of the gentleman from Missonri. He merely desired to amplitfy the spirit of the able speech of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. LanharaJ. delivered Saturday. That speech had found a responsive echo in his heart, especially that portion of it in which he had inveighed against the proscription of Southern men from tho high offices of the government. In a spirit of fraternity and of break; n 2 down the barriers of proscription that had built up, he demanded that the Democratic party in its national capacity should remove those barriers. hen the Democrats of the South furnished lr3 electoral votes for the candidate of the Democratic party, why had tho Democratic party steadily refused to nominate for President or Vice-president any man who had served in the confederate array? Never had there been a time in the history of politics when a class of men had been so stigmatized as the men of the South, had been stigmatized by the negative action of the party to which they belonged. Mr. Enloe of Tennessee inquired why the Kepublican party had never placed Bruce or Xangston on the presidential ticket WnEItE FRATERNITY SHOULD BEGIN". Mr. Grosvenor replied that they had never been candidates. The first rebel ever appointed to a Cabinet office had been appointed by U. S. Grant and the second by JL B. Hayes. Republican administrations had sent more confederate soldiers to

foreign posts than had the Democratic administration. He charged tho Democratic party witn having built up, intrenched and made perpetual the brand upon the men who served in the confederate army. The speech of tho gentleman from Texas was an appeal from a confederate to have amnesty adopted in the Democratic party. The Democratic party, in power in the House, with a slight exception, since 1670, had never dared to put a confederate in the Speaker's chair. Let this beginning of fraternity begin in the Democratic party; let it begin in the party that had proscribed its own members, and no sectionalism could be found in the Kepublican party. Anplause.l Mr. Greenhalge of Massachusetts, referring to the remarks of Mr. Stone, said that a posthumous argument on tne federal elections bill, a shameful and cowardly attack upon any member of the House or on a member of the co-ordinate branch, was not worthy of any man of chivalry, honor or self-respect, lie appealed to the chivalry and the decency of the House to condemn this resuscitation of arguments projected months and months ago, and now biought forward in a sepulchral shroud. Mr. Lanhara said in his speech he did not mean to inspire any sectional talk. His whole speech was against sectionalism. If .there was anything of that in the Democratic party he hoped that it would depart from it forever. The time had come when every citizen of the United States was entitled to every privilege which belonged to him as a component part of this great gov eminent. Mr. Spinola of New York said that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Grosvenor asked why the Democratic party did not put some confederate soldier at the head of its ticket. He would ask in return why the Kepublican party, which owed its rower in the North to the negro vote, did not put some colored man on its ticket! Mr. Grosvenor suggested that two members of the Ohio House of Representatives were colored men. Mr. Spinola That is an immense reward for carrying three or four of the largest States of the Union to whittle them down to two insignificant seats in the Legislature of Ohio. Mr. Williams of Ohio I object to the gentleman calling the Ohio Legislature insignificant, because it elected a New York man United States Senator. Laughter. Mr. Spinola That was because it knew whereto find a good man. Laughter. Mr. Miller of South Carolina said what the negroes need was not so much office as it was protection at home in their rights, cbiefest among which was the right to live. If they got an elections bill South Carolina would have six or seven Republicans here. . The committee then proceeded to consider the army bill by sections. Mr. Bland of Missouri ottered an amendment provid ing that nothing of the appropriation for the pay of the army shall be paid to officers detailed to State colleges and institutions. This was ruled out on a point of order, from which ruling Mr. Bland appealed, pending which the committee rose and the bouse adjourned. THAT ALLEGED SILVER, FOOL. Its InTestlgation Placed In ths Hand of m Special Committee 'of the House. Washington', Jan. 12. In the House today Mr. Dockery, rising to a question of privilege, offered a resolution reciting the fact of the reference of his "silver pool" resolution item to the committee on rules, and that the fact that that committee had refused to report the same and directing the committee on rules to report the resolbtion to the House for its consideration. Mr. Mills of Texas contended' that the original resolution referred