CAUCUSES OF NO USE. No Settlement Is Yet Made of the Ejections Bill. The Senate met at 11 a. m., on the 19th, thoroughly refreshed and ready for a renewal of the great election bill contest. Senator Blair, fresh from his New HampShire defeat, was in his seat, and so also was Ingalls, who was reported to have gone to Kansas. There was a very full attendance on both sides, ami the galleries, in anticipation of hot work before the day was out, were well filled* It was evident from the talk of the Senators that there would be no more night sessions. All-night sessions have never been popular in the Senate, and there are several Senators who will positively refuse to repeat the performance of ttie 16th. Senator Cullom presented to |fc|j|^^pnate thirty-five petitions in favor ^*^^^Mporrey bankrupt bill from about eminent business houses in Chicago, of these firms heretofore protested against the' enactment of the bill, but are now urging its immediate passage. The election bill was taken up as the unfinished business, and Mr. George took the floor in opposition to the measure. After a statement of the action of several States on the subject of negro suffrage (after it had been Imposed on the S mth) Mr. George remarked that In Michigan, Ohio. Illinois and Wisconsin the question had been submitted

Wisconsin tnc question uau neen sunm it t ell to the people and had been rejected by large majorities. He'asserted that the Constitution of the State of Oregon, adopted in 1857, contained provisions prohibiting the immigration of negroes and their settlement In the State, and. in fact, outlawing them, and he asked Mr. Dolph whether those provisions had been changed. Mr. Dolph said the Constitution in question had been framed when Oregon was hopelessly Democratic. The constitution had not since been amended, Mr. George—Then 1 understand that those provisions are, physically in the constitution of Oregon? Mr. Dolph—Does the Senator mean to state that they are to-day the expression of the judgment of the people of Oregon? Mr. George — Oh. no; but they are the expression of the judgment of the people of Oregon at t hat time, and the people of Oregon have not seen proper to recall them in the same solemn and formal manner. Mr. George yielded Mie floor while the Vice President laid before the Senate the message from the President transmitting the agreement made with the Crow Indians for the sale of the western part of their reservation in Montana. He afterward resumed hi; speech, but, without concluding, yielded for a motion to go into executive session, and th Senate soon adjourned. Refits; tithe Mnndannu. Mandamus proceedings were brought some time since before Judge Buckner’s court, at Baton Rouge, by Mr. John A. Morris to compel the Secretary of State to officially promulgate the lottery amendment passed by the last session of the Legislature. The case was submitted without argument, and each side submitted authorities, the understanding being that the matter would go finally to the Supreme Court of the State, no matu-r what might be the decision of the lower court. Judge Buckner lias handed down his decision, refusing the mandamus. John A. Morris’ attorney will now appeal to the Supreme Court which will finally settle the matter. This is considered another black eye for the lottery people. Went t*> th* Wall. The American National Bank of Kansas City has suspended. The bank had a capital of §1,250,000. a surplus of §500,000 and undivided profits of §70,060. It was the leading eonce-n of its kind west of St. Louis, and has been regarded as impregnable. It was a member of the Kansas City Clearing House and carried on a special department for bank and mercantile collections through which its ramifi; ations were extended throughout the Southwest. School ChiWrcn in Peril. The presence of mind displayed by the teachers of Shaw School, in St. Louis, averted what would otherwise have developed into a panic, with, perhaps, loss of life among the pupils. Fire was discovered hi the basement by the janitor, who immediately gave the a’arm. The children became greatly excited, but, under the excellent management of the principal, Mrs. Naurie. were all got out in safety. Tie pecuniary loss will be onlj’ §3,000. Wh°at Quoted Higher. The Mark Lane Express in its weekly review of the British grain trade, says: English wheats were fid dearer, a’though the inquiry was slack. Foreign wheat was firm. The cessation of Russian wheat shipments was met by increased arrivals from India and America. At Liverpool corn advanced Id per cental, and at Loyds it went up cd per quarter. Barley rose fid.

