met him At the door, and he was cs-
corted in and the doors were closed.
Only few other persons were present;
the duke of Portland, master Of the
horse; William Ashmead Bartlett
Coutts, husband Of the aged Baroness
Burdette Cortts, the owner OF . fine
stud; the wealthy duke Of Westmin-

others. whose privilege it II to bask in

WELLMAN, Ia, Dec. 3l.-A strange
case Of poisoning occurred near here tie
other day. Harry Ioder, aged three
years, saw his pet cat catch mouse.
lie took the mouse from her and began
playing with it. An hour afterward he
became deathly sick, his eyes swelled Sc
that he could not open them and ne
suffered terrible agony. Mr. Yodcr for
tunately returned home about that time
and knew the boy had been poisoned
lie gave him a quantity of sweet cream
TO drink and sent for physician. After
twenty hours of dreadful suffering the
boy was saved. The doctor explained
the case us follows: The cat in it's battle
with the mouse threw out poisonous
iluld, which the boy afterward got or
his hands from handling the mouse
Rubbing his eyes and putting his fingers
in his mouth carried the poison to his
system. The bite of a cat is not poison
ous under ordinary circumstances, but
when it is after a mouse for dinner il is
as deadly as a TattlcSnake.

While several thousand skaters were

tors, while the fortunate shakers lost no
time in reaching the river banks. When
the first shock was over, number of
people hurried to the rescue of the
drowning skaters and a number Of them
were pulled out, but it is feared many

A SENSATION IN THE SENATE.
Tho Republican Schism becomes Moro
Patent.

WASHINGTON, December 3O.-The
| scene in the Senate this afternoon was
memorable in many respects, but the
chief interest lay in the fact that the Re-
publicans held caucus in the open SEN
ate. The day had not been propitious
for the friends OF the force bill IN the
morning and an hodr had been wasted
in the effort to obtain quorum. Then
Senator Wolcott made an eloquent and
earnest speech against the bill then the
measure had been laid aside while Scn-
ators Stewart and Reagan discussed the
financial! question.
Finally the climax was reached when
Senator Teller began to abuse his COL
leagues Tor not bringing the measure to
vote, and charging that it was being
delayed by Eastern Senators in order
that 4 Senate financial measure might
not be passed. AS Mr. Teller proceed
cd with increasing emphasis, despite the
fact that his voice tremblcd with weak
ness duo to a recent illness, the Scna-
tors on both sides began to regard him
with the closest interest. The cloak
rooms were speedily cmptied and Sen
ators hurried from their committee
rooms.
When Mr. Teller had concluded, after
| attacking the proposed closure bill, Mr.
lloar rose to reply. lie twirled book
on his desk in nervous manner. and in
an apoloTctic speech threw the blame
| OF non-action on Senator Allison, whose
absence, he said, had prevented the con-
sldcration Of amendments to the bill in
committee.
Senator Hale then arragncd Senator
lloar for his management of the bill, and
Senator 1loar retortcd by dcnouncing
| all the Senators who had paired with the
Democrats.
Senator Mitchell, with a smile Oh his
| brown-bcardcd face, suggested that his
Republican colleagues had better hold a
caucus. Finally, when nearly the whole
Rcpublicsn side was in the snarl, Scua-
tor IIawley moved that the Senate 90
into executive session, and this brought
the debate to Il close.
During the whole time not a Demo
cratic Senator opened his mouth to
speak, although all of them enjoyed to
the utmost the display Of lack of harmo.
ny in the enemy's ranks. The Demo-
Gratis are iubllant tonight over the out
burst OF bad feeling, and are encouraged,
especially as Senator Teller openly adj
vlsed them to leave the chamber anG
| break a quorum if such action would dc.
feat the bill.
The action OF Senator a ldricn in offer
ing the closure resolution yesterday ha(
caused the Democrats to seriously con
slider the necessity for united resistance
but tonight they are more hopeful 0
the .luturc OF the country. News an,
