 In the House.

The day in the house was devoted entire iy to the consideration of a bill relating to the extension of the time for allowing street railroad company in this city to change its system of motive power. Ac- cOrding to an act passed several years ago the street railroads of the district were re- quired to change their motive systems from horsepower to either cable, storage battery or underground electric. All but the Metropolitan road complied with the provisions of the law. That road claimed the cable was too expensive and tried the storage battery system, but this proved failure.
 The debate rapidly drifted into a discus sion of the merits of the cable and the un- derground electric system, and it was bold ly charged that the General Electric and Westinghouse companies, which held stock in almost all the overhead trolley lines, had retained all the prominent electric en- gineers in the country and would not spare money to prevent a practical demOnstra- tion of the feasibility of the underground electric now in operation at Buda-Pesth and for short distance on the outskirts of this city. To prevent this Mir. Walker pro posed to restrict the motive system to be used by the Metropolitan road to under ground electric. No conclusion was reach. ed. Today the house will go on with the sundry civil appropriation bill.

Breckinridge-POlIard Case Exciting.

WAsHINGTON, March 13.--A pugilistic as sault by Congressman Breckinridge's law partner, Mir. John Shelby of Lexington, Ky, upon the junior counsel for Miss Pol lard, Mir. w. G. Johnson of Washington, closed the days proceedings of the breach of promise suit.
 MT Johnson referred in d general way to the course taken by the defendants attor- neys in regard to certain affidavits as chi canery. and Mir. Shelby endeavored to make a reply. but as the usual hour for ad- journment had passed Judge Bradley had deferred the question.
 As Mir. Johnson left the room MT. Shelby darted after him and accOsted him in the hallway. Mir. Johnson is broad shoul- dered, black mustached cool and hand some: Mir. Shelby is shcrt and excitable Said Mir. Shelby, facing his taller oppo- nent, You have insulted me, sir, and I must have satisfaction, sir.'
 Well, sir:' responded MT. Johnson in- terrogatively and calmly. as he afterward said, expecting that MT. Shelby would an nounce the sort of satisfaction he expected.
 ThereupOn Mir. Shelbys right fist shot outward and upward, grazing Mir. John sons left cheek and drawing a slight blush. As he threw up his arm in the defensive the dignified form of his professional part ner, MT. Calderon Carlisle, social leader and polished attorney, was interposed be- tween them.
 Miss Pollard Creates a Sensation. Quickly several other gentlemen became participants in the fray. Colonel Breckin- ridge, with his gleaming snow white l beard, and his son Desha Breckinridge | with coal black whiskers, piled themselves | upon MT. Carlisle. There was an excited moment of general melee engaged in by no | less than dozen gentlemen, most of them intended peacemakers, when Deputy Mar | shal John k. Leonard, q giant in stature, strode into the center of the conflict, thrust l ing the belligerent kentuckian back and putting a damper upon hostilities. Every body emerged from the heat of controversy uninjured, although MT. Johnson's cheek I was slightly reddened, and the immaculate silk hat of Judge Jere Wilson had been sadly ruffied
 1 This pugilistic encounter was not the 1 only sensational incident of the day, for | Miss Pollard was carried sobbing from the | courtroom and fell in a faint outside the door when the testimony concerning the birth of her child in 1888 was given. The two faithful friends of her own sex attend ed her. and she was driven in a cab to the I House of Refuge, where she makes heI | home.
 The gossip of the city is about equally | divided between the courthouse affray and the identity of the bevy of fashionaSly dressed young ladies who were summarily excluded from the courtroom by Judge Bradley. The days proceedings brought forth description of the barriers against taking testimony for the plaintiff which had been met with in Colonel Breckin. ridges state, and much of the time was consumed by arguments over the admissi-
 bility of depositions which were objected
 to on technical grounds.

MT. Blanchard of Louisiana Assumes Jus
 tice Whites Seat In the Senate - The
 Breckinridge-PoIIard Trial Is EnIivened
 by Personal Encounter.
 WASHINGTON, March 13.-The most in teresting feature of the days proceedings in the senate was the administration of the oath to MT. Blanchard, the recently ap pointed senator from Louisiana.
 When the seigniorage bill was laid be- fore the senate, MT. Villas took up his ar gument against it at the point where he left off on Friday. He was followed by MT. Allison, who spoke in the same strain, and by Mir Wolcott of Colorado, who op- posed the motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed it's third reading not so much, he declared because he was opposed to amendments to it as because he wanted it to serve as a less on to those who had wanted to use it merely as a cats paw to keep the tariff bill out of the senate.
 During the morning hour Mir. Peffer's resolution looking to an investigation of the charges published in the press that senators were dealing in stocks on infor mation gained in their official positions was laid on the table by yea and nay vote after Senator German and others had declared their opposition to noticing the charges alleged against senator's
 Peffer Hears Gossip.
 Mir. Peffer, in the course of his remarks, said that for some time past there had been gossip in the papers, gossip on the streets, gossip in the capitol relative to the dealing of senators in Wall street stocks, and he thought it necessary to take some cOgni- Zance of these rumors.
 While he didn't love the metropolitan newspapers, he realized that they were a powerful factor for good as well as for evil, and he had felt humiliated and pained by the charges made in them and hoped some one else would bring them to the at tention of the senate. But finally, when the charges became so specific in their character and so virulent in their nature, he felt impelled to introduce the resolu- tion which he had presented.
 Mir. German of Maryland opposed the resolution in vigorous speech, in which he said there appeared to be a strong and well organized effort to belittle and de grade the senate of the Cnited States, and he regretted that on some occasions it had had the effect of forcing the senate into nasty if not imprudent action.
 Let senators on both sides of the cham Der" said Mir. German, without respect to party, vindicate themselves by resent ing the attempt to bring in the resolution presented by the senator from Kansas. If the senator from Kansas thinks he needs vindication, let him ask for an investiga- tion of himself."

