to make quorum has been increased from
A to 45, and though there were many
more Senators on hand than enough to
make quorum, yet there Were not enough
to make voting quorum, and the Sem
ate fluctuated, as it used to do in the silver
fight of 1893, between a voting quorum and
an actual quorum. For example, on mo-

repeated.
Just before o'clock Mr.. Jones decided to
surrender and the Wolcott resolution was
drawn and accepted by the silver men as
the best thing they could accomplish under
the circumstances. At o'clock Mr.. Jones
moved an adjournment and the motion
was carried with a rush. For some timf:
the Senate had been utterly powerless to
do anything, and was waiting for quorum
to appear under an order TO the sergeant
alarms to produce absent Senators.

THE FREE SILVER BILL
1t Will Be Withdrawn and a Declaratory
Resolution Substituted.
After n Long Fight the Advocates of
the Measure Realize That n Vote
Cannot BE Had.

The Senate remained in session until 9
O'Clock last evening without taking a vote
on the Jones silver bill, which was at that
hour practically withdrawn in the face of
the absolute certainty that vote upon 1t
could not be reached at any time before
the end of the present Congress. The two
sides were virtually playing bluff against
each other, but early in the day Mr.. Jones
had acknowledged that he would not go
so far as to jeopardize any of the appro-
priatfon bills by insisting upon his bill to
the end of the session, and this so strength
cned the hands of the gold men and the
administration forces that they were able
to hold out to the utter destruction of the
strong front put up by the silver forces
ON Monday night and yesterday morning
when the silver bill was taken up again
for consideration by nine majority.
A Declaratory Resolution.
In place Of the silver bill Mr. Wolcott
presented declaratory resolution In favor
of silver, which was laid over until today.
1t is follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Sem
ate that the welfare and prosperity of
the United States require the enactment
Of law for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 10 to ].
Resolved, That in view OF the fact that
this Congress will expire by law on the
4th Oh March, ana That there are important
appropriation bills requiring the attention
of the Senate, it is the sense of the Senate
that consideration of such a law be not
entered upon at this session of Congress.
A Strong FiIibuster.
Mr.. Villas, who took the floor shortly after
2 o'clock yesterday, spoke for upwards Of
four hours. and was succeeded by Mr.
Plat. who talked with many Interrupt
tons until $50, when Mr. Quay called for
a quorum, and thenceforth there was a
fierce struggle between the two forces,
marked by strong filbuster by the gold
men. The number Of Senators necessary

An Interesting English Election.

An election was held yesterday at Col
chester, England. to fill the vacancy in the
house of commons caused by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Naylor-Leyland. 1t resulted in
q victory for the liberal candidate, Sir
Weetman Person, who was defeated at the
last general election, with Naylor-Leyland
as his opponent, by majority of sixty
one. The conservative candidate was Capt.
Vereker who was strongly supported by
the Irish unionist alliance.
Great interest was taken in the contest
by politicians throughout the country. and
a number of well-known speakers took
part in the campaign. The vote was: Per-
son. 9 SO: Vereker 2296. At the last gen.
eral election the result was: Naylor-Ley-
land, 2, 173; Person, Pip.

followed this paper, but nobody disputed
the theory which DR.. Gill had expounded.
Theory of Evolution.
Prof. Powell defended DIR. Gill from a
possible intimation that he was not be-
lever in the doctrine Of evolution, because
he did not accept without evidence many
of the arguments brought forth in behalf
of evolution. A great deal which. was in
tended to strengthen the theory of evolu-
ton was rot, which tended to damage the
doctrine and furnish weapons to the anti
evolutionist. In that part of the alleged
discovery wherein it was attempted to in
dictate the age of the remains by the geo.
logic period, Prof. Powell stated that they
had been found in volcanic deposits, and
so far as he and many Of his geological
friends knew, no geological age could be
defined in this formation.
About Vaccination.
The second paper was that on the Sense
Of Touch by Mr.. John Hitz. He treated
his subject ably. "A Plea for Vaccina-
ton" was the third paper, by DR.. George
NJ Kober. He told the history Of the
theory Of incubation, and he showed by
statistics, which it seemed impossible to
cCntrovert, that cowpox eXerted wonder
fully protective influence against small
pox In those countries where vaccination
was compulsory smallpox registered its
lowest percentage. Countries in which the
percentage had been high had reduced it
by vaccination. 1t was not founded on a
popular error. Caution should be exer-
cised by competent physicians in the selec
ton of the lymph, though it had been
demonstrated that tuberculosis was not
transferred with the vaccine. Vaccination,
he proved to the satisfaction of the sci
entists present, secured immunity from
the pest. The population Of the United
States was not properly protected by vac
cination.

