Several Of the POpulists who voted
no did so because their counties have
local bills which make the salaries Of
the officers In their counties less than
those provided for In this bill.
The House amendments to several
appropriation bills were concurred In,
except in regard to the Orphans Home
bill. This bill goes to a conference
committee which, on the part Of the
Senate, is composed Of Senators Titus
and FOrney.
In the afternoon some time was
spent in agreeing to conference COM
mittee reports and House amendments
to Senate bills. A conference commit
tee which, on the part Of the Senate,
consisted of Senators Cooke and Hes
sin was named to confer In regard to
amendments to the Girls Industrial
School appropriation bill. Bills on
third reading were then taken up.
House bill ZIG, making appropriation
for improvements at the Agricultural
College; Senate bill 259, prohibiting the
publication of insurance rate books to
effect a combination on rates; Senate
bill 243, compelling life insurance COM
psnies to invest q portion Of their
funds In the State; Senate bill 42l, the
amended ballot law; Senate bill 588, an
appropriation for small improvements
in the State House and for repairs,
were all passed.
The following protest, which is self
explanatory, was fled:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-We, the undersigned Sena-
tors, beg leave to file this, our protest, against
the action Of this Senate in passing Senate
bill No. 524 We voted for this bill when IL
first passed the Senate, hoping and believing
that the House would amend it by inserting
maximum schedule but this the House did
not do, and now we protest against the bill.
First-Because 1t is not the measure we
promised the people.
Second-Because we fear and believe IL will
mot give the people the relief they demand
and are entitled to.
Third-Because we believe it Is but very
little, il any, better than the law now on the
statute books.
While these are our opinions of this bill, yet,
feeling that we have done all we could to re-
deem our pledges and keep faith with the
people, and inspired by the hope that our
worst fears may not be realized, and that some
good possibly may, result from the passage Of
this measure, we are constrained to vote aye.

General Rivera'S Case,

Secretary Sherman is protesting
against the execution of General
Ruiz Rivera, the Cuban leader, re-
Gently captured by the Spanish.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Sherman discussed the case and
the latter, at the presidents sugges-
ton communicated with Senior De
LONE, the Spanish minister, giving
him to understand that the execu-
ton of Rivera would raise such in
dignation throughout the United
States as to embarass the govern
ment.
Senior De Lone communicated
the substance of this informal pro-
test to his government and there
are reasons for believing that the
Spanish authorities will cable orders
to Havana which will save Rivera
life.
1t is not believed that Gen. Rivera
will be shot. An order is said to
have come from Madrid to spare
his life. This is not promoted from
motives of humanity, but to make
good impression upon the United
States and other nations. Gen.
Weyler is furious, it is reported,
and may be the cause of the order
being withdrawn, in which case
Gen. Rivera would be put to death.

A late special from Washington

this interesting gossip:
They are after Mark Hanna in connec

to succeed Fred T. Dubois of Idaho III

pears to be very hot, and unless Senator
Hanna is strong enough to smother an
investigation by the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections there are likely
to be some very interesting developments
The Committee ON Privileges and Elec
tons has received from Attorney L. Vine.
yard Of Boise City, Idaho, representing
twenty eight of the seventy members OF
the Idaho Legislature, a statement of spec
ifications in support of charges against
the right of Henry Heitfeld to a seat.
Open charges of bribery are made. 1t is
openly asserted that Hanna's money was
sent into Idaho to defeat Senator Dubois
and elect Populist "who would vote in
favor of the tariff policy of the incoming
administrator" Direct charges are made
that certain members of the Legislature
three in number, received pay for their
votes for Heitfeld, and the sum that they
are alleged to have received is named.

The proposed return to Cuba of
General Sanguilly as successor to
General Rivera raises a new and
interesting question. A few weeks
ago this officer was in prison at Ha-
vana. His release was demanded
and obtained by the United States
on the ground that he was an Amer
lean citizen, against whom nothing
had been proved. If he now turns
up as Cuban leader, the RESPONSE
bility for any damage he may do
will be charged by Spain against the
United States, which alone made it
possible for him to take the field,
though whether such a claim could
be upheld in law remains to be seen.
1t is certainly a peculiar hardship
to the Spaniards to be compelled to
give up prisoner on the ground
that he is not a militant Cuban but
an innocent foreigner, and then to
find him, shortly afterward, in the
guise of an active and dangerous
Cuban enemy.

That History Again.

At the last Grand Army encamp-
ment committee was appointed
to secure revision in American
school histories. The other day
the chairman of this committee
Judge A. o. Marsh, of Winchester,
Ind, and Professor ]. B. McMaster,
of the University of Pennsylvania,
met in conference in Chicago. AT
thatconference Professor Nc Master,
who is preparing a school history,
submitted his manuscript for in
spection to Judge Marsh and DR..
D. c. Millner, of Chicago, who
constitute a subcommittee empow-
cred to examine the work and re-
port whether it is what the Grand
Army wants for the pupils of the
country. The special committee
has examined all the school histories
now in the public schools, and all
are condemned as exaggerating the
qualities of the confederate leaders.
In explaining the scope of his
work, Professor McMaster said :
"In this history the great southern
generals in the civil war are not
condoned. | admit all the good
things that are said of General Lee
personally, but he must be regarded
as one who sought to disrupt the
government. No matter how great
his generalship and hesoism, they
should not blind the historian"
1t is a presumption on the part of
the G. A. r. toattempt to dictate as
to what account should be given in
a school history of the causes that
led TO the civil war, and the esti-
mate that should be placed on the
qualities of the confederate leaders.
They have no more right to dictate
to the writer's of the civil war his
tories than the confederate veterans.
The United States Government
might have the prerogative to de-
eide what is a true and impartial
history of the rebellion, but the
G. A. r. has not. A number of
of school histories of the civil war
have been published, among them
Ellis history which is used in the
public schools of our state, and not
one has given satisfaction to the G.
A. r. simply because the southern
officers and soldiers are not termed
traitors and towards in the pages of
those histories. The school his
tories above all others should be
fairly and impartially written, state
only true facts and award credit
where it is due. Would a history
Of the civil war written to suit the
q. A. R. come up to that standard?

