Substanca of tlia Hills and Resolutions Introduced lu the Henate and House -Coudeused Iteeord of the Dolugs of the National I.awiuahers-Seiiate. WanhiuKtou, Jan. 25. The three lubjeots more prominontly before the publio are the Monroe doctrine, finance and tariff, each of which came np for oousidoratou in the senate during the day. Daniel spoke for two hoars in support of a vigorous upholding of the Monroe dootorlue as applicable to Ven ezuela; Dubois of Idaho dealt with the silver phase of the financial question, and Warren of Wyoming pointed out the disastrous effects of the tariff legis lation of the last congress on farm pro ducts in general and on wool In par ticular. The senate committee on commerce today antborized MoMillan to report favoralby bills providing for two additional revenue cutters on the Great Lakon, two on the Paciflo ooast, one in tho vioinity of New York, and one on the Gulf of Mexico; also a bill for a lighthouse tender on the Florida ooast Vest iutoduoed a bill m me senate today to create the territory of Indianola out of the part of the Indian territory occupied by tne olvuizea tribes. Washington, Jan. 29. Frank J. Cannon and Arthur Brown, from tne new state of Utah, took the oath of office in the senate today, the former drawing the term ending March 8, 1809, and the latter the term ending March 8. 1897. With the exopetion of the contested Delaware case this establishes the politioal division of the npper branoh of congress, nntu March 4, 1897. as follows: Republicans, 44; Democrats, 89; Populists, 6; total, 89. Necessary for majority, 45. Aside from this event, the session was given to further speeches on the silver bond bill, two of the new members of the body Nelson (Republican of Minne' sota) and Baoon (Democrat of Georgia) making speeches, the former against the free coinage of silver, and Baoon urging the evilB of a gold standard. Hansbrough of North Dakota severely criticised the secretary of agriolntnre for the alleged failure to distribute seeds in accordance with the law, and George of Mississippi defended the sec retary s acton. Lodge offered an amendment to the silver bond bill, pro viding for a bond issue of $100,000,000, the proceeds to be used for ooast de fenses. Houae. Washington, Jan. 25. The house re snmed considertion of the rules and disposed of the last amendment offered by the committee. It submitted for the rules of the fif cy-first congress,' the method of compelling the attendance of a quorum proposed in the forty-sixth oongress by J. Randolph Tucker, with some modifications. It was not until the rules of the fifty-first congress stood adopted, with the few modifica tions reported from the committee, that something like excitement was engen dered by an eloquent speeoh from Dolliver. He taunted the Democrats with at least acquiescing in the adop tion of all the principles adopted in the rules of the fifty-first oongress, against which they bad raised their voices in 1890. This speech drew forth an in dignant reply from ex-Speaker Crisp, in the oonrse of which he reviewed the whole history of the controversy and obarged the other side with trying to make politioal capital by false pre tenses. Washington,. Jan. 29. The honse today, after an interestng four-hour de bate, adopted resolutions passed by the senate v last week, calling the powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin to en force the reforms in Turkey guaranteed to the Christian Armenians, and pledg ing the support of oongress to the president in the most vigorous action he might take for the protection and security of Aineroan oitzena in Turkey. The house committee bad prepared some resolutions on the same subject but it was deemed advisable, after the senate resolutions reached the house to day, to substitute them for those prepared by the committee. Paaaenger Train Wrecked. San Francisco, Jan. 28. The pas senger train whicn leit here at 6 o'clock this afternoon for San Jose was ditched near South San Francisco, and John Keyer, the engineer, was killed. The wreck was caused by the flood washing away an embankment nnder the track. The locomotive, baggage and smoking-car were thrown over the embankment, half nnder water. En gineer Keyer was thrown twenty feet into four feet of water. His right leg was broken in two plaoes, and the flesh terribly mangled. . He was rescued from the water and conveyed to a pas senger car, where he died at 8:45. Fireman Gill was badly bruised, and Conductor Stanwood's hand was in jared. No passengers were injured. Free Cold In Camp Lloyd District, Salt Lake, Jan. 29. The discovery of free gold in some of the ore recently taken out of