SENATE DISCUSSES BONDS.
HnIs Resolution Precipitates a Debate
in the Upper House


WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The Senate
was enllvened yesterday by spirited
and somewhat personal debate, in
which Mr.. Hill of New York and Mr..
Teller of Colorado were the principal
figures. The New York Senator pre-
cipitated consideration of the bond
question by offering a resolution di-
recting that future bond issues to re-
new the gold reserve should bear pro-
vision that they would be payable in
gold or silver at the option of the
holder. In support of this bill Mr..
Hill read a speech setting forth the
difficulties of negotiating bonds under
the uncertainties of the present law.
Mr.. Teller's reply to Mr.. Hill was
cutting, sarcastic and personal He
repudiated and protested against the
efforts of the President and his tide
walters to defame the credit of the
United States. He spoke of the recent
visit to Washington of a great New
York banker as one of those who had
participated in the 'tdishonorable or
imbecile'' bond transaction of last
year The galleries were crowded
during the debate, and the Senators as
well as spectators keenly enjoyed the
caustic tilt. Mr.. Allen of Nebraska
added his protest to that of Mr. Teller
against the defamation of our national
credit. No final action on the Hill
resolution was taken.

HAVANA Still in suspense.

HAVANA, Dec. 2s.-The excitement
which has prevailed here since the in
surgent army under Gomez and Maceo
entered the province of Matanzas con-
tinues to-day, and is heightened by
the meagerness of the news from the
front. The Spanish authorities insist
that the insurgents are in retreat, and
yet Captain General Martinez de
Campos is still here, and the work of
fortifying Havana and it's vicinity
continues without an hours interrupt
ton in any direction.

THEY STARTED WRONG.

a Newly Married Couple Find Them
selves Suddenly Separated.
From the Portland Oregonian: Mr..
and Mrs. W. H. Hahlo, of Butte, Mont,
who are making a bridal tour of the
Pacific coast, are st piping at the Port
land. They we're married at Spokane
recently, where the bride, well-known
in society circles of that city as Miss
Fisher, has lived for several years. Her
father is a prominent furrier of that
place. Mr.. Hahlo is a prosperous mer-
chant of Butte and has a large circle
of friends in the northwest. The next
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Hahlo met with
curious mishap at the Union depot in
Spokane, where they were to take the
Great Northern sleeping car for this
city over the Oregon Railway and Navi-
cation company's line. The Oregon
Railway and Navigation company's
train and the Great Northern train
leave the depot within three minutes
Of each other, one bound for the east,
the other for this city. Mrs. Hahlo, ac-
companied by some friends, went to
the depot without Mr.. Hahlo, who was
to join her before the train left. He
had been delayed up town by some
business arrangement. Mrs. Hahlo, by
mistake, got aboard the Great North
ern train, east-bound. Mr.. HahIo ar
rived at the depot and, supposing that
his bride was safely aboard the Great
Northern sleeper, on the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation cempany's train,
stepped aboard just as the train was
pulling out of the station. Going into
the sleeper Mr.. Hahlo soon discovered
that his wife was not on the train. I'm
mediately, to draw it mild, he got con-
siderably excited. The train had gone
several miles before he had made up his
mind the best thing he could do would
be to get off and walk back to Spokane.
Meantime Mrs. Hahlo was having an
interesting time. When the Great
Northern train pulled out of { depot
for the east and her husban had not
joined her in the sleeper, she sent for
the conductor, who soon discovered she
was on the wrong train.
A few miles east of Spokane the Great
Northern track crosses the Northern
Pacific track. There Mrs. Hahlo was
handed off the train and fortunately
caught a Northern Pacific train back to
Spokane within a few minutes. Ar
irving at Spokane she met her husband.
Explanations were exchanged and
everybody was happy again in a very
short time. Subsequently Mr.. and Mrs.
Hahlo got on the right train together
and arrived in this city.