EVENTS OF TIIE WEEK. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The New York Court of Appeals has sent back for a new trial the conspiracy case of ex-Sheriff Flack, of New York City, and his son. The charge was that Flack and his son with others had by । conspiracy obtained a divorce for ox? Sheriff James A. Flack. Two of the seven judges di sent from the decision. Judge Andrews, writing the opinion, held that Judge Barrett erred in his charge to the jury by invading tha province of the jury and that in conspiracy the intent must be shown to constitute crime. WESTERN HAPPENINGS.

The Illinois Auxiliary Association of Expert Judges of Swine convened at g Springfield and spent the day in scoring the sow Queen Maud, owned by Correll & Coffman, of Mechanicsburg, and in ’ examining the class on the scores made. About fifty swine-breeders were present . from different parts of the State. The i Swine Breeders’ Institute met and listen- > ed to papers and discussions upon technical subjects by J. F. McGinnis, of Morton; 1). W. Sword, of Lanark; Jas. Hankinson, of Maroa; and O. M. Rowe and Phil AI. Springer, of Springfield. Proceedings have, been begun in the United States Court at Sioux Falls, S. D., for the appointment of a receiver for the Bank of Canton, which has got into deep water, and was closed by the officers. The bank has §50,000 capital. 'The petitioners allege that Charles 11. Kennedy, the President, fraudulently mismanaged the affairs of the bank and that the bank is insolvent, and fliat I Kennedy a. few days ago called the di- I rectors, a majority of whom lived in ' Canton, together, and that, they passed a resolution relieving him from individual indorsement on a large Quantity of paper.

At last, it is claimed the Mount Car- j mol air ship is a fact. It will be taken I to Chicago and exhibited in the Exp’osi- I tion Building. The buoyancy chamber I is twenty-four feet long and six and a : half in diameter. The ship, with the propellers, rudders, etc., is thirty feet in length. The inventors have a con- i tract with James A. Fanning and others j to exhibit it for twelve weeks They are to recehe §IOO.OOO. It is to fly around in the Exposition Building and carry j two passengers. It will go by express. A car is being changed for that pur- , pose, as it cannot be put in a car door. i • The affairs of the Northwestern Auto- । graphic Register Company of St. I'aul, ! organized last September with a capital stock of §300,000, are to be wound up at once, some of the stockholders having Im*gun legal proceedings to find out just how far they are liable for its debts. Louis 11. Maxfield, the manager of the company, has been driven insane over its failure and sent away to a sanitarium at Battle Creek Mich., almost a total physical as well as mental wreck. Edward Ross, President of the Peo- j plc’s National Bank of Independence, lowa, died at his home in that city a few j days ago. He was born in Vermont in I 1828, and moved to Independence in 1857, where he had been ever since. He was one of the organizers of the People’s Bank in 1874, and had always been its President. His brother. Jonathan Ross, is Chief Justice of Vermont. A few nights ago officers of the three stove manufactories of Detroit tin* Peninsular, the Michigan, and the De-troit-met to listen to a proposition from Robert Bliss of New York City and W. A. Vincent of Springfield. 111., agents of certain capitalists interested in some of the largest stove factories if the conn- ■ try, to enter into a trust or “eoml ina- I tion,” as they put it, which they are try- ; ing to organize. If the agreement made | is adhered to. it means without much doubt that there will bo no trust, for Detroit is the stovc-manufacturing een- ; ter if the world, and a trust without representation there would really be no i trust at all. Alt, night a big council of all the hos- j tiles was held that lasted until morning i This council agreed to the following: The young men promised to give up all their guns to their chiefs, who are to I bring them to the agent. The men ■ promise to see that the children are ' sent 1 ack to school at once. The chiefs ! promised to restrain the young men and to arrest them if necessary ■ and put them the the agency guard-house. In the morning 127 guns. : many of them excellent Winchesters, were