to the dignity and integrity of the members of the House. The House did not lose jurisdiction of the question because it referred its consideration to one of the committees. It was a question for the House to determine whether it should recall the subject. There was no doubt as to the power of the House, The question was one of propriety, and this question must be considered with reference to the length of time that the resolution had been before the committee. The resolution had been referred on the first day of the session. The session was now half gone and nothing had been done. The House ought not to adjourn until it had exculpated the innocent and placed condemnation where it rightfully belonged. Mr. Adams of Illinois argued that the argument did not. under the rules, involve a question of privilege. Mr. Crisp of Georgia said that there was no express rule authorizing the discharge of the committee, but this was not an ordinary case. The original resolution was unquestionably a question of the highest privilege. If the committee refused to report the resolution a motion to discharge was privileged. Tho Speaker inquired whether the gentleman believed that the original resolution was one of privilege. Mr. Crisp replied that he had assumed that the Speaker had so held. The Speaker stated that he had not. On the contrary, in a somewhat similar case, he had ruled, and the House had sastained his ruling, that the resolution did not present a question of privilege. - Mr. Heard of Missouri said it was just to the Missouri delegation that the investigation be ordered, inasmuch as the newspaper article on which the resolution was based said that one member of that delegation was a member of the "pool." The Speaker said that he had ruled upon a question somewhat similar to this on a resolution presented by Mr. Oates ox Ala bama, reciting various newspaper allega tionsand bad pointed out the incon venience which would result to the business of the House if a resolution reciting allegations not fortified by a members per sonal benefit should be held to be one of privilege. The Chair desired that in this case the matter should be disposed of by the House, and be therefore submitted the question as to whether or not the pending resolution was one of privilege. The Hooe decided yeas. 148; nays, 60 that the question was one of privilege. Mr. AlcKinlev said that when the resolu tion was referred to the committee on rules the committee supposed that it was re lerred to it for a purpose, not simply to ascertain whether there was such a publi cation as was alleged, but for the purpose ox ascertaining wnetner there was any foundation for the acensation. No names had been mentioned: no member of the House had been designated: no distinct charge had been made against any memoer. me committee bad gone to work to find out whether there was any basis for the allegation. The mover of the resolu tion had disclaimed Any personal know ledge of the matter. The two correspondents of the St, Louis Ci lobe-Democrat had refused to make any statement or even to ay who was tne author of the article on which the resolution was founded. The committee had had the intention to go to the bottom of the matter and to ascertain facts enough to justify a recommendation to the House. It had presumed that tho House wanted to know whether the committee had information enough to justify an investigation. From the very first he had desired to have this matter opened up and thoroughly investigated. Mr. Dockery The gentleman has always expressed himself to that ellect. INVESTIGATION INVITED lY M'KINLEY. Mr. Mc Kin ley, continuing, said that he desired only that the action of the committee should be understood. There had been

no purpose from the beginning to suppress an investigation. God knew he invited investigations. Gentlemen must so conduct themselves that they would be ever ready for an investigation committee. Applause. It was easy to make charges in newspapers. It was an easy thing to put a paragraph on the wires to the effect that this was a corrupt and venal body. That was done over and over again. As a member on this floor for tifteen years, if he were called upon to designate a member who could be bribed or bought, he could not do so, for he knew no such man. All he wanted to do was to set the committee right. Mr. Dockery said that he had no personal knowledge whatever that any member on this floor was connected with the silver rool prior to the passage of the silver bill, lis reason for ottering the resolution was that certain charges had been made by the correspondents of the Globe-Democrat men of acknowledged credit and ability. The situation was this: The statement had been made by Mr. Conger, and his statement would be corroborated by at least one other gentleman I Mr. Grosvenor) that a silver pool bad existed pending the passage of the silver bill. He Mr. Dockcry 1 had no interest in this matter further than the interest of every gentleman on the floor. The newspaper article reflected upon the integrity of the proceedings of the House; and the House owed it to itself to make this investigation. If the charges were false that ongbt to be established to the conntiy: if they were true, the Honse and tho country had the right to know the names of the Senators and KenreEentatives who prostituted their official positions to

