Washington Special.

The Congress seems to average up rather
a high grade of plain, matter-of-fact men,
most of them young, and many with an
appearance which gives promise Of their
being able In time to creditably NIL the
places of some of the best who have
dropped out of public life. Some of the
brightest appearing of the very young men
are unfortunate enough to bring with them
the reputation for oratory. This may spoil
some of the most promising. Every Con-
gress has witnessed the ruin of young men
who are ambitious to make a display or
lung logic and lexicon learning. A full
voice and familiarity with words, without
reasoning power or experience, is most
dangerous gift for young men In Congress:
There are two from New York and half
q dozen or so scattered through the other
delegations on whom the eye rests with
anxiety: but they are blessed In having a
man like Reed to deal with. Catching his
eye between the necessary preliminary to
an grafton, they may be saved by the alb
sence of opportunity. 1t is said that young
Suffer- the brilliant young Henry Clay OF
New York, announced to his colleagues
that he intended to be reserved and make
but two speeches, one on finance and one
on Cuba and the Monroe doctrine. He was
asked by Amos Cummings IL he had Sc
cured assurance that he would be placed
on both the banking and currency and
the foreign affairs committees, for II ne
had not he could not hope ever to get more
than five minutes time for his Grafton.
1t was a great surprise to the young ora
tor that q member could not at any time
get recognition for an hour In his own
right to talk on any subject.

In concluding. Mr.. Morgan again returned
to his assault on the British ambassador for
his rough criticism OF himself, of which, he
said, he was perhaps "urbecomingly care
less" but I do feel resentful," he said,
that instead of furnishing his complaints
to the President he gave them out TO the
American press at the opening of Congress
with view of dispelling the misapprehen-
sion in the American public mind. 1t seems,
however, he added in his most sarcastic

LATED BY KING MENELIK.
The Invading Army Surprised and
Surrounded by 10000 Native War
riors, According to Official Reports.

ROME, Dec. 9.-News was received here
to-day from General Baratierl, the COM
mander of the Italian troops in Abyssinia,
announcing what appears to be a serious
disaster to the Italian forces operating
against King Menelik. He cabled that the
Kings army, numbering about 10000 men.
surprised and surrounded yesterday five
companies of Italian troops under Major
Toselli at Ambalagi. Another body of
Italian troops, under command of General
Arimondi. advanced to the support of Maj.
Toselli, but they were stopped by the
envy. A severe battle was subsequently
fought, and the result was not made
that the losses of the Abyssnians were
corning the fate of Major Tosellfs COM
mand, and nothing was said about the
losses of the Italians.
Later in the day. in the Chamber of Dep
uties, the government was questioned re-
garding the reported disaster which the
Italian troops had suffered in Abyssinia,
and the matter led to warm attack on
the governments policy in Africa. Reply
ing to a question as 70 the particulars of
the battle of Ambalagi, the Minister of
war, General MOCennl, Tedu the ulSpdtcI
from General Baratieri, the substance of
which is given above, and added that the
Italian positions were secure. He admitted.
however, that the incident was serious

1,2O0 native troops, commanded by twenty

COBLENTZ
Tells Why One Should Take Oxygen To.
baCCo Cure-Ons Cannot Quit the
Use OF Tobacco AlOne-An Arti-
fetal Aid Must Be Called
to His Assistance.

OF all the remedies .that have been in
vented in the last few years for the cure
of the tobacco habit, none have been so
successful as the Oxygen Tobacco Cure. II
has even surpassed the expectations of its
discoveries and promises to be the great
cure to which all will turn to get rid Of
one Of the filthiest habits that ever char
acterized any nation.
No one who uses tobacco will deny that
II is an offensive habit, and the most OF
those who indulge in 1T say that they
would like to quit ii. But 1t has gotten
such a hold upon the American people; 1t
has become such part OF their constitu-
lions that the ability TO give ii up from
mere will power is almost useless. One
must bring something else to his aid. He
might as we'll say that he would give up
drinking or eating as TO say that he would
quit chewing from the mere force OF will
1t is next to an impossibiiity and only the
strongest minded can accomplish it,
But IL one really wants to quit the use OF
tobacco he should take the best remedy
and take 1t right away. He must not de-
lay. Now, IL has already been acknowl-
edged that the Oxygen Tobacco Cure is the
GREAT remedy TO help one give up the use
of tobacco 1t has already been tried by
thousands and in every case has effected a
quick and certain cure. The testimonials
of those who have used 1t will confirm this
statement. 1t is cheap and pleasant to
take, and every one who wants TO free
himself of the expensive tobacco habit
should give ii a trial.
OF course. If one does not want to be
rid of the tobacco habit. the medicine sig
nifes nothing TO him. But 1T is habit that
no one can afford to indulge. 1t is not only
expensive and repulsive, but 1t is detri-
mental to the body. 1t undermines the
constitution. engenders a feeble state OF
health and renders the physical organism
more vulnerable to disease. In thousand
ways it is a silent destroyer, sapping
away the vitality and hurrying it's victim
to an untimely death. Words alone cannot
describe it's horrors.

ROTTEN ADMINISTRATION.
Demonstration Against Abuses of the
Madrid Municipal Authorities.

MADRID, Dec. "a gigantic demonstra-
ton took place here to-day against the
abuses of the municipal administration of
Madrid. The gathering took place on the
Plaza del Tororo All the shops were closed
and the infantry and cavafry of the gar
rison were held in readiness for action. But
there were disturbances. Ex-Premier
Sagasta. the Marquis Di Vega, the LIBERAL.
Carlist and Republican Senators and Depu-
ties and numbers of politicians, mobiles, &C.
clesiastics and merchants were present.
The meeting to-day was the indirect out
come of an assault recently made on the
Marquis De Cabar:ana, son of General Ur-
bina, young Conservative nobleman, IA
nous one of the best horsemen. swords
men and cyclists In Spain. At IL o'clock,
Tuesday, Nov. 10, two roughs fired several
pistol shots at the young Marquis while
the latter was passing through a street
close to the Royal Museum of Paintings.
This attack was due to the fact that the
Marquis had made himself conspicuous re-
Gently by his courageous attacks on the
notorious abuses of the municipal admins
tration OF Madrid Members Of the munic-
ipal council who were particularly pointed
out by the Marquis prosecuted him for IL
bel, whereupon the young reformer pub
lished In the newspapers OF Madrid six long
letters charging the municipality with GER
tain acts, detailing certain contracts and
naming many witnesses and persons who
were competent to testify TO the truth of
his charges. The publication of these let
ters caused a tremendous sensation, and
the newspapers of all shades of opinion
called on the courts of justice to intervene
in the matter. Eventually a petition in
strong words was addressed to the Mayor
Count Penalver, by eighteen of the munic-
ipal councillors asking for an extraordi-
nary and secret session OF the municipal
council. AT that meeting the councillors ac-
cused by the Marquis DE Cabriana were to
be called on to furnish explanations. In
spite of the efforts of the authorities the
assailants of the Marquis succeeded In
escaping. although they were pursued by
watchmen and by the Marquis himself. who
fired three shots at them. Later, when an
attempt upon his life was investigated, the
Marquis informed the magistrates that he
had already handed to the public prosecu-
tor a number of threatening anonymous
letters which he had received, and he de-
clared he had been frequently followed at
night by roughs armed with sticks. who
had hesitation in telling his neighbors
the object for which they had been engaged
to follow him.
