tee having given notice of a motion
to that effect. llut the subject, was
•«t mentioned during tbe day, and the

f made on the deficiency bill, and tbe
Item of federal court expenses

Two of the judges (Springer and KU*

K bad gone to the Indian Territory
B "with all the extravagant notions en
gendered by life in Washington and
membership in a billion dollar l*em
ocratic Congress.”
Mr. Chandler said lie was not yet
fn epared to make charges, but be be
ievsd from letters received that all is
nut as 11 should be in tin: admlnlatra
tion of the Indian courts.
Mr. Chandler declared that the fee

I his brought Mr. Tillman, Demo
crat, of (South Carolina to ill* feet for
a characteristic speech. He agreed,
wlyt Mr, Chandler, that tho fee sys
tem was wrong. A (Supreme court
judge had recently pointed out that
court officials were encouraged to get
up fictitious prosecutions. There is a
class of habitual witnesses in the
houth.* They do nothing hut earn wit
D'-ssea' fees, going around “bam
boozling negroes" and getting whole
teams of negroes to prosecute fictitious
eases. The thing to do was to reform
the law.
Mr. Vest spoke of the “robbery and
plunder" practiced by TJnlted (States
marshals in order to obtain fees. There
were coteries and rings of these mar
shal* who made it a trade to go
arouod arresting men and dragging
them hundreds of mile* to Jail, not for
purpose* of Ju*tice. but to swell mar
i shale' fee*
The deficiency bill was laid a*ide at

1 making February 12 (Lincoln's birth
day) a natioual holiday. Mr. Hill,
Democrat, of New York, said he
had intended to offer an amend
ment making the birthday of Andrew
Jackson a legal holiday, but in order
not to interfere with the measure, he
would submit, the bill separately. Mr.
Hawley objected tothe immediate con
sideration of tho bill, and this pre

BRAIN PHOTOGRAPHED.

New Yokk, Feb. IS.—A human brain
has been photographed. Dr. Carlton
(Simons of lit Hast Forty-sixth street
exhibits a picture of ids own brain,
obtained from a process in which the
oatbode rays are not a factor. He ha*
been nearly three years in completing
hi-- experirni-nt*.
He tell* trio story of hi* efforts as
8 follows: “The bruin has been my
especial study and 1 have worked in
dependently in a <{ulet way for nearly
three years to photograph it. 1 first
sought to accomplish my purpose
by passing a continuous current
of electricity through the brain, Il
luminating it by the spark, and then
I tried the interrupted current, but
this produced paralysis of the brain,
rendering senseless the subjects. The
ririncipte is illustrated by a flash of
iglit on a dark night, which carries
images, through which it travels to
the eye. From this, indeed, it was
suggested to me the same idea might
be applied to the brain. Again, you
know, the firefly is made almost trans
parent by its tiny lantern.
‘I am still far from having perfect
ed the instrument by which I am able
t<> photograph the brain. Of course
tbe more solid structures are reflected
on the plates, and 1 found that the
less exposure 1 gave to the photo
graphic plate ihe easier I was appar
h ently able to photograph translucent
' material"

MORE DOCTRINE TALK
SENATOR BLANCHARD SfcTS
FORTH HIS VIEWS.
He Safe the Monroe Doctrine Most He
(Enforced— Believes the Time has Come
for Legislative (Endorsement of the
Declaration of Congress—Broad. Hold,
Comprehensive, Hot Mot In Anger or to
Menace.
Tba Monroe Doctrine Again.
WAgHiN«Tox, Eeb. it —When tha
Senate convened this morning Senator
Blanchard of Louisiana spoke for the
passage of the Da via reaolution.
Senator Blanchard commended the
president for the re assert ion. on an
enlarged basis, of the Monroe dootrino
and advocated that it be given legisla
tive indorsement. Be beliaved the
time had come for inch a declaration
by Congress—broad, bold, comprehen
sive, not made in anger or menacing,
but Arm. The Senator's speech was in
good temper and evinced a spirit of
kindred friendship toward Great Brit
ain. Among other things ha said:
"The United States is expected to
atand aloof from entangling alliancea
with Europeans. We are to have, it
seems, nothing to do with Enropean,
Asiatic, African or Australian con
cerns. We have heretofore steadily
adhered to this line of policy.
"Shutout of participation in Europ
ean politics, neither asking nor being
invited to take part in tliesnrne.sre we,
too. to be deprived of the right to tire
•crlbe and dominate an American
policy? On this point the people of
tiie (Jn.ted'tftaius are especially sen
sitive. (Jo ask too people of the great
West snd those of the rapidly recuper
ating Mouth uud they will tell vou
that the time lias come for a broaden
ing of the scope of the Monroe doe
trine and for u much more enlarged
application of it. .Seventy-three years
ago, when this doctrine was first pro
claimed, the population of the United
States .was a little more than 9,000,000;
from 9,000,000 of people then we have
multiplied to TO,000,000. From meager
resources we have plowed and plunted,
delved, mined and manufactured,
bullded and constructed our wav toau
enormous aggregate wealth. We do
not have to make a demonstration on
laud or sea to proclaim our power nor
mark our readiness for war.
“This republic is not to act the big
brother to each turbulent or revolu
tionary republic or island on the West
ern hemisphere and convulse the
world about matters of far less im
portance than many that arise in our
own country. Jiut it does behoove
n* to proclaim a distinctive American
policy abroad, a comprehensive policy
that includes within Its scope the
three Americas, North, Central and
Mouth.
“The United Mtates stands at the
bead of the American sisterhood of
state*. Hhe hss an interest at once
direct and vital in the settlement of
every question that can arise affecting
any portion of the American continent
or any one of the free state* on the
continent. Indeed, she has an inter
est in the settlement of every national
or international question that can
arise in the Western hemisphere. Nor
does this position on our part militate
against tin- right of any government
to protect it* citizens in tiny part of
America, or to enforce payment of
debts, or to secure indemnity for
wrong*.
“The Monroe doctrine, even In it*
present proposed enlarged scope, is
not to be extended to interfere with
the business relations between the
American republics and Europe. We
would not interfere if war broke out
and such countries were overrun by
foreign troops. Hut neither as the
result of such war, nor a* the result

