Holman of Little Hock is running for
assistant journal clerk. In the senate there
will be a warm contest over the presiding
officer, Senators W. A. Clement, J. P.

The fight for the seat in tho United
Slates senate is assuming an interesting
phase. The frieuds of Hon. W. M. jBlih
tack, who is Unired States Senator Jones'
only announced oopouent, are mat ing
big eff ort to gain votes for him. They have
been successful in some instauces. particu-
larly in the north west portion of tha state,
where county conventions nave r< contiy

ing the legislatures to vote for Fishb.ick

lion. W. E. Gould, one of the repreienta
tive.4 from Benton county, is out with a
card suggesting that the chairman of the

THE ANGELICA CAPTURED.
A Spanish Ship on tha Florida Coast Wi!h-
ont a Hegister.
New York, Dec. 28.—A dispatch to the
Tlinot from Key West, Fla., says the Angel-
lta, a ship flying the Spanish flag, has been
captured off the west coast of Florida by the
United States revenue cutter McLane. The
Angelita has just been brought into port
by an armed prize crew under command of
Lieutenant P. II. Uberroth of the McLane,
and is now in the hands of the United
States authorities at Key West.
The capture of the Angelita was eflected
in the vicinity of Sambel islands, on the
west coast of Florida, the Mcl^ano carrying
the vessel by au armed boat's crew. The
crew were armed with Springfield rifles,
cutlasses and revolvers. The ship was full
of Hpaniards, but none aboard showed any
disposition to fight. The Spaniards gath-
ered forward, scowling at the American
■ailors. Lieuteuaoi Uberroth walked aft
and demanded of the Spaulsh captain his
papers, cautioning his men at.the same time
to be ready with their pieces.
The Angelica's captain produced a bill of
•tores of provisions purchased on the Flor-
ida coast. This did not satisfy the boarding
oflioer, who at occe directed part of his force
to search the ship. No contraband stuff
was found, but the character of the vessel
seemed so certain that Lieutenant Uberroth
direoted the Spanish captain to accompany
him to the McLane. Aboard the McLane
Captain Smyth convened a court of admir-
alty in the cabin. It was decided to ssize
the Angelita and convey her to the nearest
American port.
The prize crew wns sent aboard armed to
the teeth. Just as the McLane's meu were
running the Angellta's anchor a«peak tho
Spanish captain called ou his men to fight.
He declared he would die before allo-ving
his ship to be carried off. The Spaniard
was seized, placed in a small boat and pent
aboard the McLane for safe keeping. The
crew of the Angelita were quietly admon-
ished not to attempt anything rash on the
pain of death.
The Angelita now awaits adjudication,
and will, in all probability, be offered for
sale in tho course of a few days. The pro*
ceeds will go in tho treasury of the United
States. The fact that the Angelita was un-
provided with a register is alo* e sufficient to
cause proceedings agaiust her.

On a rosd in Mississippi we met a ,'oung
lady on horseback—a plain-looking j|his8
about 18 years old. We were in a

and saluted:
"Mawnin', Miss Libbie."
"Mawnin', Sam," she replied.
"Gwine long up?"
"Yes."
"All the folks tolerable?"
"Yes."
Wiih that she rode on and our team start-
ed up. The road was rough and wound
through the woods, and we had proceeded
about thirty rods when we heard the report
of a pistol.
Quick; we're needed!" shouted my com-
panion. lie flung down the lines, leaped to
the ground and took the back track at a
run. I followed him, and directly came in
sight of the girl. She was on her foet work-
ing at the bridle of Jior horse, and lying ou
the ground not tec feet away was the body
of a ne^ro, hat-ltsa, coatless aud bare-
footed.
He was hidden behind tnat treo," ex
plained the girl as wo came up. "He got
hold of the bridle and broke this rein. I
think I Milled him."
A small revolver lay on the ground beside
her. We went over to the body, and were
about to oxamiue it when tho legs began to
kick, the eyes opened and tho fellow scram-
bled to his feet. He seemed dazed for a
moment, and as he stood before us 1 saw
blood oozlug out over his cheat. Then of a
sudden, he wheeled and bounded away into
tho thicket.
You didn't dun kill him, Miss Libbie,"
said the driver as we went over to her.
'It's better, porhaps." she replied. "Here,
Sam, give me a lift."
lie helped hor into the saddle, and as she
gathered up the reins aud cantered off she
waved her whip as a farewell and was out
of sight in two minutes.
"She's got nerve," I observed as wo stood
looking after her.
"Yes," he replied in an absent way, "but
none to brag of. She orter finished him
after she got off the boss."

