AN AMENDMENT
Congressman Sutherland viii Seek TO
Change Bill Providing for
Medals
srecial dispatch TO lie Inteilireuc,r.

SPtClhl lllsnstch 10 The 1rtslltgFuCtr.
WASHINGTON. -. c.. Aug .
Al the request of h. :. Honecker. of
Wheeling. and other West Nirginians
Interested. Congressman Sutherland
will introduce an amendment to House
Bill No. 2i59, 10 the effect that sol
diers who served in cuba MP until No.
Nember ], 1895. would be- entitled TO
service medals to be- issued bv the GOV.
eminent under authority OF House Bill
No. 2i59. As the bill now reads A.
would prevent the only West Virginia
soldiers who saw service abroad in
the war with Spain from securing
these medals. West Virginia had two
companies that served in Cuba but
they did not arrive there until the
middle OF October OF that year They
were Company g OF Wheeling and
Company l. of ParhcrsburC. of the
Fourth L. ;. Y. !. Every surviving
member OF the companies mentioned
would consider it a high and worthy
honor 10 wear ono Of these handsome
medals supplied by the government.
and would feel IL kcenly n they should
be cut out. There Is no opposition 10
the bill. and none is expected by con.
gresham Sutherland To his amend.
ment. The reason why the date Was
not extended To the time proposed in
the amendment Is due probably 10 the
fact that the bill was first proposed by
men who left cuba immediately after
tne battle of Santiago

CAUCUS ON CURRENCY
BILL TO BE SECRET
Leaders Refuse to Heed Suggestion Of
the Radicals for an Open
Meeting.
ABOUT TWO WEEKS IN HOUSE

Inform announcement was made yes
terday that the Democratic caucus to be
held on Monday to consider the admins
tration banking and currency bill Will be
a secret affair. instead Of the al fresco'
performance that has been demanded by
the radicals In the party.
The leaders listened to the suggestion
for an open meeting made by the radi-
calls, but refused to fall in with the idea.
Nor will the leaders hearken to other
suggestions that have been advanced
that the caucus shall not be binding on
members
They argue that 1t is solely for the
purpose of binding members that the
caucus Is to be held.
A prominent leader said yesterday
tina, e banking bilf would consume not
mo- than three days in caucus. and
not more than two weeks in the House.
This would mean that the bill would be
put through the Hose a few days be-
fore September 1. 1t is plain that the
leaders intend to push the measure with
out undr'y putting a curb on the men,
bers who want to talk. But long ses-
sions and possibly -'ght sessions will
be held in order that the bill may be
on its way to the Senate on or about
September !.
Anotner DdHhnS ana currency reIOrin
bill appeared in the House yesterday. 1t
was offered by Representative Lind
bergh Of Minnesota, a progressive. He
proposes a new plan for providing emer-
gency currency. The bill provides that
banks MAJ borrow on their own reserves.
and proposes the creation Of a fiscal de-
partment of eleven members to supervise
emergency currency issues. This board
would be made up of six members Of the
Cabinet and five others to be named by
the President.

Member Of International Medical Con-
gress Tells of New Method of
Replacing Lost Limbs.

London, Aug. S.-One of the features Of
today's session of the International Med
cal Congress was a discussion on Ma
ro!eon's death, which has long been held
to have been due to the cancer of the
stomach. DIR. Chaplin believed that fever
was the cause, while DIR. Gutherie con-
tended that Napoleon suffered from a
diseased gland in the head, which caused
the disappearance Of hair and the
growth of fat where bones should have
been superficial. which finally gave the
patient a feminine appearance.
The subject OF cancer formed an illu-
minating discussion. DIR. L. F. Bashford.
director of the imperial cancer research
fund. said that SO far no cure has been
found for established cancer. Referring
to the connection between chronic irrita-
ton and cancer, now being studied. he
instanced the case of an Indian cows
right horn to which are attached ropes
by which it draws wagons in India, that
cancer develops only in the right horn.

irritation.
DIR. A. l. Soresis. of New York. In an
interview, gave some details of marvel

which is nothing less than the grating
of new limbs to replace those lost.
The victim of amputation will have a
leg taken from a dead man or woman.

tesy. and when he read a special dispatch

how fair and honorable they are. 1 do

Lightning shuns Women.

Prom the London Chronicle
Statistics appear to show that men are
more likely to be struck by lightning
than women. more than two men being
killed by It for every woman. But 1t
has to be borne in mind that the mans
occupation Ii more likely to take him
into the open when lightning is about.
II has long been observed, however, that
IN . group equally composed Of both
sexes lightning seems to prefer the men,
and we may theorize at pleasure as to
whether 1t is the comparative height that
does II, or some protection afforded by
the woman's dress, or a difference in
conductibility between the sexes. The
fact that children are seldom killed by
lightning supports to a certain extent the
first Of these theories.

On Jan. s, Irene Moynaham was ar.

line appearance decided that she was
a boy in girls clothing. Irene was on
her way to visit her father at Bisbee,
Arizona. Until the holidays Irene had
been a student in the high school at
Victor, Col. All his life Irene had
passed as a girl. Mrs Moynahan,
when told that Irene had been arrest

she had always passed him of as Il

having two sons. Not even her hus'