ROYAL BAKING POWDER.

for corporate acts than are stockholders
In corporations.
THE commission does not feel war;
ranted, with the study it has been able to
give the subject, 10 recommend positive
ly the establishment of license system
by which all the higher employees or
others OF railways engaged in interstate
commerce should be licensed under due
ana proper examination, but 1t would
recommend most urgently that this sub
Ject be carefully and fully considered by
the proper committee of Congress. New
DIRK railway employees and some railway
officials examined and many others who
MED their suggestions in writing are in
favor of some such system.
The commission would suggest the
consideration by the States of the adop-
ton OF some system of Cancellation and
arbitration like that, for instance, in
Massachusetts. The system might be re-
lniorced by additional provisions giving
The Board OF Arbitration more power to
investigate all strikes. whether requested
10 DO so cr not, and the question might be
considered as to giving labor organiza-
tons standing before the law as hereto
fore suggested for national trades unions.
Contracts requiring men not TO join labor
organizations or to leave them as condi-
tions OF employment should be made
illegal, as is already done in some of our
States.
The commission urges employers to
recognize labor organizations, and that
such organizations be dealt with through
representatives with special reference to
concliiatlOn and arbitration when diff
cultles are threatened or arise. 1t is
satisfied that employers should come in
closer touch with labor, and should recog-
nlze that While the interest of capital and
LABOR are not identical, they are recipro-
cative.
The commission is satisfied that if en-
ployers everywhere will endeavor to act
IN concert with labor; that if when wages
can be raised under economic conditions
they be raised voluntarily, and that when
there are reductions reasons be given for
the reduction, much friction can be
avoided. 1t is also satisfied that if en-
ployers will consider employees as thor
oughly essential to industrial success as
capital, and thus take labor into consulta-
ton at the proper time, much of the Sc
verify OF strikes can be tempered and
their number reduced"

BLINDNESS FROM SMOKING.
Common in English NYorkingmen From
the OYer-Use of strong Tobacco.

LlsllSA w OthlnGnlGn trOm
the OYer-Use of strong Tobacco.
"The symptoms of over-indulgence in
smoking are more or less clearly de-
tined," says DR.. Dunn in the Niaeteeath
Century. They may be caused in one
of two ways; in the upper classes by
smoking too much; in the lower by
smoking too strong tobacco, as, for ex-
ample. shag.
The toxic effects of tobacco among the
lower classes are comparatively not in-
frequent. The form which the poisoning
takes is that known to opthalmic sur
geons as tobacco amblyopia.' The men
come to the hospitals complaining of loss
sight. Commonly they are found to be
bootmakers, or those TO whom the oppor-
tunlty occurs OF smoking while they are
work. In most cases there is q serious
failure of vision. Associated with this
Is the loss OF perception for the colors red
and green, which is confined to the CEN
trail part OF the retIna. The diagnosis,
however, having been made, the treat
ment is easy enough. Practically, this
resolves itself into the emphatic prohibit
ton OF all smoking. 1t is always best TO
give the patients instructions to burn
their pipes. AS long as an old 'trusty
friend is permitted to lie on the mantel-
piece or anywhere within sight and
reach the temptation becomes almost
luxury OF renewing valued companion
ship to forget the strict injunctions
against INDUCING in the habit which had
been laid down.
Almost invariably in these cases over
indulgence is found To consist in SMOKING
half an ounce of Shag daily-that is IN
say, when the surgeon asks the patient:
How much 40 you smoker il is seldom
that any other answer is given than that
OF About half an ounce of shay a dav. }
The consistency Of this reply is really re-
markable. Tobacco amblyopia' is al
most unknown In connection with any
other form of tobacco than that which is
called shay In addition to the ambly-
opia the patients are distinctly affected
with tobacco tremors'; their hands are
shaky; they are more or less nervous,
and they complain of loss of appetite.
Their compilations, moreover, are in that
condition which may be described as
muddy, ana there IS characteristic eX-
preston Of listlessness in their eyes.
But what are the results of the treat
meDt? In most cases, the surgeon NAV
speak hopefully of the recovery of vision:
provided that the patient absolutely
ceases to smoke, and certain treatment be
applied, some improvement VIII begin to
take place in the course of fortnipht.
Always very gradually, but generally
speaking surely, the improvement pro-
crosses, until at the end of some weeks
the lost sight is nearly quite reganed.
Most commonly, however, the surgeon
never sees the end Of the cases. Generally
speaking, as soon as the patient finds that
his sight is sufficiently improved to en-
able him to attend to his work. he ceases
to come to the hospital, and the subse-
quent record of the progress is thus lost
to the surgeon"
