fried oysters To the feminine palate
especially is this preparation of the suc-
calent bivalve SO dear that box of them,
etsaming hot, is popularity believed to be
the only thing that will sppease the Just
wrath Of an irate wife when her erring
spouse has been out late with the boys.
But all this applies strictly and only TO
the restaurant oyster. Even as this is q
thing TO delight the human palate, so Is
the ordinary home fried oyster tough, hard
and greasy, thing to be Stunned and fed
from. Mind, say the ordinary" homo
fried oyster, for there are housewives,
though their name Is not legion, who have
learned the secret of successfully handling
this delicate morsel. From such a one did
/ receive the following directions, which
will, II carefully followed, reward the eff
forts of the most inexperienced of amateur
cooks:
In the first place, avoid cracker crumbs
They are pasty and will make a hard outer
shell around the oyster that will in the
beginning remove any possibility of sue
cess Instead put some stale bread in the
oven to dry, and after il is thoroughly hard
and dry CRATE il finely and keep the
crumbs in glass jar, so that il any are
left they can be kept for future use.
Then beat together al egg and cup OF
sweet milk, seasoning with salt, pepper
and, If liked, a little Worcester sauce. Be
sure not TO beat tho egg separately. Dip
the oysters first in their own liquid, then
In the crumbs, then in the egg and milk
and lastly in the crumbs again. Then
comes the actual frying, which Is the cru.
cial point. The secret of success Is to have
plenty of fat and have IL boiling hot.
The oysters should only be immersed Q
minute or so-just long enough to brown
them delicately on both sides. A wire egg
whip makes good turner. After frying
lay them on brown paper 10 absorb tho
grease that may be in them. Renember
that too much cooking will make the finest
oyster tough and generally unpleasant. IL
these directions are carefully followed, the
oysters will be plump and delicious. Large
oysters are not especially desirable, except
for looks The small ones taste quite as
good. Cooks IN restaurants have trick

years, similar to the bonds issued under
the resumption act. It is SubStan-
tally similar to Mr.. Shermans bill
introduced in the senate.
FIRST PAY EXPENSES.
Section two embodies the new phase
introduced by Mr.. Reed and is as FOL
lows: THAT tc enable the secretary
of the treasury to pay the current ex-
penSeS of the government, so long as the
current revenues shall be deficient, he
is authorized and required, from time
TO time, in his discretion, to issue, sell
and dispose of not less than par, such
an amount OF certificates of indebted
ness of the denominations Of $25, $50
and 800 or any multiple thereof. as may
be needed for that purpose, bearing
not to exceed three per cent interest per
annum payable semi-annually and re-
deemabIe at the pleasure of the govern
ment in coin, after two years from their
date, with like qualities, privileges
and exemptions provided in the act APP
proved January IA, 1876. The secretary
may at his discretion sell and dispose
of the same for not less than an equal
amount of lawful money of the United
States and at designated repositories
of the United States and at such post
offices as he may select and the Secre-
tary shall use the proceeds thereof Tor
the purpose provided Tor IN THIS sec
ton and for none other.
THEY ARE CALLED GROWERS"
Mr. Walker Rep. Mass.) also oppos-
ed the administration measure. He
was very sarcastic at times. The gov
eminent had already ben forced to is
sue one hundred million dollars of
bonds which were denominated Gro
Vers" Shortly one hundred million
more Growers and the next step
would be the isue of five hundred mill
ion Growers"
Mr.. Simpson Pop. Kan.) said in the
beginning of his remarks that he could
add no hilarity TO this funeral occas-
ion" He inquired as to the moral OBJ
LEGATIONS to which Mr.. Springer had
referred as binding the secretary to re
deem obligations in gold, and declared
ii was an evil inheritance from Repubu-
can rule. He characterized the new
bill as a complete surrender or the
Democratic party to the banking inter-
ests.
Mr.. Pence Pop. Colo) marvelled that
such a measure as the pending Dill
should emanate from Democratic
committee at the dictation Of a Demo
cratic president and he expressed for
himself and his party a Willingness
to cooperate for the passage OF some
relief measure.
Mr.. McKeighan pop. Nebo followed
in the line, creating some amusement
by calling MIR. Springer the artIui
dodger of the situation.
The committee then rose ana the
house. at 4:45 p. m, adjourned unlii

