The Beatrice Public Building Bill Now in the Hands of the President for Signature—Miscella- neous Matters, Wasmixerox Bu Oxapta Bee, 513 Tit STRERT, Wasnixarox, D. C,, Dee, 18, ‘At a meeting of the house ommittee on ir- rigation of arid nds today there was an ex- pression in favor of the Herbert bill for the reclamation of arid lands. This bill proposes 1o grant to the states of Nebrasks, North and South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Wyomning, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, Colorado and California and the torritories of New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and Utah all the arid lands and the water rights for irngation and educational purposes, the states and ter- ritories to improve and dispose of the lands in whatever manner thoy may see fit. The committeo believes that the states can better conduct tbe improvement of arid and semi-arid lands than can the United States, and that the states and territories can in a much better way dispose of the water privileges, which are constantly be- goming questions of disputes for tho United Blates government, ¥ Mr. Pickler of South Dakota, who isa member of the committee on irrviyation of arid lands, and who has taken an active in- terest in this question, said to your corre- spondent today that he believed a bill of this character would be adopted at an early day and probably at the present scssion of con- gress, “It has become very clear,” said he, “that the federal governmont will never do any good in tho direction of making arable the arid and semi-arid lands. Congress does not understand the question. We have & number of times asked for appropriations to conduct experiments with artesian wells and artificial basins and have been prac- tically nothing. The state and terri- torial wovernments grasp the situation readily and are anxious to take hold of the lands and make them tillable. The appropri- ation of 40,000 at the last session of congress is insaficient for fnvestigation or anything else, and to my mind, and I believe the minds of each individual memberof a lavge majority of the house—all of the lands which have been refused to settlers should be turned over to the states and terntories,” 0 INVESTIGATE THE INDIAN QUESTION, Senator Manderson believes it is time for congress to take some definite steps to pre- vent such Indian difficulties as the northwest has been experiencing for some woeks. He said today that congress should get at the real seat of dissatisfaction among the Inaians and pass a law which would put_beyond the pale of possibility future disturbances. He thinks the Indians should be transferred to the supervision of the war departmentinstead of the interior department, and disarmed. Tomorrow he will introduce in the senate the followiug resolution, with & view to securing @ thorough investigation of the Indian prob- lem and with the hope that it will result in the adoption 6f & measure treating the sub- jeots in hand gencrally : Resolved, That the committee on Indlan af- airs or any sub-committee thereof appointed y its chulrman {8 hereby instructed to in- quire fnto the condition of the Indian tribes in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota.

The action of the republican senatorial cau- « cus last night in flxhlg ap order of business which contemplated the adoption of @& clo- ture rule, securing the previous question nall measures, and the laying aside of the electton bill for the consideration of a general financial measure created various im- pressions upon the minds of individual re- publicans in both houses of congress. The preponderance of impression among the }rflends of the election bill is that its chances of success have been diminished l‘){ last night's work. As one of the leading ad- vocates in the senate said: ‘“The republicans have discounted in a degree the importance of adopting the bill by the action which says there is a measure of greater importance bo- fore the country, and giving precedence in consideration.” Some of the advocates of the bill in the senate believe, however, that o the action of the caucus is a ple balll prosont 10 support tho bill and push it to a nal issue at an eflrmdny. t will require what the democrats will term ‘‘revolutioaary proceedings’’ to adopt a cloture rule, and some of the republican senators argue that it ‘would be just as politic and well in every re- l?w', to take the same steps for the adoption of the election bill as will be necessary in order to make a final vote upon the measus sible. The democrats ave determined to tht the cloture resolution with every avail- avle meaus, and there is not a man in Wash- ington tonight who is wise enough to Inhlll{un!.ly forecast the ultimate result. Kverything depends upon the good faith of the majoority of republican senators in their determination to force the adoption of a cloture rule and the disposition of probably a half dozen republicans who have fought against a proposition of this kind, to stand with their colleagues, It will roquire reveral duys to dovelope the future destiny of the election bill, THR SOUTH OMANA®MAIL, SERVICE. The second assistant postmaster general, in rexly toa letter transmitted by Senator Manderson concerning increased mail service for South Omaha, says that Special Agent T. Roy has made a report, in which he says that the fast mail trains east and west have been ordered tostopat South Omaha to tuke on mail, and that pouch exchanges have been es- tablished from South Omaha to Council Bluffs train No. 8, Cedar Rapids gnd Council Blufts and Kansas City train No. 4, these pouches to be forwarded to Omaha and Ogden on train No. 2, which wall siow up. To rem- edy the defective early train service the de- partment has telegraphed the South Omaha postmaster to employ & special messenger service between Omaha and South Omaha, and between South Omaha and the Union Pacific Tenth street station, pending further invesugation, 1ODGE AND IS PET MEASURR, Henry Cabot Lodge was asked today how he lil the action of the senate caucus in displacing the election bill, in which he has & proprietory interest., - aced," said he; “why its the first time the senators have really given it a fair show. Now they have determined on a . of closing debates, and iUs the only thing that can shut off the interminable democratic obstructions. I have heretofore been fearful that the bill would not get through the sen- ate, but since the caucus action last night my mind {s changed and I can sce the passagoe of the bill fu sight.” PORTEW'S WORK VINDICATED, adoption.of tho. reapporummaent bilby the on of nment y the house yesterday Yod 5 tieadid Indisation of the work done by Houn, bert ¥, Porter, :\txp&r‘mfim‘u census. jdomv.hln n| nuz:n tterest partisan democrats in the by vied with the republicans in paying l&?."l’orw @ tribute for s systematic, 8 , accurate and non-partisan work. said it was the most satisfactory census taken.