Dallas, Tex., D«*c. jA—J. H. Bumpass,
druggist, received a telephone message at
10 o'clock to-day from Dr. Nelson of Ter
roll, asking wuether a young lady of Dallas
had bought morphine of him last evening.
The reply was that she had not. Dr. Nelson
explained that he had just received a letter
from her saying that she had, and
that she was going to commit suicide. She
stated in the letter that her body would be
found if the searcher would get off the
North Dallas street railway at Lemon ave
nue and follow down it until the first
bridge wa» crossed and then turn to the
ritrht into the cedar thicket.
A News man iu company with another
went there and found tha tracks of a woman
leading directly toward the place indicated.
The tracks were lost, however, at the
bridge, which resulted in a long and fruit-
less search before any discovery was made.
At last in a cosy nook in the cedar jungle
and on a high rock bank of
the creek, a nallet spread out
In order was found, the spread
being a coffee-sack, and the pillow of thick
brown wrapning paoer. Beside the pallet
was a common tumbler, in which were two
empty phials labeled chloroform, one from
Atkins' and the other from tho Elmerita
pharmacy. There were also an ompty mor
phine ptll box and a lady's hemstitched
handkerchief saturated with chloro»
form, and a piece of The Dallas
News. There whs no one on the
bed, but It appears that the young lady had
csrried out her threat and it seemed probable
that she wandered iu some of the precipi
tous gulches or thick clumps of cedar
trees by which the beautiful spot is snr
rounded. The ereen boughs were parted
tenderly and careful search prosecuted up
and down both sides of the creek and every
ravine, but nothing was fonnd of the
corpse.
After the beddiug had boon found The
News man was wauderlna to and fro, with
it under his arm and came faoe to face with
Deputy Sheriffs Darby and Webb, to whom
the finding was shown, after which ail
Lands joined in the search. After several
hours of careful hunting The News man
met the father of the young iady. He hold
in his hand a telegram, aud was apparontly
unable to speak, until the reporter accosted
him, saying:
"I expect we are searching for the same
thiug. Is it a suicide you are looking for?"
"Lord Jesus Christ!" exclaimed the old
man. Tho articles were shown him as tears
rolled down hio face. After a silence of
some minutes, during which The News
man had uot the heart to disturb bis sorrow,
he asked:
"Well, sir, what do you thluk of it?"
"I don't think she is dead. I believe she
has eloped," was the reply.
It was explained that the tumbler and
contents were arranged too orderly for a
dying person, and that the pallet was too
carefully spread and the directions too spe«.
cifio. It a41 looked like a fake carefully
planned by a rornantio young person who
was about to depart not for eternity but to
some distant land.
"Her aunt, wno raised her, lives in an*»
other state," said the father, who found in
this suggestion a strengthening cousola-
tion. A thorough search had been made.

and this confirmed the idea that no suicide
had been committed. The telegram was
from Dr. Nelson at Terrell. It said:
If your daughter is not at home this morning

off at Lemon avenuo and oross the first bridge,
then go up the creok to the right.

Paid to Pension Lawyers.
The zeal with which pension agonts in
Washington have worked in behelf of pens
sion legislation, using all their efforts aud
resources to stir up veterans and Grand
Army men to demand it, is explained by the
enormous amount of money which they
make by pushing claims at the pension
bureau, where meritorious claims ought to
need no pushing. Since 1662 $37,000,000 of
tne money appropriated by the government
for pensions to soldiers has been Docketed
by the attorneys. Of late they have been
making about $2,500,000 a year. Under the
disability act of the last session a fee of $10
is allowed for each application, and the ex-
pectation is that at least 850,000 claims will
be presented. Here is about $8,500,000 in
prospect for the "sharks" from that source
alone. No wonder that they maintain an
organ and send out circulars to work up
sentiment in favor of pension legislation.
It is a regular gold mine for them. The
wonder is that congress should give them
such opportunities for getting rich out of
the pensioners of the government. [New

