WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-If it were not
such very serious matter for the people
the congressional situation at this time
would rouse the weeping philosopher to
sardoric laughter. The explanation is
simple, too, for, 10, these many years wo
have been trying all sorts Of experiments
in finance, and many of the widest have
proved apparent successes because the rap
i'd growth Of the country saved US from
the natural consequences of our folly.
The result has been to create a foolish
confidence in some and extreme uimidity
i'll others, with general uncertainty and
many diversities of opinion which are rep
resented in congress. In the dominant
party there are no less than nine factions,
ranging from Mr.. Sperry of Connecticut,
with his sweeping bill for retiring all gov
eminent paper money, TO Mr.. Bland; from
Hard Money Patterson to Soft Money Nc
Laurin.
Growing Favor For Silver.
The Republicans could be hilarious in
deed over the predicament of their oppo-
nents. but their own withers are by no
means unwrung. They have polled the
next congress few times, and every time
have discovered few more fellows who
are off color in fiscal science. A single in
stance shows how panicky the feeling is.
In ordinary times the fact that the Repub-
lican who is to succeed Mr.. Tracey of New
York is silver man would excite only
smile, possibly an expression of good ma
tured contempt, but the recent announce
ment Of the fact caused feeling little
like that which runs through an army

also to be my adviser as to how to fur
nish my establishment in strickly Jap

completed in less than ten minutes,
and here are some of the principal
items of which it consisted: Two fou-
tangS or thin mattresses. between
which onelies at night, and mankura,
| a wooden pillow, or rather an instru-
ment of torture for the first few nights,
furnished my bedroom: n hibachi or
brass braZier, with chopstickS to stir
the fire, and water-kettle, made the
hall coy; and little lacquer table,
a foot square and about six inches high,

General News Items.

The town of Sprague, Wash, the
county seat of Lincoln county and
the point where the Northern Pacific
car shops are located, was almost
totally destroyed by fire last Satur
day A hurricane was blowing and
the fire swept the town with resist
less fury, destroying, in two hours,
property valued at over 81 100000.
The Colima volcano at Guadalajara,
Mexico, is again active, and the in
habitants at the foot of the mountain
are fleeing for safety, as the lava is
pouring down it's sides and threatens
to completely destroy all the crops
and the houses in the rich valley be-
low. This volcano has been unusually
active during the last two months,
panied with severe seismic disturb
ances.
John M. Reynolds, assistant secre
tary of the interior, has rendered
decision that those who served in the
revenue marine on vessels which CO.
operated by direction of the presi
dent with the navy were not in the
navy or the naval establishment of
the United States, and are not pen
sionable under the act of June 81,
1890, nor their widows or minor
children. Judge Reynolds holds that
the revenue marine is civil branch
of the service, and wholly separate
and distinct from the organized gov
eminent military and naval forces.
The legal advisors of the British
government are at present exercised
over curious state of affairs just dis
covered in connection with the dura
ton of parliament in the event of the
queens death. By the act of 1896 it
it was provided that parliament should
not last more than six months after
the demise of the crown. This applied
to Scotland and Ireland after they en-
tered the United Kingdom, but the re-
form franchise act of 1867 enacted that
the demise of the crown should not
affect the duration of parliament. This
act applied only to England and Wales.
A like reform franchise act was in
1868 passed for Scotland and Ireland,
but does not contain any clause refer
ring to the demise of the crown. Hence
in the event of the queens death,
Scotland and Ireland would have an
election within six months thereafter,
unless parliament should extend the
clause of the English act of 1867 to
them. In view of the queens age
and the size of the present parliament
airy majority indicating that the house
will last for seven years, the matter
becomes of practical Importance. while
the delicacy of the subject makes it
difficult to Immediately Introduce an
act thereon.

A WHOLESALE MURDERER
Holmes certainly beats the crimi,

Holmes certainly beats the criminal
record up to date. No such monster
ever cursed the world before. 1t was
only by chance, too, that his crimes
were revealed. If the bodies of the
| two Pietzel children had not been
found buried in the cellar of the house
in Toronto, Holmes, in all probability
would now be serving time for hav-
ing cons pired to defraud an insurance
company, and the world would know
nothing of the long list of his victims.
When he pleaded guilty to the charge
of conspiracy it was commonly be-
ieved that the body by means of
which he collected the insurance on
Pietzels life was not the body of
Pietzel. Such had been the belief of
Pietzel's wife. But the discovery of
those two little bodies in the Toronto
cellar threw a food of light upon
Holmes extraordinary career, and
now it seems to be established that
he murdered not only Pietzel and his
children, but also five or six other
persons.
His murders were varied in their
object. Sometimes the purpose of
this monster was to obtain the pro-
ceeds of insurance policies upon the
lives of his victims, as in the case of
Pietzel, his associate and confederate.
Sometimes it was his aim to put out
of the way persons who might bear
witness against him or prevent him
from obtaining possession of all the
money to be collected; sometimes, as
in the case of the Williams sisters,
N urder was committed, as it now ap
pears, in order that the property of
the victims in distant state might be
stolen safely by means of forged
papers; sometimes the persons whose
lives he took had become annoying
and burdensome by means Of illicit
relations with the murderer. While
for many years Holmes had been en-
gagged in robbing insurance compa-
MES by fraud alone or by murder and
fraud, he was an accomplished
swindler in other fields, and an ex-
pert in many varieties of crime
