Will then be no occasion to find fault after

can be seen to run up and down upon
the walls. He is about four to six
inches in length and is not particu-

sting generally results fatally. / was
in a hotel at one time where two
other salemen stopped in the same
room, and as we went to go to bed
saw the scorpions chasing each
other up and down the wall. IcaIIed
my fellow-travelers' attention to
them, but they thought that they
could protect themselves, and we all
went to bed. put up a shield, as is
common in that country, but my
friends were not used to this protec-
ton, and in the morning the man
who thought he was safe was dead.

A Peep into the Future.

We read about the ''swarming mil
lions" of Russia, and suppose that
the poor people of the czar's domin-
ion are coming over here for lack of
room. Well, the census says there
are 100000 of them, or about
double the number of people in the
United States. But Russia has s.
100000 square miles of territory,
while the United States, counting
Alaska, has 3,569,53O. With an
average of forty acres apiece, or 200
acres for every family of i've, it is ev-
ident that our Russian immigrants
are not crowded off for lack of space.
When our country becomes filed
with people, there will be great rush
for the unoccupied fields of Russia.
But still the cry will go up, Young
man, go west, for the Behring straits
will be bridged, and the entry into
Asia will be made by rail, the emf.

IN CONGRESS.
A Condensed Report of the Prooep dings
In Both Branches.

A Condensed Report of the Proceedings
In Both Branches.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The success of
the filibuster against the Bland silver
seignior &c bill forced the Democratic nd
vocates oil the measure TO invoke the de-
cree of a caucus, and Immediately after
adjournment n caucus was held in the
hall of the house to consider the situ ton.
The opening session of the senate was
unusually devoid of interest. Senator
Hale presented a resolution to investigate
certain printing contracts, but the matter
did not even create discussion, although
the resolution was adopted.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2l.-The deadlock on
the Bland seigniorage bill was not broken
in the house Rollcall followed rollcall
until clock. when, it being apparent
that Mr.. Bland could not muster a
quorum on his proposition, he moved an
adjournment The high water mark
yesterday was 40. nine short of n quorum.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22-Less than 80
representatives were in their seats when
the session of the house was opened.
A long colloquy occurred between
Speaker Crisp and Mr.. Reed, and finally,
ON Mr.. BANDS motion to order call Of
the house, Mr. Reed asked for tellers, and,
having secured them, Mr.. Bland de-
manded the yeas and nays, thus intro
ducing variation of the routine of fill
clustering and slightly complicating the
situation.
Soon after the senate met, Mr.. Voorhees,
denied statement made as to the action
of Democratic membe:s of the finance
committee who were represented as hnv-
ing gone to the White House to consult
with the president as to certain items in a
bill. He declared that there was not the
slightest trace of truth in the statement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The house cele-
brated Washington's birthday by wrang-
ling over the deadlock caused by BANDS
seigniorage bill with such unusual ex-
element that the house had to be adj
journed at 3 O'Clock.
4 wAsHIyGToN, Feb. 24-Every effort to
secure Quorum for the passage of the
Bland seigniorage bill having failed, the
friends of that measure are willing to
have another, and are circulating petit
ton to that end in the hope of agreeing
upon some plan that will relieve them
from their present dilemma.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The battle over
the Bland seigniorage bill will go merrily
on in the house this week. Despite the
many reverses MIR. Bland has met in his
attempts to procure quorum, he is as
determined as ever to fight it out on this
line, if it takes all winter.
The senate has made but little progress
during the past two weeks in its efforts to
clean up the calendar in advance of the
forthcoming discussion of the tariff bill
in the senate. Ifthe opportunity is af-
forded it will continue its work on the
calendar during the present week