Miss Isabella Murphy, a San
Francisco heiress who died abroad
last week, had been addicted for
several years to drink and the use
of narcotics, which it is said caused
her death. Miss Murphy became
infatuated with young priest in
London to whom she bequeathed
her entire fortune. A dispatch
from London April 9Th says: The
Westminster Gazette states Rev.
Father Smullen, the priest men
toned in the will, has refused to
accept the fortune bequeathed to
him by Miss Murphy, which is esti-
mated at 100000, and requested
that a previous will, which divided
the money among the sisters of the
deceased, with legacies to the SER
wants and to the churches, be &C.
cepted. Two sisters of Miss Murphy
married English baronets and a
third sister is the wife OF the secre-
tary Of legation at Paris.

stomachs Secured While You Wait.
A special to the San Francisco
Chronicle from Chicago April End

A special to the San Francisco
Chronicle from Chicago April End
SAYS:
With a little machine, which
looks like an egg bealer, DR.. Fenton
B. Turck has performed the feat Of
laundering the inside of mans
stomach at the Post Graduate Med
ical School, and by means of the
Roentgen ray he at the same time
viewed the interior Of the stomach
where his little device was at work.
The invention marks an era of
progress in the medical world, as
his experiment was the first of the
kind made in full view of the oper-
ators. One of the largest and most
complete Roentgen ray outfits ever
produced Was furnished to the col
lege for the experiment.
Attached to the end of DR.. Trucks
instrument, which is called gyro-
mele, or revolving sound, was a
flexible cable of spiral steel wire,
on the end of which was small
sponge. The cable was inclosed in
rubber tube, and this, with the
sponge, was swallowed by the pa
tient. The latter, who was stripped
to the waist, then stepped before
the Roentgen light, the doctor put
the Horoscope to his eyes and an
attendant turned the handle of the
gyromele. The cable revolved as
fast or as slow as was desired, the
sponge at the farther end proceeded
to it's work Eof securing the inner
walls of the patients stomach,
while the doctor, through the huor-
oscope, viewed the work by locating
the metal cable by means of the X
ray.
BY pushing or pulling on the
cable the various portions OF the
inner walls of the stomach were
operated upon and the matter which
was gathered in the sponge was
then removed for microscopic ex-
animation. No nausea or other
discomforts were felt by the patient,
though he stood before the rays for
over an hour, while the doctors in
attendance, the nurses, the operator
of the x ray outfit and a newspa-
per man examined his interior.
At the close of the ordeal he was
offended that none of the party
would crafty his curiosity to see
the operation by temporarily taking
his place as patient and swallowing
the sponge and tube despite his as
sertions that it had not hurt him.
The Roentgen ray outfit used in
the operation is capable of throw
ing fourteen-inch spark and IL
Illuminating very large Crooke's
tube. By its means it was not only
possible to see the ribs and back
bone of the patient, but to view the
vibrations of the heart and to out
line the liver and kidneys. DR..
Turck is enthusiastic over the sue
cess of the experiment.

san9uily of for Cuba.

A special to the Globe-Demo crat
from Jacksonville, Fla, April End
says: Gen. Julio Sanguily, who was
Struggled into this city secretly by
the Cuban Junta Wednesday night,
and escaped the episonage of five
Spanish spies, left this evening for
east coast in disguise, thence to
take sailing boat for Cuba. II is
understood that he will go to the
western end of the island of Pinar
del Rio Province and assume charge
of Gen. Rivera's army.
When it was rumored that San
gully was here scores thronged
Cuban headquarters, all anxious to
see the Cuban patriot, but all the
Cuban leaders feigned great aston
ishment that he should be here,
and no satisfactory replies were
given to the inquiries. 1t was for
a good reason, though, for the
Spanish spies had learned of his
projected trip to Cuba, and they
were anxious to locate him, so as
to inform the Havana authorities,
that he might be captured before
reaching his destination.
A reporter spotted his place OF
concealment by watching a Cuban
restaurant from which his meals
were taken to him, but no admis-
sion could be obtained, and he was
not seen by person except those
inside the Junta's charmed circle.
The spies camped around different
houses where they thought he might
be located but the Cubans stole a
march by putting him in a room
close to well-known Spanish resi-
dent, where no spy would think of
looking. He escaped late this
evening and took a fast train for
Miami. 1t is stated that a swift
sailing yacht is there ready to take
him to the island.
A visit tonight to the suspected
places showed Spanish spies loung-
ing around the corners, watching
houses where they suspected him
to be, though he was at that mo-
ment many miles away. There were
four in the party, all we'll armed.