brought in, and more are being col- | ected. Kicking Hear and Short Bull personally presented their guns to Gen- I eral Miles. The war spirit has died out. \ The Indians have every confidence in j General Miles and are satisfied, so long as his hand controls them. They tiro at I last really disarming themselves and the j war is over permanently, if Miles is backed up by Congress The legislative committee of the State Farmers’ Alliance while in session at St. : Paul aviong other things propo ed to es- j tablish a State agricultural bureau, be- j lieving that enough can be saved from ‘ the retrenchment in other departments I to run this bureau, which is to furnish I farmers facts relative to the grading and i shipping of grain. At Leavenworth, Kan., the police ! commissioners discharged Chief of Police 1 Dan McFarland and Policemen James I Robertson and James Sutton for collect- I ing “hush” money from “joint” keepers, i Between 400 and 500 pounds of , opium, valued at about §7,000, was ; sci.ed at Oakland, while being taken ' aboard the ferryboat for San Francisco | in an express wagon. All the buildings on the east side of j Main street, Horton, Kan., have been I destroyed by fire. Total loss, §200,000. i One woman was killed and several I others injured by an explosion of sewer i gas on State street in Chicago. Near Valley Station, Col., Ranchman ! Beardsley was found in his cabin with a bullet hole through his brain. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. A concurrent resolution has passed the lower house of the Arkansas Legislature for the appointment of a committee to investigate the books of Treasurer Woodruff, who is said to be §96,000 behind in his funds. The case, of R. M. King on a writ of habeas corpus came up at Memphis, Tenn., the other day. The case is of national importance, as it involves the constitutionality of Sabbath laws, and will finally reach the United States Supreme Court. King is a Seventh Day I

Adventist and was arrested in Obion • County for plowing on Sunday. H o was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of §75. Ho appealed to the Supreme Court of the State, which s j tribunal confirmed the decision, and y King was committed to jail in default of . । payment. The National Religious Libs i erty Association, of which King is a ’ member, undertook to fight the case, and " I employed Don M. Dickinson of Detroit r . I and Col. T. E. Richardson of Dyersburg to get it into the Federal Court. Habeas ’ I corpus proceedings were instituted. Mr ' Dickinson spoke for three hours and made ' a strong argument. The question before the court was not on the constitutionality , of Sabbath laws, which will be adjudicated In the United States Supreme Court, but Mr. Dickinson contended that his client was illegally convicted, j n violation of Art. 1 of the fourteenth 1 amendment, by being mprisoned withI* out due process of law. Mhichcvei way : the ease goes an appeal will be taken to I the United States Supreme Court. 1 A terrific gale has swept! hesapeake Bay, and a number of wrecks are ij^ ' ported. On the upper bay two I’hil^ dolphin schooners were driven into floip^ I ing ice and cut through. Both vessr« ■ ' sank so quickly that the crows, coi save, nothing but their lives. Sevei | i men were nearly frozen before thjll® j reached the shore. A dozen or miA?,T I small oyster craft went ashore at diffin’ j ent points on the bay.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. I Mt:. M vNsfR of Missouri lias Introtrodueed in the House of Reprcsenta- . lives a bill to throw open the Cherokee Strip. Mr Mansur said in explanation of the bill that the Cherokee Commission was hopeless of coming to an agreement with the Cherokees, and therefore the measure was introduc' d. The bill reI cites the law by which the Government ( has a right to take the land and pay the Indians 47 49-10 > cents an acre, but h ' waives the right and agrees to Day §1.25. ■ ; of th;* amount paid, ^5,000.000 is to re- I I main in trust drawing interest at 6 per j ' cent., and §2,700,000 is to be distributed 1 ' among the Cherokees entitled thereto under treaty stipulation. This would i । give the lndlans§ios per capita. lnr President and Mis. Harri-on wa-re the guests of honor, the other night, at , ' a dinner given by S nator and Mrs. I land Stanford.

