Golden Beetles.

The most remarkable gold beetles in
the world are found in Central Ameri-

all the seeming of metal. Oddly enoguh,
another species from the same region

gold and silver beetles have a market
value. They are worth from $25 to $50

Washington, Jan. 26.-In the senate
today a very positive denial was given
by Mr. Frye (Rep. Me.), to the charge
of labor associations that the effect
of one of the bills recently reported
from the committee on commerce and
passed by the senate would be the
restoration of fogging in the merchant
marine On the contrary, he asserted
that its effect would be to give greater
security to the sailor against the bru-
tally of any master or officer at sea.
Senator Turpie, (Dem. Ind.), resumed
and brought to a conclusion the
speech begun by him on Monday in
favor of the recognition of Cuban in
dependence. He did not, as was eX-
pected, attempt to pillory Secretary OIL
ney for denying the right of congress
to recognize a new government or
new nation, but confined himself to the
argument that Spain had failed and
would fail to suppress the Instruction,
and that it was the right and the duty
of congress to recognize the independ-
ence Of the republic of Cuba.
Between the close of Mr. Turpie's
speech and the close of the morning
hour there was a period of some 40
minutes which was utilized by Mr.
Chandler. (Rep n. H.), in getting con-
sideration for his bill for a commission
to an international monetary confer
ence.
Mr. White, Dem. CALI, made some
jocular remarks on the subject of Sen
ator WolcOtt's mission as an envoy to
Europe and intimated that it was
merely an effort of the Republican
party TO make the people believe that
it was anxious TO carry out the pledge
made in the st. Louis platform in favor
of international bimetallism. He said
there would be no objection to the
passage of the bill. and the fullest
chance would be given to redeem Re
publican promises, but that the attempt
was doomed to certain failure. The
commission. he said, even if appointed,
would never come home because it
would never go abroad; and the Re
publican party, feeling that its pledge
as to international bimetallisn had
been carried out, would proceed to re-
lieve them by the addition of more
taxes.
Mr.. Cannon, Gep. Utah.), said that
he would vote for the bill, although
he considered it entirely too nebulous
and lamentably weak in leaving to the
president discretion upon question
concerning which he had (before and
during the campaign preserved the
silence of the. seven SleeperS combined.
Notice was given by MI Stewart,
(Pop. New, of an amendment to the
bill making it the duty of the SecTe-
tary of the treasury, one month after
the failure and adjournment of the
commission, 20 coin silver and gold
brought to the mint for the benefit OF
the depositors-the silver into silver
standard dollars and the gold into gold
coin.
The bill went over with notice from
Mr.. Chandler that he would endeavor
to have speedy action on it.
The remainder of the days session
was occupied by Mr.. Daniel, Dem.
Va, in a speech against the Nicara-
qua canal bill as being in fraud of
the contract
At 5:45 p. m. the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

San Francisco, Jan. 26.-The funera
of Fong Ching, otherwise known as
Little Pete" the murdered leader Of
the Sam Yup society, took place to-
day and was conducted with all due
pagan form and ceremony.
Heather prayers were said, heather
songs were sung, clouds of Chinese in
cense rose from burning punks and
candles. and all about the body of the
dead during the services thronged the
quaintly-robed priests, the Whitehead
mourne1s and scores upon scores of the
slain mans friends and followers
The principal services were held at
Little Pete's' late residence, SIS
Washington street. where his shoe fac
tory is also located.
From a very early hour Washington
street for block above and below the
building was black with people, Chi
nese and whites.
a strong force of police kept vigilant
guard in the vicinity and saw TO it
that there was no undue lingering.
Upstairs in the large room of the shoe
factory lay the body of the deceased,
encased in a costly metallic casket,
covered with black cloth. The finest of
clothing was upon the corpse. A costly
robe of brilliantly velvet COW
cred his form, and on his head was a
black mandarin cap, surmOunted by a
button of gold.
Near the foot of the casket burned
Chinese candles and incense, and with
in it, packed about his face and neck.
were bundles of paper, inscribed with
mystic characters. which were sup
posed TO aid the deceased on his way
10 the realms of celestial happiness.
Many large and handsome floral
pieces were arranged about the casket,
most of them the gifts of Chinese firms
and individuals, though the donors of
several were Caucasians.
All morning the white-robed mourn
ers, male and female, stood about the
casket, intermingled with them being
two or three priests. 1t was not until
nearly 1 o'clock. however, that the &C
tual funeral ceremonies began.
To the Caucasian there seemed little
significance in them, though certainly
there was much that was picturesque
in the strange chanting of the priests
the barbaric notes of the Chinese mu-
sicians, the paper-burning ceremonies,
etc.
During the morning Is roast pigs, two
roast sheep and wagon loads of poul-

the cemetery, and thither the remains
were conveyed. A siX-horse hearse held
the casket, an American band fur
'nished the music and a lengthy train
of mourners followed.
The Sam Yups marched in a body
as did several other societies to which
the deceased had belonged and the
line of carriages was fully mile long.
Though the formal interment cere-
monies were arranged TO take place at
the city cemetery. the body is to be
placed in a receiving vault at Laurel
hill, and further services are to be
held next Thursday.
After the funeral a meeting was held
by the See Yup society, which plotted
''Pete's" murder, in celebration of his
death. There is general joy in the So
ciety over the event, and with them
it is considered the death of their
enemy is one of the biggest victories in
the history of Chinatown.

