of good flouring mills which lie idle a
portion of the year for the want of a

WASUtSCTOV, March 17.—The change
that has come orer the senate was ap
parent to most inexperienced observers ■
today. As soon as the body had ad- <
journod after its brief session, the army j
of office seekers who hare been throng
ing the corridors for days had an op
portunity to1 see their senators, and
they all found their way to the demo
cratic side of the chamber, with the re
sult that nearly cTeiy senator was soon
sammnded by a group of wistful-eyed
men. and then was soon obliged, in self
defense, to flee to the retiring commit
tee rooms. On the other side of the
chamber, the republican senators sat at
their ease and were unmolested observ
ers of the scene. Some jokingly com
plained that they had lost popularity
and the leaders, who rarely have a mo
ment to themselves, had leisure today
to sit quietly and commiserate with
their hard beset colleagues, on the dem- '
WTitic Mae. Several of the republican t
senators talked earnestly with Senator i
Stewart, possibly in explanation of the
party necessity which had impelled !
them to drop him from the minority !
membership on the appropriations com- 1
mittee. Jf he feela any soreness over j
this matter Senator Stewart manage*
to conceal it very effectually. He pro
fesses to be entirely satisfied with his
situation, being at liberty to rote with
either party or against any measures
which do not commend themaelres to
his judgment, irrespective of party con
siderations.
Coastltatloa mt the I'alM States.
Wasuisotos, March IT.—Erery pre
caution will be taken by the state de
partment to preTent any mishap to that
corner stone of the republic—the orig
inal constitution of the I'nited States—
during its exhibition at the world's fair.
It will form a part of the state depart
ment exhibit, and a new case has been
constructed to preserve the old docu
ment from possible injury or lesa. It
is in a fairly good state of preservation.
The new case is almost perfectly tire
proof. The same care will be taken of
the declaration of independence, the
articles of confederation of the colonies
and the other historical government ex
hibits.
Princess Kaiulani and snit were en
tained at a luncheon yesterday on the
receiving ship Dale, stationed at the
Washington navy yard, by the com

There was a noticeable falling off in
the number of callers at the white
house this morning. However, there
were enough to keep every one busy. *
This was diplomatic day at the state
department and in the intervals be
tween interviews with the office seek
ers and their sponsors the secretary
received Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British minister; Mr. J. A. W. (irip. the
Swedish minister; Mr. tlozo Tateno,
the Japanese minister; Mr. J. Pateno
tre, the French minister, and Prince
Cantocuzen, the Russian minister.
Arrangements have been made for a
reception of the members of the diplo
matic corps by President Cleveland at
the w-hite house Saturday afternoon,
when the doplomats will be formally
nresented to the president.
Will Not Accept Lightweight Geld.
Washixgtox, D. C., March 1’.—Sena
tors Wolcott and Teller of Colorado
called this morning and had an inter
view with Secretary Carlisle upon the
subject of the light weight of Denver,
Colo., gold. The secretary pointed out
the statutes to them regulating his
action in the premises and the govern
ment officers at Denver were tele
graphed not to accept lightweight gold
except by weight.
When lightweight gold is offered the
government, and the parties offering it
refuse to sell it by weight, it is returned
to them with the word •‘light" stamped
across its face, the same as the word
“counterfeit” is stamped across the face
of a bad note.
The treasury department has found
that much of the gold offered, in addi
tion to that offered by Denver, was
lightweight by reason of “sweating.”
In all instances the lightweight has
been made good or the gold has been
accepted at its actual weight. The law
provides that gold.more than one-half
of 1 per cent below the standard weight
of tolerance, which is 358.10 grains to
the dollar, cannot be accepted by the
Treasury department at its face value,
but only by its actual weight.
Te Open the Cherokee Strip.
Washington, March IT.—Active prep
arations are about to be begun by Secre
tary Hoke Smith for opening the Cher
I okee Strip under the provisions of the
! Indian appropriation act ratifying the
[ agreement with thevCherokees. The
j preliminaries to be observed prior to
| opening the outlet to settlement by
] proclamation of the president will con
sume considerable time. Seventy al- I
lotments are to be made to Indians who i
were bona tide residents of the Strip !
prior to November, 1891, and engaged :
in farming, and the Strip is to be i
opened to settlement under the provis
ions of the act to organize Oklahoma
territory.
Getting Ready to Guard Against Cholera, j
Washington, March IT.—A confer
ence of maritime quarantine officers
and oflieers of the marine hospital serv
ice was held today for the purpose of
securing the co-operation of the state
and local quarantine officers in the
adoption of uniform regulations in or
der that all along the coast there mav
be a uniformity of quarantine during
the coming summer, in order to effectu
ally guard against cholera.

TVs shi yarns. March 16.—More than
SD.iiO bulletins and reports already
wrapp’d for mailing in the department
of agriculture will hare to be unwrap
ped for the purpose of extracting from
them the customary notice to the effect
that each document is sent “with the
compliments of or by direction of the
secretary of agriculture. The last sun
dry civil bill contained a clause prohib
iting this information being given. "It
is law.” said Secretary Morton, "and we
will adhere to it closely, although for
me oven part I think it would be a good
thing if documents thus distributed
gratuitously from a department of yie
government should inform the citizens
receiving them as to their source and
intent."’

