A Terrible Mistake.

A celebrated German physician was
once called upon to treat an aristocratic
lady, the sole cause of whose complaint
was high living and slack of exercise
Put it would never do to tell her SO, so
his medical advice ran thus:
''Arise at 8 o'clock, take walk in the
park for one hour, then drink cup of
tea, then walk another hour and take a
cup Of chocolate. Take breakfast at 81
Her condition improved visibly, unit
one morning the carriage Of the baroness
was seen to approach the physicians
residence at lightning speed.
The patient dashed up to the doctors
Office, and on his appearing on the scene
she gasped out, "Oh, doctor, l took the
chocolate frstl'
''Then drive home as fast you can,"
calculated the astute disciple of Escu-
lap, rapidly writing prescription, "and

Pillshury-More nominal dollars, but
perhaps they could not buy 90 much.
In reply to further questions from
Lewis, Pillsbury admitted that short
selling alone would not account for the
decline in wheat, which was too great
to be chargeable to one cause alone.
In his address to the committee Pills
bury advocated the passage OF the anti
options bill. Heeaid there should have
been high prices for wheat this year,
but partly on account OF short selling
millers and others were living from
hand to mouth. The world was draw
ing on the surplus supply of wheat each
year, for the consumption was steadily
increasing.
Clifford Of Kankakee, Illinois, said in
q surplus-producing country no good
for ''shorts" always wanted lower prices.
He thought laws should be SO framed as
to give right to buy property for future
delivery, and when delivery is contracted
for, to sell those contracts either before
or after delivery.

ton to the bill.

HARRISON RELENTs.
He Is Sorry He Signed the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Claims.

He Is Sorry He Signed the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Claims.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. = The presi-
dent today sent to congress a message
in connection with Choctaw and Chick
asaw claims, for the payment of which
congress appropriated $2,991 ,450 in the
Indian appropriation bill passed by the
last congress. He says if the sections
in question had been submitted to him as
a separate measure, he would not have
approved it; but as congress was in its
last hours disapproval to the general
Indian appropriation bill, of which it
was part, would have resulted in con-
sequences SO disastrous shat he
felt it his duty to approve the bill.
But as the acceptance and approval
OF the conveniences provided for de-
volved upon him, he felt bound to look
into the whole matter. 1t has come to
his knowledge that the Choctaw legisla-
ture agreed to pay three of the tribe 25
per cent of any appropriation received
from congress and the Chickasaws agreed
to pay 10 per cent of their interest to
agents and attorneys. The president
also learned that the action of the
Choctaw council was corruptly infu-
enced in the matter. The president
does not think congress should so legis-
late as to give effect to such contract,
and is of the opinion that if the appro-
priation is to stand, provision should be
made for protecting these tribes against
extortion.
The protective intervention, OF con-
gress is asked in the matter OF the re-
fusal OF the Chickasaws to admit squaw
men to citizenship.
The question of the title OF the Chock-
taws and Chickasaws is taken up. 1.-The
words of the treaty." says the president,
s'point clearly to the conclusion that the
government commission and the Indians
must have understood that this
government was acquiring some
to social intercourse with friendly
Indians, which it already possessed,
and something more than mere release
of right. Certainly if for an adequate
consideration, by treaty, the United
States placed upon these lands other
Indian tribes, it was competent to give

Element for all these lands,

The president does not approve of deal
ing with the question by piecemeal. 1t
would have been better, he sayH, if the
remnant of the title remains in the
Choctaws and Chickasaws, to have set
tied the matter at once. The calcula-
tions made in arriving at the basis of
the appropriation, no account being
taken Of $800,000 paid by the treaty
stipulation for the leased district, seems
to the president not just to the United
States. He commends the matter to the
attention of congress.

