WASHINGTON CRY, Dec 24-In the Senate
unanimous consent was asked for the pas
sage Of the joint resolution extending I'M
I'll July l. ls9l, the period during which
the laws of Nebraska shall be in force IN
the territory Of Oklahoma. Edmunds, ex-
planning the act creating the territory and
placing over il the laws OF Nebraska until
the close of the first session of the terri
torial legislature, said it was presumed
that the legislature would enact a code OF
laws, but il had failed TO do so and the
term Of It's service would expire today. Ii
congress failed to act now the territory
would be in a state Of chaos. Morgan OBJ
jeeted TO the consideration of the resoiu-
ton, and it was laid over.
Morgan called up his resolution direct
ing the committee on privileges and cleo
tions to amend section 81 of the elections

now in order to call up a resolution except
upon formal motion. Pending the debate

public building at Bar Harbor. Me-, on the
ground that the public needs at that place
did not justify such expenditure, for only
one public office. the postofticc, is TO be ac-
commodatcd. The president set forth the
fact that the rent paid for the postoiiice in
1855 was $500 One clerk was employed
and no carriers. The gross postal receipts
for that wear were 5000 Bar HaFbor is
almost wholly summer resort. The postal
receipts for 1880 show that during more
than half the year the gross receipts of the
postofiiee were about s. day. The presi-
dent says the salary of the lanitor for the
new building would be more than twice
the present cost TO the government for
rent, fuel and light. He cannot believe
that upon reconsideration congress Will ap-
prove the contemplated expenditure. The
message was referred to the committee on
public buildings and grounds.
The Senate adjourned till Saturday next,
with the understanding that when it meets
that day the yice-president shall declare it
adjourned until Monday.

RUSSIA AND HER SIHILIsTs.
An Incident In the Career of the Leader,
MendeIssohn.

New York sun.
The first man to whom the Paris police
turned in their search for the murderer of
the Russian General Selivestroff was Stan
islaus Mendelssohn, the acknowledged
head of the Polish revolutionary party in
France. He is cousin of the composer
Mendelssohn-Bart and a grand
nephew of the Berlin philosopher, Moses
Mendelssohn. Although not known in
France as the leader of the Paris
nihilists, for that parsonage has kept
his identity secret from all with
out the movement, his control of
the Polish revolutionists has long indi-
Gated that if not himself commander-in-
chief, he was very near to him. Mendels-
sohn is 50 years old. He studied medicine
in Warsaw, his birthplace, but was driven
from home before finishing his course for
completely in socialistic and democratic in
trigues against government officers. He
lived a few years in Austria and Germany,
suff, ring fines and imprisonment for the
persistent and open confession of his radi-
cal views. and returned for short time to
Russia, where he paid similar penalties for
similar offenses. He brought up eventually
in Paris several years ago with a comfort
able little fortune received from his family,
and the determination to agitate i'll q
foreign land for revolution at home.
His property, generosity and life of adj
venture at once gave him prestige among
his fellow countrymen, and he increased
his popularity by entertaining at his table
in his villa in the Fonteney-aux-Roses the
most unfortunate and helpless of his
political comrades He thus grew natur-
ally and unopposed into a position of
leadership of one of the many groups into
which the nihilists of Paris are carefully
organized according to birthplace, degree
of radicalism, or social tendency. The
moment the murder of Seliyestroff became
known to the Paris police, men were de-
spatched TO Mendelssohn's villa TO place
him under arrest. The result. however, was
rather farcical. Mendelssohn acknowledged
laughingIy that he knew Padlevski
who was suspected of the murder. had
often helped him financially and had shell
tered him. Recently, however. Mendels-
sohn said, he had lost sight of Padlevski
and knew nothing of the motive or plan
of the murder. Ii was certain beyond all
doubt that Mendelssohn was living when
he said he knew nothing of the planning
of the murder, If he himself did not plan
it. it is generally believed he encouraged
the planning of il and urged that it be ex-
ecuted, as it was executed. shortly after
the announcement in Paris of the sentenc-
ing 10 death of Sophie Guenzburg. Men
delssohn's completely could not be proved
or even legally presumed, so he was re-
leased TO continue his work of prOpagating
with word and purse the doctrines Of vio-
lent emancipation in Russia.

PUGET SOUND CUSTOMS DISTRICT.
Mitchell Wants Columbia River Cut on
From Washington.

WAsHINGToS CRY, Dec. 4.-(Special.l-
Senator Mitchell's amendment 10 the bill
passed at the last session establishing the
customs collection district of Puget sound
transfers all of the state of Washington
south of the forth-sixth parallel and west
of the junction of the Columbia and Will
lamette rivers, to the Oregon collection
district. Heretofore all the vessels putting
in at point within the territory described
were obliged to go TO Puget sound for
papers, entailing great loss of time and
money, and Senator Mitchell's bill is in
tended to overcome that difficulty.
Congressman Wilson is opposed to this
scheme, as he thinks that a deputy coll
lector stationed at convenient point ON
the Columbia would answer every pur-
pose, and that no change of the present
lines would be necessary. The treasury
department, however, seems to favor

WHEN DOES cooLIE LAW ExpIREg
Senator Mitchell Introduces Resolution
ON Chinese Exclusion Act.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 24.-ISpecial. /
Senator Mitchell today introduced reso-
lution, the object of which is the determi-
nation of the question rs to when the Chi
nese exclusion act terminates, there being
aquestion as to whether it expires in fs92
or lsai. The restriction act with its ten
year limit was passed in lSS2 and modified
in lSsI, and many of the senator's are I'M
able 10 say whether the time limit was ex-
tended two years by the legislation of 1854.
senator Mitchell also thinks that the
Scott act of lSSs is carried by the restric-
ton act and will fall with the latter, and
he wants to prepare for new legislation if
1t Is needed This will tend to reopen the
entire Chinese question. and the hight of
thirty months ago viii be renewed.

AN AMERICAN PROFESSOR KOCH.
DIR. Shirley, of Detroit, Has Discovered
Lymph to Fight Consumption.

CHICAGO, Dec. PA consumption cure,
invented by DR.. Shirley, of Detroit, is at
tracing much attention among physicians.
DR.. Ingalls,, of this city, has inoculated
several patients with it the past two days.
In an interview tonight ne said:
There are no immediate effects III this treat
ment, but Dr.. Shirley has dismissed several of
his Detroit patients apparently cured, after four
months treatment. The remedy consists of
hypodermic injections OF solution of chloride
OF gold and soda, or solution of iodine
These drugs have long been used for
consumption, but never in his way before. The
cure is a blood cure, and OF course takes some
weeks to have any effect The remedy is in
jected much as kochs lymph is, but its nature
aud effect are very different. 1t is an
alternate and does not, like the lymph, attack
and destroy the diseased tissue. Its effect is 10
change the nutrition of tissue. not TO destroy it.
IL Is, therefore, much milder than the lymph,
and its use is attended with no languor.