Igau—Importance of the Poaitioo.
Washington. March 18.—Secretary !
of Agriculture Morton in about to i
make an appointment in his depart* i
ment. which will cause a sensation. !
The veteran statistician of the depart- '
ment. Mr. Alfred Dodge, who gives to !
the country the monthly crop report, !
will be retired and his place will be I
filled by I.abor Commissioner Henry j
IV. Robinson of Michigan. The ap- j
point ment has been fully decided upon
and it will be officially announced
the early part of neat week. ' It is an
appointment wholly within the pro
vince of the Secretary of Agriculture,
being a chief of one of his department
bureaus. Notwithstanding this fact
Mr. Morton has regarded the appoint
ment of such importance that he has
submitted the papers to President
Cleveland in order to have the Presi
dent's approval ftf the change.
The government statistician of the
Agricultural Department exercises
more influence upon the money affairs
of the country than gpy other officer
of the government, not excepting the
Secretary of the ^Treasury. The
monthly crop report, issued at 3 o'clock
on the 10th of each month, fixes,
to a large extent, the price of wheat
cotton, corn and all other 'agricultural
prodnrts. The produce exchanges of
New York. Chicago. St. Louis and
elsewhere arc largely controlled by
the information given in these month
ly crop reports. At critical stages of
the market the government report has
been eagerly awaited and has been at
times the foundation of fortunes.
The successor to Air. Dodge, Mr.
Robinson, has been an applicant for
the position of Commissioner of Labor
to succeed Carroll D. Wright, but Mr.
< leveland is so well satisfied with Mr.
Wright's equipments that he will make
no change.
Mr. Robinson's influence, which in
cludes the foremost Democrats of Mich
igan. has therefore been transferred
toward making him the statistician of
the agricultural department. Secre
tary Morton said yesterday that sta
tisticians were like poets—born, not
made—and he was satisfied that Mr.
Robinson was a born statistician. Mr.
Robinson was a candidate for Congress
against Representative Chipman of
Detroit four years ago. but has since
allied himself with the Democratic
party. _
IN EACH OTHER’S ARMS
Despondent Husband and Wife Commit
Suicide in Tennessee.
Mtt.ax, Tenn..March 18.—In a lonely
cabin near Roelfoot Lake, in Lake
County, there was discovered yester
day the dead bodies of a man and
woman clasped in each others’ arms.
An empty revolver lying between them
told the tale. The bodies were those
of Abner Carter and his wife, who
lately moved into the county from Iowa.
Some weeks ago the couple had a mis
understanding, terminating in a do
mestic brawl, in which the woman was
severely beaten. She left her husband,
but a reconciliation was effected. Last
Saturday their infant died and they
became 'despondent and ended their
troubles in death. A note lying by
the bedside said:
Neighbors, we are going home, never
to return. We werb miserable in life
but will be happy in death. Farewell.
Abner and Jennie Carter.
Must Declare Intention.
yi ahusgtox, March 18.—Secretary
Carlisle is at present inclined to ad
here to the ruling- made by secretary
Foster as to licensing the engineer'
officers of the steamships New York and
Paris of the American line. The
tt*l. prorides that when the in
tention of becoming American
citizens is declared six months
previous to the application for license,
the Secretary of the Treasury may
issue licenses to foreigners as en
gineers on American ships. The
engineers on the Paris and New York
declared their intentions in accordance
with law, and will take out their
naturalization papers in due course.
CeMS- of this kind are quite common
on ships and steamers that ply on the
Great Lakes.
Will Kot let Women Tote.
LAKSixe, Mich., March 18.—The bill
granting municipal and. school . suf
frage to women failed of pasia^e in
the House of Representatives bv 13
votes, the votes standing 38 yeas to 39
nays. Many members were*fearful of
going on record, and therefore re
frained from voting. Representative
Barkworth, the leader of the Democ
racy in the House and a strong sup
rfrterof the bill, was absent It is
claimed that had he heen present the
entire Democratic vote would have
been thrown for the measure and it
would hare carried. The vote by
which the bill failed to pass was re
considered and the measure was
tabled.

