Prof. Iloliinper of Munich reports tlio results of experiments with the lymph upon tuborcolosis cows. He states thnt in cases Where largo Injections were used a reaction similar to that noticed In human beings was seen. Two sound bulls which wore treated with the lluid showed no reaction and upon being killed their tissues wcro found to be In a normal condition. Prof. Ilollinger concludes that the highest value of the lymph h ia bo found in the diagnosis of cattle suspected of having tuberculosis diseases. The ministers are still delaying the pre- Bcnthtion tothtf Undtntjof a bill for the en dowment by the government of a hospital for the treatment of patients by tha ICoch method.

The disasters in curred by the roseate picture of the Argen tine He-public , us drawn by the Barings , has undoubtedly inclined investors to look toward the United States again and the tendency Is to look for something besides railroad stocks nnd bonds , with which KnglUhmcn have been several times overloaded and ofteusadly deceived.

Ho says that the land ofllco is now prepared to enter tain the question of these resurveys , tin ox- amlnattoa having1 been made by n special agent , and funds are now available to pay the expenses of the proposoJ work. Commis sioner Groff says further : "Daforo talcing further notion In the matter of awarding con tracts for resurveys In Grant county It Is deemoi oasentlnl that auyllcntions from oil of the sottlcri In each township praying for thorcsurvoy thereof nnd agreeing to nbldo by the same shall bo submitted to this ofllco as early as practicable. Kaon peti tion should also be accompanied by the cor- tilicate of the proper county ofllcer , attesting to the fact that the petitioners represent nil of the settlers In the township or show by the countv records. Grant county embraces townships 21 to 24 , inclusive , north , ranges 3:1 : toJO , inclusive , west , making thirty-two townships. In December , 18SSI , an examina tion was made of the official record of entries nnd filings on lands in said township and they were found to nggregato 529 , inclusive of a few indemnity selections. In view of the apparent largo number of settlers In said townships it Is evident that the existing regulations governing resurveys should bo complied with to the end that the dlssatlsfiiB- tion nud consentient protests which have heretofore attended resurveys In the state of of Kansas and Colorado may bo avoided , If possible. I have therefore tlio honor to re quest the odlco address of your correspond ents.

IIAUH190K 8UFFf.ntNa KIIOM A COM > . A large number of people who called nt the white house this afternoon were disappointed iu not seeing Mrs. Harrison , who was to hnvo held her usual Saturday reception. Mrs , Harrison Is suffering I"r6m a severe cold , which has affected her throat somewhat , and In consequence she woi obliged to abandon nor reception , A memorandum was sent out by the president about noon to this effect and 'Tvord'Tvaswlmmcillatolytolephouearto'1'tho 'various hotels In order to prevent vis itors from going to the whlto bouse uselessly. There was quite n crowd at the door at tt o'clock , however , nnd word was giveinto the ushers to throw open the house to the callers. Mrs. McICca and Mrs. Kusscll Harrison were in the parlors to rep resent Mrs. . Harrison nnil receive any per sons who might go through the rooms. Mrs , J. N. Huston , who was to hnvo assisted Mrs , Harrison , was also present. Mrs. Harrison's ' indisposition is not nt nil serious , although sufficiently severe to prevent her standing for two uours and receiving along lluo of callers. during the past month there bas been n curious succession of ills at the whlto housn , all with the same symptoms of a cold and r throat affection. Mr.-t. Harrison , Mrs , Rio Kee , Mrs. Hussell Harrison , all of the chil dren and two of the nurses have nt various times been afflicted In the same way. Great euro bus been taken with the children , for fear of contagion , but it has been concluded by those nt the mansion that the household is merely ireltlnp its share of what appears to ban mild epidemic of diphtheriete cold. Al' of the cases have been overcome and Mrs Harrison's cold , it is expected , will glvo way in a dny or so. The attention of the publi to the unhealthy condition of the white hous has again been called by these illnesses. TIM ! OPPOSITION TO TUB ELECTIONS MIX. In the senate today Messrs. Gray of Dela ware and Vest of Missouri quoted the lead ing republican newspapers ol the country in opposition to the elections bill. They declared that the newspapers of the country that fairly represent the people nnd wield an in fluence were opposed to this measure. It is improbable that a moro determined or skill ful light was over made in congress than 1 : being waged against tbo elections bill , It 1 nlw.iva oa-tlor to'obstruot than to promote legislation in congress , but when a major ity nro earnestly in favor of u measure and determined to put it through to the exclusion of everything else , opposition must give way sooner or later. There Is a great difference , however , In the ways of obstructing. There is a great contrast be tween the violent and noisy methods some times followed in the house and the quiet , subtle nnd decorous play for delay which bas been witnessed in the senate under the man- ngement of Mr. Gorman. Throughout ttio light , slnco the llrst Monday in December , there has been a most orderly lillbustcr , strong language being used In the denuncia tion of the measure under consideration , but thu , most marked courtesy being maintained between the senators personally. While everybody has known that It was a filibuster , there has been but little external evidence o : the fact. There has been the appearance o honest imd earnest discussion , with no othei object In view than n thorough ventilation o the subject. Mr. Hoar tins been on the ng- pro-isiveand more dlflluult side of the fight besides having an unpopular cause. Mure over , while Mr. Gorman has the earnest sup port of every member of his party , nil ready to sucrlllco any thing to defeat the force bill , Mr. Hoar has had to work almost alone often and has been oollgcd to contend against both secret and open opposition within and out- slilo his party. Ills cnlef active support in the llplit hnscomo from Spoonerand Aldrich , together with the tremendous efforts made in behalf of the measure by President Harrison. Mr. Gorman Is perpetually sought by news paper men who want "Insido Information , " nnd ho talks with them nil pleasantly nnd confidentially without giving them any Information , Some times one who U radi cally wrong in Ms interpretation of n mnva will bo given a , hint to that effect , but ho Is left to his own wits to work out tlio truth. Gorman takes few people pleinto his confidence , and many who take commands from htm do so on faith , not knowing Just the reason for them. Tro light will go down into histoVy n n memor able ono , but It Is the honest conviction of a great many republicans that the bill will not hocoino a law nnd that it will fail of passage in one or the other house.