KOCH'S •KPAT REMEOY.
Effects of the Coauuftptloe Cure's Applica-
tion on Tioerenloas Patients.
LCniago Herald, j
During the las week Koch baa made a
fnrther communication regarding bis treat-
ment of tubercoosis, which bas been re-
ceived with inte.se interest and perhaps
with a certain anount of disappointment.
For be has desciibed his mode of applying
the new remedy eith sufficient accuracy to
allow medical mei to use ic in the treatment
of their patients but be has left us still
completely in the lark regarding the nature
of the remedy itsdf.
A certain quattitv of the remedy can be
obtained fro^i Dr Llbberlz, who has under,
taken its preparation with the co-operation
imsdfand Dr. Pfuui, but their
reseat small, and larger quan-
be obtainable for some weeks,

'eniedy he employs. Dr. Koch

is a brownish, transparent
much too strong for use until
rgeiy diluted with water, aays
diluted solution is applied by
injection. There is a rem
IfiTerence between the action of
pou guinea p'gs, healthy men
1 patients. Two cubic centi
undiluted liquid produce no
t wheu injected under the skin
pig; but, calculated by body
weight, th«l 15100th part of this quantity
produces laugh, difficulty of breathing,
sicknesi, \
twolve houis, in a human being. The pres*
encs of tuijbrcle In tho orgauism appears to
render it extremely susceptible to the ac-
tion of thefemedy, for, while the hundredth
paro of Jcubio centimeter—that is, one
twenty-fifft part of the dose just mentioned
as producing fever in healthy subjects—has
no effect u»ou them, it will cause high fever,
slong witfc'coughing and sickness, in tuber-
culous patents. Nor is this to be wondered
at, for the Remedy exerts its action upon the
tissues whkjh have been infiltrated by tho
tubercle baAllu*, aud not upon the bacillus
itself. It crises these tissues to die and be
thrown off f ong with the bacilli they con
tain. This ftrocess is accompanied by fever,
which the amo of the remedy used would
not producc&n health. In consequence of
this ihe reriLdy may be used as a means of
a<*certainin|tho presence of tuberculosis
well as curlig it If it causes more fever
than it ougft to do, in a doubtful caae of
phthisis, tt* presence of tubercle may bo
assumed, aid when it ceases to produce
fever in a patient under treatment the cure
may|be regirded as wellnlgh complete. The
effect of tht remedy upon the diseased tis-
sues can bi.seoa in cases of lupus, where
the tubercH bacillus Infiltrates the skin in-
stead of attacking the lungs as it does in
cousumptltn. A few hours after the rem-
edy has bctu injected into the skin of the
back the ^ipots or lupus on the face, far
away fromthe seat of the injection, begin
to swell aiid redden and then become brown
and dead, fvhilo the healthy tissue around
becomes r*l and Inflamed. The spots then
become converted into dry crusts, which

