the
Senate.
Washington, Jan. 23. — [Spocial.] — Mr.
Chandler of New Hampshire diverted the
senate to-day by arraigning two republican
senators (Hoar and I 'latt) for putting forward
against the anti option bill a con-
stitutional argument equally strong in
application to tho tariff law. Ho warned them
that they would be called upon to defend the
tariff law in the next congress, if the dcinp-
crats were truo to tho platform on which their
presidential ticket had been elected, and inti-
mated that their contention that taxes couid
only be imposed for the purpose of revenue,
not for the purpose of destruction, would be
fatal to the high protective system.
Consideration of tho anti-option bill ques-
tion, being on the amendment offered by Mr.
Vilas, to tho George substitute, began with
continuation of the speech of Mr. George
partly made Saturday. Ho spoko an hour, and
when ho took his seat a proposition was made
by Mr. Washburn to have a vote taken Thurs-
day next. This was objected to by Mr. White
and after some colloquy an arrangement was
finally made that at 1 o'clock on Tuesday next
week a vote shall be taken on Mr. George's
substitute and not later than 2 o'clock on the
bill itself.
The bill then went over without action and
the Cherokee outlet bill, from the house, was
taken up.
The bill having been road, Mr. Piatt offered
a substitute bill from tho coinmitteo on In-
dian affairs.
An amendment to tho substitute was
offered by Mr. Berry, providing for the ap-
pointment ;of a commission for the extin-
guishment of the tribal title to lands in the
Indian territory. Mr. Berry's amendment
was agreed to and the bill went over,
The senate went into executive session and
soon adjourned.
House,
Washington, Jan. 23.—There have been
many stormy and confused sessions of tho
house, but they have generally been held when
a matter of political or personal interest has
been at stako. Rarely haB a more boisterous
meeting been held over a non-partisan and
non-personal measure than to-day, when mem-
bers were at cross purposes over the quaran-
tine bill. After many parliamentary wrangles
the bill was llnally passed.
The house met in continuod Saturday's ses-
sion at 11 o'clock this morning and immedi-
ately proceeded in committee of tho whole to
the further discussion of tho quarantine bill.
The amendment was adopted for extension
of tho provisions of tho bill to immigration
and importation across land boundaries as
well as across sea boundaries.
After tho rejection of various amendments
the committee rose and reported the bill to
the house. Then the house found itself in a
tight parliamentary tangle. Tho bill as re-
ported from the coinmitteo of the whole was a
substitute for the original bill, and as
such substitute was reported as one amend-
ment, although it had itsolf received several
amendments. Complaint was made that this
was not the proper status of the bill, but the
Breaker was firm in his docision that there
waB but one amendment, the substitute, pond-
ing. The previous question was finally or-
dered on the substitute roported by the com-
mittee of the whole, and the substitute was
agreed to.
Mr. Riley of Pennsylvania moved to re-
commit the bill, with instructions as to a long
series of changes, but tho motion was de-
feated.
Then came the vote on the final passage of
tne bill. On a division the vote stood 111
to 47.
Mr. Mallory raised tho point of no quorum,
but by tellers the vote stood 138 to 29.
The house then in committee of tho whole
proceeded to consider the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Without disposing of it the
committee rose and the house adjourned.

L. Green and Mr. Woodall will erect three

and perhaps make him a cripple for life.
There was a meeting of tho Chautauqua as-
sociation this afternoon with a view of get-
ting on foot the summer session.
Elder J. J. Williamson, pastor of the

