tliu visit will hii returned by Spanish

in spite oi thia, there ia a strong un
der currunt of fueling In Havana, aa evi
denced by the excited talking of angry
groups asHoinhled in the cafea. The
general impression among radicals ia
tliiit the cause of Spain liaa been be
t rayed by the Blanco government, and
the nation humiliated by what they re
gard aa the li rat etup in the direction of
American intervention. Thia liaa in
tenalfied the hatred of General lllanco
and hla assoeiutea and of the cunae of
autonomy, and ttila hatred may at any
moment find vunt in an outbreak of fury,
in which ease members of tliu govern

their peril ia obvloua, the troopa con

The arrival of tho Maine created en

ahiiinciton, Jan. 27. After the
transaction of some minor business, the
Teller resolution was laid before the sen
ate, and after considerable discussion it
was agreed that the vote ahould be post
poned until tomorrow at 6 o'clock, the
senate to meet at 10 o'clock, and the last
four bourn ol the dobato to be under the
15-mlnute rule.
After this agreement bad been reached
Daniel resinned his speech began last
evening. lie mude a legal argument in
favor of the ponding resolution, holding
that tliu law nuver contemplated giving
the government's creditor the option of
the kind of money he waB to lie paid.
Tho creditor would naturallv pick the
dollar which wiib oi the must value to
him, hut if he did not know which hu
would receive hu would do hie utmost
to maintain the parity of both dollars.
Tilt) tlllllHO.
Wahhinhton, Jan. 27. In the house
today the senate bill granting American
register to the barkeutine Sharpshooter
of fiau Franciscj, was passed.
A bill was passed making Santa Fe
the permanent capital of New Mexico.
Hitt, chairman of the foroigu affairs
committee, renorted from his committee
with a recommendation that it lie on the
table the Lewte resolution calling upon
tho president for authority in the con
stitution under which he negotiated a
treaty that will bind tho treasury to pay
$4,000,000 to the Hawaiian bondholders.
The Democrats manifested a desire to
discuss tho report, but the question was
not debated.
The house then went into committee
of the whole, and resumed consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill. Rep
resentative Hartmaii got the floor, and
for 15 minutes held the attention of the
house in a speech denouncing the lie- J
publican party for its opposition of tho
financial question. Ilaitnuui said hu
knew that many Republican!) were op
posed to the retirement of greenbacks,
"but," said he, "what will they do
about it when tho hanking and currency
committee reports a bill to retire green
backs? If wo may judge the future by
the punt, there can be but little doubt of
the result.
"This ia no longer u bouao of repre
sentatives," he cried in stentorian tones,
"it is a house of registers, it is n house
of registers of the will of those who ion-
trol it. In thia house wo ahould change
tho oath, and, instead of taking the oath
to support, protect and defend the con
stitution ol tliu United Status and per
form our duties to the best of our abili
ties, wo should at the opening of each
session swear to support, protect and de
feud tho constitution, provided we can
obtain the consent of the leading nations
of the earth."

Prof. John Van ltonhurir lately de
llverod un interesting lecture (it the
Acmuwiy of Sciences upon the .subject
of tho Gila monster. A good-sized audi
once wiiis preaont, says the. San Finn
ctaco Call. '
"It hn.s lwcome a common suprw.sitiori
for years," aid the lecturer, "that the
bite of a Gila, m oils tor was n poison
ous n.s Mint of a rattlefinuke, but many
of t he scientists denied this. Numerous
eminent scientific men stated thai from
nctun.1 experience they bad. demon
litruted that Uie bit owns harmless. One
of these. Dr. Sohufert, had himself been
bitten by one of the reptiles, and, le
sides the pain occasioned by the ordi
nary blto of an u'nimal, no ill results
followed."
Tho leetmcir then stated that he had
demonstrated that the saliva, of tho
Gila monster was (XjiKonoiLs. Its bite
would in nJmost every case cause death
it the tooth of the lower jiw pemctrated
the skin. It was the upper jaw of the
reptile which sunk into the fieh of Dr,
Sohufert, and us the secretion of the
glands of the upper jaw was harmless
tho doctor lived.
The MKiaker said that he had injected
the sitliw. of lioth the upper and lower
plands into piguoiis, niml in every case
where that from the lower jaw was in
jectcd the victim had died in a short
tinm. He showed why so many ani
mals which are bit ton by the poisonous
reptile live.. The d ucts winch lead from
the glands to the mouth oikjii between
the lower lip und tho gum. For the
saliva to enter a wound it must to
forced up from the lip to the teeth, and
thence Into the wound. Thus it is hard
for the jK)isouous fluid 10 reach the
blood, even if the victim is bitten by
the lower teeth.
LOOKING DOWN THE FUTURE.
A I'coullur lBdtai.ec of I'oplitkt In
Frmocr.
One dav in October, 18S3, Lady A ,
living in Kuo du Bel-llespiro, I "oris,
found that she had been robbed of a
sum of H.riOO francs, says the Arena.
She notified the commissary of police,
w ho instituted a search and questioned
the tiorvants, but discovered nothing-.
Lady A hen ennimerating her ht-rv-
ant begged the commissary to exclude
from his suspicions her second valet.de
chambiv, a youth of 19, very goodrlook
iug, very respectful and very well quali
llod for "his duties, who had been nick
named "le Petit" not on account of his
stature, for he was rather tall, but for
a feeling of delicate, protectinf- famil
iarity which his good qualities had won
for him.
Meanwhile, among- the friends of
Lady A there had been a good deal
of talk about a certain Demoiselle
12- , who they said, could see the
most, 'surprising- things in a bowl of
coffee grounds. M. L. d'F-rvioux had the
curiosity to accompany his governess,
to the. house of this person and was
quite surprised to hear her describe ex
actly each piece of furniture in Lady
A 's airtuient, ptus in review her
seven servants and say that, though she
could not name the thief, he would be
guillotined within two years.
Some weeks later "le Petit" left the
service of his mistress without giving
any reason, and two years later he
mounted the scaffold. The servant so
highly esteemed was none other than
Marehundon, the assassin.
NOT A FASHIONABLE WEDDING.

SliruiiUen mid tin- 11 ride Mmlil).
There was a time in Oregon when the
male inhabitants mostly wore buckskin
trousers, because there was no other
material available for garment making.
Oregon's climate, of course, is damp,
and buckskin once wet .shrinks fright
fully in drying. This reminds an old
pioneer, tiie Covallis (Ore.) Times,
of the first wedding he ever went to in
Oregon, lie said: "l.t occurred in the
winter of 1S16 at Oiegon City. The brido
walked two miles through mud to get
to the church. She was arrayed in
white, and when slicupciiiTd in church
her gown was sadly bedraggled. The
groom wore buckskin pants. Once they
had been wet, but at the wedding they
were. dry. They bagged at the knees
until there was room inside forn swarm
of bees, but they failed to reach his
shoetops. They ended somewhat about
the calf of tlu legs, nud the groom wore,

the groom was undaunted. His inline

they lived happily until the husband,
