NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.


Inc Senate ODstruotiontsts bt1il Rrevont
Vote ON the Measure. Z.
WASHINGTON, Feb. latter a. brief par
iismsntarI struggle In the senate late YES
terday afternoon the friends Of the Mica
ragus canal bill were unable to hold
quorum and sit out the obstruction to that
measure. Mr. Villas, Of Wisconsin, had
continued his speech In opposition, 1t
being the third successive day. At 4:30
p. IN. d tRoss fire Of motions to adjourn
and calls Of the house began. The friends
Of the bill resisted adjournment, while the
opposition sought TO close the session and
give Mr.. Villas rest from his protracted
effort. The parliamentary contest oontin-
ued at intervals for half an hour, when all
business was suspended by the absence of
quorum and refusal to adjourn. The
friends Of the bill finally gave up hope Of
securing quorum, and yielded to an adj
journment Mr.. Villas continues to hold
the floor Earlier in the day Mr.. Thurs
ton, Of Nebraska, spoke in opposition to
the resolutions Of his colleague, Mr.. Al
len, questioning the right Of the executive
branch to foreciose the government liens
on the Pacific railroads. The senate
agreed to the house resolution fixing Feb.
10 for the ceremony Of counting the vote
for president and vice president.
The contested election case Of Cornett
VS.. Swanson from the Fifth Virginia dis
trict occupied the attention of the house
yesterday. Three Republicans and three
Democrats on the elections committee had
reported In favor Of the Democratic con-
testse, Mr.. Swanson, and three Republic
cans offered minority report recommend
ing that the seat be declared vacant on the
ground that fair election could not be
held under. the Virginia election law. The
majority report was sustained, and Mr..
Swanson's title to his seat was confirmed
by an overwhelming viva voce vote. Be-
fore adjournment the house adopted
special rule making it in order to place on
the District Of Columbis appropriation
bill rider repeating law passed, 1t was
claimed, by sharp practice by the last con-
gress, which law gave the court Of claims
jurisdiction over some old claims said to
aggregate 81 100000 against the district
when 1t was under . territorial form Of
government.

The Bread Riots in Spain.

LONDON, Feb. A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Madrid gives additional
details concerning the recent bread riots
and strikes at Madrid and Ara njuez. The
latter town is still quiet The town hall
is strongly guarded by police and soldiers
1t is announced that thirty-two persons
were wounded in the conflicts between
the authorities and the populace, and that
many more would have been injured but
for the forbearance of the soldiers, who
refrained from firing on account of the
presence Of women and children. Every
thing indicates at the present time that
the worst Is over.

BRocKToN, Mass, Feb. 4-The labor
strike which has kept this city in a state
of excitement for the past week is now as
eood as settled, and the Lasters union

its old help at the old prices, and will i'm
medlately start up OH their spring trade.
This action on the part Of Mr.. Barry in
agreeing to such settlement is direct

though not In mortal combat.
Honor seems to have been duly satisfied
with great expedition aud an incopsider-
able expenditure of pain and suffering.
The prince seems TO have had tho worst
of il with three cuts. while the count
escaped with scratch on his sword hand.
We read that two OF tho five engage
ments were at ''closs quarters" and the
presumption is inevitable that in the
other three engagements, the royal duel
lists were tanning tho air and chopping
leaves off the treos with their wispy
blades
In the interests of humanity IL is reliey-
ing To learn that the counts sword only
penetrated the prince TO the subcutaneous
tissue and that after falling he got up
and walked 10 his carriage.

DELICATE SCALES.