POLITICAL TOPICS.
In the Kansas Legislature.
Toi'eka, Kan., Jan. 23.-Although tho vari-
ous brandies of the Kansas legisla-
ture ballot separately to-morrow for a sena-
tor, no candidates havo up to this hour,
12 m., been decided upon by the
throe parties. Tho populists went into caucus
at 8 o'clock. They have to decide first whether
thoy will nominate a middle-of-the-road popu»
list or a democrat, then to seloct a nominee.
There is no tolling what they may do.
Martin is tho only democrat toward whom
tho populists seem well dispoaod. Having un-
seated eight republicans, they havo a ma-
jority of all tho ineinbors of the poDuiist
houso and senate and can elect a populist
if they want to. They believe, however, that
a democrat with populist tendencies would be
more likely to receivo recognition by the fed-
oral senate in the event of republicans elect-
ing a man aud sending him to Washington
with credentials.
To checkmate this move by the populists
the republicans havo also decided to throw
their strength to a stalwart demo-
crat as against John Martin,
represents tho fusion wing of
democracy. The sixty-four republican mem-
bers of the lower house with tho republican
senators and five democrats make a majority
of both houses in joint session aud could elect
a senator if they can fix upon a man.
So many stalwart, democrats, however, have
rods up for senatorial lightning that it will bo
a difficult matter to concentrate upon ono
man.
Bailey P. Waggoucr, Edward Carroll, A. A.
Harris and Honry Watkins are somo of the
democrats who hope to bo sent to the senate
by the republicans. Tho republicans, how-
ever, will take no definite action until they
learn what course tho populists intend to pur-
sue.
The republican friends of Senator Pork ins
are at work to prevent any election by the re-
publican house in the hope that the populist
houso will bo declared illegal, and that
the federal senate will decline to recognize
their senator, thus allowing Senator Perkins
to retain his soat and fill out the unexpired
portion of the term of tho lato Senator Piumb.
Later.—The republicans nominated Joseph
W. Ady for United Statos senator on the third
ballot, the vote standing Ady 43, Perkins 28,
Lucien Baker 4.
One republican, A. C. Sherman of Shawnee
county, has announced that he will not vote
for Ady, but that his ballot will be cast for
either Senator Perkins or Major E. N. Mor-
rill.
Kansas I.and Loan Hill.
Topeka, Kan., Jan, 23.—The feature of the
day in the senate was the introduction by

land loan bill. It provides for a land loan
commission of three members to loan the
state's school money at 5 per cent on farm
property in counties which have been organ-
ized ten years and on town property in towns
or cities of over 1500 inhabitants.
The county commissioners in each county
aro mado an examining board to pass upou
the advisabilit\uof loaning money on any
proporty in their county.
The Montanu Factions.
New York. Jan. 23.—An evening paper
says: Senator Arthur P. Gorman of Maryland,
chairman of tho democratic committee of the
senate, had a conference to-day with Hon. W.
C. Whitney on tho situation in Montana.
There is trouble among the democrats of ttie
silver state which threatens to lose tho party a
senator.
Gorman and Whitney will communicate
with the party leaders in Montana, and if the
trouble there can not bo settled by corre-
spondence some ono must be sent there to see
if the factions within the party can not be
united.
Bayard With Cleveland.
Lakewood, N. J., Jan. 23.—President-elect

London, Jan. 23.—The Egyptian situation
is assuming a gravity which for the lime over-
whelms in tho public mind all other issues,
even Irish homo rule. The khedive has intima-
ted his intontion to rofer to the Turkish sultan
and the treaty powers tho action of England
causing the dismissal of tho Fakhri cabinet.
The natives are in a more excited
condition than at any time be-
fore since the outbreak under the
leadership of. Arabi Pasha. While a
considerable party of moderato and intelli-
gent natives support the British position, the
multitude takes sides with the khodiveand
against what they call infidoi dictation.
A dispatch from Cairo statos that the sultan
has telegraphed to tho khedive his congratula-
tions on the attitude which the khedive as-
sumed in respect to the formation of a cabi-
net independent of English interference.
To-day a prolonged session of the British
cabinet was hold, understood to bo due to a
difference of opinion as to the necessity of re-
inforcing the British anny of occupation in

interests at Cairo and the frontier against tho
lJervishes, who have recently become very
menacing.

naped crew say their ship was boarded while

eral sailing under the American fiag.

