WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-In the senate
today, the following bills were intro
duced and referred:
By Quay-To prevent force and fraud
in federal elections, and to insure the
lawful and peaceful conduct thereof.
By Stanford-To provide for the ex-
tension of the executive mansion.
Vest introduced, by request, bill to
repeal the act amending section 764 OF
the revised statutes Gas to appeals to the
supreme court), and made an explana-
tion in regard to it. He referred to the
case OF the Japanese murderer, Jugiro,
sentenced to death by electricity, the
appeal in whose case was denied by the
supreme court; and said the attorney
for the prisoner had applied for another
writ of habeas corpus to the same court,
and claimed that he could bring up an
appeal on a writ of habeas corpus as
often as he could find new ground
of application. His own judgment. as a
lawyer, was that no further legislation
on the subject was necessary. But the
Judge before whom the last application
came held that he was compelled to
grant an appeal to the supreme court
whenever the ground alleged was differ
ent from that formerly presented. So
the result was inevitable (if that decis-
ion was correct) that the sentence Of
death would be absolutely defeated by
continued appeals to the supreme court,
which would last during the prisoners
natural life. and would be only limited
by the ingenuity of his lawyer. The bill
was referred to the judiciary committee.
Frye offered resolution, which was
agreed to, calling on the secretary Of the
interior for information concerning the
allotment OF Indian lands in severalty on
the Omaha reservation, and the surren-
der of its occupation to white people.
The motion heretofore made by Plumb
to reconsider the vote passing the senate
bill to establish record and pension
office in the war department, etc., was
laid on the table, and the bill now goes
to the house.
The senate then resumed considera
ton of the finance bill. Platt gave notice
that at the very first opportunity after
the finance bill was disposed of: he
would ask the senaJe to consider the
copyright bill.
Paddock gave notice, that without re-
gard to the copyright, or any other bill,
he would, at the first opportunity, ask
the senate to take up his pure food bill.
Allen then addressed the senate in
advocacy OF Stewards amendment.
Berry and Cockrell also spoke in favor
of it..
Allison took the floor and the bill was
laid aside.
The senate bill for the relief of Nathan
Kimball, postmaster at Ogden, Utah, al
lowing him $l329 for postal funds stolen
or embezzled, was passed.
Adjourned.

ton to 60 to the bottom of the matter
and ascertain facts enough to Justify
recommendation to the house.
Finally Rogers, of Arkansas, offered q
resolution (Which was adopted) as an
amendment to Dockery's resolution,
providing for the appointment of q spe-
cial committee of five members to inves-
tigate the alleged connection of members
of congress with the silver pool, and to
inquire into the ownership of the IL, ,000,-
600 ounces of silver bullion which the
United States was asked to purchase.
The diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was reported and placed on
the calendar.
The house went into committee OF the
whole on the army appropriation bill.
Stone, of Missouri, taking advantage of
the wide scope Of the general debate,
entered upon general denunciation of
the elections bill. In the course of his
remarks, he referred to Mr.. Lodge as
representing the Oscar Wilde type of
craftsmanship, and to Senator Hoar as
the maternal masculinity who repre-
sented the New England Pecksniffs.
Grosvenor then took occasion to speak
on the plea OF no sectionalism brought
up by Lannon. of Texas, Saturday.
The debate then drifted into general
political and sectional talk, in which
Glosvenor arraigned the Democratic
party for not honoring worthy ex-con-
federates, and Spinola wanted to know
why the northern Republicans did not
give offices to the negroes.
Finally the army bill was taken up.
Bland offered an amendment providing
that none of the appropriations for the
pay of the army shall be paid to officers
detailed to state colleges and institu-
tions. This was ruled out on point OF
order, from W hich Bland appealed,
pending which the committee rose, and
the house adjourned.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Dockery's Silver Pool ResOlution-Sec-
tional Debate, Etc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-In the house
today, Dockery rising to a question oi
privilege, offered a resolution recitine
the fact of the reference of his ''silvel
pool" resolution to the committee on
rules, and the fact that the committee
refused to report the same, and direct
ing the committee to report the resolu-
tion to the house for consideration.
Dingley, of Maine, made the point
that the resolution did not involve a
question of privilege. He changed the
phraseology of the pending resolu-
tion, so as to discharge the COM
mittee ON rules from further
consideration Of the resolution, so as to
bring it now before the house.
Mckinley, OF Ohio, said whether or
not the resolution involved matter of
privilege, it had nothing to do with
the pending question. 1t was referred
to the committee on rules, and that
committee was now considering the
matter. He had not the slightest OBJ
lection to the broadest investigation,
but until the committee made it's re-
port, motion to call up the resolution
was not question of privilege.
Mills of Texas contended that the
original resolution referred to the dig
nifty and integrity of the members of the
house. The house did not lose juris-
diction of the question because it referred
its consideration to one of the COM
mittees. The question for the house was
to determine whether it should recall
the subject. There was no doubt as to
the power of the house. The question
was one of propriety, and this question
must be considered with reference to the
length of time the resolution had been
beforethe committee. The resolution
had been referred on the first day of the
session. The session was now half gone,
and nothing had been done. The house
ought not to adjourn until it exculpated
the innocent and placed condemnation
where it rightfully belonged.
Adams of Illinois argued that the res
olutlon did not involve question Of
privilege.
Crisp OF Georgia said there was no ex-
press rule authorizing the discharge OF
the committee, but this was not an ordi-
nary case. The original resolution was
unquestionably of the highest privilege.
If the committee refused to report the
resolution, motion to discharge it was
privileged.
The speaker inquired whether the
gentleman believed the resolution was
one of privilege.
Crisp replied that he had assumed
that the speaker had so held.
The speaker stated that he had not.
On the contrary, in a somewhat similar
case, he had ruled (and the house had
sustained his ruling) that the resolution
did not present question of privilege.
After some further debate the house
decided. by vote of 148 to 80, that the
question raised by Dockery was one ot
privilege.
During further debate, Mckinley said
the committee had desired to make a
thorough investigation, but the mover
OF the resolution had disclaimed any
personal knowledge in the matter, and
the correspondent Of the Globe-Demo.
crat refused to make any statement, OF
even to say who was the author OF the
article. The committee had the inten-

