A MOUTH FIGHT.
Chandler and Call Have a Set
to in the Senate.
Rumored Attempt of Young
Blaine to Kidnap His Child.
Louisville Physicians Arrested
For Body Snatching.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-A number Of
bills were reported and placed on the
calendar. among them one to authorize
the purchase of gold and silver bullion
and issue treasury notes in payment. The
bill directs the purchase of silver bullion
to the amount OF 81, 500, 900 per month.
aud as much gold bullion as may be Of
fered, and the issue therefor of treasury
notes and repeats the law directing the
coinage of two million silver dollars per
month. Beck said the report from the
finance committee was not unanimous, as
be opposed it Sherman and McPher-
sou are also said to be opposed to the
bill.
The Chandler resolution offered yester
day was then taken M and a bitter de
bate between Chandler and Call followed,
after which the resolution was referred to
the committee on privileges and elections.
In the debate on the resolution offered
yesterday by Chandler censuring Call
ior Interpreting In the Record a para.
graph that had not been spoken; that it
was unparliamentary and personally often.
sive, Call rave notice to Chandler he
would arraign him before the senate and
demand an investigation by a committee
for makiug . false accusation. He (CalD
would convict the senator on evidence Of
his own that he had heard and knew thai
he (CalD had uttered on the floor Of the
senate substantially the whole of the
charge contained in the paragraph. he
would not ask censurc by the senate oil
Chandler. but would leave him to the
Judgment OF the country for having heard
his (Calrs) remarks and having had
neither the courage nor the manhood to
resent them.
Sherman declared the rules of the
senate had Just been violated by the sena
tor from Florida 10 as gross \ manner as
be had evor witnessed. When the United
States enate came to such a condition
that cowardice could be applied to a sen,
ator and that \ senator could be charged
with stating a thing falsely. it seemed to
him the senate was receding from its
dignity.
Call replied that if be was not at liberty
to state the resolution was not true and
that he can prove it. and that the senator,
when he made the charge. knew It VA not
true. then he didn't undsrstand the rules
OF the senate. but if in the Judgment Of
the matt it u improper to use such lan-
guage he would withdraw it.
Chandler oncs more explained his reso-
luton and added: The senator Call
used language about me which | didn't
hear. He wrote language in the report
accusing me of all the crimes in the deca.
logue, and he has now this morning
charged mo with being a coward for not
replying to that which l didn't hear and
which he afterwards wrote in the Record.
When the senate has decided which Ian
euaee it is parliamentary to use l will
take occasion to defend myself from all
imputations.

A RusTLINa FARMER

From the Nuriolk iNtbl Journal
Burr Taft, who runs farm on the Elk
horn river south of this city, furnishes an
example of what hard work and good man
agement will do in farming. MIR Taft
bought the farm three years ago. 1t was
grown up to weeds and in Il dilapidated
state generally. In the three years he has
occupied it, Mr., Taft has not only brought
the farm to high state of cultivation, but
he has made a clean profit of $1,000 per
year for his work, He raises everything
both stock and grain and root crops, and he
makes everything he raises count for prof
it, Mr.. Taft says he isn't worrying about
the low price of corn AS he never sells a
bushel but feeds his entire crop TO stock
He figures that his corn will net him q
cents a bushel this year, His advice to al
farmers is never To raise grain to market
in bulk, but to feed it all to stock, In thai
way bulk is lessened and freight saved