the Mercury mine, in the Camp Floyd district, hag created con siderable excitement in mining circles as it is said to be the first free gold that has been found in that section. It will have a tendency to enhance the value of all the mining property in that camp. Germany's Claana Against Venesoela. ixraaon, Jan. zb. me Berlin cor respondent of the Times says: "The German minister at Caracas has been instructed to present to Venezuela a note pressing for the payment of the Great Venezuela Company's demands against tne Venezuela government' THE VENEZUELA AFFAIR. Hon, Joseph, t liambarlaln' Rnaanh u lllriiiliigliaiii. London, Jan. 28. Tho rluht Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, socrotury of state for the colonies, in speaking at Bir mingham tonight, said regarding the Veuezuola matter, that he thought thore had been much misapprehension on both sidos of tlie water. When Socrotury Olnoy's dispatoh and Presi dont Cleveland's message wore de livered, the feeling was reluctantly en tertained in England that the Ameri cans must have some hostile sentiments which England did not share, and that the United States was bent on piokiua quarrel with England. The idea seemed to prevail in America that England was disposed to impugn the Alouroe doctrine a doctrine to whioh the people of the United States rightly attaohed much importance, and it was also believed in Amerioa that Great Britain was disposed to deal in a harsh and arbitrary manner with Venezuela, bnt reflection had brought about a more favorable undertsanding, and America would regard with horror a war with those of her own blood and kindred. He concluded: President Cleveland, whose ao- quaintanoe I have the honor to possess, bears a high reputation for rectitude and honorable dealings. He is incap able of the wickedness of inoiting two kindred nations to strife and blood shed." A CHANGE BADLY NEEDED. Considerable Politioal Excitement and Uneasiness In Nicaragua. Managua, Nioaragua, Jan. 28. Dur ing the past few days considerable po litioal exoitement and uneasiness had developed in Nioaragua because several citizens have proclaimed that in their opinionPresident Zelaya should deolare himself dictator, and eventually call a convention of the people to rorreot some embarrassing and conflicting olauses in the national constitution of 1898. This national constitution pro vldes that a constitutional convention shall not be called nntil 1903. This opinion was gradually gaining ground among the persons of intelligence and wealth in Nioaragua, and the diffloul ties would probably have been settled by respectable and responsible persons, bnt Jose Games, who was recently le moved from several positions of honor and trust by the managers of the party in power, attempted to make a noisy demonstration in favor of the dictator ship. This movement of Da Gamez, who was followed by a number of iire sponsible citizens, chilled the ardor of the honest element Finally all the ministers in President Zelaya's oabi net resigned. These resignations the president deolined to accept Munioi palities have opened voting plaoes and oitizeng are now voting for or against the dictatorship. THE LONDON STOCK MARKET Slight Hardening in lfatea Because of Prospective Gold Shipments. London, Jan. 28. The prospect of gold going from here for the American loan caused a slight hardening in money rates, bnt the Bank of England has such an immense amonnt of gold that suoh exports are unlikely to cause disturbance. The stock exohange was still sensitive dnring the week to ontside influences, butjthe tendenoy was good. Further favorable dividend an nouncements oansed a fnrther sharp advance in home securities, while the settlement of the Scotch strike held the upward movement Mines were inaotive, awaiting developments in South Africa. Foreign securities were firm, and Bnlgarians advanoed on rumors that Russia would appoint an agent at Sofia. Americans were firm on the improved outlook, but business was restricted. European State Banks. London, Jan. 29. A dispatoh to the Standard says that L'Eoonomiste European publishes statistics showing that the stock of gold in European state banks has increased sinoe 1890 by 124,500,000. At the end of 1805 the banks of Franoe and Russia held half the stock of gold in all the banks of Europe. A bysslnlan Bne for Peace. Rome, Jan. 28. Emperor Menelek has sent letters to King Humbert and to General Barratiori by an Italian trader, asking that Italy appoint a plenipotentiary to arrange terms of peace between Italy and Abyssinia. Alaska. It is reported that an opera house will be built at Junean, that will dis count anything at