and II can easily be done now There
were fifteen new cases found Tuesday
and the sufferers were removed to the
hospital.
An Indianapolis dispatch says that
Indiana authorities may ask that all
passengers to or through Indiana be
subjected to inspection by the Illinois
officials, and IL this be refused quaran-
tine stations will be established along
the Indiana line and the trains out OF
Chicago will be held for inspection and
examination. The officials believe
that less inconvenience would be
occasioned the travelling public by ap-
plying the remedy in Chicago, but if
this cannot be done the Indiana
authorities will act on their own soil.
DIR. M. r. Trumbower, State Veter-
marian of Illinois, was some time ago
requested by DIR. J. w. Scott, Secre-
tary of the State Board OF Health, to
proceed to Lombard Dupage County,
and make an inspection of the cattle
that are used there for cultivating
vaccine virus. He did so, and has sub
mitted his report. After giving the
character of the cattle selected from
the Union Stockyards at Chicago, he
tells how they a @ cared for on the
vaccine farm, and concludes his report
as follows:
This business has been carried on for the
past seven years, and at present from
twelve to fourteen cattle are used weekly.
ABOUT $4,000 points are produced from
twelve cattle. So far as l can see. every
thing is conducted in a proper manner; no
disease or improper cattle are used. and
the produc: ought to be reliable and be-
yond suspicion.
The State prison at Sing Sing, N.

will undoubtedly be delivered on the
Senate floor. There is no such thing
as "leave to print in the Senate.
The order of the speech-making is in
the hands of the Vice President. He
may recognize whom he pleases. Mr..
Stevenson will follow his customary
rule in the tariff discussion. Where
several orators from each side OF the
Senate expect to speak, he will arrange
to recognize them alternately-frst a
Democrat and then Republican.
The names of those who are to be
recognized are entered on a little slip
of paper, which the Vice President has
on the desk before him. This slip Of
paper tells him who is to make the
first speech, and twenty other Senators
might address the Chair in opposition
to the gentleman whose name headed
the list and Mr.. Stevenson would pass
over them all IL Senator wishes TO
speak at length he must make arrange
ments in advance with the presiding
officer. -
Clerks Preparing Data
The Senate clerks are in the midst
OF a heavy siege of work. Petitions
and memorials for and against features
OF the Wilson bill are being received.

finance committee, has several thou

quency during the discussion of
the silver-purchase-repeal bill at
the special session of Congress.
But this Is done chiefly to oon-
vince the country that the Democratic
Senators are not prolonging the dis
cussion willingly. Great pressure will
be brought to bear by the representa-
tives of business interests to have the
debate brought to speedy termina-
tion, so that the country may know
what business conditions II has to meet.
In Difference to their demand, the
Democratic Senators will make dem
onstrations at regular intervals appar-
emily looking to a termination of the
discussion, but really with no hope that
the Republican Senators will respond
to their appeals. The Republican Sem
ators will assume very willingly the re-
sponsibility for postponing the vote on
the Wilson bill until every chance Of
defeating it has been exhausted.

MURDERER SHOT TO DEATH.

Joseph Dick Suffers the Extreme Penalty
According to Creek Law.
Joseph Dick, full-blooded Creek
Indian, was shot to death ten miles
west of Eufala, 1. T., for the murder Of
another Indian named Grey. A few
minutes after p. m. the sheriff went
out and selected a spot for the execu-
tion. He placed small box against
tree and returned to Jail and
beckoned to the prisoner to fol-
low him. Dick Strengthened him
self up, looked around at the ten
guards surrounding him, and leisurely
strolled out to the place Of execution.
He took seat upon the box, and. this
proving unsteady, he arose and jammed
It down solidly and then again sat upon
it as coolly as though he were taking
his seat to be photographed. A red
handkerchief was tied over his eyes
and piece OF white paper pinned over
his heart. Not muscle of his face or
hands moved. Two of the guards took
position twenty-five feet distant and
both fired at the white spot, killing
Dick instantly.

Mr.. WILSON MUCH BETTER.

Eats with Relish Atole, a Nutritious Dish,
Prepared by Indian Women.
A late bulletin from DR.. Underwood,
who is nursing Congressman Wilson at
Guadalajara, is very encouraging. His
pulse is steady, his temperature fairly
normal, and his appetite good. The
Mexican physician has prescribed atole
as diet. Atole is a very nutritious dish.
Corn is ground by hand by Indian
women, and the meal Is then parched
and sifted into boiling hot water or
milk in the same manner as used in
mush in the United States. It is, how
ever, much more appetizing than mush
when freshly ground and cooked. Con-
gresham Tarsney has the best Indian
woman obtainable cooking it fresh at
all hours of the day, as Mr.. Wilson
eats 1t with relish, but can take only a
few spoonfuls at time. Consul Gem
eral Crittenden received a message
from Mr.. Tarsney saying Mr.. Wilson
is improving, that the climate is splen-
did, and he thinks the patient will pull
through. Mr.. Wilson is much pros
trated, hut it is believed that the crisis
Is past.

