passage of hush money into their hands;
no one of the witnesses saw the money
actually paid over.

The President Tuesday returned to
the Senate, without his approval, q bill
to amend the Act as to Circuit Court of
Appeals in cases of Indian dcpreda-
tons. 1t was laid before the Senate,
read and referred to the judiciary com
mittee. The effect of the provisions OF
the bill-the President thinks-would
be to defeat the general purpose of Con-
sress in constituting an intermediate
court His chief objection, however, is
to the third section, which provides
that no appeal shall be allowed from
the judgment of the court of claims in
these cases. There Were 10000 OF these
claims, aggregating $30,000,0 900. A mum
Der Of them involved 100000 each, Il
few as much as half million, and one
over q million. lie could not approve u
bill which absolutely denied to the gov
ernment an opportunity of appealing
from judgments in such cases.

LECTURE no POLICEMEN.
Police Surgeon Charles L. Baird Gives Use.
full Instructions to Police Officers.

full Instructions to Police Officers.
In the Council chamber at the city
hall Tuesday evening Police Surgeon G.
e. Baird delivered lecture to police
officers on the best manner of resusci.
tating persons rescued from drowning
and persons overcome by the heat. The
surgeon also touched upon other cases
which come TO the attention of the
police on their various districts. The
plan of lecturing to the police has been
adopted in all the larger cities.
In regard to removing an injured or
helpless person, the physician said a
stretcher should be used, and if the per-
son suffers from shock or loss of blood,
heat exhaustion or fainting spell, his
collar should be loosened and the head
carried on Il level or even lower than
the body. If the symptoms be sun
stroke, apoplexy or profound intoxica,
ton, the head should be slightly ele-
vated above the level of the body and
kept cool by cold water or ice.
DIR. Baird then instructed the officers
what to do in case of broken limb,
fracture of the spine, unconscious
patients who are vomiting, and detailed
the treatment of persons overcome by
the heat. Such u person should be
carried to cool place, his head kept
below the level of the body and clothing
about the neck removed. Stimulants
given and hartshorn applied to the nose
would help to revive. In case of sun
stroke the body should be wrapped in n
wet sheet and the surface of the body
sponged with ice water.
After instructing the officers what to
do in case of the bleeding of an artery
or vein and how to stop bleeding by the
bending of the joints, the lecture was
concluded. 1t will be repeated in a
short time.
