MELINE FOR PREMIER.
He Finally Agrees to Try to Form q
New Cabinet.

PARIS, Feb. 15.-Opportunist and moder-
ate journals, commenting this morning ON
the vote in the Chamber of Deputies yester
day on the motion to indefinitely postpone
the debate on the bill for revision of the
constitution, say that carte blanche has
been given President Carnot to exercise
perfect liberty in the construction OF new
cabinet and to form one accord
ing to his own choice Radical
papers assert that after NJ. Fioquet's over
throw by the opportunists no republican
concentration is possible. The copserva-
tive and Boulanglst organs claim that
the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies
is now more than ever necessary The
chamber, they say can no longer be relied
upon
WORKING FOR FLoQUET's RETURN.
The deputies of the radical left are trying
to procure the return of M. Floquet to
office.
The Temps recommends the formation OF
cabinet which shall be entrusted only with
measures for the development of industries
and the protection of public order.
The Bourse to-day opened steady and
closed strong on rumor that M. Leon Say
would become minister of finance.
President Carnot has decided to ask M.
Meline to form cabinet with M. Floquet
as president Of the chamber.
Felix Pyat places the whole trouble to
the credit of M. Ferry. He says thai M.
Floquet was half dupe, half accomplice,
and played into NJ. Ferry's hands.
Nj. Meline paid voluntary visit to Pres
dent Carnot late this evening and expressed
his willingness 10 form his cabinet.
TO REPLY TO BoULANGER.
At a meeting of the extreme left, at

slders the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The ways and
means committee of the House at its meeting
this morning practically decided to report

mitted this morning. the committee took
up for consideration this bill which was Of
fered by Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee The bill
was read through, but pending a vote the
hour Of adjournment arrived and the com
mittee adjourned The bill is substantially
the same as the Mills BILL with the excep-
tion that the cotton and chemical schedules
of the latter bill are struck out, as is also
the iron schedule, with the exception of the
provisions relating to pig iron, railroad
ties, structural iron and tin plate.
The free list in the McMilliu bill is almost
identical with that of the Mills bill. 1t does
not include mola>ses, laces for hats and
sponges, which were the principal articles
placed on the free list by the Senate finance
committee. One or two articles which
were on the free list in the Senate bill and
were not included in the free list of the
Mills bill are added to the free list of the
latter, but it is said by tie members of the
majority OF the committee that there are
only very few articles on the Senate bills

A REVENUE REVIEW.
Speaker Carlisle Confident That There
Will be no Reduction.

Speaker Carlisle Confident That There
Will be no Reduction.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Speaker Carlisle
saws again that there will bs no revenue re-
duction at this session. In the fifteen legis-
lative days remaining there will be nothing
done he thinks, except to range the parties
in the House in line again. The resolution
declaring the Senate substitute for the Mills
bill unconstitutional will be called up in the
House on Tuesday. Mr.. Mills thinks it will
command the support of majority of the
House since the House has declared the
same thing again and again before, but he
hardly expects the republicans to support
it, although he has cited republican prece-
dents in his report.
RANDALL ANGERED.
And then this afternoon Mr.. Mills angered
Mr.. Randall by objecting to his reporting
his internal revenue bill, and Mr. Randall
may draw off some Of the democrats from
him. Assuming, however, that the reso-
luton is adopted and the Senate bill is bur
led the ways and means committee will
then bring forward their new tariff and in
ternal revenue bill, outlined in these dis
patches, and which will probably be re-
ported tomorrow. Mr.. Mills thinks this
will receive a majority of the votes in the
House if a vote is reached on it. Mr..
Randall may interfere here too, but Mr..
Mills does not think the Senate would pass
the bill if the House did.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE BILL.
As to the Randall internal revenue bill
he will have to get it reported before he
can do anything with it. Its report is not
matter Of privilege, and so Mr.. Mills
objection defeated it to-day and it cannot
be made except by unanimous consent until
the committees are called for reports. Mr..
d.; I,ll hot will ha 70,
but it may be deferred until the ways and
means bill is reported. When Mr.. Ran
dall's bill is reported it Will either
90 to the committee of the whole
or go back to the committee
on appropriations. The tariff reformers
will probably be able TO prevent its speedy
consideration. They will never allow it to
pass. Mr. Randall was highly indignant
this afternoon at Mr.. Mills objection, which
prevented his reporting his bill. He thought
he would get it right in, but Mr. Mills took
advantage of his opportunity.

DROUGHT.

From week to week there came no rain,
The very birds took flight
The river shrank within its bed,
The borders Of the world grew red
With woods that famed by night
No rest beneath the fearful sun,
No shelter brought the moon;
Lean cattle on the reeded fen
Searched every hole for drink, and mon
Dropped dead beneath the noon
And ever as each sun went down
Beyond the Keeling plain,
Into the hooking sky uprist.
Like phantoms from the burning west
Dim clouds that brought no rain.
Each root and leaf and living thing
Fell sicklier day by day,
And l. that still must live and see
The agony of plant and tree,
Grew weary even as they.
But oh, at last, the joy. the chance;
With sudden sigh and start
I woke upon the middle night,
And thought that something strange and brigh,
Had burst upon my heart.
With surging OF great winds, lull
And hush upon the plain,
A hollow murmur far aloof,
And then roar upon the roof,
Down came the rushing rain.

TELEPHONE EAR.
A New Disease That is Attracting Some
Medical Attention.

A New Disease That is Attracting Some
Medical Attention.
You have a telephone ear. You
may not know it, but you have all the
same. 1t is the left ear. for it is on
record that only very small percent
age of men and women use the right
carat the telephone. AS matter of fact,
the telephone has suddenly come into
prominence as medical proposition,
and unless the scientists are mistaken
the bulk of men and women who use
the telephone within few years may
expect to find themselves rather hard
of hearing in the left ear. This is be-
cause when using the telephone every
muscle and nerve of the ear is strained
to catch the faintest sound from the
person speaking at the other end An
eminent eye and ear specialist, was
asked the other day if he bad heard
of any cases of deafness from the tele-
phone.
1T is rather difficult to state exact
ly," he replied. Il have seen where
the repeated sound of an instrument or
the repetition of any sound has caused
deafness. Telegraph operations are in
danger of injuring their sense of hear
ing. Boiler-makers often suffer from
deafness. In the construction of boil
ers it is necessary for one man to be
inside the boiler and the other outside,
and the incessant noise caused by the
riveting of the boiler always causes
either deafness or an affection of the
ear. AS to the telephone, it no doubt
has the same effect. 1t is natural and
reasonable TO suppose that person
listening for a sound, and not knowing
the moment when it will come, NAV
injure the membrane of the ear, and in
time this might affect the hearing
power. Chicago Times.