Few Ready Debaters
There are few ready tariff debaters
in the Senate and the running discus
sion of the Wilson bill will be confined
to five or six men. The other Senator 9
will guard local interests and make set
speeches. The Senators who will be
heard most frequently from day to day
are Vest, Mills, Jones of Arkansas,
Mcpherson and Harris on the Demo
cratic side; Aldrich, Allison, Sherman,
Teller and Lodge on the Republican.
These are the men who will debate
pending amendments seriously and to
the enjoyment OF the Senate and the
galleries. There are, however, few
Senators who will not make set speeches
on the Wilson bill. Each of them con-

THROUGH THE HOUSE.
Filibusters Make Their Last stand, but the
Deadlock II Broken and the Silver seign-
forage Coinage Bill rs Amended Is Passed

The NIissourian victorlous.

The long struggle in the House over
the Bland bill for the coinage OF the
silver seigniorage and the silver bull
ion in the treasury ives ended Thurs
day by the passage Of the bill by q
vote OF 1877 to 100, majority in favor
OF the bill Of 81. The special order to
bring the bill to q vote was adopted by
bare quorum Immediately after the
House convened. This broke the oppo-
sition OF the filibusters and they we're
powerless to do anything further to
place an obstacle in the way Of the
bill. All the amendments offered to
the measure by its opponents were de-
feated, the one which polled the most
votes being Mr.. Outhwaites amend
ment to strike out the second section.
The following is the vote in detail on
the final passage Of the bill. the Dem
ecrats being in roman, the Republi.
cans in italics and populists in SMALL
CAPS.

SENATOR MORRILL, discussing the tariff
there were two great possibilities that
the Wilson bill would not reach the
President-now there Is only one OBJ
struction, opposition in the Senate.
May he Prolonged.
There is very little doubt in the
minds of any of the Democratic Sena-
tors that the debate may be prolonged
for several weeks. Republican Sena-
tors are anxious to delay the vote in
the hope that influences may be brought
to bear which will defeat the bill al
together. They have the precedent Of
a three months debate allowed to the
Democrats when the Mckinley bill was
under discussion, and they have little
doubt that the Democrats will be will
ing to accord them the same privilege
of discussing at length the Wilson bill.
Under the rules of the Senate debate
can be prolonged by stubborn mi
nority from the beginning of a session
until its close, for the purpose OF
preventing the passage of an OBJ
noxious measure. Once in the his
tory OF the Senate it adjourned with
out the trans action of any business be-
cause, the membership being divided
equally between the two parties, the
Democrats would not agree that the
vote of the Vice President should be
cast to elect Republican secretary
and other offices. This is one of the
few instances in which the power to
filibuster in the Senate has been used
to prevent action of any kind.
No Attempt to Filibuster.
It is q notable fact that no attempt
was made to prevent the passage of
the Mckinley tariff bill by filibuster-

In one corner of the grounds is a

"salted" with gold dust and small
nuggets, giving the spectacle the full
air of realism.

tors that it will not command the nec-
sary majority when it is put on pas
sage. Several Republican Senators
said, just before the vote on the Nc
Kinley bill Svas taken that two, and
possibly three, Democratic votes could
be had If they were needed. The
Democrats who were said to be
available for the passage of the
Mckinley bill at that time are
still members of the Senate, and the
vote on the Wilson bill ought to show
how much truth there was in the state
ments made by the Republican Sena-
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-03-08

The bill as passed was in the nature OF
a substitute for the original text of the
measure. The changes do not affect
the material features of the bill, which
provide for the coinage of the silver
seigniorage In the Treasury, the issue
of silver certificates thereon II need
be, in the discretion of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, in advance Of the
coinage, and thereafter the coinage of
the remainder of the bullion as fast as
practicable, and the issue of silver
certificates thereon to take the place
of the Treasury notes issued under
the Sherman act, which are to be re-
tired and cancelled as rapidly as the
coinage takes place. The changes
made in the substitute simply make spe-
cific the fact that the seigniorage is to
be coined, and that this bill shall not af-
feet the redemption of the Treasury
notes under existing law.
An analysis of the vote by which the
bill passed shows that 141 Democrats,
10 Republicans, and Populists total
1917 voted for it, and 30 Republicans
and so Democrats total 1907 voted
against it.

The average newspaper reader, II he

perhaps, how eighty-five Senators will
manage to consume three months In
tariff debate. If each Senator had an
entire legislative day allotted to him,
