WASHINGTON, D. c.. March IA
Senator Cannon has received a resolu-
ton from the chamber OF commerce of
Ogden declaring that his vote against
the tariff bill in the senate meets with
their hearty approval, and that while
they favor protection, they agreed with
him that protection and silver should
be linked together, and they are op-
posed to protection in one section of the
country TO the exclusion of the other.
The senators who took the position
of opposition to the tariff in the inter-
ests of silver are getting large numbers
of letters from the extreme silver sec
tions which they represent approving
of their course and indicating that the
silver states are willing to sacrifice
everything to this particular interest.
a postofice was today established at
Swan Lake. Bannock county, Idaho.
Floyd F. White was appointed post
master.

CINCINNATI, March 1.-THE Com
mercial Gazette special from Frankfort,
KY, says:
Governor Bradley this evening issued
his first official order, commanding the
sheriff of this county to preserve or
der in the capitol building, and if
necessary, to enter the joint assembly
at the request of the president. The
order commands the sheriff hereafter to
clear the rotunda and keep persons out
of it, and out of the cloak rooms of
the senate and the house while the
joint assembly is in session, except
Senator Blackburn, members of the
assembly and constitutional officers. 1t
also orders the Sheriff to not let any
persons enter either house except mem
bers and such other persons as the
president of the senate and the speaker
of the house may indicate.
A resolution introduced in the SEN
ate today to allow only members and
constitutional officers on the floor will
be adopted on Monday AS the rules
of the senate are the rules of the joint
assembly, this would exclude James
and Walton, the expelled members,
from the floor. This seems likely to
cause trouble on Monday.
Governor Bradley says he will not
call an extra session.
The house passed the necessary finan-
cial measures some time ago, and the
senate has failed to pass them. The
governor says he will leave the re
sponsibflity with the senate if it does
not pass them.

continued: THE declaration of loyalty

discretion is necessary. But something
startling is bound to happen within the

the United States in case of need can
put 9467'694 men in the field.
AZ the close Of the year 1895 every

UNIONS LOGIC.
REPLIES TO THE PROPOSITION TO
FIGHT 4 DUEL.
Not an Enemy to the Church, But
UnaIterabIy Opposed to Govern
ment appropriations to Assist
Sectarian Work of Any Kind.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Repre-
sentative Linton, of Michigan, the A.
P. A leader of the house received
some days ago letter from Captain
Thomas Phelan of Kansas City, the
we'll known Irish agitator, challenging
him to fight duel at Bladensburg, the
challenge being preceded by a long de-
nunciation of Unions course in oppos-
ing church school appropriations and
the placing of the statue of Father
Marquette in the capitol. Linton paid
no attention to the communication.
Mr.. Linton was asked today if he
had made any reply to the challenge.
He said:
Ever since the house defeated the
appropriations for sectarian institu-
tions in she District of Columbia bill,
partly through my efforts, my mail has
been loaded every day with great num-
bers of letters from religious cranks de-
nouncing me violently, threatening dire
vengeance and death in various forms.
All of these letters l have thrown in
the waste basket. There have been
so many there was not time to read
them all. and 1 have paid no attention
to any of them. This letter from Phe-
Ian was one of them and I suppose
went INTO Inc waste basket WITH the
others. 1 had forgotten the letter nor
did 7 think who Phelan was until the
letter and a sketch of his career was
printed in the papers. Since publicity
has been given to ii, / may conclude
to make some reply. Not so much to
Phelan as to the fanatic spirit which
he represents. OF course fighting duels
is not in my line That sort of per-
Torrance is considered rather ridicu-
lous by Americans of this generation.
The threats which 1 have received from
cranks have not alarmed me in the
least and I would have preferred that
no publicity be given to them.
Il am not an enemy to the church.
but 1 am unalterably opposed to gov
eminent appropriations to assist sec
tartan work and TO any sor- of union
of church and state and shall continue
to oppose them"
CAPTAIN Phelan is represented as
celebrated broadswordsman and Fe-
nian. A few years ago he was stab
bed in a row in O'Donovan Rossa's Of
flee in New York.

Advises Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Secretary
Lamont has written a letter to Senator
1Iawley, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on military affairs, advising
against the revival of the rank of lieu
tenant-general in the army at the pres
ent time. The letter was called out by
sending to the secretary the bill reviv-
ing this grade in General Miles inter
est and asking his opinion upon it as
is customary in matters pertaining to
the department. Without making any
direct reference to General Miles, the
secretary says that he does not see any
reason for any such legislation at this
time. He also gives it as his opinion
that the passage of the bill would be
opposed to the best interests of the
army.

They Are Tried Upon Diphtheria and
Other BaciIIi.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE wire
archaeological department of the
health board is today experimenting
with the X rays and bacteria. These
experiments are being made by Drs.
Hoffman, Biggs and a. W. Bebe. The
first experiment was made today and
was fairly successful. The Y ray was
tried first upon the bacilli of Iiph-
posed to the ray for a half hour. Then
the baciln were returned to the in
cubator for the night for the purpose
of observing the effect. This morning
when DR.. Bebe examined the cultures
which had been exposed, he found that
they had grown during the night.
The object of the test was to see if
the rays would not kill the germs of
disease. 1t was reasoned by the doc
tors that inasmuch as .bacilli were
sensible TO light, the more powerful Y
rays might kill the disease germs. If
the baciln had not grown during the
night the experiment would have been
considered successful DR. Bebe will
make microscopic examination to see
what significant changes in the bacilli
have occurred, if any. A further ex-
pertinent was made in the same line
with the diphtheria bacilli. dried. Dry
ing does not kill the germs. The eff
feet in sunlight, diffused daylight and
in the dark will be noted with the next
experiment. The effect of exposure to
rays for various lengths of time will

BALTIMORE, March Alt is gener-
ally believed here that a fight of con-
siderable proportions and no little acri-
mony is pending between the local Sc
curity holders and the New York syn
dictate which has assumed charge of
the reorganization of the Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad company. The only sur
face indications thus far manifested
is the formation of a local committee
which has issued a circular declaring
the cause of is existence to be the
protection of Baltimore interests in the
pending reorganization. This commit
tee includes some of the leading finan-
ciers of the city and it is known to
represent the Johns Hopkins unLver-
sity and Miss Mary Garrett, and con-
trolls about s4O,OOO,OOO, which is about
one-half of the net bonded debt of the
