VIII Not BE Indicted.

The Carson Appeal says it can state
positively to the public that Coffin
will not be held in contempt by the
u. S. Court. He will not be indicted
by the Grand Jury and he will not BE
proceeded against on information.
In other words, the law that sent
Brule to three months Imprisonment
for packing money to Langevin, is
not strong enough to send the man
who furnished the coin.
The reason for this will be fully ex-
planned to the public by tile Appeal
later on. We believe the public are
entitled to know the facts in the case
and we should use our best endeavors
to obtain them.
The INDEPENDENT hopes the appeal
will do it's utmost to place the reasons
for this action Of the United States
Court before the public. 1t looks
strange to a common citizen that the
law can he violated with IMMUNITY by
man with II "pull" while Il poor devil
who does his dirty work is sent to
jail. 1t must be that Coffin has the
"dead wood" on somebody in author.
. ity. Such reports have reached Elko
and those who are familiar with a lit.
tie transaction, in which two young
men III the western part of the State
figured few years ago, have but Lit.
tie reason to doubt where the trouble
lies. However, we will wait and see
what the Appeal is able to dig up.

Congressional

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.--Gallinger.
of New Hampshire, Chairman OF the
Committee on Pensions, rose to a
question of personal privilege, when
the Senate assembled to day, and in
vigorous language denounced the pub
LEGATION in the New York Sun, pur
porting to report the action of the
Senate in passing number OF private
pension bills last Tuesday. 1t has
been asserted that all records had
been broken by the SENATE Mill. !"
one hundred and twenty bills being
passed in an hour with little or no
consideration, few members being
present, etc.
Gallinger declared this was tissue
of misrepresentation, sixty -seven bills
were passed IN two and three quarters
of an hour, and the total increase was
S12,O73 year. The Senator was very
caustic concerning the violation of
journalistic privileges.
Hoar of Massachusetts said each
pension bill passed the inspection of
the Senate and House Committees,
greater in number than the member.
ship of the Supreme Court or Court
Of Appeals.
Hawley said it was impossible for
newspapers to avoid being led into
occasional errors. He fully upheld the
facts stated by the Chairman of the
Pension Committee. but added there
was quite a prevalent feeling against
large pension expenditure.
The bill was passed. granting the
widow of the late General Gresham d
pension of 500 month.
There was some discussion over the
Lodge resolution directing the FL
nance Committee to inquire into the
circumstances of the bond issue of
1894 90, Hill opposing the resolution.
At = o'clock the bond resolution was
set aside and the Cuban question talk
en- up, Morgan resuming his speech
in support OF the resolution to recOg
nizc the Cunans as belligerents.
HOUSE.
The House to-day resumed the con-
sideration Of the Indian appropriation
bill. Flynn offered an amendment to
pay $4,000, annuity due the Sem
inoles. to the Indians themselves
through officers designated by the In.
terror Department. and it was adopt
ed. Flynn alleged that under the
present plan, the money went to Gov
ernor Brown and the Indians receiv.
ed due bills at Browns stores.

FRESH EGGS FROM CHINA.

They Are Ducks' Eggs With Red
YOlks md Come Coated With Mud.
F1om the Chicago Times-Hernld.
Fresh eggs from China" is a conspicu-
GUS sign posted in the windows Of the Chi
nese stores and restaurants on Clark street
But the announcement is in Chinese char
acters. The eggs are a delicacy that come
to Chicago every fall from China. The ex-
aminers room in the custom house has for
the last two weeks been strewn with the
square paper-covered boxes, wrapped with
bamboo splits, which hold the consign-
ments Of fruits. vegetables and groceries
for the Chinese Of Chicago and the central
west. Not the least among the things i'm
ported are the duck eggs. At least 10000
Of them have passed through the custom
house the last two weeks. Each egg Is
wrapped in a mass of black mud, that re-
tains its puttylike consistency for months.
evea when exposed to the air. They come
that Is. ten. Everything that comes from
China is purchased by tens. The eggs thus
keep absolutely fresh. Peeling the mud
coating from them, the faint blue tint Of
the shell is disclosed. The only difference
between the eggs of an American duck
and Chinese fowl, and an unfailing mark
that keeps the dealer from practicing a de-
ception. is that the yolk. instead of being
yellow, has color of an American beauty
rose.
Another big importation is rice prepared
as gelatinous, thread-like substance,
hich looks most palatable. The canned
goods include vegetables. mainly beans and
cabbage. But the Chinese dote on salted
foods and most Of the cabbages come shred
ded and salted, together with beans and
mushrooms, and a sea moss that resembles
black wool. Shark fms and oysters are
dried and salted, and salted plums are a
delicacy. Lichee nuts are canned in a thick
sirup, and others. dried in the h,ssk, are
packed In baskets. The nut Is not unlike
the date in flavor.

From The New York Journal
Miiady's bath room has grown to be in
its luxurious perfection a triumph of arlis-

is employed for special designs, and there
is no limit to the decorations. Besides the
regular tub, which is as beautiful as
ornamental porcelain and silver can make
it, there is sitz bath tub with spray and
wave attac chment, and other apparatus TO
suit the taste and convenience of the
owner. In some instances the room is
lighted by skylight windows of stained

and goddeSses. In many the beautiful
