CAPTAIN ADAMS ILL.

The Wounds Which the Commando
 of the Grand Army of the Kepub bile
 Received During the War Trouble
 Him and an Operation Was Per
 formed.
 LYNN, Mass Oct. 17.-Regarding the reported illness in Chicago of Commander n-Chief Adams of the G. A. R., Adjutant General Meech of this city received tele- gram late Monday evening stating that Captain Adams was very i'll, but was thought to be better. For the past two or three months Captain Adams has complained of @ sore spot on his hip, 1t being more painful at night when he rested on his side. He has been of the impression that perhaps the bullet was working Its way out. The operation stated to take place to day is probably fol the purpose of extracting the bullet. Three years ago he was sick for three months on account of the wound, two months being spent in bed. He was shot twice in nearly the game place, one bullet passing out. Int other one has been in his body all these years.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-An operation wa, o'clock to-day by Dr. ". Lewis Tallmar and Dr. c. Ferger, which the physician pronounced most successful. No at tempt was made to extract the bullet, bu several fragments of bone were removed Captain Adams was still unconscious a 2:80 o'clock.

MOST VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

 The Rapid Decrease of Consumption is Credited by Medical Experts to
 the Free Broadcast Distribution of the Test Outfits Of the Amick Treat ment.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The county medical society's petition to the board of health to isolate consumptiyes- has in- creased the fears occasioned by startling headlines in local paper declaring the disease infectious. The state legislature of Michigan recently endorsed this view, as did the medical congress in Washington, !, and deaths from consumption having de- creased everywhere recently Dr. Fleck, with few others, sscribes this isolation. The majority of medical experts, however, credit it to the free broadcast distribution through physicians of test outfits of the Amick treatment, by which authentic cures are reported daily in the medical and secu- lar press
 MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17.-Reosnt local editorials comdemning the medical code, while commenting Amick, the Cincinnati scientist, for withholding his consump- tion cure formula, are excitIng much dis cussion in medical circles. The Times said: "His discovery greatly assists the fight against this enemy of human life and thirty or more local physicians say the medicine aceomplishes more than his claim"
 The Journal said: "It is one of the most valuable and wonderful discoveries ever hoped for in medical science and the formula is not given to everyTom, Dick or Harry to monkey with and is preserved from the tampering of fool empiricists."

1t Went Through the House With
 out a Division.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-There was 8 good attendance of members this morning, but the house was slow in getting to work. It finally proceeded to consider bill dis pensing with proof of loyalty as prere- quisite to being restored or admitted to the pension rolls by persons who otherwise would be entitled to pension.
 The bill was passed after having been amended 60 as not to apply to pension claimants, but only to bounty land claim snts.
 The house then resumed the considera- tion of the bill for the better control of national banks.
 MT. Lockwood, dem., of New York, op- posed the measure, contending that 1t could do no good and might do much evil. After further discussion the bill was passed without division. It provides that any loan to its president, it's vice president, its cashier, directors, or any of its clerks, tellers, bookkeepers, sgents, servants or other persons in It's employ until the pro, poeition to make such a loan, stating the amount, terms and security offered there for shall have been submitted In writing by the person desiring the same to a meet ing of the directors of such association and accepted and approved by majority of those present constituting quorum, but only to the amount now allowed by law. The house then, in committee of the whole, resumed consideration of the bill relative to public printing and binding. Without disposing of the bill the commit. tee rose and the house adjourned

That is the Question on Which the
 Coming Election In Great Britain

 LONDON, Oct. l7.-A conservative meet ing was held to day at Preston, in Lsn- oashire, at which Lord Salisbury delivered an address. He said that the aim of the unionists was to get the voice of Great Britain on the question of Irish home rule. The government did not dare to face th vote of the country.
 If the electors were permitted to return representatives in parliament on the Irish home rule question alone the result would be most decided proneunoensnt against 1t. The government could not evade a de cision on the question. Englishmen were thoroughly aroused and would not b. duped by the tactics of MT. Gladstone who was seeking to obscure the grea issues of the home rule question by asso ciating the fate of the government witt minor measures
 The coming general election must b fought on single question-Irish hom rule.

SENATOR'S TO CAUCUS.

Senator Vest Ctrculates a Petition,
 Hut the Democratic RepeaIers Re- fused to Sight.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Senator Sher- mans speech caused come of the demo- crats in the senate to ask whether it was not time to agree upon united action. Be- fore the decision had been reached to take recess MT. Vest circulated a petition sd- dressed to the chairman of the caucus ask ing him to issue 8 call for the caucus. The call which MT. Vest had drawn up was care fully worded and every man who signed it thereby pledged himself to abide by the decision of the caucus. When this paper was presented to democratic repeslers they declined, after reading the caption, to sign the request.
 It requires twenty-thres democrats to make this call effective and, according to | the count of the silver democrats, they have just that number. This estimate in. l cludes Mir. Kyle and MT. Martin, who are, I the southern men claim, more democrats that populists. MT. Vest hopes to get some of the repeal democrats to sign his paper It is said that when MT. Voorhees, moved | to take recess he knew of the contem.
 pleted caucus and thought 1t best not to
 push matters pending the attempt of his colleagues to get together.
 One of MT. Voorhees, warmest support
 CTS said there could be no doubt that l:
 the majority ordered the caucus all the democrats would participate in 1t. Not
 having signed the caucus pledge they wouls
 be free to act for themselves and while ! acme would not % to the extent of bind ing themselves beforehand to this senate
 he expected much good to grow out of tn
 conference. A caucus could, he thought
 mean but one thing and that was compro
 mise.
 It is not probable that the caucus will b
 held earlier than to morrow evening ant
 possible not then. Repeal senators vii ! not admit the caucus will act contrary tt the present attitude of the administration
