When six months old, the left hand of oar little grandchild began to swell, and had every appearance of a large boil. We poulticed It, but all to no purpose.

He then had two of them on each hand, and as bis blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break owt: came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which wap very of- fensive.

Hecould welk a little, but could not get up if he fell down, and could not move when in bed, having no use of his hands, I immediately commenced with the CUTI- CURA REMEDIES, using all freely. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each one of these five deep ones just before healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I pre- served. After taking a dozen and a half bottles he was completely cured, and is now, at the age of six years, a strong and healthy child. | MRS. E. 8.

THE RECESS QUESTION. An Attempt to Endorse Mahone for | A Compromise Proposed by Republican Senators Rejected @ Cabinet Place Fails. A conference of southern republicans was held at the republican national league head- quarters last evening. Delegates representing the various southern states, some Representa tives in the House, some active politicians merely, were brought together by an invita- tion from Mr. Mahone to meet and consider the interest of the south inconnection with the incoming republican administration. It is un- derstood that the purpose was to endorse Mr. Mahone for appointment as the representative of the south in Mr. Harrison's cabinet, but this failed. GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION upon this matter is said to have been mani- fested, and for a while there was a very lively It was soon devel- oped that the opposition to Mr. Mahone was too strong to be overcome, and the idea of passing a resolution indorsing him had to be time in the conference, abandoned, A resolution was adopted instead declaring that the south was entitled to repre- sentation in the cabinet, and authorizing the appointment of a committee of representative southern republicans to communicate with the leadin, Toeed 9 pose of selecting some man upon whom they could all unite to present to Mr. Harrison FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE CABINET. They then adopted another resolution recommending such a policy toward the south as to secure a fair count at elections. to place the party on ting the best men in the Blair bill and simila: fiices, and en propositions. ‘ing This republicans in the south, for the pur- ‘ong footing by put- | by the Democrats. The questions of holiday recess and night sessions are still unsettled in the Senate and the probabilities are apparently favorable to some little strife before an agreement is reached. There was another caucus of republi- can Senators this morning and the situation was discussed at length therein. It was finally decided to make some concession to the demo- erat, so Senators Morrill and Sherman were selected as conferees on the part of the majority, and they talked the matter over with a Vest and Harris, who represented the lemocracy. The blican ition was to commence each Gaye session at If o'clock and to hold night commencing at 8 p.m., and to adjourn for the holiday recess on Satur- day next, the recess toend on January 2. To these terms the democratic conferees would not accede; they wanted a longer recess and no night sessions. The republicans remained firm, however, so the conference came to nuught. A CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS will be held this evening and at this the republi- can compromise will be considered. It is ex- pected that some definite conclusion will be ar- meeting already arranged for that purpose.