Prof. Koch’-; report describing the ; I composition of his lymph is comparative-1 ly brief. It says the lymph consists of a ■ glycerine extract derived from the pure j cultivation of the tubercle bacilli. Prof, j Koch says: Since publishing, two months ago. the re- * j suits of my experiment-, with the new rem- i i edy for tuberculosis, many physicians who j received the preparation have been enabled > I to become acquainted with ks properties i 1 through their own experiments. So far as j I have been able to review the statements | ' published and the communications received ; by letter, my indications have been fully ; | and completely confirmed. The general i । consensus of opinion is that t lie remedy has a I specific cfTect upon t übvrcular t i^ues, :« n I j 1 therefore, applicable as a very delicateaud I i sure agent for discovering latent and diag- | I nosing doubtful tuberculosis processes. Re- I i garding the curative effects of the remedy, j I most reports agree that, despite the coni- | I paratively short duration of its application, | j many patients have shown more or less I | pronounced improvement. It has been I ; affirmed that, in not a few cases, even a I cure has been established. Standing quite I by itself is the assertion that Hie remedy | ! may not only be dangerous in cases which j ' have advanced too far—-a fact which may I j forthwith be conceded—but also that it ( I actually promotes tuberculous process, | being therefore injurious. A violent snowstorm prevails in ; I Madrid, and the weather throughout i Spain is extremely cold. In the Malaga I district jackals are playing sad havoc । with the Hocks. In fact, the jackals i are, appearing in such numbers that < they arc terrifying the peasants. The snow in the northern sections of the country is already live feet deep in many places. , POLITICAL PORRIDGE. Richard J. Oglesby is for the second time in his life the candidate of the Republican party of Illinois for a scat in the Senate of the United States. His nomination was made on the first regular ballot of the Senatorial can- i cus at Springfield. Ho received I more votes than were neces- ! sary to make him the choice |

of the party, and on the motion of Senator Charles IL Crawford the nomination of Gov. Oglesby was made unani-i inous. 'l’he result was not unexpected—j in fact, litt'e or no surprise was ex-i pressed at the result. Senator Farwell was opposed by the farmers becaus * ho was a millionaire, and the farmers were mainly instrumental in defeating him. The Nebraska Senate has passed a resolution recognizing James Boyd as Governor. The California Assembly has balloted for United States Senator to succeed Leland Stanford. 'Lhe vote in the House resulted: Stanford (Rep.), 59; Stephen White, of Los Angeles (Deni ), 18. In tho Senate the vote was: Stanford, 27; White, 12. Tho Legislature wi.l declare the election in joint, session. FRESH AND NEWSY. Mr. Russell B. Harrison, son of tho President, lias just returned to New York from a visit to several Western States. He was asked what the , people of tho West thought of the “ silver measure before the Senate. ' He said: “’Hie silver question is agitating the West, like a national campaign. . Every one is interested and discusses measure before the Senate in an |h»*nest way. 1 visited several States, I 4d those I saw favored a free coinage ji’iibasure provided it was restricted to tho |sg£hited States. That will introduce some I ^>,000,900 more ounces of silver into cir- ) dilation and will not disturb values to J^nv appreciable extent ” steamship Oceanic, which lias <1 just arrived in San Francisco from Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu, made the passage in seventeen days and six hours, including stops, which is the fastest time on record for trip. A dispatch from Yalparaiso states that the ( hilian men of-vvar have given notice that they would begin a blockade of the Port of Iquiquo Jan. 20. The importation of provisions into Iquiqno lias a'ready b.-<-n stopped. Additional dispatches saj-Hint the rebels have declared the ports of ( hili blockaded in order to interrupt the nitrate trade. When th;* tariff changes were announced last year Canada pork-packers estimated that th;* duty imposed on pork would be something like SC> per barrel, and this they thought would enable them to compete successfully with their American confreres, but their success lias n>t materialized, and ■ its failure to do so is allege I to 1 Jic due t-> the interpretation of the ' tariff by the Minister’of Ju-tice. 