Mr. Blair inquired what reason the Senator had for supposing that a conclusion would be arrived at iu regard to his bill any casier than a conclusion would be reached on the pending measure. Mr. Paddock said that if the consideration of the pending bill was to continue without limit and without a hope, possibly of a result, he would call up the pure food bill. MR. BLAIR TRIES AGAIN. Mr. Blair thought that the Senator did not understand his question. His query was: How the Senator could hope (in view of the action on the pending measure) that there would be a short debate on his bill? It was true that the Senate and the country might enjoy a little ge of diet, but the true course was to bring forward the clotnre (he believed it was called) and sce whether the rules could _be 80 altered as to permit the conclusion of debate ‘on any question. ht under ‘the code to | Give his testimony in the presence of the court | and jury When brought into court to- | day both prisoners unmistakable evidence ue and growing anxiety. ‘The women, He Bompard paar y nd apprehensions were entertained | the day was over she might have a blie proseentor, as soon as the court ated. arose and began his summing up of | case for the people. ‘fc opened his remarks | by stating that he id confine himself to Yrand nd Bompard | crime of murder and | arnestly begged the jury to dismiss from minds as not bearing on the exse all that irrelevant testimony which | had been injected into it regarding hypnotism. blic proseentor then retersed to the en by Dr. Liegois and sevthing]; «tthe theories of Nancy \xchool.” “No cperator, he asserted, could | [buy a subject +o absolutly under ‘control | jas to force him or her to commission of rime.

Senators ought to be willing to concede that in the consideration of a measure of this char- acter there was room for an honest difference of opinion and should not forget that denuncia- ntand that epithets never ligent mind. Thix debate © yy something of rude- ness. The committee on privileges and elec- tions had been referred to in language of dis- courtesy. Almost every Senator on the other side had made harsh and bitter reference to the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar). That Senator needed no defense, and if this were oth- erwise he would be ABUNDANTLY ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. But he hoped that the Senator would not think him ofticious in saying that he had heard the attacks with regret and indignation. When Massachusetts counted her jewels none would | be found richer and brighter than the name and fame of the Senator in charge of this Dill. He was the peer of any man who had ever spoken for Massachusetts in this chamber. DEFENDING JOHN I. DAVENPORT. Mr. Spooner then proceeded to defend John I.

This re- ‘ward will be paid for the arrest of any soldier who deserted subsequent to December 31, 1883. ‘The increased standing reward for de- sorters will, it is thought, deter soldiers from deserting and stim civil officers in arrest- ing offen In this connection an order was also issued today directing department com- manders to report September 1 annually the number of desertions which have occurred within their commands during the year with an expression of their views as to the causes and mcasures which should be taken to prevent their recurrence.

OPPOSITION TO THE SEXATE CAUCHS BILL—A DIB- POSITION To LET THINGS DRIFT ALONG—ATTi- TUDE OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT—SECRE- TARY WIXDOM'S PLAN. The chances are decidedly against any finan- cial legislation at this session. ‘The reporting of the caucus bill by the Senate finance com- mittee under the peculiar circumstances con- nected with, that action cannot be accepted ax an indication that legislation is expected by the committee. There is decided opposition to the measure, and the situation is no better than it was at ghe opening of the ses- sion. In fact, the supposed compromise agroe- ment has gone to pieces. SECRETARY WINDOM'S PLAN. No particular interest in the cancus bill is taken at the Treasury it. While there are some features that are approved the such a: would greatly improve the _ situation. The plan favored by Secretary Windom and the one which it is thought at the Treasury Department will be adopted if anything at all is done, gives the Secretary the discretion to purchase all of the 12,000,000 ounces of surplus silver at such time and in such amounts as he deems desirable—all at one time it necessary. It provides also that the regular purchase of silver shall be confined to the product of the American mines and in- cludes the proposition for the issue of $300,- 000,000 interconvertible bonds. ODJECTIONS TO THE CAUCUS BILE. Itis thought at the department that the spreading ont of the 12,000,000 silver purchase over several months will destroy the effect of the phrchase. ‘The discretion should be given the Secretary to make the purchase in such manner as the circumstances demand. Another thing, if the purchases under the | general law are not confined to the product of | the American mines it would not do much good tobuy up the surplus at this time, as the chances are that as soon as that is bought there will be another accumulation impor- tation of foreign silver. The Secretary hns the utmost confidence in the interconvertible bond proposition and be- lieves if the whole plan were adopted by Con- gress it would relieve the situation and secure the country in the future. But even if only the silver feature of the plan is nay ged it is desirable that the Secre- tary should have discretion in making the surplus purchase. 4 DISPOSITION TO AVOID FINANCIAL LEGISLATION ‘THIS SESSION. There is, however, a decided disposition among those who exercise the most influence over legislation in both houses of Congress to avoid all financial legislation at this ses- sion. It is safe to say that the Senate finance committee do not expect thet there will be any legislation. Some of the the financial affairs of the country will right themselves’ in the course of a month or two if let alone. ‘hey think that there is no necessity for _ legislation torelieve the money market, but that, on the contrary, there is positive danger in attempting such legislation. Acting upon this theory the will do all they can to prevent anything being done. The “constant agitation of some compromise plan, without ever quite com- ing to an agreement, will probably keep the thing hanging in the air until the eagerness for action has subsided. The expectation from day to day that some- thing will be done is relied upon to keep the radical silver men from acting for themselves. The policy of the party leaders is to keep staving the matter off. en MANY HAPPY CHILDREN Gather at the Franklin Building to Arrange for the Christmas Club Dinner. A troop of children tripped into the Franklin School building this afternoon and climbed up the stairs to the great hall on the top floor. They had come as members of the Children’s Christmas Club of district No. 2 to ar- range for the annual dinner which will be given to the poor children of the city. ‘There was a happy Christmas sound about their laughter and their merry chatter which filled the hall while they were waiting for the meeting to be called to order. The boys as well as the girls were present, showing that this club and its kindly objects inter- cst all classes. Miss Strong, Miss McCalmont, and other Jadies were there to give the children the benefit of their management and advice. After a while the hum of yoices were stilled and then Mr. 8. C. Clark a few words about the objects of. the meeting and intro- duced to the members their new resident and vice president, _ Mins janie Fuller. ughter of Chief Justice Puller, and Miss Jessie Miller, the daughter of the At torney General. ‘Ihen began the task of select- ing waiters and waitresses. There were plenty of willing assistants offered, but selection was determined to a large extent by size and age. Each boy and girl was presented with a ribbon badge upon which was fastened a jing- ling bell. ‘The Children’s Christmas Clib of 1800 inaugurated its work under favorable cir- in prospect that ly successful lhis year will be eqi as any in the past. xe Steen A.

