In Congress.


Republicans in the House are unable
to agree on provisions of the immigra-
tion bill.
Senator Hawley has instituted an in
vestigation of the cost of educating pu-
pills at Indian schools.
The Democrats in Congress urge that
the government either get all of its
money out Of the Kansas Pacific or take
the road.
Efforts are being made to effect a
combine between the Cuban and Ha-
waiian annexatiOnists for the purpose
of adding strength to their fight.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, vigor-
ously opposed the free distribution of
seeds when the agricultural appropri-
alton bill was under consideration.
There is a row on in the House Cur
rency Committee. Radical Republican
members are not satisfied to 90 no fur
ther than Mr.. McKinley's plans sug-
gest.
Senator Lindsey, of Kentucky, has
answered the resolution of the Kentucky
House demanding his resignation, by as
serting that the members knew his views
when they elected him.
Judging from what can be gathered
from the Congressional Record a mem
ber who gets the floor, is privileged to
talk about anything and everything but
the matter under consideration.
Jerry Simpson created considerable
amusement in the House in speech, the
subject of which was Mr.. Dingley's hat.
He said that the Republican members
rallied around that hat. If he came in
and laid it ON his desk then the mem
bers knew that the session was to be
short, but if he left it in the cloak room
that they knew that the House would
hold an extended session. He had taken
the trouble to examine the hat, and
found that it was marked London, which
indicated that he got his hats and his
ideas on the financial question from the
same place. He also referred to the ru-
NOR that Mr. Dingley had hurried up a
private importation of wool in order to
get it through the custom house in time
to escape the increased duties fixed by
his own bill. Mr.. Simpson then sarcas-
tically referred to the great protection
leaders purchase of foreign goods and
thereby depriving American labor of the
protection his own bill was supposed to
give. Mr.. Dingley replied by stating
that the London mark in his hat did not
indicate foreign manufacture but that
the dealer said that 1t sold better with
this label. His explanation was received
with jeers on the Democrat side. He
denied the wool importation story.

During the summer of 1891, Mr..
Chas. P. Johnson, q we'll known
attorney OF Louisville, Ky, had a
very severe attack Of summer COM
plant. Quite a number of different
remedies were tried, but failed to
afford any relief. A friend who knew
what was needed procured him a
bottle of Chamberlain's G Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which quick
ly cured him and he thinks, saved
his life. He says that there has not
been day since that time that he
has not had this remedy in his house
bold. He speaks Of it in the high
est praise and takes much pleasure
in recommending it when ever an
opportunity is offered. For sale by

WARNING GIVEN
 AT THE CONSULATE.
A Spaniard, Supposed to Be De- ranged, Who Said the Maine
 Was Going to Be Blown Up.

NEW YORK. Feb. PA special cable from Havana to the Evening Sun says: It is useless to attempt to emu merate the number of coincident stories and theories which are circulating on the causes of the Maine disaster. nearly all going to prove that the explosjon was intentional.
 One of the most mysterious coinci- dences IS that man who seemed to be a Spaniard came to the American con- sulate a few days before the explosion and, addressing himself to MT Hyatt whom he mistook for Consul Lee. said:
 "Mr. Consul. have come to in- form you that the Maine is going to be blown up. Take the vessel away and let me go with it, otherwise I am lost man."
 Hyatt has charge of distribution of American supplies for reconcen- trados. His desk is at the entrance to the consulate, and he is daily ap- preached by hundreds of weeping women and men who are half deranged owing to the effects of starvation.
 He paid no attention to the man. who then addressed Vioe-Consul Springer. MT. Hyatt motioned to MT. Springer to pay no attention to the stranger; that he seemed crazy. On the day before the explosion he came to the consulate three times He was very much excited. Since then no one has seen him.