present in Alaska. The first Monday in January was Russian Christmas in Alaska, and the boldiay festivities were opened by a Christmas tree for the little ones of Junean, at the parsonage of St Nicolas. Alaska is soon to have its first legal banging. Tia-koo-yellee, a Cake island Indian, was recently oonvicted of the murder of a member of his tribe, and sentenced to be banged. If the law takes its oonrse be will be hanged at Sitka. The fact that the Alaska Treadwell Company clears $800,000 annually from ore running $3.73 to the ton, is a good practical illustration of what economical business methods, even in far-off Alaska, can do with large quan tities of low grade ore. It is now being bandied at a total oost of $1.20. per ton. Captain-General Martinea de Campos formally resigned big command of the Spanish forces in Cnba to General Marin. The ceremony took place in the great salon of the captain-generals' palaoe. There were present all author ities of the city of Havana and the j chief officers of the army. THE HOG INDUSTRY WHEAT VERSUS CORN FOR FAT- TENINQ PURPOSES. A, C. Moore, a Noted Swine Breeder. (lives Soma Information on How to Keep Breeding Bows-Our Horticul tural Hluta. The Ohio experiment station has been experimenting somewhat to deter mine the relative value of wheat and oorn as food for bogs, says the Web- foot Planter. It is not claimed that absolute and oomplete results are bad as yet, but very carefully oonduoted experiments contribute something to the solution of the question, whioh may continue to be of considerable practical importance. In the Ohio ex periment there were nsed nine high grade Poland China hogs six barrow and three sows with an average weight of 185 pounds, who were fed dnring a preliminary week on oorn and wheat, half and half by weight At the end of the week they were divided into three lots, with two barrows and one sow in each lot One lot was then fed oorn, another fed wheat, and the third fed wheat and oorn, half and half by woight All that either lot was given in addition was water, coal ashes, sulphur and salt Two days before the experiment began, the day of the beginning, and two days after it began, the hogs were weighed and the average taken as the initial weight In the same way the final weights were had at the end ot the ten weeks of the experiment At the end of the ten weeks the gaina were: Lot fed wheat, 391 pounds; lot fed wheat and corn, 293 pounds; lot fed oorn, 271 pounds. It will be seen that the best results were obtained, for the number of pounds eaten, where oorn and wheat were fed half and half by weight; the next best result where wheat, was fed alone, and when corn was fed alone the least increase was made for the number of pounds of food eaten. To make 100 pounds of increase took 438 pounds of wheat or 453 pounds of oorn. That is, a bushel of wheat maae j;i.7 pounds or pork, while a bushel ui oorn made 12.8 pounds. The hogs sold for $5.15 per hundred weight. Not counting labor, a bushel of wheat oonverted into pork sold for 70.5 cents, and the bushel of oorn 63.8. While this is not oonolnsive In all respects, it indicates that nnder ordinary conditions, at least the less marketable grades of wheat can be used aB hog feed very profitably. It looks verymuohas if wheat was to be constant laotor in pork making, pat' tioularly in this portion of the oountry where wheat is grown oheaply and oorn has not gained a very extensive foothold. Some Hog Diseases. Paralysis of muscle of loin is a very common trouble among hogs, and may be produced in two ways, either by a cpid, or by an injury resulting in concussion of the spine. This latter is most ooramtn, and is usually pro duoed by a blow across the loins, or by a sudden fall by slipping when walk ing. Farm and Dairy gives this advice in most cases, when the trouble is caused by an injury, is to butcher as soon as possible; but, if it is advisable to treat the oase, it will be necessary to open the animal's bowels freely by the administration of a dose of castor oil or linseed, while, if there is muoh con stipation present, injections of warm water and soap will be found useful. In some oases, more especially if treated at onoe, cold applications to the loins will be found to be best, while in others it may be neoessary to use a stimulating liniment, when the ordin ary ammoniaoal linimeat, composed of equal parts of ammonia and olive or linseed oil, may be tried. Great care must be taken of the pa tient's oomfort, a warm, bnt well ven tilated pen being essential; and the food, whioh must be sloppy and of a relaxing oharaoter, should be given in moderate quantities. In severe, long-standing