WAMIIXHTO.V , D. C. , Jan. 4. The senate
rOTumr.il buslni'ss toilny , at the close or Its
holiday rcooss , with n lair show of Industry
and nn nUanrfnnco of n few tnoro than n.
quorum , Mr. Allison , republican , of Iowa
tnndo his first uppc.ir.inco this session , Imv-
ItiR been ahscnt hitherto us a delegate to the
International monetary conforcncu and had
an opportunity of adding to his knowledge )
on the subject of gold nnd silver by listening1
to a speech by Mr , Stewart , republican , of
Nevada , 111 opposition to the bill introduced
by Mr. McPhcrson , democrat , of New Jer
sey , to suspend the purohaso of silver bullion
under the Sherman bill.
Sonio progress was made on the anti-op-
tlou bill and Mr. Sherman , republican , of
Ohio took occasion to stuto his vlows on the
subject of that measure.
'i'ho session of the senate was opened with
prayer by the chaplain , special reference
being made therein to the dangerous illncs
of Senator Konna of West Virginia , nnd the
trust expressed that his useful Ufa may bo
spared.
The certificates of election of presidential
electors from th < 5 states of Pennsylvania ,
llhodo Island , Mississippi , Iowa , Nevada ,
Vermont , Idaho , Virginia , Massachusetts
nnd West Virginia wore presented by thu
vice president and were placed on Hie.
To Keep Out tint Cholera.
After the Introduction nnd reference of
sundry bills and resolutions , Mr. Chandler ,
republican , of Now Ilnmpsblro , moved an
order that on Friday next , alter the routine
morning business , a ml on Saturday , If there
was no opposition , the two bills on the calen
dar reported by the committees on epidemic
diseases and on immigration , having regard
to the danger of the introduction of cholera
Into the United Stales , shall bo the special
orders and have exclusive consideration on
these days without otherwise displacing the
present "unfinished business. "
It seemed to him , ho said , that If any bills
were entitled to preference , they were urgent
in their character. They represented differ
ent methods of dealing with the apprehended
cholera ono a. total suspension of immigra
tion for ono year , the other increased quarantine -
tine powers to the executive branch of the
government , Ho understood that the execu
tive , oven without additional legislative au
thority , proposed to issue within a few days ,
regulations concerning quarantine that
would have an imx ) > rtant bearing on the sub
ject. HoMr. . Chandler ) was willing that
the quarantine bill should first be considered
and dtaK ] > scd of.
Mr. Harris , democrat of Tennessee , who
had reported the quarantine bill , quite
agreed with the senator from New Hamp
shire that those two questions were of the
highest importance nnd that action should
bo taken upon them at the earliest daj
Itosslhlc.
Mr. Washhurn , republican , of Minnesota ,
recognized the Importance of the measure ;
referred to. but thought that the uutl-optior
bill was still more important. "If an agree
incnt had boon reached for a vote on It , wt
would not hesitate to grant the request ol
the senator from Now Hampshire , " ho said
Mr. Harris , democrat , of Tennessee , dk
not think there was n disposition anywheri
to defeat action on the anti-option bill. Hi
caw no reason why the senate might no
como to a vote on It.
After a colloquy Mr. Chandler's rcsolutioi
was agreed to and. at the suggestion of Mr
Teller of Colorado , the McGarrahan bil
went over until Tuesday next In the mornlm
hour.
i Htnwnrt'H Silver Argument.
Mr. Stewart , republican , of Nevada , callei
up Mr. MuPhcrson's ' joint resolution , Intro
tlucod December " 1 , IbW , to suspend tin
purchase of silver bullion under the Slier
man act , and gave notice of an anicndnicn
to it , being the bill introduced by himself 01
December IS , with the third section modi
lied so as to make its closing sentence read
'And all silver bullion belonging to tin
United States shall bo coined as rapidly ai
iwsstblc , without delaying coinage , for do
posltors. "
Ho proceeded to address the senate in ai
argument against the repeal of the act o
IS'.K ) nnd in favor of free coinage. The peopl
at the last election , ho said , voted for n
principle , but change. The republican
would not agree to the change. The dome
crats promised to change tariff schedules
The voters decided that no change couli
bo for the worst ; any change migh
bo beneficial. Over 1,000,000 voters , withou
hope of success , protested by voting fo
Weaver. Others stayed at homo in sympath ,
or disgust , but enough voted to defeat Han
son nnd elect Cleveland. If the democrat !
party would romonetizo silver and give re
lief its lease of power would bo Indellnitt
Hut if it failed nnd the corner on gold wa
maintained both the old parties would b
overwhelmed at the next election.
Mr. Allison , republican , of Iowa , who ha
Just returned from the International silvo
coinage convention at Urussels , and wh
today made his iirst appearance in the sci
ate chamber at the present session , rcinninc
in his scat while Mr , Stewart was spcakin
and appeared to bo paying close attention t
bis remarks ; but ho did not seek the lloo
when Mr. Stewart closed and the matte
went over without action.
Anti-Option Illll T.ilioa . Up.
The senate at Up , in , took up the antl-o ]
tion bill as thu unfinished business. A
amendment was offered by Mr. Washbun
republican , of Minnesota , and agreed to , 1 :
sertlng In section 3 the words HO us to mill
the proviso read : "That uch contract <
agreement shall not be made , settled for d
livery , or settlement of difference , or by an
other mode of performance , or scttk-inei
in or upon any board of trade , " etc.
Mr. White , democrat , of Louisiana move
to Insert In section ! l the word ' 'Hour" us 61
of thu articles referred to.
Mr. Washburn. republican , of Minncsot
( mid that ho would make no objection to tl
proposed amendment.
Mr. Sherman , republican , of Ohio sal
personally , ho stood neutral in regard to tl
bill , as ho did not bollovo It would nccoi
pllsn what was expected of It. Still ho wi
disposed to vote for it in deference to tl
opinions of loading agricultural societies ai
individual farmers. The farmers of tl
country hud got it fixed strongly In the
minds that the sales condemned by the b
depressed the miirkots at critical period
when they sold their products.
Why .Mieriniui I'livors tlin Illll ,
The senator was disused to vote for tl
bill , so IIH to secure the farmers ami pr
ducors from unlawful contracts andcombln
tlons. It was very doubtful , howove
whether it .was within the constitution
power of congress to regulate contracts ai
to make things lawful or unlawful , mile
they entered Into Interstate or foreit
commerce. But ho thought that co
Sress ought , in seine way ( if it cou
o so upon the jiowors conferred to
by thu constitution ) to sccuro to the farmc
the fair and just market price for their pi
ducts. He , therefore , thought the object
the bill was rlk'lit , and that it ought to be ,
liosslblo , carried Into law In some constlt
tlonal way. There was now less than U
months In which to discharge all thu 011
nary duties of the session. He , therofoi
hoped that the senate would proceed to
speedy vote on n bill which was intended
stop or mitigate gambling In thu products
the country ,
Mr , White's amendment was agreed to.
Mr. White , democrat , of Ixiulsiana , mov
to strike out thu proviso at the cad of st
tlon 3 , and addressed thu senate in tidvocii
of that motion. Thu vote was taken , aft
further discussion and resulted , yeas , 1
nays , 10. ! As u quorum did not vote thu n
of senators was culled. Korty-four senate
( just a quorum ) answered to their nami
but without further action on Mr , Vi'hlti
amendment the senate went Into executi
session and soon adjourned ,

