HOUSE.


AS this was the day on which a mo-
ton could be entertained to pass q bill
under suspension of the rules, it was
decided before the House met to take
advantage of this fact to pass the Haw-
lev bill for the creation of two addition
al regiments of artillery under susper-
sion of the rules.
Accordingly, as soon as the reading
of the journal had been concluded, the
Speaker recognized Chairman Hull, of
the military committee, and Mr.. Hull
made the motion to suspend the rules
and pass the Hawley bill. Under the
rules twenty minutes on @ side is allow
ed to debate such q motion.
Mr.. Bailey, the democratic leader, at.
tempted to affect Sd arrangement ty
which the time for debate could be ex-
tended to forty minutes on side.
The debate on the bill was devoid Of
sensationalism, though there was great
opposition when Mr.. Hay of Virginia
declared that he stood ready to vote
for any increase to prepare for the
emergency that confronted the conn-
try. 1t was significant mainly for the
fact that the opposition 10 the bill was
confined, as shown by the vote, to three
members, two of whom spoke against
it on the floor.
Mr.. Cox, the ranking democratic
member Of the military affairs COM
mittee, opposed the measure and as he
controlled the time on his side of the
House, he yielded half of it to MIR.
Jones who also antagonized it. The
democrats who spoke in support of it
got the floor by the the courtesy of Mr.
Hull, the chairman of the military af-
fairs committee. Mr. Bailey, the demo.
cratic leader, was shut out, and when
he asked unanimous consent to address
the house for three minutes it was re-
fused.
By a special order made last week
to-day was given to the District Of CO.
lumb ia as compensation for last Mon
day which was taken by the appropria
tioDs committee ana Mr.. Babcock,
chairman of the District committee,
objected to the request, saying that the
time was needed for the consideration
of District business.

 HIS LAST REST
Hermit Luce's Life Was h. SuPed for Two Thousand
 Dollars.
The Policy-Holder, a Capitalist Re- fuses to Pay for Burial of
 the Remains.

Deputy Coroner Hallett, having learned that Henry w. Luse, a capitalist whose residence is at IS Essex street. held $2000 policy of insurance upon the life of Franklin Luce, the hermit who died last Friday on the Blue Cum tract, made in quirv of MT. Luse yesterday as to wheth- CT he intended to defray the expenses of the burial of the deceased, or whether the city would be saddled with the bur den of burying him in the potter's iield.
 The capitalist replied that he would not pay out a dollar for the burial of the body of the man by whose death he was to come into possession of 5000. When asked his reasons for this strange course, MT. Luse said that he had advanced more than the amount of the policy to the de- ceased in his life time, and that he did not feel justified in sending any more good monev after bad money.
 The deceased was 50 years old, and had his. life insured in 1883 in Friendship Lodge, Knights of Honor, in this city. He afterwal transferred the policy to Capitalist Luse, who is said to be not a relative and who spells his name diff ferently from that of the deceased.
 If the Knights of Honor provide for the funeral the expenses will be taken out of the proceeds of the policy. If not the body will be buried as that of pauper.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Doubles at the California Courts
 Yesterday Afternoon.

The gentlemen's double tournament at the California Tennis Club yesterday did not draw as many entries as was antici- pated But what it lacked in number was made up by the single match of the two teams which will contest on the courts of Placer County next week. For the first time since preparations have begun for the Penryn tournament Brad shaw and Bob Whitney were pitted against George Whitney and Walter Magee.
 George Whitney and Magee started out to play fast ball. By clever smashing on the part of Magee and accurate plac- ing on the part of Whitney the first set was won by their combined excellence of play In this set Bob Whitney had not let himself loose. The score was 64. Robert N Whitney and Bradshaw cap- tured the second set by the same score, after some very stubbornly fought points and changes from deuce to vantage and of a gift to Bob Whitney and Bradshaw, both of whom played excellent ball throughout the set The score was 6-3. The complete score was 4-6, 64, 6-3.
 The other matches were not so inter esting and were of In inferior order: Davis and, Hooper beat Walters and Stauf, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. Code and McGavin
 Pieher, StanfOrd'S representative tennis player; was on the courts yesterday, and he undertook to discuss matters in ac- ton with Ralph Bliven. Pieher had things his own way, defeating Bliven 6-3, 6-z, 6-3.

His Left Arm and RiQht Shoulder Are Inoc-
 ulated.
The Poison Has Also Caused an Affection of the
 Heart.
The Doctors Say That Joe Will Have
 to Rest for a Long Time.

