NO MORE NIGHT SESSIONS.
The Senate Again Adjourns Without q
Decisive Vote.

The Senate Again Adjourns Without a
Decisive Vote.
THE Senate met at II a. M, on the 10Th,
thoroughly refreshed and ready for re-
newal of the great election bill contest.
Senator Blair fresh from his New Hamp-
shire defeat, was in his seat and so also
was ingalls,, who was reported to have gone
to Kansas. There was a very full attend
ance on both sides, and the galleries, in an
ticipatiOn of hot work before the day was
cut, were well filed. 1t was evident from the
talk of the Senators that there would be no
more night sessions. All-night sessions
have never been popular in the Senate, and
there are several Senators who will posi-
lively refuse to repeat the performance of
the 10th. Senator CullOm presented to
the Senate thirty-fve petitions in favor
of the Torrey bankrupt bill from about
/ 900 prominent business houses in Chicago
Many of these firms heretofore protested
against the enactment of the bill, but are
now urging it's immediate passage. The
election bill was taken up as the unfinished
business, and Mr.. George took the floor
in opposition to the measure. After a
statement Of the action of several States on
the subject of negro suffrage (after it had
been imposed on the SOuth) Mr. George re-
marked that in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and
Wisconsin the question had been submitted
to the people and had been rejected Uy large
maiOritieS. He asserted that the COnStltu-
ton of the State of Oregon, adopted in 1857,
contained provisions prohibiting the immi-
grafton of negroes and their settlement in
the State and in fact, outlawing them,
and he asked Mr.. Dolph whether
those provisions had been changed. Mr.
DOlph said the Constitution in question had
been framed when Oregon was hOpelessly
Democratic The constitution had not
since been amended, Mr.. George-Then [
understand that those provisions are, phys
ically in the constitution of Oregon? Mr..
Dolph-DOes the Senator mean to state that
they are to-day the expression of the judg
ment of the people of Oregon? Mr.. George
Oh, no; but they are the expression of the
Judgment CT the people of Oregon at that
time, and the people of Oregon have not
seen proper to recall them in the same SOL
emn and formal manner. Mr. George
yielded the floor while the Vice President
laid befN'e the Senate the message from
the President transmitting the agreement
made with the Grow Indians for the sale of
the western part of their reservation in
Montana, He afterward resumed his
speech, but, without concluding, yielded
for a motion to go into executive session,
and the Senate soon adjourned.

The Berlin Doctor Tells the World How 1t
Is Made.
Prof Koch's report describing the compo-
sition of his lymph is comparatively brief.
1t says the lymph consists of a glycerine ex-
tract derived from the pure cultivation Of
the tubercle bacilli. Prof Koch says:
Since publishing, two months ago, the re-
suits of ray experiments with the new rem
edy for tuberculosis, many physicians who
received the preparation have been enabled
to become acquainted with its properties
through their own experiments. So far as
have been able to review the statements
published and the communications received
by letter, my indications have been fully
and completely confirmed. The general
consensus of opinion is that the remedy has a
specific effect upon tubercular tissues, and is,
therefore, applicable as very delicate and
sure agent for discovering latent and dag
nosing doubtful tn berculOsis processes. Re-
garding the curative effects of the remedy,
most reports agree that, despite Tne COM
paratively short duration of its application,
many patients have shown more or less
pronounced Improvement. 1t has been
affirmed that in not a few cases, even a
cure has been established Standing quite
by itself is the assertion that the remedy
may nor only be dangerous in cases which
have advanced too far-a fact which may
forthwith De conceded-but also that it
actually promotes tuberculous process,
being therefore injurious

Reports Indicate an Increase in Volume
During the Week.
z. G. Dan & Co. S weekly review of trade
says.
How far the situation and prospect may
be changed by the passage of a Free Coin
age bill by the Senate is as yet mainly a
matter of conjecture Reports of the state
of trade at different points reflect mainly a
situation prior to that vote, and show gen.
eral improvement in the volume of business,
easier money markets, and a more cheering
outlook. The exports of merchandise
heavily exceed imports in value; at
New York for January thus far the
increase in exports over last year has
been 81, 400, 900, or about IL per cent, while
the imports here show a decline of So, 900,
600, or about Is per cent. The preliminary
reports of exports of cotton, breadstuffs,
provisions, cattle, and petroleum in De-
cember were almost unprecedented. Hence
cember was very large in spite of the de-
higher prices tend to prolong. For the
last week, with wheat cent higher,
corn and oats practically unchanged, and
cotton three-sixteenthS higher, exports of
wheat have been only about half of last
years, of flour less than quarter, and of
corn only One-eighth, while the exports of
cotton show decrease for the week in spite
of a considerable increase in receipts.
Pork has not changed, but lard and hogs are
lower, oil is 1 "a cents lower, and the specu-
lative markets are generally weak outside
of those above mentioned.

Canadians Buy Large snare OF Our hog
Product.
When the tariff changes were announced
last year Canada pork-packers estimated
that the duty imposed on pork would be
something like Sc per barrel, and this they
thought would enable them to compete sue
cessfully with their American confreres,
but their success has not materialized,
and its failure to do so is alleged to
be due to the Interpretation of the
tariff by the Minister of Justice. The pack
ers maintain that it was the Governments
intention to have all pork but mess, which
was to pay one and one-half cents per
pound, pay three cents per pound, but that
through an oversight the schedule, instead
of reading mess pork read simply pork one
and one-half cents.
