The appropriations for this exposition
were only temporary. while the ap-
preparations for the carrying on OF the
government were fixed, and the ap-
preparations committee was naturally
charged with making those appropri-
atoms. No one could say that an ad-
ditional appropriation for the fair was
necessary. The Worlds Fair commit
tee was properly constituted, charged
with consideration OF the question
and they should make the investigation.
Mr.. Reilly proposed an amendment
substituting the Worlds Fair committee
for the committee on appropriations in
the resolution OF the latter. Lost yeas
103, nays 147. Mr.. Butler, Iowa. Of
fered an amendment providing for a
secret committee OF seven members,
and was also lost; yeas 104. nays 124.
Mr.. Hopkins, Illinois, moved that nine
members be appointed as a special
committee. Lost. The resolution pro-
viding for an investigation by the APP
preparations committee was then
adopted, and the house adjourned un-
til tomorrow.

The Ear Of DlOnYsins.

In the early part OF the fourth century
before Christ it was governed by Do
nysius the Elder. He is commonly
called the Tyrant OF Syracuse-that is
TO say ruler who had usurped power.
not legitimate ruler who governed
brutally, which is the sense in which
we nowadays use tho word 'tyrant"
Near the city there are several vast
caves, formed by the action OF water
on the limestone rocks. and one OF
these is known as the Ear OF Dionys-
Jus. This cavern is really q long tun-
mel. For distance of nearly 200
yards 1t is about seventy feet high,
and then the roof begins to descend.
At the further end OF the arch, and at
about sixty feet from the floor, is a
small hidden chamber followed in the
rock. Here SO the story goes DID,
nysius used to listen to the talk OF the
prisoners confined below. who whis-
pered among themselves OF their plots
and plans. 1t is said to be the fact
that slight whisper il uttered near
one OF the walls, can be heard in this
chamber at q distance of fully 200
feet. Saturday Evening Post.

but it soon became apparent that the
support to the bridge OF the nose was
so completely undermined, the lower
portion of the nasal bones being de-
stroyed, that the nose was quite sure
to fall in. unless the proper support
could be applied at the right spot
from the inside. The plan OF trans
fixing the nose with pins to hold it up
in place could be OF no avail in this
case so the following plan was
resorted to: A piece of brass spring
wire was bent to form a spring. One
arm was bent to lie along the floor of
the nose; the other was bent to fit UNI
der the bridge of the nose. These
arms were covered with snugly fitting
rubber tubing, so as to make them
soft and prevent erosion. The arms
were bent together before insertion,
but when allowed to open they ex-
erted an upward pressure, with the
floor of the nose for the fulcrum or
support One of these springs was in
serted into each nostril. This plan
was worked admirably. 1t kept
the bridge OF the nose ele-
waited as high as the amount OF tissue
left would permit until the broken
septum had become firm and tho
other parts healed so that the nose
was self-supporting, This patient

clan nose but the loss of large por-

floor of the warehouse, and, being
aroused by the smoke, he went down
stairs and through door in the parti-

hope of saving the books and to get the
fire alarm key and turn in the alarm
just as he reached the office door he
was overcome by the smoke and fell
helpless to the floor, where his body
was cooked by the flames which after

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. THE
Foster-Farmers' Alliance faction is
greatly excited over the receipt Of
the boxes of Winchesters and ammuni-
ton from New York, consigned to Col.
A. w Crandell, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Memory faction
of the Democratic State Committee,
and its organ, the New Delta, de-
clarcs it infamous that the opposing
faction should import guns to
murder voters at the polls. Col. Gran
dell says the guns were sent out openly
for distribution throughout the State
simply to insure a free election and a
fair count, which, from the actions of
Gov. Nichols, the McEneryites had
good reason to believe would be de,

duty and would perform it. Being
pressed he said that if the McEnery
faction suspected that it was going to
be defrauded at the polls it ought to be
able to prevent it, or words to that
effect. This suggestion Col. Crandell
and his committee proceeded to act on,
hence the resort to arms. All this took
place before the withdrawal by John
Morris of the lottery proposition, which
was to have been voted on an amend
ment to the constitution at the April
election. The first consignment of
Winchesters-Col. Crandell says that
more are on the way--was landed here

BLAND'SSILVER PLANS
SOME PROVISIONS OF HIS NEW
COINAGE BILL.
How It Is Sought to Brush Away the
Distinction between the White and yell
COmmittee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--The free coin
age bill which was discussed by the
silver men on the House Committee on
coinage at their meeting last night is
substantially the one which was in
troduced by Chairman Bland in
January. Tho free coinage it pro-
vides for is as different from
that OF the fathers as the ratio of gold
and silver in their time was different
from ours. There is to be no coinage
at all except in cases where people pre-
fer the heavy coins to the paper notes
and an the ;, notes are to be legal
silver coin. They arc coin notes in
stead of silver notes, and Mr.. Bland
seees in this way to brush away the
distinction between silver and gold.
The essential character of the bill is
shown in the provision that the
coin notes shall be issued at
the coming value of the bullion
presented to the Treasury instead
of its bullion value. Even Mr.. Bland
apparently does not believe the argu-
ment of the silver men that free coin
age will raise silver to parity with
gold. In any event he proposes that the
Government shall take all the risks
and the silver miner all the profits. Mr..
Bland does not propose to wait for any
international conference, but if France
opens her minis to free coinage he pro-
vides that the United States shall
change her rate.
This bill will probably be ordered re-
ported to the House at the meeting of
the Coinage Committee on Wednesday
next,

Mon to Prison-Must Pay Damages.
VALPARAISO, Feb. 6.--Judgc of Crimes
Foster yesterday passed sentence in
the long-pending and much discussed
Baltimore assault case of Oct. 10, 1891.
His sentence is subject to review by
the Court of Appeals The argument
covers $50 pages and goes all over
again the evidence against the accused
and compares it closely with the evil
dence presented by the prisoners. The
finding of the court is as follows:
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, sentenced
to $40 days imprisonment for wound
ing William Turnbull, the coal-heaver
of the Baltimore, who died of his in
Juries; 300 days for public disorder, go
days for carrying knife, and 20 days
for giving an assumed name. This
makes total of 800 days.
Jose Ahumada. sentenced to $50 days
imprisonment for injuring Turnbull.
FREDERICK Rodriguez sentenced to 140
days imprisonment for wounding
Boatswainmate Charles w. Riggin, an
other of the murdered American sea-
men, for public disorder and for carry
lug a knife. 1t is held by Judge Foster
that the evidence does not show that
Rodriguez killed Riggin. On the con-
trary, it is claimed that Higgins death
was caused by shot which was fired
by some unknown person.
Gomez and Rodriguez, under tho
Chilean penal code, must pay the fam
lilies of Turnbull and Riggin damages
These damages are recoverable by civil
snit.
Congress will meet again in April.