A Woman Who Proposes to Explore the In- terior of Africa, Mrs. May French Sheldon, who expects to head an expedition into Africa soon, has ont- lined her plans for her remarkable trip. She is, in short, going almost alone into the heart of Africa. Mrs. Sheldon is the wife of E. L. Sheldon, who is the representative in London of the Jurvis-Conklin Mortgage Trust Company. She has been a great student of African affairs and is greatly interested in African explorers and their work: For a long time her home in London has been the Mecca of these people. She is an intimate friend of Henry M. Stanley, and came to this country with him. She is to return home shortly, and in February will start on her trip. She goes to Zanzibar, thene to Mombassa, which will be ber point of departure for the tion of her trip. She goes no association or cause, but simply on her own hook. Men, she says, have learned some things about’ the ‘continent, but many things they have not learned, notably the home life of the natives. Of this she will make a study. She will tave a phonograph and will bring back actual specimens of their spoken female stengorapher will = ably to Mombassa, but from there on she will be the only white woman of the party. She has and will command the ex- > pedition herself, and. will hve, she thinks, about fifteen or twenty people with her, includ- ing three ae ee a contends Arabian attendants.

It wos expected to make the trip without noise or | friction, but it now waits another opportunity —some other day. Senator MeMillan presented the report and | when the Vice President said “The question is on agreeing to the report of the conference | comimittee” Senator Vest arose and remarked: | “Iunderstand that to be the conference re- port on what is known as the Atkinson bill. Ihave not had time to examine it. It was y in another branch of Con and I would prefer that the report should be printed in ord at We may understand it.” “That is fair.” said Senator Edmunds, “It is a privileged report anyhot “Ihave the impression from the newspapers and from what I see in the Congressional Record that one feature of the bill as it came to the Senate from the House and as we sent it back to the House I refer to the — provision _ for commission to com erence between the citizens of this District and the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company —has been stricken out. I will say very franbly that I never would have remained silent wh that Dill passed the Senate but for that feature in it, and if that has been stricken out then, in my judgment, though I have not had time to examine the bili as it now stands, it is an entirely ex parte mat- ter. all the provisions being on the side of the railroad company and none on the side of the citizens.” MR, HARRIS REPLIES, Senator Harris, one of the conferees, said it was trne that that out, and then he added: “But I will state in addition that when stricken out it was considered — by the —con- ferees upon the part of the two houses thatthe — pi thing to do instead of creating such a commission as was provided for was to raise a joint select thed with ample power to take into consideration all of the questions that were Plopowed to be referred to such “commission vier “Is that provision in the bill?” asked Mr. Vest. “It is not,” said Mr. Harris. “It will rest upon an independent resolution. Mr. Edmunds said he believed the conferees done wisely, but the report should be printed. The report was then ordered printed. ee. A Colored Murderer Captured.

The first step of Dr. Robert Koch into the light of publicity, rays the New York Sun, took place in the laboratory of the bacteriologist, Privy Councilor Cohn, who announced on day years ago to the students under his super- vision that on the next morning *‘a young fel- low from Posen would be on hand to show rome preparations.” What the young fellow’s name was the privy councilor hal forgotten. Of his prepara he was equally ignorant. At the appointed hour the students had as- sembled and were trying vainly to learn just how little the coming man knew of bacteriol- ogy. The door opened, and a little man in simple black garments’ slipped in. He had saa. German men have, a big, clear forchead, and a small, stiff moustache. "The students smiled as he bowed deeply and introduced himself as Robert Koch. He addressed his simple com- pliments to the mighty “Herr Geheimrath,” and then opened the boxes he had brought un- der his arm. Every one ceased smiling as he laid out his wonderful little glass slides, which are #o fa- miliar to the eye of the medical students and professors of Germany. Preparation after pre- tion of the most ‘wonderful sort, obtained with infinite pains, study and intelligence, and preserved in a fashion pitiably economical, yet thoroughly utific, was spread out by the silent small mau, together with sets of irre- proachable photographs of everything, all done Dy him: an by him alone, away off in the ham- let of Wollstein in Posen. en the exhibit was finished there was a dead silence for # minute or two. Then Privy Councilor Cohn sai you should remain in Breslau. It is not fitting that a man of your genius should go | back to Wollstein in Posen.” Koch was willing enongh to remain in Bres- | lau, for his life in Wollstein had been joylessl: poor, according to the views of most me although he had found comfort in his rema able work. “I am anxious to remain, but I have no money,” he answered. ‘Two days laicr the judicial court doctor of the Nicolai district died. His place was poor enough and almost without fees, but it was a foothold and as such Cobn secured it for Koc! ‘The young Posener took up his residence in Breslau and continued his studies.