A Reply to Mrs. Besunt.
The lecture was brought out originally
as reply to one by Mrs. Annie Besa1t eX-
tolling HndOoism, which she has dcliv-
cred in England and this country in the
propaganda of Buddhism. in which she Is
ably assisted by Mr.. Vivekaranda, ma
tive Buddhist. These urge that civilized
ChrsteudOm should accept Buddhism as
belief on an equality with Christianity. DR..
I.ur rs first point was that all poiytheisuS
tend irevitabey to deEeuGrate.The religions
of Greece and Rome support his PROPOSE
ton. Although Buddhism originated II q

religion it has ceased to be a power in the
spiritual life of India. To prove this, DR..
Lunn told of prominent Brahmirs who
had told him they did not understand the
prayers they recited in their religious OBJ
servances. Many actual phases Of life and
thought in India were rapidly and graphi-
cally described to support the speakers
views on this degradation OF the doctrines
of buddhism, and then lie passed on from
phloscphic Hindoosm to consider his sec
end point, that as a popular belief the
pantheon of Buddhism at the present day
was the apotheosis Of all that was vilest
in the race.
Its temple worship makes use of the
most obscene rites.

Jts shrines are themselves embellshed
with carvings and pictures of the human
figure of such disgraceful character
that ii was necessary to pass an act of
parliament to protect them, or they would
otherwise have come under the ban Of the
law. Dr. Lunn said that connected with
every great temple in India was band OF
dancing girls, who were kept as the COM
mon property of the Brahmins, and as
much a part of each temple as choir
would be in this country. Several state
ments made by Mr.. Vivekananda We're re-

contained nowhere an unchaste heroine

effect of all this on public morality, Dr.
Iunn said, could only be bad. The sane
tity of woman in the home was an idea al
most unappreciated in Hindooland. There
were, he said, 20.OOOOOO widows in India
more than the whole number OF adult Wo-
r,en in America-who were wholly eXclud-
ed from the brighter side of home life, the
victims of impurity and degradation. The
contrast between Hindooism and Chris
tianity was drawn boldly and convincing
". and the influence of the latter on home,
marriage, the sanctity of child life, and
the conditions of daily toll. d. Lunn
brought home to his hearers their abiding
duty to remember those of their race who
were beyond the borderland of ChriSten-
dom and shut out from the sunlight of
better civilization.

coming hard and brittle. At the end Of
two weeks half the leaf may be brown
and withered, while the rest is of a pale
yellow color. Finally all the leaves sue
cumb, and the tubers stop growth and
are practically worthless.
Potato scab is too familiar to require
description here.
For blight and the macrOspOrium dis
ease nothing SO effective as the bordeaux
mixture has been found. For the treat,
ment of potato scab a solution Of cOrro-
sive sublimate has given best results, and
for the macrosporium disease apply the
bordeaux mixture, beginning when the
plants are about six inches high, and
continuing at intervals Of 10 Or IA days,
until five or six applications in all have
been made. If the season is rainy make
the treatments every ten days, the object
covered with the fungicide. By adding
four ounces of paris green to each barrel
of the bordeaux mixture the treatment
will not only prevent the diseases under
consideration, but keep in check the
Colorado potato beetle and other insects
as we'll. Before adding the paris green
to the bordeaux mixture the former
should be made into thin paste by mix
ing with small quantity of water.
The success of this work depends in
large measure upon the thoroughness
with which the fungicides are applied.

Insect Pests and Plant Disease.

It is reported from the New York sta
tion that paris green and kerosene emul-
sion still remain the leading insecticides,
and that bordeaux mixture is the best
remedy for plant diseases. Other conclu-
sions arrived at are that the knapsack
sprayer is generally useful, though extern
sive growers need machine of greater
capacity. The suction pipe should al
ways enter the tank at the top, and the
pump should be made of brass or be
brass lined. Hand pumps should allow
the weight of the body to be used on the
handle while at work. VermOrel nOzzles
give better spray than the disk ma
chimes.
For spraying potatoes and tomatoes a
nozzle is needed which can be lowered
between the rows and directed so as to
force the spray up through the vines.
The agitator is needed to keep the poi
sons in solution The best forms work up
and down in an upright tank, like the
dash in the old churn. Where the pump
piston has packing, this should be of
ten renewed. For killing cabbage worms
and insects, no liquid has been found
equal to dry paris green applied with a
hand sitter. Powder guns are useful for
applying dry powdered poisons, pyreth-
rum, tobacco dust and sulphur.