'Lhe packer- maintain that it was the Gov- ! eramenfs intention to have all pork but j mess, which was to pay one and one- | ha’f cent- per jound, pay three cents per pound, but that through an oversight the sch duh*, instead of reading mess pork, r *ad -imply pork one and j one-half cent-.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS. MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At tlie Nation’s Capital—What Is Being Done by the Senate and House—Old Matters Disposed Or and New Ones Considered. In the Senate, on the 15th, the joint resolution suspending for another year from March 29 next the act requiring steamers to carry life-saving appliances was repoi’ted and placed on the calendar. Mr. VV asliburn introduced a bill to credit O. M. l* iira "?*-y'Postmaster at Minneapolis, with §1a,115, tlie value of postage stamps stolen from his office in July, DBj. Mr. Manderson introduced a bill to establish a branch mint at Omaha, Neb., and Mr. Mc‘'or,l><ll one for a mint at Boise City, Idaho. Mr. Morgan offered a preamble and concurrent resolution on the subject of tlie recent information or suggestion for a writ of prohibition hi the Supreme Court In connection with the Behring Sea dispute with Great Britain. Tlie resolution declares such pioceeding to be without precedent, to be prejudicial to the comity of nations, and to tlie usual and amicable conduct of international relations, and not in consonance witli tlie dignity of the Government ami people or with tlie respect due to the President of the I nfted States. Referred. Mr. Sanders ottered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Secretary of tlie Interior to Inquire Into the claims of settlers within tlie abounds of Yellowstone Park. ■ larch 1. 1872. After the journal had been appoved the House proceed to tlie consideration of conference reports on public building bills. A message from the Senate was received announcing the passage of the financial bill with a free coinage substitute. ’1 in* reception of this message by the Democratic side was cordial and effusive, and Mr. Bland, of Missouri, expressed the hope that early action would be had upon th? measure. The bill went to the Speaker’s table. Among the communications and petitions received and referred in the Sinatc, on tlie Hltli, was a communication from the Treasury Department recommending an appropriation of $20,000 for the Marine Hospital at Lake \ lew, t’hlcago. Ou motion I of Mr. Dolph the Senate bill appropriating 5t,8.3.000 for the eariy completion of the work for the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia River. Oregon, and $815,000 for tlie early completion of the canals and locks at thi* eascadesof the Columbia River. Oregon, was taken from tlie calendar and passed. The calendar was then taken up and a half-dozen private pension bills were passed. Conference reports on the bills sot public buildings at Mankato, Minn. ($9,000; and at Sioux Falls, s. I>. ($100,000), were presented and agreed to. The election Dill was then taken up and tlie Reptiblieans determined t<> remain in session until the bill was brought to a vote. One or two n otions to adjourn were ma*ie and lost and the Senbte settled down to an all-night session. Mr. i aulkuer having the Hoor. In the House, Mr. Dingley. of Maine, from the Silver' Pool Committee, repotted a resolution giving that committee leave to sit during the Sessions of the House, and granting it power to conduct the investigation outside of Washington If desued. Adopted, Tin House then went into committee of th; whole on tho District of Columbia appropriation hill. Mr. Roger of Arkansas, after paying Ids respects parliamentary law a- recognized by the aker. passed oil to a brief discussion of the free coinage bill. He appealed to the Republican majority not to ask once more the dist inguished Speaker to assume any further responsibility In regard to tin* silver question. When in tlie history of the country had a Speaker ever met tlie demands of his party more bravely or more courageously than had the present Speaker or more* disastrously." Had It come to this that after the Speaker Inui suffered tin* terrible penalty resulting from the responsibility thrust main him by a pat ty caucus that his party would ask him to make still further sacrlUee? He (Mr. Rogers; submit ted to gentlemen on the other side that if there was further responsibility