WAITING ON THE TREATY
Legislation Lsgsing UniiI If Is Dis-
 posed of.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Everyth ng seems to wait on the ratification of the peace treaty now before the senate, which nc doubt will spend most of its time behind closed doors. All ether business in the senate will have to wait upon it. In the house delay over the ratification has blocked the work Cf tue appropriation committee. It is anxious to get to work on the su1dry civili bill, but can do nothing until the treaty is ratified as the approPra- ten Of $20,000,000 to be paid t. Spain for the PhillipineS must go in this bill.
 The most serious de'ay is the pro- mitigation of the presidents policy in the PhilliPines. Until the senate ratf- f1es the treaty, the war is not officially closed, the Philippines are no5 ceded t3 the United States, and the insurge nts are really Spanish subjects, and we have no control over them. When the treaty is ratified the United Sta es es- sumes protection over the islands; by right our military government is su- preme and we can order the insurgents and rebels to recOgnZe the sovereignty of the United States and deal With them if they do net
 The delay causes irritation and dis turbance in the Phillip nes for it gives chance for Aguinaldo's representative here to misrepresent the streng n Of the opposition, and it gives the insur- gents an idea tkat if they DIS p0ne the Americans ccntol they may final ly defeat them. However, it may give a chance for the better class Of intab- it9nts to see exactly the policy Of the administration toward the islands. They know it means protection, lib3r- ty and prosperity fer thcm, and effO t5 are being made to impress this upon those who are in arms CT have keel inflamed against the United States bJ false reports.
 The course adop ed by the govern mont through the war department in establishing a censorship ever Phllll- pine dispatches is considered Wise course, as it prevents false information reaching the insurgents and keeping alive their reblliOn. It cuts Agu1naldc off from the avice of meddling ratio ms and indiViduas and will be continued, it is safe to say, until the treaty is "a l. fled and the president has inaugurated his policy toward the Filipinos.
 The past week has brcug1t many changes in the composition of the IT. ate, because number Of states have either elected or caucuses have selec ed new members after March 4.

 Speaker Smith had something to say on the additional employees bill, and as it would not be in order for him to say it from the platform he excused himself and asked Mrs. Lee to assume the speakership. Mrs. Lee blushed at first. She was not expecting such an honor, but her embarrassment soon disap- peared and in short time was on the -ouse platform.
 Once or twice the fair speaker had occasion to sound the gavel to call members to order But the gavel did not sound very loud.
 Mrs. Lee showed herself conversanI with parliamentary tactics, though at times she was slightly perplexed
 As the proceedings heightened out Mrs. Lee became calmer and more col 1ected and before adjournment she proved herself very good speaker.
 During the debates it was interest ing to note the various methods em- ployed in addressing the chair. She was variously addressed as 'Mr. Speak CT" Mrs. Speaker" Mime. Speaker" Mime. President" and Mrs. President" The most popular way seemed to be Mrs. Speaker" which will be adopted on future occasions.

TO KILL ALL BACILLI.
Startling Flee rical Discovery Reported
 From Washington.

Washington, Jan. 19.-A wonderful discovery in electric force is announced
 whereby the inventor claims that he can send a million volts through the
 human body, kill all forms of bacilli, incuding these of tuberculosis, with cut, incidentally, .hilating the pa tient.
 A New York attorney is now in this city filing with the patent office the papers necessary to protect this re markable discovery. He is very re- ticent, and frankly admits that he fears ridicule. From what was divulged, however, it appears that the inventor proposes to take advantage of the fact that glass is not an absolute re- sistant or non-conGuctor, but that a tremendous electrical current striking against a glass case, in which is en- closed a human body, is diffused over the wide eXpanse of glass plates, and hence permeates all parts of the hu- man body inside the glass case.
 The theory upon which electricity is to be employed in therapeutics by this inventor is that repeated charges Of electricity are not only certain death to various forms of bacilli without injury to the patient but that each "cell" of the human body is q separate and dis IluCL uNlHS OFSdu1SIn. 1n OCner WOrQS, that each cell is a tiny electric battery An ordinary current of electricity trav- els along certain nerves, which are the telegraph wires of the body, and con- vey sensations to the brain. Elec- tI'icity Invariably travels along the shortest route; hence these currents, as ordinarily applied by physicians, are 'short-circuited. Thus the current does not permeaite all parts of the sys- tenn. but by employing a tremendous current and diffusing it over a wide area of glass it can be made to perme3te every cell of the human frame.
 The inventor asserts that one charge of such a current would vitalize the tiny electric batteries and give energy to the worn out body and to the wearied brain. Every bacillus. he says, will be killed and the patient 1n emerging from his glass case will be ike a new man.

TO QUIT NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans. La, Jan. 19-It be- came known today that the Illinois Central Railrcad company through it's chief engineer has asked one of the largest contracting firms operating in the south to make a bid on the cost of moving the Stuyvesant docks, wharves and terminals, including the $I,OOO. 900 elevator, to Avonda1e, twelve miles up the Mississippi river, and above the New Orleans city limits.
 This action is the result of the freeze out policy of the Orleans levee board and the city council in refusing the Illi- nois Central adequate facilities for reaching it's present terminals. The ~eport has it that a S5 5,00O, ,000 terminal will be established at Avondale.
