IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
An All Night Session of the Lower
........ Branch

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-The desk oc u
pied by Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky,
when he resigned his - in the senate in
order to take one at the tbinet table was
decorated yesterday with the model of
log cabin standing in a garden of roses.
1t was i'll honor Of Mr., Carlisle's successor,
Mr. Lindsay, who appeared and took the
oath of office, aud subsequently cast his
first vote rs "A senator on a proposition re-
specting site for new government
printing Office in Washington. This sub
ject occupied over two hours of the ses-
sion, and the result was that tho various
propositions in regard to it were voted
down and 10 decision at all was made
Another site questioA-that as to the
New YORK custom hoasc-was also dis
cussed at much length, and the result WAS
that an appropriation of $500, 600 in addi-
tion to a former one of 81, 100000 to pay
for the site was made. Another subject
which gave rise to a rather heated dis
cussion was one In reference to the ex-
penses Of soldiers homes, and that dis
cussion drifted naturally to the question
of pensions.
In the house the hours were mostly en-
ployed in fiiibustering against the car
coupler bill. Some time was devoted to
the consideration of the postoffice appro-
n:iht1en bill, the debate on which was con
fined to "the special service" provision
But the car coupler measure was the one
which met with determined opposition.
Richardson (Tenn.) led the opposing forces,
and by parliamentary maueuyers pre-
vented any action being taken upon 1t. A
call of the roll on one of the motions re
Nealed the fact that there was no quorum
present, and the sergeant-at-arms was or
dered out to arrest absentees. Meantime
motions to adjourn were voted down, and
the house remained in session all night.

PANAMA JoBBERY.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb 22-Judge
Patterson, congressman from Tennessee,
one of the Panama committee, who came
here to examine Colonel Thompson, said
before returning to Washington yesterday:
Il believe from the evidence SO far in
hand that whatever may have been done
by the bankers and others in connection
with the American committee, Colonel
Thompson was honest in all the transac-
tions he figured in, and if there was any.
thing crooked he was not in it. His make
up is not that of iobber"
Congressman Storer, of Ohio, said: "The
evidence showed that the bankers We're
engaged in an effort to form syndicate
among themselves to buy up the assets o:
the Panama Railroad company and then
sell it to the canal company, so as to have
things both coming and going. These
bankers received vast sums annually from
the Panama Canal company for doing
practically nothing. Colonel Thompson
does not pretend to know what they did to
receive the great sum of $50, 600 each per
year, making a total of 81 100000 during
the eight years. 1t was nothing less than
robberyr

Arsenioa1 Poisoning.

The danger through arsenical poisoning
in our homes is not confined to the wall
papers, having been found often present in
cretonnes and imitation Indian muslin in
poisonous quantities. A bad specimen of
cretonne has yielded on analysis 1915 grains
of white arsenic, 214 grains having been
known to be fatal dose. Some months
back London doctor experimental upon
forty-four samples of cretonne supplied by
local tradesman, not one of which was
absolutely free from the poison; eleven of
them were grouped by the analyst as every
bad" )" and nine as distinctly dangerous"
1t is quite common occurrence to have
pieces of these substances in room con-
tanning sufficient arsenic to give 100 people
fatal dose A very popular impression
has been that greens and blues are the
dangerous colors, but the analyst declares
that reds, browns and blacks are more dan
gerous still.-Chambers' journal.