that the severest reflections upon the fem

GUS agreements. Among the latter was
one between the Wabash and other
lines by which the Wabash was able to
offer its shippers continuous route to
New York. Counsel for the defense OBJ
jected to the introduction of these docu-
ments, but the court, after considerable
argument, decided to admit the papers
as evidence. Mr. Block of Buffalo, rep
re senting the Lackawanna road, moved
the discharge of Messrs. Spriggs and
Fell of Cleveland and Buffalo, on the
ground that the offense, if any, were
&C nmitted outside the jurisdiction Of
the court. Judge Phillips thought
that the offenses were consumated
where the money represented by the
vouchers was paid. But proof as to
Spriggs' guilt was scanty, and, he said
he would direct acquittal as to him.
The evidence against Milton Knight,
freight traffic manager of the Wabash.
was held to be insufficient by Judge
Phillips and he also was acquitted. The
case OF the other defendants will be
argued and concluded tomorrow.

ULTIMATUM FAILS TO ULTIMATE.
Air Is Full Of War I'm Mexico, but the Gov.
eminent Hesitates.

City of Mexico, Via Galveston, Feb 5.
There was no change in the situation
today and the government has not
given out any information. While the
city is full of all kinds of rumors as to
war, nothing authentic can be learned.
Today is a national holiday and feasts
are in full swing at Tacubaya.
The constitutional anniversary Of this
government was celebrated here today.
All of the civic societies headed by
bands and banners marched through
the principal streets and waited upon
the president at the executive mansion.
1t was, in fact, gala day in the City
of Mexico.
Lieutenant Avis, of the seventh regi-
ment, committed suicide last night at
military headquarters. No cause is
assigned for the deed. He was one of
the most popular officers in the Mexican
service
MIR. De Leon stated tonight to an As
sociated press reporter that he was
waiting important letter from his coun-
try, Guatemala, which he thought
will settle the controversy between
Mexico and Guatemala over the bound
airy question. His conversation was of
a nature to lead noe TO the belief that
he had given up the idea of war alto
gether.

City Laborers Is DeplOred.

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 5.-The supreme
council of the National Farmers Alli-
ance and Industrial union met in an
| nual convention here today. United
States Senator-elect Marion Butler.
presidnt of the National alliance, called
the council to order and presented May
or Badger, of this city, who delivered
the address of welcome. The mayor, in
belieyelioont koHyt-p &C Pc hentsapdt
his remarks referred to the efforts of a
malignant character to create preiu-
dice between the laborers of the city
and the laborers of the country and
hoped that the influence of the alliance
might be eXerted toward cessation of
all such schemes.
President Mowburn, of the North
Carolina state alliance, welcomed the
council on behalf of the state. Re-
sponses were made by H. L. Loucks, of
South Dakota, ex-president of the or
ganization. and !. Z. Dean, OF New
York.
Delegates are present from twenty
states and more are expected tonlor-
row.
At the evening meeting of the council
the following resolutions on the cur
rency question were adopted:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported
that another bond issue has been de-
termined upon by the president of the
United States; and
Whereas, In our opinion existing
statute laws do not authorize such is
sue; neither do present energies re-
quire it; and
Whereas, The power is now reposed
in the general government to meet
such pressing contingencies and by the
plain terms of existing laws; therefore,
Resolved, That this national council
of the Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union in regular annual session
assembled, enter our solemn and most
earnest protest against such issue.
Resolved, That instead, the admins
tration be urged to employ the optional
allowed by law and pay out silver as
well as gold when coin is demanded for
the treasury notes.
Resolved, If this does not end the
present emergency the government be
requested to issue non-interest bearing
full legal tender treasury notes.

from China in confirmation of the re-
ported capture by Chinese mob of
some Of the officers OF the United States

ton. This lack Of an official report
has strengthened the belief Of officials
that the story was either without
foundation or else much exaggerated

commanding officer OF the Concord
would have been Obliged by the naval
regulations to report the event imme-

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-The smorn
statement of the captain of the Walma-

Japanese Treaty Cannot be Abrogated Be
fore the Date of Taking Eject.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The senate to-
day modified its former action on the
Japanese treaty to the extent of insert
ing a provision which Will render it i'm
possible to abrogate the treaty before
it goes into effect. In the absence OF
Senator Morgan, Senator Frye moved
reconsideration of the resolution and
then moved that the word thereafter"
should be inserted in place Of the
words stricken out. This word comes
after the date 1899, when the treaty
takes effect and the entire clause reads
that neither nation shall have the
right on enc years notice after that
date to abrogate the treaty. There was
no opposition on the part of any sem
ator to change and nothing was said be-
yond the brief comment of several sem
atoIs that they had never desired that
the treaty should be nullified before L.
