SENATORS WERE BUSY.
Monetary Conference BIZ Considered
for the First Time.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The senate
had busy session today, Cuba the pro-
posed international monetary conference
and the Nicaragua canal came in for
share Of attention. Mr. Turpie closed
his speech on the Cuban resolution,
urging that Spain had utterly failed to
quell the outbreak, and that the United
States should intervene.
The Wolcott bill for an international
monetary conference was considered for
the first time. White, Cannon and
Daniel urged that the conference would
be futile, and was not intended as a
serious movement toward bimetalism.
1t VISA made evident, however, that the
bill would meet little opposition beyond
the contention of senators that the bill
would accomplish nothing. Stewart
offered an amendment providing that,
in case the conference failed, the secre-
tary of the treasury should within thir-
ty days begin the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver. No
final action on the bill was taken The
Nicarauga canal debate was resumed,
Daniel speaking against the measure
Morgan submitted a letter from Presi-
dent Hitchcock, of the canal company,
replying to the recent letter OF Minister
Rodriguez. Morgan also offered an
amendment designed to meet the objec-
tions presented by Mr. Roderiguez

THE HERoD OF HAVANA.


Washington, Jan. 27.-In the senate
today Turpie Of Indiana, characterized
Captain General Weyler as the Herod
of Havana, the murderer of women and
children" and as an indescribable
diminutive reptile" These bitter
words were incident to Turpie's speech
of two hours on the Cameron Cuban
resolution. The speech did not develop
the criticism of the secretary of state
which had been foreshadowed by Tur-
pies remarks last week, az the senator
confined himself largely to careful
analysis of the constitutional rights Of
congress, his conclusion being that con
gress, as representing the people, had
the primary and paramount authority
to recognize new governments. Tur-
pie frequently turned aside from his
arguments to pay glowing tribute to
the insurgent government and its lead
ere. General Maoeo was eulogized as
a hero, whose memory would be hon
ored by the people of Cuba libre as the
American people honored the heroes Of
Revolutionary days In connection
with Maceo's death, the senator re
ferred with bitter denuneiation to Gen
eral Weyler

lay and OF the possibility of the defeat
of the choice of the majority.
Turner received 6S of the 81 votes of

Washington, Jan. 27--After con-
suming most of the time today in dis
posing OF District of Columbia business,
the house took up the Indian appropris-
tion bill, and made fair progress with
1t before the hour for adjournment was
reached. The bill carries o., ,525, 79l,
or 1868, 294 more than the current law,
and $246, ,265 more than the estimate.
Twenty of the seventy pages Of the bill
were disposed OF,
The conference report on the immi-
grafton bill was presented, and Dan
ford, who has charge Of it, gave notice
that he would call the report up at an
early date. A bill was passed calling
on the war department for an estimate
of the cost of water route from Gal
weston to Houston, Tex.
Johnson of Indiana, took advantage
of the latitude allowed in debate to
read speech in favor of an early re-
form Of our banking and currency laws.
He described the depressed condition
which existed during the recent cam
paign, and argued that unless the in
coming Republican administration cor
reoted the evils, it would be swept ont
of power in 1900, and the country
would suffer loss and disaster, which
1t would take years to eradicate. He
insisted that those who believed the
enactment of protective tariff would
restore prosperity would be disappoint-
ed. Unless there was thorough and
adequate revision Of our banking and
currency laws, he said, there should be
no lasting prosperity. lie agreed with
the president that the greenbacks
should be retired. He thought that
with the establishment Of broader
banking system the banks should have
the privilege of issuing notes against
their assets
Curtis Of Kansas, offered an amend
ment to the Indian bill to permit mer-
chants to 90 into the Kiclsapoo reserva-
tion in Kansas to collect their accounts.
1t was explained that this year, for the
first time, merchants had been excluded
from this reservation. The amend
ment was adopted.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Wonderful Discovery of Professor
G1ano, of Genoa.

New York, Jan. 29.-The unusual
interest taken by physicians and the
public in the treatment of pulmonary
tuberculosis, or consumption, as it is
commonly called, will be increased by
the news that a serum has been discoy-
cred which, it is claimed, will prove
the absolute cure for the disease in it's
first stages, and will greatly benefit
patients and arrest the progress of the
disease in its advanced forms.
The serum is the discovery of Pro-
fessor Maria Glano, of Genoa, Italy. A
small quantity was brought to this
country and physicians of st. Luke's
hospital began experimenting with it
week ago. The serum is obtained from
the blood of horses which have been
inoeulated with tuberculosis germs in
small quantities and continued unde-
this treatment for several -moE.hs. Its
effect is to produce in the blood of the
horse some quality of resistance to
death, which, when introduced into the
human system, sustains the resisting
power.
The serum theory is therefore exact
" opposite to the theory of vaccina-
tion, which introduces germs of the
disease itself into the system, and by
producing the disease in a mild form
renders the body imperyious to its fur
ther attacks