They Ureate Havoo in the Dissecting Room of Michigan Oollege. Detnorr, Mich,, Dec. 18,.—[Special Tele- gram to Tns Ber,]—Ata mecting of an in- vestigating committee of the faculty of tho Michigan college of medicine a dispute arose as to the mode of conducting an investiga- tion, which resulted in the resignation of Drs. Mulberon und Wright from the faculty. The committee was appointed to investigato a piece of arrant vandalism, which occurred last Sunday night in the dissecting room of the college. For the second time in the past three weeks the dissecting room was broken into. Instruments were maliciously broken and destrcyed and, worst of all, the subjects on the dissecting tables were shookingly and disgustingly mutilated. Nearly all the subjects in the room were treated to this vandalism and rendered entirely unfit for cientific use. Hands and feet wore hacked off, limbs cutand torn to picces, and sub- jocts ripped up and the entrails scattered about the room. Throats were cut and the heads thus detached were carried off together with several hands and feet, ‘When this outrage was discovered in the morning, great indignation was felt by the student and faculty, and Drs. Mulheron, Parker and Wright were appointed to investi gate tho matter and oring the vandals to justico, The students who owned the sub- jects also employed detectives to work on the case. Owing to the break in the committee, the qucstion of bringing the ghouls who mutilated the bodies to justice, is temporarily abandoned.

The case was continued until to- morrow, and Fly swore out an additional warrant and King was placed under 00 bonds to keep the peace until after the _ trial. story, as told by Mr, 3 reflects little credit on the city’'s attorney. The cause of the assault was letters said to have been written to Mrs. Kiug by Fly under tho e of Ton Harrison. hen her husband came home last Saturday he was told of the letters. His indignation was unbounded and he started out looking for the would-be destroyer of his domestic peace, He found him last night and an assault was the result, Mr. King said it was not his fault and was his mis- fortune that he struck Fly but ouce. S e THE EYRAUD MURDER TRIAL. Physicians Have a Disagreement in Regard to Hypndtism. Panis, Dec, 18.—At the Eyraud trial today Dr. Brouardel, who was deputed to examine into the mental condition of Mme. Bompard, expressed his conviction that she was per- fectly responsible for ner action, although she would come under the category of T8y | “morally deficient,” being. & person that would commit a crime with indifference. Dr. Sucreste, the physician of the Bompard household, said he had hypnotized Gabrielle and fbelieved it possible thatjEyraud had. Dr. Brouardel denied the influence of hyp- notism and a stormy scene ensued. Dr Voisin, & police physician, swore thay he bad hypnotized Guabrielle, but declined to enter into details, Her counsel asserted that Voisin had important confidences from the risoner and demanded that hestate them. 'he public prosecutor opposed it and blamed Voisin for having resorted to hypnotics, The president of the court decided that the mattor ought to be dropped.

