WASHING TON, April 2l.-In the tenn
p1rary absence of Vice President Nor
ton. the chair was occupied today by
Mr. Henderson, president pro TEN OF
the senate. Mr. German gave notice
that Oh Friday, May g, he would ask tile
senate 10 consider resolutions relative
to the death of his late colleague, Mr..
Wilson. The senate then proceeded to
the consideration Of bills on the calen-
dar. Among those passed was one to
establish military post near Helena,
Mont, and appropriating 500. 900. The
house bill, 10 prohibit absolutely the
coming OF Chinese persons into the
United States, was taken up fer consd-
Grafton, and Mr.. Chandler moved TO
amend it by making the term Of eXclu-
son fifteen instead of ten years.
Mr.. Dolph said lie disagreed with Mr..
Sherman, who had expressed the opin-
ion yesterday that the existing exclu-
sion act would not expire till 1894. lie
quoted certain provisions Of the act OF
1891, amendatory OF the act OF 1882. and
argued that his construction Of the law
was the correct one, and not Mr.. SheI
mans construction Of II. Mr.. Dolph eX-
pressed his anxiety 10 have some prac-
tical legislation secured without delay.
If the house wanted some more strin-
gent measures of Chinese exclusion, 1t
could pat all amendment on the senate
bill, and let the matter 20 to confer
enc.
Dir. FELTON, made speech composed
largely of an indictment against the
Chinese race, which had (he said) a
sovereign contempt for Western civil
iZatiOn and religion.

SHAW BOUGHT PICCOLO.
The Winnipeg Thoroughbred
Brought His Owner $1,000.

Brought His Owner $1,000.
There is an interesting story connect
ed with the presence Of Piccolo, the i'm
ported horse. at the Hamline track. He
was owned by p. D. Rowe, a Winnipeg
furrIer, and was bought by him for only
500. In Winnipeg Pieeolo showed bad
form. lie seemed to be utterly unfit for
race work and was frequently beaten by
Leon. but he was entered in the Twin
City Jockey club meeting, and he was
brought here under very peculiar cir
cumstances. 1t is hot generally known
that the province is undergoing a peri
odlcai smallpox scare, and Mr.. Rowe
was unfortunate enough to fall victim
10 the quarantine embargo, and was
held at Calgary. in Alberta, while ell
route for st. Paul. But he had the
courage of his convictions. He
saw in Piecolo a coming racer.
and he induced two merchants to under
take the mission. These two merchants
brought the horse to st. Paul, and his
performances have not disappointed the
Judgment OF the man who so pluekily
worked out the campaign. In other
words. Piccolo's showing was such as to
challenge Secretary Frank Shaw's I'M
equivOcai admiration, and he soon opened
negotiations that have led toa bill of sale
and Piceolo. who ran the sensational
mile and twenty yards finish with Lu-
ellie lMaRette yesterday at Hamline, is
now Mr.. Shaw's property. The consid-
Grafton was $1,000. He will probably DE
taken East, for he is developing so as
tenlshingly fast that he may become
great stake horse before the END of the
season.

CH0LERA'S RAVAGES.
Superstitious Frenzy Drives At.
f1icted Russians to Commit
Horrible Atrocities.
Physicians and Druggists MUIR
dered, and Hospital Patients
Dragged Out TO Die.

Boston, Aug. IA letter has been
received by Wolf Greenberg, of this city,
from friend who is a soldier in the
Russian army.giving some details Of the
present situation there as regards the
cholera. He says that although the
government is doing all it can to pre-
vent the spread of the disease, and
every train is obliged to submit to ex-
animation, people are often found in
feeted, OR even dead upon the train.
Continuing, he writes:
The people are carried away by a
frenzy of superstition. and go about
from town to town bearing huge crosses
aloft and singing as they march, be-
lieviHg that such ceremonies will drive
away the plague. In Astrachan, after
the mob had killed all the medical men
they could find, they dragged the pa
tlentS from the hospitals into the streets,
giving them various common antidotes
for poisons. Some were taken home.
others died in the streets, and those
who were able to walk escaped. carry
ing the disease to different parts of the
surrounding country. The hospitals
were burned and no one allowed to in
terfere In order 10 protect them. When
the governor OF the province appeared
and read the riot act the mob stoned
him and then proceeded to plllage the
shops. Finally regiment of soldiers,
after deal of bloodshed. dispersed the
rioters.
The common practice is the building
by elders, quietly at night, of a big
wood and kerosene fire in a circle
around town and then awakening the
Inhabitants by shouting through the
town. The sea is on fire." 1t is be-
lieved that the terror inspired by the
sudden awakening OF the people and
the glare of the ferceIy burning pyres
completely banishes all thought of
cholera and any future danger thereof.
Many serious fires have resulted from
this practice. Doctors are offered as
high as 500 roubles month for services
by the government, but they will not
accept, neither will medical students.
owing to the fear Of Ignorant and super
stItious inhabitants. The writer In
closing speaks of the ravages made in
the army by the terrible disease, men,
ti0ning one instance where a whole
company was wiped out, and he ends
with the expression that perhaps this
letter will be the last one he will ever
write.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1T.-Despite

era is spreading in MINI Novgorod.