like that produced by the direct application
strong arsenical paste to the lupus
of
spots. The tubercle bacilli weaken the vi-
tality of the tissues which thoy infiltrate.
The arsenic finishes the process they have
begun, and kills tho weakened tissue alto*
aether, while it does not destroy the healthy
ssnes, and the once diseased but now dead
part withers up aud falls away from the
ivlngand healthy parts around. But the
arsunic can only do this wheu applied to tho
lupus in quantities sufficient to poison the
>atient mtoy times over if it wero absorbed
nto the blood, and consequeutlv is uuite
out of the question as a cure of tuberculosis.
Koch's remedy, on tne other hand, seems to
seek out tubercular tisbue wherever it may
be, and slmost certaiuly produces changes
in tubercular lungs and joints similar to
those in lupus spots, although its action
can not to seen in the former as it can be iu
the skin The fact that the new rotnedy
does not destroy the tubercle bacilli, but
only the tissues in which they are imbedded,
is distiuctivo of Koch's new method, which
promises to effect a radical change iu the
treatment, not only of tubercle, but of many
other diseases.
Koch'f direction that his new remedy is
to be prescribed under the name of para*
toluid stems to indicate that it belongs to a
class of bodies more nearly akin to alka-
loids than to albumoyes. Para-acet-toluid
has beet Investigated by Julie and Hubert
and found, like Koch's remedy, to be In-
ocuous :o the lower animals. It is possible
that the new remedy may belong entirely to
that class which has furnished us lately
with so many valuable antipyretics and
analgesics. But it seems more probable
that it consists partly at least of a iymph
containing the products generated by some
microbe. One's firnt thought would nam*
rally be that the substances formed by the
tubercla bacillus itself would be chosen by
Koch for curative as they have been by
Dixon for protective purposes. But tuber-
cle differs much from many other infective
diseases, for anthrax, typhus, scarlet fever
or meajles run a definite course, and if they
do not kill the patient at once they protect
him from a subsequent attack. But the
attack of hectic fever which daily recurs iu
a patient suffering from phthisis confers no
protection on him at ail, but rather hast ns
the progress of the disease to a fatal termi-
nation.
The case is sometimes different when
disease due to another microbe attacks a
patient suffering from some form of tnber-
calosls. Thus lupus has been seen to shrivel
and die after an attack of erysipelas or
measles, and peritonitis, supposed to be tu-
bercular, has disappeared aurlug recovery
from diphtheria. Judging from the resem-
blance between the effects of Koch's reme-
edy and those of erysinelas, measles or
diphtheria, we should be inclined to suppose
it to consist of a filtered culture of the germs
of one of these or of some such infective
disease, probably mixed with some kind of
paratoluid.
It may perhaps seem idle to speculate on
the composition of a remedy which its dis-
coverer will probably describe fully ere
long, but it must be remembered that tu-
berculosis, though one of the mnst frightful
Bcourges of mankind, is not tlie onlv ill
that nesh is heir to. There are others, with
a less mortality, perhaps, but even more
fearud by the sufferers themselves, and we
may trust that the lines of research just in-
dicated, whether they be exactly those on
which Koch bas been working or not, may
lead to the discovery o£ certain cures for
scanet fever, diphtheria, gummata, and
most dreaded of all —cancer.
According to Chinese legend, the virtues
of tea were discovered by the mythical Em-
peror Chinung, 2737 B. C., to whom ail ag-
ricultural and mechanical knowledge is
traced.
WHAT THE SENATE WILL DO IF THERE
IS A QUORUM.
The Dfreetor General Designates Foreign
Representatives for the World's Fair.
Morrlaon Much Talked of as
Presidential Timber.
Washington, Dec. 28.—The nature of the
proceedings in the senate this week will be
determined by the attendance. If no quo-
rum is present there will probably be ad-
journments from day to day. If there is a
quorum, countiLg senators on both sides of
the chamber, debate on the elections bill
will continue, and one of the features of the
discussion will be a speech by Senator Hoar,
sponser of the bill in the senate. Should
there be a quorum of republican senators
during the week, something hardly prob-
able, then may be expected a transformation
of the light skirmishing, which has been in
progress for a montii, into a heavy engage-
ment of the political forces, for it is the in-
tention to take up the new cloture rule in-
troduced by Senator Aldrich as soon as a
safo republican majority can be assured.
It is uot expected that any business will
be transacted in the house during the com-
ing w^ek. There is a possibility, however,
though not a probability, of a quorum being
in attendance either Friday or Saturday,
and should the unexpected happen, the ap-
propriation committee is prepared to take
advantage of the circumstances and call up
one of the regular annual appropriation
bills.

Morrison lficlily Spoken Of.
St. Louis, Ma, Dec. 28.—A special from
Washington says: "There is much gossip
among the holiday bound congressmen
about 1893. Who shall be the western man
In case the feud between Cleveland and
Hill makes it advisable to ignore New
York? This is the question upon which the
gossip centers. The first choice of southern
and western congressmen seems to be Wil-
liam R Morrison. The country has heard
little of Morrison since he became one of
the interstate commerce commissioners.
He has been leading a very quiet life. He
can be seen four times a day walking the
short distance between the Wriilard hotel
and the rooms of the commission. No-
body remembers to have observed the once
famous champion of tariff reform upon the
floor of the house during this congress. In
that Colonel Morrison acts very differently
from most congressmen. But the demo-
crate of the south aud west have not for-
gotten him. When they begin to talk now
of the possibility that their presidential
candidate may come out of the west they
turn with one accord seemingly to the con^
sideration of Morrison. He is the original
tariff reformer of this generation. Ho is a
democrat of the straightest sect. He is an
old soldier with 'rebel lead' in bis body.
He could carry Illinois if anybody could, so
they say."
