TUESDAY, JAN. q

Tn the Senate, Mr. Jones ARK, d. reported
from the Finance Committee the substitute for
the House bond bill providing for the free
coinage of silver, the coinage of the seigniorage
Etc III gave notice that he would call up the
bill tomorrow and ask the Senate to consider
il. Mr.. Morrill, vt, r., Chairman of the FL
nance Committee, notified the Senate that
the substitute presented by Mr.. Jones had been
agreed to by majority of the committee
"But it was opposed" said he, by every Re-
publican member of the committee" The bill
went on the calendar.
Mr. Vests speech proved to be an arraignment
of the Supreme Court for its decision in the in
come tax cases. He began by saying that the
Democratic party did not seek to evade re-
Eponsibility for the legislation of the last Con.
gress, Notwithstanding it had only an ostensi-
bic majority in the Senate, and he then passed
rapidly TO his subject by declaring that the
Wilson law would have afforded ample revenue
for the support of the Government bat for the
Supreme Court decision declaring the income
tex unconstitutional. "That the court should
have rendered such decision" he said " was
matter of surprise, of surprise TO every intel
ligent lawyer in the country, aud especially to
those Of us in Congress who were engaged in
formulating the legislation"
In the House. Clarence i. Allen, Representa-
tive from Utah, took his seat
calling upon the Attorney General for informa-
tion TO what steps, if any. he has taken TO
enforce the laws of the United States against
trusts, combinations and conspiracies, and what
further legislation. if any, is needed, in his
opinion, to protect the people against the same
was made by Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa. He ex-
planned that this was n substitute for a resolu-
ton introduced by Mr.. Hubbard of Missouri
asking the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT why he had not
enforced the antitrust law, which assumed a
state Of affairs concerning which the committee
had no evidence, so il bad unanimously agreed
on the substitute. The resolution was adopted
Mr.. Dingley, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, reported a resolution calling
upon The Secretary of the Treasury for infor-
NATION as to the amounts received from the
lessees of the Alaskan Seal Islands each wear
from May, 1890 and from 1865 TO 1890. and the
number of skins taken each year; also, the cost
Vt policing the Boring Sea and North Pacific

SATURDAY, JAN. IL.

In the House, for the first time during this
session, Speaker Reed counted quorum. The
occasion arose when Mr.. Wagner attempted TO
securet the adoption of an amendment TO the
rules permitting newspaper correspondents TO
have access to the Speakers lobby, the same
having been accorded them in the last Con-
gress
When the proposition was overwhelmingly
defeated, tho point of no quorum was raised.
Amid the laughter of the members, Mr.. Reed
proceeded to count all these visible and then
said zone hundred and ninety gentlemen are
in their seats-a quorum. The noes have 1t
and the am endment is lost"

FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Spanish Still Hold Havana, but the City L.
Said to- BE i'm Danger

Tho insurgent raid against the city of Ha.
vana may we'll be considered q success for the
Cuban arms. The city, of course, has not been
taken, and it is very doubtful if any of the
insurgcnt leaders expected TO capture the place
when the raid was projected. Sympathizers in
the provinces OF Havana and Pinar del Rio
have been awakened. and the outside world
has learned that the cause of liberty in
the island is not dead. A number of
skirmishes have been fought inthe vicinity
of Havana, with doubtful results, but one
thing is certain. that the Spanish have not
covered themselves with glory, or achieved
any very brilliant victories. The Cubans seem
to have in all cases made good their retreat
when the Spanish attacked them in over
wheming numbers
From Spanish authority comes the report that
in engagement with Rabi, near Jiguani
Esteban Taniayo. commanding the insurgents
Col. Jaime Masso aud four other Cuban officers
were killed. Also comes the report from the
same authority that 500 Cubans were killed in
battle in the province of Matanzas.

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Minneapolis Tribune.

Sarah Bernhardt, the celebrated actress,
4 on her reesnt appearance in. this country,
surprised every one with her youthful ap-
pearance. She is known to be 55 years of
age, and yet retains her old-time vivacity,
her eace reveals the warm tide of life that
flows through her veins, and none of her
critics are found bold enough to intimate
that age has begun to cast it's withering
ex piained her defiance to the passage of
the years as follows: 81 have my art; l
work, work, work! In work take my
Egreatest pleasure. 1t Is tonic: delicious

Gladstone, England d grand cid Is
another illustration of the saving power
of work. In his extreme age he keeps up
his mental and phyfical activity. He has
even now literary work contracted for
more than year ahead, and he has just
published the best annotated edition of
Bishop Buffers great book that has ever
appeared. Mr.. Gladstone perhaps got his
idea of the advantage of lncessant work
from his physician, Sir Andrew Clarke,
who himself died at ripe old age. At the
At the outset of his professional ca
reer Clark was given up as victim of
consumption. But he determined to
work to his uttermost and accomplish as
much as possible. The result was that he
lived long and brilliantly useful life. "If
you have but one lung" he used to say,
| "make it workw He had one other pre-
scription which may perhaps not be so
universally accepted. 1t was: "Never
eat soup!'
The president of the Republic of Me1i-
co, Port6ro Diaz, is now IS years old, but
he is described by Mexican paper as ''a
man in magnificent health, who is doing
| 10 mems work every day."
The great Napolen possessed a prodigi-
GUS capacity for unremitting work, and it
is possible that he had not been captured
and condelned to rust in idleness on des-
olate island, he would have lived to great
age. It was inaction that killed the great
warrior in comparative youth.
A writer commenting on Berhhardt's
youthful appearance, says: "Plenty of
work, plenty Of play, abundance of sleep,
no nerve stimulants-these sre the secrets
of suceeas"-as illustrated by the shining
examples We have mentioned. Healthful
and inspiring work is the true fountain OF
youth, Men approaching the sere and
yellow leaf who are contemplating an old
age of rest in retirement, would perhaps
do better to emulateD Gladstone and Diaz
aud keep at work; and thousands Of wo-
men who are dwadling on sofas and plead
ing 'snerves'' as an excuse for laziness may
profitably emulate the famous Frenchwo-
man, who, long past middle age. still
charms her audiences with her glorious
