snakes, lizards, and toads let
loose on the smooth lawn of the park would
cause some excitement. However, only five
of all these reptiles have any life in them.
Those five are five rattlers, who are kept in
deep box with wire top, and vigorous
poking and punching with a stick starts the
music in their tails. When the five are
sounding their rattles together, they fill the
box with nerve-shocking sounds. The other
1895, or 10000 minus five (as the exact num-
Der may be), are securely corked in glass jars
IN alcohol and arranged on shelves like cans
of preserves. The curator of reptiles, who
is experimenting in search of an antidote
for the poison of a reptiles bite, told Star
reporter that it was not true that they had
yet discovered anything that they knew GER
tainly to be an antidote. Far from having
satisfactorily concluded their experiments,
they consider that they have practically just
begun. They have tried every alleged ahti-
date that has been suggested with the least
probability of success, and the only thing
they have found that has succeeded ia any
degree is fluid extract jaborandi,. which is
made from the South American plant Pilo--
CdIpuS lHO dCllfC dlhdlOu VI
this is Piiocapine. This has proved to be an
antidote in the case of rabbits subjected to
the rattlesnake poison. Where the snake
poison has been injected into the rabbit. fol-
lowed at once or within short time by an
injection OF this drug, the animal has recov-
cred. But it has been found to possess no
efficacy as an antidote in the case of a
chicken poisoned by the venom of the rattler.
A full application Of the drug has never yet
resulted in saving the chickens life. They
intend to try it on turkeys and pigs.
The story that one of the assistants had
been bitten by rattler and that the ''ant-
dote' had been applied with success the
curator pronounces as utterly false. He
says that no one has been bitten by the rep
tiles; that as a fact they are in such slug
gish state it is difficult to get them to strike
at anything. The only information he has
of jaborandi having been used successfully
to counteract the effects of a snake bite
comes from physician of France, who ad-
mlnistered internally draught of tea made
from the plant to girl who was bitten by
viper, and she recovered from the poison.

Catarrh TO Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t Is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object OF
their lives to rid themselves of it, Deceptive reme-
dies concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical
knowledge have weakened the confidence Of the
great majority of sufferers in all advertised rene-
dies They become resigned TO a life OF misery
rather than torture themselves with doubtful pail
iiatiyes.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and eombatted with all our might. In
MANY cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage OF the nose the
organs of hearing, of seeing and OF tasting SO az
fected TO be useless the uvula so elongated the
throat so infiamed and irritated as TO produce a
constant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in
curing, safe economical and never falling

CATTLE DEALERS INTERESTED
In Proposed Change of the Brigh-
ton Market.
rsnecial to the Press.l


AUGUSTA, May ia well known Maine
cattle dealer, whose operations in stock more
than equals the business of all the other
dealers in the State, said today, on his re-
turn from the Massachusetts, cattle markets
that well defined movement was on foot
among the droyers and cattle dealers of the
New England States, New York and Canada
to abandon the stock yards at Union Market,
Watertown. and have all the cattle land at
the Boston & Albany stock yards. Brighton,
and there hold two days market. This ar
rangement would obviate the necessity Of
dealers moving their stock by foot from
Union Market to Brighton after the sale is
over Tuesday, a distance of mile. I'm
doubtedly, he says, this change will be made
If the Boston & Albany Railroad Company
furnish the desired transportation. Several
private conferences Of cattle dealers inter
ested have been held, and all favor the
scheme.

THE PORTLAND CLUB.
The following associated press dispatch
was received here yesterday afternoon;
The New Bedford Standard this afternoon will
report the transfer Of the Portland Base Ball Club
OF the New England leage, under certain condi-
tions which are not likely to be met TO that city,
croft will be the manager Of the new organization,
which Is likely to be the present POrtlands mater
tally strengthened.
With reference to the report the secretary
of the Portland association says that some
days ago he received letter from Mr.. Ban
croft asking If they desired to sell out the
Portland franchise. The letter was not an
swered at once, but finally letter was yes
terday morning sent to Mr.. Bancroft asking
what he would give. No figures have been
named and the amount that would induce
the Portland association to sell Is so large
that there Is not the remotest prospect that
Mr.. Bancroft will offer to give even half Of
1t.
An Associated Press despatch received last
night says
"A meeting called by Manager Frank G.
Bancroft this evening to consider the pro-
ject Of purchasing the franchise OF the Port
land base ball club was not largely attended.
1t was decided to make an effort to organize
a stock company with a capital OF $1,000 and
a subscription paper will at once be elrcu-
lated among the enthusiast of the city. Ban
croft announces that the meeting must be
definitely settled Monday night"

that the College League is composed Of four
