A DAY'S DOINGS IN CONGRESS.
The Automatic Car-Coupler Bill
Passes the Senate.
A Controversy Over the Kaweah
Settlers' Belief Bill.
A Seemingly Endless Debate of the
Invalid Pensions Bill Begun.
The Panama Canal Inves
tigation. Etc
St the Associated Pros.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The bill to
promote the safety of employees and
travelers upon railroads by compelling
the railway companies to equip their
cars with automatic couplers and con
tinuous air brakes was finally disposed
of in the senate today. The substitute
for the house bill of last session was
•greed to and the bill passed—yeas
38, nays 10.
The only other important piece of leg
islation done was the agreement to the
finance report on the fortifications bill
and the making of the Nicaragua canal
bill unfinished bnsiness.
A controversy, in which a good deal
of heat and personal feeling was mani
fested, arose upon the motion of Felton
SI California to take up for considera
on the joint resolution to provide for
the appointment of a commission by the
secretary of the interior to appraise the
improvements made by actual settlers
upon public lands, holding in good faith
under the United States in the Sequoia
and Yosemite reservations in California,
and for other purposes. Dolph
objected, bat the senate decided
to take it up. Dolph then made a long
speech, the chief object of which seemed
to be to consume all of the morning
hour. This he succeeded in doing, and
the joint resolution went over without
action. The railway car coupler bill now
goes back to the house. The negative
votes on it were given by Blodgett,
Brioe, Daniel, George, Gorman, Harris,
Morgan, Sawyer, Stewart and Vance.
Adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Unlimited Debate on the Panaloaa BUI
in Prospect.
Washington, Feb. 11. —The session of
the house today was without result.
The attempt of the Democrats to limit
the time for debate on the pension ap
propriation bill was firmly resisted by
the Republicans, and the minority came
out victorious. The result was that,
without the termination of the general
debate, the house adjourned.
Curtis and Harris opposed the amend
ments of the pension laws. On the
other hand, Livingston[approved them,
•nd said that he did so as a southerner,
reconstructed under hie country's flag
land nnder oath to support the constitu
tion. No man would suffer more under
the present pension system than the vet
erans who lough t for the union. If the
present abuses continued the time
would come when the masses of the
people would go to the extreme and the
veterans would be Injured. South
era men were not opposed to pen
sioning Union soldiers. Long ago that
question had been settled, not only as
proper but as justifiable. He then
proceeded to argue in favor of the
transfer -of the pension bnreau
from the Interior to the war de-
Sartment. Politital influence, he said,
eetroyed the whole organization.
The committee rose, and after services'
in memory of the late Edward F. Mc-
Donald of New Jersey, the house ad
journed. _
THE PANAMA INQUIRY.
A Peculiar System of Bookkeeping Used
by the American Committee.
Washington, Feb. 11. —Oolne, secre
tary of the American committee, was
again on the witness stand this morning
before the Panama investigating com
mittee. Colne was examined with refer
ence to the accounts in the blotter here
tofore laid before the committee. His
testimony threw no light on the entries.
He stated he bad not seen the books for
lour years, and could not explain the
meaning of certain numbers, similar in
character to the numbers usually used
to denote the pages in ledgers and in
blotter account books. Witness said
they could not refer to the ledger, for
there was none. An order system had
been adopted, and the numbers in ques
tion might refer to the numbeis of
orders.
Representative Geary evidently
thought it possible that the numbers
might really refer to dollars and that
they either represented the amount
actually paid, while another amount
was put under the regular dollar mark,
or else they represented the amounts
turned in and the other the amounts
actually spent.
In the Ingersoll account, Geary said
there was $5000 marked down and the
two numbers there amounted to 19,750.
Under the head of "petty cash" there
was $100 down, and also the number 22
marked in the account. Geary asked if
$22 was not the amount actually ex
pended and the other amount turned in.
Witness asserted that this theory was
not plausible or good, and that the
i number might refer to something else.
,To Geary he said when a financial state
, ment was submitted to the Paris com
, pany it was accompanied by a letter.
: The letter book kept, he understood, was
' now in the possession of counsel. They
i were Bristow, Lynde, Stetson and one of
I the firm of Seligman & Co.
The committee then got into a discus
sion over the failure of witnesses to ap
pear. It was finally decided to go to
New York Monday for the examination
of witnesses there. It was suggested
that the committee go to Indiana and
examine ex-Secretary of the Navy
-Thompson. Geary said Thompson was
evidently the man who transacted the
business who could throw the most light
on the affairs and who handled the
money, Seligman being simply a banker.
Colne stated to the committee tba.
Thompson knew scarcely anything about
the accounts; that he (Colne) attendee
to them, of course submitting a state
ment to Thompson when he came into
the office three or four times a year.
POWERFUL ARMOR PLATE.

