PRITCHARD TO HELP BUCK.
The North Carolina senator Will Try
to Get Him to Japan.

The North Carolina Senator Will Try
to Get Him to Japan.
Washington. March SO.-Notwithstanding
the general impression prevailing among
Georgians that Col. Buck is slated for the
Japanese mission, his friends are calling
for outside assistance in his behalf.
To-day a delegation composed of Gen.
Longstreet, Walter johnson, Farrow and
Pledger called upon Senator Pritchard of
North Carolina and requested him 20 join
IN urging the appointment of Col. Buck to
the Japanese mission. AS Senator Prtch-
ard is the only republican senator from
the south, he is, to a certain extent, con-
suited about federal appointments in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.
After listening to the statement of Gen.
Longstreet in support of Col Buck, Sena-
tor Pritchard said he would be glad to as
sist the Georgia republicans In presenting
their request to the administration, but
he announced that he would not interfere
IN any of their factional quarres. He add
ed that Col. Buck case seems to be pretty
well understood by the President, and he
VIII surely be appointed in the foreign
service

GOLD IN HIS BRAIN.
The Precious Metal Was Used to
Suppiant Bone Tissue.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
William Carnahan, a patient at the Al
legheny General Hospital, Is attracting
the attention of the medical profession be-
cause of wonderful operation he has
just passed through. The operation con-
sisted of placing a layer of gold between
the membranes covering his brain. 1t Is
intended to supplant a large section Of
bone that was trephned away In the
hope of curing him of epiieptic fits. He
Is on a fair way to recovery from both
the operation and fits.
Carnahan is a railroad employee and
lives at 155 Ellsworth street, Allegheny.
Shortly over a year ago Carnahan was
badly injured in railroad accident. His
skull was fractured and his life despaired
Of The splintered bones were removed
and he apparently recovered. Shortly af-
ter this he began to have epileptic fits Ev-
evry known remedy was tried TO cure him
of them. He was a patient at the West
Penn Hospital, but got no relief He went
cast and was under the care of the lead
ing physicians and surgeons there, with
no better results
Some months ago he was admitted to
the Allegheny General Hospital Drs. r.
l.. McGrew and c. II. Weight operated
upon him. His skull was trephned again.
The epileptlc attacks ceased for a short
time after this, but only for a short time.
II appeared to the physicians that the abb
sence of such a large quantity OF bone
exerted an influence that had bad et-
feet upon the brain. There was also con-
siderable difficulty in healing the wound
properly, due to the fact that the mem
branes. the dura mater and pia mater
adhered together.
Drs. Voight and McGrew decide upon
a novel method to cure this. Carnahan
was taken to the operating room. An in
cision was made into the brain and the
outer membrane lifted up. This part OF
the operation was extremely delicate. A
heavy layer of gold was then placed over
the dura mater 1t was laid In sections
with the finest gold leaf The outer mem
brane was then placed over, and the ends
where the incision was made stitched to-
gether. This was followed by closing the
outer wound. The operation was .ry-
ing one to the patient. 1t required sew
eral hours to complete it. II was per-
formed several days ago. Carnahan is
now able TO sit up. He has not had an
attack of the fits since, and apparently
does not experience any Ill effects from
the load of valuable metal upon his think
ing organs.

MISSISSIPPI no BORROW MONEY.
The Senate's Finance Committee Re-

The Senate's Finance Committee Re-
iects the Governors Plan.
Jackson, Miss, March SO.-The finance
committee of the state Senate met here to-
day in response to an invitation of Gov
McLaurin, for the purpose of devising
ways to cure the states financial ills,
or rather to agree on a. revene bill to be
reported to a special session of the legis-
lature in April.
The ways and means committee of the
House met the governor week ago and
agreed upon plan which he submitted
to them and which has been
kept secret until to-day. The
finance committee rejected the
plan to-day on the ground of uncon-
stitutionality and has agreed upon one
of their own. empowering the governor
to borrow 100000 al per cent.
The plan rejected is in the shape of a
legislative bill and contemplates failure
to make the June distribution of the COM
mon school fund, amounting to about
100000, retaining this sum in the treas
ury for the purpose of meeting current ex-
penses instead of paying the school teach
ers as the constitution directs. Only three
of the committees were here, but they were
unanimous against the governors plan
of tiding the state over the summer

DUTY ON PLNEAPPLES.
Representative Davies Makes a
strong, But Futile Plea.

Representative Davies Makes a
strong, But Futile Plea.
Washington, March Representative
Davies of Florida was one of the par
Elephants in the tariff debate to-day. 1t
was his maiden effort, and the House
heard the new member from the Land of
Flowers with interest. He objected to the
proposed duty on pineapples, claiming
that it is even lower than the present rate.
He said the pineapple industry of Florida
is an infant industry and needs the same
protection that is accorded to similar in
dustries. He admitted that the principles
of the democratic party favor the heaviest
burden of taxation possible upon luXuries,
and as pineapples are a luxury, every
democrat could consistently vote for an
increase in the proposed duty.
He referred to the recent disaster to the
orange groves in Florida, and eloquently
pictured the courage and determination
displayed by the people of Florida under
such trying circumstances. He drew a
graphic picture of the gold-laden orange
groves swept away in a single night, en-
failing the loss of many fortunes without
a murmur or a plea for help. He said
they simply ask that they be given fair
chance TO share the BENEFITS of the propos-
cd law with other industries.
Mr.. Davies made a very favorable i'm
preston upon his associates, but he did
not induce the committee to change the
proposed rate on the fruit mentioned.
In reply Chairman Dingley stated that
the present duty is 20 per cent. and the
proposed rate is equal to % per cent. on
pineapples.

The Number of Applicants Thou

Atlanta, Ca, March SO-More than 5000
new applicants for pensions will be dis
appointed. Commissioner Of Pensions
johnson says there is not enough money
to pay all the new applicants for pensions
in the classes made eligible by law. Only
l25 of the 600 new applicants for invalid
pensions can be paid and only 600 Of the
$500 new applicants for INDECENT pensions
will get the money.
The commissioner is deluged with let

to make a public statement showing the
inadequacy of the appropriation TO meet
these demands. The payment of all these
pensions will be a problem for the next
legislature as the number OF applicants
