Speaker Crisp WIKI Probably Meet the
President-Elcct To-Day

Speaker Crisp WIKI Probably Meet the
Presilent-Elcct To-Day.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Speaker Crisp
is still in the city. but intends to leave
here this evening or tonight for New
York. He will be in tho metropolis a
day or two, and will call on Cleveland
and have talk with him. No hour
has been fixed for the meeting of the
President. elect and the Speaker, and SO
far as can be learned nothing has been
signified to Crisp as to the matter to be
discussed. 1t is probable that at this
meeting of the two most influential Of
hcers of the Government. there will be
general exchange Of opinion on the
whole legislative outlook and to some
extent on the political situation. The
question of an extra session of Congress-.
1t is reasonably certain, will be one of
tho topics considered, and the Speaker
will give to Cleveland the opinion he
entertains on this matter.
1t is not at all likely that any final
and absolute determ ination with refer
ence to an extra session will be reached
for some time or until the cabinet slate
Is partly made up. AS is we'll known
Speaker Crisp is inclined to favor an ex-
ira session soon after the 4th of March
for the purposes of organization, while
President-e lect Cleveland favors an OK
ira session in the autumn, but is not al
together averse to an earlier special
session IL there were assurances that it's
life would be short and it's field OF &C.
tivity restricted.
Tho cabinet problem may be taken up,
but Speaker Crisp has no person to urge
upon Cleve land for cabinet office.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27.-Numerous
arrests continue to be made at Kien of
persons suspected of Nihilism Nino
moro officers are among those impris.
oned. either under suspicion or by di.
rect charges in connection with tho CON
spiracy against tho Gear. Tho Russian
police believe that they have unearthed
widespread plot in which number
not only of tho lower officials, but also
three OF the higher ranks, are involved
and many officers having positions of
trust and confidence near the person OF
the Car have been put under surveil-
lance, although not under arrest, being
given leave of absence from duty.
There is much discomfort in the army
with tho prolonged period of peace, and
many officers think that tho Car is too
pacific in his disposition There is no

goes on more earnestly than ever, the
leading official prosecutor being Grand
Duke Sergius brother of tho car and
husband OF Queen VictOria's grand
daughter. He seems determined to
turn every jew out of the city.
The Jewish population of Moscow has
already boon reduced from about 80, 900,
when Sergius became governor, to about
5000 and the number continues to de-.
crease under the added rigor of penal
laws and intolerable severity of their
enforcement. BY the new law, which
has recently boon put in force, only ten
out OF hundred Jewish lawyers in
Moscow and St. Petersburg arc allowed
to practice, while in Warsaw and Rus

A blizzard visits ChnrIeston

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 27.-A biz
card struck Charleston this morning
and for tho first time in fifteen years
tho house tops are covered with thin
coating of snow and sleet. The mer-
cnry averaged about three or four de-.
grees below freezing point during the
day, and pedestrians not being accus-
toned to ice had hard time getting
along tho sidewalks. Orange trees in
the city are somewhat injured. and will
probably bear only one crop this year.
They usually bear two crops. Plantain
and truck farm crops are not far enough
advanced to suffer any damage. Straw
berries are we'll protected and the plants
will escape without serious trouble.

Exit Pendulum.

A couple of Eastern scientists,
who have been trying their hands at
inventing and experimenting, are
said to have discovered perfect
substitute for the pendulum, now
such a necessary attachment to
clocks and all other large timepieces.
The new invention, or discovery,
consists of a hydraulic escapement,
itself piston or plunger that is
propelled upward or downward once
every twenty-four hours through a
cylinder filled with mercury This
unique timepiece is perfectly noise
less. 1t stands on the mantle as
quietly and as unobtrusively as the
statue of Shakespeare or the Chi
nese vase, the only sound that
escapes from it being from the bell
at the time when it strikes the
hours. Those who ought to know
say that the invention perfectly sup
plants the discovery of the great
Calico. The head man of a great
clock making establishment, who has
carefully examined it, says that it is
destined to revOlutionize clock-mak
ing, being so perfect and Inexpensive

namely, fish. The argument which
this we'll known author had advanced
in favor of the fish theory was very
strong. Leprosy appeared in all
parts of the world indilferently, yet
the largest number of cases wore to
be seen on the islands of the ocean
and along the seacoast. Further, it
was believed to exist more among
that class of people who ate their
fish nearly raw, in partly decom-
posed state, or preserved, 1t was
not impossible, too, that bacteriology
would prove the development of the
germ of leprosy in the flesh of fish
under certain conditions. The
author thought, at any rate, that
this offered more satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of the development of
X. the disease than the theory of
contagSon. While, of course, it was
not impossible for the disease, if it

by contagion, yet the degree of con
tagiousness must be extremely small,
and could not apply i'll certain in
stances which had come under his
observation. He had seen two or
more patients in whom leprosy had
developed in this country, and who
had never come in contact with any
other lcprous person. He also men
toned, as a not unlikely source i'll a
few instances, vaccination. In the
case of Father Damien, he thought
the probable source of the infection
was through mosquito bites.
His conclusions were: |, that there
was no warrant for the popular
theory that leprosy was a contagious
disease; :, the disease was not con
tagious iii the ordinary acceptation
Of the term, or as that word was APP
piled to smallpox, syphilis, etc; 3, it
was probably due to the presence of
a lpIitlllNlSs lli'IN NNI' SNl'iiSo iNo
, sons to suspect that this bacillus
might be introduced into the system
by way of food, especially fish; 5,
, there was evidence that the disease
might under favorable conditions be
transferred from one person to an
other; 6, heredity probably account
ed for share of the cases; Z, there
was no necessity for segregation; 8
f there was far more reason for placing
T. restrictions about patients with

, those suffering from leprosy.

SHE is a COUNTESS NOW.
from The Neto York Times.

One of the Most NauseatinR Events in
the Annals of London Society"
Harold Frederic in the Ne1 York Times.
Only the marriage Of the dancer, Connie
Gilchrist, TO the t1at-skulled, vacuous young
noodle, the Earl of Orkney ssyed the week
now ended from being absolutely unevent-
full in London's polite world. The peerage
has bad a good many queer recruits from
the music hall stage and variety green
rooms In the course of its battered career
but perhaps no other so distinctly
precious as Connie. 1t would be say
ing too much TO describe her as
years in England, but don't think it would
be far from the mark. She has not even
the saving grace Of a light heart and of a
merry humor, but is a cold-faced, shrill-
voiced, shrewish sort OF a person on the
stage, who got engagements in pantomImes
solely on account OF her legs and ducal no.
toriety. Her being solemnly given away by
the Duke Of Beaufort, who, in point of
blood, is more of Plaptagenet than The
queen, lent a strange completeness to this
aristocratio function. Comics name and
fortunes have been openly linked with
those Of the rakish old duke for a
dozen years or more, but it is only.
now that the explanation is vouchsated
that she is really his daughter, Public
opinion Is extremely slow to accept this
pleasant hypothesis. However this may be,
as Countess Orkney she is entitled to walk
seventeen places In front Of the Countess of
Warwick aud thirty-fivs in front Of
Countess Spencer. Perhaps this precedenoy
over higb-born danes of spotess repute and
ancient linesge, however. d oes not interest
her 80 much as the fact that she is no less
than eighty-five pegs above the Countess
Clancarty, who erstwhile danced In the
same variety halls as Belle Billion.
