JACKSONVILLE, Jan. DIR Paul Gibier,
the distinguished French bacteriologist,
who has been investigating the pathogenic
germ of yellow fever in this city and state,
started this morning for Washington to
offer his services without charge to the gov

vital question. He will proceed to New
York and lecture on the subject, and will
doubtless make disclosures in this connec-
ton, which will be of great interest to the
scientific world DR.. Gilier has been
honored by the confidence of his govern
ment in investigations Of the cause of
cholera, and was decorated with the star of
the Legion Of Honor for valuable contribu-
tions to the etiology of that disease.
HIS CREDENTIALS.
DIR. Gibier is accredited to this country
from France as one of the most learned and
painstaking scientists of the age. He is the
author of nearly thirty works on phvsiol-
ogy and psychology. and for young man,
not yet in his fortieth year, has achieved
an enviable renown. If his services are
accepted by the government at Washington
he will ask for a secluded island off the
Florida coast, where he can make investlga-
tions without danger to any locality, with
animals to be inoculated with fever germs

In the House.

The prospects are that when the House
meets tomorrow morning, after the holt
day recess, it will Immediately proceed to
consideration of some one of the appropria-
ton bills now on the calendar. The river
and harbor bill, reported to the House Dec
II, has the right of way of the appropria-
ton bills, aud Chairman Blanchard will
cali it up for further consideration the fl st
thing tomorrow. He intends to push its
consideration, and will try to secure an
early vote upon it.
The unfinished business is the bill to in
corporate the Nicaragua Canal Company,
which has been favorably reported to the
House with amendments from committee
of the whole The friends of the bill will
call it up Friday, and try to secure vote
upol it.
Should opportunity offer this week, Mr..
Crisp, from the committee on elections,
will call up the South Carolina contested
election case of Smalls VS.. Elliott. The
settlement of this case will leave only one
other contest to be disposed of-Snllivan VS..
FELTON,, Of California.
QUORUM WILL BE PRESENT.
There will be a quorum of both Houses
present tomorrow. Senators and represen-
tatlVes have to watch their local interests
too closely in a short session to be absent
during its remaining days. In the two
months left, practically nothing will be
done but to pass the appropriation bills. 1t
is considered certain that the river and
hsrbor bill will pass, although it may be
showed aside at first by the regular appro-
priation bills The opinion spreads that
the President will either pocket it or veto
it directly. The republicans of the senate
finance committee worked all day at the
amendments with which they are tinkering
the senate tariff bill as hard as their col
leagues worked at calling and receiving.
They will probably be occupied with this
task for some time and will probably fill in
the time in the Senate with appropriation
kills

The Collector refused him admittance,

to test the a,titutionality of the Scott
act. in accordance with the provisions Of
which the Collector acted The Califor-

case comes here on appeal. This court
affirms that judgment. 1t holds that
Congress has mower to abrogate treaty,
and in suppoi of that view cites authori-
ties of the courts on the subject, holding
that the propriety OF such action is not a
matter of judicial concern, but that it is
matter for the political department.
Congress, it says, has power to exclude
aliens from the country whose presence
IS deemed inimical to our interests.