Backed with pain and tormented by a dread illness, Joe ChoynsM is now waiting with much anxiety for the next few days to pass. He is suffering from
 blood poisoning, and, though his physi-
 clans think there is no immediate dan-
 ger, his illness is a serious one.
 The cause is not positively known, but it is believed to have been due to in- oculation from a sore on the arm of George Green, with whom Choynsh spared while the former was training
 for his fight with Ryan. However he
 came by 1t, it is certain that Joe is now in great physical agony, and that the
 poison has coursed through his veins i for some time. The trouble has brought with it attendant affections, and Joe's
 heart is now in pretty bad shape Dur ing the last few days he suffered from severe palpitations. His physician, Dr. Gallwey, also finds an enlargement of | the cardiac organ.
 About a week before the Ryan-Green | fight, while boxing with Green. Choyn- ski tore a patch of skin off his left
 arm just above the elbow. They boxed | for some time after the accident, clinching, wrestling and fighting at l close quarters. George Green was at | this time afflicted with a crop Of polls,
 and it is thought that Choynski's open | skin wound came in contact with Greens boils, and the result was blood | poisoning.
 Joe noticed the scratch on his arm and it's evident unwillingness to heal some time prior to the Sharkey battle. At times his left arm would grow stiff, and massage was necessary to lubricate it for rapid use in bag punching. It did not pain him then, but it was a | source of annoyance. Last Monday the left arm grew stiff, and on Tuesday night, in the presence of Ed Graney, ChCynski stripped to show his bosom | friend the sore on his arm. Then for the first time Joe noticed a long black | stripe on the inside of the left upper arm. Joe began to work his arm in and out when suddenly he straight | ened up and tainted dead away. Gra-
 ney did not lose a moment, but telc- phoned for Dr. Gallwey, who has been
 in attendance ever since.
 Not only is the left arm swollen, but l the right shoulder is in the same
 condition. Poultices were applied to l the sore places and the puss drawn to
 the surface. It was necessary to lance
 the arm and shoulder last night.
 It will be some time before Joe Cho- ynski steps into the ring again. The affection of the heart will demand a 1 long rest, and the roots of the poison
 will have to be eradicated before Cho-
 ynslSi can do anything physically vio- | lent. His physician thinks it a miracle
 that he could have fought at all with
 his heart in such a condition.

HIT HER ON THE NOSE.
Serious Charge Made Against Police
 Officer CoIen

Annie Watson, a woman who has been arrested several times for vagrancy made a serious charge in Judge Camp bells court yesterday morning against Policeman Colen.
 Colen had her up for vagrancy again and she testified that he had been hound ing her for years. After he arrested her on the last occasion she ran away from him while he was ringing up the patrol wagon, and after he caught her again he struck her on the nose with such force as to make 1t bleed, and made use ot strong language at the same time. His antipathy to her was because she would not give him more 50 cent pieces.
 Colen denied striking the woman, and said that her nose was bleeding when he arrested her. He also denied getting any money from her.
 The Judge continued the case for a week and will investigate the charges brought against the policeman.

caster into the ring and stated in its
usual positive way that Mr.. Alger was
friend Of the university. and that the
made by The Republican in
relation to his opposition to the agri-
cultural college here were untrue. OF
course the Boomerang produced no evil
dence to back up it's assertions. At the
time The Republican first made the
charges against Mr.. Alger it gave the
page OF the house journal and the day
of his adverse action. Again we pro-
duce the record. which cannot be dis
puted. House Journal Of 1895, page

A POEM WITHOUT THE LETTER E

A POEM WITHOUT THE LETTER E.
John Know was a man of wondrous
might,
And his words ran high and shrill;
For rDold and stout vas his spirit bright
And strong was his stalwart will!
Kings sought in vain his mind to chain.
And that giant brain to control;
But naught on plain or stormy main
Gould daunt that mighty soul.
John would sit and sigh till morning
cold
Its shining lamps put out;
For thought untold on his mind laid
hold.
And brought out pain and doubt.
But light, at last, on his sould was cast:
Away sank pain and SORROW
His SOU Is gay in a fair today.
And looks for a bright tomorrow.

made on No. 81. and today three more

Low. the Poor Devil. Gets 1t in the
Neck Again.

Look at the glorious list" exclaims
the Boomerang, in IT'S efforts to prove
that the democrats have furnished to
the war its greatest heroes on sea and
land, and then it names Dewey, Schley,
Hobson and Captain Clark. The
Boomerang knows that it is speaking
falsely when it claims that Dewey be-
longs to the democratic party. The
brother of Dewey, who lives in YER
mont. has told to all the world that the
Dewey family are all republicans, in
Guiding the gallant naval hero, and that
they always have been. N. R Davis Of

Sun-I eader. the politics Of his brother
in-law, Captain Clark of the Oregon.
The question "a asked by telephone
and back came the answer: H. Is a
republican. of course. and I think al
ways has been" Schley may be a DEM
ocrat, but the Sun-Leader has no way
OF finding out to which political party
he belongs. Hobson came from Ala
bana where it is quite respectable to
be a democrat. 1t can be said for him,
however, that he is a fighting democrat,
which is quite in contrast with the kind
of democracy which prevails at the
Boomerang Office. 1t has been notice
able. in this year OF 1898. that there are
two kinds of democrats, the brave mes
who went t the front and served their
country loyalty: the other kind are the
stay-at-homers and who thrive by max
ing false charges against the admins
tration. These the known as lying dem
ocrats. This class are gangrened with
