Washington, jan 20--The completion

clustering tactics of Mr. Tillman, dem,
of South Carolina. He declared that
the whole canal scheme" was purely
speculative and had for its main idea

louder it stinks. CLaughter). Mr..
Tillman also frankly announced that
the bill could not be passed to-day as
he and other senators, if necessary,
would remain in the chamber until mid

While Mr.. Caffery was discussing his
amendment reducing the amount avail

100000, Mr.. Berry offered the following
amendment to section 3: Nothing in
this act shall be construed to authorize

DR.. DAILY also explained the methods
of embalming human bodies. Many
persons had methods which they claim
ed to be superior to all others, but the
common method was to use boracic
acid, salicylic acid or glycerine. In
making examinations of beef he was
possessed of a knowledge which caused
him to look for two particular sub
stances. In regard to his report he was
asked whether it had been forwarded
from army headquarters to any person
interested. He replied that in his opin-
ion the major general of the army was
the person most likely to be interested.

CROKER ON NATIONAL POLITICS.
Again Asserts That sixteen to One Issue
IA Dead

| New York, Jan 20.-Richard Croker
in an interview to-day said: II reit-
crate that the sixteen to one question
| is dead issue. This was proven con-
clusively by the expression of the will
of the people in 1896, when they elected
Mr.. Mckinley president of the United
States. Now, the democrats of the west
and other sections of the, country are
trying to foist this dead issue upon the
democratic party and to make the old,
dead cry of 16 to L the democratic
slogan in 1900. Speaking for this sec
tion of the country / say that if the
question is brought before the people
there will be felt again, throughout the
nation, the same distrust that prevailed
in 1895. During the fall Of that year,
while the campaign was in progress,
every man with a dollar of surplus,
boarded his savings; so that there was
actually no money in circulation. AS
natural consequence, the times then
became well nigh desperate.
IF this silver question comes again
before the people and is made a factor
in the national platform, the moneyed
men of the east will look for investment
outside of this country and the banks
in other states will be unable to bor-
row money in the east. The result will
be that the poor will be the greatest
sufferers. The winter of 1S9S-99 has
been free from the seems OF starvation
and suffering so plainly characteristic
of the time when the financial strength
of the country was threatened. Labor
is not idle and money is in circulation,
because there is feeling of financial
security. The free silver issue is, after
all, merely a local issue. In the sec
tions where free silver will benefit the
residents 1t is but natural for them to
declare for Is to 1. However, in my
opinion, the money question should be
settled in congress But here in New
York we must see to it that the posi-
tion of our party on the money ques-
tion meets the requirements not of any
one section, but of every section. When
in convention assembled the majority
Of the delegates demand certain STAN
dard or certain reform, New York will
fall faithfully in line. But the demo-
cratic platform Of 1900 has not yet been
written"

TO RESPECT SAMOAN TREATY
GERMINT WILL NOT SUPPORT Any
POSSIBLE rRREGULARITY.
The Foreign Office Points Out, How
ever, That 1T is Not Yet Clear That
German Consul at Apia Has Been
Guilty of Any Irregularity-Dlssat tis-
fed With the Treaty.

Berlin, Jan. 20.-The foreign office in
forms the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press that the official reports re-
ceived from Samoa by the government
tally with those published. In any
event, Germany will not support any
possible irregularity inconsistent with
the treaty, but the foreign office officials
point out that it is not yet clear that
the German consul at Apia has been
guilty of any irregularities of that ma
ture. On the contrary, the foreign office
insists that it still remains to be ex-
plained why Mataafa's election was de-
clared invalid, as he was admittedly
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The foreign office admits that Germany
has long been dissatisfied with the con-
dominium, which, in it's nature, is pro-
visional, though, unfortunately, other
powers, especially the Washington gov
ernment, have thought otherwise" The
foreign office officials say that the cap
tain of the German warship Fake, at
Apia, docs not attach much import
ance to the recent incidents" and hence
the government does not intend to send
additional warships to Samoa unless the
other powers do.
The National Zeitung to-day refer
ring to the trouble in Samoa, says: THE
untenable character of the existing con-
ditions at Samoa have been demon
strated. Further information regard
ing the latest conflict between the Ger
man and the British and Amer Off
cials must be awaited. 1t is clear that
in consequence of the joint dominion or
the three powers the seeds of conflict
are always present, to the dangerous
nature of which the limited extent of
American and British interests is in
startling disproportion."
The Vossische Zeitung assures it's
readers that the German government
can be depended upon to act correctly
and in accordance with the treaty obli-
cations, "of course with due apprecia-
tion of German interests which cannot
be surrendered"
The Post remarks: when the actual
situation is known Germany will take a
decision injurious to no existing
rights"
The Official Reichsanzeiger says that
Emperor William received the German
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow, in audience this afternoon and
that later he accorded an audience to
the British ambassador to Germany, Sir
Frank Cavendish Lasselles.