Cleveland and the Senate^
YVashixstox. March 18.—A story has
been published to the effect that Presi
dent Cleveland had inaugurated a big
fight against the senate because of his
displeasure on account of the manner in
which the committees of that body hare
been organized. It was said that Mr.
Cleveland was very icdigpant because
of Mr. Hill’s assignment as a member
of the judiciary committee and Mr.
Murphy’s to the committee on com
merce. and that he had served notice on
the senate that no nominations would
be sent until these assignments were
changed.
The story is incorrect. Mr. Cleveland
might have been better pleased if the
committees— for instance that on finance
—had been organized differently, but
he has not and does not intend to man
ifest any displeasure or disappointment
he may feel. Mr. Cleveland recognizes
the fact the senate has a perfect right
to organize its committees to suit itself
and he has no desire to interfere.
Several senators whose attention was
called to the published story unani
mously denied any knowledge of the
alleged strained relations between the
senate and the president.
Cabinet Meeting.
Wasiiixgtos, March 18_The number
of callers at the white house yesterday
was much smaller than usual, it being
cabinet day. The rush ended at abont
11 o'clock, when Secretary Carlisle, the
first member of the cabinet to put in an
appearance, entered the mansion.
The cabinet was in session for about
an hour and a half, although several of
its members stayed behind for some
time longer, discussing the affairs of
the departments with the president.
All of the members remembered that
today was the 60th anniversary of the
birth of the secretary of state, and did
not fail to congratulate Mr. Gresham.
Secretary of War Lamont suggested
that it would be the president's turn
tomorrow to receive congratulations, as
he will celebrate his 58th birthday on
that day.
England's Position on Silver.
Washington, March 18.—Senator
Teller was yesterday asked for his opin
ion respecting the declaration of the
chancellor of the exchequer in the
house of commons that the British del
egates would be instructed to oppose
every bimetalist scheme presented at
the monetary conference. The senator
said that Great Britain would absolute
ly oppose free coinage of silver on terms
of equality with gold. That was what
she had always done, and nobody ex
pected her to do any more at this time,
but there was nothing in this position
irreconcilable with the attainment of
the object of the conference, namely,
the extended use of silver as a money
metal. In fact this was evidence to
show that Great Britain really desired
to do something in that direction. Her
financiers realized the necessity for
some palliative measure and something
to prevent the further depreciation of
silver, which, if continued, must result
in the total destruction of the present
monetary system. If that occurred the
future of silver would be assured, but
nobody wished to adopt such a heroic
measure to achieve the desired result.
He had no doubt that England would
be willing to support a reasonable prop
osition that was more practicable than
the Bothschild scheme.
Took s Woman’s Revenge.
Washington, March 18.—Mrs. Simon
Xieolaides, the wife of the proprietor of
a fashionable bric-a-brac store on F
street in this city, with a branch at Sar
atoga, X. Y., turned that establishment
into a scene of destruction about noon
yesterday. The affair caused consider
able excitement, as it occured at a time
when that thoroughfare was crowded
with ladies. The first intimation that
any one had was when the front win
dows fell with a crash on the pave
ment. A crowd at once collected and
the first on the scene found Mrs. Xico
laides in the window with a large *300
vase in her hand destroying everything
within her reach. She then jumped
from the window and went through the
aisle of the store, smashing all the cases
and everything in them. The store was
immediately closed and the police offi
cers stationed outside of it. Mr. Xico
laides disappeared after the trouble.
Jealousy on his wife's part of one of his
employes is assigned as the reason of
the outbreak.
Seeking Barrie.
Washington, D. C., March 18.—Indi
ana made the largest showing of force
at the white house today, the congres
sional delegation escorting Governor
Matthews and introducing him to the
president. The governor, in passing
through the city, called to pay his res
pects.
The delegation, however, seized the
opportunity to make a few timely sug
gestions, and Representative Martin ,
presented the name of Jerome Herlf of
fern, Ind.. to be consul at Havana.
The name of Joshua Jump of Terre
Haute was presented for collector Of in
ternal revenue. “Joshua Jump,” said
the president. “Umph! Well, Jump
is a good name for a collector.”
Representative Bynum entered S. W.
Ralston for collector of internal reve
nue for the Seventh district.
Senator Palmer of Illinois introduced

Sew York, March: Never in it, ha

wrought up. The excitement
Koch's experiments was as noth,nr,
it. Yesterday the New York Rewde
proved the certainty of its having ft
covered a cure for consumption liy aft
lishing three columns of expert
mony from physicians who during tin
past six weeks have been aiding i:,j.
vestigation by conducting independent
tests. Every state in the Ubm»
represented from New York to
nia, from Maine to Texas. When Dr.
Amick responded to its offer for ,*
thousand dollars for the discover; o!i
cure for consumption The Recorder not
only employed a corps of physicians t»
select for it twelve test patients in ill
stages of the disease, but invited the
co-operation of doctors eyerywftrf.
Dr. Amick had readily consented t i sup
ply his brother physicians without -wt

send them all test medicine; each -as
posed comparatively few physio:,m
would give their time to demonstniini
whether Dr. Amick had really suomid
where every other scientist had filled.
The surprise of both newspaper aid
doctor when the first mails Oro-:uat
doze ms of acceptances from progre-iiv
physicians and their discomfiture *iii
this daily mail increased fromdowsta

Dr. M. L. Amick, volunteered hi- av

twenty-eight hundred test treat-moms,
they found there were over four ton*
and requests for the medicines stil: m
attended to, each representing ar. in
patient physcian, Dr. Amick tor
graphed The Recorder to withdraw '
offer. This embarrassment cont now
until last Saturday, when the Reconkv
announced that "through itsinfcomv
arrangements had been made to a-1'*
