called up the measure reported by him max
ing further provisions for a civil govern
ment Of Alaska, and addressed the Senate at
length Upon it. He said that the committee
had not deemed ii wise to provide for Leg
islative assembly for Alaska, not only on ac
count of the nomadc character of the in
habitants, but also on account of the vast
extent Of the district The discovery of gold,
Mr.. Carter said, had attracted many persons
to the district during the past two years,
but how long the rush might last nobody
could tell Considering the character of the
population and the conditions under which
tbs people lived, the holding of elections for
an assembly would be much like holding an
election at a circus.
Questioning Mr.. Carter as to the reason
for providing for three United States judges
and three district attorneys, Mr.. Vest crit
icised what he termed the multiplication
of officials He believed that reasonably
Industrious lawyer could, as a district at
torney, transact all of the BUSINESS likely
TO arise there in one month of every year.
In reply. Mr.. Carter maintained that on
account OF the enormous distances between
prominent places in Alaska and the fact
that transportation, which was almost en-
tirely by water, was impossible during the
greater part of the year on account or Ice,
the necessity of the courts provided for by
the bill was evident Mr.. Carter was here
interrupted. and will continue tomorrow.
Mr.. Gallinger, who recently returned from
trip TO Cuba. announced that yielding 10
the kind solicitation of many senator's, ne
would tomorrow. Immediately after the
morning business had been transacted,
briefly address the Senate upon his observa-
tons in Cuba unless meantime something
should occur TO prevent it.
Mr.. Foraker presented the credentials CT
his colleague. Mr.. Hanna, for the term as
United States senator covering six years
from March 4, 1899. The credentials were
read and ordered filed.
Among the bills passed were the following:
To prevent the appointment of cadets to the
naval or military academy of the United
States from states. territories districts
in which such cadets do not reside; to raise
the age of protection for girls in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in the territories to
eighteen years; to pay the State of Wyom-
of Wyoming in protecting and preserving
Yellowstone National Park during the years
1SA-S5-86 and to place Julius A. Kaiser on
the retired list of the navy a passed as
Sistant engineer.
At 4:40 D. m the Senate went into execu-
tive session and then adjourned

WASHINGTON March 22.-The naval APP
preparation bill was reported to the House
to-day, but as it had not been printed the
contested election case of Thorpe VS.. Epes,
from the Fourth Virginia district, was
taken up and debated until o'clock, when
the House, owing to the illness of Mr.. Rhea,
of Kentucky, who was to speak this after
neon, adjourned until tomorrow. The case
will be disposed of tomorrow. The prevail
ing impression is that Mr.. Epes, the sitting
member, will be unseated, upon the de-
cision in this case will largely depend the
practically the same questions are involved
Mr.. Epes had 2.621 plurality on the face of
the returns. Extensive frauds were charged,
and the majority of the committee found
that Mr.. Thorpe should have received 3J7
pluf atty, and upon their finding recon-
mended that he be seated.

STRANGE MOLLIE FANCHER.
Another Benefit Performance for the
Worlds Most Noted Invalid.

NEW YORK. March 22-Publc interest
in the case of that strange woman, Noble
Fancher of Brooklyn, has been revived by
plans for an entertainments to be given for
her benefit at Plymouth Church tomorrow
evening. Doubtless a great deal that has
been written and said about her during the
last thirty-two years has been either I'M
true or exaggerated and has caused no end
of dissension among the medical frater-
mites She cannot be blamed for 1t, but
nevertheless, for more than a quarter of
century she has been the most interesting
invalid in all the world, and still remains
a physical and psychical phenomenon. That
she possesses clairvoyant powers is no
longer denied, and that her mental percep-
tions are abnormally acute has been demon
strated SO often that nearly every specialist
in the country is familiar with the facts
Very few persons now regard her a hum
bug, and she is an object of intense SYM
pathy to everybody in Brooklyn. Miss Fan
chers family have never attempted to use
her peculiar powers for money making,
even though they are poor, and it is GUS
tomary for the congregation of Plymouth
Church. of which they are members, to give
her benefit every year or two. This time
an attractive musical programme has been
arranged, and DR.. Lyman Abbott, who has
full faith in the remarkable woman, will
preside. An electric circuit mas Deen ar
ranged so that Miss Fancher can hear the
music and speeches by telephone as she
lies in her bed.
1t was in 1864 that Miss Fancher who was
just completing school in Brooklyn
thrown from horse and injured seriously.
She had but partially recovered from the
accident when by the carelessness of
street-car conductor she was thrown from
the step of a car, and, her dress becoming
entangled she was dragged considerable
distance in the street. The last accident
made her an invalid for life and a great
sufferer. One by one her senses seemed to
leave her, and several times she was sup
posed to be dead. The ablest physicians in
the country were puzzled by her symptoms.
About three months after her accident she
went into trance and her body with the
exception of the left arm and hand, be-
came rigid. Her head rested on her right
arm, and for nine years she remained in
this position. The power of speech re-
turned to her, and trance after trance fol-
lowed When Miss Fancher recovered from
these frances she would relate to her friends
at her bedside weird stories of the visions
that she had SEEN In 1875 the rigidity of
her body relaxed, but her memory from the
time of the accident to that time was q
blank. Then it was that her friends de-
tected in her the power of second sight and
the stories that are told of experiments
with her are marvellous. 1t was asserted
that she could dictate the contents of
sealed letters which had never been in her
hands, and that she could tell accurately
OF the whereabouts of absent friends and
describe what they were doing

