THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
The Senate, After Wasting Two Months
May Get Down to business.

WASHINGTON. Feb 9.-Although the present
Congress hns been In session for more than two
months without the customary holiday recess,
the Senate will only this week get down to the
actual business of the session and begin the con-
sderation Of the appropriation bills. MIR. Hans
brough's seed resolution is the unfinished busi-
ness, and he expects to have a vote upon 1t with
in a few days. although the understanding is
that 1t is to be laid aside temporarily whenever
appropriation bills are ready to be considered.
Mr.. Quay's amended resolution to recommit
the Tariff bill to the Senate Committee on
Finance without instructions, which WAS laid
over until tomorrow, will come up early. Mr..
Quay says that while the vote will be close. he
believes 1t has an even chance OF passing. Tho
Populists, however, at their recent conference
decided to vote against recommitment, and II
they do so. together with tho entire Democratic
vote. the resolution will not prevail.
Mr.. Smith of New Jersey will address the
Senate tomorrow on the Monroe resolutions
now pending. 1t is believed that he will take
ground between the ultra-conservatism Of his
colleague. Mr.. Sewell. and the radicalism OF Mr..
Davis of Minnesota. The fact that Mr.. Smith
has onferred with the President on this sub
ject. and that his speech TO q certain extent IL
tive. viii give it interest Mr. Blanchard OF
Louisiana will also speak on the same subject
The effort to change the elective officers of
the Senate may be made during the latter part
of the week. but there Is more or less OF conjec-
ture about this. Meanwhile there Is abundant
work before the Senate In the shape of appro-
priation bills. those having been reported 70 the
Senate being the Urgent Deficiency. Military
Academy. Pensions. and the Consular and Dip
lnmatic bills In none of these have many ad-
dt:ons been made, save in the rgent Dctici-
cncy bill, to which. AT the request OF the Treas.
ury Department. large amount for unprovided
for cxpenseso of the Department OF Justice has
beer inserted.
The House will further discuss the bond-silver
coinage bill until - O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Notice has been given that II large number OF
amendments will be offered. and II II not GER
tain when final vote on tho Senate FREQ coin
nre substitute will be reached. II is hoped that
1t may be had on "Wednesday. The silver advo-
Gates conccdc that the Republican vote in favor
of the substitute will not he MS large as was that
given against tho passage of the Bond bill last
IIecem ber. II is vnriously estimated by them Mt
from - 10 40. After the financial matter has
been disposed of. appropriation bills will a2aln

Garcia was tho most ardent of its instigators.
Nightly he would join n band of conspirators

had to elude tho vigilance of Spanish spies

were aware of the prevailing discomfort. How

tho dock just now only on corn. This
- q very ILL balanced ration for any
growing animal, whether 1t is born
into the world or not. The rules for
feeding young animals insist-and In
dispensably-upon fully twice as much
protein for them as for full grown
ones. AS q matter of course, II we
are to feed the eve or the lamb, we
must feed as for the lamb itself. Then
the foods given to the eve must 90
rich In protein, such as bran or lin
seed oil meal. There Is no more valu-l
able food for sheep, especially for
the ir-lamb-ewes, than the latter. The
former Is a good feed, but the latter
greatly excels It on account Of the oil
1t contains, and which has such ex-
cellent effect on the ewes in keeping
them In that mildly laxative conEition
which is desirable for all pregnant
animals. Thus it will be very great
help to the lambs to give the ewes
now, and while they are rearing their
lambs. two to four ounces of linseed
oil daily. And besides the good effects
that have been mentioned, it may be
added that 1t is excellent for the
growth Of the fleece, another highly
heterogeneous product, which must be
supplied by the food or Its full growth
cannot be made. The rule in feeding
is that first, the product is to he sup
piled. and then the necessities Of the
animal, for the former will always
come first In all good animals.

Edison's vitascope was exhibited fol
the first time at Roster & BiaHs last
night, and was received with great ap.
plause. 1t is a development of the
alinetoscope, the pictures being colored
and thrown on white screen on the
stage. Several views were shown, the
best being the surf, an umbrella dance,
serpentine dance and scene from a
recent farce comedy. The most sue.
cessful of all was the surf scene. 1t
represents long pier extending out
into the ocean, with the waves beating
against it and dashing on the sand. In
the distance the breakers, covered with
white caps, came rolling in toward the
land; as they near the shore the mass
of green water rises high, combs with
sparkling green and white, and pounds
upon the shingle; the white foam and
spray fly into the air, the water rushes
up the beach to recede and meet the
next wave, while one instinctively list.

The Snake Redeems Himself.

The Snake Redeems Himself.
One of the attaches Of the United
States geological survey tells a Won
derful snake story, and he claims it is
true. So does his wife. who was one
Of the parties to it. Both are favor
ably known in this city, but as there is
much doubt expressed about their
story, they prefer that their names
shall not be given for the present. Ac-
cording to the gentleman, while in the
Far West in the early part of last sum-
mer, he ran across a rattlesnake. The
snake was apparently in great agony.
and, upon examination, it was found
that thorn was sticking through it.
The gentleman was an expert in hand
ling snakes, and he had no difficulty in
pulling out the thorn, much to the re-
lief of the RATHER. Three months
later he visited the same place, and
near the same spot found the same
snake. He packed it up in box and
decided to bring it to Washington. A
few nights afterward the gentleman
and his wife arrived in promising
western town and took quarters at
hotel. During the night q thief en-
tered the room, and would have got
away with considerable plumber had
not the snake. in his gratitude for
kindness shown him, stuck his tail
out of the window and gave rattle
which attracted the attention of the
police.-Washington Star.

Bloat or Hoxen.


As the clover is good thiss year we
may expect lot of bloat in cattle
pastured upon it. Remember that it is
dangerous to pasture green, sappy
clover when it is wet. 1t is fairly
safe to turn in when it is dry, especial
~ IL It is dry weather and the clover
is little wilted. If cattle are fed
some dry feed-a few ears of corn,
some hay or strawberry morning
while running on clover, the danger
is not SO great.
There are some remedies that IL
taken in time will cure. The simplest
and best is to catch the animal, force
its mouth wide open and keep it
forced open. This may be done by
using round billet of wood, say
three inches in diameter, tied at each
end and used in the mouth the same
as bride bit in horses mouth. The
animal will work the jaws and tongue
and soon begin to belch, then tho
danger is over. We have used in con.
nection with the stick of wood q
drench Of soda, but this is not neces-
sary. Benton Gabbert, Of Dearborn,
says he has seen hundreds cured by
the stick Of wood in the mouth, and
never knew it to fail. So It isn't neces-
sary to use the trochar and cannula.-
