1T is pretty well settled as to what is

the country during the next campaign. -
said Grosvenor, 'if they can find candi-
date to stand and bear it daughter on
Republican side).
Speaking of the action of the Senate in
connection with the Cuban bill Grosvenor
said that the Senate reported the bill
back and twas assumed that they want
ed to stay here for some purpose, so they
did not offer any resolution to adjourn.
1t would have been almost an insult
for the House to have offered one he
said. what right had we TO assume that
the Senate of the United States would
stop would balk and refuse to so on |
might say in the language of the politi-
before and they haven't done SO now.
There is some wise, it may be inscrutable
reason. but il is q wise one for il comes
from the greatest parliamentary body on
earth AID greater than any in Heaven.
So now are We waiting for what? For
through with that bill for the present
and want to adjourn. We cannot slap the
Senate in the face by adopting reSolu-
ton that We want to adjourn, when they
are under the same call that We are and
have not done what We have done-diS-
charged our duty. l assume that they
are waiting to consider moro fully the
character of that legislation. They know
but little about 1t. 1t just came from the
House, they did not have 1t but few
days. 1t is true that unofficially we know
that they baked on the whole business
no doubt some time during the present
weck-to pass that bill unless they send
US word that they want to adjourn
AT 10 p. NJ, the House adjourned.

HUMAN FINGER
Sent as a Warning to Take
Troops from Mines.
A GhastIy Hint Received by Gen.
Bell at Telluride, Col.
Finger Had Recently Been Severed
from Living Hand.

Denver, Col, Dec. 1.-Adjutant GEN
eral Sherman NJ. Bell, today, received
from Telluride, the following letter
wrapped around a human finger:
General BELIEVE send you the fin
ger of a man who disappeared from
Telluride some time ago. His ears will
follow and then his head. II his friends
want to see him again in any other
way but the way we send him, you
have got to do one thing. We only
want you to withdraw the troops from
Telluride at once. If you don't you
will receive his ears in few days.
Don't try to find us, for it is not in the
power of q tin soldier to do it.
(Signed) IS. D."
A physician who examined the finger
pronounced it the ring finger from the
right hand and said it was evidently
cut off shortly before the letter was
mailed, as the blood stains on the let
ter bore evidence of being fresh and
the blood on the finger was hardly dry.
After comforting with Gov. Peabody.
Gen. Bell turned the letter over to post
office inspectors who will endeavor to
trace its author. 1t is generally be-
lieved ut the Capitol that the matter
was intended rs a hoax.
It developed, tonight. that the blood
finger came from the Office of n loca
surgeon and it is charged that it was
sent to Gen. Bell as joke by certain
newspaper reporters. Gen. Bell, to.
night, issued a statement in which he
declares that he has placed the matter
in the hands of the postal authorities
and that 10 effort will be spared to Sc
cure the apprehension and punish the
parties responsible.
