SESSION OF THE SENATORS.
PROPOSITIONS TO HONOR THREE
NOTABLE MEN OF THE PAST.

One Calls for the Purchase of n Statue
of victor Hugo for the New Libra
ry BuIIding-The Second Proposes
Monument 10 John Paul Jones
and the Third Provides for
Statue of President Pierce.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Senate was
in session to-day for only an hour and
quarter, and it then adjourned till to-
morrow.
Three propositions were introduced in
honor of distinguished men of the past.
The first was for the purchase OF e 5000
statute of the French novelist, Victor
Hugo, to be placed in the new library
building in Washington, now almost fin
ished. The second was for $4,000 monu-
ment to the naval hero, John Paul Jones,
to be erected in Washington. The third
was to authorize the placing of a statue
of President Franklin Pierce upon the
grounds of the public building at Con-
cord, N. H.
Mr.. Dubois, rep, Of Idaho made a short
argument in support of his proposed
amendment of the rules. so as to distrib-
ute the general appropriation bills among
the committees having charge of the va
rious subjects to which they apply. No
action was taken, as Mr. Eli signihed
a desire to speak on it, as well as on his
own proposed amendments to the rules,
in regard to cloture and the counting of
quorums.
Mr.. Allen, pop, of Nebraska spoke
briefly on his resolution for the recogni-
ton of CuSan belligerency, which also
went over without action. He declared
that the populist party was as thoroughly
committed to the Monroe doctrine as
either the democratic party or the re-
publican party; and he scoffed at Ameri-
can citizens who were so ready to become
English lords or lords in some other
country" and at the American women
who were willing to waste themselves
on titled mendicants from the east"
A resolution calling on the Secretary
of War for copies of all records in his
office relating to railroads in Tennessee
seized by the military authorities during
the civil war was offered by Mr.. Harris
and agreed to.
Mr.. Cockrell presented a memorial of
the Kansas City board of trade asking
congress to grant belligerent rights to
Cuba, and it was referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations.
At ITO D. m, the Senate proceeded TO
executive business, and five minutes later
the doors were reopend and the Senate
adjourned till tomorrow.

The great majority Of the acute cases
are caused by foreign bodies getting into
the appendix. and, having no way TO
get out, ferment and set up an infamma-
ton. These are often the seeds of small
fruits, or pms and buttons swallowed
by children. 1t is often caused by ca
tarrhal Inflammation or an Inflammation
OF the mucous membrane, and TO this
cause is attributed the very large number
OF cases noted within the last three or
four years since the advent of the grippe.
All cases begin as catarrhal infamma-
ton. sudden colds and wet feet have
brought on attacks of the disease
Within the last year or more decided
progress has been made in the diagnosis
and treatment of the disease. There are
three principal symptoms which are said
10 be infalllble: J. The sudden onset of
acute abdominal pain in one previously

whether or not the surgeons knife or
the PHYSICIANS potion is the proper meth
cd of treatment depends upon which
standpoint the argument is made. Cures
are effected both ways, and the physician
often resorts to surgery when he believes
the case demands it. The surgeon be-
lieves that it is always best to remove
the appendix and in the paper read by
DR.. Beaver il is stated that in the statis-
ties of 200 cases where the operation was
performed between the attacks there were
but two deaths, and they occurred in
the first hundred. As to the proper time
for operating. he believes with Macbeth.
that If 'twere done when tits done. then
were well it We're done quickly" and
an operation should be performed as
soon as the disease is diagnosed Also,
if an acute or chronic case is apparently
cured, the appendix should be removed
before the occurrence of another attack
The physician demurs to this operation
upon a well man who may never have
another attack. 1t is believed, too by
many physicians, that a large majority
of patients with appendicitis. will, if prop
erly treated, get well without an op-

In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky

Rowan and Morgan, and has during that time
suffered more than many of the patients on

his cure was so startling and miraculous
that it was soon the talk of the the noun