.personal gain. If there were such, in the words of an eminent American, 4 Let no. guilty man escape." Mr. Rogers of Arkansas offered an amendment to the Dockery resolution providing for the appointment of a special committee of Ave members to inquire into all the facts and circumstances connected with silver pools in which Senators and "Representatives are alleged to be interested; also, as to the alleged purchase and sale of silverprior to and since the passage of the act of July 14. 1800, including the names of the persons purchasing or selling the same and who aro the ownersof the 12,000,000 of silver bullion which the United States is now asked to purchase. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio said that it was due to the committee on rules and to himself that he should make a brief statement. Some days ago Mr. Dockery had come to him and asked him whether he had heard a statement made by Mr. Conger when he had taken his seat after making the speech alluded to. He I Mr. Grosvenorj had replied m the affirmative. Mr. Dockery had asked if Mr. Conger had made the direct charge that he had been solicited to enter a silver pool. He had replied that Mr. Conger had made a direct charge. A day or two afterwards Mr. McKinley had come to him and asked whether he had made such a statement to Mr. Dockery, and he had answered that he had. In reply to a further question by Mr. McKinley he had stated that Mr. Conger had mentioned the name of no member of Congress. Mr. McKinley had asked him to appear before the committee on rules, aid he had expressed his perfect willingness to do so. He came to the Capitol this morning for the purpose of doing so; but he arrived so late that the members of the committee had left. He thought that this statement was due to the committee on rules. Mi. Rogers's amendment was agreed to. and the resolution as amended was agreed to. INTERNA! REVENUE RECEIPTS. No Decrease Anticipated as a Result of the McKinley Law Changes Recommended. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 12. Tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue says the receipts during the quarter year just closed were much greater than that in any other year, and he does not anticipate an appreciable lessening of internal receipts in the future, notwithstanding the McKinley tariff law makes a heavy cut in the tobacco tar, and the law will entirely ab olish the special wholesale and retail taxes for dealers after May 1 next. The increase of duties upon Sumatra wrappers and foreign-made cigars, it is believed by the Commissioner, will not materially reduce tne receipts from imports. There will be, of course, a material reduction of internal revenue by the abolition of the special taxes, but the increase upon imported cigar s has already increased the domestic manufactures, and from tnat direction, it is believed, the reductions by the abolition of the special taxes will be overcome. Secretary Windom has sent to the House of Representatives, with favorable recommendations, a letter from the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue, recommending certain amendments to the law relating to the tax on tobacco. He recommends that Section S393, relative to labels and notices on cigars, be amended by the addition thereto of a provision giving the manufacturer the option of branding or printing as well as pasting the cantion label by-lawou all boxes of cigars. Herecommends that Section 3394, Revised Statutes, be amended so as to provide taxes as follows: On cigars, cheroots and cigarettes of all descriptions, made of tobacco or any substitute therefor, weighing not more than live poundsper thousand, $1 per thousand; on cigars, cheroots and cigarettes of all descriptions, weighing not leas than five pounds nor more than fifteen pounds per thousand, $3 per thousand, and upon each additional live pounds or part thereof, a further tax of $1 per thousand. - The Commissioner also recommends that upon sample boxes containiugeither twelve or thirteen cigars each the tax be 4 cents on every box. The Commissioner says it is an exceedingly difficult matter for a manufacturer to produce an all-tobacco (wrapper and tiller) cigarette on the three-pound limitation, hence the output of such is limited and the country is Hooded with the paper cigarettes. TOO MANY TECHNICALITIES. How Murderers May Escape Punishment by Appeals to the Supreme Court. Washington, Jan. 12. Mr. .Vest introduced in the Senate to-day, by request, a bill