The officers of the company claim to have
discovered that Hastlo Is a defaulter for a

SANTA Fc , N. M. , Jan. 4. An Important
claim has been filed In the court of private
land claims by J. O. Needle of Lincoln , Neb.
The claim Is made for tlio Heath laud grant
of 100,000 acres In southern Now Mexico.
The grant to Heath was made under the law of
IS'il , which was the most liberal colonization
law of Mexico. It was passed during the
short reign of Iturbido and was In force
only a few months , and for this reason not
many grants were made under It. No
case under the law has ever reached
the supreme court of the United
States , but the courts of Texas have
several times sustained the law. It Is regarded -
gardod as one of the most important suits In
the court and seine now and interesting
points of constitutional as well as inter
national law arise in the caso.
Air. Needle is ono of the Heath heirs. Ho
made several trips to Mexico and Is assured
by his attorneys that the claim is a good one.

CHICAGO , 111. , Jan. 4.-pA.rchtylshop Ireland
has arrived In the citjy and has taken up his
headquarters at the Grand Pacific. In
answer to an Inquiry as to his opinion on the
Father McGlynn incident , the archbishop
firmly declined to express any. "It is no
business of mine , " said he , "and any remarks
that I might make would be entirely out of
place. "
With regard to the forthcoming papal celebration
bration the archbishop professed absolute
ignorance as to the steps to bo taken in this
country. "Tho most important functions , "
ho said , "will take place in Homo. Thcro
will bo some attention paid to it in this
country , but nothing has yet been arranged. "
Ignorance of the merits of DoWitt's Llttlo
Early Risers is a misfortune. These little
ju'lls regulate the liver , euro headache , dys
pepsia , bud breath , constipation and bilious
ness.

Odd
Things
happen nowadays. A man walked Into our sloro
one day last week , tried on a suit of clothes and
immediately had a fit , and the oddest thing about
it was that he seemed pleased about it. The year
we've just begun is an odd one in many respects.
While it came on time to the second , it came on
the first. It's an odd number (1893. ( ) Add its four
figures together and it's odd again (21. ( ) Spell it out
eighteen ninety three and it takes an odd num
ber of letters to spell it (19. ( ) There's an odd num
ber of days in it (3G5) ( ) , and an odd number of Sun
days (53) ( ) . The moon gets full the first time this
year on the second , gets rid of his last quarter be
fore the month is half gone and gets full on the last
day of the month again. While the year itself is
so odd , we've got done the stocktaking , balance
up the books , and begun the new year even. At
the same time we have some odd things left We've
a few odd overcoats ; that is odd lots , not odd pat
ters or odd styles. Some odd sizes or odd lots in
suits in both the men's and boys' departments.
We've some odd hats , not odd styles , but onlya
few of a kind- The shoe man has a few odd shoes
( not exactly odd shoes , but odd pairs of shoes )
There are a few little lots of shirts of underwear
of muff lers of neckwear and so on. Among the
odd things should your choice be found a largo