AduIterated Flonr BIN.

WASHINGTON, March e. - Representa-
tive Tawney, of Minnesota, q member of
the subcommittee of the committee on ways
and means. to-day submitted a substitute
for the bill introduced by Mr. Pearce, of
Missouri, relating to adulterated flour. The
bill of the subcommittee has been drawn to
meet objections to the Pearce BILL The spe-
cial tax to be paid by manufacturers and
packers of mixed flour is reduced from 800 to
$l2 per annum. The tax on the product is re-
duced from 20 cents to cents barrel
The manufacturers and packers of mixed
flour are required to mark and brand their
flour distinctly so as to prevent it's sale for
that which it is not. The definition of mixed
flour in the substitute bill is changed so as
to make more explicit the term mixed
flour" A new section is also added regu-
lating expectation of mixed or blended flour.
Another important change in the sub-bill
is that the responsibility for the failure to
mark and stamp the packages properly
or to pay the tax on mixed flour falls ex
cluSively upon the manufacturer or packer
entirely relieving the consumer from any
criminal liability on account of purchasing
for consumption mixed flour on which the
tax has not been paid.

To Provide a Gold Income.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Gull
lom to-day introduced a bill which had been
sent to him by the National Business Mems
League. The purpose of the measure is to
provide gold income for the United States,
and is as follows: THAT in order to provide
a gold income to meet obligations required

increasing the governments obligations in
maintaining the gold reserve and to
strengthen the public credit to meet all
emergencies, 80 per cent. of the duties levied
upon foreign importations of merchandise or
manufactured articles, or other articles inn
ported from foreign countries shall be paid
in gold coin of the United States, and the
remaining so per cent. in such currency of
the United States as the secretary of the
treasury may suggest

National Quarantine and Alaskan
Bills Discussed mt Length.

WASHINGTON. March PA feature OF
the Senate proceedings to-day was an ex-
tended speech by Mr.. Cafferv in support
of the pending national quarantine bill. In
the course of his argument Mr.. Caffery
said that he wanted the whole quarantine
power in the hands of the United States
government, the only authority which could
make a quarantine effective and. he added,
that he was as stanch a States rights adj
vocate as any man. I'VE want said he,
"a central quarantine authority upon which
responsibility my rest. We want uniformity
of action in this matter of quarantine regu-
lations backed by such financial and legal
power as will enable the authorities to
cope with the dread diseases which are
likely to ravage the country"
Mr.. Bacon interrupted Mr. Caffery to in
quire whether he would object to the fol-
lowing amendment to the pending bill
Nothing in this act shall be construed to
interfere with the right of any State or
municipality to protect It's citizens from in
fictitious, contagious or epidemic diseases
by such rules and regulations as the au-
thorities of said State or municipality may
deem necessary" This amendment will be
proposed by Mr.. Bacon.
In reply to Mr.. Bacon's inquiry Mr.. Caf-
fiery said he saw no objection to the terms
OF the amendment as ne understood it. If
the State or municipal power were suffi-
cient, he said. he would not insist that the
national authority should be paramount
But it was evident that state and municipal
authorities were unable properly TO cope
with epidemics. In conclusion. after speak
ing for nearly three hours Mr.. Caffery
said that state guarantees were utterly in
efficient, utterly poHerless against an cpl
demie OF yellow fever Under this inefficient
state quarantine system he had known the
most brutal and savage acts to be per-