CURRENCY POINTS.
State 1) inkH of Igsue.
Lohn, Tex., Jan. 21.—'To Tub News: The
nation can mako lentil tender money. A
state can not. While the people are sovereigns
of the state thoy are also sovereigns of the
nation. More money is wanted. Let us in-
struct our representatives in congress to mako
it; let us have money that is good for all
debts, public aud private, under the llag. No
second class money for America.
Ten year* ago the financial question was al-
most unknown,but the tide of education has set
in and keeps rolling on, and before two years
every person aspiring to congress
will be confronted with the question !
Do you believe in a double inter-
est? Neither a state nor a national bank can
bo established without good interest bearing
collaterals on which they draw their interest
and loan the money issued thereon at another
interest. Such things must stop.
It has boen settled by the supreme court that
the government can ibsuw money of whatever
material it may deem best, and in such quan-
tities as will make its exchanges and pay all
legal debts, and it is, therefore, for the state
of Texas, as a part of the nation, to say wheth-
er tiie profits of the money issued and loaned
shall go into the public treasury and pay tho
expenses of the government, thus rendering to
Cesar the things that are Cesar's, or into the
pockets of private individuals.
A joint resolution instructing our congress-
men will be in order.
State Itanks of Deposit and Discount.
We have in our state treasury amounts
varying from one to two million dollars. It
should be in circulation. Every person that
handles state money is bonded. There should
bo a bank of deposit in each county, bonded
for state funds. This surely requires no
amendment to tho constitution, aud the ques-
tion will naturally arise, why not make all
banks of deposit and discount deposit with
the state security for private deposits? It
would be a great benefit to tho banks and a
source of satisfaction to the people. Confi-
dence is the power that gives strength, stabil-
ity and profits to banking institutions and
makes a country prosperous.

No Fun for "Fun."
London, Jan. 23.—Some time ago London
Fun inserted an article in which it alluded to
Grace Hawthorne, the actress, as "Mrs. Kel-
ly," insinuating that she was the mistress of
W. W. Kolly. Miss Hawthorne at once began
an action for criminal libel against the paper,
and the case came up in court to-day.
It was settled by the paper apologizing for
its statement, which it had learned to be un-
true. Miss Hawthorne accepted the apology.
Fun will have to pay the costs of the action.
Emperor of Asia.
Vienna, Jan. 23.—[Special.]—Prof. Ar-
mimus Vambery, the well known oriental
traveler, is of the opinion that the visit to St.
Petersburg of the ameer of Bokhara and the
kahn of Khiva is a prelude to the
czar's assuming the title of emperor
of Asia as an offset to Queen Victoria's title of
empress of India. It is said that a new coat-
of-arms for the czar ha* been completed, the
design consisting of a double eagle flying over

The Panama Railway.
San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 23.—The Evening
Bulletin says: A rumor is in circulation to
the effect that the Panama railway has been
sold by the Frenchmen who controlled a ma-
jority of stock to a syndicate of English capi-
talists.
If it should prove true, it means a move on
the part of the British to get control of the
transit across the American continent. It
also means that the Panama road will be
operated by a powerful financial concern.
Teresa Urreas at Nogales.
Hermosilla, Mex., Jan. 23.—Teresa Ur-

Chioaoo, 111,, Jan. 23.—[Special.]—Whothcr
Bob FitZelminons win# or loses his coming
battle with Jim Hall he will retain his
title as middle-weight champion. So
says Fitzsimmous at any rate. Tho
Australians will Bght at catch weights on
March 3 (or $40,000. Thore is no side bet, but
this is not Fitz's fault.
"This fight," he said, "is not for the middle-
weight championship. Hall would not come
down to tho weight, the limit of which
158 pounds. I wanted to fight
for a side bet of $10,000, but Hall
declared that the purse itself was
big enough. I now weigh 15ti pounds, and ex-
pect to go into the ring weighing about lu5
pounds. Instead of tearing myself down I
will build up a bit. If I can not beat
Hall ho won't beat uie. Of that I am certain.
Tho tight ought not to last over twenty rounds
and I will win. I am so confident that I will
convert all my belongings into caBh and bet
on myself."
Speaking of his plans he said: "After this
eek, probably Monday, I will go
to Bay St. Louis, Miss., where
my wife has already a cottage in
waiting for me, and will oversee the house-
hold affairs. My trainer will bo F-"nk Bos-
worth, my sparring partner. My bro .or Will-

I am now in good condition and will take

Bulldog Versus Wildcat,
Laiiamik, Wyo., Jan. 23.—[Special.!—A
fight has been arranged to take place next
Saturday night between a pedigreed bulldog
and a mountain wildcat for a purse of $100.
A week ago last night a similar event was
booked to take place, but the city marshal
learned what was contemplated, and forbade
it within the city limits. After the gates had
closed, however, a party of sports re-
paired to a barn in tho sub-
urbs, where a pit was hurriedly
improvised and the fight was a thing of the
past before the police were aware of what it
was. The wildcat was killod in throe minutes
and the same dog is to fight next Saturday.
Tho betting is in tho canine's favor.

