BroWn-Seauard Dead.

DR.. Charles Edward Brown-Sequard, the
famous physician, died in Paris April 2, OF
congestion of the brain. He was 76 yeard old.
The first formal announcement of his sup
posed discovery of the fortifying fluid which
had become famous under the title Elixir of
Life" was made by DIR. Brown-Sequard before
the Socete de Biologie of Paris On June /,
1889. He then told for the first time how he
had observed that simultaneous injections of
the secretons OF certain glands of dogs, guinea
pigs, and rabbits produced invigoratipg effects
upon the human body.
Although the Elixir of Life never gained
popularity and achieved but few lasting re-
suits, yet Dr. Brown Sequard's experiments
opened an entirely new field of phi physiological
research. Since then many physicians have
used the glands of other animals for trans
planting, and have accomplished wonderful
results with their secretons. During the last
few years DR.. Brown-Sequard lived in retire
ment, devoting his time to reading and max
ing physiological experiments.

FRIDAY. APRIL 6.

In the Senate, after some unimportant bust
ness had been transacted, Mr. Hill IN. Y, d.
moved that when the Senate adjourn to-day it
should adjourn until Monday next

feated, yeas %, nays g. All the Republican

Since the commencement OF the session the
Senate has been in the habit of adjourning from
Friday until Monday, principally because there
has been so little business to occupy its atten-
ton. With the tariff bill before it now there
is plenty TO keep the Senate hard at work.

Gen. Gordon's Record.

Several readers of The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE have asked Us to give them the military
record of Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia.
He was born in Georgia in 1882, and gradu-
ated from the University of that State. He
was practicing lawyer at the outbreak Of
the war and raised a company of infantry,
of which he became Captain. He was sue
cessively promoted to Major, Lieutenant
Colonel and Colonel in his regiment, and
then to Brigadier and Msjor-General. He
commanded the Second Corps of the Army
of Northern Virginia. and at ApPOmattox
was in command of the left wing of the
rebel forces, which tried TO break through
the wall of men which Sheridan had thrown
across the road to Lynchburg. He was
wounded eight times in battle, the last be-
ing one which left great scar on his face.

MONDAY. APRIL 8.

In the Senate there was a crowded attend
ance. The two main attractions were the in
duction into office of new Senator, Mr.
Patrick Walsh, of Georgia. to fill cut the term
OF the late Senator Coiguitt, and the speech
of Senator Hill on the tariff.
Dir. Hill began his speech at o'clock. and
he gave his hearers all the sensation which
they craved. He did attack the Administra-
ton, criticsing briefly but as strongly as any
Republican could the Administrators Ha-
waiian policy. Scarce a Senator's seat was
vacant either side of the chamber, and
scores OF members OF the House of Represen ia
tives, Democrats and Republicans, had focked
into the Senate chamber in time to catch and
enjoy the words of criticism.
He dilated at much length in opposition to the
income tax, and OH this point it is recognized
by all there is legitimate division in the
Democratic party. He declared his purpose to
fight the tariff bill openly. and much appre-
hension is felt by the Democrats that it will be
defeated in the Senate. Certainly no Republi-
can, no protection speech has yet been or is
likely to be made containing stronger animus
against the measure. An open rupture in the
party, the severance of long-established rela-
tions, and what not are now expected.

In the Senate Mr.. George Miss, d. offered
a resolution, which was referred to the Judi
ciary Committee, instructing that committee to
prepare and report bill reducing by 20 per
cent. all official incomes not protected from re-
duction by the Constitution.
The bill approprating 100000 for the de-
struction of the Russian thistle was taken up,
and an argument against it was made by Mr..

resolution was agreed to requesting the
President to inform the Senate as to the condi-
tion of affairs in Samoa and to communicate
copies of correspondence on the subject with
Great Britain and Germany.
The tariff bill was then taken up, and Mr..
PETER Kan. P) addressed the Senate. He said
he was afraid that the bill was not bill to re-
duce taxation, but bill to increase taxation.
If it were bill TO reduce taxation he would be
glad to vote for it.
Mr. PETER spoke Of "Coxey's army of the
Commonweal" as a body Of men gathering
strength as it moved, coming slowly toward
the Capital of the Nation-it might be loosely
and wildly, but still showing that there was
trouble brewing" And that trouble came. he
said, from unjust taxation. he hoped that
Senators would concur in an earnest desire for
legislation that would reduce taxation.
After Mr.. PETER had spoken two hours it was
agreed that he night continue tomorrow.
Still later in the day motion was made to
go into Executive session. and as there was no
quorum present, and it was clearly the design
of the opponents of the tariff bill to filibuster,
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow, it being
then only few minutes before o'clock.
There is feeling that the Senate will have
to be prodded into activity, and the country
will have to demand that the Senate make
more rapid progress
In the House, after roll-call on a measure
providing for clerical appointment to one of
the Senate committees, Mr.. Reed, criticising n
decision of the Speaker regarding an interpre-
tation of the roll-call said it was strange to
have the roll-call interrupted even by unani-
nous consent.
The Speaker said: "The gentleman from
Maine objects Call the roll"
Mr.. Reed mphaticaly)-The gentleman
from Maine does not object.
The Speaker insisted that the ex-Speaker
did,
Mr. Reed-My statement will go into the
Record
The Speaker-So will that of the Chair.
Then Mr.. Reed retorted And the public
will be able to judge. 1t is question of We
racity"
This closed the incident and the resolution
was passed.
1.-The House then, in Committee of the Whole,
resumed consideration of the Postofiice appro-
priation BILL
As reported, the bill contained an item Of
$243000 for printing postage stamps. Under
the bid of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing to do the work, Mr.. Henderson moved to
reduce the amount to $4,000
Mr.. Dunphy IN. Y. d. moved to further
amend by providing that none of the stamps
shall be printed at the Bureau of Engraving
aud Printing. Mr. Henderson made point of
order against Mr.. Dunphy's amendment.
Without disposing of the question, the Com
mittee rose and the House took recess.
At the night session about so members were
present. Six private pension bills were con-
sidered. At 1920 the House adjourned.
