Christian scientitts Censured in tho Vcr-
diet of Nh lows Jury.
DEs MONIES, Feb. 22.-Much interest ID
felt here over the invest igation of the death
of William Protzman. who, il was alleged,
died under Christian science treatment.
Protzman WAS - years old; had good
health until Dec. II last, whom he WAS at
tackled with collie. which grew into typhoid
fever. The jury found that he received no
medical treatment, except silent prayer;'
that dietary rules were disregarded, and
that he was otherwi.e neglected. The con-
clusion of the jury is that Protznan came
to his death by the practice upon him Of
the teaching of an association of persons
calling themselves Christian acientists, and
from no other cause. The jury further
say, in their opinion. that Protzman would
have lived had the proper treatment been
given him. II is expected arrests will be
made later on.

ONLY EIGHT DAYS MORE.
And Yet Congress Has Enough Work 10
KHep IL for Weeks,

WARRINGTON, Feb. N.--Only eight work
ing days remain Of the Fifty-nrst congress
and from now until the fourth Of March
the proceedings OF both branches will be
marked by haste. Tho chief effort in both
houses will be to secure early and complete
action on appropriation bills. OF which but
two, the army and the fortiGcation, have
yet become laws. The status OF the re-
mining appropriation bills are an follows:
Tho naval bill awaits tho approval OF the
conference report by the house; tho pension,
the district OF Columbia, and the military
academy bills are in conference; tho diplo-
matte and consular bill is awaiting an order
for conference by the house; the Sunday
civil bill has been reported by the senate
committee and is on tho senate calendar.
The Legislative, executive and Judicial
bills and the Indian appropriation bill are
IN senate COMMITTEES. and the postoffice.
the agricultural and general deficiency bills
await tho action OF tho house.
IL IL expected that tho senate will devote
its time during the week mainly to appro-
priation bills, beginning with the sundry
civil service tomorrow, and following with
the legislative and the Indian appropria-
ton bills. These measures are likely to
leave but little time for other subjects pro
yisionaIIy provided for in the order ofssbusi-
ness arranged by the republican Caucus.
The Nicaragua canal bill is the unfinished
business in this category, and following ii
are the pure food bill and The Conger lard
Dill; the army reorganization bill, the inter-
state commerce bill, the bankruptcy bill;
the land court till; the bill TO transfer the
revenue marine service to the navy depart
nent and the Pacific railroad funding bill.
The house adjourned in bad temper,
and its mood on reassemblin9 to- morrow will
have considerable effect on the course OF log
islation during the week. The postofIice
COMMITTEES OF the whole and tho considera-
ton OF the agricultural and deficiency bills
has not begun. The conference report on
the other appropriation bills will also con-
sumo part Of the time during the week. In
addition to these measursS there are the
copyright, the appellate court and tho In
dian depredations bills, which have passed
both houses, but need to be advanced
through the conference stage of legislation
before they can go upon the statute books.
The report OF the Kaum Investigating
committee and the recommendation of i'm
peachment in the case of Judge Boarman,
are matters of tho highest privilege on which
action OF the house is desired. II will thus
be seen that the house has large amount
OF work to accomplish. The silver bill is
not included in the schedule Of business ar
ranged by the majority. The silver men
expect to make one more effort to compel
vote on the silver bill. although in order to
90 30 it will be necessary to make some mo.
tion commonly regarded ~ not within the
purvIew Of the rules or parliamentary prac-
tice.
