Much Speculation as to the Outcome OF
Johnson's Speech.

Much Speculation as to the outcome OF
Johnson's Speech.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. s.-The
California colony in Washington is all
agog tonight over Johnson's castigation
of Hearst. The language used was so
harsh and unparliamentary 1t was
expected that a motion would be
made to expunge his remarks from the
records. but no such motion was made.
Therefore the terrible accusations against
Hearst will be printed in the Congress
sional Record which comes out to-mor-
row, unless Johnson chooses to ''revise"
his remarks.
1t is the custom for the public printer to
send proof sheets TO the Congressman,
after his speech has been put in type, so
that he may make typographical and YER
bal corrections, but many Congressman
take advantage OF this privilege and often
eliminate whole sentences, paragraphs
and even pages of their remarks or ado to
their speech, just as they may choose. So
it is barely possible that Johnson will re-
greet his Incorporate language and elimi-
nate it from his remarks IN tie Record.
THE CALL correspondent asked Loud,
chairman of Post Offices and Post Roads
Committee. to-day if the Congressional
Record containing Johnson's remarks
might be debar1ed from the mails as be-
ing obscene. AZ hardly think So, said
he. For it is no worse than many patent
medicine advertisements with which daily
papers are filled. l hope, however, that
Johnson will eliminate his unkind re-
marks from the Record"
Loud and others OF the California dele
CATION deeply deplored the episode OF
to-day. 1t is rumored tonight that john
son may be brought before the bar OF the
House Tomorrow 10 be censured for his
parliamentary speech of to-day.

Claims for Manages In Order.

expected, not only .in the triumphs
of the troops over the rebels, but also in
the small losses by the army. He hoped
that Gomez, the rebel leader, would come
to the province of Havana. Should he do
so he would surely meet his end.
General Weyler further said he at
tached no importance to the rumors that
he was to be deprived of his command. If
he were recalled others would do as well if
not better than be had done
In conclusion General Weyler recon-
mended patience and prudence, and urged
that all those loyal 10 Spain should do
their best to support her. With union, he
declared, the desired results would be at
tanned.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life. il
is more often the result OF weak stomachs.
OF poor digestion.
Real organic heart disease is ineurabIe.
but not one case in a hundred of hea
trouble is organic
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlledby branches OF the same great
nerves. the 5 Sympathetic nd PneuInogastric
In another way also, the heartis affected
by thatform ofpoor digestion, which causes
gas and ferme ntation from half digeste,I

OF the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion also posons the blood.
makes il thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is 10 improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use,
after meals, OF some safe. pleasant and ef-
feCtive digestive preparat ation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain yalu-
able, harmless digestive clements, in
pleasant, convenient form.
IL is safe to say that the regular. persis-
tent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time VIII cure any form OF stomach
trouble, except cancer OF stomach

Treasury officials in recommending that
bay line steamers increase the number OF
Iifeboats, so as to have the same number
comparatively, as are now carried by the
large coastwise steamers, has aroused the
steamboat men in Baltimore, who claim
that the hurricane decks of their steamers

AMBULANCES ARE BUSY.
Unsettled Weather Making Much
Sickness Among rhe Poor.

The cold and humid weather during tht

he has had an unusually large number Of
hospital cases, owing largely to the pre-
vailing meteorological cOnditions-fEst sun
slime aud balmy spring weather, then lower
ing clouds an storm, followed in rapid sue
cession by Jack Frost's icy breath from the
north, snow and ice.
These sudden atmospheric changes are
trying on those who are sound in body
and limb, and it is no wonder, therefore,
that tie police aInbulances have been kept
busy during the past two days whirling
TO the hospitals sufferers in every stage of
disease.
On Wednesday twenty-three persons,
white and colored. young and old, were sent
to the curative establishments in the Dis
trict. Some of them were victims of
abJect poverty as well as disease, and
there were among the number some who
viii never live to feel the genial warmth
OF the Coming spring.
Yesterday fifteen sick persons were given
permits To the hospitals, only two OF the
number being able to call at the sanitary
Office in person. The others were found
by the ambulance drivers in novels or
wretched tenements, in most cases sur
rounded by squalor and half-fanished
children.
Pneumonia, rheumatism, malarial fever,
with here and there case of child birth,
were the prevailing causes of distress, and
to the changeable weather is due the Sc

and the increased number requiring hos

THE ANSWER TO MR.. cULLoM.
Those Civil Service Reports Were
Made Several Months Ago.

The annual reports of the Civil Service
Commission, for which Senator Cullon
called by a resolution in the Senate yester-
day, have been made long ago, and are in
the hands OF the President. Why they are
not published and furnisip IN printed form
is another matter.
1t is understood that 1.-THE substance OF
these reports have been Incorporated In
other papers transmitted by the President
to Congress, and therefdfe At was consid-
cred unnecessary to serfA the full reports
The report for 1895 was made and sent
in about January L, 1886, while that for
the year ending June 1, a eg6, went to the

pointment of the Washington Loan and

cnrinns Conner. Mining.

The United States Consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba reports that about nine
miles from that town there are copper
mines, having shafts from 900 to LOO
feet deep, which were regularly work
ed until 1867, since which time they
have been abandoned and have become
filed with water, all but 300 feet of
their depth being below sea level. But
in later years copper was obtained
from the drowned mines In an interest
Ing manner. The water with which
they are filed holds a considerable
quantity of copper in solution, and this
water was pumped out into tanks.
Scraps Of iron were then thrown into
it, and the dissolved copper became
deposited on the iron. When the de-
post grew sufficiently thick It was
broken Off, and the iron was thrown
back into the water to gather fresh
Incrustation of the red metal.

Damaging truths are bad enough.
Damaging untruths-or truths PERM

when business confidence Is none too

man to endanger by word or insinua-
ton the confidence that may exist be-

Arms whose downfall was brought
about by the sudden commercial de
ma ads of suspicious creditors.

Credit Is built on confidence.
There is no surer way of undermin'

credence TO and circulating rumors
about him. The man who stealthily
spplies the torch to building Is NJ

GIohnlar lightning.

Lightning balls" are comparatively
rare phenomena, although there are
many recorded instances Of their APP
pearance during thunder storms The
cause of their formation Is more or less
mystery, but some light has been
thrown upon it recently by the expert
ments of Signor Right at Bologna. He
has succeeded in producing artificial
lightning balls with a powerful Holtz
electric machine and battery of Ley
den jars, and has made photographs OF
them In various stages of their exist
ence. The conditions under which he
produces his mimic lightning are: high
resistance in the discharging circuit
great capacity in the condenser, and
rarefaction of the air through which
the discharge takes place.