Baxard Resolution Very Mid.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-The House
committee on foreign affairs held a
meeting and considered the Barrett
and Mccall resolutions relative to the
speeches of Ambassador Bayard. The
committee decided to report the Nc
Call resolution in modified form. As
agreed on, it calls upon the President
for information as to the alleged ut
terances of Mr.. Bayard, and the COR
respondence on the subject. The res
olution is very much tanned down and
made mild in comparison to what it
was when introduced. 1t was thought
that in view of present circumstances
it would be much better to make the
resolution simply one of inquiry.

Few women realize that the skin
must be fed as well as the body; for if
not it will become dry and wrinkled
and look like old cracked leather.
To omit washing the face at night
is a great mistake; on retiring this is
really of more Importance than it is in
the morning. 1t should be bathed in
warm water and dried, gently but thor
oughly. Then take some good emolli-
ent such as English cold cream or fra
grant creme Beatrice. and rub it faith
fully with the fingers until all of it
is quite absorbed: the hands, neck and
arms should be treated in the same
manner. If these directions are care
fully followed the skin will retain its
youthful softness and the face its
plumpness of contour long after middle
age is passed.-Godey's Magazine.

Where Russia Stands.

the United States government has
been sounding Russia regarding the

REPORTS ABOUT CORBETT
His Retirement Said to Have Been Caused
by Physical and Mental Collapse.


by Physical and Mental Collapse.
New YORK, Dec. 2s.-Among sport
ing men here the report is current
that James ]. Corbett, the erstwhile
champion pugilist. has good reason
for quitting the prize ring. 1t is said
that he is physically unable to stand a
severe course of training, and that,
should he re-enter the ring, he would
be a mark for any class heavyweight.
According to a friend of Corbett,
the glib fellow is going the same
road travelled by poor Jack Dempsey.
The first to recognize the trouble is
said to have been BILLY" Brady, who
is now on his way to Australia.
Brady, it is said, knew that Corbetts
method of life was the cause OF. his
trouble, and at least a year ago
warned HIM that physical, as well as
a mental collapse, would be inevita BILE
if he did not face squarely about. Let
ters in which Corbett acknowledged
his mistakes are said to be in exist
ence. In them he promised to reform,
but If the reports of his present condi-
ton are true, he certainly has failed
to make good his promise.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 2S.-Asso-
ciate Justice Brewer, who has been
spending several weeks here for the
benefit of his daughters health, left
for Washington last night. The sud-
denness of his departure, coupled
with the fact that few days ago it
was his intention to remain here sew
eral weeks longer, strengthened the
belief that he has been offered place
on the Venezuelan boundary com
mission and that he has left for Wash

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Financial Situation.

Usual Holiday Dizziness Increased by
Financial Situation.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
The failures of the fourth quarter
and the year 1895, not yet finished.
cannot be definitely stated, but the
aggregate of deferred liabilities for
the year, while much smaller than in
1888, will vary but little from that of
1s94. The years aggregate of com
mercial liabilities will probably be
about $40, 900, 900 in manufacturing,
or 10 per cent more than last year, but
in trading about SSe, 900, 900, or 9 per
cent less than last year.
The foreign and financial messages
of the President were followed by vio-
lent reaction in the stock market last
Saturday, with grave fears of mon
etary trouble. The sudden panic
checked business in many depart
ments, and the industries cannot be
expected to show signs of improve
ment until the new year begins. Or
ders have for months been so much
smaller than they were in the sum-
mer, when production was expanding
and prices mounting rapidly, that new
causes of uncertainty have the more
influence.
Wheat and cotton were depressed
by last weeks panic and have had
little time to recover. Wheat receipts
continue enormous for the week
1904, 072 bushels, against LIE, 9Os last
year and Atlantic exports. flour in
Guided, have been 1926, 900 bushels in
four weeks of December, against
1893, $50 last year.
Failures for the week have been 322
in the United States, against $50 last
year, and forty in Canada, against
forty one last year.