to repeal the act amending Section 764 of the Revised Statutes as to appeals to the Supreme Court, and made an explanation in regard to it. This explanation was to the effect that a New York judge had refused the writ of habeas corpus in tho case of the Japanese Jnigoro, under sentence of death by electricity, and that therefore an appeal had been taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, which appeal has been decided against the prisoner, and that the attorney for the prisoner had applied for another writ of habeas corpus to the same court and claimed that he could bring up an appeal on a writ of habeas corpus as often as he could find a new ground of application. His own judgment as a lawyer was that no further legislation on the subject was necessary. Tho judge before whom the last application for the writ of habeas corpus came had held that the statute was mandatory and that he was compelled to grant an appeal to the Supreme Court whenever a ground was alleged different from that formerly presented in the petition. So that the result was inevitable, if that decision was correct, that a sentence of death could be absolutely defeated by continued appeals to the Supreme Court, which would last during the prisoner's natural life and would be only limited by th ingenuity of his lawyer. His IMr. est'sj'own idea was that a writ of habeas corpus brought up the legality of the coufinment, and if a lawyer saw proper only to advance one ground for the writ, and if it turned out that other grounds were found, a motion for a rehearing would bring np the matter; but he did not think that any legislation on the subject was necessary. Tbe New York press. Mr. Vest added, had discussed the question to so great an extent and had produced such a popular impression that Congress had passed a law which enabled a anilty man. under sentence of death, to escape through technicalities and through the ingenuity of counsel, that he thought the matter ought to go to the judiciary committee. He therefore moved the reference of the bill to that committee. It was so referred. MINOR MATTERS. Coming Fight in the Senate Over Precedence of Measures. Special to tne Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 12. There will be a lively scrimmage in the Senate over an order of business immediately after the finance bill is disposed of on Wednesday, unless the Republicans in caucus agree upon a programme. Senator Hoar ia determined to resume consideration of the elections bill if enough signatures are secured

to his paper, pledging votes for resumption of consideration of that bill, to get it up again. Senator Paddock has announced again that as soon as tbe finance bill is out of the way he will demand consideration of his pure-food, the Congar lard and other bills from the committeo'on agriculture, while Senator Hale says he mnst have the apportionment bill passed without further delay, and Mr. Piatt wants the international copyright bill acted upon in advance of the squabble over the elections bill. It looks now as though the fight for precedence, involving a number of important measures, will result in further postponement of the elections bill. t The Surplus Needed for Pensions. Washington, Jan. 12. Secretary Windom is authority for the statement that the growing treasury surplus cannot now be used in the purchase of four-per-cent. bonds, for the reason that it will be needed to meet pension payments, duenext month, aggregating $25,000,000. Secretary Windom is of opinion that the business of the conntry would be improved by making these pension payments monthly, instead of quarterly, and has made a recommendation to that effect to the proper congressional committee, i Later in the day Secretary Windom explained that by changing from quarterly to monthly payments he meant merely to so alter the system as to provide that in the future all the payments shall be made throughout the country on ditlerent months, and in that way make payments every month instead of only every quarter as at present. Proposed Statue of the Late President Arthur. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 12. The friends of the late President Arthur intend to erect a bronze statue in his honor, either in front of the custom-house or in one of the parks of New York, or else in the city of Washington. They will do this with the money that was left unexpended from tho funds subscribed for the erection of a monument over his grave in the cemetery at Albany. It is a rather curious fact that while few funds have been raised for the proposed statues to Generals Logan, Hancock and Sheridan, and while the people of New York will find such great difficulty in getting tbe money for a monument to Grant, the monument for President Arthur was erected according to the original plans, and $25,000 remained unexpended after paying all bills. Senator Quay's Elections Bill. Washington, Jan. 12. Senator Quay today introduced a bill entitled an act to pre-' vent force and fraud in federal elections, and to insure the lawful and peaceful conduct thereof. ' The principal point of difference between the bill and the Hoar bill is in the last section of the bill, which is as follows: "When it shall appear to the satisfaction of the President of the United States that, in any locality, the provisions of this law cannot otherwise be executed, it shall be his duty, and he is hereby empowered to suspend there the writ of habeas corpus and to employ the armed forces of the United States, naval and military, for its enforcement and for the protection of the officers whose duties are herein provided for." ' . No Money for Dr. Mary Walker. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 12. The Senate committee cu military affairs has finally refused to take into consideration tne bill to

give Dr. Mary Walker $10,000 for services rendered during the war as an assistant surgeon. The Doctor once enjoyed a pension of $30 a month, but she became dissatisfied and wanted 50. The committee, in making an investigation into her claims, came to the conclusion that she was not entitled to any pension, and her allowance was cut off entirely. Confirmations by the Senate. Washington, Jan. 12. The Senate, in secret session, to-day confirmed the following nominations: Horace C. Pugh, of Indiana, consul of the United States at Palermo; Orestes G. Bailey, register of the land office at Bloomington, Neb. Illinois postmasters: J. C. Martindale, at Fulton; J. Q. Adams, at Marengo; T. J. Hunting, Momence; J. F, Parkinson, at Savannah; tmd T.

To Increase Their Pay to m Gold Basis. Washington, Jan. 12, Representative Kelley of Kansas to-day introduced in the Honse a bill to pay the federal soldiers of the late war the difference between the coin value and the face value of the money xeceived by them for services, and to au thorize the Secretary to issue a sufficient amount of money to meet the requirements of the act. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 12 Austin J. Gilbert and Schuyler S. Symms, of Indiana, have been appointed copyists in the Pension Office at $900 a year. Lawrence Burgett, of Terre Haute; W. W. Kerr, of Fort Wayne; Thomas J.' Lord, of Dillsborough, and Jas. G. Miles, of Danville, Ind., have been admitted to practice before the Interior Department. General Browne was in his seat in the House to-day for the lirst time during this session. He is suffering from a cold, but says he feels better than he has for some time.

ATTACKED BY PARNELLITES

Timothy Healy and a Party of McCarthyites Assaulted in Ireland. Money Matters the Question in Dispute Now Between Parnell and O'Brien-Europe Still in the Throes of a Cold -Wave. IIEALY almost mobbed. Hooted and Struck on the Head jy His Opponents ParneH's Assertions Denied. Londox, Jan. 12. Messrs. Timothy Healy, Arthur O'Connor and Kenny arrived Saturday night at Nenagh, Tipperary county, Ireland. Their reception in the town was of a mixed character. Tho Parnellites were out in force and they hooted vigorously at Mr. Healy and his companions. It is said that Healy was struck on the headwith a stick, but received a trilling injury. Speaking at a meeting yesterday Mr. Healy complained that all the sewage of Parnellism was poured out upon him because be insisted upon the question being threshed on tho original cause of the demand for ParneH's retirement. Mr. Parnell, he said, was playing Mr. Chamberlain's game in Limerick by declaring that Mr. Gladstone would give nothing that would satisfy Ireland. The meeting was much disturbed by the Parnellites in the crowd. The London Daily News declares that Mr. ParneH's assertions in his speech at Limerick in regard to the letter sent by hi in to Cecil Rhodes were incorrect. The letter to Mr. Rhodes, it says, was written in 1S88, and therefore forms no proof in the matter at issue. Regarding Mr. O'Brien tbe News says: "With the best intentions in tne world he has played Paru ell's game. A few more services of the same kind and Mr. O'Brien may return to Ireland without the slightest danger of being arrested.1' "Mr. ParneH's concluding ofter' adds the News, "is an impudent oiler to reopen negotiations already finally closed.1' "Wherein Farnell and O'Brien Differ. Paris, Jan. 12. The Figaro to-day announces that the political difficulty which existed between Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien has been settled, and that the only question remaining between them is of a financial natnre. Mr. O'Brien, it appears, is convinced that Mr. ParneH's prestige in the United States is not lessened, and that the subscriptions of the Irish-Americans will always be forthcoming for tne old leaders. Mr.' McCarthy authorizes a denial of a reEort that serious differences arose at the oulogne conference. He says that the statement that the McCarthy ites demanded Mr. O'Brien's unqualified