The question most commonly asked by visi-
tors in a chemists laboratory is. How small
q thing can you weigh on your scalesr"' 1t
conveys Sitte meaning to tell the average
person that good pair Of chemists balances
will wei gh accurately to one-tenth OF one
milligrumme, but If he Is told that n short hal
from mans head can be easily and accu-
rately weighed the questioner begins TO APP
preach tho delicacy of adjustment in the
scales. More delicate still are the balances
used by tho assayers. The weighing OF gold
by the assayer requires the greatest possible
accuracy, since small speck of that metal on
the scale pan may represent very large guam
titles OF IL in the ore or the bullion out In tho
works. Tho balances made for this gold
work. are the most sensitive Of any used for
commercial work, and. in fact, are more ac-
curate than those employed by many scien-
lists Some idea of their accuracy and sem
sitivencss can be obtained by the following
experiment:
piece ofsordinary white paper the size OF
a cent is carefully weighed and then short
pencil mark drawn on IL and the paper Is re-
weighed This second will differ from the
first by Just the weight of the graphite left
by the pencil mark IL care is taken and the
balances are in perfect adjustment the re-
suit will always be the same, no matter how
many times the paper without the pencil
marx ana tho paper with it be weighed The
two weighngs always differ 10y just the
same amount and that is the added weight of
the graphite. OF course, such balances re-
auire the greatest care, for they easily get out
of order. and whom once disarranged there is
no telling how long IL may take to get them
adjusted again. 1t may be two minutes, and
IL may be two hours. Some good assayers say
that IL is impossible TO work successfully
with gold balances" unless one possesses
larve stock of patience and profanity. From
what know Of slclful assayers, should say
that this is approximately true.

A Newspaper, Not a Party Organ
THE SATURDAY EVENING NEWS.

THE SATURDAY EVENING NJ VS..
The Saturday Evening News was
hummer In more ways than one.
The ontiro edition reserved for the office
sales was cleaned ouu--not copy to be
had by O'Clock In the evening, although
more than reasonable anticipations of the
demand had been provided for
It's varied contents were enlivened by
the silly, but not uninteresting communi-
cation addressed by the policy gamblers
to the business men of the city, asking
then to boycott The News in tho inter-
ests Of policy playing.
This letter, far more insulting to the
business men TO whom IL was addressed
than to The News at whose interests it
was aimed was mailed literally on FRI
day night.
1t was In the hands Of the parties ad-
dressed by the morning delivery of Sat
furday.
And within ten minutes of its receipt
by one firm, 1t was placed in the hands OF
The News thus testifying to the esteem
and friendship in which this newspaper
Is held by business men whose enter
prises are recognized as legitimate and
who are reputable citizens.
Such betrayal Of presumed "oonh-
1enoc " was doubtless not anticipated, but
as tho business man who handed the first
copy of tho absurd and outrageous anony-
.nous communication to The News said,
"To consider for moment such COM
munication would mean that considered
myself as one of that dirty crowd. My
drst impulse was. Of course, to consign it
TO the waste basket, but / thought The
News ought to know for its own salts
faction that its work was proving effect
i've In stirring the policy crowd to such a
desperate resort"
The Saturday Evening News had no
reason to suppress the letter. 1t published
It freely. as it would have done had the
gamblers addressed one of their precious
documents to this office. The public is
relied upon to pass Judgment satlsfac-
tory to the interests Of this newspaper and
to the interests of the community and al
the dwcllors In 1t
Next Saturday evenings News will be
q breezier and better paper yet even
though 1t may not be so fortunate as to
have available for its columns commun-
ication from the press bureau of tho
Policy Trust Limited!

MUST INSURE.

Germany has system of compulsory
insurance for workingmen that is some
what remarkable In its results. The re-
port for 1895 shows that is, 3S9, 600 per sons
were insured under the law, OF whom
3, 400, 600 were employees in shops and
factories, II, 300. 600 were employed in
agriculture and 900. 600 were in tho en-
ploy of the state. In that year the number
OF accidents was "a. S97. Of which GAS tor
minated fatally. The total expense OF the
system for the year was sl3 400, 600.
Under tho German system workman
Of twenty years OF age pays an equiva-
lent of 40 cents n week for three years and
Mt tho age of 65, no receives the sum Of
s77, besides having an insurance against
accidents. Tho annual premium Is
divided into three parts, one Of which Is
paid by tho assured, another by his en-
ploy.r and the other by the state. Tho
number of occidental deaths in Germany
is larger than in any othcr country in
