washington, Fet. 16. - The senate
was in executive session most of the
day. but the open session afforded Suf-
ficient time for q sharp controversy
over proceeding with Mr.. Morgan's
resolution to abrogate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty Mr.. Sherman inter-
posed numerous points of order
against Mr.. Morgan, and when the
chair sustained these the Alabama SEN
ator referred to his being victimized
by the presiding officer and Mr.. Sher-
man. Mr.. Stevenson retorted sharply
that there was no disposition to ''vic-
timiZe.' On a vote Mr.. Morgan carried
his point and the resolution was taken
up. AS it involved questions of eXecu-
tive business the senate went into eX-
ecutive session. At O'Clock the
open session was resumed and some
progress made on the bankruptcy bill.
The coup arranged by the house
leaders for the passage of the sundry
civil appropriation bill under suSpen-
sion of the rules was a complete sue
cess, and this big appropriation bill,
carrying $50, 644, TAB, was passed with
out opportunity for amendment, just
as it came from the committee. Lie
house made the best of the fact that
it was suspension day and quite
number of bills were passed more or
less important, among them the senate
bill appropriating $250,O0O for closing
the crevasse at Pass fOutre, on the
Mississippi; to equip the national
guard with uniforms, 45-caliber Spring
field rifles, and the senate resolution to
authorize the secretary of the navy 10
transport the contributions of the Pa
cific coast states to the famine suffer
ers of India. The report in the con-
tested election case of Benoit VS.. Boat
ner, from Louisiana, confirming the
latter's title to his seat, was unani-
mously adopted. The conference re-
port on the diplomatic and consular APP
preparation bill was adopted and the
agricultural bill was sent to confer
ence.

Washington, Feb %. = The senate
had a lively discussion Saturday, ap-
parently relishing the work of open
session after the protracted struggle
behind closed doors on the treaty. Mr..
Cameron presented a resolution eX-
pressing sympathy with Greece which
was agreed to without division or de-
bate. On motion of Mr.. Quay the bill
for a non-partisan commission to in
quire into the problems of labor was
taken up. Mr.. Allison, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, APP
pealed to the senate to allow the con-
sideration of appropriation bills, and
asked Mr.. Quay especially to let the
commission bill go over. He then
asker unanimous consent to take up
the Indian appropriation. The senate
adjourned without taking action other
than a long debate of the school item.
The house resumed consideration OF
the general deficiency bill. A spirited
debate occurred on the pending mo-
ton of Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois to strike
out the item of $4,000 to pay mem
bers of the Fifty-third congress, the
amount withheld from them on ac-
count of absence. Mr.. Hopkins amend
ment was finally agreed tO-113 to 90.
An amendment offered by w. A. Stone
of Pennsylvania to give members
whose terms expire at the close of this
session $500 for clerk hire for one
month after their retirement was ruled
out ON a point of order, as was also an
amendment by Richardson of Tennes-

AGAINST
JUDGE HOWRY.

Washington, d. c. Jan. 2.
"A sub committee of the Sen
ate Committee on Judiciary is
investigating a charge of man
slaughter which has been made
against Judge Charles Howry.
of Mississippi, who has been
nominated to be Judge Of the
Court of Claims. The opposi-
ton TO confirmation filed its
charge before the first meeting
of the session was held by the
committee, and. while strong
influence was brought to bear
to have the charge ignored.
and to secure immediate con-
hrmation, the more conserva-
tive members of the committee
asked for delay in order to in
vestigate the facts.
The friends of Judge Howry
admit that he killed a man, but
claim the homicide was entire
ly justifiable. Howry and a
lawyer named Sullivan quarrel
ed over a case at Oxford, Miss,
and Howry's friends say that
as both were men of courage
it speedily became a question
of which should die. Both men

ATTORNEY
DRYDEN SHOT.
His Remarkable 5octrinal Con
troversy with Bishop
Kain Recalled.

Wheeling, w. Va. Jan. a.
Attorney NJ. F. Dryden. form
erly one of the most brilliant
Methodist ministers in the
West Virginia Conference, and
now leading lawyer of the
Wheeling bar, had a narrow
escape from death to-day at
the hands of his father-in-law,
Dryden and his wife, it is said,
were quarreling at their home
on North York street.. when
Dryden, it is alleged. threw a
bundle of papers at his wife.
The woman screamed, and her
father, Thomas Workman, who
lives IN the same house, ran to-
her assistance with a revolver
in his hand. The old man was
thoroughly aroused. and be-
fore Dryden could retreat
Workman shot him. The bull
let passed through his left side
just outside the ribs, over the
heart, and plowed through his
arms, making wound that is
not serious. but giving Dryden
a very close call for his life.
Five years ago Dryden was
the most brilliant and conspic
uous minister in..the West Viz
GINA Conference. At that time
he conducted a remarkable
theological doctrinal controver
sy with Bishop John J. Kain,
now Archbishop of St. Louis.
This controversy was watched
with interest all over the coun-
try.and Protestants, everywhere
were gratihed by Dryden's eff
forts, while the fame attained by
Bishop Kain.it was claimed, was
largely the cause of his eieva
ton to the archbishopric of St.
Louis. About four years ago
Dryden renounced his religious
profession. declaring his dis
belief much In the Methodist
doctrine. He attempted to
start a liberal church here, but
failed, and after a few months
reading was admitted to the bar
where he has made rapid pro-
gress.

ton Of not only moderate fertil

The inventor of the Singer
sewing machine is recalled by
the sudden death in Paris of
one of his daughters, the young
Duchess Descazes. Although
she has not been we'll for some
time, no axiety was felt by her
friends. Attending the opera.
she seemed in usual health
and spirits, but next morning
she was found dead in her
bed. The Duchess is said to
have been universally loved
and esteemed for her many at
tractive qualities. Among the
numerous relatives whom her
death will throw into mourning
and participate in the gaities of
the coming winter season. are
her sister, the Princess de Pc

Nature takes the time when
one is lying down to give the
heart rest, and that organ
makes ten strokes less a minute
than when one is in anup
right posture. Multiply that
by sixty minutes and it is 600
strokes. Therefore in eight
hours spent in laying down the
heart is saved nearly 5000
strokes and as the heart
pumps six ounces OF blood
with each stroke it lifts 10000
ounces of blood in night of
eight hours spent in bed than
when one is in an upright po-
sition. As the blood flows so
much slowly through the veins
when one is lying down extra
covering is needed to supply the
warmth usually furnished by
circulation.
