THE INCOME TAX APPROPRIATION.
Senator COcISrelI Thinks That 1t Will
Pass Through After Some Delay.

Senator Cockrel. chairman of the Senate
committee on appropriations, was at the
Capitol today He said he probably would
call the committee together soon after the
reconvening OF Congress and that the ur-
gent deficiency bill. which contains the pro-
vision for an appropriation to put the in
come tax into operation, would be taken UP
as soon as practicable. Mr.. Cockrell is not
apprehensive as to the fate of this pro-
vision, and while he does not hope that 1t
will go through the Senate without some
opposition. he does not count upon antag-
onism sufficient to materially delay the
passage of the bill.
He says that effectual opposition to the
appropriation of money for the execution
of any law would be most exceptional, and
he does not believe that any considerable
number of Senators will engage in il. either
In committee or in the Senate, whatever
their convictions in regard to the merits of
the law itself may he. Mr.. Cockrell says
he thinks 1T probable that the bill may
be made the basis of a few speeches in
opposition when reported to the Senate, but
he does not count upon anything like a fiji
buster against it.

SAME OLD AIR

Hangs Around the Corridors of the
= .-a .-s775 Capitol.
Notwithstanding the fact that Congress
resumes its sessions tomorrow there are
very few Representatives and Senators in
the city. The exodus of Congressman at
the commencement of the holiday recess
this year was unt1sually large and very few
HAVE Yet returned. The chances for a quo
rum tomorrow are therefore very slender.
The Capitol was deserted today. the great
building presenting an unusually dreary
and unwashed appearance. The need of an
energetic force of cleaners and scrubbers
was apparent in the corridors and Hobbies.
The building evidences very apparent
need of ventilation also. The air through
out the House wing was close and foul.
Musty odors, the presence of stale tobacco
smoke and the smells from the restau-
rant kitchen demonstrated that it would
be necessary to throw open doors and win
dows and let some of the frosty outside air
get through the building to make it habit
able. The impression which one received
upon entering the building today was that
the same old tobacco-laden stratas of air
which Congress left ten days ago still
hover around to meet the returning crowds
as old friends.

AN1T-TOXINE PURCHASE.
Surgeon General Sternberg to Test Its
Efficacy at Fort. Yates.

Efficacy at Fort, Yates.
Surgeon General Sternberg of the army
has given instructions for the purchase of
a quantity of anti-toxine for Use in the
treatment of diphtheritic patients at Fort
Yates, N d. He is fiFm believer in the
serum cure and has called for detailed re-
ports of the experiments to be. made at
Fort Yates Their success will undoubtedly
lead to the adoption of antf-toXihe by the
medical department, of the army. Assistant
Surgeon Chas. B. Ewing, stationed at JEFF
ferson barracks, No., has been authorized
to secure horses for the purpose of pro-
ducing anti-toxine and to give it a thorough
trial in the treatment of diphtheria and
kindred diseases.
Surgeon General Stcrnberg is of the opin-
ion that there should be national board
of health, with full powers to investigate
such matters as this, and many officers of
the army and navy urge the procurement
of serum for use. in the service generally.
Several Of them agree that 1t would be
well for the federal government to take
steps for the production of anti-toxine.
In this they agree with DR.. kinyoun OF
the marine hospital service, who has taken
strong grounds in favor of governmental
supervision of the preparation of the
serum pr. Kinyoun has made study of
this treatment IN Paris and Berlin and
has made an exhaustive report to the
marine hospital bureau. 49,.
In this report he says:
Prof Koch, on November f. convened
a meeting of the Prussian board of health
for the purpose of determining what action
was necessary to be. taken by that body
in regard to the control or supervision of
the use of the aRti-toxine. l had been told
by Prof. Koch afew days before this that.
he thought that there should be some gov
eminent supervision of the serum, SO that
the serum could always be relied on. If
there was such supervision 1T would not
be long before spurious articles would be
put on the market, and not only good
remedy would be brought into disrepite,
but that lives would be sacrificed when
they might be saved
liz was decided at the meeting of the
board that ali serum intended for use IN
Prussia should be inspected at the lnSti-
tute and tested for its purity and strength
before ii would be allowed to be used. This
step, / learn. was satisfactory to all the
parties concerned, and viii be the means.
of insuring a good article of standard
strength at all times for Prussia. 49,,
In this connection l would like to call at
tention to what will evidently ensue in or
country. Many persons will. during the en-
suing year. commence to prepare the serum
as business enterprise, and there will.
without doubt. be many worthless articles
called anti-toxine thrown upon The market.
All the serum intended for sale should be
made or tested by competent persons. The
testing, in fact, should be done by :disin-
terested parties.

DISTRICT SUPREME COURT.
No Change in the Assignment of
Judges Until After the Howgute Trial.

No Change in the Assignment of
Judges Until After the Howgnte Trial.
AS intimated IN The Star several days
ago would be the case, the present assign
ment of the members of the District Su-
preme Court will remain unchanged for
some time yet, certainly until after the
trial of Capt Henry w. Howgate shall
have taken place. The Howgate trial. as
heretofore explained in The Star, will be
in Criminal Court No. 1 and before Judge
McComas despite the practically admitted
efforts of Capt. Howgates counsel to have
some other member of the court preside at
the trial. The Howgate case. it is believ-
ed, will be tried during the present month,
and it is expected that 1t will be quite
lengthy one, probably continuing several
weeks. In anticipation of such an event
an order was made by the Court in Cen
eral Term yesterday afternoon direct ting
that the present assignment of the judges
shall continue until the further order of
the court. The present assignment is as
folIows Equity Court No. l, Judge Cox;
Judge Bradley; No. 2, Chief Justice Bing-
ham; Criminal Court No. l, Judge Nc
Comas; No 2, Judge Cole; Probate Court,
Judge Hagner.
Probable Assignments.
1t is understood that had the assign
ment of the judges for 1895 been made 1t
would have been as follows: Equity Court
No. 1, Chief Justice Bingham; No. 2, Judge
Hagner; Circuit Court No. 1, Judge Brad
ley; No. 2, Judge McComas; Criminal Court
No. 1, Judge Cox; No. 2 Judge Cole; Pro-
bate Court, Judge Hagner. When the as
signment 10 made. which will probably
now be some time next month, 1t Is I'M
derstood that it will be as above indicated.
The kidtveII Bottoms Case.
Congress. by a recent act, has given the
District Supreme Court jurisdiction in the
matter of the 1ong-pendng Kidwell bot
toms case, in which the Kidwell heirs and
other parties claim land on the river front.
While the case will probably be heard
by the court in general term. Chief Justice
Bingham stated to a Star reporter today
that Just which members of the District
Supreme Court would compose the court
in general term had not been determined.
It was simply surprising, he explained to
predict the members of the court in that
case at the present time. When the case
would be called he did not know. said the
chief Justice as that was matter wholly
in the discretion of the district attorney.
District Attorney Birney subsequently
stated that he expected in few days to
ask the court in general term to set a day
for it's consideration of the case, but was
of the opinion that the case could not we'll
be heard before sometime next month.
Two Are Disqualified.
In the Kidwell case both Judges Cox and
Cole are disqualified from sitting in
1t. the former because his children are in
terested parties, and the latter because he
was at one time connected with the case
when he was district attorney. Hence the
members of the court hearing the case will
probably be Chief Justice Bingham and
Judge Hagner, and either Judge Bradley or
Judge McComas.
