Yesterdays Proceedings in the Senate

L eSLSFUay : proceedings IN the senate
and House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lin the Senate
Stewart submitted resolution for a com
mittee of five to report whether any SEN
ator is interested as stockholder or
otherwise in any national bank. Hill
objected to it on the ground that it was
reflection on Senators, and it went over
till tomorrow.
The repeal bill was taken up, and Pugh
OF Alabama spoke in opposition to it.
Pugh said II the Sherman law was re-
pedIed to restore confidence among the
money lenders the lion Of discomfort
among the toiIing millions would be
awakened, and his roar would shake the
continent. 1t was the unalterable pur-
pose OF the opponents Of repeal to stand
upon their convictions of public duty and
their fidelity to the pledges to the people
they represented. He hOnored them
with his confidence on this vital ques-
ton, and would remain with them until
their physical strength was exhausted.
Teller followed Pugh, resuming his
speech begun Saturday against repeal.
lie continued the argument to show that
the panic was not due to the Sherman
law. He said he had been told when he
asked certain gentlemen when the panic
would be over that the banks called it on
and could call it OFF. The panic was
worse from the time Congress was called
together.
Dolph presented printed petition of
the Conference Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church of Oregon for the repeal of the
Geary Act. The petition alleged a state
Of affairs as to that law which Dolph said
showed that much of the opposition to
the law was Of ignorance as to its provi-
sions and effects. Referring to the bill
recently introduced in the House extend
ing the time for registering one year, he
said he would have no objection to its
enactment into a law if such extension
were requested by the Chinese Govern
ment, or If there were any assurance that
the Six Companies would permit Chinese
laborers to register.
After brief executive session the Sem
ate adjourned.

It is Said That He is suffering From a
Stroke of Paralysis.
PARIS, Sept. lit is reported from
Kissingen that Bismarck is seriously ill;
that he has lost the use of both hands.
1t is said Bismarck has been stricken
with paralysis. He is being fed by at
tendants and the doctors are holding a
consultation Of the gravest nature.
Though the real state OF his health may
be somewhat exaggerated, there seems to
be no reason to doubt his illness is most
serious. Sciatica Is said to be the founda-
ton of the disease. Dispatches inquiring
about his health are being received at
hissingen from all parts Of Europe. 1t
is hardly believed he has paralysis, bit
there is little hope that he will live any
great length of time.
1t is reported the Emperor telegraphed
for accurate information. Specialists in
Berlin are being consulted as to the ad-
visibility of removing him to milder
climate. His present condition is thought
to be due to his persistence in receiving
deputations in the open air in defiance Of
the doctors orders.
KIssENGEN, Sept. I1.-It is officially
announced that Bismarck continues to
improve.

Special to the RECoRD-UNtoN.

RENO (Nev.l, Sept u.-To-nights Ca
2ette contains the following editorial:
There is no longer any doubt in the
mind Of the Gazette that a scheme is be-
ing conceived-in fact, has been already
conceived, and the politicians are in the
straw trying to give it birth-to annex
Utah to Nevada. Just what the scheme
is the Gazette is unable to say. The ex-
cuse given is a desire to reduce the taxes
in this State, but in all probability it is to
give Utah Statehood to please some am
bilious individual or individuals for po-
litical purposes. and make money for the
promoters. If the plan does not miscarry
we will wake up some morning and find
Utah part of Nevada, with the State
Capital at Ogden or Salt Lake.
The G033tte wishes to sound the note
Of warning in time. If the State Capital
is to be removed to Utah, the Gazette
would respectfully suggest to the people
Of western Nevada that they petition the
proper authorities to be annexed to Cali
tornia, and cut loose from a scheme that
promises the tail to Wag the dog. 1t would
be much more convenient for the ueople
OF western Nevada to have the Capital
located at Sacramento than it would at
Salt Lake or Ogden, for the most OF their
business when away from home is on the
west side of the Sierras, and they could
visit the Capital once i'll while, whereas
if located at the east at all it might as
well be in New York.
This, it occurs to us, IS an important
question, and one that should meet with
prompt and vigorous action. The best
plan of all, however, and one that the
Gazette iavors, is to make a State Of Ne
vada by improving her undeveloped ag-
ricultural resources. which will some day
be done, and not annex TO anybody or

OF late money had been flush about the

made SO significantly that United States
Deputy Marshal Elder was sent for, and
in less than twenty-four hours he had
the whole plot, as we'll as thirty-three
prisoners, in his possession. The plan
adopted was to take dollars in large guam
Titles, then the counterfeiters would scat

ing five-cent articles and getting back
ninety-fve cents in good money. Deputy
Marshal Elder refuses to talk further

aground twice, bowled along a mile and a
half behind the Colonia and a mile

not gain jot on the leeward run. In fact,
all the boats seemed TO keep relative po-

CHRISTMAS

We who live under the vine and
palm find ourselves in sympathy
with the first Christmas as can
none of those who celebrate the
day amid the boreal regions Of the
north. English literature inspired
by a bleak December has sur-
rounded the Auglo-Saxon idea of
Christmas with the atmosphere OF
the frozen pole The yule log and
Kriss Kringle of the Norsemen and
the holly and evergreen of the
Druids are its immemorial settings;
and yet the real Christmas had
nothing in common with these. 1t
was not among snow and hurri-
canes that the Son OF Man came.
Over Him spread a turquoise sky,
and through the half-opened stable
door came the scent of springing
grasses and the odor Of semi-tropic
bloom. They who bore Hin
gifts did not come in furs or bring
him meed of northern woodlands
They wore the FURNISHED livery o
the southern sun and in thei
hands were gifts of frankincense
In Palestine on that Decembe

OUT AT LAST.

The report of Mr.. Blount con-
tains what purports to be copy in
full of the new constitution which
Liliuokalani attempted to promul-
gate on the I4th of January last.
Where Mr.. Blount obtained the
document does not appear. 1t will
be recolleCted that its author made
affidavit to Mr.. Damon that all
copies of it, as well as the original
draft, had been destroyed,
This alleged copy contains all
of the peculiar features which have
been attributed to the document of
the ex-Queen. 1t provides for a
six years term of Office for the
Justices Of the Supreme Court.
1t confines the voting franchise
to subjects, thereby DISTINGUISHING
most of the foreigners.
1t lodges the appointment of the
twenty-four mobiles in the sover-
eign
1t gives the right to vote TO male
subjects free from any important
property qualification.
1t abolishes the prohibition of
members Of the Legislature from
holding Office.
In general this Constitution con
forms to that of 1904, restoring to
the sovereign all the arbitrary
power which had become intoler-
able, necessitating the Constitution
of 1887, but adding to that,
despotic control of the Supreme
Court, by making the Justices re-
movable every six years.
Provision is made for the descent
Of the crown TO Kaiulani, and fail
ing issue, TO the two so-called
princes.

Gresham or President Cleveland