support of their leader, and O'Brien repelled their demand, thus leaving a loop-hole for ParneH's return, is a pure invention. Mr. O'Brien also declares that all reports' representing the conference between himself and Messrs. McCarthy and Sexton of a violent character are pure fabrications. He says that not a single word of reproach was uttered from the beginning to the end of the consultations,which throughout were of the friendliest and most hopeful character. EUROPE'S COLD WAVE. England Still Suffering from Low Temperature Hungry Wolves on the Continent. London, Jan. 12. Throughout England intensely cold weather continues to prevail. In addition, dense fogs prevail, but there has been no more snow. In the Hebrides, or Western islands, the temperature registered 50. The continent in still suffering from snow-storms so severe that several express trains between Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin and Vienna have been snowed np. The mails have been considerably delayed throughout Europe. On Saturday the German Emperor drove In a sleigh over the river Havel to Potsdam. The ice was thirteen inches thick, and the Emperor, upon arriving at Potsdam, ordered the troops of the garrison, including the artillery, to turn out and exercise at crossing the ice. The severity of the weather is causing wolves to become dangerously hungry, especially in the case of those which are beginning to infest the woods near many villages in the northern part of Hungary. Bears have appeared in the Styrian mountains. , The Seine and other French rivers are frozen, except in mid-stream. At Epihal the thermometer is 4 below zero. Fahrenheit. The harbor of Geneva is frozen over for the first time since 1S35, and all navigation is stopped. GENEItAI FOREIGN NEWS. Disastrous Avalanche In Bosnia Bodies of Seventeen Victims Recovered. Vienna, Jan. 12. Information received here from Serajevo, the capital of Bosnia, shows that a serious disaster has visited Livno. An avalanche crashed down from the mountains close by that place, and a number of houses in the town were buried in the snow. The immense mass of snow crushed the houses upon which it fell, and their ocennants were buried in the rums of their dwellings. .Attempts were immediately made to recover the bodies of the dead and to extricate the living. So far the rescuers have succeeded in recovering the bodies of seventeen persons who were crushed to death. In addition to the dead they have removed a number of persons who are severely injured. Bismarck on Past and Present Events. Berlin, Jan. 12. In the latest Bismarck interview, accorded to Herr Max Bower, a German journalist, the ex-Chancellor, after speaking of his early education and declaring that the philosophy of Spinosy influenced him moro than that of Pegel, told Herr Bower how he gradually became a lawyer, enjoyed himself as a student at the beer-tables and on the f encing-iloor, and declared that he had unlimited confidence in Baron Wissmann, who, he said, never caused Germany - any difliculties. The Prince thought that Emin Pasha was. perhaps, a more clever man than Wissmann. but, he added, he lacks the animal energy necessary for dealing with African matters. Prince Bismarck referred to Zanzibar as "fruit that would nave fallen ripe into our laps had England ever needed our diplomatic assistance. Zanzibar with its bankers, excellent harbors and civilization, cannot be replaced by Bagamoyo. The Czar failed to make a Konigsberg of Libau, nor was Denmark able to make a Hamburg of Gluckutadt." Scotland's Railway Strike. Glasgow, Jan. 12. -Another week of the railroad strike has commenced with no material change in the situation. During the past few days there have been several minor accidents on the railroads, and, though they do, not seem to be due to the inexperience of tbe new hands employed in place of the strikers, the latter will make capital out of them. The Caledonian railway is now folly manned with new men. The centers of the disaffection are at Edinburgh. Port Aberdeen, Stirling and Dundee. The position of the North British railroad is still very bad. and it seems more than probable that this road will lose a considerable portion of its traffic, and that the Caledonian road will be the gainer by it. It Was Padlewski After AIL Madrid, Jan. 12. The latest information given out by tbe police oQicials. acccrdiug to dispatches received from Olot, is to the effect that the man arrested on suspicion of being tbe murderer of Seliverskoff is really Padlewski. The prisoner is said to correspond in appearance exactly with the description of the murderer given out by the French detectives. It is also said that the man arrested admits that he committed the murder, adding that it was for a "political object." lie says that he failed in his plan to embark for the United States at Barcelona owing to the passport regulations being so strictly enforced at that port.