ARMY IND NAVY CONTR CTORS.
Attacked In the House by Messrs. Lewis
and Simpson.


Washington, Jan. 20.--The proceed
ings in the house were enlivened to-day
by a wordy duel between Mr.. Grosve-
nor of Ohio and Mr.. Lewis, the plctur-
esque member from Washington. Dur
ing the debate on private bill to refer
to the cour: of claims the claim of
Cramp & Sons, the Philadelphia ship
builders, for damages from the govern
ment for delays incident to the build
ing of the warships New York, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana and Columbia, due to
the failure of the government to deliv-
er armor plate and other materials for
these ships on time, Mr.. Lewis got the
floor The claims aggregated about ST.,
100000, and the bill had encountered a
good deal of opposition. Mr.. Lewis
made 1t the text for general attack on
army ard navy contrAetors whom he
charged with being traitors for taking
advantage of the necessities of the gov
eminent in time of stress. Mr.. Simpson,
the Kansas populist followed along the
same lines and Mr. Grosvenor under
took to rebuke them both. Mr., Lewis
in reply made a very witty speech rid
iculing the Ohioan for his alleged pre-
tensions Mr.. Grosvenor did not make
an extensive rejoinder, though he dis
played a lot of documents and intimat-
ed that he had plenty of reserve am
munition in store for Mr. Lewis The
Cramp bill was edged out of the way
after the flow of oratory ceased Earlier
in the day the postofflce appropriation
bill was finally passed.

Fancy Belts.

Some extremely smart leather belts.
which threaten the Immediate retire
ment of last seasons assortment, have
made their appearance. They are not
particularly novel in the materials OF
which they are made, nor are the
buckles especially unusual. The novel
ty is in the pretty little woven leather
edge. The belt, of kid. patent leather
or plain grain leather, is made quite
narrow, and very narrow strip OF
the same leather Is knotted in sort
of crochet stitch all along each edge.
This finish makes variety in the
leather belts, in black, white or brown.

For use with ribbon belts there Is a

match the cuff links and studs. These
are clasp pins, strong enough to hold
skirt and waist together.

The bandeau style OF wearing the
hair Is coming in again, and parting
or at least a separation OF the hair in
the center of the front threatens to
usurp the place Of the pompadour puff.
The potent reason some women give
for deserving the pompadour is that
men do not like it. They like sleek,
shining Madonna bands, as fiat as
their own pates," says one woman.

like bangs. curly and ringletty." But
the average man smiles benignly,
and when the happy medium between
the puff and the bandeau appears he
gazes in deep admiration. Mrs. Ken
dal wears her hair in the way most
men like It, so do Jane Hading and
Maude Adams and sweet Annie Rus
sell. All Of these actresses have IN
usually fine hair, heavy, long and
thick, and they also have good fore
heads; but the parting. with ripples
on either side and big, soft knot
in the back, cannot be called a trying
style, uOuc VI luCsc dCticooSo, WIN
the exception Of Nine. Jane Had
ing, is noted for her beauty.
The chignon, when worn now, is
placed ON the top of the head in the
form of soft loops or fluffy curls. The
nape Of the neck Is left uncovered.
Combs are used more than ever, and
the broad shell ones are particularly
pretty. A new and becoming way OF
dressing the hair is to have two ban
deaux descending rather low upon the
forehead, with the hair turned up in
wavy cUrls at the sides. The coff-
fure is round at the back On the top
OF the head the hair is rolled with
two waved marteaux separated from
the front hair by band of velvet or
satin, on which are fixed two gar
deuia blossoms.
When the hair is worn low two tor
toise shell pins, with diamond-incrust-I
ed heads inserted on either side, serve
the double purpose of security and OF
adornment.

While the regiments from all over
the country were gathering at Chick
amauga the brass buttons Of the SOL
diers' uniforms were in great demand.
Every one was trying to buy them or
coax them from the soldiers, but it was
little girl who struck upon a plan
of getting together a collection that
represented every regiment in camp.
She used to sell lemonade to the SOL
diers, and then when they offered to
pay her she would insist in a charming

were a great many soldiers who had
to pin their uniforms together on ac-