European power acquire additional
territory in America. War waged by
England or any other European power,
with South or Central American coun
tries on any just ground, is no concern
of ours. Only such war must not be
one of conquest And the war ended,
foreign troops must, within a reason
oble time, evacuate.
“The Central and South American
states desiring our aid to prevent ac
quisition by cbnquest of any of their
territory by stronger powers, can not
object if we insist that neither shall
they dispose of their territory to for
eign powers by treaty or other nego
tiation it is a poor rule that will
not work both ways."*
Reorganization I Inferred.
Wasiiiroton. Fob. 1 2.—The action
of the Populist Senators in deciding to
put their own ticket in the field for
the Senate offices has caused some of
the Kepubliean Senators to doubt the
expediency of ntteinpi.ing to complete
the reorganisation of that body at
this time, and it now looks as if the
attempt would lie deferred, at least
until there is greater certainty of ac
complishing something more than now
appears to be the case.

portsnre -Vote on tbo Tariff Hill.
Washixoton, Keb. 12.—Although
the Senate failed to accomplish mnch
yesterday, the --esston served to make
definite the program on a number of
important matters. Mr. Morrill, chair
min of the finance committee, gsve
notice that he would call up the tariff
bill on next Wednesday. Mr. Call se
cured nnanimou* consent that the
Cuban question be made the special
order following the deficiency appro
priation bill. Mr. Davis, author of
ths Davis resolution on the Monroe
I doctrine, gave notice that on next
Wednesday he would call up the reao
| lution. Thus the three most import
ant pending questions wers given a
definite time for hearing.
iionsideration was resumed on the
resolution directing the Necretary of
; Agriculture to carry out the law for
the distribution or seeds, and Mr.
Vast, Democrat of Missouri, renewsd
his criticism of the Necretary. The
Henator called attention toa published
Interview with the Necretary of Agri
culture Inviting impeachment and im
plying that tiie President would veto
the resolution if Congress passed it.
In visw of these statements, Mr. Vest
said, the President should have full
Information on the subject, and he
proceeded to show from agricultural
department reports that the Necretary
bad hlmscly, though opposing this
seed law, “used the appropriation for
his own purposes ’ by making exces
sive seed distribution* in bis own
Htute of Nebraska.
“It is enough," declared the Hen
ator, to make the star-eyed goddess of

Mr. Vest offered a substitute resolu

WssnutoTOJi, Feh. IS.—A dlscuaaloa
of Secretary < arlisle's observance of
civil service meth<ds came up in the
Senate yesterday late In the session
on a provision of the deficiency bill *
for the appointment of twenty-five ex
pert money counters Mr. Chandler
sarcastically pointed out that the
Secretary’s letter requesting the
twenty-live counters asked that be he
given the selection, as the civil service
commission was not able to furnish
the c.ass of counters required. It waa
tlius discovered, said Mr. Chandler,
that the civil service commission had
broken down and was so feeble and .
dilapidated that it could not furnish
money counters.
Mr.' Ledge, Republican, Massachu
setts. said there waa no decreptitude
in the civil service commission. This
request of tha Secretary waa due to
his desire to control the appointment*.
Mr. Allen arraigned the civil aervlea
system. It would in time turn over
our Uovernment service to a lot of
1 ’‘cigarette smoking dudaa" Tbo Ben- ;
ator said tdie two frauds of tha public
| service were the civil service commis
sion and the inter-Htato commerce
commission.
Mr. Wolcott interjected a brief but
somewhat sensational speech. He ,
aaid the real menace to the country
was the power of patronage lodged
with the eaecutive, and which had
nevar before been used to such an ex
treme as under the presei-t adminis
tration. A free coinage bill would
have passed through the last House of
Representativea had not the power of
patronage been brought to bear by ,

stltueneles had been debauched. The j
beat service that could be |>erformed |
would be to deprive the President and j
his cabinet officers from the entire ,
power of patronage, so that no longer

At this point the Menste adjourned. 1
