IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The Possible Repeal Of the Sherman
Silver Act by the Senate.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 4.-The question of
the repeal Of the Sherman act, or at least
of the suspension of the silver bullion pur-
chase provision of 1t, was unexpectedly
precipitated on the senate yesterday by
Mr. Teller (Col) He made the presenta-
ton of some petitions on the subject the
fccasion for launching into discussion OF
the whole question, and expressed his con
fident assurance that the repeal of the
Sherman act was not amoug the possible
tiles of the present session He com
mented with some bitterness upon news
paper statements as to the determination
of President-elect Cleveland to have ID.
Sherman act repealed. Mr. Sherna iii g.
stated that he had not moved to take r.
the bill because he was not satisfied tltsA
there was majority in its favor FINALLY
notice was given by Mr.. Hill fN. " that
he would test that question next Monday
by II motion to take up the hill and pass ir.
But, after ALL the feature of the proceed
ings was Mr. Sherman's implied threat
that cloture would be applied in the SEN
ate If necessary to give effect TO the will
of the majority.
The friends of the anti-options bill oh.
tanned a victory in the house yesterday.

them, and ruled that the house could not

Found in a Can Of Fruit.

A correspondent has submitted to us for
examination a living creature which he
states was obtained from the inside Of q
timed pineapple. The fruit had been boiled
at Singapore previously to Timing 1t. and
was then imported to this country. On
the tin being opened our correspondent was
somewhat surprised TO find a living insect
Of strange and unknown appearance tnha.
biting the inside of the pineapple. On ex-
amining the insect we found it to be the
larva OF some beetle, the species of which
could not be accurately ascertaincd, conse.
quently it was impossible to say with cer-
taiuty whether its natural food was yegs-
table or animal matter.
1t is quite possible, however, that tho
statement of our correspondent regarding
the cooking Of the pineapple may be cor.
rect, for tho fruit might have been imper,
fectiy or iueompletely cooked. In that
case the temperature OF the interior might
never have reached so high degree as to
cause coagulation Of the living tissues or
of the structure of the egg or larva. The
power Of many insects and mites to resist
both high temperatures and the action Of
many poisons is well known and exceed
ingly remarka5le.-I.on Lancet.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Passage of the Anti-options Bill Has
Had No Effect as Yet.

New York, Feb Ar. G. Dunn & Co.'S,
Weekly Review of Trade says Actual
business is surprisingly large for the sea
son, and fears about the future are also
large Congressional uncertainties cause
the fear, b6. The prosperity and needs of
the people make business, and never be
fore has the distribution of products to
consumerssbecn larger than it has been
thus far this year. Hence industries are
reasonably prosperous. The volume of
tiade, measured by clc9lings in January,
was nearly II per cent. larger than in any
Previous year, and the railway movements
shows great increase in the tonnage
transported. Yet it is probably safe to say
that rarely, il ever, except in a time OF
panic has business been mere cautiously
and conservatiyelg regulated. Monetary
nucertaihtifs are excused by the continued
oGt5" Of gold, but the passage Of the anti
options bill dF the senate has had no effect

A WISE OLD TOAD.
An Interesting Account of Famou
Tond which Wes q Great Pct.