Wasbtkgton, Feb. 11.—A highly snc
cetsful tett of new nickel-steel Harvey

armor, for which bids are to be
opened at the navy department next
Tuesday. The plate tested is what is
known as nickel-steel Harveyized and
is nine feet long by seven wide and 14
inches in thickness. The first shell of
alow velocity penetrated the plate about
five inches and broke in fragments, but
the closest scrutiny failed to determine
the slightest crack in the plate. The
second shot of high velocity penetrated
the plate between six and seven
inches and cracked it clear
through for part of its length but
without reducing the protection
which it would afford a ship. The third
shot at increased velocity produced a
similar result to the second. The fourth,
at the unusual velocity of 2060 feet per
second, penetrated about 10 inches. The
slate cracked and the backing which
supported it was much broken. Cap
tain Sampson, in Bpeaking of the test,
said no obtainable velocity could drive
a shell through the plate. The plate, he
said, was more than equal to the pro
posed requirements and the tests were
in every way highly satisfactory.
FINANCIAL EXCITEMENT.
SECRETARY FOSTER SATS THERE IS
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
«
The Situation Does Hot Warrant the
Issue of Special Bonds—No Way
of Stopping the Out
flow of Gold.
New York:, Feb. 11.—Secretary of the
Treasury Charles Foster in an inter
view tonight regarding the financial
situation said: "I don't think the
situation is critical enough to warrant
the issue of bonds. The banks of New
York today have $80,000,000 worth of
gold and they are ready at any time to
give it to the United States in exchange
for greenbacks. I don't think the fail
ure to repeal the Sherman silver act
will result in driving gold out of the
country. I believe the supply of
gold is sufficient to meet all adequate
demands. I don't consider the con
dition of the country at all crit
ical. The government is in a position
to redeem all its promises, but I think
that the gold reserve ought to be in
creased."
"Is there any way of stopping the
gold shipment abroad?" he was asked.
"None that I am aware of," he re
plied.
SPECIE RESUMPTION.
Sherman'! Amendment to the General
Appropriation Bill.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The amend
ment of which Senator Sherman gave
notice today, which he should offer up
on some general appropriation bill for
the purpose of enabling the secretary of
the treasury to carry out the specie re
sumption act of January 14, 1575, pro
vides that the secretary of the treasury
Shall be authorised at his discretion to
issue and dispose of, at not less than
par, in coin of either description the
bonds authorized in said act, or bonds
of the United States bearing not to ex
ceed 3 per cent interest, payable semi
annually and redeemable at the pleasure
of the United States after five years
from date, with like qualities, privileges
and exemptions provided in said act for
the bonds therein authorized to the
«xtent necftssary oqM y;/
tion act into full effect, and use the
proceeds thereof for the purpose pro
vided in said act.
In spite of the heavy shipment of gold
for two weeks past, the treasury de
partment within the past ten days has
increased its gold by $3,730,000, making
the total gold in the vaults today $111,
--927,679, or $11,927,676 "free" gold.
Since February Ist the receipts from
customs at Naw York have aggregated
$4,525,391, against $3,321,445 the corre
sponding period last February.
SPECIE EXPORTS.
Enormong Sums of Gold Taken to Eu
rope from Mew fork.
New Yoke, Feb. 11.-The steamship
La Bretagne, which sailed today, carried
$3,250,000 American gold coin, of which
$3,150,000 was withdrawn from the sub
treasury. The total gold exports for
1893, to date, are $15,650,000.
The steamship Servia also sailed to
day, carrying 250,000 ounces of silver
and 105,000 Mexican dollars. The total
shipments of silver for 1893, to date,
amount to 2,162,000 ounces, and 800,000
Mexican dollars.
A Rape Fiend Lynched*
Memphis, Term., Feb. 11.—A negro
named Fields, who assaulted Mrs. Jack
White a lew miles from this city, was
lynched today at Forest Hill by several
hundred citizens. The victim, after re
covering her composure, identified the
negro fully, and it was with difficulty
that the woman's husband was pre
vented from shooting him. Field, when
confronted by his accuser, confessed his
crime. He was then taken to a conve
nient tree and hanged. No holes were
shot in him. The sheriff and a posse
arrived some hoars later, but could do
nothing.
An Important Arrest*
Chicago, Feb. 11.—A. E. Walters, a
freight conductor on the Union Pacific
railroad, was arrested and taken to
Omaha tonight by the chief of detect
ives of the Union Pacific railroad. The
arrest is considered an important one,
and is the first of 20 others to follow,
the result being the breaking up of a
gang which during the past two years is
said to have robbed the railroad com
pany of $140,000 worth of merchandise.
Walters was arrested while attempting
to dispose of cigars stolen from the com
pany and sent him by confederates.
A Flood at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Feb. 11. —All indications
point to a flood of 50 to 51 feet at Cincin
nati, and a rather greater flood below
tbe city. The stage at lOo'clock tonight
is 46 feet 8 inches, and tbe water is
rising an inch each hour and is already
20 inches above the danger line. Re
ports come from tributaries above that
all are full. The warning of the rise ie
40 timely that ample preparations have
been made by the exposed places, and
'or that reason the mischief and incon
venience caused by it will be very small.
The Benavldei Case.
San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 11.—The
witnesses introduced today in the ex
' radition proceedings against General
Francisco Benavides, the revolntionist,
lescribed the engagement at San Ignacio