IN THE SENATE.
Mexican Battle Flags Ordered Returned.
Other Bills Passed.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-In the senate
today, Immediately after the reading of
the journal, Sherman, from the commit
tee on foreign relations, reported back
favorably the joint resolution requesting
the president to return to Mexico twen-
ty-one battle flags now in the museum
of the United States military academy,
which were captured by the army of the
United States during the late war with
Mexico. Passed.
Sherman also reported back adversely
the resolution requesting the committee
ON foreign relations to inquire as to the
practicability of the acquisition of GER
tain portions of Mexico, and it was in
definitely postponed.
Morrill,, from the finance committee,
reported bill directing the secretary of
the treasury to admit, free Of duty, the
wreckage from the ships Trenton and
Vandalia, presented by the United
States government to the king of Samoa,
and to refund $712S, being the amount
OF duties paid thereon to the collector at
San Francisco. Passed.
Bills on the calendar were then taken
mp and acted on. The one appropriat-
ing 500, 900 for a public building at
Boise City was recommitted.
The bill for q public building at
Helena, Mont, was also recommitted.
The bill for the payment to William
X. Wheaton, ex-register, and Charles
Chamberlain, ex-receiver of the land
Office at San Francisco, of $1,000, por-
fi0n of the amount deposited by them
In the treasury as fees for testimony
taken by clerks, paid by themselves,
was passed.
The Idaho contested election case was
then taken up, and Gray addressed the
senate in support of the views of the
minority of the committee on elections,
that Claggett, not Dubois, was entitled
to the seat.
Gray's argument was replied to and
the title of Dubois to the seat defended
by Chandler and Palmer. Palmer said,
in conclusion, he trusted the time would
come when such questions could not
arise, and when the people would speak
directly on the choice of their senators.
Without disposing of the resolution
the senate adjourned.

FREE BINDING TwINE.
why Should the Farmers Pay Tribut
to the Cordage Trust?

why Should the Farmers PAY Tribute
to the Cordage Trust?
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Bryan of Ne
braska has prepared report to accom-
pany the free binding-twine bill, which
will be reported to the house some day
this week. The report says in part {:
The tariff on binding twine cannot be
justified, except upon the principle that
the taxing power should be used to pre-
vent importations entirely; and that
principle, besides being supported by
constitutional authority, would de-
stroy all income from imports
and compel us to look to some
other source for necessary reve-
nues. Twenty-nine of the cordage
and binding twine factories out of thirty
five, in the country, are owned by the
National Cordage company OF New
York, and produce 80 per cent. of the
total output. In 1890 there were con-
sumed in the United States $4,000 tons
of twine, all of which, but 1000 tons,
were made from foreign grown fibers.
III 7-10ths OF cent per pound tax is
added to the price, as is probable, this
tax cost the farmers of the country in
the year 1890 alone, 100000, and this
does not include the large additional
sum charged for profits on the increased
price by the various middlemen. Not
one dollar of this large tax reached the
treasury, and there can be no excuse for
allowing this trust to continue the exac-
ton Of this tribute.

FAGAN'S FOLLY.
BROTHER JIM FROM FRISCO NOT
FOXY ENOUGH.
Terry's Wife Plays Game-The Deputy
Sheriff Gets Drunk and the Prisoner
Escapes-A Story of Capture and
Flight.