Eightylive per cent, of the deposits will be returned forthwith. The Credit Foncier applied for the whole amount of the loan, and the Credit Lyonnaise for double the amount. Electrlc-Llght Strokes. London, Jan. 12. An eminent oculist here has' been treating a bad case of apoplexy, which adds terror to life and goes to show that electric light is capable of causing a malady similar to sunstroke. The phenomenon is new here, but familiar to Frenchmen of science. At Breuzat coal mines and iron-works, where electric lights of high power are used, there have been several cases similar to that which we have noticed above. - Our Friends in Germany. Berlin, Jan. 12. Freiesigne party, on the suggestion of Herr Barth, has resolved to nropose in the Reichstag that the prohibition against the importation of American bacon be abolished. Cable notes. Twenty-five houses have been burned in the Cuban village of Bolondron; no deaths.

The Zetland-Balfour fund raised for the relief of the suffering poor of Ireland now amounts to $100,000. American doctors in Berlin have tendered a banquet to Minister Phelps, for his energy in securing Koch lymph for them. The banquet was declined. Dr. Tanner, M. P., threatens Parnell with a libel suit, the former believing his standing as a physician has been impaired by references in Pa mail's recent speeches. Tne London Chronicle's correspondent at Home says that on the occasion of the beatification of Christopher Columbus the Pope will address a pastoral letter to tho Catholio bishops of Italy and America. The late Professor Schlieuiann bequeathed to Emperor William some valuable ancient i'ewelry. During his visit to Athens the Emperor expressed his admiration of the jewelry, and Professor Shliemann desired his Majesty to accept it as a present, but this the Emperor declined to do on the 5 round that it was better suited for a 'rojan palace than for his own.

A Flute Tradition. Chicago News. The Piute Indians have a tradition that extends back they know uot bow far into "tbe long ago" of an Indian of giant stature who gave them trouble. They s:iy that tbe giant warrior came fror? thif north. He took np his abode near Pyramid lake and made war on the Piutes, killing many of their men. The giant was finally slain by a Piute David, who crept np behind him and drove a poisoned arrow into his body between the shoulder-blades. Two or three of the giant's tracks and his grave are shown to this day. The tracks are near tbe Truckee river, between Wadsworth and Pyramid lake. -They are in 6oft sandstone, and are still kept clear of sand and soil. Every Indian that passes the spot stoops and sweeps out any dirt that may have lodged in the big tracks. The giant's grave is not far from where the tracks are seen. The grave is always kept clear of vegetation; any grass or weeds seen growing on it are pulled up by tho roots. In this way tbe spot has always been kept marked. Tbe Indians also have a tradition of huge animals that roamed the country. Thy ay these animals had horns with which they were able to uproot trees. To rid themselves of the great beast the vrbole l'iuto tribe turned oat, surrounded tho herd and drove them into Pyramid lake, where all were drowned. Even now, wben tbe lake is rough and black waves are seen rolling about far out from shore, tbe Indians point to the waves and say they are the backs of monster beasts. . m m Natural Mistake.