COMMITTED TO ANNEXATION.
The Hawaiian Commissioners
Feel Jubilant.
Official Recognition Given Them by
the President.
Negotiations Formally Began at the
State Department and Appar
ently Meeting With
Encouragement.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The Star has
thia:
"It is learned on good authority that
the government has practically commit
ted itself in favor of the proposition for
the annexation of Hawaii, and that the
president will Bend a message to con
gress on the subject next week. It is
known that the commiasioners feel satis
fied with the present status of the nego
tiations. They make no effort to con
ceal their feelings, and evidently expect
tangible results in a short time."
RECEIVED BY THE PRESIDENT.
President Harrison this afternoon in
formally received the Hawaiian commis
sioners and accepted their credentials as
representatives of the provisional gov
ernment. The members of the commis
sion were conducted to the White
House by Secretary Foster, who present
ed them individually to the chief magis
trate. After accepting their credentials,
the president handed them to Secretary
Foster to be filed among the records of
the state department. A brief, but in
formal talk on Hawaiian matters fol
lowed, and the delegation departed. The
commissioners are delighted at having
thus received recognition from the head
of the government.
FOLLOWING UP THEIR ADVANTAGE.
The Hawaiian commissioners followed
up the distinct advantag gained by
official recognition today by the presi
dent, which gives them diplomatic
standing, by calling, in their new capac
ity as the recognized envoys, on Secre
tary Foster at the state department this
afternoon. The conference lasted an
hour and a half. The president in ac
centuating his cordial reception of the
commissioners this afternoon, intimated
that the negotiations which formed
the subject of their commission
would be conducted by the secretary
of Btate. The commissioners accordingly
repaired to the state department at the
cloao of the ordinary routine of the day's
business, and laid before Secretary
Foster in detail the practical proposi
tion they were authorized to submit.
Some progress was made as to arriving
at an harmonious view of the exigencies
of the situation, but no definite conclu
sion was reached and the conference ad
journed until Monday. The commis
sioners are meeting in detail the objec
tions urged against the annexation of
the islands.

Italian Murderers.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 11.—Four
hundred Italians are at work on a rail
road near Stone creek. Two bodies of men,
evidently murdered, have been found
near there lately. The police have been
unable to get any clue to the perpetra
tors. There is said to be evidence that
half a dozen murders have been commit
ted in the Italian colony. The Italians
profess the densest ignorance in regard
to the deaths,.
A Run on the Rconomlte Bank,
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 11.—The suit
against the Economite society and pos
sible proceedings by the state alarmed
some of tile depositors in the Economite