A Central Figure in Political Dis- turbances. The nomination of Leon O. Bailey as United States attorney for the district of Indiana will probably be the cause of a little trouble in the Senate, for just now appearances point to a possible but fruitless struggle to secure Bailey's confirmation. It is nothing new for Mr. Bailey to be the central figure ina disturbance. He first arose to political prominence in Indiana hen the late Vice-President Hendricks and ' Representative Bynum were engaged in ‘‘mak- ing faces” postmaste: outasan anti-Bynum man. Two years ago Bailey again locked horns with Bynum, and the result was ery annoying to Hoosier demo- crats, Bot men were candidates for the demo- | cratic cong essional nomination in the seventh Indiana dis ict and after the convention had wrestled with itse f for sore time the Bailey } men seceded ann :minat d theirleader. The | Bynum men stayed in the ¢ uvent on hall, and | of course nominated Bynum. There ensued | two long months of political trouble and fac- tional strife. the end of which could not be | foreseen. Finally, Bailey's friends consented to the calling of anew convention, and from this body Bynum captured the coveted nomi- | | nation. One of the peculiar features of the ending fight is the fact that none of the In- jiana politicians seem to be willing to shoulder | the responsibility for having presented Bailey's | name to the President. AN ADVERSE REPORT EXPECTED, The information asked from the department of Justice respecting certain criticisms made | upon Bailey has been placed in the possession | of the Senate judiciary committee. It is under- | stood that an adverse report will be made apon | the nomination within a few days, THE SCHOOL SITE INQUIRY. The Passage of the Resolution May be Delayed. Mr. Hemphill, from the House District com- | mittee, to-day reported back to the House the resolution offered by Mr. Taulbee, proposing an investigation of the pur- chase of sites for school houses and other public buildings by the District Commissioners. It appeared probable this | afternoon that there might still be congjdera- ble delay in authorizing an investigation. Mr. | Hemphill was informed in consultation with | the Speaker that the resolution could not be considered out of its order except by unanimous consent. Mr. Hemphill stated to s Srar reporter that he would call the resolution up to-morrow. If there is objection to it then it will have to go over to the next District day in January. The impression about the House to-day seemed to be that there would be objection to consid- ering the resolution on the part of members who desire to delay or prevent an investigation. Mr. Hemphill said fay that he thought it to the interest of all concerned that the resolu- tion should go through quickly. —_—_ The District Appropriation Bill. THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE BUSY WITH IT. Senators Plumb. Dawes, and Cockrell, the subcommittee in charge of the District appro- priation bill, have been busy all day with that measure. Hearings have been granted to a large number of interested parties on various questions, Several delegations from va- rious sections of the city asked for street improvements other than those in the Commissioners’ schedule, Local charities were well represented, and the pressing needs of some of these were urged by their advo- cates. A number of school teachers were resent asking for a readjustment of ae pay-roll and an increased appro- priation. Representatives of the Young Wo- men’s ‘Christian home and the reform school also presented their claims. The question of street-sweeping came up and the committee and the contractor talked the matter over. The committee spent the afternoon in going over the items of the bill with the District Commis- sioners, The Tunnel Investigation.

Swords when asked if he knew when President-elect Harrison was coming to Washington, said he did not expect he would come here until the | inauguration. Col. Swords has had a letter from Mr. Russell Harrison, who is now in New York. He expects Mr. Russell Harrison here in a day or two, and thinks that something may be learned of his father's plans, THE INAUGURAL PARADE. Gen. Ordway, chairman of the committee on military organizations, and who served four years ago as chief of staff to the grand marshal, in speaking to « Stam reporter to-day about 6 ral parade, laughed about a sugges- tion made that the route of the inau, pro- cession should be extended or varied so a8 to take in other streets than Pennsylvania avenue. “That is just what was done four years ago,” said Gen: Ordway; ‘the very necessities of the case compel it.” Gon. Ordway said that it was @ problem four years to arrange the route that the head could keep out of the way of the fail. With » procession five or six miles loi the head begins to disband before the ta: moves. Four years ago the procession, after reaching the White House, moved up Pennsyl- vania avenue to the circle at 23d street, th back eastward along K street to Connecticut avenue, then out Connecticut avenue to Rhode Island avenue and hence to Scott Circle, where the organizations dispersed. This length of route was necessary inorder to dispose of the procession. It was Gen. Ordway's experi- ence that there were comparatively few per- sons then onother streets than Pennsylvania avenue. “If there were @ million eople in Washington,” he said, ‘they would all attempt to crowd upon Pennsylvania avenue.” NOTES.

He finds it one of the most difficult base ball tasks he ever under- took, and his difficulties will probably not end when the list is completed. Base ball men agree, however, that this method will be the salvation of base ball, for something had to be done to cut down the enormous salary lists, would be a great deal more fault-finding if any one else should do the work, President Hewitt has not yet succeeded in consolidating the stock of the Washington club, but in expectation of a satisfactory set- tlement, active operations for next year are in progress. The man that the home manage- ment is most anxious to get is Davis. the big Kansas City third baseman.
