Wasiiinotos, Doc. 31.—The talk of
an early extra session of the Fifty
fourth congress hue been revived at
the eapitol by the contingencies
which may arise growing out of the
failure of necessary legislation at
the present session. Upon two pend
ing bills, it is generally believed,
hinges the question of whether Mr.
Cleveland will convoke the new con
gress soon after the death of the
Fifty-third, March 4. These two are
the urgent deficiency appropriation
bill, which contains the appropriation
for carrying tin* income tax into
effect and which is pending in the
senate, and the Carlisle currency bill,
which is under debate in the house,
and the fate of which will be decided
soon after the house convenes Jan
uary 3.
The opponents of the income tax,
led, it is understood, by Senators Mill
and Quay, will make a desperate light
in the senate ami will exhaust every
parliamentary expedient to defeat it.
Mr. Quay, it is said, has added large
ly to the accumulated speech with
which he proposed talking the
tariff bill to death at the last
session. unless certain changes
were made in the wool sched
ule. and is prepared for a long
siege, lie has already enough manu
script, it is said, to consume a month’s
time of the senate, and noth proper
support ho believes the efforts of the
supporters of the income tax will not
be successful. The New York mem
bers of the senate affect to believe in
the ultimate defeat of the bill.

THE NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.
Hr. KIiijoiih'h Import on IIH RunrohM
- Hangars from spurious Antl-Toxlna.
Wsniiim.tox, Dec. 31.—The officials
of the I'nited States Marine Hospital
service are watching with interest
the results obtained from the new
diphtheria cure. They have just made
! public the report made by Dr.
j .1. ’ J. Kmyoun of his visit to
| the Children's hospital at Devlin
| where the larger portion of
; eases suffering from diphtheria
, are treated. There were about
i thirty*five cases in the hospital at tile
time of his visit and their ages were
j usually from three to five years. The
death rate was slightly lower than
in the I’tiris hospitals for the reason
that tlie patients were sent to the
hospital sooner and the children re
ceived better care than was accorded
them in like institutions in Paris.
Dr. Kinvoun elaborately describes
the methods and practices employed
in the hospitals in treatment of the
disease.
The matter of the control or super
I vision of the use of anti- toxine was
engaging the attention of the Berlin
authorities. While l)r. Kinyoun was
there, November t, Professor Koch
eonvene.il a meeting of the Prussian
boar.l of health for determining what
action should be taken. Professor
Koeli had expressed the opinion that
there should be some government
supervision of the serum so that it
could always be relied upon. If
there was no such supervision, it
would not be long before spurious
articles would be put on the market
anil not only would a good remedy be
brought into disrepute, but lives
might be sacrificed when they might
Vie saved. It was decided at the meet
ing of the board that all serum in
tended for use in Prussia should be
inspected and tested for its purity
and strength before it would be al
lowed to tie used. This was satisfac
tory to all the parties concerned and
will be the means of insuring a good
article of standard strength at all
times for Prussia.
In this connection Dr. Kinyoun
calls attention to what he says will
evidently occur in this country.
Many persons, will, during the coin
ing year, prepare the serum as a bus
iness enterprise, and there will, with
out doubt. be many worthless articles
called anti-toxine thrown upon the
market. All of the serum intended
for sale, lie believes, should be made
or tested by competent persons The
testing, in fact, should be done by dis
interested parties. The anti-toxine,
he says, will never work miracles,
having its limits like any other
agents, and like a perfect piece of
machinery, will not accomplish the
full result unless directed by a skill
ful baud. "Some persons affected
with this dread disease." lie declares,
will succumb, it matters not hmv soon
we apply the remedy. The majority
will, however, 1 am sure, recover if
the anti-toxine is given early and
properly.' ’
In closing, the report expresses the
hope that soon every state and munic
ipality will take the proper steps to
provide facilities for supplying the
remedy to the people.

While nearly every one in I’itt eountv

ami stimulants only i|tiieted temporarily,
and all treatments failed him. Only his love
of family and friends prevented suicide.
He told a reporter the follow ins'interesting
story: ..
• I kept at my work as long as I could,
but nature gave way at last and I suc
cumbed to tile inevitable. My entire nerv

stimulants and opiates i had taken, my
blood had actually turned to water, my
weight had dropped from 171! pounds to 123

was in sight. Why. 1 could not bear the gen

THE CURRENCY BILL.
Mr. Springer Gives Another explanation
of Its 1 revisions.
Washington. Dec. 29. Representa
tive Springer said to-day in partial
explanation of the currency bill as
modified by the Carlisle amendments:
“In tlie first place the Carlisle bill
proposes a radical change in t’>e man
ner of securing the bond note circu
lation. The rapid payment of the
public debt, the limited number of
bonds now outstanding and the
further fact that many of
them a.re held in trust ca
pacities in this country and as
permanent investments by persons re
siding abroad, have rendered the kind
of security now required impractica
ble. The Carlisle bill propose for se
curity for the circulating notes of the
national banks, instead of United
States bonds a guarantee fund con
sisting of legal tender notes or cur
rency certificates to the amount of 30
per cent of the circulation applied for;
also a safety fund to be raised by a
tax of one-half of 1 per cent per an
num upon tlie«circulating notes until
it reach 5 per cent of the whole circu
lation, and as a further security a first
lien upon all the assets of the bank
and upon the amount which may be
realized by the double liability feature
of the national banking law. The
guarantee fund of 111*rty per cent, the

as an outcome of the exn,
brought about by the Lexow co,n"
tee, was sentenced by
raliam in the court of oyer and t(
iner to-day to three years and'
months imprisonment in Sin,, !
and to pay 81,000 fine. DecemL
after a trial which lasted three i
he was found guilty of bribery i
ing. while in charge of the Fifth
cinct,received four baskets of p,.a,
from Martin N. Edwards, a pr0(i
and dealer at 153 Duane street
When Stephenson was called to
bar he stood erect looking Justice
graham squarely in the face. A<
if he had anything to say why.
tencc should not be passed up0n j
he held a whispered conference,
his lawyer for a few seconds, but
not reply. ‘
Justice Ingraham then quietly
dressed the convicted ex-off,
"Stephenson, yon have been i
victed of bribery by a jury on,
deuce that was absolutely convinc
and no man, after hearing
could come to any other com
sion. The amount you got
worth of peaches) is of no t
sequence in the fixing of the pem
for your crime. You were a pul
officer invested with great powersi
you used them for your own bene
The law gives to me great discret
in fixing your punishment. Iunoo
people—namely your wife and d
dren—will suffer from your bei

consider yours to be a most a

some of the jurymen to rt
I must give great weight. I hi
also received several letters fa
merchants who know you smith
say that you never attempted toi
tort money from them or accept
bribe. On the other hand I havei
eeived communications which sht
that the complaint on whi
you were convicted was i
an isolated ease. X will emleu
to fix a punishment notexcfssin
severe, but which to my mind*
show that this offense is a seriousn
and that public officials must porta
their duties without being indium
one way or the other by bribe
The sentence of the court is that.it
be confined in state’s prison fi r:'i
years and nine months, and to an
tine of $1,000.”
The ex-captain took his sen e,
very coolly, and as he was cr.uO
tlie street to the Tombs prison. ’
spared the ignominy of going over:
new "bridge of sighs,” he said to..
of his friends: "I may as well
and begin serving my "term at on