Tlie Inhabitant* of Mara*
We know that the tribes upon our earth
which live under the most unfavorable
conditions as regards heat—the Eski
mo"., for Instance, and the I'litagonians—
arc far behind the inhabitants of the tem
perate regions in civilization, and there
fore, if we may draw any Inferences at all
as to the Martinis from our own condition,
the more probable inference is that, if the j
exist under eironmstances at all like oui
own, they are, considering their great dis
tance from the sun, centuries behind ul
rather than at the samo stags of evolution,
or, still less, centuries before us.
And if we have no right to draw suoh an
Inference, then we have still less to reason
with the smallest confidence from our own
circumstances to theirs. They may of
course have senses suoh as we have not
even a dream of; they may be perfectly
well acquainted with all that happens not
only on our globe, but on all the other
planets, and yet quite unable to let us
know that they are familiar with our con
ditions of life and how they have acquired
that knowledge. But if that were so it
would be'only too obviouß that our condi
tions of life furnish us with no basis for
forming any conjecture at all as to theirs,
and in that caßa It would not only be san
guine but quite irrational to attempt to
•pen communications at all.
The only shadow of justification for
making such an attempt rests on the as
sumption that we may reason from the
analogy of our condition to theirs, and on
that assumption we think it would be only
prudent to assume that, if such faculties
as ours are already developed on the sur
face of Mars at »H, they, are likely to be
far behind Instead of far before our own.—

CALIFORNIA HERMITS.
Ken railing Thetr Uvea in Idle Solitude
on tlie Mountain Top*.
Is main essentially a nocial animal? The
scientists say so. But in the mountains
of California there are almost enough
men who for years have led a life of ut
ter solitude to disproive the generalisa
tion. These mountain hermits can bo
found scattered through the Sierras and
the coast rango from one end of the state
to the other. They are portlcolarly nu
merous through this region, catering
about the Yonemite -valley and extend
ing farbaek into the Hgh Siorras. Some
of them were onca guides in the valley,
others have been miners, and some
again seem to have taken up the Hfe of
solitude simply because they like it.
To this class belongs old P. R. Gibson
—"Old Gib," asie is generally-' called—
who lives on a mountain ranch. He is
seventy-five years old,.but is possessed of
as much physical-strength and endurance
as the average man of hah" his age. Ho
came thirty yews ago from Tennessee,
where he left a wife and a large family
of ohildjten. One of his sons came to see
him recently and tried to induce him to
visit hie former home, but "Old Gib"
steadfastly *6rused to leave his. little
ranch and solitary cabin. He has novar
seen a railroad, and the stage drivers
from the nearest station try their utmost
to persuade him to go to town and at
least look a** train of ears. But his in
variable answer is: **a3to yon think I'm
going down there to bo Mowed up by
one of them, there, blamed engines? Not
much!"
Nearly all the men who live this life
of solitude very Jongget a bit queer in
the headland "Old Gib." is no exception
to the ruio. He has a r%marote descrip
tion of himself which declares that ho is
"the best man in the TJWted States or
aajoinrng territories, either directly or
iodireatly, corotnercially, ec
clesiastically or tiMhtrrchifled." The old
man is a hard worker, and when he is
not busy on his ranch he is working
energetically malting "Shakes"—that is,
clapboards spilt and sawed by-hand from
big pino trees.
Old man Lambert, who has a cabin in
the high Sierras some thirty miles back
Of the Yosemtto, is another of the moun
tain hermits. He has neither ranch nor
mining claim, but lives by what he
shoots and by an occasional few dollars
earned from camping parties. Ho has
lived alone in thai; same spot for years
and years, and will.in all likelihood stay
there until be dies. There are months
at a time that he does not see another
human being. A party of campers one

San Francisco, Feb. 11.—Peter Jack
son today sent a letter to a New York
sporting paper, in which he refers to
the statement made by James J. Oor
bett in Milwaukee a few nights ago that
some people thought he was afraid to
right Jackson, but that this was not the
Case, as he was willing to fight Jackson
or any other pugilist at the close of his
theatrical season in October. Jackson
then sayß:
"1 am much pleased to learn that Mr.
Corbett has decided to fight me; it is
now over five months since he defeated
John L. Sullivan. I have not hounded
him with challenges, believing that he
should* have reasonable time to reap the
financial benefits of his victory. He
claims that he is entitled to one year's
rest from the date of his contest with
Sullivan. The termß of my challenge
will allow him more than that time.
"I will fight James Corbett to a fin
ish, Marquis of Queensberry rules, for
the championship of the world and a

