Programme of the Week for
 House and Senate.
THE ALARM OVER GOLD EXPORTS

Secretary Foster Says the Reserve in the
 journment of the Monetary Conference
 is Resarded-Mrs. Morton Too Ill to Re-
 turn to the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-With the ap, proach of the holidays the attendance in both Houses of Congress is steadily di- minishing and it is doubtful whether a quorum can be maintained in either the Senate or the House during the few days that remain before the Christmas recess begins. In this state of the case it is i'm probable that any business that promises to arouse opposition will be undertaken, which negatives the possibility of action on any subject of large popular interest.
 In the Senate adjournm ent has been taken to-day as mark of respect to the memory of the late Senator Gibson of Louisiana.
 In the morning hour tomorrow the McGarr ahan bill will be further dis cussed. This measure has been allowed to occupy the morning hour by unani- nous consent as long as any one cared to speak upon it. MT. Wilson, of Iowa, has entered the lists, and as he is understood to have made thorough study of this famous claim his remarks, together with the rejoinders that will doubtless be made may prevent the Senate from reaching a vote on the proposition to pass the bill over the veto, until after the holidays
 The anti-Option bill still hangs over the heads of the Senators as the unfinished business and will come up for further dis cusSion after the morning hour on each of the three working days remaining before the recess, but it is not expected a vote can be reached in that time. The programme of the House has been definitely outlined for three of the four days on which Congress will be in SC ,sion before the holiday recess.
 To-day is Committee Suspension Day, | and the roll of committees will be called and an opportunity given to each com
 mittee to pass one bill, provided it can se cure d two-thirds vote and escape a point | of no quorum by even one member. Tomorrow is made special order for | bills from the Committee on Public Lands, and Wednesday has been similarly allotted to the Commerce Committee. Thursday is chiefly set apart for ad | journing over the Christmas recess, anC | apparently will not otherwise be note worthy.
 After the holidays the appropriation l bills will begin to monopolize the time o the House. Thus far the Army bill, re ported by the Military Committee, is thu l only one of the regular annHal appropria | tion bills on which action by the Hous' has been had

ANOTHER SUPPOSED VICTIM.

 Have Keen Poisoned by Hom mesteaders.

 This is the first case of the alleged pois- oning reported to the coroner, and q thorough investigation will be made. Coroner Mcdowell says he will have 3 chemical analysis made of the stomach liver and kidneys to ascertain if the mar died of poison.
 Sim was 42 years of age and was em- ployed as a laborer. He had been sick eight weeks and was reduced in weight from 180 pounds to 90 pounds. He was taken to the hospital Saturday.

MIR LABOUCHERE of London Truth has plan which he offers gratis to Ameri- cans to prevent the transfer to heirs of enormous fortunes like that left by the late Jay Gould. He would impose a pro- gressive death tax on all beQuests, so that after certain figure was reached all the rest would revert to the state. To most people it will occur that Mir Labouchere should first try his scheme in Great Britain before recommending it to us. He will find there an ample field for its working. The thousands of worthless and. corrupt noblemen the titles and lands of most of whom, as Burke says, "were vicious in their ori- gin," and who now tax the industrious and deserving poor to increase their ill- gotten fortunes still more, would be eX- cellent material to experiment on. h. deed, he might begin with Queen Vic toria herself, who is reputed to possess larger fortune than any other woman in the world, all of which has been wrung from the toilers of Great Britain and other peoples. As for Americans they will meet any difficulty or danger in this regard, in an adequate way, when action is necessary.

The Supreme Court Decision Will Greatly
 Benefit New ork States Treasury.
 ALBANY, Dec. 1o.-The decision of the Supreme Court in New York, to the eff feet that legacies in trust for churches or public institutions are taxable, if the will was probated prior to the amendments passed by the Legislature last winter ex- cepting such bequests, opens large field for additional revenue to the State through the collateral inheritance tax.
 The State Comptroller believes that many bequests have escaped the tax be cause the surrogates believed that the amendments were retroactive. He will immediately look them up.
 It is likely that Grace Church and the Metropolitan Museum of Art will take the case up to the Court of Appeals,

The meat, the entrails, everything is made use of but tha squcal. They can't catch that, so it is wasted. Funny thing what they do with the blood. It is all caught in a great tank, and after it clots is carted off to a stamping house, where power full machines are busy stamping it into buttons. Yes, buttons of blood are nc novelty. It is all done at one stamp of the big dies, and it is found that they wear remarkably well. They are cas- fly distinguished by their peculiar, dark red color.

Inc Buralo Not Net Extinct.

Game Warden Land, of Colorado, says that reports received from Lost Park since the reports of the slaughter of buffalOcs, are to the effect that thirty five or forty buffaloes have been seen, and there may be others that have not yet been found, as they are reported quite shy. From this report it will be seen that the buffalo is not yet extinct in Colorado, and with good care and protection in the future thls herd will increase in numbers and thus this species that formerly roamed the plains in countless tens of thou sands will be saved for all time Whether a large number of this herd was killed or not will probably not be definitely known; but State Warden Land was quite elated that so many have been found since the reports came in that a number had been killed, as there were fears for time that this herd had nearly or almost been annihi- lated. It is said that at the next ses- sion of the state legislature an attempt will be made to have law passed that will give this herd of buffaloes more careful guard and protection.

THE bifurcated neither garment which is ignorantly supposed to be specially distinctive of the masculine toilet, belongs by righ to the other sex. Archaeological res earch has proved that the women of Judah were the first wearers of the neither garment in a bi- furcated form, and that man, the tyrant, on pcrcciving the convenience and com fort of this article of dress evolved by the superior intelligence of woman, did, with his usual arrogance and selfish ness, insist upon appropriating the same to his own use, and doomed his womcnllind to incumbcr their limbs with clinging, flowing robes (which render it impossible for us to cope with man in the useful and common avoca- tions." It is satisfactory to have mans mcanness and cunning thus shown up, and in the good time coming the ladies will doubtless insist upon resuming the "bifurcatcd neither garment"

The vigor with which the garbage contractor
insisted that metal receptscles were necessary
for the proper collection of garbage may have
been prompted entirely by humane ideas. by
q high regard FOR the sanitary welfare Of the
city. Very frequently reformer's ardor in
great and just cause makes him indiscreet.
This may account for the fact that the con-
tractor remained oblivious to the consideration
that his proprietorship of metal can of the
style that he was demanding was calculated to
excite comment However, the public demands
the best and most effective service, without re-
gard TO the motives Of individuals who join in
that demand The city insists that the garbage
shall be removed, undeterred by the sugges-
lions that soreheads and place-hunters are the
loudest shouters for reform in this respect
And the city demands in the public interest
that proper receptacles for the garbage be pro-
vided, undeterred by the suggestion that the
contractor has q pecuniary interest in an i'm
proved receptacle.