to be borne on this si 1 ver quest lon it should be borne by a genth man at the other en<l of the avenue, and by those who openly and boldly denounced free silver. After a continuous session of thirty hours the Senate aiijourneil at 6 p. m. on ti e l.th until the 19th. The Republicans seemed determined to push the election bill to a vote, and the Democrats were equally determined that It should not reach this stage, and the SeTgeant-at-arms was kept busy in his endeavors to secure a qeorum. When he was dispatched sot Senators Hampton and Buller and was Informed by them that they would come Into the chamber when they got good ami ready, a new feature was brought Into the buttle. Dolph, of Or- । gon. demanded to know if a Senator could not be ci nt pelted to attend these sessions. The presiding officer said they could not. ••Then,"said Mr. Dolph, “if that is our situation we ought to know it." -Most of us de know it." suggest 'd Mr. Vanee. After that there w ere no more at tempts to coerce the attendance of Senators. The Sergeant-at-arms simply notified Senators that they were needed. Some would respond, others would not. Senator Faulkner closed hi; speech at 2 o'clock, having hail the floor continuously for twelve hours, during six hours of which lie spoke. At noon not more than a dozen Senators were on the floor. Mr. Daniel followed Mr. Faulkner in a long speech against tlie bill. Mr. Aldrich gave notice t hat on the 20th he would ask the Senate to proceed to the consideration of the resolution to change tlie rules of the Senate. “Suppose the election bill shall have the right of way then.” queried Mr. Morgan, “do you propose to dh-place it?” “The Senate has my notice." was the response. “I suppose that the election bill will have passed by that time.” |A laugh I of incredulity on the Democratic side.)

——i—■■■ XVon<lerfnl Railroad. Wonders in railroading are of a class that show how magnificent is tho genius ot^man. When the late .1. Edgar Thomson carried an iron track over the Allegheny Mountains and constructed that magnificent piece of engineering, tho horseshoe bend, It was supposed that ho ad reached the limit of such work But science and mechanism, engineering skill and constructive ingenuity never stand still and aro ceaseless rivals of their accomplishments. This is now faCt ,hat a rallr °ad to <e S 1 n ea ! < Just hcen finished, and. I. an illustration of possibilities in the same line y, *t t° be accomplished. It shows that such a condition as the imposMblo is not an element of human qualities in work within tho reach of man’s genius or muscle. According to descriptions which wo fwid In a contemporary of this last result of railroad enginei .ing, the route is ninemiles long, over an area containing moro impediments than were ever encountered in similar work. At no place on this continent, according to the description given, unless it bo the wonderful Yellowstone Park, is so much natural beauty heaped into a small space as at Manitou and tho Rocky Mountain region just about. The old way. climbing Pike’s 1 eak on foot or by irfu e was "long and trying, though an ample recompense to the traveler. The railroad will open up these great vistas to everyone and carry them along tho canyon, the pitching mou-ntain torrent, through tho tree line, the barren rocks up among tho clouds, to the Colil tip-top, almost three times as, high as Mount Washington, which the cog road has made so familiar to tourists of the world. There is every assurance, too, that the ride will be safe as modern invention can make it. Four breaking systems are to bo employed, and by no possibility could such an accident occur as last summer resulted so fatally on the Mount Penn incline near Reading. The railroad to Pike’s Peak will un- । doubtedly constitute one of tho genuino | curiosities of the far West, and make Colorado famous for its possession. There were 40,230 deaths in this city in 1890. Os these 5,468, or moro than 13 per cent., were caused by consumption, and 1,256 by diphtheria, while only two were charged to smallpox. These; figures speak eloquently of tho value of the work which I’rof. Koch is striving to do for tuberculosis patient-;, and Drs. Behring and Kitasato for those menaced by diphtheria. If they succeed their names must be inscribed by tho side of Jenner’s.— New York Tribune. The poet Campbell found that “Coming events cast their shadows before”’ and “’Tis distance lends enchantment to* the view. ” THEJ>OINT.
