NATIONAL SOLONS. REVIEW OF THEIR WORK AT WASHINGTON. Detailed Proceeding;* of Senate and House Bi 11b Passed or Introduced in Either Branch Questions of Moment to the Country at Large, The Legislative Grind* Amendments providing for payment of the sugar bounties prematurely cut off by the tariff law were added to the sundry civil bill in the Senate Tuesday. All the correspondence relative to Samoa since the ratification of the Berlin treaty was sent to the Senate. McGann’s railroad arbitration bill was passed by the House without division. Eulogies were delivered on the late General Post. Nir. Fithian made a speech eulogizing Governor Altgeld and condemning President Cleveland for sending troops to Chicago. A minority House committee submitted a report giving their reasons for opposing the Pacific Railroad bill. House and Senate conferees again report their inability to agree on the Hawaiian cable amendment to the sundry civil bill. After sharp debate in the Senate Wednesday. the financial issue which had blocked the progress of the appropriation bills was swept away by the withdrawal of both Mr. Gorman’s amendment and Mr. Mills’ proposition to repeal the laws authorizing the issue of bonds. The day was wasted in the House, so far as the purposes for which the day was set aside were concerned, namely, to consider bills reported from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. The conference reports on the bill to prohibit the importation of goods in bond through the United States into the Mexican free zone, and on the pension and post office appropriation bills, were agreed to. Several pension and other bills of minor importance were passed by unanimous consent. The Senate Thursday passed the sundry civil bill, including the items appropriating over $5,000,000 for sugar bounties. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was also passed. In a speech in the Senate Mr. Chandler declared Senators Murphy. Roach and Martin had been elected by fraud. The House decided to further insist on its disagreement to the Senate amendment to the diplomatic bill providing for a cable to Hawaii. Senator Hill, of New York, bitterly scored Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, Friday for his merciless attack upon Senator Roach. Senator Morgan’s strong opposition prevented an appropriation to defray expenses of the Bering Sea arbitrators. The Senate has confirmed W. E. Wilson as postmaster general and Judge Showalter as an assistant judge in the Chicago district. Bills to protect or kill seals; to pay West V. ginia its share of refunded tax. and the Senate anti-lottery bill were passed by the House. The naval appropriation bill was passed Saturday by the Senate after it had been amended to provide for the building of but two battleships. The appropriation for Chicago’s new post office building was cut down to $.300,000 by the conference committee. The Senate receded from the Hawaiian cable amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. Both houses have adopted a resolution looking to the participation of Congress in the dedicatory ceremonies at Chickamauga. An agreement was reached by both houses on the sundry civil and Indian appropriation bills. A bill granting a pension to General John C. McClernand was passed by the House through the efforts of General Sickles. A resolution designating Speaker Crisp as one of the delegates to a bi-metallic conference was unanimously adopted by the House. Both houses of Congress adjourned at noon Monday. Little business was transacted in the final hours. Ex-Speaker Reed and two of his friends refused to vote for a resolution thanking Speaker Crisp for his fairness. Appropriations made by tta* Congress just adjourned aggregate $990,225,289. about $37,000,000 less than those of the Reed Congress. LEPROSY IN NEW YORK. A Phvsician Estimates 100 Caaen There and in Brooklyn. A physician in a New York hospital estimated that there are nearly 100 eases of genuine leprosy in New York and Brooklyn at the present time. A noticeable case is that of a young woman who was seen in Park Row the other day elbowing her way through a dense throng of people. She was indeed a repulsive object. Her ears were almost as large as one’s hand, thick, purple, and hanging down an inch; her lips were thick and seemingly hard; her hands were stiff, covered with scales, the fingers being drawn and puffed up. and her nose was abnormally developed, the nostrils probably being closed. As she passed along at a

rapid gait her big, white, scaly hand lay caressingly on the shoulder of a 10-year-old girl whom she was pushing along through the crowd. For thirty years certainly, and no telling how much longer, leprosy has been present in New York. By reference to the charts of physicians who make skin more than one person who lived there all localities which produce leprosy subjects are designated by a red tracing. This red tracing envelops the metropolis, and the records of physicians will show that more than one person who lived here all his life has been stricken with the dread disease. It is very difficult to get the actual facts in such cases, because the afflicted persons are very sensitive, and the physicinns who attend them as much as possible protect them from exposure. Among the lepers in New York is a finelooking. still young, fellow, of perhaps 28. He is educated, refined, intelligent, bon vivant, and worth a million dollars. His social connections are the very best. His features are little distorted. He lives in fashionable quarters in Fifth avenue, goes driving, mingles with his fellows freely and is an enthusiastic yachtsman. Telegraphic Brevities. State Scaator Franks, of North Carolina, died at Raleigh. E. Berry Wall, "the king o?the dudes.” is taking the Keeley cure for alcoholism. Miss Sarah Larned, of Minneapolis, has been elected supervisor of the Boston public schools. Bismarck’s physicians urge him to receive only a few deputations April 1 and to meet others later. Officers of the hydrographic bureau say the Illinois drainage canal will materially lower the level of the great lakes.

The Occasion Hopelessly Marred. A party of three policemen got leave of absence the other day ami went on a hunting and fishing excursion, their objective point being a secluded spot in a locality of whose whereabouts it is only necessary for the purposes of this narrative to mention that it was several miles from anywhere and could only be rea"hed by a long and laborious journey in a wagon from the nearest railway station. The party arrived at its destination an hour or two before nightfall and proceeded to uniload. The tent, the camp stove, blankets, eatables, guns, ammunition, game bags, fishing-rods, and other necessities of the campaign were taken out of the. wagon by Mike and Larry and piled on the ground. “I guess that’s all,” said Mike, preparing to climb out. “Not by a jugful,” responded Dennis, the ranking officer of the squad. “Look over in that comer beyant ye. There’s a jug. It’s full. Mind, now, how ye handle it!” Larry picked up the jug with alacrity. But in handing it out he had the misfortune to strike it against the hind wheel. And it broke all to pieces. There was a ghastly, horrible silence. It was broken at last by Dennis. “Boys,” he said, in a broken-hearted, world-wean - , but resolute voice, “get out o’ that an’ help me pile these things back in the wagon”—Chicago Tribune. There is more eatarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable. lor a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disc-aye. and prescribed local remedies, and by con- tantly failing to curd with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Clubs for Farmers' Wives 0 possible, it is wi-e to go outside of the ordinary limits of acquaintance and invite women of widely different associations and employments to become members of the club, writes Helen Jay in a very ] racti al article on ‘•The Mental March of a Farmer s Wife” (in the Ladies’Home Journal.

In Venice water is something of a luxury, as the inhabitants have to depend upon the rains. There is nocompany for supplying the city. Tho water for drinking and domestic uses is collected in subterranean reservoirs, where it is said to be filtered. It is doled out at the public wells, which are open one hour daily for that purpose, and then are carefully locked up. He's All Right Now. November 21, 1894, A. W. Ault, of Galveston, Ind., wrote the Sterling Remedy Co., of Chicago, extending his thanks to them for the cure effected in his case by No to bac. He said he formerly used five cents worth of chewing tobacco a day and averaged five cigars, and was a confirmed victim of the tobacco habit. After taking nearly two boxes of No-to-bac the desire for tobacco was completely eradicated, and be now feels like a new man. POLHTCS is a duty, not a trade. Need Clear Heads.