As was stated in yesterdays HERALD,
James Pagan came down from San Fran
cisco on Tuesday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of taking back with him his brother
Terry, who had jumped his bail in the
bay city. The slippery Terry, who is a
bad man, had committed felonious
sssault with knife on a companion,
and as..cr being arrested, prevailed on
his brother James to 60 on his bond.
He then ran away, and came to Los An
geles to join woman who claims to be
his wife. He was arrested by Detectives
Bowler and Benson on description last
Sunday night, and locked up in the city
Jail.
Chief Crowley was notified of the
capture. and Brother James, who thirst
ed for revenge, was appointed special
deputy sheriff, supplied himself with a
big gun, as well as a pair OF nippers and
a bench h-warrant, and started for Los
Angeles.
As soon as the train left Oakland,
Chief Glass's Office began to be inun-
dated with long and numerous series
of kilograms, each of which read as fol-
lows:
CHIEF GLASS: Hold Pagan! Am COM
ing. FAGAN.
Yesterday afternoon, as has been
stated, Brother James got here. In the
meantime writ OF habeas corpus had
been issued on application of the alleged
Mrs. Pagan for Terry's body. Terry was
taken into superior court and was de-
clared out of Chief Glass's custody. He
was about to leave the hall of justice
when the doors swung back and revealed
Brother James, gun, nippers, bench
warrant and all. The writ did not ap-
ply to James's warrant, and Terry had
to submit to being arrested by his own
brother.
Had James followed his original in
tention Of leaving for San Francisco at
10: 40 Tuesday night all would have
been we'll. But he happens to be a sus-
ceptible individual, and the fair but
treacherous helpmeet of his brother at
once began to exercise her every vile to
drau his attention away from his pris-
oner. She succeeded admirably, and
the trio went out Tuesday night on
something of debauch. They were
seen on Alameda street yesterday morn
ing little the worse for wear, the San
Francisco deputy sheriff being especi-
ally hilarious. Before noon Mrs. Terry
Pagan had succeeded in borrowing
$16 from Sheriff Pagan.
At 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
Officer Steele telephoned to headquarters
that mysterious individual was sky
larking around the corner of Third and
Main streets. The stranger appeared to
be drunk, and, displaying pair of new
handouts, had informed the general
public that 'if he caught the - -
again, he'd put the nippers on him."
Captain Roberts instructed Officer
Steele to bring the man to the police
station if the fellow was impersonating
an officer. The order was complied with,
and in few minutes Officer Steele ap-
peared in the chiefs Office with Brother
James, who, with most remarkable at
tempt at smile, exclaimed: "By --,
chief, he got away from me-"
The laugh is, of course, on the San
Francisco deputy. The chances are that
Terry left the city with James's $l6, but
the local police are confident that he
will be recaptured.

ON the right to debate the measure, and
the discussion began without any limita-

Stockdale of Mississippi criti cized the

UTAH'S STATEHOOD.
The Liberal Party Opposes the Admis-
sion of the Territory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. H. The house
committee ON territories gave hearing
this morning to the opponents of the
proposed legislation to give local gov
eminent to the territory of Utah, as
proposed in the bill introduced by
Caine, delegate from that territory, The
committee was addressed by O. W. Pow
ers, representing liberal party of Utah.
That party, Powers said, was composed
of Democrats and Republicans who, for
the time being, had cast aside their ma
tional political preferences and had
joined hands for the purpose OF building
up an American state in the mountains.
1t was because the Mormon people were
not honest and sincere that the Liberal
party opposed the measure, the time
not having come, in its opinion, for it.
Much Of Powers's argument was in re-
futation Of several statements made on
the other side Of the question by III. w.
Smith before the committee last week.
He read to the committee q letter from
M. A. Breeden, and attorney Of Ogden

WASHINGTON, Feb. H. The silver
question was broached again this morn
ing and this time it was in hearing be-
fore house committee on agriculture on
the anti-options bill, which has been
under discussion by the committee for
the past two weeks. Charles A. Pills
bury, the Minneapolis miller, was on
the stand. He stated in the course
of his remarks that the worlds
surplus supply of wheat was steadily
dwindling and being drawn on each
year to meet the increasing consumption
Of wheat. He said if one man owned
the wheat crop raised in the United
States this year. it would have been
possible to get l.50 bushel for it from
Europe just as easy as 80 cents, because
Europe had to have it. Russia had none
to export, and India had shipped it's
surplus the previous year.
Mr.. LeWis--Then the statistical posi-
tion is that wheat has been growing
better for five years past, and the price,
except for the squirt this year, has been
growing weaker