the largest purse offered before any club

IT Ul TORTURE.
Contrast Between the Old and
New Methods.
The Way a Patient Improperly Treat
ed for Catarrhal Trouble De
scribes His Experience.
The $5 Rate for All Diseases Ex
tended One Month.
One of the many well-known residents of this
city, whom a reporter has visited during the
past week, and who has testified in no uncer
tain termi as to the superior skill and the ra
tional scientific treatment of Dr. De Mouco and
aesor>lates, had rather a shocklug story to tell
ol his previous experience In trying to obtain
relief from his catarrhal trouble.
"Why, they burned my nose out," he said. "I
went a few years ago to doctors who widely ad-
Tcrtised aud claimed to be specialists, and my
disease was so much Increased by their treat
mentthatl thought I never could get any re
lief . It seemed as if they were running red
hot irons through my nose and throat, and the
pain and torture I suffered under the treatment
was terrible. I don't know what their treat
ment was. but I know it nearly killed me, and
1 know a number of my friends who were tor
tured in a similar manner, and who did not re
ceive tha least particle of benefit. In fact the
disease was increased by the barbarous meth
ods employed."
The flesh creeps at the thoughts of the vio.
lont methods that are being used by the old-
Btyle catarrh "specialists." The most heroic
treatments are Biven to the helpless sufferers
strong acids and olrotrodes are used to such an
extent that the mucous membrane is destroyed
—the fine, delicate portions of the nose are
burned out, and when an operation is to bo
performed the patient Is subjected to the most
denperate wrenching, tearing and twisting.
The great charm of Dr. De Mouco and aiiocl
clates' method of treatment Is Its mild and
soothing nature. It is th« fali.iativ« method
as orrosKD to tii» hhboio. It Is a process of
constant and methodical cleamlng, healing
and soothing the membranes, foul ana irritated
by the poisonous catarrhal secretions, as a
wound miut be kept clean Irom poisonous ac
cumulations. The sprays and applications used
in hesllng, soothing and curing the affected
parts by Dr, De Monco and associates are effect
ive, pleasant and occasion neither the slightest
pain nor discomfort. They relieve the nostrils
from their stopped-up and irritated condition,
cloause the parts thoroughly, restore the
healthy action ol the membranes, alleviate the
inflammation, and, with the aid of proper con
stitutional treatment, in good process of time
cure the disease. The harsher methods of
treatment are done away with, aud Dr. Do
Monco and associates congratulate themselves
upon no one thin? more than upon the fact
that their methodi are painless as well as sci
entific and effective.
The $5 per month rate not only ap
plies to the treatment of Catarrh, •
both local and constitutional, but to
all diseases as well.
MR. HENRY SCOTT,
- „ , _ " =— _ ...
A Retired Buslnesa Man, Residing at
731 Myrtle Avenue, Los Angeles,
Cal., in Conversation With the
Writer Says:
■1 have Buffered with catarrh in its wont
form for fourteen years. At first it began with,
ringing and roaring sounds in my head, with
partial deafness in both ears, and at times en
tirely deaf in left ear. My oyos ran a stream ol
water; nose discharged freely. Great quanti
ties of mucous dropped into my throat, making
it very sore. I had sharp, shooting pains in the
chest—they would dart through my body and
lodge under my shoulder blades.
"Gradually the disease, which first affected
my head and throat, extended until my entire
system was undermined. I suffered terrlb y
with catarrh of the stomach and Indigestion!
after eating my food laid like so much lead in
my stomach. I couldn t eat anything without
feeling distressed. I came to this climate In
search of relief, and while I haye Improved in
m^i^neT.bm'lui'l.t'n'oaVW 1 ' ™»» m m * ">
"After one month's treatment at the De
Monco Medical Institute I have been relieved
oi all these annoying stmptoms. I sleep well,
eat well, digest my food thoroughly, and no
lonirer have that distressed feeling In my
stomach. In faot, lam practically a well man.
I would recommend any person suffering from
this disease not to hesitate to place their case
with Dr. Do Monco and associates.
"I tell yon, the local and constitutional
treatment these specialists administer gets
right at the seat of the disease. I felt better
from the vet y first treatment. There's no use
talking, I've tried every patent medicine I ever
heard of, and I wouldn't give the snap of my
finger for any of them, but there is no getting
around the local and constitutional treatment
of Dr. Do Monco and associates. I never heard
or saw anything liku it Lefore. It acted Ilka
a charm iv my case.
"Why, I would not go back to the aches and
pains I have suffered from catarrh for five nun.
drod dollars, let alone five dollarß.
"As I told mv son, who came here eomelimo
ago and spent * 150.00 with other" doctors ior
the treatment of catarrh, I had received more
benefit from one month's treatment at the De
Monco Medical Institute for five dollars than
he did for ono handled and fifty dollars with
other doctors.
"Yes, if any person doubting the veracity of
any part of this conversation will take the
trouble to call upon or write me, enclosing
stamp, I will be more than pleased to give them
any information concerning my treatment at
the De Monco Medical Ins'ltute.
"Yours sincerely,
A ■ ' J9HVV