COMMANDER AUCKLAND
 CALLED TO WASHINGTON.
It Is Evident Naval Reserves Would Play an Important Part in
 Case of War.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-A New Haven, Conn.,, special to the Herald says: Commander Edward c. Buckland of the Connecticut Naval Battalion left for Washington to-day in response to the following telegram: Commander Buckland of the Wyandotte will report to the Navy Department at Washing ton on Friday"
 As stated in the Herald this morn ing, repairs are now being made upon the Wyandotte, which is one of the old monitors that has been anchored in this harbor for the use of the naval reserves Engineer Trowbridge of the reserves has been instructed to pre- pare a list of shipping vessels of Long Island Sound that could be used in time of war. Commander Buckland left New Haven very suddenly, and did not inform any of his friends or officers of his battalion of the nature of his mis- sion. It is believed, however. that he has been summoned to Washington as a result of the activity of the Navy Department in all it's branches.

to mount one Whitehead torpedo tube and one one-pounder rapid-fire gun.
 Yachts to be available as torpedo launches must have a speed of from g to IA knots per hour and carry one short Howell CT Whitehead torpedo tube and one e-pounder gun.
 It was officially reported to the Navy Department to-day that the monitor Terror had left Norfolk for Hampton Roads, where she arrived a few hours later. Secretary Long said this even ing that in directing that the Terror and Puritan be placed in commission he was actuated solely by a desire to keep up the armored strength to the point occupied before the destruction of the Maine. As to the movements of the Terror. the Secretary said she would either go to some northern port or join the North Atlantic squadron.
 It can be positively stated that the Terror will proceed to New York in case the Vizcaya should remain at that port an indefinite period.
 The cruiser Cincinnati reached the Barbadoes to-day, and the Castine will officially report her arrival at that place tomorrow. These vessels will remain at that port until further or ders.
 The only exact information received by the Navy Department from Havana during the day was conveyed in Cap tain Slgsbee's telegram, which said
 HAVANA, Feb. 24.-Long, Secre- tary of the Navy: Wrecking tug Right Arm arrived yesterday. Begins work to-day Much encumbering metal must be blasted away in detail. Navy divers down aft seven days, forward four days. Bodies of Jenkins and Merritt not found Two unidentified bodies of crew found yesterday. After compart- ment filled with detached broken and buoyant furniture and fittings, mud and confusion. Spanish authorities con- unue offers of assistance and care for wounded and dead. Everything that goes from the wreck to the United States should be disinfected. Wrecking company should provide for this.
 The surgeon of the Maine. after con- sulting with others, has recommended that all bedding and clothing should be abandoned. It might go to acclimated poor. Useless fittings and equipments might be lowed to sea and thrown overheard. Will take all immediate re- sponsibility, but invite departments wishes. Shall old metal of SuperStruc- ture and the like be saved? Friends of the dead should understand that we are in the tropics. Chaplain Chidwick is charged with all matters relative to the dead. His conduct is beyond praise. Don't know what reports are being printed, but the intensely active repre- sentatives of the press here have been very considerate of me and my posi- ton. SIGSBEE"
 Secretary Long immediately replied to Captain Sigsbee, approving all his recommendations. He was directed to have Wainwright, executive officer of the Maine, make arrangements with the wreckers for the disinfection of everything sent to the United States

THIS WOMAN
 WOULD FIGHT Miss Lou Held Ready to Battle With the
 Spaniards.
Willing to Cast Aside Scissors and Razor and Shoulder
 a MuSket.
Says She Is Not a 'Jingo," but Offers to Join the National
 Guard.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON. Feb. 24.-Miss Lou Held who runs little barber shop on Weber avenue, is one of the most original women in the world, and as her occu- patton of barber shows she does not hesitate to enter the lists with sterner man for livelihood in this world Now, Miss Held does not appear to lack in patriotism or whatever that quality Is that makes people with fiery hearts talk of shouldering muskets. While many men are talking of averaging the national honor, here is a woman who is willing to become Moll Pitcher and man a gun in defense of the country. Miss Held has not let her intention end with talk. She has, after some effort, prepared a communication which she intends to send to Captain Johnson of Company A, in which she sets forth her views on the Cuban matter, and is credited with evolving the following:
 Captain w. R. Johnson Company A Dear Sir: 1 have been reading in the pa perS that there may be war in this country with Spain. I ain't one of those "iingoes.' or whatever you call them, but don't think our flag ought to be insulted by lot of Spaniards. And then think of the brave seamen lost. If they died in war it would have been different, but they went down like rats in a trap. Now. Captain Johnson, I am a woman and earn my living in a barber shop on Weber ave nue, and because do that some may say am like a man. l may be a l1tIle dIl- ferent from others of my sex, and I ain't afraid of no man. Now this is what want to say: I have heard of women in war, and if your company is called out I am willing to shoulder musket and fight for this country.