cases it may be found neoessary to turn the animal from side to side at intervals. In onr experienoe we have found treatment very unsatisfactory in any severe oase, more especially of large, heavy pigs; and, where the animals are fit for the knife, - we would recommend prompt slaughtering as soon as the accident occurs. Horticultural Hints. Tnrnipg are exhaustive to the toil, especially exhaustive of phosphate. All who grow roots for the market should market them as early as pos sible, the earlier the better, for they then bring a better price. Currants art propagated by making outtings of the year's growth, setting them in ground that bat been well pre pared, with not more than two bndt above ground. Mnloh when winter opens. From the North Carolina experiment station we learn that for hay, oowpea vines should always be cut before the pods are full grown, for in the ma jority of cases the weevil insect lays her eggs in the growing pod in the field. A fairly satisfactory way to oure pea vines is to cut in the afternoon when there is a promise of fair weather, and let the pea vine lit and wait nntil next day after the dew it off. The leaves will then be somewhat tough and the vines can be put np in moderate stacks without losing much foliage. The stacks should be as small at convenient to make, and from seven to nine feet high. These may stand nntil the vines are thoroughly onmd when they should be brought together and boused early in the morning or on a cloudy day, without rain, when the hay it tough enough to bear moving without loss of leaves.

Dr. Holmes' Schoolmate. One of the most amusing of Dr. Holmes' experiences was a meeting' when he was already past his prime with an old Andover schoolmate. The doctor had given a lecture In a. Massachusetts city, and the next day his host, a leading citizen, took him ont for a drive about town. The doctor es pied over a door a name that, long ago, was familiar' to him. His enter 'talner made the Introduction; but the 'merchant showed more Interest In the citizen than In his undersized guest The doctor Inquired If lie waa not a Student In riillllps, Andover, In 1825. .The merchant replied that he was there at that time. "Do you remember a boy there named iHolmes-Ollver Wendell Holmes?" After a slight hesitation he answered: "Yes; little fellow, wasn't he?" , The doctor admitted that such waa the fact, and added that be was that boy. The old schoolmate looked him over without much appearance of Inter est. "So you didn't take a college courser remarked the doctor. "No; I've followed the hardware bus iness; and I've done very well in It Where have you kept yourself?" "I've been practicing medicine (n Bos ton." "Strange I have never heard of you. I have been In Boston quite often, and I know a good many doctors there." "Well, I have also been a professor In Harvard Medical College, and my lectures there have occupied most of my time In late years, so that I haven't practiced much." Dr. Holmes, physician, scientist, lit terateur, poet and wit was evidently of small account to his whilom school mate. The Independent. Passion of Money-Getting. Bev. Charles II. Parknurst, D. D., la writing of "The Passion of Money Mak ing" In Ladles' Home Journal, says, concerning the prevalent Idea regarding the value of an education to boys: "W are considering the effect which Is go-, Ing to be bad unon the boy by being led to feel that the value of his training whether lt be obtained In a business college or In any other kind of a college. Is determinable by the amount In cash, stocks and securities In which lt may be expected ultimately to eventuate. That Is an indirect but none tbe less effective for being Indirect way of tell ing tbe boy tbat money Is so transcend- 0k ently great a thing that tbe only value that anything else can have Is Its effi ciency In contributing to that end. lt Is an indirect way of telling him tbat tbe only value of an Idea, tbe only value of a mental energy, tbe only value of a disciplined brain, In fact, Is Its cash value; which amounts sub stantially to listing Intelligence and putting It -upon the market In mercan tile competition with wheat, leather and railroad stock. Of course there la no such intention as this on tbe part of. parents when they hurry their son . into tbe store or the banking house or on to the exchange, but the effect Just1 stated comes. Is bound to come, and s damning In Its consequences." Three Honrs for Pillage. , At the storming of Madgeburg by Tilly, In 1631, this noted authority oaf the art of war laid down tbe general t maxim that after a successful assaslt tho soldiers ought to bavt three hours j f pillage.
