WEAvERyILLE, Feb. 1.-THE news of
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-21

During the past century there has
been great revolution in the depart
ment OF medicine, as in everything else.
The old methods, to great extent, have
been laid away forever, and guided by
new scientific discoveries, and the ele-
walton of hitherto hidden truths, the
people of today see clearly and surely,
where before they saw through the glass
darkly. Among the greatest exemplars
OF this new regime are the Drs. Darrin,
who have their Office at Hotel Ramona,
corner Third and Spring streets, Los
Angeles.
For the benefit OF those who are not
already acquainted with their mode of
operating by electro-magnetism, and
who may be seeking aid, though dis
trustful, after many failures of every
body and everything, DIR. Darrin makes
the extraordinary and most generous
offer to treat the afflicted free OF charge,
between the hours Of 10 and IL a. m.
each day, until further notice, to prove
to the community at large his ability
and skill. That the Drs. Darrin have
effected extraordinary cures after all
efforts elsewhere have failed, is fact
supported by the strongest evidence.
Their cures, moreover, are rapid and
permanent, as shown by the following
testimonials:

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Nicaragua Canal Bill Strongly OPP
posed.

The Nicaragua Canal Bill Strongly OPP
posed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The senate to-
day passed 145 pension bills and then
proceeded to consideration of the Nicar-
apgua canal bill.
Vest, in opposing the bill, said if
Great Britain assumed that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty was in existence (and the
senate has no intimation that it did not)
then it was fair to assume that the gov
ernment of Great Britain would act as
the government OF the United States
would act under similar circumstances
If Great Britain should, in spite of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, undertake to
build canal across the isthmus with
out the consent of the United States,
would Great Britain be satisfied when
told that her conduct as to BaliZe and
the Mosquito coast had destroyed the
Clayto Bulwer treaty? If the senators
were prepared to say to the British EN-
pire that they would determine the ques-
tion without any reference to her inter-
ests or wishes, then let them say that
and accept what would be the conse-
auences-if not war, a condition cf ami
mostly, antagonism and distrust which
would operate injuriously on the inter-
ests of both countries and the world.
Edmunds asked if Vest thinks the bill
is violation of any obligation of the
United States toward Great Britain or
any other foreign country.
Vest--I think unless Great Britain has
itself abrogated lthe treaty, this does.
The remainder of Vests speech was
devoted to the argument that the inter-
ests of the United States were sacrificed
to those of the concessionaries of the
canal company, who. had organized
among themselves a construction COM
pany, with which the maritime COM
pany made contracts.
I Morgan explained that if the work had
to be done by a company it would cost
$240, 900, 900, while under the pending
bill the cost would not exceed 500, ,000,-
600. So, instead of the shippers having
to pay $3.50 ton. they would not have
to pay more than 81 ton.
Stewart gave notice of an amendment,
providing that the chief of the engineers
of the army shall have supervision and
control of the construction of the canal,
and that the work shall be subject to
the laws. rules and regulations Of con-
gress or the war department.
Davis opposed the bill. He said the
pending proposition was in plain terms
a subsidy to the extent OF 100000, 900
to build work lying entirely outside of
the national domain, and traversing a
foreign country. 1t was his opinion
that if the canal was to be constructed
at all, it should be done by the govern
ment directly, like any other work Of
public improvement.
Edmunds spoke in defense and advo-
cacy of the bill, and without action the
senate adjourned.

prevention of the forty-minute debate
allowed under the rules.
Cannon replied in the affirmative;
that in view of the dilatory motions al
ready made on the Democratic eide, un-
der the lead OF McMillin, the Repub-
licans accepted notice from that side
that it did not desire to facilitate busi-
ness.
McMillin said the Democrats would
meet Cannon's programme at every
point.
Blount moved to recommit the resolu-
tion, and, on the yeas and nays, great
body OF the Democrats left the hall.
The vote resulted: Yeas, p; nays, $50,
the clerk noting quorum.
The question then recurred on the de-
mand for the previous question, and
having demanded the yeas and nays,
McMillin lcalled the Democrats from the
cloak room to his support. Having
obeyed the signal long enough 10 accom-
plish McMillin's object, the Democrats
once more disappeared.
The motion was carried, $50 to 8, a

d. Taylor offered an amendment provid
ing that the salary shall be increased
$500. No quorum voted, and the house
took recess.

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The house
coinage committee today, by a vote OF
s to A, decided to report the senate free
coinage bill adversely, with the recon-
mendation that it do not pass.
The four members in the minority
were Carter, Bartine, Bland and Will
liams. The two first named are Repub-
icans and the two last, Democrats. The
majority was Wickham, Walker, Com
stock, Knapp and Taylor, Republicans,
and Tracey, Wilcox and Vaux, Demo
Gratis.
When the free coinage men found they
were defeated in the senate free coinage
bill, Carter moved as substitute
First, bill for the free coinage of Amer
lean product silver, and next one for the
purchase of ten million ounces of silver
5or three months, and six million ounces
each month thereafter. Both were de-
feated. Only Carter. Bartine and Bland
voted for the first and Carter and Bar
tine for the second proposition.
The senate free coinage bill will now
20 to the foot of the overburdened house
calendar with the committee recon-
mendation that it do not pass.
Before the committee closed it's hear
ings this morning, Congressman-elect
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, argued in
favor of free coinage. The farmers de-
manded more money, he said. He did
not care if free coinage did cause foreign
silver to come to the United States he
wished it would. 1t could not come too
soon, for it would give the people more
money.
Alonzo Widdell of South Dakota,
Pierre Humbert of Boston and Senator
Stewart spoke in favor of free coinage.
e. B. Bacon, representing the chamber
of commerce and merchants associa-
tion of Milwaukee, submitted an argu-
ment against free coinage.
The silver bill will be reported to the
house tomorrow. The majority report
will not go into an argument of the
question.
The silver men generally are disposed
to regard today's action as practically
the end of silver legislation for this con-
gress. An effort will be made to have
the bill acted on by the house, but its
friends do not express hope OF success.
The anti-silver men are we'll pleased,
and Representative Walker expressed
the opinion this afternoon that the bill
would never see the light again in this
congress.

The following report was adopted:
Your committee on membership re-
ports that it has examined the list of
membership and looked over the resig-
nations that have been presented, and
is of the opinion that many OF these
may be induced to remain in the cham
ber. Your committee therefore re-
quests further time in which to see
these members and report upon them.
Your committee also thinks that
systematic canvass of the city for new
members should be made, and to that
end recommends that the committee be
increased to fifteen members, tempo
rarily, three OF whom will canvass each
day, until the entire city has beeu
canvassed.

The Rumored Abandonment of the
Tenth-street Hotel Proven to be a
Hoax.
1t was reported on the streets yester-
day that the new hotel project was to be
abandoned owing to the unsafe condi-
ton of the foundation walls. A re-
porter was at once dispatched to ascer-
tain the facts in the case. The whole
report proved to be hoax, the work Of
idle tongues. The foundation walls are
as sound as the rocks of Gibralter, as
firm as the place held by Quaker Oats
in the estimation Of the public. If you