An Interesting Account of a Famous
Toad which Was u Great Pet.
Among all the stories which are told Of
toads none is more remarkable perhaps
than that OF a toad which lived for more
than thirty-six years in hole beneath the
doorstep Of a French farmhouse.
How old it was when first noticed no one
could say but 1t had probably lived long
time before familiarity with the sight OF
man emboldened it to rest TRANQUILITY on
the doorstep, over which persons were con-
stantly passing.
The step became the batraehian's hunt
ing grouud,n where, with little trouble, 10
might capture the ants which persisted in
crossing and recrossing the step. The toad
"hunting for its supper came to be re.
Rarded as one of the sights of the neigh
borhood, and certainly the skillful manner
in which il used its wonderfully formed
tongue entitled 1t TO be ranked as an expert.
For one thing 1t showed wonderful skill
In judging distances; the tongue was never
darted out until the insect came within
certain range. The accuracy of the crea-
lures aim was another matter for surprise.
The insects were generally in motion when
the tongue was darted out against them,
but the arrow never failed to hit.
Tie rapidity with which the tongue was
shot forth excited mOch wonder. inc
operation is complex one, The tongue Is
doubled or folded up when in the mouth;
therefore twofold action Is required-an
uncoiling of the weapon and then the DART
ing of it forth.
The withdrawing of the tongue, with the
captured insect on the tip, was not less re-
markable. Notwithstanding the rapid mo-
tion, the tineness of the tongue tip and the
struggles of the prey, the victim was never
dropped.
The toad was so tame that it might just
| ly be called "domesticated. 1t would re-.
main quietly in one hand and take its food
from the other, provided 2 leaf Were placed
on the hand which held it. Without this
precaution the warmth of the human skin
was evidently annoying.
| Few things seemed to please II more than
to be placed on table in the evening when
the lamp was lighted. 1t would look
around with the greatest confidence in its
cleaning eyes, and when insects were
| placed on the table it snapped them up
with even greater rapidity than in its day
huntings.
In this way the toad lived for thirty six
years the pet of the neighborhood. 1t
might have lived many years more had
not tame but spiteful raven pecked out
| one of It's eyes.
The bird brought upon himself universal
| hatred for this assault, but sympathy was
no profit to the poor toad. He could no
longer measure distances accurately or
aim with certainty, and he died in about Q
year after his injury, apparently from,
starvation. Youths Companion.

ROME'S BANK SCANDALS
The Government May Investigate
Grave Charges.
PREMIERs ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
Giolitti, hi Rudini and Crispi Directly
Charged with Accepting Brides, and All
Indignantly Deny the Acoustic ns-A
Murder Charged Against High ohiciais.

ROME. Feb 4-rhe pressure among the
deputies for n parliamentary inquiry into
the bank scandals was increased yesterday
by the confirmation Of the report that Sig
nor Taalogo, the Imprisoned governor of
the Bank OF Rome, had made statement
duplicating Premier Giolotti and ex-Pre-
micrs di Rntlini ana Cri5pi.
Immediately after the opening of the
chamber the president had read letter
from exprcsidcnt CriSpi, who is i'll. The
letter stated that Crispi had never ham
died lire from the Bank of Rome; that
nobody in Office in the days of his premier-
ship, as far as he knew, had any official or
personal relations with the bank, and TINT
he had never seen or heard anything to in
dictate that his predecessor or successors
had received any money from the bank
for political or private purposes.
siRnor Colajanni, in speaking of the ne
ecssity of appointing parliamentary COM
mission 10 inquire into the scandal said:
"'rhe National bank has paid annually
large sum of money to the secret service
fund All have suspected this and many
of us know it. F"
"A more utterly false statement could
not be made i'll hi. house." said Premier
Golitti who was on his feet to reply be-
fore Cola ianni could seat himself.
The premier said it was for the chamber
to decide whether or not Deputy herbi,
who is charged witt having received large
subsidies from the Bank of Rome, should
be delivered up to the criminal law at
once b'lt he and his colleagues in the min
istry would resist to the last every attempt
to authorize an Investigation by'a COM
mission of deputies, The courts Of Justice
had ample powers to deal with the mntters
4. of
an extraordinary tribunal. The appoint
ment of u parliamentary commission at
the present iuncture would produce the
general imprc sion that the chamber
wished to arrest the progress of justice,
| and therefore would diScredit at once the
| deputies and government in the eyes of
| tie people.
Ex-premier Di Rudini repeated his pre-
| yious statements that the charges against
| him were without foundation.
After short but stormy debate the
chamber decided to authorize the prose-
cuton of Deputy Ierbi.
| A Palermo daily says that the murder of
Signor Notarbartolo on a railway train
near Aetavilla on Thursday was part of a
plot to suppress evidence concerning the
| bank scandals Nutarbartolo was long
director of the Bank of Sicily and as such
got possession OF many documents in,
eliminating persons Of high influence.
These documents, says the dnily, were in
his satehel when he was killed, but ale
now missing.
The government made an inquiry into
the management of the Bank Of Sicily sev
ernl years ago, and voluninous report
said to incriminate all the directors except
Notarhartolo was lied ill the government
department, Of which Siguor Monzillo
now under arrest, had charge. This report
was stolen and the thief was never caught