SUNDAY OPENING.
The Eintracht Saloon Burglarized for
Five Dollars.

Sunday night, between s and 10
O'Clock, some unknown thief entered the
Eintracht saloon, on Spring street, op-
posite the court house, effecting an en-
trance by the rear door. The only
thing of value movable in the place was
the cash register. This the burglar
took out behind the saloon, in a vacant
lot that abuts on New High street. He
wrecked the nickel-plated little ma
chine, and rifled it of about $5 in silver.
The saloon may point to this as one of
the effects of Sunday closing; for had
the saloon been open at the hour given
the burglary could not have been COM
mitted.

A Waste of Raw Material.

How sad it is to contemplate the
selfish Indifference to the welfare of
others that marks the average human
being. In how few breasts the
golden rule of doing as you would be
done by finds place.

saloon last night, and ScOOped the

that he's hiding in the brush round

The Outraged community" promised
to comply with this very reasonable
request, took pull at the old mans
flask, and passed on.
And now for the contemplate
sequel. Nearly month afterward
the granger discovered the remains
of the four-acer lying in the midst Of
the chaparral, right where he fell,
where not even a buzzard could have
seen them-where he was of no sort
of good to anybody on earth.
1t is occurrences like these that
shake our faith in human nature,

ask, "Whither are we drifting2"

An Unexpected Dox1iIolirs

which is incorporated in all his pray
ers. When this period of his invoca-
ton was reached, the other night, the
congregation was thrown into state
of CONSERVATION by a copious fall of
water from trap-door directly over
the minister, drenching him through
and through. The services were
checked by this extraordinary fulfill
ment Of the preachers supplication,
and tranquility was not re-established
until an investigation revealed the
cause of the unexpected downpour.

Girls Who Make Poor Wives.

I never see a petted, pampered girl
who is yielded to in every Whim by
servants and parents, that | do not
sigh with pity for the man who will
some day be her husband. 1t is the
WOrshiped daughter, who has been
taught that her whims and wishes
are supreme in a household, who
makes marriage failure all her life.
She has had her way in things great
and small; and when she desired
dresses, pleasure or journeys which
were beyond the family purse, she
carried the day with tears or sulks, OF
posing as martyr. The parents
sacrificed and suffered for her sake,
hoping finally to see her well married.
They carefully hide her faults from
the suitors who seek her hand, and
she is ever ready with smiles and al
lurements to win the hearts Of men,
and the average man is as blind to
the faults Of pretty girl as a newly
Matched bird is blind to the worms
upon the trees about him. He thinks
her little pettish ways are mere girl
ish moods: but when she becomes his
wife and reveals her selfish and cruel
nature, he is grieved and hurt tC
think fate has been so unkind to him.

He Knew His Friend.