Damp Hands.

Many girls suffer great discomfort from
damp hands. This complaint generally
arises from a weakly constitution and
highly nervous temperament. Excessive
DerspiratiOn is not only unpleasant tor
the sufferer, but renoers the hands re-
pulsive to others; therefore. anyone who
has the misfortune to suffer from this
complaint should do his utmost to cure
it. 1t is usually worse in hot Weathe-: {
but in most cases the patient suffers both
in winter and summer. If it is not q
very bad case. il may be successfully
treated with additions of very hot soft
water. and the application. after drying
of fuller'S earth, or a medicateG powder
prepared as follows: Salicylic acid. three
parts; tale. seven parts; starch. ninety
parts. Before going out into society in
the evenings. when the hands are likely
to get hot and damp, plunge them into
water in which some powdered alum has
been dissolved.
In se-ere cases it will be found neces-
sary to resort to more stringent remedies
and the inside of the hand should be
rubbed two or three times a day with a
cloth dipped in the following solution:
Eau de Cologne. fourteen parts; tincture
of belladonna, three parts
1t is we'll to assist this local treatment
with careful diet Avoid all .fermented
liquors. pickles, tea coffee and highly-
spiced dishes. and shun as much as pos
sible all gas-lighted and over-heated
rooms.

Paine's celery compound is working
miracles in the cure of disease,
So says a recent article by the fore
most medical essayists in Boston.
Nothing shows more conclusively,"
he adds, the astonishing capability of
Paine's celery compound than the
thoughtful open-minded class of peo-
pie who use it and recommend it, both
in public and among their closest and
dearest friends and relatives. Among
us (physicians) there is no longer any
hesitancy in recommending this great
est remedy without stint of praise"
About the same time the above arti-
Gle was published there appeared in
the Boston Journal. the following let
ter from David K. Chaser of 452 Wind
sor street, Cambridgeport, suburb of
Boston:

FRYE's PERTINENT REPLY.
Response to Bishop Medley That Is
Quite Cutting.

New York, Jan. pa Sun special
from Portland, Me-. says:
In response to letter urging him to
exert all his influence in favor of the
early passage by the senate of the ar
bitration treaty Senator Frye sent
Bishop Medley of the Episcopal church
of Maine the following communication:
II have your letter of Jan. 20, urging,
in the strongest possible terms, the
ratification of the arbitration treaty.
1t contains a suggestion that there may
be some opposition to the treaty from
craftsmanship, jealousy or jingoiSm.
beg to assure you, sir, that there is not
the slightest indication of anything of
the kind so far apparent. The treaty
is before the committee on foreign re-
lations, and is receiving, as it is en-
titled TO, a most careful scrutiny. Sec
rotary Olney was before us for an hour
and a half Wednesday morning. Each
article ought to receive conscientious
consideration. If the Monroe doctrine,
maintained by US for over half a CEN
fury, is by this treaty the subject of ar
bitration, good many votes would be
cast against it. Secretary Olney con-
WINGED me that that doctrine, being a
policy rather than a right, could not be
included within its terms. The con-
Structfng of the Nicaragua canal and
its practical control by cur government
is considered by many very essential to
our commercial progress, to our peace
and prosperity. Does any article in
this treaty make any question raised
there a case for arbitration? If it does
objections will be made by some to
the ratification of the treaty. Senator
Edmunds, 1 am happy to say, took the
ground that this is impossible. Another
question which attracts some attention
is our Alaskan boundary, which we
hold under Russia and which, under
her and us has existed for IS years. is
now by Canada called into question. Is
this to be arbitrated?
You judge me rightly when you as
sumo that l am in favor of arbitration
of the settlement of questions between
nations. War is a most cruel and
brutal arbitrator. l think, however,
from what I have written, that you
will recognize as a fact that this treaty
cannot and ought not be railroaded
through the senate, but that it should
receive careful, conscientious and
patriotic investigation

Plan For Reorganization.


New York. Jan. 26.-Jacob II. Schiff
of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. made the follow
ing statement yesterday: AS the
Union Pacific plan is more fully under

both the interests of the government
and of the security holders are as we'll

that the government would finally fare

While the security holders will receive
all there is in the Union Pacific COM
pany. it is considered fortunate that
the first steps have now been taken
to sever entirely the interests of the
government from the Pacific railroads.
Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. have re-

success in the Union Pacific reOrgan-
ization plans. The firm has assurances

But one ballot was taken which re-

Loucks, 6; scattering, 5. The two votes

Railway Notes.

The earnings for the past year of 1872
roads in America, including Canada
and Mexico, with $4,000 miles of lines,
is placed at s423. 269, OcO. an increase Of
81, 229, 900, or about l Is per cent over
1895. This computation does not rep
resent the total earnings of all roads.
and as the figures of a large number
of other roads for ten or eleven months
show a falling off in comparison with
the previous year. it is not thought
likely by railroad statisticians that the
full returns will show a total increase
over 1895.

Nevertheless, the report in the next