Lincoln*, Neb., Jan. 23.—The announcement
of the failure of the Capitol national bank
was made about midnight last night and with
it camo a statement that the state
treasurer was caught in the crash
in the sum of $250,000. National
Bank Examiner J. M. Griffith of Wahoo or-
dered its close, having found last evening a
shortage of $200,000 cash, which tho officers of
the bank said must have boon stolen.
Tho failure is a bad one. The deposits
amount to $625,000, and of this $250,000 is Btato
funds. The capital Btock is $350,000, all
paid up.
A bond is required of all banks holding
state funds on deposit. This was furnished by
the Capital National, signed by the Capital
National bank, with C. W. Mosher, president,
and R. C. Outcault, cashier, as individuals,
and is therefore worthless as these parties are
swallowed up in the wreck.
The bank numbers thousands of depositors,
many of small means, who will lose $500,000
to $000,000.
President Macfarland of the First national
statod this afternoon that he believed tho
batik would pay all depositors in full, but the
stockholders would bo compelled to put up
largo sums of money to do so.
The immediate cause of the failure was tho
fact that the state treasurer not'tied the Capi-
tal national he should require $100,000 within
the noxt week.
Treasurer Bartley states that inasmuch as
tho governor, secretary of state and the attor-
ney general npproved the bond of Mosher and
Outcault for $700,000 under a law which went
into effect when he took charge of the stato
funds he und his bondsmen aro released from
all responsibility., which will fall upon thu
state.

family physician was called during tho day
and gave some medicine, advising him to re-
main indoors until the trouble disappeared.
Everything progressed well until Sunday,
when diptheritical symptoms necessitated tho
calling in ot Dr. Beach. The latter oven then
found no cause for serious alarm aud left,
promising to call later in the night.
During Sunday ho seemed to grow worse,
and at 11 o'clook the bishop's disease had
takeu a very serious turn, and tho attonding
physician becoming alarmed, sent for Dr.
Fitz for consultation.
Shortly beforo midnight tho patient's mind
began to wander. Looking up at tho faithful
servant the bishop said: "Katie, you can go;
I shall need you no more. I am going
home.',
These were the last words of tho groat Epis-
copal divine, who has mado tho diocese sec-
ond in prominence in this country. After that
ho lay quietly, unconscious. Hours passed,
and tho two doctors in attendance could soe
that ho was gradually weakening.
At G o'clock he was barely aiive. At 6:30 it
was decided to administer a hypodermic in-
jection of brandy, but before this could be
dono the bishop was dead.
The funeral arrangoments havo not yet been
decided upon.

Papers of the astuteness of the Boston Globs
continue to predict cholora as a result of warm
weather when the winter breaks. The Globe
ought to read something of the nature of
cholera and kindred diseases. It would learn
that heat does not foster the comma baoilius.
The conditions that heat produces—decaying
vegetation, sloughs Rnd the like—may make it
multiply more rapidly, but heat itself, never.
If tho esteemed Bostonian daily wishes to in-
struct its readers in the preventive measures
useful in times of epidemic, of cholera or
other contagious disease, let it tell them to
keep clean. | Kansas City Timos.
The fact that General Butler's brain weighed
foui1 ounces more than that of Daniel Web-
ster does not of itself amount to a phreno-
logical demonstration of anything important,
since nothing has been more clearly estab-
lished than that quality counts for as muoh as
quantity in the matter of brain power. It is
true, as a rule, that men who havo lett their
impress upon their time have usually had
large brains; and Butler is seen to have been
no exception to tho rule Yet the truth re-
mains that it was not quantity, but quantity
plus quality that mado hun so markedly an
intellectual foroe and inlluonce. [Philadel-