Two wealthy retired lake captains
and vessel owners, one living in the
city and the other in a suburban vii
lage, recently met. The city man
was interested in church building
enterprise, and he handed his old
chum a subscription book. The re-
cipient of this attention demurred,
saying he was not interested in that
particular church.
Never mind" said the city captain
in a bluff manner. "YOu must give
something"
"HOW much have you given?" asked
the suburban captain suspiciOusly,
for he knew his friend.
Nothing yet," trifle uneasily;
"but | expect to-.
Nov, look here, you don't expect
me to do more than you are willing
to do"
Il simply haven't made up my mind
yet. You can't get out of it that
way, and must put your name down. "
"Will you give as much as [ do?"
looking the solicitor straight in the
eye.
"Yes-that-is-yes-why, yes, GER
tainly." Be it known that the city
captain, while active in all good
works, is reputed to be, like Barkis,
So little near"
AL right" promptly replied his
friend, with suspicion Of grimness
about the smile on his lips, and tax
ing the book he put his name down
for $500.
The city man gasped, but he was
too much of a sailor to finch, and
down went his name for $500 also, a
sum which he was abundantly able to
give. The church building fund is
about 5000 richer by reason of that
little Ounter.-Cleveland Leader.

An American lady visiting in Eng
land one day rashly alluded to fleas
by their common name, and it was
only when her English listeners
looked slightly Mortified that she
realized that she should have spoken
of those offensive insects as If sharps,
or applied to them some equally
cuphOniOuS title. That unfamiliarity
with them is confined to their names,
rather than their persons, may be
guessed from the following story,
which is told about a propose enter
tainment Of performing heas, long
while ago, before the King of Prussia.
All the royal party had assembled
about platform, on which the cX-
hibitiOn was to take place. The en-

the affair, shook his bushy name and
rolled his eyes in anguish, while he

soul into his eyes and voice, he APP

less. There can be no entertainment
without him. An unfortunate en-

Preaching Against Fortune-Tellers.

The Rev. Father Wall, rector of ST.

his parish the other day, particularly
the married women, on the practice
Of patronizing fortune-tellers and
wizards who read the past, present
and future,
when q person visits a fortune
teller to ascertain his fortune, he
goes to find out what God alone, and
no one else, knows. When you give
to fortune-teller your presence, and
make him or her believe that they
have a fOre-knOwledge of seeing the
inside view of the future, you adore
him and make him believe he has
power not given to the devil. If you
think he can peer into the future,
you make him the equal Of God.
Therefore, you have strange gods be-
fore Him, and violate the first COM
mandment.
eve find youths, young girls, and
especially married women, making a
practice of this sin. If you deliber-
ately visit a fortune-teller you are in
dulging in mortal sin. If you go
out of pure thoughtlessness, it is not
so bad but it is a sin, nevertheless.
1t is the same thing as going to an
idol and giving your heart to it.
This is idolatry Of the worst kind.
| would like to impress on your minds
that fOrtune-tellers compose the
worst characters in the community.
One class of the business is fortune
telling and the other is the seduction
and ruin Of youth. To my own
personal knowledge / know of persons
who have been ruined by consulting
these people. I warn all persons Of

extend this knowledge, that it is a
mortal sin against the first command
ment. Avoid them and their nefari-

He Was Selfish.

Az Arabic anecdote, illustrative of
the Subtleness Of scltishness, which
enables it to glide into the heart Of
a saint, is told of the holy Moham-
medan, Sal<ati.
He said that for twenty years he
had never ceased imploring divine
pardon for having once exclaimed,
Praise be to God" On being asked
the reason for such persistent pray
ing, he answered:
a fire broke out in Bagdad, and
a person came to me and told me my
shop had escaped, on which | uttered
those words: and even to this mo-
ment | repent of having said so, be-
cause it showed | wished better to

Different Shades of Gold.

Gold in use, either in coins or
jewelry, is invariably alleged, al /
this changes the color to so marked
an extent that the pure article is not
considered properly tinted or just the
correct thing. Even pure gold varies
in shade very much, the Australian
article being many shades darker
than the Californian, although
neither approaches the Asiatic prod
yet in point of redness. The Austral-
ian sovereign, worth about IS, is the
reddest coin in circulation, while
European coins generally are lighter
than ours. In America the alloy
used is much harder as well as dark
6r than that used in Europe and the
difference between the loss from
abrasion or rubbing amounts to thou
sands of dollars every year in favor Of
the shipments across the Atlantic
east as compared with the shipments
west. An absolutely pure gold IS
piece would wear away to an alarm
ing extent and would be objected to
as light weight before it was many
weeks old,
