'At n meeting of the houio Committee on It
rlgatlon of arid lands today there was an on
prcsslon In favor of the Herbert bill for th
reclamation of arid lands. Thl ? bill propose
to grant to the states of Nebraska , North nn
South Dakota , Montana , AVaihlngton , Orcgor
AV.votnlng , Idaho , Kansas , Novnda , Colornd
and California and the territories of Not
Mexico , Arizona , Oklahoma and Utah all th
arid lands nnd the water rights for Irrigation
ana educational purposes , the states nnd tc ;
ritorlcs to Improve and dispose of the land
in whatever manner they may see flt. Th
commlttco believes that the states can botte
conduct tbo Improvement of arid nn
eoml-arlel lands than can the Unite
J States , and that the states nnd tcrrltorle
'
can In a much bettor way dispose of tt
yntcr privileges , which nro constantly b <
i jomlng questions of dispute ! for the Unite
tUatcs government.
Mr. Plcldor of South Dakota , who Is
member of the commlttco on Irrigation <
arid lands , and who has taken an active-
torost in this question , said to your corn
spondcnt today that ho believed a Dill of th
character would bo adopted at an early da
and probably at the present session of coi
gross. "It hag become very clear , " said hi
"that the federal government will never el
any good in the direction of making nrnbl
tlio arid und semi-arid lands. Congress doc
not understand the question. AVe nave
number of times asked for appropriations t
conduct experiments with artesian wells an
artificial basins nnd hnvo been prai
ticnlly nothing. The state and tcrr
torlal governments grasp the situatlo
readily nnd iirq anxious to take hold of th
lands and make them tillable. The oppropt
ntlou of ? 10,000 at the last session of congrcs
Is insufficient for investigation or anythlu
else , nnd to my mind , and I believe the mine
of each Individual member of a largo majorlt
ot the house all of the lands which hav
boon refused to settlers should bo turnc
over to the states aud territories. "

TUB SENATE CLOTIWE HULK.
The action of the republican senatorial ca
< cus last night In fixing an order of businc
which contemplated the adoption of a cl
turo rule , securing the previous quest ! )
upon alt measures , and the laying aside i
, . tbo election bill for the consideration of
I ; general financial measure created various li
I ) pressions upon the minds of Individual r
publicans In both houses of congress. Tl
preponderance of Impression among tl
friends of the election bill is that 1
chances of success have been diminished I
last night's work. As ono of the tedding a
vocntos In the senate said ! "Tho republics !
have discounted In a degree the importan
of adopting the bill by the action which sa <
there Is a measure of greater Importance h
fore the country , and giving precedence :
consideration. " Some of the advocates i
the bill In the senate bcliovo. however , th
. the action of the caucus is a pledge by t
present to support the bill and push it to
final Issue at nn early day. It will requi
what the democrats will term "revolutions
proceedings" to adopt a cloture rule , at
some of the republican senators arguo.tbat
would be just as politic and well in every r
Bpoct to take the sntno stops for the adoptii
of the election bill as will bo necessary
order to make a final vote upon the moasu
possible. The democrats are determined
fight the cloture resolution with every ava
nblo means , nnd there Is not a man in AVas
Ington tonlghc who Is wise enouf
to Intelligently forecast the ultima
result. Everything depends upon tl
good fnlth of the majoority of republic !
senators in their determination to force tl
adoption of a cloture rule and the dlsposltie
of probably a half dozen republicans wl
have fought ngalnst a proposition of tti
kind , to stand with tholr colleagues. It w
roqulro revcral days to dovclopo the futu
destiny of tbo election bill.

LQVeiR AND HIS I'ET MEA9U11B.
Henry Cabot Lodge was asked today he
ho liked the ) action of the sonata caucus
displacing the election bill , In which ho has
pronrletory interest.
" "Displaced,11 said ho ; "why Its the fli
time th'o senators have really given It a fi
show. Now they have determined on a pli
. of closing debates , and It's the only thu
that can shut oft the Interminably democrat
obstructions. I hava heretofore been fcarl
that the bill would not gel through the sc
nto , but since the caucus action last night c
mind is changed and I can bco the passage
the bill In sight. "

The elections bill was then taken up am
Mr. Coke addressed the senate in oppositioi
to It. Mr. Coke said ho proposed to have i
full aud free discussion of the bill to thu one
thai the American people shall b
informed of the startling and radi
cal departure proposed to bo Innugii
rated In the character of the government
If the dictates of the political faction tha
happened to hold possession of all the depart
moats of the government were to bo regis
tercdiutho statute books without , debate
without discussion , without examination ; 1
the rules and usages and methods of procedure
uro that had for a hundred years obtained ii
the senate were to bo overthrown anu nelthe
house of congress to bo any longer a deilbera
tlve body. It was at least proper that the f ac
bo proclaimed so that the people might pas
judgment on the political party respousibl
for It.
Mr. Cullom addressed the senate. He ao
copied the hill as the best that could bi
formed to meet the evils complained of , will
the understanding that ho should favor tin
amendments that mot his approbation , Tin
bill had been opposed ou the other sldo on thi
ground that the general government bad ni
right under the constitution to coutrol am
munago the election of representatives to con
gross. But In that objection there was ui
virtue. A duty was imposed upon the gov
eminent by the constitution and the results o
the war to protect the negro of the soutl
in the right to cast a f roe ballot and have i
'fair count. Ho would bo pleased , If possible
to trust entirely to tbo states themselves b
do justice at elections , but ho felt couipellei
by a soose of duty to give his. vote for thi
hill , and would do so in an effort to put a sto |
to lawlessness In the southern states. Hi
know fully well that the passage . . tuu * bll
would glvn to theVlmvles _ albmonts at thi
soutnjin oJttffrtnf mnn vlnlnnna and rohol
lion ag&n&Trtiational authority , l > ut ho wa
sure that such results ( hinted at rather thai
courageously expressed ) would not proven
the bill being enacted and approved.
Mr. Bate took the floor. He opposed th <
bill because ho iolieved It ta strlko at tin
freedom of the ballot aud tended to breed tils
turbanco and destroy the pcoco and quiet o
society. Ho believed It to bo the most promi
nent of the many fingerboards on the politico
highway that pointed to empire' . Such logli
lution in a republican government was ot al
times dangerous and vicious and wa
cspeciallv so at the prcscnttnno.

much. In fact wo wcro told not to do so nt

theory , plausible as It may appear. Is still tc

The reported cures of Incipient phthisis arc
not yet conclusive , as aufllclunt tlmo has not

has been said und done , however , to encourage
us In our work of Inquiry. AVheu we
learn that in 'such cases after repeated
Inoculations with the lymph physical signs
disappear , general phthisical symptoms cease
and the tubercle baulll lire no longer found In
the sputa wo become more than hopeful foi
the verification of such novel and startling
facts. The reported action of the inoculated
lymph upon lupus and tubercular glands U
certainly very strange and whether wo accept
the theory of Its actions or not , tbo facts
noted nro ot great clinical importance. The
supposed elective affinity of the lymph foi
bacillnry deposits is not , analogically speak
ing , impossible and adds enough of noveltj
to our present reasoning to glvo an Increased