INTERSTATE LAW AMENDED. Tho House Passes the Bill Authorising No- tarios Publio to Take Depositions, SPRINGER TRIES TO OBSTRUCT BUSINESS. He Strongly Objects to Going Into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union ~Senate Doings. Wasuivaroy, Dec. 18.—In the morning hour the pending measure—the senate bill amending the interstate commerce act by providing tor the taking of depositions by notaries public—was passed. After action on a few minor bills Mr, Far- quhar, chairman of tho committeo on mer- chant marine and fisheries, moved that the house go into committeo of the whole for con- sideration of the senate bill with the house substitute therefor, Messrs. Springer and Fithian positively denied that the committee had authorized the motion and decided that Mr. Farquhar had not sufticient authority for it. The speaker recagnizod Mr. Farquhar, however, to make & motion that the house go into committeo of the whole on the state of the unfon. This was sgreed to and Mr. Burrows took the chair. Mr. Farquhar then moved that the houso proceed to consideration of the senate bill to place the American merchant marine on an «equality with that of other nations. Mr. Springer made the point of order that the motion was nov in order, but the chair- man ruled that it was and My Springer's ap- peal wns voted down. Mr. Farquhar advocated the bill at length, and pending further decision the committee rose and the honse adjourned. Senate. ‘WasniNaroN, Dec. ‘The senate pro- ceeded to consideration of executive business on motion of Mr. Hale. The secret session lasted but a few minutes and the senate pro- ceeded to consideration of morning business. Mr. Sherman reported a bill providing against the contraction of the currency. Or- dered printed and recommitted. The elections bill was then taken up and Mr. Coke addressed the senate in opposition toit. Mr. Coke said he proposed wo have a full aud free discussien of the bill to the end that the American people shall be informed of the startling and radi- cal _departure proposed to be inaugu- rated in the charucter of the government, It the dictates of the political faction that happened to hold possession of all the depart- meuts of the government were to be_regis- tered in the statute books without, debate, without discussion, without examination; if the rules and usages and methods of proced- ure that had for & hundred years ovtained in the senate were to be overthrown and neither house of congross to be any longer a delibera- tive body, it was at least proper that the fact be proclaimed so that the people might pass jtud%mu"" on the political party responsible or it. Mr. Cullom addressea the senate. He ac- cepted the bill as the best that could be formed to meet the evils complained of, with the understanding that he should favor the amendments that met his_approbation. The Dill had been opposed on the other side on the ground that the general government had no right under the constitution to control and manage the election of representatives to con- gress, But in that objection there was no virtue. A duty was imposed upon tae gov- ernment by the constitution and the results of the war to protect the negro of the south in the right to cast a free ballot and have a “fair count. He would be pleased, if possible, 1o trust entirely to the states themselves to do justice at elections, but he felt compelled by a sense of duty to give his vote for the bill, and would do so in an eftort:to put.a stop | to lawlessneds in the southern states. He- kuew fully well that the passage.of {14 bill would give to tho lawless sloments at tho S0y €. mob violence and rebel- jon jonal authority, but he was sure that such results (hinted at rather than courageously expressed) would not prevent the bill being enacted and approved. Mr. Bate took the floor. He opposed the bill because he believed it to strike at the freedom of the ballot and tended to breed dis- turbauce and destroy the peace and quiet: of society. He believed it to be the most promi- nent of the many ringerboards on the political highway that pointed to empire. Such logis- lation in a republican government was at all times dangerous and vicious and was especially 5o at the present.time. At 4:20 the elections bill was laid aside in- formally and the following bills passed: Senate bill appropriating $100,000 for 4 public building at Danville, Ii1.; house bill for a public building at Bloominiton, Til, (875,000, ing an amendment reducing the amount from $100,000).

New Yonk, Dee!’18,—[Special Telegram to TueBre.]—The Madical Record of this week contains the following : In the various hospitals here and elsewhero the theory of Koelis being subjected to the test of clinical !&U?A Aside from mere as- sertion and aparg from theoritical influence we have, from apurely practical standpoint, a great deal yetto learn. In the present state of our study we have a reasonable idea of our actual position in not expecting too much. In fact we were told not to dosoat the start. Koch himself, with becoming modesty, claims’ very lttle as yet. His theory, plausible as it may appear, is still to be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the working clinician, In the meantime abund- ance of timo must be allowed for the ac- oumulation of the necessary experience upon which to found our ultimate conclusions. The reported cures of incipient phthisis are not yet conclusive, as suficient time has not elupsed to prove them permanent. Enough has been said and done, however, to encourage us in our work of inquiry. When we learn that in such cases after repeated inoculations with the lymph physical signs disappear, general phtnisical symptoms cease and the tubercle bacill are no longer found in the sputa we become more than hopeful for the verification of such novel and startling facts. The reported action of the inoculated lymph upon lupus aund tubercular glands is certainly very strange and whether we accept the theory of its actions or not, the facts noted are of great clinical importance. The supposed elective affinity of thelymph for bacillary de‘xmh.u is not, analogically speak- ing, impossible and adds enough of novelty to our present reasoning to give an increased zest to our clinicai studies. While we hope for the best in obtaining tangible results it is to be deplored that we are still in the dark as to the actual composition of the fluid for which such wonderful properties are claumed.
